She didnât come outâ¦.
With a bang, Huan Yinâs (girl) leg crumbled as she felt her body falling to the ground . Thereâs so much pain in her eyes that she felt distraught at being the cause of someoneâs death: âI owe her my life, twice at that too!â
âI will go have the elder council come look for her, this river is far too deep to search with only us here!â Clenching his fist hard, the womanizer Xun Huan still couldnât forget the brave image of Bai Yan jumping into the water at a momentâs notice.
He never thought someone would be so self-denying that they would sacrifice themselves for others!
âBrother Huan Yin, this wouldnât be appropriate,â Mu Lengâs wrinkled brow showed she didnât approve of the plan. âYour brotherâs condition isnât very stable recently and the elder council is busy with their own matters, how can they come and save a single person? And⦠she already entered the bottom of the river, thereâs no way she could be aliveâ¦.â
The implication of those words were too obvious â quit wasting time and effort because the personâs dead.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou shut up!â The womanizer shoots a harsh glare at the impudent girl with his bloodshot eyes. Heâs fuming and easily provoked at the moment.
At first Mu Leng still didnât know how to react, but that shocked look soon turned to disbelief because itâs the first time the man yelled at her. And, its for a strangerâ¦.
âMu Leng, I thought you were only a proud natured person so I didnât mind that part about you, at least you werenât conceited in my view. But now Iâve seen the truth! You cowered in fear. I canât fault you for wanting to keep yourself safe, after all, being self-protective is human nature. What I canât accept is you lying to these people who believed in you. If you werenât going to protect them then why did you promise what you did?!â
âIâ¦â Mu Lengâs complexion had turned pale at the accusation. She didnât know how to respond to the manâs interrogation.
âOh Mu Leng ah Mu Leng, Iâm such a fool. To think I had wanted to pursue a woman like you. Youâre not a proud woman at all, youâre nothing but a self-centred fake who knows nothing of kindness and promise!â
Trembling in the corner of her lips at the last part, the woman wanted to defend herself. Unfortunately for her, she didnât even get to chip in a single word before the conversation was cut off by the first girl who got swept into the water.
âI saw it clearly. The one who saved me is the lady from before. Sheâs a kind person. To think she would go so far for strangers like us,â that whimpering voice was crystal clear so pretty much everyone on deck could hear her.
Guilt could be seen across the board in everyoneâs eye right now. They didnât forget their ridiculing words from earlier despite having no reason to do so.
âSir Xun Huan, if the elders arenât willing to take action then Iâm willing to send my familyâs elites to come help in the search.â
âMe too! We canât sit back and watch when someone like that is in need of help!â
â¦â¦
Meanwhile all of this was occurring above water, Bai Yan on the other hand was busy confronting the two big lizards who caused this whole mess to begin with.
In truth, she couldâve released her son to deal with them using the bloodline pressure at the start. In that case none of this mess wouldâve occurred. However, this was after all not the mainland. If she leaked her sonâs identity then it wouldnât be good and might even bring danger along their way.
So, here they are, out of sight and without anyone to pry into their business. Imagine the two dragons discovering the one they dragged away werenât some pretty damsel in distress, rather itâs a ferocious beast that carried an even scarier beast that could make them tremble in great fear!
