Chapter 2 Star-stealing Fate-changing

"Heroine, hero, mighty hero! We had no grudges in our past life, nor grievances in this one, please don't come after me!"

As the white-robed female drought demon slowly approached, you slumped down against the stone door, and the wound on your left arm, which had been scraped before, began to ooze thin strands of blood due to the pressure. The moment the blood touched the stone door, it swung open to the left and right with a thunderous rumble, causing you to tumble over.

Beyond the stone door was an even larger space!

It was at least as tall as a three-story building, spanning the size of two basketball courts, perfectly round. The rocky walls all around were naturally formed.

Without caring what the place was, you dashed inside.

The space was extraordinarily unique; at its center stood a platform surrounded by flowing water, which appeared to be fresh and alive.

On the platform grew a purple, peculiar plant. In this dark environment, they grew in orderly fashion, and at the top of each plant was a bud of gold, reflecting dazzling golden splendor under the light source.

In the middle of the platform was a pedestal, on which rested a Jade Coffin.

But—there was no way out!

"I'm going to die, I'm definitely going to die!"

In panic, you pulled out your phone, intending to call your mom, but the phone showed no signal!

"Cackle, cackle, cackle... You can't escape."

The female drought demon's laugh was worse than a fart!

Trapped and with nowhere to run, you hurried to the side of the coffin, and as you got closer, you felt the temperature around you drop significantly. You lightly touched the outer layer of the jade on the coffin.

So cold! You found the object exceptionally chilling.

The female drought demon hadn't followed you. She seemed to have noticed something, and her pitch-black eyes suddenly emitted a silver-green light as she spoke to you, "Kid, if you don't want to die right now, I advise you to stay away from that coffin."

Seeing that the female drought demon didn't dare to approach, you felt a little steadier and asked, "Do you think I'm stupid? If I go down there, that's the real deal. I'm telling you, why are you going after me of all people?"

"You were born in the Yin Year, Yin Month, Yin Day, and Yin Hour. Your blood can guide me on the path to reincarnation and rebirth."

"Nonsense, who would believe you!"

As you spoke, you tiptoed to peek inside the coffin, but with just one glimpse, you froze.

There was actually someone lying in the coffin, a stunning beauty beyond any words you could find to describe!

Her beauty was so breathtaking that just a few more glimpses made your heart feel like it couldn't handle the strain.

Her facial features were exquisite and unparalleled, as if they had been carefully sculpted by the hands of thousands of skilled artisans. Her body gleamed, every inch of her skin flawless like suet jade, her ample contours proudly rising, and amidst the valley, abundant with lush grass, her legs were long and her arms proportionate, all showcasing the utmost perfection of feminine charm.

However, looking at her, no inappropriate thoughts arose in your mind; she was like a flawless piece of art, a true goddess, to be admired from afar.

She was just too beautiful, and you couldn't help but take a few more glances, your heart thumping and almost jumping out of your throat.

After a great effort to regain your composure, when you turned back to look at the female drought demon, you were horrified to see that all the golden buds around had blossomed, and from within each, a golden snake with wings slowly emerged.

You were surrounded!

The entire platform was filled with golden-winged snakes, and as they flapped their wings together, you could feel vibrations in the air around you!

"Kid, get out of there!" The female drought demon was startled and quickly retreated.

Although these creatures looked only as big as a finger, you didn't doubt their attacking power or their venom; it was one thing for you to fear them, but why did the ghost fear them too?

Of course, one shouldn't trust the words of a ghost, even a three-year-old knew that.

Compared to the repulsive sight of the hanged ghost, you'd much rather stay by the side of this stunning sleeping beauty.

Even in her panic, the female drought demon clearly coveted your blood and suddenly lunged at you as she retreated!

In mid-air, she extended her tongue at you; the one-meter long tongue stretched even further, managing to wrap around your neck over a distance of several meters!

The toad-like disgusting tongue wrapped around your neck, and as you frantically tried to tear it off, it not only felt revolting but also moved! The tip of the tongue even made a bend to try and pierce your ear!

In a life-or-death moment, driven by the desire to survive and rage, you grabbed the tip of the female drought demon's tongue and pulled out your lighter, holding the tongue tip to the flame!

"Ahh—"

The female drought demon let out a piercing shriek, and her tongue retracted instantly. You hurriedly crawled behind the coffin, and at that moment your phone alarm went off. You checked your phone and saw there was only one minute to 7 p.m.!

No matter what, you took out a Star Stealing Life-changing Talisman from your pocket and lit it with the lighter!

As the talisman caught fire, you heard the female drought demon let out an even more desperate scream than before. As you turned your head, you were shocked!

Dozens of golden snakes surrounded the female drought demon, and some pounced on her to tear her apart, her body slowly being consumed into nothingness as she screamed hysterically!

After the female drought demon vanished, the golden snakes flew towards you.

The golden snakes were drawing closer, and you instinctively pressed yourself against the coffin.

As the Star Stealing Life-changing Talisman in your hand burned down to its last bit of star fire, the talisman's ashes suddenly danced in the air and converged into an Odd Curse Mark that you couldn't understand. Immediately after, the seal transformed into a black light that entered your left eye!

"Cackle! Cackle!"

At that moment, you were conscious, but your body was beyond your control, making strange noises as you trembled violently!

"Ah!!"

After the trembling came a wild howl!

You felt every cell in your body burning and roaring with rage!

Amidst the roaring, you spat a mouthful of blood towards the coffin, and the moment it touched the coffin, it quickly merged into it, shattering the seemingly multi-layered transparent coffin. As it shattered, it also turned into a mist that dispersed into the air and was gradually inhaled into your lungs amidst your raging howls.

Having lost your balance, you collapsed on top of her, your lips touching her icy-cold skin. As the blood from your mouth touched her skin, it instantly merged into her without a trace!

Your consciousness grew dim and dissipated, and you slumped down beside the female corpse.

You had no idea how much time had passed, but when you opened your heavy eyelids, you were alarmed to find the female corpse lying beside you, your noses even touching each other!
