What is that?
"Look over there!"
"Your Highness, look!"
Everyone watched the strange phenomenon coming from the mountains and forests behind them. Suddenly, a bright light appeared behind them. Tu Er and Ling Ji looked at each other and saw a determination in each other's eyes.
The two groups jostled and pushed each other as they rushed in.
The strange phenomenon was coming from the bottom of the pool, and it was still emitting waves of light. Both sides had their own thoughts and were secretly competing with each other.
Nobody wants to miss an opportunity.
Mo Lin looked at Tu Er warily and spoke first, "We were the ones who discovered it first."
Tu Er raised an eyebrow at Mo Lin and made a very nonchalant gesture of invitation.
For some reason, Tu Er felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he simply asked Mo Lin and the other demons to go and check it out first.
Mo Lin called out impatiently, "Ling Ji, go down and take a look first!"
After a long silence, Mo Lin turned around and saw that Ling Ji was still standing motionless in the same spot.
Looking at Ling Ji with slight impatience and irritation, he asked, "Ling Ji?"
What are you waiting for?
Considering the large number of people around, Ling Ji patiently said, "Your Highness, the exact situation of this pool is still unclear. It might be dangerous to go into the water rashly."
Mo Lin dismissed Ling Ji's words with a wave of his hand, saying, "What danger could there be in such a small pond? If you don't go in, some people might beat you to it."
After speaking, he gave Tu Er and the others a meaningful look.
Ling Ji thought to himself that this idiot was always finding new ways to be stupid. Not only was he stupid, but he also had no sense of propriety at all. Didn't he see that the people from the Demon Realm hadn't made a move?
They were just waiting for them to go and scout ahead, but this fool was stupid enough to go and pave the way for them.
But judging from this fool's appearance, we have no choice but to go into the pool today.
but,
Ling Ji glanced at Tu Er opposite him. Since they were going down, the demons could forget about sitting on top and reaping the benefits!
“Your Highness, since we and the demons discovered this place together, we should go down together as well, lest others say that we demons are petty.”
When Mo Lin heard what Ling Ji said, he thought, "Has he gone mad?"
Why would the demons get involved in such a great opportunity?
He observed Ling Ji's expression.
Having known each other for many years, Mo Lin quickly understood Ling Ji's meaning.
Looking at Tu Er, he feigned magnanimity and said, "In that case, you can all come together."
Both sides were well aware of each other's intentions, and for a moment the two groups that had been vying for the lead hesitated, neither wanting to take the first step.
However, this was not the result that Hua and Chu Yu wanted.
Hua and Chu Yu exchanged a glance in the shadows.
It seems we need to give them a push.
With a wave of his hand, Chu Yu pushed everyone on the shore into the water.
"Oh dear! Chu Yu, why did you push Tu Er and the others down too?"
Hua looked at Chu Yu in surprise, but Chu Yu said nonchalantly, "They're all the same."
Hua tugged at Chu Yu's sleeve, frowning slightly, "How can they be the same?"
"Are those Tu Er and the others?"
"He's our friend, haven't you forgotten?"
Chu Yu sensed the emotion in Hua Yu's voice and immediately corrected his attitude, "I didn't see it clearly just now, I'll pay attention next time."
Hua looked at Chu Yu helplessly. Of course, she knew that Chu Yu hadn't considered Tu Er and the others at all, so she could only say, "Then what do we do now?"
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow. "Let's wait."
"What about them? Are we just going to ignore them?"
"Didn't we say earlier that we should let them go and see what the situation is like down there?"
Hua was a little worried. Although she wanted Mo Lin and the others to go first, she only wanted them to suffer a bit, not to actually cause them any trouble.
Seeing Chu Yu's nonchalant attitude, Hua couldn't help but poke Chu Yu's side and ask, "Chu Yu, when you used your divine sense to check, how dangerous was the bottom of that pool?"
"Are they in danger?"
Chu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression turning serious. "Liao Liao, who are you worried about?"
"Are you worried about Tu Er?"
Looking at Chu Yu, Hua had no doubt that if she dared to nod, Chu Yu would kick her into the pond.
He said helplessly, "Chu Yu, don't overthink it. Even if it's Mo Lin, I don't want anything to happen to him."
“Take Mo Lin for example, he doesn’t have any major grudges against us. As for Tu Er, needless to say, we’ve been through thick and thin together. If they die here because of me, I will never forgive myself.”
"Alright, even without us, they would still go down for their own benefit."
"I just gave them a push."
Hua looked at Chu Yu seriously and called him only once, "Chu Yu."
Her blemished eyes stared intently and directly at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu sighed softly, having no choice but to compromise under Hua's watchful gaze.
"Okay, I'll help if there's any danger."
Upon hearing Chu Yu's assurance, Hua immediately beamed with joy.
"Chu Yu, you're the best."
Chu Yu sighed softly. If she agreed, it meant he was the best; if she didn't agree, it felt like he was treating her badly.
What a heartless little brat!
But,
I raised them myself, so now I have no choice but to suffer the consequences.
The two waited on the shore for quite a while, but there was still no movement from below.
The water remained perfectly calm, which was rather unusual.
Hua couldn't help but pace back and forth on the shore.
Unable to contain herself any longer, Hua walked over to Chu Yu, who was sitting quietly nearby, and nudged him with her small hand. "Chu Yu, I can't see anything. Can you look down and see what's happening? There's not a sound at all!"
Chu Yu was pushed to the shore by the flower, and helplessly used his divine sense to scan the bottom of the pool.
Upon closer inspection, a problem arose.
His previously nonchalant expression gradually turned serious.
The flowers beside them couldn't see what was happening below, but they could see that Chu Yu's expression had become very serious, and their hearts were also in their throats.
Two small hands tightly gripped Chu Yu's large hand, not daring to disturb him, for fear that he would be distracted.
A moment later,
"Chu Yu, what's wrong? What happened down there?"
Chu Yu looked at Hua with a serious expression. "Liao Liao, I'm afraid we should go down there too."
Hua immediately realized, "Is it that serious?"
Chu Yu smiled easily and said to Hua, "Not really, it's just that they woke up an old guy who was in hibernation."
After hearing Chu Yu's explanation, Hua was even more worried for Tu Er and the others.
Even Chu Yu called him an "old guy," so he might not be so easy to deal with.
Without further delay, the two nimbly entered the pool.
