Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 165 Falling into a Coma

Upon hearing this, Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing deep worry in each other's eyes.

Before they could react, the crystals around them, which had been shimmering slightly, suddenly shone brightly, and the frequency of their shimmering increased rapidly.

The dazzling rays of light intertwined and entwined, eventually converging into an enormous vortex.

The vortex resembled the gaping maw of a ferocious beast, emanating a chilling aura.

What was even more terrifying was that a series of low roars kept emanating from the vortex, a sound that seemed to come from the depths of the deepest hell, deafeningly loud.

Each roar seemed to carry endless anger and killing intent, as if some extremely terrifying being was gradually awakening within it.

Wen Xingyu gritted her teeth and shouted, "No matter what, we have to get out of here first!" The others nodded nervously.

Immediately, everyone turned and ran wildly in the direction away from the vortex.

However, the vortex seemed to have its own consciousness and slowly moved towards them.

The ground beneath their feet began to shake violently, as if an earthquake had occurred, and they nearly fell several times.

At this critical moment, Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan seemed to be pulled by an invisible and enormous force, their bodies involuntarily flying rapidly towards the mysterious vortex.

"Ah! Sister Yuechu... save me!" Wen Xingyu screamed in terror, her voice echoing in the air, filled with despair and fear.

Xu Yan, standing nearby, was equally panicked, and even her cries for help seemed somewhat ineffective.

Huan Yuechu stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding before her in disbelief.

Her heart leaped into her throat as she watched helplessly as Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan were swept into the bottomless vortex like two fallen leaves, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Huan Yuechu was filled with anxiety and anger. Her breathing became rapid, and her chest heaved violently.

However, her strong will to survive made her quickly calm down after a brief hesitation.

She took a deep breath, forcibly stopping her urge to run away, and resolutely turned around to face the terrifying vortex.

"What are you? Release my friend!"

At the beginning of the month, with eyes wide open, he shouted at the top of his lungs at the vortex.

Her voice echoed in the empty space, but received no response.

Instead, a more ferocious and piercing roar came from inside the vortex, as if in response to Huan Yuechu's provocation.

After an unknown amount of time, when Wen Xingyu slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar place.

She composed herself, looked around, and was pleasantly surprised to see Xu Yan lying quietly beside her.

Without thinking twice, Wen Xingyu quickly reached out and gently shook Xu Yan's shoulders, urgently calling out, "Brother Xu, wake up! Wake up!"

However, no matter how hard Wen Xingyu tried, Xu Yan kept her eyes tightly closed and showed no signs of waking up.

Desperate, Wen Xingyu gritted her teeth and decided to take some extreme measures.

She raised her hand and slapped Xu Yan hard across the face, muttering, "Brother Xu, please don't blame me!"

With a sharp "smack," Xu Yan suddenly opened her eyes, revealing five clearly visible finger marks on her face.

He looked blank at first, as if he had not yet fully recovered from his coma.

Immediately afterwards, a burning pain on his face made him realize what had just happened.

Just as the two were looking at each other, Wen Xingyu suddenly noticed a building that looked very old not far ahead.

The building stood there all alone, surrounded by a faint glow, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel.

A thought struck her, and she grabbed Xu Yan and ran in that direction. As they rushed into the building, the vortex lingered outside for a few moments, seemingly blocked by some force and unable to get closer.

A mysterious fragrance permeated the building, and strange symbols were carved all over the walls.

Before they could examine it closely, a melodious tune began to play.

As the music played, the surrounding scenery began to change, revealing some unfamiliar yet beautiful images, like scenes from another world.

Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan clung to each other, watching everything with a mixture of wariness and curiosity, wondering what awaited them.

As the music faded, the unfamiliar yet beautiful scenery around them froze, transforming into a real landscape that enveloped them.

Wen Xingyu carefully reached out and touched the crystal-clear flower in front of her, feeling a slight coolness on her fingertips.

At that moment, an ethereal voice rang in their ears: "Welcome to the Dreamland, outsiders."

The two were startled and looked around but couldn't see anyone. Xu Yan asked in a low voice, "Where exactly is this place?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a path made of light appeared in front of him.

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Xingyu decided to continue along the path.

As they walked, they saw a group of people dressed in white floating in the air, each with a happy smile on their face.

Further on, a silver lake appears, its surface reflecting their past, present, and a blurry image of the future.

Just as they were watching intently, the calm lake surface suddenly rippled, and a huge white bird burst out of the lake, its wingspan reaching tens of meters.

The bird spoke in human language: "If you wish to leave, you must find the Key to the Heart and open the gate to return." After saying this, it disappeared.

Left with no other choice, Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan embarked on an unknown journey to find the Key to the Heart.

Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan began to explore this strange place.

They walked along the lake and found some stones that shimmered slightly, with tiny patterns carved on them.

Xu Yan picked up a stone and examined it closely. Suddenly, the patterns on the stone lit up, and a beam of light shot into the distance.

The two followed the direction of the light and came to a grove of trees.

The trees in the forest were all crystal clear, and it seemed as if liquid was flowing inside their trunks.

Here, they encountered a creature that looked like a little elf.

The little fairy circled around them and said, "If you want to find the Key to the Heart, you must first unlock the secret of the tree." Then it flew away.

Wen Xingyu tried to touch the tree trunk, and in an instant, countless memories flooded into her mind, all about the people and things she cherished most deep in her heart.

She suddenly realized that the key to her heart was right there in her own heart.

She looked at Xu Yan and noticed that Xu Yan also seemed to have realized something.

The two calmed down and recalled their memories of how different they had been from this world.

Meanwhile, Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu suddenly fell into a coma without warning, as if they had been under a spell.
