"Don't go near the water!?" Zhao Xixi froze.
Ruan Lan glared fiercely at Xu Lai. "Don't scare Xixi! What do you mean, 'don't go near the water'? She's on the swim team."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Zhao Xixi nodded repeatedly.
Xu Lai looked deeply into Zhao Xixi's eyes. The woman was entangled with resentful energy, placed under a shoddy curse. If she touched water, countless hands would materialize to cover her nose and mouth, suffocating her. With a snap of his fingers, the resentful energy instantly dissipated.
He said flatly, "I was able to save you this time, but you need to be more careful from now on."
Although Zhao Xixi didn't know what Xu Lai was talking about, she inexplicably felt goosebumps crawl over her skin.
"Hey, what's with all the cryptic talk? What's going on?" Ignoring their previous conflict, a deeply curious Ruan Lan couldn't help but ask.
"Someone wants to kill her. They want her to die in the water," Xu Lai said.
