Chapter 139 If I fall down, won’t you be free from future troubles?
Chu Jin sneered and took the lead to step out of the cave.
Manluo hurriedly threw the fish bones she had chewed clean into the fire and followed Chu Jin.
When they got outside the cave, they glanced at the cliff.
On the cliffs dozens of feet high, dark green vines are wrapped around like giant pythons, which can help with climbing.
Manluo looked at the small piece of sky above her head, and her heart beat suddenly quickened.
Chu Jin ignored Manluo and jumped onto a protruding rock first. He clung to the crevice with his fingertips and then grabbed the vines above and began to climb up. His scarlet robe rustled in the wind.
Manluo took a deep breath and followed on tiptoe. When the cold vines wrapped around her wrists, she subconsciously looked back at the cave where she had stayed last night.
Unexpectedly, she and her sworn enemy had spent a night here peacefully, and...
She shook her head, blocked out her messy thoughts, and gradually caught up with Chu Jin.
Both of them had martial arts skills, and the cliff looked very steep, with some rubble sticking out, so they could use some strength, and gradually, they had climbed to the middle of the cliff.
The damp stone wall exuded cold air, and Manluo's palms were gradually soaked with cold sweat.
When she stood up, she stepped on a raised piece of gravel and reached out to grab the vines above. Unexpectedly, the gravel under her feet suddenly loosened, and she lost her balance in an instant. With a shrill scream, she fell down.
At the critical moment, her wrist was suddenly tightly grasped by someone——
It turned out that it was Chu Jin who was beside her who grabbed her at this critical moment.
"pay close attention!"
His roar mixed with the sound of the wind poured into her ears, and the veins on the arm that was holding her tightly bulged.
Manluo hung in the air in shock, looking at the vast fog below her feet, her legs shaking uncontrollably.
When she had climbed onto the vine again, she turned to look at him with lingering fear:
"Chu Jin, you hate me so much. If I fall down, won't that save you from future troubles?"
"I have already said that in this valley, if I don't take your life, then it counts!"
Chu Jin let go of her hand only after he saw that she had stabilized herself.
He stared at her white fingertips and suddenly frowned: "Get in front of me!"
Manluo was stunned for a moment, then she understood.
Was he afraid that she would fall again, so he was prepared to protect her from behind?
Manluo's heart suddenly trembled. Isn't this Chu Jin as vicious and ruthless as she imagined?
Not daring to think any more, she moved upwards along the cliff wall, cold sweat mixed with the moss on the cliff wall rubbing against her face, but she didn't dare to look back.
She was afraid to meet the complicated look in his eyes, and even more afraid to admit the slightly burning, unfamiliar emotion in her chest.
A full hour.
Finally, Manluo's fingertips touched the weeds on the top of the shore.
She gritted her teeth and turned over, then collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
Suddenly, there was a noise from below the cliff, and Chu Jin was about to reach the top of the cliff.
I saw his body hanging in the air, holding the vines with one hand, and about to climb up.
A crazy idea suddenly came to my mind.
This Chu Jin was Xiao Nanyan's biggest worry. If he was eliminated now...
Manluo's fingertips touched the sharp stone beside her, and the cold touch made her pupils shrink suddenly.
As long as this stone is thrown, this lingering enemy will fall into the abyss...
However, when she thought of last night, the two of them were so crazy and passionate, she remembered that he took off his robe and wrapped her up, holding her tightly all night to avoid freezing to death; and when she was falling just now, if he had not risked his life to save her, she would have fallen down and been smashed to pieces.
Thinking of this, her hand holding the stone gradually loosened.
At this time, Chu Jin had already turned over and climbed to the top of the cliff.
He gasped for breath, but his eyes fell precisely on the stone in her hand, and he couldn't help but sneer:
"You still have some humanity! If you had attacked me just now, the plum blossom nails in my sleeve would have killed you!"
Manluo stared at the faint blue poisonous light between his sleeves, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
The mountain wind whistled past, and it was almost noon.
A dirty man and woman lay exhausted on the top of the cliff. Their eyes met by chance, and neither of them noticed that what was surging in each other's eyes was no longer just hatred.
Manluo stretched out her limbs, looked up at the azure sky, and suddenly chuckled:
"Chu Jin, do you know? I hate men like you the most..."
Chu Jin didn't even open his eyes: "Same here!"
"Chu Jin, if I meet you again next time, I will kill you without mercy!"
"You're on your own. I, Chu Jin, am not a kindhearted person who sympathizes with women!"
Suddenly, no one spoke between the two of them.
At this moment, this rare silence was crushed by a burst of hurried footsteps.
"A Jin!"
A loud shout pierced the mountain wind, and both of them turned their heads at the same time—
I saw about a dozen figures rushing over from a distance.
The leader was none other than Crown Prince Helian Feng.
(Note: The male and female protagonists' scenes will start tomorrow. From now on, they will have more scenes and more power struggles. Their scenes are slightly sad and a bit heavy, so during the May Day holiday, I wrote a few more scenes of bickering to adjust the atmosphere. Later on, the male and female protagonists will still have more scenes.)
