Her steps halted in front of the shrine!
Knowing full well the seriousness of her actions, Xiang Anning realized she couldn't bear the consequences of such a move!
At that moment, footsteps approached from a distance.
Hesitant and unsure, Xiang Anning swiftly slipped into the shrine.
Huahai Village was different from the deserted island she had once secluded herself on. Although the village was home to mermaids, it resembled other human farming communities, with modest furniture, electricity, and typical televisions. Having lights was not unusual.
However, the shrine's lights were off, and it was pitch dark inside. Xiang Anning dared not turn on the lights, fearing the glow might draw residents' attention.
She navigated through the darkness to the back of the shrine's wooden platform!
Unable to see anything, Xiang Anning had to rely solely on her intuition, and soon, she felt the iron cage!
Unfortunately, she didn't have a key to the iron cage.
