As the dark aura was about to envelop her, the scene before her eyes flickered, transporting her into a bustling marketplace, where people of all shapes and colors brushed past her, casting mocking glances and muttering things that she couldn't make out at all.
She noticed someone gossiping about her while pointing at her arms.
Following the direction of the pointing finger, she looked down and discovered, to her surprise, that she was holding a plump rooster.
Just then, the rooster also raised its neck, and Wen Qiao saw its brightly colored comb rapidly approaching her. On instinct, she closed her eyes as the beak was about to peck her, when suddenly, the rooster stopped and erupted into a deafening crow.
Terrified, Wen Qiao immediately let go, flinging the rooster away, but unexpectedly, she found a thin rope tied around her wrist at some point, with the other end attached to the chicken's claws. The chicken, possessing more strength than she, dragged her forward.
