Just you wait, once I find my beloved lioness, I'll show off my skills to her to my heart's content!
Mu Nanxun crouched down, lifted Yi Yi horizontally, and then stood up, holding her high. He made sure her entire body was above the water...
Yi felt a wave of dizziness, and then her body was suspended in the air in Mu Nanxun's hands.
Suddenly being pulled out of the icy water sent a shiver through her body, and she realized that her legs seemed to have temporarily lost all feeling.
"No, Mumu, put me down right now. Your body can't take it."
Yi struggled anxiously, trying to jump out of his arms.
"Stay put and don't move."
Mu Nanxun frowned and looked at her, displeased.
His arms tightened around her, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Had he forgotten that he himself was also seriously injured and had just woken from a coma several days prior? He couldn't withstand such treatment.
Yi lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes with anxiety.
"Please, Mumu, please put me down. I'm a spirit fox, my body... I'm very resilient, this little injury, this little injury... I don't care about it at all. You were injured so badly before, you won't be able to take it if you stay in this cold water."
He didn't speak, but hugged her tighter and kissed her delicate neck.
"Don't speak or move. If you want me to live a couple more days, just behave."
His voice was as gentle as a clear spring. But his body was like a mountain, standing tall beside her.
She could lean on him anytime she wanted.
Yi Yi clenched her fists so tightly that her long nails dug into her flesh. She was such an unlucky girl; why did she always end up hurting others?
Dudu is like this, Mao Mao is like this, and Mu Mu is like this too...
Just then, the once silent water prison began to stir, with rustling sounds growing louder as they approached.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a swarm of dark spiders!
The spider, its tail bristling with venom, crept menacingly toward the two of them.
This is a special breed of fox spirits raised by the fox spirit clan to punish fox spirits who have committed unforgivable crimes.
The venom of these spiders is not fatal, but once bitten, the poison slowly seeps into the skin and spreads throughout the body via the blood and bone marrow. The body's organs gradually fail, causing the bitten person unbearable suffering.
Normally, these spiders are kept in a hidden compartment in the water dungeon and don't easily come out. And within the entire Spirit Fox Clan, only Grandma Arno and Jiang Shanshan are able to release the spiders.
How vicious! Jiang Shanshan actually used such a cruel method to deal with them.
Yi Yi's heart leaped into her throat. She frantically pounded on Mu Nanxun's shoulder, struggling...
"Mu Nanxun, put me down! Put me down!"
Mu Nanxun merely glared at her coldly, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
As the spider drew closer and closer to them... however, when the spider reached the water's edge, it suddenly stopped and hesitated to move forward.
"W-what's going on? Have these spiders had a change of heart?"
Yi Yi muttered to herself.
Chen Dudu smiled wryly, "Uh, Yi Yi, you must be the first person in history to think that Spider would have a change of heart."
Mu Nanxun frowned, almost without thinking, glanced at her, and said helplessly.
"I think there must be something in this water that they are afraid of."
"oh--"
