Lilly's spiritual consciousness clung to the small ghost beast, but her body was still not fully recovered.
She still had a vacant expression, and her eyes lacked life, which caused the small ghost beast to panic.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. "Be quiet..."
The small ghost beast froze for a moment.
It's the voice of the young master. Is she awake?
Squeak! The small ghost beast happily squirmed.
Lilly's eyes flickered as her consciousness finally returned. In an instant, the surrounding sounds also entered her ears. She heard the squeaking sound of the small ghost beast.
"Squeak. Why did you come?" She raised her hand and brought the small ghost beast over, holding it in her arms.
She gently stroked its fur. Even though the small ghost beast was a "ghost" in the pond, its fur still floated with the water.
Lilly grabbed its head, causing its two eyes to peek out from its fur.
"Squeak! Squeak!" The small ghost beast gestured.
Unfortunately, only a short little paw could be seen as its fur floated.
"Thank you."
Lilly felt as if she had just woken up from a dream. She almost couldn't wake up, but the small ghost beast bumped into her and woke her up.
Perhaps without it, she would eventually have been able to break free. However, it might have taken a very long time. She would definitely miss going home for Christmas, and her grandmother would worry.
"But why did you bump into my butt?" She found it amusing.
The small ghost beast gestured. "Squeak!"
Although she didn't know exactly what it was saying, she could roughly understand.
It meant that it originally wanted to bump into her waist but was afraid of hurting her.
Bumping into her hands or feet would cause them to float in the water, which wouldn't be very effective.
Meanwhile, bumping into her head was not an option. What if it accidentally injured her head?
Therefore, it had no choice but to bump into her butt.
Lilly pondered for a moment and said affirmatively, "You're right."
The small ghost beast instantly became happy. It rubbed its head against her hand, actively seeking a pat.
After patting it a few times, Lilly placed it on her shoulder.
"We have to continue."
She didn't expect to be delayed here for so long. This "nightmare" was truly terrifying.
However, it was just like a dream. Things that were difficult and incomprehensible in dreams often turned out to be insignificant problems upon waking up.
There was no absolute good or evil. As long as one acted according to their own conscience and did not violate commonly accepted morals and boundaries, there was no need to worry about what others did.
