"You mean it's okay to put the child in this pool?" Xie Yuhua deliberately said this to the child, but the child didn't say anything more.

The young man walked up to the hot spring at some point and threw something into it. Instantly, a strange smell wafted over, like the smell of something burning or some kind of chemical, making people nauseous.

The water in the hot spring pool began to churn, with strings of bubbles rising to the surface, making a "glug-glug" sound. As the bubbles increased, the entire hot spring pool was shrouded in a thick layer of white mist, obscuring the view inside.

He glanced back at A Ning, the deep meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

With anger in his eyes, Jieyuhua swiftly picked up the dragon-patterned staff and swung it fiercely at Aning. His movements were sharp and decisive, as if he wanted nothing more than to tear Aning to pieces.

“I have always followed the Xie family’s teachings, but I am honored that you are the first and only one I have made an exception for.”

As his words fell, the dragon-patterned staff traced an arc through the air, hurtling towards A Ning with tremendous force. A Ning's expression changed, and she hurriedly dodged to the side, but the staff still grazed her shoulder, sending a sharp pain through her. The mercenary behind her immediately raised his gun, the muzzle pointing directly at Xie Yuhua.

Ah Ning gestured for them not to act rashly, then glanced at the young man's location before saying, "He's already dead, what can I do? Go after a dead man? I don't have that kind of fetish. I told you, I'm trying to help him. If there were really a problem, we wouldn't have pulled out so many corpses."

Besides, if a living person doesn't dare to go in, what are you afraid of about a dead man?"

After saying that, he ordered one of the mercenaries to throw down another corpse, which was then stirred up and dragged back up.

"Look, this person doesn't have any wounds at all, so soaking him in the water can only do him good, not bad."

As soon as Aning finished speaking, a mercenary stepped forward and began to speak to her in hushed tones. His eyes were filled with vigilance, as if he were highly alert to his surroundings.

"What?" Ah Ning frowned, a hint of doubt on her face. After hearing the mercenary's report, her expression turned serious, as if something important had happened.

"Are you sure?" she asked again, her voice low and serious.

The mercenary nodded, still holding something in his hand, his expression unusually resolute.

Ah Ning took a deep breath and gestured for him to return to his place. Then, staring intently at Ling Xiao behind Xie Yuhua, she sighed and said, "I'm sorry."

Jieyuhua didn't quite understand this woman. Just a moment ago she was insisting that everything was for the child's good, so why was she apologizing in the blink of an eye?

He frowned, pondering the reason. His gaze shifted to the hot spring, and seeing the young man shaking his head at him, he realized there was definitely something wrong with the hot spring. He tried to investigate the corpse that had been dragged out earlier, but the body was still not in its original place.

“There’s a high concentration of nitric acid in that hot spring.” Ling Xiao, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke. His voice was low and hoarse, filled with pain and unbearable grievance.

"However, at the bottom, there are some special techniques. The fragrance dispels the acidic smell on the surface, and new mercenary corpses are put in. When they are retrieved, they are already corroded. But because of the fragrance, it can cause hallucinations."
