Pale arms grasped the key, and Chunniang, with no regard for Gao Ming, eagerly used it to unlock the golden lock.
The sounds of waves and water flow arose within the room, and Chunniang's lower half, transforming into a giant fish, began to twist and deform. The stench was overwhelming, scales flying around, especially frightening.
"My lower half recovers slowly when it comes into contact with water. Mr. Tang will soon take notice of me here. You should come with me soon." Chunniang, somewhat honorable, did not seek revenge for kindness, and prepared to take Gao Ming with her as they escaped.
"Which way?"
"The well in the backyard—the only place Mr. Tang overlooks. Only I can lead you out from there." Chunniang's gaze was terrifying, and Gao Ming hesitated; if he jumped into the well, his life and death would be entirely at Chunniang's whim.
"What? You don't trust me?" Chunniang's facial expression was ambiguous, teasing yet mocking, showing no clear intent to save anyone.
