Qu Hongling took the elixir and regulated her injuries, her gaze curiously examining the statue.
After so many years, the statue hadn't gathered much dust and was well-preserved, especially those eyes which were crafted so vividly, they seemed empty yet deep, as if imbued with a magic force.
Qu Hongling was momentarily entranced, staring blankly.
Ran Qingchen searched for a long time but couldn't find any mechanisms, the battering on the stone door outside had already ceased.
She sat down helplessly beside Qu Hongling and said, "I can't find it."
Qu Hongling did not respond.
"What are you looking at?"
Noticing the abnormal expression of the girl lost in thought, Ran Qingchen grew curious and followed her gaze towards the serpent-tailed goddess statue, locking eyes with it.
At that moment, Ran Qingchen too felt as if she were deeply attracted by some magic force.
