Falling from such a height must have been painful. But why did her body feel as light as a feather?
"Luo..." Ivina murmured as she slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you usually so careless, Witch Gra?"
The fleeting glimpse of gold in her eyes made her widen her eyes, but then her long lashes drooped again, tinged with a hint of disappointment.
"Pu Jiao, why are you here?"
"Um, same as always. I'm here to discuss matters related to the Underworld. I just happened to pass by and saw you standing by the window, so…" Pujeao gave an awkward smile. He remained as gentle as ever, seemingly accustomed to Ivina's lack of politeness.
"I have something to do, so... I mean, the reason I didn't use the front door is because..." It was just making things worse. Ivina's face turned red when she lied, and she couldn't breathe properly.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't ask any questions. I guess that's just how Gra witches are, always so peculiar and cute." Pu Jieao leaned his handsome face toward Ivina in his arms and winked his left eye charmingly.
"Thank you…" Ivina felt grateful.
The man before her was indeed different from the arrogant vampire she had first met. Perhaps she had misunderstood him from the start.
"Then, can you put me down here?" Pu Jieao had already accompanied her for a while, and coincidentally, that was the direction of the prison.
"I'm afraid not. As a gentleman, I can't abandon an injured young lady on such a desolate path." With a smile, Pu Jieao held the petite Ivina in a more comfortable position.
Injured? Ivina instinctively twisted her right ankle, and sure enough, a sharp pain shot through her.
Ivina furrowed her brows and groaned softly.
"Don't move around. I'm casting a spell to heal your wound as soon as possible. Otherwise, no one can stand Luo's sour face."
"Luo?"
"His face is like a weather forecast, and the source of the storm naturally comes from you." Pu Jieao smiled gently.
"Me?"
Besides hurting her and punishing her, would he ever be emotionally affected by her? Would he even get angry for her sake?
Pu Jieao gently set Ivina down and looked into her eyes seriously.
"Are you and Duke Dandel in love?" His expression was serious, not joking.
"In love? No, how could that be..." Ivina awkwardly lowered her head. She didn't understand why Pu Jieao suddenly asked that.
"So, at least, you don't have any feelings for Duke Dandel, right? Can I... dare to guess that?"
"Um..." Ivina's mind was in turmoil, caught off guard by the question. "I'm sorry, I've never thought about that..."
She fidgeted with her fingers, and their conversation came to a halt.
"I'm very sorry for making you uncomfortable. Just a few more steps and you'll reach your destination. Since we're on a time limit, let's hurry inside and get things done." Pu Jiao spoke softly, his golden hair gently swaying in the breeze.
Ivina obediently took a few steps forward. Suddenly, a terrifying prison palace slowly emerged from the swamp gas.
"You… how did you know I was going here?"
Pu Jiao smiled without answering, pointing to the talisman tied to Ivina's waist.
Ah, she had been too careless, hanging the talisman Vasha had given her so conspicuously.
Ivina was at a loss for words for a moment, but she steeled herself and walked into the gloomy dungeon.
The process went smoothly, and the vampire guarding the dungeon did not give her a hard time. However, as she approached the end of the left corridor, Ivina's expression grew serious.
What could she say to Xia Sang if they met?
Pushing open the heavy old door, Ivina saw an ugly vampire pushing the iron door at the same time.
That hideous face was truly terrifying. Ivina looked at him warily.
"Hey, what a beautiful woman! I'm still in the mood for some fun. Want to join me?" The man grabbed Ivina's slender arm.
"Who are you?! Let go of me!" She struggled desperately, but it was useless. She could see that ugly face getting closer to her chest.
Help! Luo…
Ivina silently prayed in her heart, unable to resist the assault.
