The moment Hua Manman was engulfed by the black crystal, her vision went dark, and her body began to plummet!
After a dizzying spell,
She snapped her eyes open.
The first thing she saw was the familiar bed canopy above her.
Her mind was blank for a moment before it clicked. 'I'm back in the palace!'
Remembering what happened before she passed out, Hua Manman immediately turned to look beside her.
The instant she turned her head, Mr. Zhu's hands shot out, clamped around her neck, and pinned her firmly to the bed.
His grip tightened as he threatened,
"Don't move!"
Hua Manman struggled to breathe.
But she didn't panic.
After all the hardships she had endured, she was no longer the little girl who would only hide in her room and weep in silence.
In this life-or-death moment, Hua Manman unleashed all her strength.
She braced her left hand on the bed, bent her right arm, and viciously slammed her elbow into Mr. Zhu's abdomen.
Mr. Zhu was clearly much weaker now.
