The incantation of breaking the ban struck the white light, and blood splattered like broken glass.

White Lady took a step back and sneered, "I told you, you are an excellent material for cultivation. Hahaha! My dear, tonight, Lady must spoil you!"

Her laughter sent chills down my spine.

In order to protect my chastity, I cannot easily give up.

So, I cast the incantation of breaking the ban for the third time. I could clearly feel that my energy was depleted, and I couldn't even stand steady.

White Lady furrowed her brows, "Boy, this kind of magic is not something you can bear. Are you seeking death?"

I didn't speak, tightly biting my lips, my face tense.

The incantation of breaking the ban spun out again, forcing White Lady into a corner of the secret chamber.

Seizing this opportunity, I used up the last bit of my strength and crawled and rolled through the secret passage.

Seeing me crawling out from the passage, the anxious people immediately surrounded me and asked about the situation.

My voice hoarse, weakly saying, "Run... run quickly..."

Seeing my pale face and lack of blood color, everyone knew the situation was dire and fled in a panic, leaving me behind in the temple.

Only Zhang Yuxin came back alone. I was surprised and asked her why she didn't leave. Zhang Yuxin said, "I want to go with you!"

Zhang Yuxin helped me up from the ground. I didn't know where she found such strength as a delicate woman. With Zhang Yuxin's support, I stumbled and ran out of the Youlan Temple.

Outside the Youlan Temple, it was pitch black, and we had no sense of direction. We panicked and rushed into the undulating primitive forest.

Inside the forest, we couldn't see our hands in front of our faces, and we ran around like headless flies.

It was deathly silent all around, and we could only hear our own heavy breathing.

In the forest, the eerie laughter of White Lady lingered, elusive and seeming to be far away but also close at hand, making our hearts tremble.

The others were pale with fear, running and shouting, "Ghost! Ghost!"

I even heard Long Shaoye yelling, "Mom, I want to go home! Mom!"

White Lady laughed happily, "Such lovely children! Youlan Temple hasn't been this lively for so long. Will you stay and accompany me? Stay and play with me?"

Fatty ran fast, "Sister, we don't want to! Sister, we don't want to!"

Long Shaoye cried, "I don't want to play anymore, I won't play anymore, I want to go back and study, wuwu!"

At this critical moment of life and death, these guys couldn't stay calm, especially Zhang Yuxin. She didn't say a word from beginning to end, unlike Long Shaoye and Fatty who were crying and shouting.

"Don't run, my lovely ones. Within ten miles, I have set up an enchantment. You can't run away, it's futile. In the end, you'll obediently return to Youlan Temple!" White Lady said coldly.

Although we knew White Lady was telling the truth, we still held onto a glimmer of hope and kept running forward, running forward.

As we ran, when I felt like my lungs were about to explode, Fatty suddenly exclaimed ahead.

My heart sank, realizing it was bad. When Fatty shouted, it seemed like we were back at Youlan Temple.

I sighed deeply, feeling desolate, and just sat on the ground, letting out the air in my heart.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Using the incantation of breaking the ban three times in a row had already exhausted my energy. I felt like a drained oil lamp, and now after running so far, it was all supported by a strong will to survive. But now that my will was gone, I was like a deflated balloon, unable to move my feet anymore.

Zhang Yuxin urged me to get up quickly, but I sadly shook my head, saying I couldn't run anymore. If I continued running, I might die from exhaustion. Anyway, running was useless. I was now like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for White Lady to kill me.

At this moment, I heard joyful laughter from Fatty and the others. I thought these people had gone crazy. They were so happy to return to Youlan Temple as if it were their own home?

Fatty came running over excitedly, and I scolded him, saying he was sick to be so happy about returning to Youlan Temple.

Fatty was stunned, "What Youlan Temple?"

"Isn't this Youlan Temple ahead?" I asked Fatty.

Fatty laughed and said, of course not. Seeing that Fatty wasn't joking, I felt strange and quickly asked Fatty what place was ahead.

Fatty earnestly answered, "It's Fairy Lake!"

Fairy Lake?!

Ahead was actually Fairy Lake?!

Could it be that everyone was so happy because we had escaped from Youlan Temple and returned to Fairy Lake?

Wait a minute, since we had returned to Fairy Lake, it meant that we had already escaped the enchantment!

With this thought, I instantly regained some strength and happily wanted to jump up from the ground.

Great!

We finally made it out!

We finally made it out! Hahaha!

But then I couldn't help but think, after being trapped in White Lady's enchantment for so many days, how did we manage to escape? Could it be that White Lady intentionally let us go? The thousand-year-old fox demon couldn't be so kind-hearted, right?

The more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Fatty said, "Why think so much? Whatever way we escaped, maybe it was a blessing from heaven. Anyway, we've escaped now!"

I nodded and walked slowly towards the lake with Zhang Yuxin.

Moonlight shimmered on the lake, creating a dream-like shimmer, as beautiful as a scene from a fairy tale.

Looking at the beautiful Fairy Lake, I felt like everything that had happened in the past few days was just a nightmare.

Now, the nightmare was over, and we had finally returned to reality.

But had the nightmare truly ended?

Everyone was cheering and celebrating their miraculous survival.

Fatty and the others crouched by the lake, scooping up water and drinking greedily, washing away the sweat and dirt from their faces with the clear water.

I also went over, drinking water hungrily by the lake and washing my face, feeling a bit of strength returning to me.

When I looked up, I suddenly felt something was off. Why was it so quiet behind me?

Just a moment ago, everyone was talking and laughing, why did it suddenly become silent?

I quickly turned around and was shocked by the sight before me. Fatty and the others were all lying on the ground, their eyes closed. I didn't know if they were dead or unconscious.

My temples throbbed, what was going on? Why did they suddenly become like this?

My heart tightened, and I ran to Fatty, taking his pulse.
