Chapter 148: A Narrow Escape

Tang Xi felt water entering her mouth and she became suffocated to the point where she could not breathe. She tried to grasp at anything but failed. She was overwhelmed with fear… What should she do… what should she do…? She curled up and refused to see the water, dared not even open her eyes out of the fear that as soon as she did, she would return to that sea and be blown apart.

"No…" Tang Xi attempted to hold herself in her arms but could not. She slightly opened her eyes only to see that she was surrounded by a pool of water and could do nothing. She did her best to swim upward, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't swim ashore. Smiling feebly, she thought, "It won't work… I'm already dead… How would it be possible for me to swim back?"

She relaxed her hands and closed her eyes, letting herself sink…

Everything had all been a dream. She was already dead—dead in the sea… This was a fact she could not ignore.
