Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart Chapter 441 - 440: Help, There’s a Ghost

"Huanhuan, I heard you. I’ll prepare to fly back now."

After saying this, she ward up, getting ready to depart.

Behind her was a small pond, with a few big trees planted at its edges. It was silent and pitch black, not even the sound of frogs could be heard. She stood on a bridge; this place was rarely visited, so it was better to leave quickly.

A road and a bridge separated the green pond from Yanming Lake. The road was about three to four ters wide, leading to the arch bridge.

There were several houses around, but their lights were not turned on, leaving everything in darkness.

In the darkness, at the edge of the green pond, a pair of round and protruding eerie large eyes stared straight at the girl in the soft red silk gauze dress, moving gently, floating upwards.

Finally, the entire figure lightly climbed onto the pond’s edge. Its face was unlike a monkey’s, with large round eyes, a long pointed mouth, small sharp teeth, moving soundlessly.

Its tail was very short, its whole body wet, its gaze never leaving the girl.

This bizarre creature, resembling a monkey yet not, seed to be waiting for the right mont.

In this eerie environnt, Ye Zhi’s ears were even more sensitive. She sensed sothing unusual behind her and didn’t dare to turn back. Thoughts of legends and various versions of ghost stories surged into her mind, making her scream involuntarily, shouting, "Help, there’s a ghost!"

Despite shouting, the girl was adept; she leaped into the air and flew towards the opposite shore of the lake.

Unexpectedly.

The bizarre creature, neither like a monkey nor unlike, seed provoked, it jumped up, let out a shrill scream, its slender forelimbs, much like human arms, grabbed the girl’s foot and dragged her towards Yanming Lake.

The event happened suddenly.

In the darkness, even though Ye Zhi was skilled in swimming, she was caught off guard when the creature grabbed her ankle, dragging her underwater. A large amount of lake water rushed into her mouth and nose, choking her, causing imnse discomfort.

Simultaneously, the fear in her heart left her flustered, her cries sounding like woo~ woo~ as she sought help in the water.

The creature dragged the girl, swimming towards the bottom of the lake at great speed.

Suddenly, a boy grabbed the girl’s hand, a silver shining dagger aid at the bizarre creature.

The curved dagger was extrely sharp, and combined with the boy’s strength, it pierced through the creature’s rib area, causing it pain. It released the girl’s ankle and retreated to the depths of the lake, ceasing its harassnt.

Due to the injury, blood continued to flow, slightly spreading in the direction it swam away.

Shen Chen pulled the girl upwards. The girl he pulled did not struggle, nor did she show any reaction, seeming to have fainted.

He furrowed his brows, increased his pace, and swam upwards.

Soon, he brought her to shore.

"Ah Zhi, Ah Zhi, how are you, wake up, can you hear ? Please respond."

Shen Chen brought her to the edge of a dark forest, moved her to a more open area, lightly patted the girl’s fair, tender cheeks. She seed to be asleep, giving no response.

He recalled the rescue thods for drowning victims he read in books, saying, "Ah Zhi, excuse ," then placed his hands, one over the other, slightly above her abdon, pressing down.

The girl, under pressure, expelled the water blocking her mouth and nose; after several rounds, most of the water was out.

However, she showed no signs of waking.

The situation was urgent. Shen Chen leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, giving her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The girl’s lips were very soft~

Through the rescue, Ye Zhi’s consciousness gradually began to recover. In her dazed state, she felt sothing on her lips.
