She sighed, put away the quantum brain bracelet, and pinched Ao Cang's cheek with her right hand: "Cang Cang, I know you have that ability, but it's always good to be more careful and have a backup plan."
Currently, the only people she can turn to for help are Xu Heyu and others; she doesn't know many others well, which is something she can't help.
Seeing that she was quite persistent this time, Ao Cang could only tremble his eyelashes and remain silent, leading her to continue chasing after the place where Lai Tan's aura had disappeared.
The temperature is even lower in the deep forest, and the tree canopy blocks out much of the sunlight.
Qiao Mei followed closely behind Ao Cang, and the further they went in, the more obvious the discomfort became.
It was as if something was secretly watching her.
The linear wisps of black smoke broke off at what appeared to be a deep pool of water.
Looking up into the distance, there's a small cave where the pool flows, but I don't know what's inside.
The sounds of rushing water from the pool, the cacophony of cicadas, and the intermittent chirping of birds filled the air.
Qiao Mei tightened her grip on Ao Cang's large hand and frowned, saying, "Cang Cang, should we go down?"
Raitan is the god of the sea, and wherever there is water, that is his domain.
If they go down now, the chances of them encountering danger are very high.
Ao Cang nodded: "Yes, but we can't all go down. We need to leave one person on the shore."
As he spoke, Ao Cang asked Qiao Mei to take out the reverse scale he had given her.
The Reverse Scale has already taken effect twice, and there is only one last time left to protect Qiao Mei's life.
This is certainly not enough.
So Ao Cang cupped Qiao Mei's face in his hands, lowered his head and kissed her, biting his tongue to feed her a mouthful of pure dragon blood.
Upon noticing a metallic taste in her mouth, Qiao Mei instinctively struggled to back away, but Ao Cang held her down, closed his eyes, and continued feeding her.
Feeling that the dragon blood he had given her could save her life again, he weakly released her, wiping the blood from her lips with the pad of his right thumb. Her stunned figure was reflected in his golden eyes.
"This dragon blood can save your life again. When I return, I will bring Shang Duojin and the others back safely."
No matter how strong Qiao Mei was, she was no match for someone like Lai Tan, who was on par with Ao Cang. Going there would only be a burden. She could only watch with worry as Ao Cang leaped into the pool and gradually disappeared.
The pool water was extremely cold. After Ao Cang entered, he once again unleashed his divine power to search for Lai Tan's whereabouts.
Upon discovering that some of his deathly aura remained in the water, he transformed into a dragon and gave chase.
In his human form, his strength is significantly reduced compared to his dragon form.
He didn't want Qiao Mei to worry about him, so using his animal form was the safest option.
...
"Cough cough..." After vomiting a mouthful of water, Shu Qingqing woke up to find herself in a dark cave. To her left was Shang Duojin, whose body was also bound by water plants.
He was still asleep, and his lips looked very pale.
The little green snake, Thunder, seemed to have been awake for a while. Seeing that she was awake, it lowered its voice in surprise and said, "Sister Qingqing, you're finally awake! Quickly think of a way to untie the water plants. I remember you're a fire-type familiar with superpowers, aren't you?"
Shu Qingqing is indeed one, but now her hands are bound, so she can't perform the action of summoning fire-type familiars.
After thinking for a moment, she called out to Huo Huo, who had been spending most of her time in her familiar beast space due to social anxiety.
"Fire, my dear Fire, come out and save your owner! This is a critical moment, so don't be shy about being social!!"
Huo Huo rarely heard Shu Qingqing beg her, and after hesitating for a while, she finally came out.
The familiar beast itself possesses familiar superpowers. After Firefire breathed fire and burned away the water plants wrapped around Shu Qingqing and the others' hands and feet, Shu Qingqing noticed something was amiss.
"Wait a minute, how could it go so smoothly? Doesn't the person who brought us here care about us?"
Lei Ting shook his head: "I don't know either. After I woke up, I found that the aura was gone. It must have left. But no matter what, that thing gave us a chance, and we can't just say we don't want it."
As he spoke, Lei Ting looked at Shang Duojin, whose face was still deathly pale, and then looked at Shu Qingqing for help, saying, "Sister Qingqing, you should help me wake up the master first. He must still be choking on water. We probably came here from the pool."
Even if they were unconscious at the time, they would unconsciously swallow the water when they were thrown into the pool. Shang Duojin probably drank a lot.
Shu Qingqing unbuttoned his clothes and looked at his stomach, which was bulging from being filled up.
In this situation, we certainly cannot continue to sit idly by.
She sent Lei Ting and Huo Huo outside to keep watch, while she came to help Shang Duojin.
"If we're just keeping watch, Huo Huo and I don't need to go. I want to see Master wake up..."
Shu Qingqing's temples throbbed as she thought about what she was going to do to Shang Duojin later, and she resolutely refused: "No, you go and keep watch with Huo Huo. I'll tell you as soon as Boss Shang wakes up!!"
She pushed Lei Ting away, her face showing no sign of wavering.
Lei Ting had no choice but to leave with a worried expression.
Once it was far away and she was sure it wouldn't see what was happening on her side, Shu Qingqing urgently began to rescue Shang Duojin.
She first loosened the clothes binding Shang Duojin's body one by one, then placed her hands on his chest and began to perform CPR.
After pressing for a while, seeing that he could only vomit a small amount of water, Shu Qingqing gritted her teeth, pinched his nose, leaned down and covered his lips with hers, blowing air into his mouth.
Then they repeated the CPR procedure.
This was repeated several times, and Shang Duojin's belly, which had been swollen from being filled with water from the pool, gradually flattened out.
The paleness on her face had faded considerably, and she regained some rosiness.
Seeing that her artificial respiration technique was effective, Shu Qingqing's eyes lit up instantly, and she pressed on with it.
Completely unaware, Shang Duojin's eyelashes had begun to tremble slightly, making her look like she was about to wake up.
"Cough cough..."
After vomiting out another mouthful of water, Shang Duojin opened his unusually heavy eyes. Through his blurred vision, he seemed to see Shu Qingqing approaching him.
Her pink lips also slowly approached him as she leaned forward.
Until a very distinct soft and cool touch touched his lips, instantly dispelling all the chaos in his mind. His dark eyes, which had been half-open, widened completely, and he reached out to push Shu Qingqing away.
Just as Shu Qingqing was about to blow air into Shang Duojin's mouth, she was suddenly pushed and stumbled, almost falling to the ground, completely stunned.
Shang Duojin sat up halfway, clutching his hand, and said in disbelief, "You bad woman, how could you do this to me while I was not fully conscious?! That was my first kiss!!"
Shu Qingqing finally understood what was going on, and she was furious: "You're my first kiss, but I'm not?!"
