I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 210 Silver Dragon

The wind howled and whistled through the empty mountains, as if some non-human creature was weeping softly.

Fei Xi dragged her heavy legs, struggling slowly down the mountain. Her knees felt as if their tendons and bones had been removed, limp and powerless, unable to muster any strength.

A sense of resentment welled up in her heart, blaming Cui Chou for leaving her alone here.

However, upon further reflection, it became clear that the other party had no special relationship with him. After being insulted by him, the fact that they didn't retaliate was already more than generous.

Reason told her this, but Fei Xi's resentment kept rising uncontrollably.

She felt as if she was being affected by this strange place again.

With a sigh, Fei Xi reluctantly raised her hand to calculate for Cui Chou.

Her Little Six Ren divination technique was learned from her master, Wei Jiucheng.

Wei Jiucheng revered the Dao and followed the natural way. Apart from being overly stubborn about her affairs, he always knew and followed the will of Heaven and never consulted fortune tellers for himself.

The same is true of Fei Xi.

Since entering this temple, everything that has happened has been beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. The place that Qiu Shuying kidnapped and forced her into has an indescribable strangeness, causing her right eye to twitch incessantly.

Here, Fei Xi cannot accurately determine her location, nor can she feel the passage of time.

What alarmed Fei Xi the most was that she realized this place was constantly tempting her to have extreme thoughts.

After driving Cui Chou away, Fei Xi, despite feeling sore and weak all over, forced herself to stand up and tried to find a way to leave the place.

However, the continuous cliffs and peaks stretch as far as the eye can see.

Having climbed down from the mountain, Fei Xi was momentarily at a loss as to where to go next.

Unable to calculate his own fortune, Fei Xi could only use Cui Chou's birth date and time to predict his recent fortune, in order to determine whether they could successfully leave this place.

"The six yin lines transform into yang, forming the first line of the Fu hexagram... Does this mean 'the return of yang'?"

The divination result of Cui Chou turning from bad to good brought Fei Xi some comfort.

She calculated the other party's current location again, but at this moment, it seemed that God had realized she was cheating and refused to reveal any more information.

Fei Xi resignedly lowered her hand and walked forward naturally.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Fei Xi was both hungry and thirsty.

Previously, she hadn't finished her breakfast when Prince Yaro interrupted her, and since then, she hadn't eaten a single grain of rice all day.

She didn't know how long she had been unconscious after being swept away by the hurricane. But she figured she hadn't eaten for at least a day and a night.

Fei Xi rummaged through her clothes and found three pieces of local specialty candy in the sachet at her waist, which she had prepared to share with her junior sister.

The snow-white sugar is made of fine, delicate strands, like dragon whiskers, interwoven in layers.

Fei Xi found a relatively flat stone and sat down.

She carefully picked up a piece of candy and quickly put it in her mouth. Taking a gentle bite, she could feel the rich and pure sweetness.

The maltose strands melt in your mouth, and the delicate aroma of white glutinous rice flour perfectly balances the sweetness of the sugar, making the entire candy a rich and mellow sweetness in its layered and delicate texture.

Fei Xi ate only one piece, then wrapped the rest up and put it back into the sachet.

She wasn't reluctant to eat it because she wanted to save it for her junior sister and junior brother Ji.

I'm so thirsty!

She had just forced herself to swallow repeatedly, barely managing to get the equally dry glutinous rice flour through her parched throat.

The empty stomach found some comfort after eating the candy.

However, what followed was an unbearable thirst.

Water, water, water!

Where is the water?

Fei Xi's fingers moved so fast they left afterimages as she calculated. Fortunately, this time fate did not make things difficult for her and gave her a direction directly—diagonally downwards to her right.

Fei Xi braced herself, took a few deep breaths, and the moment her left foot touched the ground, her right foot flew away like a gust of wind.

In an instant, her figure appeared several meters away.

The elusive and mysterious steps of Qimen Dunjia, although not requiring internal energy support, are extremely mentally and physically demanding, and also require a certain amount of strength.

Only when all three are combined can a remarkable effect be achieved.

Fei Xi knew that in her current state, it would be difficult for her to maintain the use of the Ethereal Steps for long.

But in order to get water as soon as possible, she had no time to think about anything else.

Not knowing exactly how long they had been running, Fei Xi secretly estimated that it might have taken about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

The calculated directions guided her as she traversed the crevices of the mountains.

Just as Fei Xi thought she might have reached the very center of the mountain range, she faintly heard the sound of water dripping.

She stopped and listened intently, looking up at the sky as she listened.

All around were steep mountain ridges, as if carved by a knife and axe, and small pieces of stone would fall from Fei Xi's head from time to time.

There was no vegetation here; it was a desolate, empty place with nothing but exposed gray rock formations and scattered stones.

Is there really water here?

With questions in mind, Fei Xi carefully walked toward the sound of dripping water.

Sharp-edged stones were scattered all over the ground, and every step had to be taken with caution to avoid being pierced by these sharp stones.

The surrounding light was dim, and the shadow of the cliff overhead was stretched extremely long. The sound of a few drops of water echoed clearly in this tranquil world.

After determining the location, Fei Xi rushed towards the direction of the water droplet.

Soon, in the middle of a majestic mountain, Fei Xi discovered a large cave that was as tall as two people, and the sound of water was coming from the cave.

On the steep rock face, Fei Xi's hands were covered in blood as she climbed, and her clothes were torn to shreds from the friction during the climb.

Finally, before she was completely exhausted, she climbed to the edge of the cave.

Sitting at the entrance of the cave, Fei Xi rested for a while and looked down. The dark cave should have been pitch black.

Something was glowing, which allowed Fei Xi to vaguely see the path beneath her feet.

As soon as you enter the cave, there is a steep, smooth slope, as steep as a cliff.

This slope is about three zhang high. If someone rushes forward without seeing clearly, they will surely fall and suffer a terrible fall.

What should he do next? Fei Xi was caught in a dilemma.

There was no vegetation in the cave, and nothing around to use for leverage.

Her throat was dry and sore, and if she didn't drink water soon, Fei Xi felt she would die of thirst.

Especially after entering the cave, the clear sound of dripping water brought her desire for water to its peak.

Is it better to die of thirst or to fall to your death?

This is not a multiple-choice question, but a suicide question.

Just as Fei Xi was in a state of great distress, a sudden gust of wind blew in from nowhere.

Fei Xi was caught off guard and was blown down by the strong wind!

dying!

Fei Xi instinctively closed her eyes, but the expected pain did not come.

The wind carried her safely to the ground and then disappeared.

Fei Xi's face was ashen, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she had thought of something. Without further hesitation, she hurried toward the depths of the cave.

The cave grew increasingly dark and deep, giving off an eerie and damp feeling, as if one had stepped into the belly of a giant beast, where danger lurked everywhere, making one's heart uneasy.

As Fei Xi grew increasingly irritable and contemplated grabbing a knife to attack someone...

Around a bend, she saw an enormous pool.

The water in the pool was as black as ink, thick like solidified black mud, and emitted a nauseating stench.

However, Fei Xi didn't linger on the strange pool.

She opened her mouth slightly, staring at the center of the pool with a look of astonishment on her face.

A giant dragon radiating a cold, silvery light was coiled on the platform in the middle of the pool.
