Moonlight shimmered on the lake, creating a shimmering effect, reflecting Yun Mengting and Chunhua's clasped hands like a mirror. Their resolute resolve freed them from fear of the impending crisis. The guards behind them, like ferocious beasts, pressed on. The aura of death lurked in the lake, a relentless countdown.

"The shore is just ahead. We must fight with all our might! We can't let them catch us!" Yun Mengting whispered to Chunhua, her eyes gleaming with the determination and courage of a reborn person. She knew that rebirth had given her the opportunity to change her fate, and she couldn't afford to be anyone else's victim again.

Like fish in water, the two swam with all their might towards the shore. The waves gently lapped their bodies, but the sense of urgency in their hearts made them breathless. Yun Mengting took a deep breath and vowed to herself, "For the sake of Ling Xuan, whom I love so deeply, I will never give up!"

Just as they were giving it their all, the roars behind them grew clearer, and the guards finally noticed their whereabouts. A tall guard leaped into the water like a lion, his face ferocious, and his approach frightening.

"Prepare to die, I will make you pay the price!" He roared coldly, his eyes full of ruthlessness, as if he saw the hope of victory.

"Chunhua, use the water plants to cover us and take the opportunity to swim to deeper places!" Yun Mengting hurriedly pointed to the dense water plants, thinking about an escape plan in her heart.

"Okay!" Chunhua's face was full of determination. She followed Yun Mengting closely. The two of them swam quickly into the water plants, hiding their breath and dealing with the dangers around them.

The water plants enveloped them like a gentle embrace, allowing them to wait breathlessly. Yun Mengting's ears echoed with the guards' angry roars. She felt a surge of anxiety, but more than that, she was determined—she couldn't let the pain of the past repeat itself, and she couldn't live with lifelong regrets about her feelings for Ling Xuan.

"We must find them!" A guard roared, causing ripples on the water. Panic and pressure were present at this moment.

Yun Mengting's heart was beating like a war drum, sensing the looming danger. "Chunhua, we must be patient a little longer, until their attention is diverted!" she whispered, silently reiterating her determination not to be arrested.

As the guards anxiously searched the lakeside, a tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the air. "They must be nearby! Don't let them escape!" the other guards urged, their voices filled with anxiety and anger.

Suddenly, a guard stopped and rushed into the water, muttering softly, "I must catch you!"

Time slipped away like an hourglass, and Yun Mengting felt the suffocating moment surge like a tide. She gritted her teeth, feeling a faint sense of despair similar to that of her past life. She silently thought, "If this continues, we will have no way to escape!"

"Yun Mengting, do you think you can escape?" The guard gradually approached, emitting a sinister aura, which made her shiver involuntarily.

"Never give up! Chunhua, get ready!" Yun Mengting shouted in a low voice, gathering all her strength, determined to face the upcoming confrontation.

At that moment, she suddenly threw a stone into the lake, causing ripples that caught the attention of the guards. Startled, they turned to search for the source of the sound. Seizing this opportunity, Yun Mengting and Chunhua quickly swam towards the shore.

"Hurry, swim up!" The determination burning in their hearts turned into fearless strength, and Yun Mengting and Chunhua swam hard towards the light on the shore.

Just as they were about to reach the shore, a chaotic roar erupted from behind them. "They're still in the water! Go and catch them!" The enraged guards pounced on them like cheetahs, the tension thickening the air.

Yun Mengting sensed impending doom, but her resolve grew even stronger. "No! I can't be a coward anymore!" She silently pictured Ling Xuan's face, and with hope and tenacity, she rushed toward the shore once more. The voices in her ears vanished, leaving only the despair burning in her heart.

Finally, Yun Mengting and Chunhua hit the slippery shore hard and tumbled rapidly. The intense friction pushed them toward the bushes, and the dim light seemed to cheer them on.

"Quick! Hide behind the tree!" Yun Mengting decisively instructed, pulling Chunhua with her to a hidden spot. She secretly formulated a new strategy in her mind; she had to prepare for the impending decisive battle.

"No matter what, we can't escape anymore." Yun Mengting said in a low but firm voice, her eyes burning as if to ignite Chunhua's heart. "We must fight for freedom, for all innocent people!"

At this moment, the prelude to the decisive battle has begun, and courage and faith blend and sublimate in their hearts. Yun Mengting gazes at the future with fiery eyes, her heart filled with unyielding fighting spirit.

"We must not let them succeed! Yun Mengting's road to rebirth has just begun!" Courage and desire rose in their hearts, and a life-and-death counterattack was instantly launched. The baptism of blood and fire was about to come!
