41 A Kiss at the Flower Pond

The water in the pool covered the entrance of the cave, melting away the last trace of the dragon's poison, completely swallowing up the faint light, and the faint temperature gradually faded away. The body was shaken by the swaying water in the pool, and the only sound in the ears was the dull sound of waves hitting the cliff.

The poisonous water seeped into the unhealed wound, and the blood was licked by the water, as if thousands of silver needles were piercing the skin.

I don’t know how many times I was cut by the sharp edges of the stone on the cave wall, but no, still no.

The dragon had intended to trap them to death from the very beginning.

There can't be any passage here.

"Master..." Xie Hanjing's call seemed to come from far away.

Hua Lang then realized that she had become the only one left in the vast darkness.

She subconsciously took a few steps forward following the sound, but was soon pushed back against the wall by the current.

Although she knew that Xie Hanjing was not far away, the dark cave and the water that reached her neck still made her feel extremely lonely and scared.

After she dies, the System Department might be kind enough to send her back to the 21st century.

In the memory, the cold and arrogant parents gradually overlapped with the figures of King Luo Yun and Princess Luo Yun in the dream.

Even if I can't go back, it doesn't seem to matter...

Suddenly, an embrace as cold as the lake water embraced her and took away her hesitation.

It was Xie Hanjing. I don’t know how he found me.

There were so many unhealed wounds on his body that even when he was soaking in the pool of water, Hua Lang could still smell the strong smell of blood.

Hua Lang thought slowly, this was the last time she and the hero would see each other. He was a celestial fox, and if he didn't take her with him, he should be able to escape the same way...

If she had the chance to return to the 21st century, she would delete the comment she left under "Xian Dao".

Everyone in this book exists and is not just a piece of paper.

Yan Rong, who was mentioned briefly and criticized for her sloppy design, has invisible pain and despair.

Xie Hanjing, who held a high position in Zhongzhou, also stopped in front of the stall because he was short of money.

And Qinglai's senior sisters and brothers...

There are so many things...that are not in the book.

Xie Hanjing's arms were almost strangling Hua Lang tightly, as if he was afraid that Hua Lang would not speak.

In the deep silence, he finally learned to soften his voice. It was no longer cold, but echoed in the classroom like running water. "Master, what are you thinking about?"

Hua Lang moved his fingertips, but ultimately did not push Xie Hanjing away.

It was like there was a half-open door. If she exerted a little force, all those thoughts that she wanted to hide but also reveal would be laid out before her eyes.

"Go ahead, you still have a chance to get out."

After saying that, Hua Lang waited quietly for him to withdraw his hand.

But Xie Hanjing not only did not leave, he lowered his head and rested his chin lightly on her shoulder.

The sudden weight startled Hua Lang.

"Disciple will never leave... I won't leave you here alone."

"Master, don't be afraid..."

A faint spiritual energy gradually overflowed and surrounded Hua Lang. Before she could understand the situation, spiritual energy more violent than the pool water poured out from Xie Hanjing's body.

Hua Lang raised his head and immediately realized what he was going to do.

He wants to self-destruct!

Hua Lang suddenly broke away from Xie Hanjing, turned around, pinched his hand fiercely, and shouted, "What are you doing?!"

Xie Hanjing's voice was as faint as a thread in the wind, but it felt like a heavy hammer hitting Hua Lang's heart. With a heavy breath, he said something without a beginning or an end, "Master... if only dreams were real... it would be great."

As the blood flowed out in strands of golden threads, the majestic "spirit" illuminated the cave, and under the power to give birth to all things, the long-dried water hyacinth broke open its seed shell in the dark!

The golden light meandered in the black water, spreading out rapidly around the two of them. The scene was dreamy and shocking!

With the help of this star-like light, Hua Lang finally saw Xie Hanjing's face, saw those eyes, and the deep meaning in them...

The overwhelming shock was like a torrent breaking through a dam. Hua Lang, with trembling hands, slapped Xie Hanjing hard, almost knocking his head off!

Hua Lang said word by word, "Why do you think I accepted you as my disciple?!"

Xie Han was stunned by the blow, and red marks immediately appeared on his pale face. But after hearing Hua Lang's words, he fumbled and pulled Hua Lang up again, "Master..."

Hua Lang was annoyed at the sound of his voice. She interrupted him and continued coldly, "I accepted you as my disciple because I hope that one day you can stand at the highest point in Zhongzhou, not because I want you to self-destruct to save me!"

"This cave is located in the mountains. Do you think you, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, can really blow it open? Take back your spiritual energy. If you don't even listen to me, then our relationship as master and disciple will end sooner rather than later!"

Hearing this, Xie Han suddenly clasped Hua Lang's hand tightly in shock. He did this subconsciously, as if he had done it countless times before. But now, seeing Hua Lang's attitude, he came back to his senses and could only say in panic, "Master, don't..."

Hua Lang pushed him away and tried to turn around and leave, only to find that the densely packed, blooming water hyacinths had tightly surrounded them both, with their thin, white, and weak roots tightly wrapped around her legs, making her unable to move for a moment.

Xie Hanjing took the opportunity to pull her hand again.

But before he could catch his breath, the water lilies in the pond began to tremble violently, as if the stone chamber was about to explode!

Hua Lang's breathing became rapid, and Xie Hanjing pulled her back into his arms with force, then quickly rolled to the side!

With a "plop" sound.

The two fell into the water in an instant. Hua Lang choked on the water and subconsciously tried to struggle, but Xie Hanjing used his body as a cage to hold her down tightly.

Soon, they sank to the bottom of the dark pool together.

Before Hua Lang's eyes was the dark purple water hyacinth that they had brought into the water together. In the blink of an eye, the water hyacinth was swept away, and its long, inky hair swaying in the water floated between the two of them. A face like a mermaid in a painting approached Hua Lang, and a soft touch that was extremely different from, yet very similar to, the water covered Hua Lang's lips...

Xie Han was shocked!

Hua Lang tightly grasped his flesh, but Xie Hanjing still did not let her go. He forced his breath into Hua Lang's mouth...

I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like a moment and also like a long time…

Until a huge shaking forced the two apart, Xie Hanjing held tightly onto the protruding rocks on the ground, always using his body to cover Hua Lang.

An extremely sharp sword energy arrived first, and then the mountain suddenly collapsed. A loud noise split the sky, and the sound waves almost crushed everything into powder. The cliff trembled and collapsed!

The water in the pool rushed out suddenly, almost taking the two of them away!

Hua Lang was hugged tightly by Xie Hanjing. The originally soft and shapeless water turned into a rolling stone, pressing violently over the two of them.

The collapse of mountains and the drying up of ponds are the sounds of everything roaring and snarling!

During this violent turmoil, Hua Lang was stunned to feel the heartbeat coming from Xie Hanjing.

“Boom…boom…boom…”

When all things finally come to an end, the sky suddenly becomes bright.

Hua Lang raised his eyes wearily and saw that the mountain, along with the cave, had been cut smoothly in half.

The light pierced his eyes, bringing tears to his eyes. In his hazy vision, a tall woman holding a sword slowly walked in from the huge incision.

Glancing at the two men lying on the ground, soaked and dying, she commented calmly, "Too weak."

Then she asked, "Jinshu, is this the talented junior sister you mentioned?"

She emphasized the word "extraordinarily gifted".

Another voice that Hua Lang was very familiar with came from behind the sword-wielding woman.

"Big Sister, is this the time to talk about this?"

Ming Jinshu walked out from behind Hua Luodeng. She rushed forward, knelt in the mud, picked up Hua Lang, and cried, "Wuwuwu, little junior sister, you made me worry to death, wuwuwuwu."

Hua Lang was confused by her crying. Ming Jinshu saw that she was about to close her eyes and was afraid that she was really dead. He hurriedly searched his body and took out a bowl of something and poured it into Hua Lang's mouth.

"Luckily, I stole a few bowls of medicine from Wuling Peak before leaving. Quick, little sister, drink this bowl of medicine!"

The familiar stench instantly awakened Hua Lang. She wanted to push Ming Jinshu away, but with such little force, Ming Jinshu didn't even notice she moved.

Just as he was about to drink it, a voice that sounded slightly disgusted but at this moment was like the sound of nature interrupted Ming Jinshu in time, "Alright, Jinshu, take the medicine back. No one except you would like to drink this."

Ming Jinshu always listened to Hua Luodeng's words. Upon hearing this, she reluctantly put the medicine back, took out a handful of pills again, and stuffed them all into Hua Lang's mouth.

She whispered, "Junior Sister, I still think the Centipede Soup is the most effective, but Senior Sister has spoken, so you should just take the pill. As for the Centipede Soup, when we return to Qinglai, Senior Sister will take you to Wuling Peak to drink as much as you want."

The sweet aftertaste of the pill instantly turned into a warm current that penetrated into her throat. After swallowing a mouthful of medicine with difficulty, Hua Lang finally had some strength. She grabbed Ming Jinshu's sleeve and slightly opened her lips.

Ming Jinshu looked at the "resurrected" junior sister with surprise, and leaned over to listen to what she wanted to say.

"Senior Sister... if you have any... next time... just give me the pills directly... that'll be fine..."

After saying that, she fainted.
