The passage was very long, and the scenery had given Xue Ran a breath of fresh air several times along the way. She seriously suspected that the so-called second exit of the Tang Clan's secret chamber was actually a trap to kill people. Otherwise, how many people could hold their breath for so long in such a long passage? Even she had to be cheating to swim this far.
She didn't know how long she swam before she finally saw the moonlight on the water. With all her might, she brought Xue Ran to the surface. After finally reaching the shore, Feng Guang collapsed from exhaustion, panting. Even with her strength points, swimming with a grown man was still incredibly tiring.
Turning her head to look at the man lying beside her, she gritted her teeth and got up again, "Xue Ran, I won't let you die!"
Since he was unconscious anyway, and not wanting to waste the opportunity, she gave him another big kiss on the cheek. "Consider this a thank you for protecting me in the secret room. Once you're better, I'll ask you for the reward for saving you this time."
This act of gratitude, whether it was her saving him or him saving her, seems to be her taking advantage of him...
Feng Guang glanced around and realized that this was the bamboo forest where she had gotten lost, and that they had just come out of this small pool. Xue Ran was still injured and didn't have time to think. She was about to carry him on her back when she walked out of the shadows by herself.
"Miss Xia?" Shan Ya asked, puzzled by her disheveled appearance. "What happened to you?"
Feng Guang cried out as if he had seen a savior, “Master Shan! It’s so good to have met you! Xue Ran has been poisoned, please save him!”
"What? He's been poisoned?" Shan Ya exclaimed in surprise. He rushed over and, upon seeing Xue Ran lying on the ground, barely alive, he suddenly gripped his sword tightly.
Feng Guang found his sudden silence strange. "Master Shan, what's wrong?"
Dan Ya remained silent, his face obscure in the dim moonlight of the night.
Feng Guang unconsciously moved closer to Xue Ran. At that moment, a cold hand grasped her wrist. She turned around and saw that Xue Ran had opened her eyes. She said happily, "You're awake!"
Dan Ya looked surprised, then quickly asked with concern, "Dr. Xue, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Xue Ran sat up from the ground, and Feng Guang helped him to his feet. He smiled at Feng Guang and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
"Your poison?"
"My constitution is special; the poison in my body will be eliminated on its own after a while." That's why he said he would be fine in a little while before he fainted. He never expected that she would risk her life to save him.
Feng Guang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Her relieved smile was pure and innocent, easily making people feel that they were very important in her eyes. However, Xue Ran also noticed other things. Because she got up in the middle of the night, she was dressed very lightly, and as a result, after she was soaked, her shapely figure was completely exposed to everyone's view. Because she was worried about his health, she did not notice these things at all.
Xue Ran's gaze darkened, and he took off his soaking wet robe and draped it over her shoulders. Feng Guang was puzzled as to why he would suddenly put a wet robe over her. Xue Ran glanced at Shan Ya, but Shan Ya quickly understood. He turned his gaze away and dared not look at Feng Guang again.
Xue Ran deliberately shielded himself from the limelight and asked, "Why is Hall Master Shan here?"
"Upon receiving the news that the disciples guarding the secret chamber were suddenly attacked during their shift change, I suspected that the Demonic Cult Leader might have returned. That's why I searched the area thoroughly before I felt at ease. As for Doctor Xue and Miss Xia, why are they here in such a state?"
