Chapter 24.1 Dangerous Illusion Array

   With her breath hanging, Sang Yuanyuan slowly turned her head. 

   Behind her, there is only the whole luxurious and neat jade couch. 

   “Hu——” 

   She couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. She was really imagining things. 

   This place is Tiandu! 

   Inside the imperial residence of the Emperor. How could something strange sneak inside? 

   When the thought turned, she was inexplicably stunned——subconsciously, she didn’t feel that the aura which made her uneasy was You Wuming. 

   Because just now, she subconsciously felt rejection towards it, and absolutely creepy. 

   If it was You Wuming, she should not feel this way. 

   Then……how would it be? 

   Her question got herself stunned. 

   If You Wuming really stealthily followed her, taking advantage of the night to sneak into the place where she stayed……how would it be? 

   She would be accompanying him to act while smiling. 

   Thinking about it this way, the corners of her lips unconsciously bent into a faint hazy smile. 

   Just as her mind was slightly relaxed, another faint fishy smell of air swept over her cheek! 

   Sang Yuanyuan suddenly opened her eyes wide. 

   Her scalp felt so numb that it even slightly twitched. 

   She was so sure that there was nothing in front of her. 

   Although this world is a fantasy one, even the Female Emperor whose cultivation level is the highest, is only a Master with ninth level in Shining Spirit Base, and there is no such thing as the ability to fly to the sky and hide into the earth.

   As for things like ghosts……It’s the same as in her former world, there are always people who say that they have seen it, but in fact, no one can come up with evidence of the real existence of this thing. 

   She calmed herself down, got up slowly, walked to the side of a bright candle next to the jade couch, picked up the long and thin gold stick and poked the flame of the candle. 

   The inside of the hall becomes brighter. 

   She slowly walked towards the door of the hall. 

   She didn’t encounter any obstacles. Calming down her heartbeat and her expression is just like how she normally was. When her fingertips fell on the door, she even stopped for a moment. 

   After she made sure that the ‘thing’ in the hall would not prevent her from leaving, she gently opened the door. 

   As soon as her line of sight was cast forward, she immediately froze in place. 

   Outside the hall, it was supposed to be a ten levels of white jade stair and there was a spacious entrance hall below the stair, where the bright osmanthus were planted. 

   However, what appeared in front of her eyes at this moment was a dense dark forest, and the soil on the ground was full of rotten fishy smell. Several tombstones were inserted crookedly into the strange and uplifted soil on the ground. One will know that it was not a good thing in a glance. 

   She looked down and saw that the black soil with rotten smell had spread to the threshold. 

   Another airflow attacked her again from behind and landed on the back of her neck. 

   Sang Yuanyuan calmly closed the door, turned around and muttered to herself: “It’s already so late. It’s not good to disturb Father and Brother……the way to write ‘Fen’ in ‘Fennel’[1], how many were there actually?” 

   She clearly felt that not far in front of her, someone seemed to choke heavily. 

   Under the large and luxurious white robe, her legs were actually shaking nonstop. 

   She knows that one must not panic at this time. Self-conflict is a dead end. 

   There are only two possibilities for this kind of situation. 

   First, it’s a ghost. 

   Second, it’s an illusion array. 

   No matter which one it was, a call for help will be impossible to be heard. It will only alert the enemy. 

   She took two deep breaths, and slowly climbed back to the jade couch. Both of her knees were folded and actually went to practice cultivation. 

   At this time, her state of mind is chaotic and it is impossible to concentrate. 

   What she needs is not to enter into meditation anyway. 

   She just needs to be able to sense the spiritual energy a little bit. 

   Soon, the indistinct green light particles gathered together. 

   This time, she could ‘see’ it clearly. Among the green light particles, a human shaped shadow keeps swaying around her, and from time to time would put the face in front of her. 

   Although she can’t see the facial features, just by looking at this form of movement, she can see that it is extremely indecent. Sang Yuanyuan had only seen this thin bamboo pole-like figure not long ago. 

   Then there was another gust of wind that blew against her face again.

[1] There’s four ways to write the ‘fen’茴 in ‘fennel’茴香. I personally don’t understand this one although I’ve searched for a long time and only found the backstory behind it. I thought maybe the way to write this ‘fen’ was not known by many people. So Sang Yuanyuan threw this ‘high level question’ out as the reason why she wanted to suddenly go out to meet her father/brother.
