Chu Zheng struggled for a few moments, then reluctantly nodded.
Chu Xinxin didn't trust her, so she made a contract with Shang Li on the spot to make it work.
"After all, your sister often lies. What if I cure your eyes and then deny it when we get out?"
Seeing Chu Zheng's face turn pale in an instant, Chu Xinxin knew she had guessed correctly.
"Shang Li, come here." Chu Xinxin took out her panacea and dripped two drops into Shang Li's eyes.
"Stand with your back to the fire, and slowly open your eyes after a while."
Shang Li was very obedient and only slowly opened his eyes when Chu Xinxin said he could open them.
My gaze first fell upon a light green dress, and then upwards, upon a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Chu Xinxin bent down, examining his eyes: "How is it? Can you see now? If you're not used to it, you can close your eyes again..."
"I can see it..." Shang Li murmured, "It looks so much like it..."
Chu Zheng's face lit up with joy: "It's good that I can see it... It looks very similar, very similar to what?"
Shang Li stared intently at Chu Xinxin: "It's very similar, but you're not Xingyuan."
Chu Xinxin straightened up: "Oh? How did you tell?"
"Your eyes." Shang Li smiled, her fragile expression instantly transforming into a warm glow: "Your eyes hold the Milky Way, they're so beautiful."
Shen Yao, feeling jealous, retorted, "You're so eloquent; I've known it for a long time."
Shang Li then looked at him and nodded, "Brother."
"You're just a black shark, you have no right to call me that."
"Stop!" Chu Xinxin told them to stop. "Is this never going to end?"
Shen Yao snorted coldly and turned his head away.
......
It's late at night.
Everyone was exhausted after a long day, and Chu Xinxin casually found a rock and fell asleep.
Shang Li's eyes had just recovered, and she couldn't bear to sleep, so she told Chu Zheng to rest first.
In an instant, the mountain stream fell silent.
The only sound was the occasional crackling of the burning flame.
After watching for a while, Shang Li shifted his gaze to Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xinxin slept soundly, unlike Chu Zheng, who would wake up immediately at the slightest sound or disturbance, even when asleep.
For some reason, Shang Li suddenly put the ring on her finger.
A strange connection suddenly formed between him and Chu Xinxin.
Shang Li couldn't help but want to get closer to her.
His gaze swept over Chu Xinxin's eyebrows and eyes, and landed on her lips.
He had a feeling that he had touched that...
"What are you looking at!"
Shang Li's view was blocked by a tall figure.
The connection circled around Shen Yao twice before drifting towards Chu Xinxin.
After Shenyao draped a coat over Chu Xinxin, he didn't move aside: "Don't spend all your time thinking about things that don't belong to you."
Shang Li stared directly at Shen Yao and, for the first time, retorted to his brother: "King Mermaid, Xin Xin is not your possession."
"The whole world belongs to me."
Shen Yao looked at Shang Li with arrogance.
Shang Li's words caught him completely off guard: "Don't you want Xingyuan anymore?"
Shen Yao was furious and embarrassed: "She left without saying goodbye, do you expect me to stay with her for the rest of my life?"
“But this is not fair to Xin Xin... You only see her as a substitute for Xing Yuan, you don’t really like her.”
“I don’t need that kind of feeling, it’s enough for her to be by my side.”
Shang Li remained silent.
After a long pause, he replied in a low voice, "You'll regret this."
......
I slept well all night.
Chu Xinxin was unaware of the undercurrents between Shen Yao and Shang Li.
I just felt that these two were acting particularly strange today.
She moved closer to Shenyao: "Have you taken the wrong medicine? Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
"No."
Even so, I will still watch what I need to watch.
Time passed slowly, and on the fifth day, they finally saw the summit.
"I'm exhausted, my legs are shaking."
Chu Xinxin slumped onto the rock, wanting nothing more than to rest for a while.
Shenyao had no choice but to suppress his desire to leave immediately and stay by her side.
"King Mermaid, let's get this straight first: once I'm out here, I want to go back to the human race. If you try to force me to go back to your ocean depths, I'd rather stay in these mountains for the rest of my life."
Chu Xinxin gave him a heads-up first.
Don't even think about it.
Chu Xinxin immediately perked up: "Hey, you little merman, you've already sent me to Shi Meng, why are you still so relentless? Be careful your Xingyuan comes back and sees you with two women on your left and right and breaks off all ties with you in a fit of anger."
Shen Yao glanced at her indifferently, without replying.
Chu Xinxin rolled her eyes at him and cursed him in her mind.
Shenyao's mind-reading ability failed here too. Chu Xinxin cursed for a while, then, feeling bored, turned around and started to tormenting the system again.
Unfortunately, the system's mouth was glued shut; it would rather fight to the death with Chu Xinxin in this world than tell her.
"Just wait until the crew-cut guy drags you back."
After resting enough, Chu Xinxin started walking up the mountain again.
On the way, Shang Li kept talking to Chu Xinxin.
Perhaps it was because he was wearing a ring that Chu Xinxin felt an inexplicable closeness to him.
Once they reached the mountaintop, the two stopped to talk.
Because this mountain is an isolated mountain.
The mountaintop was a flat area surrounded by cliffs, with no way out at all.
Everyone fell silent.
After struggling to climb up, they found themselves at a dead end.
Is there anything more desperate than this?
The mountain was shrouded in mist, and nothing could be seen.
Shenyao surveyed the mountaintop and found nothing but rocks and soil.
"Perhaps we're going the wrong way," Shang Li guessed. "Should we go down and search again?"
That hole might have another direction.
"You can go if you want!"
Shen Yao was furious. If it weren't for Chu Zheng, he wouldn't have ended up in this state.
"We'll go then!" Chu Zheng had long wanted to avoid being with them. "Chu Xinxin, you were the ones who kicked us out, so this doesn't mean Shang Li broke the contract."
After saying that, she wanted to take Shang Li and leave first.
Chu Xinxin, of course, wouldn't let them leave; she pulled Shang Li along.
She was strong, and it looked like Shang Li was about to be pulled away by her.
Chu Zheng's eyes darkened, and before anyone could notice, she pushed Chu Xinxin off the cliff with a single palm strike.
"court death!"
Shen Yao's five fingers formed a claw and attacked Chu Zheng, but Shang Li blocked it.
Shang Li also fell down.
Shen Yao ignored Chu Zheng and followed suit, leaping down the mountain.
