The smile on the servant’s face froze, and she looked at her awkwardly.

“Madam gave us all a day off yesterday. The other servants in the house have already left. I’ve just packed my things and am about to leave. Why don’t you call again to confirm?”

“No need. I just called. She’s already on her way.”

Lu Miao said as she entered.

Seeing that she could not stop them, the servant could only brace herself and turn around to walk to the front to lead the way.

Entering the door, the large living room was empty. A few pairs of leather shoes were neatly placed under the shoe cabinet at the door. The entire house was filled with a strong floral fragrance.

“Please take a rest here.”The servant went to the kitchen and brought tea to the two of them.

Lu Miao glanced at her trembling hands and picked up the cup. Under her nervous gaze, she took a sip.

Seeing her drink the tea, the servant’s eyes relaxed a lot.

“Thank you. I want to go to the bathroom.”

Lu Miao walked straight to the bathroom. The servant was shocked and quickly stopped her.” Miss Lu, the bathroom on the first floor is broken and is being repaired. I’ll take you to the second floor.””

Gu Shiyan looked at Lu Miao from the side and a smile flashed across his eyes. There was clearly something wrong with this servant. She probably thought that she had concealed it very well. He did not Imow what was in the bathroom on the first floor, but he knew that Lu Miao’s original goal was to go upstairs to find the study.

He stood up quietly and followed behind.

As soon as Lu Miao reached the second floor, she saw light pink flower petals floating out from the gap of the door not far away. The petals had already covered the corridor outside the door.

A petal floated in front of her. Lu Miao stretched out her hand to catch it, but a long hand blocked her way and caught the petal.

The moment Gu Shiyan saw the petal, he immediately thought of the pink petal-shaped mark that Lu Miao had found on Gu Jinxi’s wrist last night. Then, he thought of Gu Jinxi’s disappearance early in the morning and the recent frequent disappearance cases. That brat must have been tricked.

No wonder Lu Miao was looking for someone so early in the morning. Although she was not afraid of these things, the petals were definitely not good.

The petal fell into his hand, and after a slight burn, the petal slowly disappeared, leaving a pink and white mark on his palm.

Gu Shiyan felt it carefully. Other than that, he did not feel anything else.

Lu Miao raised her hand, her slightly cold fingertips gently caressing the marks on his palm, and the remaining heat disappeared.

Only then did the servant see that Gu Shiyan had followed her up. She could not see the petals, but she saw them raising their hands inexplicably as if they were about to receive something. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Miao took two steps forward and reached out to push open the door.

The servant was shocked when she suddenly opened the door. She hurriedly went forward to stop her, but the petals that had piled up in more than half the room just happened to surge out and instantly drowned her.

She only felt as if she was submerged in a burning sea of fire, but there was nothing in her sight. She only had time to cry out in surprise before disappearing with the gradually dissipating petals.

On the wall facing the door, petals were still falling from the ancient painting hanging on it.

Ignoring these petals, it looked like an ordinary painting from the outside. In the painting was a peach blossom forest. A woman in an ancient dress stood beside the tree with a fan covering half of her face and smiled.

Beside it, there was an inscription: “The beauty’s face rivals the peach blossoms.”

In the painting, you could faintly see some spectators enjoying the flowers. Further in, there was a collection of pavilions and towers, half-hidden from view.

Lu Miao stood at the entrance and observed for a moment.

Gu Shiyan squinted, “Do you feel like the woman in the painting has gotten closer to us?”

Indeed, when they first looked, the woman was almost entirely visible. At this moment, her lower legs were already outside the painting, and the fan in front of her face had dropped a few notches, revealing most of her smiling face.

Lu Miao nodded, “Look at the people in the peach blossom forest and the pavilions. ”

Gu Shiyan focused his gaze. The scattered crowd had dispersed even further, and a figure near the edge of the peach blossom forest became slightly clearer. They could barely make out that the person was wearing modern-style clothing!

He immediately realized, “Are those the missing people?”

“Yeah,” Lu Miao confirmed.

Gu Shiyan asked straightforwardly, “Should we cut the painting open?”

Lu Miao shook her head, “If we cut it, they’ll be trapped in the painting forever.”

She already knew what this was.

As they spoke, a gray mist began to rise from the peach blossom forest in the painting, and those blurry figures were all engulfed by it.

The woman in the foreground was now only visible from the waist up, with the fan completely lowered. She gazed at them with a sinister smile.

The beautiful peach blossom maiden had transformed into something eerie and horrifying.

Lu Miao turned to Gu Shiyan and reached out her hand. She didn’t say much, and Gu Shiyan didn’t ask questions either. He grasped her hand without hesitation, and together they entered the door, stepping into the swirling petals. 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘯𝑜𝓋𝘦𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝓂

After a moment of dizziness, they found themselves in the midst of the peach forest. Soft earth lay beneath their feet, and the rich fragrance of flowers filled their noses. In the mist, they could vaguely see a few figures.

“Hold onto me tightly, no matter what you see or hear, don’t let go.”

Lu Miao turned and led him forward. The mist grew denser, as if it were solidifying. The surrounding peach trees gradually disappeared from view, and even Lu Miao’s figure ahead of him slowly became blurry until it was entirely invisible.

Gu Shiyan telt the hand he was holding turn as cold as ice, unlike a human hand. A bone-chilling coldness radiated from the place where their palms were joined, causing his hand to ache.

A hand suddenly patted his shoulder from behind. Then, a familiar voice whispered in his ear,” Don’t make a sound. The person you’re holding is not human.””

A warm and soft hand grabbed the other hand beside him, and a sharp dagger was stuffed into his hand.

“I’ll count to three later. You use this dagger to cut off that hand and run with me. Remember, don’t turn back.”

After saying that, she released her hand and held his shoulder from behind, signaling him to be at ease.

“One, two…”

Gu Shiyan slowly raised the dagger towards the hand in front of him. As he finished speaking, he turned around suddenly and stabbed the dagger in his hand fiercely into the chest of the person behind him.

Warm blood instantly spurted out from the place where the dagger had pierced through, staining his hand sticky and splattering on his body and face.

Lu Miao’s beautiful and cold face was as pale as a sheet of paper. Her beautiful eyes were wide open as she looked at him in disbelief. Her slender body staggered a few steps and then fell in front of him with a thud.

Gu Shiyan’s pupils constricted, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground..
