That instant.
I seemed to sink into a chaotic dream.
The only sound near me was this cold yet familiar voice.
But then, in an instant, I woke.
Vigorously embracing a large piece of wood, my legs awkwardly paddled through the water.
The red lantern, though emitting a faint light, was somehow able to dimly illuminate the vast cavern.
Ahead lay a seemingly bottomless waterway.
Wherever the light reached, every whirlpool in the water miraculously disappeared.
"Did you hear a voice?" Bai Zanhe swallowed dryly.
My swimming was clumsy, but I gradually got the hang of it, feeling more adept, "I heard it. I'm not sure if I misheard, but it sounded like... someone I know."
"Come... Falling Cave Girl... come to this deity... come to this deity..."
The enchanting voice, remote and calm, came again.
Bai Zanhe looked around, "Is he... talking again?"
"Xuanjing, is that you? How did you get into Baiming Cave?"
