Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 216 The Ferocious-Looking Water Snake

Everyone turned around in astonishment and discovered that the once indestructible barrier was now glowing!

Faced with such a sudden change, everyone panicked and had no idea how to deal with it.

Although Huan Yuechu's physical condition was still very bad at this time, so weak that she could hardly stand up.

But with her unwavering belief and tenacious perseverance, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to walk to the original location of the barrier.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and began to carefully observe her surroundings, trying to find some clues or a breakthrough.

After a long while, everyone waited anxiously.

Finally, Huan Yuechu's beautiful, crescent-shaped eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if some significant discovery was brewing in her mind.

She stretched out her slender hand, pointed to the top of the seemingly indestructible barrier, and spoke in a voice as gentle as a breeze brushing against the strings of a zither.

"Look, there are some ancient and mysterious runes faintly flickering on it..."

Although her voice was very soft and delicate, as if she were afraid of disturbing some sleeping giant.

But everyone present heard and understood those words clearly.

Upon hearing Huan Yuechu's words, the people who had been looking around quickly gathered around, craning their necks.

They fixed their gaze on the faintly glowing runes.

Their eyes were filled with both deep doubt and boundless anticipation, like travelers who had been walking in the desert for many days suddenly catching sight of an oasis in the distance.

At this moment, Mu Yang could no longer contain his curiosity and asked loudly, "Miss Yuechu, could it be that you have already figured out the secrets contained in these runes?"

However, Huan Yuechu did not respond immediately to the person's urgent inquiry.

At this moment, she was completely immersed in studying the runes, her beautiful eyes fixed on them without blinking, her whole being like a fine sculpture, motionless.

She seemed to want to use her keen insight and extraordinary wisdom to penetrate the fog on the surface of these runes and reveal the great secret hidden behind them.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely heavy, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone unconsciously held their breath, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Huan Yuechu, who was deep in thought.

Just when everyone thought that this long wait would continue...

No one expected that Huan Yuechu, who had been silent all along, would suddenly close his eyes and begin to quietly recall certain things.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, she slowly opened her eyes.

Then he carefully took out a crystal-clear pendant from his pocket.

This pendant exudes a faint, warm luster, making it clear at a glance that it is no ordinary object.

At this moment, Huan Yuechu looked at the pendant in her hand and murmured to herself.

"Could it be... that this place is somehow connected to Xiaobao's father?"

She gently raised her hand and carefully placed the exquisite pendant close to the seemingly indestructible barrier in front of her.

Just as the two were about to touch, something unexpected happened—the pendant suddenly emitted a soft and mysterious light.

The light was like twinkling stars in the night sky, dazzling yet gentle.

It echoes the ancient and intricate runes on the barrier, as if there is some kind of tacit understanding between them.

As the light grew stronger, the once incredibly solid barrier gradually dissipated into nothingness, like melting ice and snow.

Everyone present was both surprised and delighted to see this.

But they dared not delay, and quickly stepped forward to support Huan Yuechu, whose body was slightly weak, and escorted her to walk quickly toward the spiritual spring.

When Huan Yuechu gently approached the spring water that exuded a faint spiritual aura, a magical phenomenon occurred once again.

The once calm, mirror-like surface of the water began to ripple with warm waves, like the gentle ripples caused by a spring breeze across a lake.

At the same time, a powerful life force seemed to be summoned, quickly penetrating her body through her delicate skin.

The others standing to the side looked around warily, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

Among them, Yu Chen clenched his fists tightly, his gaze never leaving Huan Yuechu for even a second.

His heart was in his throat, and he was anxiously watching every subtle change.

Huan Yuechu took a deep breath, then carefully lifted one foot and gently stepped into the crystal-clear, shimmering spring water.

In an instant, she felt a warm and gentle force, like a babbling brook in the mountains, slowly seeping into her limbs and bones.

This unprecedented and wonderful feeling gradually eased her nerves, which had been tense and worried.

It felt like a huge boulder that had been weighing on my heart for a long time had finally been removed, and I felt completely relaxed and at ease.

Unbeknownst to her, a long-lost smile quietly appeared on her beautiful and refined face.

However, good times are always fleeting.

Just a short while later, the once calm surface of the spiritual spring suddenly began to churn violently.

A series of extremely strange fluctuations kept emerging, as if some terrifying monster was hiding underwater and about to break out of its cocoon.

These fluctuations resembled ferocious, fanged water snakes leaping out from the deepest hell.

They writhed and twisted their slippery, contorted bodies wildly in the spring, creating nauseating splashes and whirlpools.

Each water snake exudes an extremely cold and eerie aura, sending chills down one's spine with just a glance.

Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere around the entire spiritual spring instantly became gloomy and terrifying.

The once crystal-clear spring water has now become murky, with a strange black mist covering the surface, and faint, low roars can be heard coming from the bottom of the water.

The air around us seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, condensing into a thick haze that weighed heavily on people's hearts, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Each breath felt like breaking through a thick barrier, difficult and slow, as if the whole world had frozen in that moment.

Suddenly, a chilling, eerie wind howled in like a ghost, its sharp, piercing sound like the wailing and screaming of countless wronged souls.

The wind was incredibly fierce, bringing a chill that penetrated to the bone, making people shiver uncontrollably.
