Feng Ying's
122 - Lake

"Something that's been lost, can never come back. Including this guy, Chen." Said Feng Ying while staring at Luo Anming's illusion.

Wang Chen was shocked when Feng Ying called out his name for the first time after this second introduction. In fact, Feng Ying had never called out her name after this second introduction. "Y-Yin.." Mumbled.

"We'd better get out of this place. Don't want to be instigated by such cheap illusions!" Said Feng Ying indifferently.

Wang Chen, "Illusions?" He glanced towards Luo Anming who was standing beside him.

"Never hope that something that has been lost can come back again. And so are people like him. Stop hoping that the dead can come back to life." Feng Ying pointed at Luo Anming.

"But, Ying..." Wang Chen hesitated to say.

"Only you can erase the illusions you see. You just have to reject her wish and keep moving forward." Said Feng Ying.

"Chen.. Let's go.. We'll be together again." Said Luo Anming softly. He stroked Wang Chen's head.

Wang Chen lowered his head. He seems to be hoping that his father is still alive. She lifted her face and brushed Luo Anming's hand away from him, "Stop imitating my father's face. That's very disturbing. Now, in this world, there is no more.. The one who lived was named Luo Anming!"

Luo Anming retreated a few steps. He looked at Wang Chen softly, "Chen'er.. What the hell are you saying? It's me, Luo Anming, your father and I are still alive."

The irritated Wang Chen instantly pulled the sword that was on his waist. She hesitantly stabbed Luo Anming's body. "Stop bothering me!"

Luo Anming's body faded away. She disappeared with a sad expression on her face. "Chen.."

Wang Chen immediately sat on the ground. His body was fine, but his mentality was a bit shaky.

Next to Feng Ying's red eyes with a purplish-black pentagram now returned to normal in blue. Simultaneously, Wang Chen's gaze on him was no longer blurry and had now become clear. Feng Ying patted Wang Chen on the shoulder, "Never hesitate to step forward. There's no need for you to expect someone who's dead, because it's useless."

Wang Chen turned his head upwards, staring at Feng Ying's face. There was no joke at all in Feng Ying's gaze and the young man was as if he was affirming her words. He began to stand up and recoil his sword.

Wang Chen had just realized that the roof of the cave was glowing because of the light crystals. "When has this cave been bright? As I recall, this place was very dark earlier."

Feng Ying rolled her eyeballs lazily, "You who are unaware of it. From the first moment, this cave was indeed bright. You are affected by this crystal light whose light will show the illusion of someone you love is dead. Therefore, do not expect that someone who has died can come back to life."

Feng Ying walked over first, "I warn, illusions will often appear within the gates of this world. You want to stay with me or just stop here?"

"Of course I'm coming!" Wang Chen caught up with Feng Ying and walked beside her.

"If you choose to come along, don't be affected by such a lowly illusion again. If you're still affected by such a lowly illusion, then I'll leave you." Said Feng Ying.

"alright.. L'm.. Will try." Said Wang Chen. He looked at Feng Ying's face silently silently, "Without hesitation, resolute, without feeling nor mercy. How can I be a light to Ying?"

Feng Ying now realized that Wang Chen was looking at her. He looked at Wang Chen back, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something you want to ask?"

Wang Chen shook his head and threw away his face, "Who is staring at you? I was just staring at that glowing crystal crystal. Don't be so confident."

Feng Ying snorted and smiled, "He? What so? You're lying."

"T-no.. I'm not lying." Wang Chen still did not stare at Feng Ying.

Feng Ying raised next to her eyebrows and smiled mischievously. "Ha~ Looks like this pretty lady is starting to like me. You even looked at me earlier. Do you realize now that I'm so handsome, that I charm you, miss~"

Wang Chen immediately looked at Feng Ying as the young man began to say such an embarrassing thing. He gave an amused goosebump when he heard it, "Give it! Stop saying that! Don't you have any shame, huh?!"

"Ah~ Of course I have it miss~ If not, then I've 'eat you'." Feng Ying blinked one eye and smiled.

Joking Feng Ying was already too late for Wang Chen. He looked coldly at Feng Ying. He also even let out a killing intent aimed at Feng Ying. "I'm really fed up! I'm gonna kill you!"

***

A day later after that incident, Feng Ying and Wang Chen ended their fight inside the cave. Now they had reached the end of a very long cave.

It is seen when the end of the cave is very wide. There is a large lake that has clear water. There are also some shining plants attached to the cave wall.

"The lake is so beautiful." Wang Chen muttered with sparkling eyes.

"It turns out this is the lake that was said in the book. All right, we're going in there!" Said Feng Ying.

"No! My clothes will get wet!" Said Wang Chen. He shook his head.

Feng Ying glanced at Wang Chen and laughed mockingly, "So you are now afraid of water huh? You're like a cat.."

"I'm not afraid of water! And I'm not a cat!" Shouted Wang Chen.

"If you are brave, go inside. If you are a coward, yes.. You stay in this place and don't follow me. Your journey with me stops here." After saying that, Feng Ying jumped into the lake and swam inside.

"E-uh?! Why is it like that?! Not fair! Yingy! Ying!"

Wang Chen looked at the lake doubtfully. If he did not follow Feng Ying into the lake, then he would not be allowed to come with Feng Ying again. But when he noticed his body that had not yet returned to normal, Wang Chen grew doubtful.

Wang Chen thought hard. Until finally choosing to enter the lake and swim following Feng Ying.

***

After some time entering the lake, Feng Ying discovered that below looked like there was light. He swam faster and finally came out of the lake.

Inside the lake is not the surface of the land. Except the way out of the lake. Above Feng Ying was a clear sky. All around, it looks like a forest.

"I thought it would be like this. Most lakes that are in the place of mystery that I explore will be like this." Mumbled Feng Ying. He came out of the lake and looked around.

Feng Ying's clothes and body were wet with water. The young man realized something. He looked at his palms, "My body feels warm after coming out of the lake."

Feng Ying turned around and looked at the lake. He could now sense that the lake water had a thick Qi. When he entered, he did not feel it. Is it possible that it happened because of Feng Ying's current place? Karna, the place he was currently standing in had quite a thick Qi all around. Not like the lake in the cave.

Feng Ying looked at the lake for a moment. Someone started to appear and rise to the surface this time to exit the lake. "You're coming along.." Said Feng Ying.

Wang Chen began to change his position to sit down, "You forced me into the lake! So there's no other choice!" he looked at Feng Ying annoyed.

Feng Ying chuckled softly. He pointed at Wang Chen, "But because of that, you've come back to how you were."

Wang Chen frowned in confusion. He looked at his own body and was surprised that his body was back to normal. Her chest was no longer like a woman. Surprised and delighted, Wang Chen immediately jumped up and stood up. He shouted, "Aarrkk I can finally get back to how I was!"

"Thank you to me. If it wasn't for me forcing you into the lake, your condition would still be the same." Said Feng Ying proudly.

Wang Chen looked at Feng Ying, "Are you sure you know, if I go into this lake, then I'll go back to how I was?"

Feng Ying nodded. "This lake has a rather strange aroma and probably smells almost the same as the apples you ate at the time. Near the lake there are also strange plant plants that I believe as medicinal plants. So, the lake water can definitely restore your body to how it was."

Wang Chen instantly held onto both of Feng Ying's shoulders and shook her tightly. "Thank you.. Thanks though.. Thanks Ying..!!"

"Yes.. Ja.. But let go of me! You're making me dizzy!"

Wang Chen instantly released his hand from Feng Ying. He smiled and felt very happy. Unimaginable, how much pleasure Wang Chen had. It was like getting his soul back.
