The weather has become hot, and even at night, it's still somewhat muggy. However, Ke feels quite refreshing.
Yet,
Ke keeps walking,
walks and walks,
The road she should have finished walking in a matter of moments, she somehow hasn't managed to cross.
Initially, because her mind was full of thoughts, she didn't notice anything unusual. But gradually, she realized something was wrong—why hadn't she walked out of the corridor yet?
Ke calmed herself, continued walking forward, but the corridor seemed to have mysteriously extended far, and she still couldn't walk out.
Ke felt somewhat surprised,
turned to walk back, but after walking until her legs were slightly sore, she still hadn't managed to get out.
Before marriage, she had heard from her grandmother about the phenomenon of walking in circles—once inside, there's no way to get out until dawn.
But this was Lord Pingye's residence,
Ke thought even if there were any ghosts,
they wouldn't dare act recklessly here, right?
