Chapter 367: Chapter 367: It’s Damn Good to be Alive (Seven Updates)_1

At this moment, Zhao’er was dressed in an expensive women’s outfit, her hair tied back in a youthful ponytail. Such attire and temperament would bring any man to his knees, willing to lick her shoes.

However, Zhao’er’s face did not bear the usual indifferent smile. Instead, it was replaced with a coldness that could extinguish all things, as if everything in the eyes of the world were no more than dust to her!

"What’s wrong? You just said you thought that girl group’s singing was quite pleasant. What did they do to annoy you? I’ll have them apologize to you."

The Empress’s mouth hinted at a smile as she turned to look at the six young and beautiful girls huddled in the corner, all of whom were terrified, some even with tear-stained faces and their makeup smeared.

Before the Empress could speak again, Zhao’er’s figure blurred, transforming into a swift shadow that flitted by.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the Empress dashed after her just as quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao’er and the Empress were standing by the seaside, with the Empress blocking Zhao’er’s path.

"I don’t have time to fight with you," Zhao’er said, "Yun is in danger, I have to save him."

"Go save him?" the Empress laughed derisively. "Do you realize that we are currently standing on Yamato’s territory? It’s a half-day’s run from here to Yuhang. Are you sure by the time you get there, you won’t be collecting his corpse?"

Zhao’er did not speak. She slowly turned and looked in the direction of southwest and then closed her eyes. She was sensing something.

Zhao’er...

Zhao’er?

In a daze, you feel someone touching your cheek. As you open your eyes, you are surprised to find that Xian Qianling has once again swum down from above. She grabs your hand and frantically swims toward the surface.

It’s a struggle for her!

After she’s pulled you up a dozen meters, her whole body suddenly convulses, and bubbles escape from her mouth.

Yet she perseveres!

And you can see clearly that the water surface is still at least ten meters away!

No way!

Xian Qianling can’t hold on any longer!

You quickly let go of her hand, telling her to swim up by herself.

As soon as Xian Qianling reached the surface and took a deep breath of air, she plunged back down with determination!

By now, bubbles are constantly escaping from your mouth. You finally know how painful it feels to drown.

Xian Qianling, like a mermaid, dives down to embrace you, sinking with you, and she lowers her head to kiss you.

"Mmm!"

She’s passing air to you.

This crazy woman must have watched too many idol dramas. The oxygen we breathe is in our lungs. What she’s passing to you is carbon dioxide!

After that, Xian Qianling grabs you again and desperately swims upwards.

This time she is successful. When she pulls you up to the surface, she immediately starts coughing non-stop, as if trying to cough up her lungs.

After surfacing, your first instinct is to look around, but a more dire situation arises—you’re also trapped in an enclosed space!

"What’s happening? Why is there no way out here either!"

Xian Qianling pulls you to shore, out of breath, her first move is to search for an exit, only to find that the escape route has collapsed too!

"Don’t panic yet, sit down and rest for a while."

You lean against the rock wall, taking deep breaths of air.

Xian Qianling searches again, but still finds nothing. It’s very dark around; she can only feel her way with her hands, and ends up accidentally touching you.

"Still can’t find it. Are we destined to die here?" Xian Qianling sighs softly, and then leans completely into your embrace.

"Hmm?"

"What’s wrong?" Hearing your surprised voice, Xian Qianling asks.

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"The sound of water."

Xian Qianling said in an exasperated tone, "We’re at the edge of a pool, of course there’s the sound of water."

"You foolish woman, if the pool has no ripples, where would the sound of water come from? Besides, that’s the sound of flowing water!"

For the first time, Xian Qianling didn’t get angry over being called a "foolish woman"; instead, she calmed down and listened closely to the noises around her.

"Eh? There really is a sound."

As if having found a lifeline, Xian Qianling stood up excitedly and fumbled her way toward the source of the sound.

"There’s a hole here! The water is flowing out from this hole."

You immediately asked, "How big is the hole?"

"I’ll feel around."

In this place where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, what you needed most was a light source, but now your body was controlled by toxins, and moving your fingers caused you unbearable pain, let alone controlling talismans.

"It should be big enough to crawl through."

With that, Xian Qianling crawled in, and after a dozen seconds, she popped out again and said to you, "The hole slopes upwards, and because water flows through it all year round, the rock walls are quite slippery, and I even felt some leaves!"

"Leaves?" Your spirits lifted upon hearing this, and you said immediately, "Quick, climb out and ask for help from the people outside."

Xian Qianling paused for a few seconds, then fumbled her way back to you.

"Why aren’t you leaving?"

As you asked, you suddenly heard the rustling sound of someone undressing.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Xian Qianling still didn’t speak. She placed the clothes she had taken off on the ground, then dragged you onto them and wrapped your back with the outer garment.

Then, Xian Qianling went into the water again, and when she came ashore, you could clearly hear her teeth chattering!

"Crazy Woman, what kind of madness is this now?"

Your provoking words failed yet again, as Xian Qianling actually found the rope that had bound you earlier, threaded it under your armpits, wound it around twice, and then tied a firm knot at your chest.

Although you couldn’t see what Xian Qianling was doing, anyone with a bit of sense could guess that the Crazy Woman was up to some foolishness again.

"I’m saying, for us, the best plan is for you to go out first, then let someone come down to rescue me," you said.

To your surprise, Xian Qianling answered earnestly, "No, you’re too unstable right now, I can’t be at ease."

As she spoke, Xian Qianling actually started dragging you.

"Hey, hey, don’t tell me you’re planning on dragging me up like this?"

"You’re a grown man, why all this useless chatter! Complaining and whining like a woman!"

Her scolding left you truly without a retort.

Xian Qianling climbed very slowly. Just as she said, the rock wall was slippery; you could have gone up easily, but with her dragging you, every step was a struggle.

Moreover, over just a few meters, she had already slipped and fallen twice.

You couldn’t see her situation, just felt heavy and uncomfortable in your heart.

Inch by inch, meter by meter!

You had no idea how long it took, but suddenly you heard the sound of water!

The murmuring of water!

"It’s a stream, the sound of a stream!"

Xian Qianling heard it too, and immediately gasped for air as she shouted out.

After about ten minutes, you finally made it out!

Xian Qianling climbed out first, then slowly dragged you out bit by bit. When she pulled you onto some grass to the side, both of you lay down under the starry sky together.

At that moment, you both had only one feeling.

"Being alive..."

"Is just freaking wonderful!"
