Chapter 585: I Won't Be Grateful
Of course, this dark thought only lingered in her mind for a few seconds before Huang Rongyu still chose to rescue Huang Tianqi.
He tossed the green vine to Huang Tianqi: "Catch it."
Huang Tianqi immediately grabbed the green vine, his expression as excited as if he had seen a savior.
However, his excitement lasted only a moment before he suddenly cried out in terror, "Something is pulling on my legs from below!"
Huang Rongyu also felt the green vine in his hand being pulled by a force. He frowned and secretly increased the strength in his hand.
"Pull me up! Quick!"
Huang Tianqi was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. He desperately clung to the only straw in his hand, muttering curses under his breath: "Huang Rongyu, did you not eat?! Pull me harder! If I die here... I'll become a vengeful ghost and haunt you every day, so you'll never have peace for the rest of your life!"
Huang Rongyu's forehead veins bulged, and she suddenly wanted to just let go of the green vine and turn around and leave.
Soon, several blue fish poked their heads out from under the swamp mud. They stared at Huang Tianqi with their big eyes, and then, in Huang Tianqi's terrified gaze, they opened their blood-red mouths full of sharp teeth!
"Aaaaaah—!"
The ghostly cries of Huang Tianqi echoed from the swamp, making Huang Rongyu's ears ache. She could only use all her strength to pull the poor ghost up.
However, he had already exhausted too much energy from falling into the swamp to climbing ashore, and now his arms were very sore. He was willing but unable to pull a boy of considerable weight out of the heavy swamp mud.
Just as Huang Rongyu felt his hands slipping as he gripped the green vine, a pair of hands reached out from behind him and grabbed the vine forcefully.
Huang Rongyu was startled. A faint fragrance of hair wafted from his side. He turned his head and saw the face he had been longing for day and night.
Seeing him staring blankly at her, Ye Fei raised an eyebrow: "Don't just stand there, hurry up and give it your all!"
...
Finally, Huang Tianqi managed to climb ashore before being eaten by those strange fish.
Covered in mud, he lay on the bank, taking deep breaths of fresh air.
Huang Rongyu used water-based spiritual energy to draw clean water to wash away the filth on his body. As he washed his hands, he looked at Ye Fei, who was standing side by side with Li Yuan.
After a while, Huang Rongyu stopped washing herself: "Xiao Fei, your...your injury..."
Ye Fei looked down at the wound on her lower abdomen and waved her hand casually: "I'm fine. But what about you guys? Why are you here?"
"I……"
Huang Rongyu pursed her lips. The black-clad youth standing beside her stared at her with extremely cold eyes, and for a moment he didn't have the courage to say the words "I'm looking for you".
Ye Fei frowned when she saw his hesitant look. In her memory, Huang Rongyu was not the kind of person who was indecisive.
Just as she was about to ask, Li Yuan coldly said, "Now that you've found the person, leave quickly and head to the next secret realm."
Huang Tianqi wearily opened his eyes, rested briefly, then sat up, his expression somewhat awkward: "Although... you saved this Crown Prince, I will not be grateful to you!"
Huang Rongyu glanced at him and said indifferently, "I didn't intend to save you in the first place."
Huang Tianqi was taken aback for a moment, then murmured softly, "Then why did you change your mind again?"
"If you die, the Empress will definitely target me and my sister Yingyue even more."
Huang Rongyu paused, then said, "I know that the Empress was responsible for all the things that harmed me in the past. You are innocent, and I don't want to harm an innocent life for such a reason."
