Time passed, every second and every minute. Jewel felt as if she was going through countless nightmares. In the end, when she woke up, she felt the skin of her entire body and face was in burning pain.
'Did I die?'
Jewel opened her eyes and saw her entire body was soaked in the icy cold river water. Jewel was stunned and sad. Next, she was shocked when she saw her reflection in the water.
She saw her exquisite, beautiful face had turned pitch black like black ink. She looked extremely ugly.
At that moment, Jewel felt utterly hopeless.
'Since I would not live much longer, instead of staying alive for Zhang Jue to use me for elixir production, why don't I die now?'
When she thought of that, Jewel was about to knock her head on the stone chest to commit suicide.
Bang!
However, before Jewel could knock her head on the chest, she felt indescribable energy had covered her. Next, a stunning shadow appeared in front of her eyes.
A person dressed in a light purple long dress had appeared. Her facial features were exceptionally beautiful, and her body figure was alluring. She looked as if she had walked out of a painting. She had an undeniable aura throughout her body.
That was someone she had not met for a while; she was Diaochan.
"Diaochan—" Jewel bit her lips; she was in shock when she saw Diaochan. "Miss Diaochan? Why did you save me?"
Diaochan had stayed with the Carter family for a period. Of course, she knew Jewel.
"Are you Miss Jewel?" Diaochan was surprised.
At that moment, Jewel's face was almost completely destroyed. However, Diaochan still recognized her when she heard her voice.
Diaochan asked when she saw Jewel nodding her head. "Jewel, what happened?"
