As Song Juan reached the bank of the Ying River, a black figure suddenly dashed out like lightning and grabbed Song Juan by the waist. "Quick! Hold onto Mrs. Song tightly!" the shadow yelled at the figure while racing towards Song Juan. Who is Song Juan? She was the future mother-in-law of their young master! She couldn’t suffer any mishaps! No need for the shadow to say more; Quick didn’t dare to let go. If Song Juan died under his watch, wouldn’t the young master make him pay with his life? However, Song Juan was not in her right mind, and her body was possessed. Her strength was incredibly strong, which made Quick want to hold her tight but fear hurting her. The frenzied Song Juan grabbed and bit Quick repeatedly. Quick, bitten on the wrist, was momentarily pained, and Song Juan exploited the opportunity to break free. In the next moment, Song Juan leaped and fell into the Ying River. Xia Mian rushed forward but couldn’t grab Song Juan’s hand. Without any hesitation, Xia Mian also jumped in. Song Juan couldn’t swim, and the water in the Ying River was fast-flowing, deep and turbulent. Song Juan was definitely facing a life-threatening situation! Once in the river, the icy river water surged in from all directions. Xia Mian was an excellent swimmer and had once played as a champion swimmer while completing tasks in the Three Thousand Worlds, bringing glory to the nation. Except, the Ying River today was different from ever before. Not only was water swirling around, but it seemed like invisible hands were pulling at her legs. Impatient to rescue Song Juan, Xia Mian waved her hand and released several sealing symbols towards her feet. It seemed something underwater let out a scream, and Xia Mian’s leg then felt free. No time to argue with a few dark spirits, Xia Mian swam towards Song Juan. Song Juan couldn’t swim, losing her stability in the water, flailing continuously. Underwater, it felt like countless water plants entangled her legs, dragging her down continuously. Song Juan choked on a lot of water, and her foggy mind gradually became clear at this moment. Unfortunately, even if she regained clarity, she was helpless about her current predicament. Unable to swim, she could only watch herself sink further below. Water covered her vision completely, and just when Song Juan thought she couldn’t hold on any longer and was about to sink to the riverbed, a noose was suddenly tightened around her neck from behind. "Mom, hang in there, I’ll get you up!" Xia Mian said as she pulled Song Juan. Song Juan did not speak; now, her whole body was drained of strength, feeling like her body was no longer hers. Xia Mian towed Song Juan towards the shore, while on the overpass, a man watched through binoculars as Xia Mian neared the shore, his gaze growing sharp and icy. "Trying to escape?" The man spat fiercely at the ground, "There’s no way!" Having trapped Xia Mian here was no small feat; if he couldn’t eliminate her smoothly, how could he let go of the anger caused by her nearly killing Shen Man? The man formed seals with both hands, pointing faintly towards the sky. Thunder erupted, crashing directly towards Xia Mian submerged in the water. Now, Xia Mian was in the water and had nowhere to hide from the lightning. She heard the noise, looked up at the sky, and before she had a chance to react, Lu Zechuan had already leaped down with a splash. Xia Mian’s expression immediately changed! What was Lu Zechuan doing? Was he coming to die?! Just as Xia Mian thought this, the lightning suddenly veered, striking towards Lu Zechuan! Indeed, this guy relied on his own unlucky disposition to draw the attack away from her?! What a meddling fool! Worried Lu Zechuan might be struck dead, Xia Mian quickly paddled through the water, freeing a hand to form seals. Fortunately, before the lightning struck down, the seals Xia Mian formed stopped it successfully. And Sha took advantage of the gap to pull Lu Zechuan back onto the shore. Their young master’s life was as precious as gold and couldn’t be recklessly lost here! Xia Mian also pulled Song Juan up onto the shore successfully. Song Juan, having choked on a lot of water while not fully conscious, was dragged up by Xia Mian, but her condition remained dire—face pale and breath barely audible. Xia Mian wasted no time in performing CPR on Song Juan. Once Song Juan coughed up the dirty water she swallowed and her heartbeat resumed, Xia Mian finally sat helplessly on the ground, breathing a sigh of relief. Thankfully, nothing serious had happened; she had finally rescued Song Juan. Having jumped into the water to save someone, Xia Mian’s clothes were soaked through. Lu Zechuan’s gaze shifted slightly, and Ying and Quick astutely took off their jackets, handed them to Lu Zechuan and then tactfully disappeared with Sha. Lu Zechuan draped Quick’s coat over Xia Mian and Ying’s coat over Song Juan. Song Juan was rescued by Xia Mian and gradually came around, opening her eyes to see Xia Mian’s pale face. Emotions of guilt immediately surfaced in Song Juan’s eyes, "Mianmian..." She had burdened her Mianmian again. Xia Mian pressed her hand against Song Juan’s lips and smiled at her, "It’s all right now; let’s go home." Saying this, Xia Mian helped Song Juan to stand up. Lu Zechuan walked ahead, avoiding looking at the mother and daughter’s bedraggled appearance. Xia Mian silently supported Song Juan into the car before finally turning around. The river breeze blew her wet locks as her gaze cut across the vast river surface and landed on a black speck atop the overpass. In the next moment, she raised her hand and pointed lightly at the black speck. The man atop the overpass seemed to sense something, and his heart rate suddenly accelerated, instinctively crouching down. Just as he bent down, a large seagull swooped past overhead, its sharp claws gripping the man’s hair and tearing a large patch of scalp as it passed. Writhing in pain, the man covered his scalp, feeling the sticky touch, his hand instantly dyed red by blood. The man’s eyes gradually widened, an incredulous look in them. "How is this possible?!" he gasped, crouched with heavy breaths. Xia Mian was merely an eighteen-year-old girl, not only adept at Taoist Techniques but also capable of Beast Taming! Opposite the Ying River, Xia Mian slowly lowered her finger, a mischievous smile curling her lips as she silently mouthed, "This is just interest paid back." Living anew, she cared most about two people: one was Song Juan and the other was Lu Zechuan, who had saved her life in her past life. Coincidentally, that man had tried to harm the two people she cared most about on the same day! Despite the distance over the Ying River, the man’s ear distinctly heard Xia Mian’s words. Once again, his pupils widened, his hair standing on end. This girl—how terrifying could she be? The man dared not linger any longer, but after all, he had successfully obtained a drop of Lu Zechuan’s blood today. As long as he could sustain Shen Man’s life, everything he did today would be worth it! Back then, he had wronged Shen Man’s mother, causing Shen Man’s biological mother to leave heartbroken. Now, he couldn’t stand idly by watching Shen Man die.
