Bian Qiaoqiao leaped into the lake to escape. The moment she fell into the water, countless lake fish came to bite. She cried out, "My life is over," bound and unable to move, seeing herself surrounded by fish with no means left.
Amidst the chaos, she suddenly felt the ropes slightly loosen. The floral ropes were woven from the roots and stems of flowering plants. The red fish residing in Dongran Lake had an omnivorous diet, eating plants, insects, and carrion alike.
Gnawing on the floral ropes also fit their diet.
She wriggled her wrists, sending out Inner Qi, and the floral ropes on her wrists gradually loosened.
Silently, she performed the "Nine Heavens Stepping Cloud Skill" from Daoxuan Mountain. Her toes pointed and stepped, swimming swiftly in the water. The red fish chased her but did not harm her skin, only biting at the floral ropes entangling her.
She was unaware of the trick involved.
