When the woman saw her, she stepped forward to greet her.

"On the orders of young master, I have come to welcome young lady. This way, young lady, please."

"Thank you." Su Nian heard herself say this in her dreams.

Although Su Nian didn't know anything about science, she was very interested in history, so she had more skills in elective classes than anyone else. She recognized that the woman's clothes were those of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Su Nian continued to ponder on her own, but she was still unable to control her body.

The girl holding the palace lamp led the way in front, with two maidservants behind her surrounding Su Nian as they walked forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a cold feeling seeped into his body bit by bit. This feeling was not unfamiliar to him. It was the same feeling he got whenever he bumped into a ghost. But this time, the cold seemed to have seeped into his body from the bottom of his feet and seeped into his bones, gnawing away at his limbs and bones like insects.

The fog rose again.

The woman in white in front stopped, bowed three times, and then said, "We have visitors from the underworld today. It might be inconvenient for them to cross the bridge. Please escort her over."

Su Nian looked at the position where the woman in white was bowing. She couldn't see anything under the cover of the fog.

A strange laugh floated out from the deep fog, followed by an old voice that sounded like an old man, "Then come up."

The woman in white led the way, and the two maidservants that were surrounding Su Nian helped her onto the boat.

Su Nian didn't see any old man or anything else, only this wooden boat floating on the water. No one was holding the boat, so the wooden boat floated into the deep mist.

"It has been hundreds of years since we've seen guests in Hades." It has been hundreds of years since we've seen anyone in Hades. I wonder who you are riding on today? "

Only now did Su Nian realize that the old man's voice came from this small wooden boat.

"No need to ask." The white-clothed woman said coldly.

From the boat to the middle of the river, the surface of the river, which had been calm and tranquil until now, suddenly rose up like boiling water, and began to boil and churn. Black hands stretched out from the river one after another, peeling off and falling off the bubbling river surface, turning into dense white bones, shaking the boat while grabbing it.

Corpses were thrown onto the surface of the water one after another, the skeletons placed their hands on the corpses and flipped over. The stench of rotting flesh accompanied with the smell of blood entered his nose, making him feel dizzy and unable to think.

The smooth wooden boat began to turn left and right, and the black river water rolled in. No matter how you looked at it, the boat was about to capsize.

Su Nian wanted to die from the fear in her heart, but she could not control the words and actions in her dreams, so she remained in a state of silence.

At this moment, the wooden boat spoke up again. "I'm afraid this ship cannot carry so much. As the lady is someone close to the young master, I naturally dare not disrespect her." "Or else, I might as well just leave her behind. It would be better for me to take advantage of the water ghost at the bottom of the river."

The woman in white didn't panic nor lose her composure. She changed her previously courteous expression and said coldly, "This is Young Master's esteemed guest, please do not be rude. If you continue to delay the excuse like this and make things difficult for me, I will return to the young master and definitely punish you for your crimes. "

Su Nian wailed in her heart. It was obvious that the ship's essence had been plotted against in the middle of the river for a long time, yet it still threatened him at a time like this. If all of them fell into the river, wouldn't they be swallowed alive by the water ghost below?

However, that strange wooden boat seemed to be rather afraid of the "Young Noble" that the white-clothed woman spoke of. It laughed as it reprimanded her, "This little old man is joking and making fun of you." I don't know if young master is going to pay a visit, but I'll pass right away. "

Not only did the wooden boat scatter, the ghosts also dispersed, and the river surface regained its calm.

After crossing the river, the coldness gradually dissipated.

The white-clothed woman turned around and saluted again. "Miss, I apologize." She indicated that a maidservant by Su Nian's side also bowed. Then, she raised her hand and a black cloth wrapped around Su Nian's eyes.

Then, the two maidservants held Su Nian's hands on her left and right, supporting her as she walked forward.

There was a sound in his ears. At first, it sounded like the sounds of birds and beasts, birds and rabbits, and the roars of tigers and serpents. Following that, everyone began to whisper among themselves. There were infants crying, hawkers hawking, women arguing with men, laughter and crying. After a short walk, the sound of war drums could be heard. It was the sound of tens of thousands of soldiers shouting.

Everything was quiet. The last thing to be heard was the sound of music. The melodious music seemed to be separated by a long distance as a wisp of it floated into his ear.

The smell of blood was replaced by a cold fragrance. It was a very light fragrance, unlike the sandalwood in the temple, it was an indescribable fragrance, inexplicably calming one's heart.

Light began to shine in front of his eyes, and Su Nian seemed to have walked through quite a few courtyards before finally coming to a stop.

The two maidservants let go of Su Nian's hands and blessed the woman in white's body before retreating.

The man with his back to Su Nian turned around. The coldness in his eyes eased up somewhat. He looked at Su Nian and gently smiled.

"You're here."

It was also at this moment that his consciousness seemed to have returned to Su Nian's body. Su Nian still could not wake up, but she did not resist.

The man in front of her had slanted eyebrows. His eyes were clear and jade-like, yet bottomless. His facial features were exquisite. His face was impeccable. His hair was black and his clothes white.

"It's you?" Su Nian was slightly surprised.

The man in front of her was undoubtedly the person who had saved her life in the library, and also the person who had given her the bracelet. However, his clothes were different from before, and he had long hair.

"Have you forgotten the agreement of three or seven days?" The man's lips curled up into a faint smile. It was completely different from the cold and indifferent expression he had when they first met. This time, he seemed to be a lot more gentle.

"Nope." Su Nian realized that she had replied too quickly, and quietly added, "I'm just, I'm not sure..." You didn't tell me who you were. "

The man leaned forward slightly and leaned into Su Nian's ear. His deep voice was extremely magnetic, "Gu Mo Chen, call me Gu Mo Chen."

Su Nian couldn't see her own face, but she guessed that it was completely red.

Gu Mo Chen seemed to have been pleased by Su Nian's expression. He smiled faintly and held Su Nian's hand before walking out, "Su Nian, follow me."

Su Nian had thought that the outside world was eerie and terrifying, but she had not expected that this was a special place.

The blood-red moon was eerily round. It hung in the sky, and there were no stars. Outside the long corridor was a whole lake. The bridge over the lake was connected, and there were stone lanterns hanging on the sides of the bridge. Light seeped out from the lanterns, forming circles of hazy light all around. In the middle of the lake was a delicate hexagonal pavilion with a broken set of items on it. Black and white fought, and the scene was tense.

Su Nian was only attracted by the snow lotuses on the surface of the water. Her silver white petals were as tender as a newborn baby's, and crystal clear water droplets rolled between the lotus leaves and petals, giving off a glossy luster under the moonlight.

"Is this a snow lotus? So beautiful. "

So beautiful, I really want to get close … Su Nian seemed to have been possessed as she stretched out her hand towards the snow lotus in the lake.
