Chapter 131 Encountering an Ambush
"You've only just started learning martial arts, and you actually dare to follow me to venture into that dangerous place? Your courage has grown considerably! Listen to me, stay here and wait for my message. You absolutely cannot go now!" Yun Juan interrupted Bai Yulan's pleading words without hesitation.
Yun Juan was well aware of what Bai Yulan was thinking, but only she knew that if she relied solely on her spatial power, even if she encountered danger, she might still have a chance to escape.
However, if you bring the white magnolia along, the chances of successfully escaping danger will become extremely slim!
Moreover, in this world she now inhabits, the matter of her possessing a mysterious space must be kept strictly confidential. She must not even let her most trusted subordinates know about it!
Because the more people who know about this matter, the more potential risks and crises one will face.
After all, human nature is unpredictable, and she really couldn't easily test or challenge the so-called bottom line of human nature!
Bai Yulan stared at her master's extremely serious face, knowing that no matter how much she pleaded, it would be to no avail. So she had no choice but to shut her mouth in frustration and stop talking.
Yun Juan keenly noticed the deep disappointment on Bai Yulan's face, and her heart softened. She gently reached out and pinched Bai Yulan's rosy cheek, softly comforting her, "Alright! Don't look so dejected. As long as you diligently practice your martial arts, when you've achieved some proficiency, I'll definitely take you with me if there's anything important to do! So for now, you must practice diligently!"
That said, Yun Juan had always been very interested in this kind of magical light-body skill from ancient times.
Back in the bustling, technologically advanced 21st century, she had never witnessed such exquisite craftsmanship firsthand!
Upon arriving in this wondrous world, Yun Juan was astonished to discover that the people here could actually cultivate martial arts, including the light-body skills that are widely practiced in modern times.
This sight left her speechless. After all, in the technologically advanced and prosperous 21st century where she originally lived, although she had heard legends about lightness skills, she had never actually witnessed such a magical ability.
For Yun Quan, having such a rare opportunity to learn and master this captivating lightness skill would be a dream come true!
Despite now having Gouzi, a mysterious partner capable of instant teleportation, she still finds it hard to suppress the urge to try light-body skills, which countless people in the 21st century have longed to experience firsthand.
After seeing Bai Yulan off, Yun Juan couldn't wait to find Gou Zi and ask him for a gorgeous Dark Night Cat Girl cosplay outfit.
This outfit is exquisitely crafted, with a black base accented by purple embellishments that shimmer with a mysterious light, making it truly unique.
Especially the eye mask with lace trim; once she put it on, it not only added a touch of mystery but also made her already pretty and lovely face even more charming.
Yun Juan happily put on the cosplay outfit and stood in front of the mirror to carefully examine herself.
The person in the mirror stood tall and graceful, her chest slightly puffed out, exuding a confident and youthful charm.
She nodded slightly, clearly very satisfied with her graceful figure—the curves were in all the right places, everything was just right, as if this cosplay outfit was tailor-made for her.
Taking advantage of the pitch-black night, Yun Juan tiptoed over the towering and imposing outer wall of the Prime Minister's residence with the agility of a cat.
Her figure flashed by in the moonlight, seemingly blending into the darkness.
Based on the detailed address provided by Bai Yulan, Yun Juan did not hesitate to use her teleportation technique.
A faint light flashed, and she vanished like a ghost, speeding towards her destination.
Meanwhile, An Yi, who had been hiding on a tree branch, was intently observing the movements around him.
He was completely unaware that Yun Juan had quietly left, and was still thinking to himself, "It's quite unexpected that the Princess Consort is retiring so early today."
When Yun Quan finally arrived at the mysterious house on the outskirts of the city, the surroundings were deathly silent, and not even a wisp of wind could be heard.
This eerie silence made Yun Juan's heart leap into her throat, and a nameless fear began to spread through her heart.
"Do you think I'm going to die here today? Why does my right eyelid keep twitching?" Yun Juan muttered softly as she carefully moved forward.
Just then, a boastful voice suddenly rang in Yun Quan's ears: "Haha, what are you afraid of? With me here—the handsome, dashing, and debonair Lord Gou Zi—even if you unfortunately fall into the hands of the enemy, I will definitely rescue you unharmed!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Juan couldn't help but roll her eyes and retorted irritably, "With your crippled body, you're no match for me! Just don't end up causing more trouble than helping!"
After saying that, she ignored the self-righteous Gouzi and continued to warily survey the house, which was full of unknown dangers.
As Yun Juan had predicted, this seemingly ordinary house actually concealed many secrets and hidden countless traps and mechanisms.
Just as Yun Juan cautiously stepped into the heavy door, only a step away, something unexpected happened—a volley of incredibly sharp arrows suddenly shot out from beneath her feet!
These arrows flew like lightning, carrying a deadly threat.
Fortunately, Yun Juan reacted quickly, nimbly dodging to the side and narrowly avoiding the sudden attack.
However, as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. Just as she was dodging the arrows, an unintentional movement triggered the mysterious runes on the wall next to her.
In an instant, flames shot into the sky, and the raging fire instantly engulfed the surrounding space, as if it would burn everything to ashes.
"Hmph, watch closely, and see how I, your master, will show off my skills!" Gouzi shouted fearlessly upon seeing this, and then charged headlong into the surging flames without hesitation.
Despite its small size, Gouzi was unleashing an astonishingly powerful force at this moment.
Although Gouzi has no physical form, Yun Quan can see its existence!
This power surged continuously from its body, like a torrent, and forcefully suppressed the raging fire for the time being.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Yun Juan dared not delay for a moment. She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and mustered her courage to continue advancing deeper into the house.
But just then, the situation became critical again. A slight noise came from all around, and then a group of dark figures emerged silently from all directions like ghosts.
These shadowy figures moved like the wind, moving with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, they had already closed in on Yun Quan and Gou Zi.
Even more bizarrely, because they are shrouded in a thick black mist, people cannot see their true faces at all, and can only vaguely see their blurry outlines.
Faced with so many enemies of unknown origin, Yun Quan felt a tightness in her chest and involuntarily clenched her fists, focusing intently on preparing for battle.
At the same time, Gouzi was not idle either. It used its unique spiritual power to form a solid shield around Yun Juan, doing its best to help her resist the enemies attacking from behind.
