She seemed surprised that Gu Mu would come to her rescue.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He then raises his hand upwards, a gesture typically reserved for survivors.
Gu Mu subconsciously grabbed Shen Ling's hand, wanting to pull her to the shore.
Unexpectedly,
Shen Ling, however, seemed to be pulling him down.
"Your Highness, the underwater world is truly beautiful." Shen Ling's hair was loose, and her beautiful hair was scattered all over the ground, creating a sense of drifting beauty in the water.
"???" Gu Mu.
Shen Ling held his hands tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
A downward force pulled him down, and the two of them gradually sank to the bottom of the water.
Gu Mu had heard that drowning people lose consciousness and cling tightly to the rescuer's hand as if grasping at a lifeline, which makes the rescue more difficult.
It could even cause both the rescuer and the person being rescued to fall into the water.
It gradually sank.
We reached the depths of the water.
Everything was silent.
Looking at Shen Ling's calm and smiling face, Gu Mu couldn't tell that she had been frightened to the point of losing her mind.
But what if everyone reacts differently when they are frightened?
Afraid of upsetting Shen Ling, Gu Mu went along with her words and said, "Yes, the underwater scenery is truly beautiful."
It is indeed beautiful.
A few playful little fish swam past them.
Like a water sprite, its ethereal beauty is amplified by the depths of the water, adding a touch of liveliness.
"Does Your Highness ever wish to stay here forever?" Shen Ling asked without any fear.
They kept sinking.
The further down she went, the brighter the smile on Shen Ling's face became.
Gu Mu felt as if insects were burrowing into his palm, trying to penetrate his skin and get into his flesh.
However, Gu Mu's body had been strengthened, so the insect failed to succeed; instead, it made him feel an itchy and tingling sensation.
He looked at the smile on Shen Ling's face.
He knew that Shen Ling hated him to the core, but he chose to let the two of them be buried together at the bottom of the water in this way.
This guy must be crazy.
Even if we take a step back and assume he's worth Chen Ling dying for, would he be worthy of it?
But Chen Ling continued to smile, and the stars in her eyes gradually brightened.
—How wonderful! Just thinking about His Highness and her hovering on the brink of death fills me with uncontrollable excitement.
Insects are nothing to worry about.
It's just a very ordinary little bug that bites and temporarily paralyzes the muscles and nerves in a person's arm, making them unable to exert any strength.
Of course, since it's such an ordinary little insect, it will die after biting someone.
She didn't know,
Gu Mu had already quietly crushed the insect to death.
He seemed to have guessed the purpose of the insect that was Shen Ling, and pretended that he couldn't exert any strength in his arm.
They sank to the bottom of the water together with Chen Ling.
This is probably Gu Mu's perverse sense of humor.
I'm doing my best to perform in line with your performance.
He had just thought about it carefully, and Shen Ling would never let him die so easily.
But this action rendered him powerless. How will Shen Ling resolve this situation?
He was very curious.
Shen Ling would certainly not let Gu Mu die so easily.
She just wanted to experience the thrill of watching Gu Mu hover on the brink of death.
This stimulation made her heart beat faster and faster.
It gave her a real sense of being alive in this world.
"I was just teasing you, Your Highness." Shen Ling slightly raised her body, like a mermaid, and pulled Gu Mu upwards.
I will never let you die so easily.
no way.
Ma Shishi, who was on the dragon boat, was initially flustered when she saw Gu Mu stepping on the water and then jumping into the water to save Chen Ling.
Only if Shen Ling dies will she have a chance to win His Highness's heart!
Her eyes were filled with madness.
However, after the water began to calm down and His Highness jumped into the water to save Chen Ling, there was no further movement.
Did Your Highness fail to rescue Shen Ling?
Were they buried together at the bottom of the water?
Ma Shishi's eyes were filled with astonishment. She only wanted Shen Ling to die, but she never thought about His Highness dying!
Even the soldiers who had been relieved to see His Highness go into the water and had stopped in their tracks began to look at each other in bewilderment.
Finally, they looked at each other and decided to dive into the water to rescue the prince.
Then I saw His Highness and the Queen rush out of the water together.
Before they could even see clearly, His Highness had already lightly stepped on the water, embraced the Princess, and flown into the carriage.
—A few minutes ago.
After the princess said she was just teasing him.
Gu Mu suddenly gripped the princess's hand tightly and calmly said, "Are you kidding me?"
"What a coincidence, me too."
princess:"……"
She felt the strength in Gu Mu's hand and knew that his weakness just now was an act.
Two drama queens.
"I'll consider your suggestion." Gu Mu didn't rise with Shen Ling, but instead hovered in the water.
With a serious expression, he exclaimed, "The underwater world is truly beautiful!"
Shen Ling: "..."
The two remained still in the water for a long time.
Fortunately, both of them were martial artists and had internal energy to protect them, so they were able to move around quite freely in the water.
"Explain why you can swim?" Gu Mu asked.
The capital city is far from the sea. If Shen Ling were truly a well-bred young lady who rarely left her home, she wouldn't be able to swim.
Even the strange and unorthodox methods of the Shenling Society, as well as her martial arts skills, puzzled her.
I just hadn't had the chance to ask before.
But things are different now.
Looking at Gu Mu's expression, Shen Ling couldn't tell if he was joking or if he really had a momentary impulse to stay underwater.
After all, based on her understanding of Gu Mu, he was eccentric and his style of doing things was unpredictable.
Although the possibility is very small...
