Because Sang Wan had reverted to her original form, Nanli buried her under the peach tree in the government office's courtyard. She thought she wouldn't be affected, but that very night, she was caught in a nightmare.
In her dream, she seemed to be deceived by a man and gravely injured. Her body was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely. Each step she took caused her wounds to tear open, bringing excruciating pain.
Finally, she stood before the man, her voice icy: "Dare to deceive me? You're courting death."
"You are already at the end of your strength and still want to resist?" The man stood tall, exuding an aura of nobility. His clothes fluttered gently in the breeze. He sneered, lifting his sword again, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
The mist seemed to clear.
As the sword pierced her, Nanli, in immense pain, finally saw the man's face clearly.
Ye Siheng!
