Chapter 25

Shi Ran suddenly opened her eyes wide!

Mei Ruoxue nervously asked beside her, "Who, who came?"

This is the third time!!! Shi Ran fiercely pinched herself, "Hiss... it hurts!" It wasn't a dream—what was it? A bug? Did she transmigrate again? Transmigrate into a loop? She turned her head to look at Mei Ruoxue.

No way! Still that icy female lead!

Mei Ruoxue was startled by Shi Ran's gaze, silently shifted away, keeping two steps between them, anxiously asking, "Junior sister, junior sister, say something!"

Mei Ruoxue's movement woke the drowsy Feng Shuangyu, and they gathered around. Xiao Muchu calmly took out the Chengqing Feng...

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Shi Ran hurriedly intervened, her words spitting out like popping beans: "Are you going to make me smell this Chengqing Feng and then fan it wildly?"

Xiao Muchu immediately halted his action, looked at the opened Chengqing Feng in his hand, then at Shi Ran, wondering how she knew his little habit.

"You! And you! Are you trying to say I drank pear blossom wine again, that's why I'm acting drunk?" Shi Ran pointed at Luo Changfeng.

Luo Changfeng blankly nodded, then shook his head—he had wanted to say something, but the phrase suddenly popped into his head, feeling compelled to say it, yet seeing Shi Ran energetic, not like she'd drunk too much, he swallowed his words.

"Good!" Shi Ran took a deep breath, then began her first speech: "Everyone, listen to me—although you may not believe it, fate has trapped us in a loop, beginning each time when I smell the Chengqing Feng, ending when we all die, then starting over again!"

"What are you talking about!" Feng Shuangyu and Xue stared blankly. They looked at Shi Ran as if she were telling Arabian Nights.

"Junior sister, did you have a nightmare?" Mei Ruoxue acted as an NPC, asking on everyone's behalf.

"Not a nightmare! Ah, how do I say it? What should I do?" Shi Ran, frantic, grabbed her hair, then suddenly saw the night watchman Gu Yusheng, pointed at him excitedly: "He's about to say something's coming!"

"Something's coming!" the night watchman Gu Yusheng echoed word for word.

"Then he'll suddenly draw the Zhuyue Sword!" Gu Yusheng cooperated perfectly, abruptly drawing the Zhuyue Sword.

"Saying in a slightly trembling voice, everyone be careful!"

Gu Yusheng's voice slightly trembled: "Everyone..... be careful!"

"As if he's very afraid!" Shi Ran randomly added a phrase.

Gu Yusheng immediately protested: "When have I been afraid? Which of your eyes saw me afraid?"

Shi Ran stuck out her tongue: "Ah! So you can hear me! Luckily I didn't say anything bad—ah, back to the point—my meaning is, this seems like a loop bug; I've just woken up for the third time!"

The two were bickering, meanwhile Emperor Jiang had already rolled over, several people were listening to Shi Ran speak, only Qie Chengshuang impatiently dismissed it: "Whatever, just get it over with! Dragging feet!"

He flicked his Yinhun, like a wandering silver snake, originally full of confidence, but upon looking up, he was dazed—what does "finished off then restart" mean? Facing such an ancient divine beast, not killing it would be strange!

"Second senior brother!" Shi Ran saw Qie Chengshuang rush out alone, could only shout: "Come back quickly! You'll be the first to die!"

Qie Chengshuang, with a large hole burned by flowing fire! (/＼) I really have to thank you!

"Qie junior brother!" Seeing Qie Chengshuang burned, Luo Changfeng rushed out holding Poyun, Shi Ran failed to stop him again!

"Go! Fight it to the end!" Xiao Muchu and Gu Yusheng, while entangled with Emperor Jiang, escorted Mei Ruoxue and Shi Ran: "Head north, don't look back, the master is there!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ran's eyes flashed, she suddenly grabbed Mei Ruoxue and ran south, her mind fixed on one thought: north has the master, absolutely do not go north!

"Junior sister, if what you say is true!" Mei Ruoxue, while fleeing desperately with Shi Ran, pondered their situation: "We're trapped in a death loop, there must be a medium!"

Just as activating a formation needs a formation eye, such a loop must have a medium or mechanism interfering with them—once found, they can break free!

"What is the medium?" Shi Ran roughly understood Mei Ruoxue's meaning, but couldn't figure out what could trap them in a loop—was it Emperor Jiang? They can't beat him! Or the falling snow? But that's already over!

Or the master? Impossible—the master wouldn't turn into a final boss, how would he save them?

"I don't know! But from now on, only you can rely on!" Mei Ruoxue stopped, the plump Emperor Jiang behind her already catching up: "Because we have no memories, only if you find the medium can we wake from this endless nightmare!"

Mei Ruoxue smiled faintly: "Go on, that Emperor Jiang behind—senior sister will kill it for you to drink as a snack!"

What drink? She passes out after two cups!

But Shi Ran said nothing, she bit her lip, turned first—no matter, we'll meet again! This is just a small loop, we'll definitely get out!

South is the gate of Mengmeng Sect—perhaps escaping this gate escapes the endless nightmare. Shi Ran ran fast, this time unharmed, like a lively rabbit darting through the woods, in a blink she reached the gate—just as Shi Ran thought she could escape to heaven.

The gate suddenly ignited, the path ahead became a sea of fire. Shi Ran turned back—her master and Emperor Jiang stood on the Longyin Sword, wind lifting his hair, carrying endless tenderness, yet she dared not kiss his icy face.

"Why! Master! Why exactly!" Shi Ran finally voiced her question.

Lingxiao remained silent, merely pointed a finger—wind, snow, and Emperor Jiang all rushed toward Shi Ran; her last sight remained Lingxiao's eyes, brighter than stars!

Meow!

Shi Ran snapped her eyes open—she felt a bit hysterical, this was the fourth time, wuwuwu, she's done, she wants to go home!

Mei Ruoxue leaned in to say something, but Shi Ran blocked her lips: "Don't speak, baby, let me think!"

This time Shi Ran decided to start with Qie Chengshuang, then...

Fifth time opening her eyes, Shi Ran decided to try Luo Changfeng this time.

Sixth time opening her eyes, Mei Ruoxue.

Seventh time, Gu Yusheng.

Eighth time, Shi Ran had lost all passion, she pointed at Xiao Muchu: "Third senior brother, it's your turn this time!"

Xiao Muchu froze, the lid of the Chengqing Feng not yet pried open, Shi Ran weakly asked: "What is this?"

"Chengqing Feng! Given by my grandmaster uncle!"

Grandmaster uncle! Shi Ran sprang up, perfectly fine—how did the grandmaster uncle know to give medicine to Xiao Muchu?!

Or is the medicine inherently problematic?

Shi Ran's gaze was too intense; Xiao Muchu silently hid the Chengqing Feng in his bosom.
