Chapter 150 Doubts
"You still have some conscience!" Lu Yan muttered softly, still reluctantly withdrawing his gaze from the magnificent, enchanting, fairy-like scenery. The dreamlike beauty seemed to contain an indescribable mysterious magic that almost made him lose himself in it. However, there were more urgent matters that needed to be dealt with. So, he took a deep breath, then hurriedly ran towards the motionless figure with a quick pace.
When he finally came closer, Lu Yan could see clearly that this person was Fang Congyi. But at this moment, Fang Congyi was standing straight in the same place, without moving at all, like a lifelike and exquisite sculpture. Seeing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but frown slightly, and his originally calm face was instantly filled with a look of confusion. Then, he stared at Fang Congyi intently, and then asked: "Hey, you, a living person, are standing here like a wooden stake, what on earth are you doing? And where is Bi Yaoyao? Why can't I see her?"
However, before he could even finish his words, Lu Yan was suddenly struck by an invisible lightning bolt, his entire body frozen in place, as if time had frozen in time. His once lively eyes were now fixed, fixed on a certain point in front of him, as if he had sensed something extremely unusual.
Then, his previously calm expression suddenly changed, like a vibrant painting suddenly splattered with ink, becoming incomparably solemn. His brows furrowed tightly, forming two deep furrows. Beneath those furrowed brows, his eyes no longer revealed their usual clarity and composure, but instead were filled with astonishment and alertness.
At the same time, a layer of fine beads of sweat began to seep out of Lu Yan's forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those crystal-clear beads of sweat shimmered faintly in the sunlight, like tiny pearls inlaid on his skin. These beads of sweat accumulated more and more, soon converging into small streams that slowly flowed down his cheeks.
Because in that brief moment, Lu Yan clearly felt his mood undergo a drastic change. It felt as if a sunny, clear sky had suddenly become overcast with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, leaving him feeling an overwhelming sense of oppression and heaviness. A sense of oppression that was difficult to describe washed over him like a surging tide, enveloping him tightly and making it almost impossible to breathe. The oppression was so intense that his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.
Under this overwhelming pressure, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition. This premonition was so intense and so real that he had no time to think about anything else. The only thought in his mind was: danger is approaching!
Could it be...did something happen to Bi Yaoyao? As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Yan's heart suddenly sank, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. Anxiety and worry flashed across his eyes, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, the joints turning white from the excessive force.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Along with this crisp and gentle female voice, it was like a warm spring breeze gently blowing across the mirror-like calm lake. The tiny ripples spread out in an instant, easily breaking the original oppressive silence that made it almost suffocating.
Hearing the sound, Lu Yan suddenly raised his head as if awakened from a dream. His gaze was like a flash of lightning that streaked through the night sky, rushing towards the direction of the sound at lightning speed.
When he finally took in the scene before him, he was frozen in place, as if under a spell. A graceful woman with a beautiful face was standing not far away.
She wore a long, snow-white dress, its thin sleeves dancing gently in the breeze, like a blooming white lotus, pure and elegant; like a fairy descending from the sky, fresh and unworldly, ethereal and otherworldly. Brilliant sunlight filtered through the gaps between the layers of leaves, dappling onto her body, casting a dazzling golden glow on her already alluring figure, making her look even more otherworldly and beautiful.
Lu Yan's eyes widened to their limit, filled with astonishment and horror, as if he wanted to deeply imprint what he saw into his soul. His lips parted slightly, a slight tremor creeping from the corners of his lips, and a low, hesitant murmur escaped from his throat uncontrollably: "This is..."
With just a quick glance, Lu Yan felt as if an invisible and powerful force had bound his body tightly like a talisman, making him stunned for a moment, standing stiffly in place, like a lifeless sculpture, motionless.
His eyes, which normally appeared to be of normal size, were now wide as round as copper bells, their eyeballs practically tumbling out of their sockets in shock. Every muscle on his face was twisted and distorted with utter disbelief. His expression was so exaggerated that one might mistakenly believe he had witnessed some horrific scene beyond human imagination, a scene so horrifying it was unbelievable.
The reason was simple: the courtyard before him was filled with "Bi Yao Yao" (likely a nickname or phrase)! Some sat leisurely, some stood upright, and still others crouched casually, their postures varied and bizarre. However, the most striking thing was that each of their faces was remarkably similar, to the point of being jaw-dropping. If it weren't for the striking, dazzling figure in the center of the courtyard, even someone as familiar as Fang Congyi and Lu Yan would have found it difficult to tell them apart.
"Ayao, you are finally here!" Along with this cry filled with excitement and joy, a clear male voice suddenly sounded, like thunder out of the blue, instantly breaking the quiet atmosphere that was originally as silent as stagnant water.
