Looking at Chu Jiang No. 2's appearance, Yan Qing couldn't guess what he was up to. However, there was one thing she was very certain of.
So she simply shouted, "Don't agree to him!"
"Don't agree to him—!"
Just then, a voice came from behind, "Don't waste your breath, they can't hear you at all."
Yan Qing turned around angrily, rolled her eyes at him, and then obediently returned to being a spectator.
Unfortunately, Yan Qing No. 2 was completely unaware of her good intentions.
At this moment, Yan Qing No. 2 finally made her decision. She looked up at Chu Jiang No. 2's face, her expression filled with utmost trust.
"Brother Chu, wherever you go, I'll go."
It's obvious that this girl is head over heels in love with someone.
Behind her, Chu Jiang himself remained silent. His gaze lingered on a certain spot ahead, his thoughts unreadable.
Chu Jiang No. 2, on the other hand, finally burst into a hearty laugh.
"Alright, since even you are not afraid of death, what do I, a disciple of the Xuanmen sect, have to fear! Rest assured, even if it's the King of Hell's palace, I will definitely protect you."
After saying that, he took Yan Qing No. 2's hand and slowly walked up to the cliff.
There, instead of the familiar Azure Dragon Coffin Lifting Ceremony, was a deathly void.
"Oh my god, what are they trying to do—ah!!"
Yan Qing was only halfway through her sentence when she saw the two of them holding hands and jumping straight off the edge of the cliff.
Coming to her senses, Yan Qing quickly looked at Chu Jiang behind her, "You just jumped down like that? You didn't die?"
Chu Jiang spread his hands, "Do I look like I've fallen to my death?"
Yan Qing looked her up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I guessed so."
Then she started to worry again, "Are we going to have to jump down too?"
She cautiously approached the edge of the cliff and looked down. Even the most powerful searchlight could only illuminate a few meters below. Beyond that, it was still pitch black.
Chu Jiang slowly walked behind her, reached out, and swiftly wrapped his arm around her waist. Before she could react, he jumped off the cliff.
"Chu Jiang, I'll swear on your whole family—!!—You just wait!!"
Yan Qing realized what was happening and immediately pulled out her parachute pack, frantically putting it on.
Unfortunately, someone probably couldn't stand to see her doing well, so they "accidentally" knocked her parachute pack away with their other hand.
Yan Qing was utterly terrified and could only cling tightly to the man's waist. She closed her eyes and mentally screamed that this guy was a complete madman, and that they might as well all die together!
The descent was still ongoing, but above her head came Chu Jiang's deep laughter, which was particularly clear in the silent night.
Yan Qing simply pretended to be dead. As long as she could survive, there was nothing she couldn't endure.
After descending for a while longer, which felt like an eternity to Yan Qing, she suddenly noticed that the descent had slowed down.
Finally, her feet made steady contact with the ground.
Thank goodness, she has finally escaped death!
As soon as she landed, Yan Qing jumped off the person. She quickly ran a few feet away and then began searching for the two people.
The searchlight overhead was indeed the most expensive kind; she could see two overlapping, blurry figures on the ground nearby.
When I went over to take a look, it was indeed those two people.
However, compared to himself, the two of them were in a much more miserable state.
These two people seemed to have encountered something when they fell, as their bodies were covered in streaks of blood, looking utterly miserable.
Furthermore, both of them had multiple bruises on their heads, bodies, and faces. It seems they suffered a severe fall. Therefore, they remain unconscious.
Yan Qing reached out to touch the other person, but unfortunately, they were in different times and spaces, and she only touched nothingness. She had to give up the idea of saving the person for the time being.
"Don't worry, they'll both wake up in half an hour."
Chu Jiang had somehow appeared behind her and gently reminded her.
"oh--"
Yan Qing didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. So, she decided to first figure out where she was.
She stomped her foot on the ground, and the solid feel under her feet told her that the stones here were probably made of a similar material to lapis lazuli, and were very sturdy.
Looking around, there was a huge shadow in the southeast, but it was too far away for the searchlight to see.
I sniffed the air; it was thick with moisture, so there must be water nearby.
Besides, everything was shrouded in the darkness of night, and there was no hope in sight.
So Yan Qing sat down without hesitation and started eating to replenish her energy.
Without realizing it, she noticed that Chu Jiang seemed to be looking in a certain direction, intentionally or unintentionally. That was the huge shadow she had spotted in the southeast.
So she secretly began communicating with Lingxi, "Lingxi, Lingxi—"
Her only response was deathly silence.
When I contacted Youming Jinli again, the result was the same.
Yan Qing understood; this place must have a strong ability to suppress strange powers. Lingxi and Youming Jinli couldn't even wake up here; they could only remain in a self-protective slumber.
She looked at Chu Jiang, who remained calm and composed, and her eyes showed even greater apprehension.
The Gold Rank title is strange; is the difference in strength really that great?
Half an hour passed quickly, and not far away, Chu Jiang No. 2 was the first to wake up.
He rubbed his head, his eyes filled with disbelief, "I'm still alive? — Qingqing, Qingqing!"
He quickly nudged Yan Qing No. 2 beside him and, finding that she was only unconscious, he was relieved. He took out a small white medicine bottle from his pocket and gave it to her.
Then he rolled up Yan Qing No. 2's sleeves, looking as if he had suffered a severe blow.
"How is this possible! It's only been half a day, how could this be?"
The bluish-black lividity on Yan Qing No. 2's arm had spread to cover the entire arm. What he found even more unacceptable was that the area around her neck had also turned a faint bluish-purple.
Yan Qing, who was observing, also noticed that the other person's lividity seemed to have expanded considerably. Moreover, the process was very rapid, and it looked like it would soon cover the entire body.
She looked at Chu Jiang with some curiosity. What exactly was this Yan Qing No. 2? And where did the lividity on her body come from?
Unfortunately, the other party remained enigmatic and showed no intention of explaining to her.
