"Senior, my friend is trapped in the pool. But there are some barriers here that block spiritual power, and I don't know what to do."
Qingyuan squatted by the pool, propping her chin as she stared absent - mindedly at the sharks swimming around in the water. The sharks in the water seemed to smell the approaching meat and immediately swam towards the woman.
Their swift speed was rather frightening. Yong Shanling looked at Qingyuan by the pool with some concern. "Please be careful."
The sharks, seeing the woman a bit farther away, opened their huge jaws menacingly.
Qingyuan looked at the blustering things in front of her. The smile on her face disappeared, and her face darkened. A flash of red light passed through her eyes.
She spoke in a completely different tone. "You senseless things! Who do you think you're being so arrogant to? Get out of here right now!"
Yong Shanling also felt the change in the surrounding aura. The already cold space seemed to turn even colder. The walls began to freeze slowly, and the sharks in the water seemed to understand what had just been said. They started to swim around in a panic, as if looking for a place to hide.
But in an instant, the water surface began to freeze, and the sharks in the water were frozen in place, their expressions looking extremely ugly.
"I remember the auctioneer once said that senior practices the wood - attribute technique."
Hearing the voice from behind, Qingyuan put away her gloomy face and put on her usual smile.
"Come on, don't call me senior all the time. Just call me Qingyuan. Qing~yuan~"
Yong Shanling nodded half - understandingly. "So, Senior Qingyuan and Senior Qingsui practice different attributes?"
Hearing her address, Qingyuan felt a headache again. "Although we coexist in one body, our attributes are different. My sister has been in charge of all the previous battles. I didn't participate much because there weren't any strong enemies."
"Okay." Qingsui didn't know where she had taken a pot of fine wine from and was sipping it on one side.
"Sister, you're drinking again! I've told you so many times that once you start drinking, you..."
Mu Yijie didn't pay attention to the three people standing at the door. He had already walked beside Cruz, unlocked the shackles on him, and helped him put on clothes. But suddenly, Cruz changed.
His face turned bright red, his teeth kept growing, his blood vessels swelled, the whites of his eyes turned blood - red, and his nails became sharp, just like a werewolf.
Yong Shanling saw Cruz's sudden transformation and immediately rushed forward, pulling Mu Yijie away from him and running to one side.
"What's going on?" Mu Yijie looked at Cruz's appearance with some concern.
"He's just being controlled." Qingsui was sipping her wine, squinting as she slowly spoke while looking at the situation ahead.
"Can you save him?" Her eyes were fixed directly on Qingsui.
"Why should I save him? He's not my contract master." Qingsui shifted her gaze away from her and continued to drink.
"Sorry, according to the contract, the person we're supposed to protect is you, not anyone else." Qingyuan looked at her apologetically.
She watched Cruz constantly changing, his face showing great pain, and couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Then is there any way for you to help him break free from the control?"
"Someone probably made him eat something. Cut open his stomach and take out the thing, and it'll be fine."
Hearing such a bloody conversation, Mu Yijie couldn't help but feel speechless. "Now that our spiritual power is blocked, it'll be extremely difficult to cut him open."
"We can break this barrier. After all, when the contract master is about to fight, we must pave the way for her." Qingyuan replied to Mu Yijie with a smile.
"How can we break it?"
"It's very simple. Kill the person who created the barrier."
"Hahaha, sister, you're getting more and more bloody."
Qingsui burst out laughing when she saw her.
"What if it's that man?" Yong Shanling didn't care about the bloodiness in their words.
Qingsui licked her sweet lips, slowly stood up, and put on a haughty air. "Then just kill him too."
A puff of smoke filled the air. The two people who were still in front of Yong Shanling had already disappeared, leaving only a talisman on the ground.
"This talisman can temporarily hide your auras. Hurry up, little one. If he can't hold on, he might explode and die."
Yong Shanling picked up the talisman and looked at Cruz, her eyes full of grief.
"Can we trust them?" Mu Yijie looked at the empty place, full of disbelief.
In his opinion, the only people he could trust in this world were those with power and Ling'er. He didn't think he could just casually believe their words.
Yong Shanling sat cross - legged, closed her eyes. "As long as there's the slightest loosening from the master of the barrier, I can take the opportunity to use my spiritual power."
Suddenly, as if sensing something, she opened her eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Look, here it comes."
Yong Shanling, who had been sitting cross - legged, had already appeared in front of Cruz.
At this moment, Cruz, seeing the girl standing in front of him, mercilessly swung a punch at her. She dodged to the side, barely avoiding Cruz's punch. When his punch hit the ground, cracks began to appear on the originally solid ice surface.
Seeing the girl dodge his punch, he became even more angry. He roared and ran towards her. Just as his fist was about to hit her face, Yong Shanling did a beautiful front flip and landed on his back, then began to chant a spell.
With great difficulty, she managed to control him with her spiritual power. But then he suddenly made a forward dash, grabbed her collar, and threw her in the direction of Mu Yijie. She felt something was wrong when she saw Mu Yijie in front of her. She used her spiritual power to change the direction and fell hard to his left.
Yong Shanling supported herself to stand up and took a breath. She said to Mu Yijie,
"Uncle Shu, quickly go back to the living room and get Ye Sen down. I can hold on for a while here."
Mu Yijie looked at her face covered in dust, walked forward, wiped the dust off her face with his clothes, and stroked her head.
"Okay, wait for me." After saying that, Mu Yijie turned around and ran outside.
Cruz still didn't give up. He ran towards her and punched.
"Barrier activated!"
At that moment, just as his fist was about to hit her, a protective film appeared in front of her. Cruz couldn't break through it and kept pounding on the barrier.
She slowly slid down to the ground against the wall. Looking at the rather ferocious Cruz in front of her, she could hardly recognize what Cruz looked like, and the barrier couldn't hold on for long.
She thought that just relying on the barrier wasn't a solution. The moment he lowered his fist, she turned the barrier into spiritual power and punched him in the face.
Unexpectedly, he could use spiritual power. He used it to create a shield and blocked her punch. He took a step back and then rushed towards her at a faster speed.
