The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

Thinking of this, Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a hint of hostility towards Shu Wanwan. His expression turned ferocious, and he bared his teeth, glaring at Shu Wanwan as if ready to attack at any moment. He began to doubt whether Shu Wanwan was really as innocent and kind as she appeared, or whether she was hiding some unknown conspiracy.

Shu Wanwan looked at the small fish in front of her with some amusement. The fish was not even as long as her index finger. At this moment, the fish opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth and made a shrill sound, but to Shu Wanwan, the sound was like a mosquito buzzing in her ear and did not pose any threat at all.

She explained softly to the little fish, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want you to do me a favor." After that, she took out a yellow talisman from her pocket, chanted a spell, and put Xiong Qi into the yellow talisman.

Shu Wanwan's actions seemed to awaken the giant beast sleeping at the bottom of the pool. The water surface began to ripple violently, spreading outward in circles.

At this moment, there was a loud "splash" and a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out from the bottom of the water, bringing up a splash of water. When it was about to splash on Shu Wanwan, Shu Wanwan used her spiritual power to form a barrier to block the baptism of the water.

At the same time, accompanied by a strong shock wave, the originally calm water became turbulent. The poor little fish were directly flipped to the side by this powerful force and fell heavily to the ground.

Shu Wanwan looked closely and saw a huge human figure appear before her. This person was covered with moss, had strong and sturdy limbs, and his eyes revealed a sense of majesty.

The giant opened his mouth and let out a deep roar. Shu Wanwan felt a powerful aura coming towards her, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Who are you? Why are you disturbing my sweet dream?" The giant's voice echoed in the cave.

Shu Wanwan calmed herself down and looked carefully at the giant's appearance. She had seen this man before. To be more precise, his face had appeared in her mind when she was fortune-telling.

"Qian Nianjiang!?" Shu Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at the giant in front of her.

"Who is Qian Nianjiang?! Damn you for disturbing my meditation!" The giant growled, as if he had no idea who Qian Nianjiang was.

Shu Wanwan was shocked. Did he lose his memory?

"Don't you remember? Qian Zhongliang who gave you a look." Shu Wanwan tried to awaken his memory.

The giant frowned and tried to recall, but seemed to find nothing.

"I was asked by someone to look for an old friend here." Seeing the giant's expression, Shu Wanwan decided to explain her purpose first.

"What does it have to do with me that you're looking for an old friend? You've got the wrong person. I'm the river spirit here!" the giant responded coldly.

"River Spirit!" After hearing Qian Nianjiang's words, Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan were both confused. How could he be a River Spirit? They had clearly seen the real River Spirit to the west of the village today. What on earth was going on?

Shu Wanwan soon figured it out.

"You are not the real river spirit. Someone sealed the real river spirit and sealed you here as well. They told you that you are a river spirit, but you have been deceived." Shu Wanwan analyzed calmly.

A hint of surprise flashed across the giant's eyes, but he immediately regained his coolness. "Why do you say that?"

Shu Wanwan pointed at the surroundings and said, "How could a real river spirit live in such a dark and damp place? Besides, I've seen a real river spirit before, and it definitely doesn't look like you."

The giant was silent for a moment, as if pondering Shu Wanwan's words. He had long suspected this. He had been sealed in the deep pool, told he was a river spirit, but he had no idea what a river spirit was supposed to do. He could only transform the wandering ghosts in the cave into fish to protect them.

Then, his tone softened, "Maybe you have a point, but I really don't remember anything about the past."

Shu Wanwan sighed softly, "No matter who you are, I will find out the truth."

The giant stared at Shu Wanwan, "Can you help me unlock the seal?"

Shu Wanwan hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee that it will succeed."

After saying this, Shu Wanwan began to cast a spell, attempting to remove the seal from the giant. However, the seal was incredibly strong, and despite her best efforts, she could only slightly break it.

"This seal is too powerful. I need more time to prepare." Shu Wanwan wiped the sweat from her forehead.

The giant nodded in understanding. "I can wait. But I hope you'll be quick. I've been stuck here for too long."

Then she glanced in the direction of Daiyan and Baixuan. Daiyan understood, "Is there anything we can help you with?"

"Yes." Shu Wanwan nodded and took out the Soul Locking Mirror. "Dai Yan, I need to borrow the power of the Soul Locking Mirror."

"Okay." Then Dai Yan turned into a puff of red smoke, returned to the mirror, and merged into one with the Soul-Locking Mirror.

"Please, Soul Locking Mirror." This was Shu Wanwan's first time using the Soul Locking Mirror's power, and she wasn't sure if it would work. She concentrated her energy, channeling her mana into the Soul Locking Mirror. The mirror shone with a strange light, shooting towards the giant.

The giant felt the power of the light and his body trembled slightly.

As time passed, the light grew stronger and stronger, and the seal finally began to loosen.

"Try harder!" Shu Wanwan encouraged.

Just then, an accident happened.

A mysterious force suddenly emerged, interrupting Shu Wanwan's spell.

The giant's eyes became confused and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

"What's going on?" Dai Yan exclaimed.

Shu Wanwan's face was solemn, "Someone doesn't want us to break the seal..."

Shu Wanwan concentrated all her energy and tried to resist this mysterious force, but it was too strong and she gradually felt powerless.

"Stop! You will get hurt!" roared the giant.

Shu Wanwan gritted her teeth and insisted, "No! I must unseal you!"

At this time, the mysterious power became more and more violent. Shu Wanwan vomited blood and her body was shaking.

"That's enough! Don't force it anymore!" the giant shouted anxiously.

Shu Wanwan ignored him and, using her last bit of strength, threw the Soul-Locking Mirror. The Soul-Locking Mirror spun rapidly in the air, emitting a dazzling light, engaging in a fierce battle with the mysterious force...

At this time, a man in a black robe appeared behind Bai Xuan and Shu Wanwan. The giant looked at the man in the black robe and shouted, "Be careful, behind you!!"

Without waiting for Shu Wanwan to turn around, the black-robed figure raised his hand and injected a stream of black energy into her body. Shu Wanwan felt a powerful force coursing through her body, and she clutched her chest in pain. The black-robed figure sneered as he watched Shu Wanwan gradually collapse.

The giant roared, but was bound by the seal and could not move.

Seeing this, Bai Xuan immediately stood in front of Shu Wanwan and confronted the man in black robes. "Who are you? Why are you hurting her?"
