"Kaede! —" Wu Yun shouted the name of his beloved as he searched around the rocky beach.

A minute ago, his body could still feel the warm scent of nephrite in his arms, and the tip of his nose could smell the faint fragrance of his long silky hair. But in an instant, his arms clapped against his chest, and the softness and body temperature that could be reached and the fragrance that permeated his nose were completely gone.

Standing up, Wu Yun looked around, except for the irregular paving of stones and the pitch-black water of the lake, there was no longer a single figure to be seen on the rocky beach. Wei Xiaofeng disappeared from his embrace in an instant.

After subconsciously searching around, Wu Yun remembered what happened to him last night in the hospital ward in the morning, which was exactly the same as the situation he was encountering now, and suddenly understood that this was a hallucination made by a fierce spirit.

The Devil has taken the bait!

Wu Yun calmed down, mixed with excitement and a touch of fear. Although he already had a general understanding of the next routine of the fierce spirit, he was somewhat uncertain about facing her and competing with her. This fierce spirit is not as innocent as Liang Yi's soul, but is filled with resentment, and a vicious existence that will take people's lives if they disagree.

Then, Wu Yun cast his gaze on the surface of the lake. Sure enough, a light yellow figure suddenly floated on the originally empty and vast lake. Wu Yun took two steps forward to look carefully, and Wei Xiaofeng's appearance and body shape were as if carved out of a mold, and the painful expression on his face after drowning and the movements of his hands and feet were also very realistic. If it weren't for Wu Yun's knowledge that everything in front of him was an illusion created by the fierce spirits lurking on the side, he would have swam desperately towards the center of the lake.

However, although he knew that everything in front of him was fake, Wu Yun's heart was still tightly pinched, and a layer of sweat oozed from the palms of his clenched hands. His heart kept reminding himself that he was unwilling and unwilling to see the girl he loved die in front of him, even if she knew that everything was just illusory,

So, Wu Yun quickly took a step forward, stepping from the rocky beach into the lake. Ignoring the coldness and uncomfortable wetness of his shoes, socks and trouser legs, he tried to keep his feet from tripping over the rocks under his feet, and as fast as he could, he ran towards the drowning figure in the lake.

Halfway through, the water was already above his chest, and the resistance to moving forward became greater, and it was difficult to use force under his feet. Fortunately, Wu Yun had good swimming skills, so he simply threw himself into the water and swam forward with his hands and feet.

The water rose and fell before his eyes, and from time to time it relentlessly attacked his unsuspecting face, trying to invade his eyes, nose and mouth. Wu Yun had no choice but to stop his movements from time to time, wipe the lake water off his face with his hands, and then continue to swim in the direction of his heart's concern.

The distance was slowly being indented, and Wu Yun could still clearly see the face of the figure struggling in the lake in front of him. The originally pretty and lovely face was now pale, and the eyes blurred by the lake flashed with lonely despair and longing for life. She seemed to be struggling and noticed that Wu Yun was gradually swimming towards her, and her eyes showed joy and hope.

Coming into contact with such a gaze, Wu Yun had already put aside the doubts about the so-called true and false, and swiped forward with his hands and feet even harder. He mustered up all his strength, and the only thought in his mind was to save the girl not far in front of him.

But he hadn't forgotten the fierce spirit that could appear next to the girl at any time. As if in response to his concerns, there were ripples on the surface of the lake not far from the girl's struggling figure. Then, first a long hair full of weeds came out of the water, the part that should have been the face was tightly covered by the black hair, and then a soaked red dress wrapped around the slender body surfaced, and the fierce spirit finally showed his full picture in front of him.

Wu Yun unconsciously stopped paddling, although he had already foreseen the appearance of the fierce spirit, and had seen it once in his sleep, but when it appeared alive in front of him at this moment, he still felt a suffocating sense of horror, and a sharp chill penetrated into his internal organs.

However, soon, his attention shifted from the fierce spirit to the girl next to him who was still struggling in the water and was about to drown, at this moment, the worry about Wei Xiaofeng's safety overwhelmed the fear of the fierce spirit. He struggled to move his hands and feet, which were slightly weakened by fright, and looked directly into the eyes of the girl who was desperate for his help, and walked towards his goal without distraction.

But after a while, his eyes were obscured by a patch of red. The fierce spirit quickly drifted from the location where it appeared silently to between Wu Yun and the drowning Xiao Feng, blocking his way forward.

The fierce spirit was silent, and her expression could not be seen on her face hidden behind her long black hair, but she released a pressure with an eerie aura, a pressure that was full of death.

Wu Yun stopped moving forward again, levitating on the lake, his eyes staring directly at the fierce spirit blocking the road. He stared at the location of the demon's face, but there was only a layer of wet and disgusting black hair, but he could feel the death-filled gaze shining directly at him through the black hair. His heartbeat couldn't help but stop for a moment, the blood in his whole body coagulated backwards, the cold sweat that continued to ooze from his forehead slid down with the lake, and his body immersed in the icy lake water couldn't stop trembling because of cold or fear.

Really going to die!

Wu Yun's brain seemed to be out of control, transmitting such a message to every cell in his body. Then, a chain reaction ensued. His heart retreated, his hands and feet longing to go in the opposite direction, and every pore of his body erupted with a cry for survival.

However, he remained steadfast because he always maintained one belief in his heart: unswerving until death!

- This is just a test, the person in front of him is not Xiao Feng at all, just an illusion created by a fierce spirit. If you don't save her, the real her won't die!

- No, I have to save her! Even if it's just an illusion, I don't want to see Xiao Feng die in front of me and I do nothing!

- You're going to die! If you go any further, that ferocious spirit will kill you! Why should you pay for your life for the sake of a false illusion?

- No, I have to save her! I promised Xiaofeng that even if I face death, I will be by her side! Reality or illusion, I will not break my oath to her! Death!

The fierce psychological struggle was tugging in Wu Yun's mind, but the idea of moving forward to save Xiao Feng gradually took over.

The fierce spirit seemed to see Wu Yun's gradually firm determination, and the red figure suddenly approached Wu Yun, and a huge terrifying aura squeezed the air around Wu Yun, wanting to break his determination.

The face that was even more treacherous covered by his hair widened in Wu Yun's pupils, and finally occupied all his sight. What horror is it to hide the face behind that long hair? Is it a face with all the skin and muscles festering and no longer able to distinguish the facial features, or a face that is so white that it is bloodless and has a distorted expression, or a face with all the muscles and bones that have rotted away, and only the white bones and skeletons remain...... One terrifying thought after another, contrary to Wu Yun's subjective consciousness, kept emerging in front of his eyes, and fear turned into ants and insects, slowly gnawing at his nerves and heart.

Wu Yun couldn't bear this fear, and finally began to retreat. Until......

"Brother Xiaoyun...... Help me......" The familiar faint voice sounded from behind the fierce spirit, and it reached his ears with great clarity. At this moment, all fears were dispelled, and his love for Xiao Feng and his firm belief in saving her reoccupied his heart and mind. Then, a stream of heat passed from his brain through the veins and nerves to his limbs, and his whole body no longer trembled, but was full of strength and courage to move forward.

At this time, in his eyes, the fierce spirit in front of him was as ridiculous as a funny doll.

He yelled at the red figure, "Get out of here!" Then he swung his hands and feet around the fierce spirit, leaving her behind, and swam towards the girl who was almost losing the strength to struggle, and with a weak breath he intermittently swam to ask for help.

At last he came to her side, hugged the petite body, which had been soaked in the cold water of the lake, and lifted her out of the water.

With a violent cough, Wei Xiaofeng coughed up the lake water that choked on his lungs, and was finally able to breathe normally. Her consciousness gradually recovered, and after seeing the familiar face that saved her, she immediately hugged Wu Yun's body, which looked incomparably majestic in her eyes at the moment, and burst into tears. She could no longer express the excitement in her heart at this time in words, and instead, she took the initiative to stick her lips, which had never tasted the opposite sex in more than 20 years, to Wu Yun's lips.

This sudden and gentle attack made Wu Yun's whole body feel like he had been electrocuted, and his brain was buzzing. After being stunned for a moment, he began to cater to Xiao Feng's loving kiss. The fear of facing the fierce spirit and the fear of losing the person he loved was about to lose made Wu Yun kiss the girl in front of him even harder.

The icy water of the lake still wrapped around them, but they didn't feel a trace of coolness, and their hearts burned with fire.

After a long time, the two reluctantly separated, and immediately hugged each other tightly.

Wu Yun couldn't tell whether the girl in his arms was real or an illusion created by a fierce spirit, but the residual taste between his lips and teeth made him more willing to believe that she was the real Wei Xiaofeng. Wu Yun patted her on the back and said with a smile in her ear: "Okay, it's cold in the water, let's go back to the shore first." ”

Receiving Wei Xiaofeng's response, Wu Yun wrapped his arms around her with one hand, and swam towards the shore with the other hand.

At this time, Wu Yun found that the red-clothed fierce spirit that was still on the lake just now had disappeared at some point. There was no other figure to be seen on the huge lake.

Back on the shore, Wei Xiaofeng hugged Wu Yun's head and gave him another fragrant kiss on the cheek, then stood up, didn't bother to wipe the water stains on his face, showed a firm smile, and shouted at the lake: "Chen Xinlian, I won our bet!" ”
