Chapter 34: Chapter 34 I Just Have a Problem

Turning around, she saw a woman in ancient attire at the end of the corridor, tilting her head with a smile before walking away.

Xu Xueyan frowned. Nowadays, ancient styles are quite popular, and you can always see one or two girls dressed in traditional clothes on the street.

But who wears ancient clothes to a bar? It’s so out of place!

Xu Xueyan didn’t think much of it and proceeded to the restroom, used the toilet, and washed her hands.

She looked up at her reflection in the mirror, her face blurred, eyes weary.

Suddenly, she shivered.

The woman in ancient attire on the corridor just now looked exactly like the one in her father’s study painting...

A fear rose from deep within her soul, making her tremble all over.

She quickly washed her hands to leave, only to find the restroom’s space continuously stretching forward, the stairs beneath her feet twisting, countless mirrors reflecting her disheveled form.

"Is anyone there, help me..." Xu Xueyan wanted to shout, but her throat felt choked, unable to produce any sound, she could only scream in her heart.

Suddenly, a chill enveloped her head, as if someone was leaning on her shoulder, breathing cold air onto her neck.

Having just used the bathroom, Xu Xueyan was now so frightened she almost wet herself, legs clamped tightly, body trembling.

"Stealing my man... hehe..."

"Such nerve, daring to steal my man!"

The voice of a woman came from above, coquettish, full of allure, airy and ethereal, accompanied by a heavy floral scent.

Xu Xueyan’s mind went blank, yet she still summoned the courage to respond.

"I-I didn’t steal your man... I don’t even have a boyfriend."

"But my man adores you! I want to take you away, I still need someone to fetch water..."

Despite being terrified, Xu Xueyan couldn’t help but internally scoff at how outdated fetching water was; so inefficient!

A fleeting moment of distraction, and from the corner of her eye, she noticed a small figure.

Standing in the corner ahead, head tilted, with a clear childish voice, "Not leaving yet? Are you going to be a water-fetching maid?"

Xu Xueyan nodded frantically, "Yes, yes."

The little figure had a face identical to Yun Qi’s, but less lively, a red paper figurine, with roughly cut edges.

The paper figurine walked like a marionette, unnaturally.

Yet Xu Xueyan clung to it like a drowning person grasping at a lifeline, following closely behind.

The restroom space, already infinitely elongated and twisted, stretched in every direction.

The little paper person seemed to know the way well, taking quick and light steps.

Xu Xueyan followed closely, watching the paper figure’s back, tears glistening in her eyes.

"You cheeky girl, daring to steal my man!"

The woman’s alluring voice suddenly turned low and sinister, a fierce wind blew in.

The little paper figure turned its head, its voice childlike, "What skill is there in bullying a paper figure? If you have the guts, come out and fight me."

The fierce wind swirled upward, avoiding the paper figure.

"I won’t fight you; I have claimed this family’s lives."

"You can only take what I give; if I don’t give, no one can take it." The paper figure’s voice was firm, but as soon as the words fell, it burst into blazing flames, turning instantly into a pile of ashes.

Xu Xueyan was stunned, don’t leave, you just finished making threats!

Before her eyes, a bright light appeared suddenly. Looking up, she found she had made it to the restroom door.

Someone outside pushed the door open, seeing Xu Xueyan hunched and bent over like a shrimp, staring at the floor.

They mumbled softly, "Is this person sick?"

Suddenly hearing the voice of a normal person, Xu Xueyan burst into tears of excitement, lunging to embrace the stranger in front of her.

"Yes, I’m sick, I’m really sick."

Only someone sick would ignore the Yun Family girl’s advice.

Now that I realize my mistake, is it too late?
