“Plop!”
With a dull thud, Ye Chen and Luo Qingcheng fell into an icy lake together.
“Cough cough cough…”
Ye Chen choked on the water a few times and quickly held his breath. At the same time, he felt a strong suction coming from the bottom of the lake, pulling him down.
"Qingcheng!"
Ye Chen was shocked and looked down quickly, only to find that Luo Qingcheng had been washed away by the lake water.
“Damn it!”
Ye Chen cursed inwardly and tried hard to swim to Luo Qingcheng, but the suction was too strong and he could not resist it at all.
"Qingcheng, hold on!"
Ye Chen screamed in his heart as he was pulled to the bottom of the dark lake by the powerful suction force, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen slowly woke up and found himself in a mysterious space.
The air is filled with dreamy lights, which are bright or dim, interweaving into a gorgeous and colorful picture.
Under the feet is a layer of transparent crystals, like solidified water waves, sparkling with a mysterious luster.
Through this layer of crystal, one can see countless runes slowly flowing underneath, emitting an ancient and powerful aura.
In the distance, huge crystal pillars rose from the ground, reaching the invisible dome above.
The crystal columns are inlaid with various exotic gems, emitting blue, green or purple light, illuminating the entire space with colorful colors.
Above the sky is a rippling lake, blocked by an invisible barrier, and sunlight is refracted through the lake water.
Ye Chen was deeply shocked by the wonderful and mysterious scene before him, and was a little dazed for a moment.
Luo Qingcheng was lying on Ye Chen's chest, still unconscious.
When Ye Chen was sucked to the bottom of the lake and lost consciousness at the last moment, he burst out all his cultivation and rushed towards Luo Qingcheng.
He completely lost consciousness the moment he hugged Luo Qingcheng tightly. Even though Ye Chen lost consciousness, he still held Luo Qingcheng tightly in his arms and did not let go.
At this moment, Luo Qingcheng in Ye Chen's arms moaned and slowly woke up.
Luo Qingcheng slowly opened her beautiful eyes and found herself lying on Ye Chen's chest in an extremely shameful posture. Her pretty face immediately turned red with shame, like a ripe apple, so beautiful and tempting.
"Ye Chen, where is this?"
Luo Qingcheng called softly, her voice as gentle as a feather brushing against the tip of the heart.
When Ye Chen found that Luo Qingcheng showed signs of waking up, he pretended to be asleep again, just to indulge in the feeling of holding her warmth and softness in his arms.
Hearing Luo Qingcheng's cry, Ye Chen curled up a wicked smile, pretended to have just woken up, and opened his eyes in a daze.
"Um...Qingcheng, are you awake?"
Ye Chen rubbed his eyes, his voice was lazy and magnetic, with a hint of hoarseness from just waking up, which touched Luo Qingcheng's heartstrings.
"You...you let me go."
Luo Qingcheng felt Ye Chen's hot breath spraying on her ears, and her body became even stiffer. She wanted to struggle to get up, but found that Ye Chen was holding her very tightly and she couldn't move at all.
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
Ye Chen hugged Luo Qingcheng tighter, with a barely perceptible hint of arrogance in his tone.
Luo Qingcheng's heart was beating wildly. She could feel Ye Chen's strong heartbeat and the warmth coming from his body, which made her feel extremely at ease.
"Ye Chen, you..."
Luo Qingcheng wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so she could only let Ye Chen hold her.
Ye Chen looked at the shy Luo Qingcheng in his arms, and his heart softened. He knew that Luo Qingcheng was also interested in him.
"Qingcheng, you are so beautiful."
Ye Chen lowered his head and whispered softly in Luo Qingcheng's ear, his tone so gentle that water could drip out.
Luo Qingcheng's ears turned red instantly. She wanted to avoid Ye Chen's burning gaze, but he lifted her chin forcefully and forced her to look at him.
When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still, and there was only each other in their eyes.
Ye Chen looked at Luo Qingcheng's clear eyes, and a strong urge surged in his heart, wanting to kiss those tempting red lips.
Luo Qingcheng also felt Ye Chen's intention. She instinctively wanted to avoid him, but for some unknown reason she closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly about to break out of its cocoon.
Just when Ye Chen's lips were about to touch Luo Qingcheng's lips, Luo Qingcheng suddenly thought of something, opened her eyes abruptly, and pushed Ye Chen away.
"Senior Sister and the others..."
Luo Qingcheng stood up and hurriedly straightened her clothes, not daring to look into Ye Chen's eyes.
"Ye Chen, will my senior sister and Su Chen be here too?"
Luo Qingcheng's voice trembled slightly, like a petal swaying in the wind.
"Don't worry, Qingcheng. Although the crack is mysterious, it's not dangerous. I guess they just fell somewhere else."
Ye Chen raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing determination. He reached out and gently patted Luo Qingcheng's shoulder to comfort her.
Luo Qingcheng felt a little relieved after hearing this, but still couldn't help biting her red lips.
She knew that Ye Chen was very sensitive to danger.
"Let's explore this space first. I feel there is a great opportunity for you here."
Ye Chen stretched out his hand and gently held Luo Qingcheng's delicate jade-like palm.
A faint blush appeared on Luo Qingcheng's face. Although she was shy, she did not reject the warm touch.
The two of them held hands and walked slowly forward in the interweaving of light and shadow.
"Actually, there's something I have to tell you..."
As he walked, Ye Chen suddenly stopped and looked at Luo Qingcheng seriously.
"What's up?"
Luo Qingcheng nervously squeezed Ye Chen's hand.
"My master, Old Demon Su, secretly arranged a marriage for me and Murong Xue, the Saintess of Qingyin Pavilion."
Ye Chen's eyes were complicated, and he gritted his teeth. He paused, "But I want you to know that you are the only one in my heart."
He felt a little resentful because Su Taixu had arranged a marriage for him without his consent.
However, if Ye Chen had not been bribed by Su Taixu with one million top-grade spirit stones, the engagement might have been ruined by himself.
Upon hearing the news, Luo Qingcheng was obviously shocked for a moment before calming down. She believed that Ye Chen would handle everything.
"I believe you." Luo Qingcheng replied softly.
The two continued to move forward along the crystal pillar, looking for the great opportunity that Ye Chen felt.
When the two reached the deepest part of the mysterious space, an ancient palace appeared in front of them.
"Look at that!"
Luo Qingcheng pointed at the palace in front of her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"I have a feeling that the great opportunity is in this palace." Ye Chen smiled slightly.
When they arrived in front of the palace, they saw the gate slowly open automatically with a slight friction sound.
"It seems to be welcoming us."
Ye Chen said jokingly, but his pace did not stop.
After entering the palace, looking around, I saw that the golden splendor was mixed with a sense of vicissitudes.
"Wow, this scene is so shocking!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh, with curiosity and excitement flashing in his eyes.
