"I promised you I would take you out of here." Xue Ran struggled to raise her ungloved hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. "Don't cry. My body is different from ordinary people. I have a certain resistance to poison. I won't die like this."
"Xue Ran...you look so pale..." Feng Guang choked up as she placed her hand on his face. "Your body temperature is so low...what can I do to help you?"
Ignoring her question, Xue Ran said haltingly, "The markings on the map are limited... I can't pinpoint the location of the second exit either. As for the scenery... Qingyu hasn't seen us, he'll definitely come looking for us. I left marks along the way to the Tang Sect's secret chamber, he'll find them, don't be afraid... Maybe tomorrow, you'll be able to get out tomorrow..."
"I can get out, but what about you!"
"Don't worry about me... I'll be fine in a little while..." Xue Ran said, then closed her eyes and collapsed onto her.
She called out, "Xue Ran!"
His breathing was heavy, and what was terrifying was that although his body temperature was very low, the breath he exhaled on her neck was scorching hot, as if his body was experiencing both ice and fire.
Feng Guang cried out in his mind, "System, come out here! I want to cheat!"
"Please state your requirements, host," the system's voice said indifferently.
"I want to use my points to exchange for an antidote!"
"Checking... The store does not have any antidote pills."
"Then...then I want to switch to the resurrection drug!"
"Friendly reminder: If the target is not dead, the revival potion will not work."
Feng Guang was exasperated. "What the hell? This won't work, that won't work, what use are you to me?"
She thought the system wouldn't answer her, but to her surprise, the system said, "I can tell the host how to leave the secret room."
Even if I can't get a cure, it would be good to get out of this awful place!
Feng Guang hurriedly replied, "How many points do I need? I'll exchange them!"
No points required.
"What? No need???" Her mind was full of question marks. In the past, whenever she asked for something, the system would calculate the points clearly, without any human touch. Why would it suddenly not require points to give her a cheat code?
Ignoring her surprise, the system said, "The wooden box is back in place; the exit is underwater."
Feng Guang glanced suspiciously at the terrifying silver water. She first helped Xue Ran up, making him look at the pillar on the stone platform to prevent him from falling onto the cold ground. Then, she stood up and, with lingering fear, poked the wooden box that had been flattened. Suddenly, the four sides of the wooden box stood up again, forming a cube. At the same time, the sound of rushing water rang out. The silver water seemed to have flowed away and was replaced by clear water.
Now she's no longer surprised by anything strange. Feng Guang knows that the system would never lie to her. She used two points to extend her underwater breathing time, helped Xue Ran to her feet, and jumped into the water without thinking twice.
It's usually very difficult for a woman to carry a man underwater, but it's not a problem for Feng Guang. At the beginning of each mission, she would boost her strength. She always believed that even if she encountered danger and couldn't outrun him, she could still pick up a brick and smash him to death.
There was indeed a passage underwater. Before she could even thank the system for its generosity, seeing Xue Ran's face growing paler, Feng Guang didn't think much of it and kissed his lips. She wasn't trying to take advantage of him; she just wanted to give him a breath of fresh air.
As for that accidental lick of his lips... well, she said it was accidental, so it was accidental!
In the dim water, Xue Ran's fingers twitched slightly.
