Chapter 225 The Red Spirit Thread

Lin Chengtian lowered his eyes to look at the person beside him, his tone indifferent, but the corners of his mouth turned up: "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Ye Qingshuang said with relief, "It's good that you know."

Lin Chengtian didn't respond further, but instead looked at Ling Yi.

It was no secret that Ling Yi could unleash power stronger than his own cultivation level. However, Ling Yi would always get injured after each outburst. But after witnessing Ji Yanzhi's healing abilities, Lin Chengtian was relieved. Therefore, when the two teamed up this time, Lin Chengtian didn't say much.

Seeing that they had formed a good pair, Lingyi glanced at Lin Chengtian.

Lin Chengtian happened to be looking at Ling Yi. When he saw Ling Yi looking over, he nodded to reassure her.

Ling Yi withdrew her gaze and stopped looking.

The square was noisy until the merman spoke, at which point it quieted down.

"Time's up." The merman looked at everyone: "Are you all ready?"

Except for a few skilled solo players who haven't formed groups yet, most people have already formed groups.

“The two of you will hold hands,” the merman said. “I will mark you with my mark. Once the mark is on, you will be able to enter the first level.”

Upon hearing this, the teammate grasped the other's hand.

The merman raised his hand and waved, sending out spiritual threads of various colors that flew towards the crowd.

Ji Yanzhi looked up at the spiritual threads, and when he touched a red one, he moved his hand and hooked the spiritual thread, drawing it away from where it was about to fall.

The merman noticed the commotion and immediately looked towards Ji Yanzhi.

The red spirit thread fell, one end tied to Ji Yanzhi's little finger and the other end tied to Ling Yi's little finger.

Once the spiritual thread is bound, it disappears. The thread is formed from the merman's spiritual power and is a mark that does not affect movement.

Upon noticing that the merman was still watching, Ji Yanzhi looked up at him. Their eyes met, and the merman moved his lips as if to say something. However, when he saw Ji Yanzhi quickly look away to talk to the woman with her back to him, the merman ultimately said nothing or did anything, and simply looked away.

Ling Yi and Ji Yanzhi's lines are red, Bai Qingjue and Bai Jiu's lines are white, and Ye Qingshuang and Lin Chengtian's lines are black.

Once the binding threads were in place, the merman waved his arm, and the waves beneath his feet formed a door. Countless bubbles of different colors flew out of the door, heading towards the companions whose spirit threads corresponded to their respective colors.

A red bubble flew in and enveloped Ling Yi and Ji Yanzhi. At the same time, a white bubble and a black bubble flew in and enveloped Bai Jiu, Bai Qingjue, Ye Qingshuang, and Lin Chengtian, respectively.

The next moment, Bubble, carrying the wrapped-up person, flew into the door at the mermaid's feet.

...

"Boom"

A clap of thunder sounded, and soon large raindrops began to fall, quickly turning into a pattering sound.

Ling Yi opened his eyes amidst the thunder and rain. The first thing he saw was an old roof. Turning his head, he saw Ji Yanzhi.

Ji Yanzhi has not yet woken up.

Seeing Ji Yanzhi up close like this was even more striking. However, Ling Yi only glanced at him before deciding to get up and check her surroundings. But as soon as she sat up, the first thing Ling Yi saw was a golden tail.

Looking at the tail, Ling Yi's face showed a rare look of shock.

Ji Yanzhi's legs turned into mermaid tails.

The divine kingdom at sea, the golden day, the merfolk, the first realm...

The moment Ling Yi thought of all this, a bad premonition rose in her heart. She wanted to reach out and grab Ji Yanzhi, but her hand passed right through him.

"How could this be..." Ling Yi was shocked to see her hand pass through Ji Yanzhi.

How could I not be able to touch it?

Just then, Ji Yanzhi woke up.

"Ji Yanzhi..." Ling Yi called out when she saw Ji Yanzhi wake up.

"Hmm?" Ji Yanzhi looked at Ling Yi, and after seeing Ling Yi's expression, immediately asked, "What happened?"

“I’m fine.” Ling Yi pointed to her leg: “But you’re in trouble. Your leg has turned into a tail.”

A hint of surprise appeared in Ji Yanzhi's eyes. He then tried to move his tail. As soon as he did, a piercing pain shot through him. Ji Yanzhi's face turned pale and his brows furrowed.

Seeing his appearance, Ling knew he was not feeling well: "Don't move."

Ji Yanzhi didn't move again, and only spoke after the pain subsided a bit: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Ling looked at his pale face and hair soaked with cold sweat, but didn't respond. Instead, she said, "I can't touch you."

Ji Yanzhi was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly recovered and said, "It's alright."

Ling looked at him and said, "You wait here for me. I'll go out and check the situation here."

“Okay.” Ji Yanzhi nodded.

Ling ran out of bed, intending to try to open the door, but she quickly realized it was useless; she couldn't touch those things, just as she couldn't touch Ji Yanzhi.

Similarly, doors and windows couldn't stop her. Ling Yi walked straight through the door, but as she passed through, she saw a group of people wearing raincoats coming in the rain.

The group consisted of men and women, but no children. Regardless of gender, everyone had a blank expression, but as they approached the wooden house, their expressions quickly and strangely came to life, their eyes filled with longing.

Ling Yi didn't know what they craved, but she knew it was related to Ji Yanzhi.

Upon entering this place, she and Ji Yanzhi were separated. She could not touch Ji Yanzhi or anything else here, which meant that Ji Yanzhi was included in all of this. These people... could touch Ji Yanzhi.

What role does Ji Yanzhi play here, and what do these people want to do to him?

Ling Yi retreated back into the house and returned to Ji Yanzhi's side.

When Ji Yanzhi saw Ling Yi return, he was about to say something when the tightly closed door was pushed open, and a cold wind carrying rain blew in, making the already cold room even colder.

The group of people came in, took off their raincoats, placed them at the door, and then walked towards Ji Yanzhi by the bedside.

When Ji Yanzhi saw them, a surge of anger welled up inside him.

Ji Yanzhi's gaze deepened. It wasn't his emotion, but he had entered this place as that person, and it was that person's emotion. And that person...

Ji Yanzhi's gaze fell on the golden tail; it was Jin Zhou.

Of the two who entered, Ji Yanzhi became an involved player, while Ling Yi became an observer.

In Ling's eyes, the one lying there was Ji Yanzhi, the most real one. But in the eyes of those who came in, Ji Yanzhi was Jin Zhou, the mastermind behind the scheme.

In their eyes, what they saw was golden daylight.

For Ji Yanzhi, what Ling Yi saw was the truth. He became Jin Zhou, but the difference was that he could only passively endure it, and his emotions and everything else were beyond his control.

Ji Yanzhi heard himself speak: "You're here so quickly? What, did you not have enough meat from last time?"

“Xiao Zhou…” a woman said, “Don’t blame us. Blame your father. If he hadn’t cursed us, why would we have cut your flesh?”

Ji Yanzhi sneered: "Why didn't my father curse you to death?"

"You beasts, you deserve to die!"
