Shang Duojin was stunned by her yelling. After a while, he realized what the problem was.
"I don't care if it was your first kiss or not, the fact is you stole a kiss from me! I've known you for so long, how could I not have imagined you were this kind of person!!"
Shu Qingqing was furious. She was exhausted from performing CPR on that idiot Shang Duojin, and her brain was also severely oxygen-deprived.
That idiot is something else. Not only did he almost push her to the ground as soon as she woke up, but he also turned around and blamed her.
The two were arguing loudly. After hearing the noise, Thunder told Fire to keep watch while it went into the water cave.
Upon discovering that Shang Duojin had regained consciousness and seemed to be alright, just as they were about to say something, they heard Shu Qingqing angrily say:
"Shang Duojin, if you're out of your mind, get it checked out when you get back. Look where we are now, and use your watery brain to think about why you're unconscious. Was the CPR I just gave you taking advantage of you or saving your life?!"
She was accused of being a pervert for saving someone, it's hilarious!
Lei Ting roughly understood and quickly went to explain it to Shang Duojin.
After figuring out what was going on, Shang Duojin glanced at the water cave where they were, then at Shu Qingqing, whose chest was heaving violently with anger, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood the situation."
The water cave was very quiet, with only the sounds of dripping water and flowing water.
Therefore, although Shang Duojin's voice was soft, it still resonated quite clearly in the water cave.
Shu Qingqing was furious with him and gave him a sarcastic look: "Don't look at me like that. How could you be wrong? I was the one who was wrong. I shouldn't have saved you, and you even turned around and bit me!"
"you!!"
The tension between the two was always palpable, but the situation was different now. Thunder could only act as a peacemaker, reminding them of their current predicament.
"The most important thing right now is to get out of here as soon as possible and send a message to Qiao Mei and the others. They must be frantic with worry because you suddenly disappeared!"
Reminded by it, Shu Qingqing temporarily ceased her conflict with Shang Duojin and wanted to touch the light brain bracelet.
To my surprise, when I looked down, my wrist was empty; the smart brain bracelet was nowhere to be found.
The same goes for Shang Duojin; it was probably taken down by the person who brought them here.
So he could only walk to the entrance of the water cave to see what was going on outside.
The closer they got to the entrance, the louder the sound of the waterfall cascading down became. Shu Qingqing glanced over and found that the path leading outside was blocked by a large waterfall.
Below, however, are rushing waters and deep pits.
If you were to go that way, you'd be swept away and would either die or lose half your life.
So she quietly retreated to the safe zone, glanced at Huo Huo and Lei Ting, and finally fixed her gaze on Lei Ting.
"Thunder, I remember that among your snakes, there are water snakes, right? Then you must be a good swimmer?"
Thunder can indeed swim, but the current in the waterfall pit ahead is so rapid, and it's rather small. If it really goes over there, it will most likely be swept away.
After telling Shu Qingqing about this, Shu Qingqing had a terrible headache: "What should we do? We can't just stay here any longer. Who knows, the things that kidnapped us might come back soon. Staying here is no different from waiting to die."
Indeed, Shang Duojin looked around and found that there were still many vines entwined around the water cave. After thinking for a while, he came up with a good idea.
"What if we climb out using vines? Thunder is a wood-type familiar, and the vines it creates are very resilient. If we can climb out using vines, we might have a chance to survive."
Shang Duojin usually has an unreliable and immature demeanor, but when he seriously talked about his plans, his boyish face looked more mature and aloof.
Shu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat as she watched, and only then did she begin to recall the detailed process of how she had performed CPR on Shang Duojin.
His lips were incredibly soft, like jelly, and had a faint gardenia scent. Kissing them felt almost like kissing a gardenia petal.
"You naughty woman, you'll follow behind me from now on, just for your safety. After all, I'm a man and stronger than you. If anything happens to you, I can help you."
Shu Qingqing was lost in thought, her gaze fixed only on Shang Duojin's lips as they moved, and she didn't hear a word he was saying.
It wasn't until he frowned and waved his hand in front of her that she snapped out of her daze, looked away guiltily, and asked him what was wrong.
"I told you, follow behind me later, so I can help you if anything happens. You bad woman, did you get deaf from drowning? Do I have to say it twice?!"
Shu Qingqing knew she was in the wrong, so this time she didn't argue with Shang Duojin. After Lei Ting finished setting up the vines, she followed Shang Duojin and climbed up the vines to get out, just as he had instructed.
At the same time, outside the Water Cave Waterfall.
Ao Cang, in his black dragon form, had already fought several rounds against Lai Tan, who was in his octopus form.
Although Lai Tan's recovery was not as good as his, every attack he launched was as if he were prepared to die, and it was extremely crazy.
This caused him to struggle to defend himself, and after fighting for almost half an hour, the two were still evenly matched.
"Tsk, you're quite the woman's loyal dog. Her friend was arrested, why didn't she come to rescue him herself, but instead sent you, her dog, to fight on the front lines? Is this how she shows her affection for you?"
Lai Tan transformed directly into human form, his body floating in mid-air, his purple eyes filled with sarcasm.
Ao Cang remained unmoved, and after transforming into human form as well, asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"What to do? Of course, it's to eliminate the variable that is Qiao Mei. You can't be unaware that she's just an outsider, can you? Outsiders are destined not to stay here for long, nor should they take the place that belongs to others."
Although Lai Tan didn't explicitly say who this "other person" was, Ao Cang still guessed that it must be related to Qiao Yingying.
He frowned and asked, "What do you mean? What exactly do you mean by 'outsider'?"
He knew that Qiao Mei was a visitor from another time and space, but that was only in her past life. In this life, her soul is here, isn't it?
"What does 'can' mean? Of course, it means exactly what it says. She should have died long ago. The person who is now using Qiao Mei's identity is someone else, someone who shouldn't be here. She disrupted many rules and almost prevented me from meeting Qiao Yingying. Tell me, doesn't she deserve to die?"
Lai Tan's words were too much of a shock to Ao Cang, and he found it difficult to process them for a while.
Looking at the serious expression in Lai Tan's eyes, he guessed that he was not lying.
Even so, he would never let himself be led by the nose.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Shang Duojin and his companion crawling out of the water cave through the vines, and an idea instantly formed in Ao Cang's mind.
