Chapter 52 Dragon Boat Festival Horror

Chapter 52: Dragon Boat Festival Horror

The annual Dragon Boat Festival has arrived, and the small town where Liu Yu and his friends live is bustling with activity. The aroma of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) wafts from every household, and stalls selling realgar and mugwort are everywhere on the streets.

Liu Yu said excitedly, "Today is a great day, we should celebrate it properly."

Xu Xian nodded in agreement: "Yes, I'll go buy some zongzi."

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing exchanged a glance, a hint of worry flashing in their eyes, but they said nothing.

Xu Xian soon returned with a basket of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and everyone sat down together to enjoy them.

Liu Yu picked up a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) and was about to peel it when she suddenly remembered something: "Right, let's drink some realgar wine to mark the occasion."

Xiaoqing hurriedly said, "I won't drink that stuff, it tastes weird."

Liu Yu said with a smile, "Oh, Xiao Qing, don't spoil the fun, just a little bit."

Bai Suzhen also declined, saying, "I don't really want to drink it either."

Liu Yu persisted, "How can this be? Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone should have a drink."

Left with no other choice, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing reluctantly drank a small sip of realgar wine.

Not long after, Bai Suzhen felt something was wrong with her body and felt dizzy.

She forced herself to say, "I'm not feeling well, I'll go back to my room and rest for a bit."

Liu Yu asked with concern, "Suzhen, are you alright?"

Bai Suzhen waved her hand: "It's nothing, I'm probably just a little tired."

Bai Suzhen returned to her room and had just lain down when she felt her magical power begin to spiral out of control, and her body gradually began to change.

Meanwhile, Liu Yu and the others were still outside, chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from the room.

Liu Yu was startled: "What's going on?"

Everyone rushed into the room and saw a huge white snake coiled on the bed; it was Bai Suzhen in her true form.

"Ah!" Xu Xian was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.

Liu Yu was so frightened that her legs went weak: "What, what's going on?"

Xiaoqing quickly said, "Brother-in-law, don't be afraid, this is my sister."

Liu Yu stammered, "This, how is this possible?"

Xiaoqing said anxiously, "Brother-in-law, now is not the time to explain. We need to find a way to hide my sister so that no one can find out."

Liu Yu then came to her senses and, together with Xiao Qing, tried to move the white snake.

But the white snake was too heavy for them to move.

Liu Yu was covered in sweat: "What should we do?"

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "What's going on inside?"

It turned out that the neighbor next door had heard the noise and came to check.

Liu Yu quickly came up with a quick idea and said loudly, "It's okay, it's okay, we were moving things and accidentally knocked it over."

The neighbor said with some skepticism, "Oh, then you should be careful."

After the neighbors left, Liu Yu and Xiao Qing collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

Xiaoqing said, "Brother-in-law, this can't go on. We need to get my sister back to human form as soon as possible."

Liu Yu said, "But what should we do?"

Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said, "I heard that dew can counteract the effects of realgar wine."

So Liu Yu and Xiao Qing quickly took a basin and went outside to collect dew.

But in broad daylight, dew isn't so easy to collect.

As Liu Yu ran, she complained, "What a terrible idea! It's exhausting!"

Having finally collected some dew, they quickly ran back to their room and sprinkled it on the white snake.

After a while, the white snake finally began to slowly transform back into Bai Suzhen's appearance.

After Bai Suzhen woke up, she said weakly, "Thank you."

Liu Yu wiped her sweat: "Oh dear, you scared us to death."

Xu Xian slowly woke up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bai Suzhen had returned to human form.

"You can't drink realgar wine carelessly anymore," Xiaoqing said.

Everyone nodded, still shaken.

After all this commotion, the joyous atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival has been somewhat dampened.

Just then, the system suddenly spoke: "Host, a new mission has arrived..."
