“But no one knows we took the Time Mirror!” Bu Yucheng remembered Nie Kuang saying that no one knew he had handed the mirror over to them.
Wu Yangfeng shook his head, “Brother Nie didn’t tell anyone, but we left Black Gate so blatantly. Whether or not, I think someone would suspect.”
“True,” Bu Yucheng nodded in agreement.
“But we still don’t know who they are or what they want,” Shang Bieye pondered.
“Let’s hope nothing goes wrong,” Wu Yangfeng said solemnly, and the three of them looked towards Yan Xinmeng and Little Potato by the stream.
“Little Potato, this should be enough,” Yan Xinmeng said, looking at the water bags now full.
“Okay! Whatever Mistress says!” Little Potato said happily.
“Hehe, you’re so cute!” Yan Xinmeng couldn’t help but pinch his cheek gently. Seeing Yan Xinmeng’s radiant smile, Little Potato blushed with a shy smile. I want my future wife to be just like Mistress, beautiful, smart, and capable, Little Potato thought to himself.
“Alright, let’s go!” Yan Xinmeng picked up the water bags and stood up. Little Potato also tried to stand, but then he noticed something red slowly moving towards them in the stream.
“Hey, what’s that?” Little Potato pointed at the red shadow in the water.
Yan Xinmeng turned to look but couldn’t make out what it was, her curiosity piqued, she walked into the stream. “Mistress, be careful!” Little Potato shouted.
“It’s okay,” Yan Xinmeng waved with a smile. She couldn’t see clearly what it was, so she picked up a stick from nearby and poked at the red shadow. To her surprise, the red shadow darted towards her ankle.
“Ouch! That hurts!” Yan Xinmeng cried out in pain, dropping the stick into the water. Little Potato was startled, dropping all the water bags, and rushed over to Yan Xinmeng.
“Mistress, what’s wrong?” Little Potato asked with concern.
“I… I think I’ve been bitten by a snake!” As soon as she finished speaking, she fainted.
Hearing Yan Xinmeng’s scream, the three men hurried over. They only heard her say she was bitten by a snake before she lost consciousness.
“Xinmeng?! Xinmeng?!” Shang Bieye, in a panic, lifted her from the water. Wu Yangfeng quickly took her pulse, his face changing immediately, and he swiftly pressed several acupoints on her.
