The morning wind blew cold air through the open window and brought a delicate fragrance that refreshed a person’s heart.

The person sleeping on the bed unconsciously turned over and wrapped the blanket tighter around her body. Such a pleasant time was a good time to sleep in.

However, someone rudely lifted the blanket and pulled up the person lying on the bed.

Wen Ran was jolted awake from her dream. She looked at the young girl’s bright and beautiful face and was frozen stiff for a moment.

“Did you hurt your brain or something when you fell from the cliff?”

Wen Ran’s mind became clear and she said expressionlessly, “You’ll have to take care of me for the rest of my life if I hurt my brain from the fall.”

“Don’t blame me on purpose!” Qiu Shui sat on a chair and crossed her legs. “I never asked you to fall with me, so I’m not responsible for you if you hurt your brain from the fall.”

‘This ghoul of a girl!’ Wen Ran cursed.

Wen Ran did not have the mood to argue with her. She looked around the room and noticed the rather simple yet elegant decor. The wooden table and cabinet were all made of good-quality wood, and the owner of this room had to be someone unique.

Qiu Shui had the same reaction as Wen Ran when she woke up earlier. As soon as she saw Wen Ran scrutinizing the room, she said, “You don’t need to bother looking. I’ve already checked the entire house and didn’t find anything strange. The only unusual thing is that I can’t use my spiritual power right now.”

Upon hearing that, Wen Ran tried to lift her hand to form a seal. Nothing resulted from the seal, which clearly demonstrated that she would not be able to use any spells. She frowned and said, “What is this place?”

“I don’t know. All I remember was falling from the cliff. I was already here when I woke up.”

Wen Ran noticed something different about her body. She looked down and saw that she was wearing a yellow dress that was not what she originally wore. She looked at the Qiu Shui, who was also wearing the representative color of Hidden Abyss Valley, and asked, “Did you change my clothes for me?”

Qiu Shui crossed her arms and raised her head in a pampered manner. “Your clothes were all wet after falling from the waterfall. I can’t just watch you die of illness, can I?” she remarkedunhappily.

“Oh.”

Qiu Shui felt a little uneasy for some reason. She glared at Wen Ran, who was sitting on the bed, and said in a louder voice, “I’m not actually worried that you’ll fall sick. I just… Well, I remembered that you were to be the eldest miss of the Immortal Ascension Mansion. If something happens to you, the Immortal Ascension Mansion will definitely cause trouble with us at the Hidden Abyss Valley. We’re not afraid of trouble, of course, but if word gets out that I’ve bullied you, it’ll affect my reputation as a young lady who is beautiful on the outside and smart on the inside. That isn’t good.”

Wen Ran wondered if Qiu Shui misunderstood the words ‘beautiful on the outside but smart on the inside’?

She stared at Qiu Shui for a moment. “All I said was ‘oh’. Did you have to explain everything to me?”

“If I don’t explain, you might mistakenly think that I’m a nice person.” Qiu Shui turned her face away. She avoided Wen Ran’s gaze and mumbled softly, “I’m not a good person.”

Wen Ran did not know whether to laugh or cry because Qiu Shui was thinking the complete opposite of what she said.

Wen Ran decided to act as if she believed her words. She got down from the bed and tried to push the locked door, but it did not seem to open. Undeterred, she tried mobilizing her spiritual power again but still there was no response.

Qiu Shui was able to take out clothes from her storage space to change into, but her cultivation levels were somehow restricted.

Wen Ran walked to the slightly opened window, and through the crack, she could see a large patch of pear trees outside. The white pear flowers swayed in the wind, creating the impression that they were a pure and spotless white ocean.

Strangely, however, the trees seemed to be so tall that they covered the sky.

The pear trees made Wen Ran think of someone.

Seeing that Wen Ran had been standing by the window in deep thought for a long time, Qiu Shui could not suppress her curiosity and walked over. “What’s gotten you in such deep thought?”

“The master of this place has restricted our freedom, but he doesn’t seem to want to hurt us.”

“Then why did he save us from the cliff and lock us up here?”

“My only guess is that he’s plotting something against us,”

Qiu Shui immediately covered her chest and trembled in fear. “Are you saying that he’s coveting my beauty?!”

Wen Ran glanced at the young girl’s slightly immature face and still girlish face. She asked curiously, “You were so full of confidence when you were tied to the waterfall earlier and had to face a life and death crisis. Why do you seem as timid as a mouse right now?”

“That’s because I can’t lose my composure when I’m facing off against someone. Now that the person who imprisoned us isn’t here, what’s the point of putting on that bravery and fearlessness?”

Wen Ran nodded. “I see. You do have a point.”

Qiu Shui’s eyes lit up. “You think I’m right, don’t you?”

When Wen Ran looked over, Qiu Shui quickly turned her head away and put on an arrogant posture. “Don’t misunderstand that I’m happy because you agreed with me. I have always been a rational person, and a lot of people tend to agree with my thoughts.”

“I understand. You’re saying that very few people acknowledge the way you think.”

Qiu Shui turned back and shot Wen Ran a look. “You!”

However, Wen Ran ignored her and pushed the window open completely.

Qiu Shui’s anger disappeared suddenly and she looked at Wen Ran as the latter lifted her skirt in an unladylike manner. “What are you doing?” she asked in confusion.

“Finding the exit.” Wen Ran placed her hands on the window ledge and propped herself up to climb out the window.

Qiu Shui immediately reminded her, “I’ve already seen the place. It’s as high as a four or five-story building! And besides, none of your magic equipment will be effective.”

In other words, even flying magic weapons could not be used here.

She would have tried jumping down from there if she could, but they had turned into ordinary people because they could not use their cultivation anymore. If they fell from such a high place, they would be seriously injured at best, and dead at worst.

“Go get the bedsheets,” Wen Ran said to Qiu Shui after observing the environment outside.

Qiu Shui immediately did as told. After she handed the item over to Wen Ran, she then realized something was wrong. ‘Why am I so obedient to her?’ she thought.

Seeing that Wen Ran had torn the bedsheet into strips, Qiu Shui had a rough idea of Wen Ran’s plan. She pouted. “I thought you had some spectacular idea, but I’m sorry to say that this is just a waste of effort. Even if you did that, the bedsheet isn’t long enough.”

Wen Ran kept quiet. She tied the cloth strips up and tugged them hard. After making sure they were secure, she asked, “Do you have anything heavy or strong on you?”

Qiu Shui was a little confused. After thinking for a while, a pot appeared in her hand. It was separated in the middle, and it looked just like one of those yin-yang pots. “Will this do?”
