Chapter 180 I’ll know your taste after just one try!
The moment before Chu Jin entered the water, he almost subconsciously turned his hand and held Manluo tightly in his arms.
"open!"
Manluo gritted her teeth and growled, her fingertips stained with red nail polish brushed across his neck, struggling desperately to break free from Chu Jin's restraints.
"You bitch, you want to die with me? Fine, then let's die together!"
Chu Jin said harsh words, but when the waves hit him, he turned around and protected Manluo against his chest. When his back hit the reef hard, a muffled groan came out of his throat.
The surging water tore the two of them apart like a ferocious giant hand. The pain of Manluo's nails scratching his neck was blurred by the biting cold.
Manluo kicked and struggled in the turbulent current, but Chu Jin's iron-like arms clamped around her waist, causing her to sink to the bottom of the river.
"ah!"
Manluo's screams mixed with bubbles bursting, her fingertips touched the hundred-chain lock on the other person's waist, and she pulled it randomly.
The rattling of the fine iron chain reminded Chu Jin. He quickly wrapped the chain tightly around the wrists of the two men and tied a knot.
Another wave of water came, and the two people's bodies were washed away, but because of the chains, they were stretched into a straight line in the rapids.
Chu Jin grasped the iron chain, lifted Manluo's body out of the water, and pulled her into his arms again:
"You bastard, you want to kill me? See if you can swim out first! If you're not careful, we'll all be washed into the sea and become fish food!"
Suddenly, a whirlpool suddenly opened its dark mouth in front of it. Manluo looked at the rapidly rotating water and her pupils suddenly shrank.
Chu Jin's curses were drowned out by the roaring sound of the water, and the two were suddenly pulled into the center of the whirlpool by a huge force.
Manluo felt her internal organs churning, her vision gradually encroaching on the darkness. The last thing she saw was Chu Jin's profile—veins bulged on his forehead, but he gripped the chain tightly, leaving several bloody marks between their wrists...
I don’t know how long it took, but when Manluo opened her eyes again, salty cold water poured into her mouth and nose.
Manluo surfaced coughing violently, but found that her wrists were still tied by the chains.
Chu Jin half-floated beside her, the other end of the Hundred Chain Lock still wrapped around his arm, the fine iron buckle deeply embedded in his flesh, and the blood beads that seeped out dyed the surrounding water light red.
His voice was hoarse as if it contained broken glass, but he still raised the corners of his mouth:
"Want to perish together with me? Maybe in the next life!"
Manluo glared at him and tried to break free, but found that the chains had entangled their flesh and blood together.
She heard the sound of waves hitting the rocks in the distance, and she realized that the current had washed them into the open sea.
The sea surface under the night sky was shimmering with a faint blue phosphorescence, and Chu Jin's face flickered in the waves. The bloody mark left by her scratch spread from his neck to his collarbone, but it added a bit of madness to the cruelty in his eyes.
"Chu Jin, you're such a sticky plaster, why can't I get rid of you?"
She gritted her teeth, but when another wave hit her, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.
His chin rested on the top of her head, and the sea breeze brought a salty smell as he laughed softly:
"You provoke me again and again, and I'm forced to do this!"
Before he could finish his words, another undercurrent came and dragged the two of them into deeper waters.
Manluo saw on the verge of suffocation that Chu Jin always protected her by his side, using his body to block the impact of the reef.
The sharp spikes of the Hundred Chains Lock cut her skin, but it also became her only lifeline at the moment.
Chu Jin's fingertips had already turned purple from the cold, but when he touched a piece of driftwood half-submerged in the sea water, his eyes lit up.
He hurriedly pulled Manluo's body over to him: "Hold it!"
Driven by the instinct of survival, Manluo became obedient and reached out to hold onto the driftwood.
Even so, her mouth was still dishonest:
"Chu Jin, I noticed you have a jinxed mouth. You said you'd chase me to the ends of the earth, and you actually chased me all the way to the sea. Meeting you is such bad luck!"
Manluo didn't mention the last time he drove her off the cliff. She just refused to admit that she was Zisha. What could he do?
Chu Jin snorted, "I always keep my word. If I say something, I will definitely do it!"
The two of them drifted together in each other's arms. When the first ray of dawn tore through the night, the people at both ends of the chain were already covered in wounds, but they were still tightly connected in an almost twisted posture, floating in the waves.
Manluo and Chu Jin looked around.
But on the clear sea surface, the sky was as blue as a piece of ice-hardened glass, merging with the equally boundless sea water at the end.
But the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky cannot withstand the bone-chilling cold.
Manluo's teeth chattered constantly, her ashen cheek pressed tightly against Chu Jin's arms. Suddenly, she heard a laughter that shook his chest:
"Why, are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid. It's just death, isn't it?"
She forced herself to look up, but was flicked on the forehead by Chu Jin's fingertips.
The green veil that had covered her face had long since disappeared, revealing a strange face before Chu Jin. Although it was beautiful, it made him frown slightly.
"Do you like using other people's faces so much? Isn't your own face pretty good?"
Manluo snorted. Even at this point, he was still stubborn.
"My father gave birth to me and my mother raised me, and my face looks like this. I don't understand what you are saying!"
Chu Jin sneered:
"You bastard, no matter how exquisite your disguise is, you can fool others, but you can't fool me, Chu Jin! Others may not recognize me, but you?"
He slowly leaned closer to her cheek and clasped his hands around the back of her neck.
"I'll know your taste once I try it!"
