Chapter 1718 - Face-slapping, Round 8 (1)

Seeing the way the teenager was bravely embracing his death, Feng Wu couldn’t bring herself to watch.

Little Phoenix prompted Feng Wu. “What are you waiting for? It’s none of our business, so let’s just pretend that we never met him. Just run...”

But Feng Wu didn’t move.

No matter how many times Little Phoenix prompted her, she still just stood there.

The situation was so urgent that each second counted, but Feng Wu just wouldn’t move, which frustrated Little Phoenix and the prince.

Meanwhile, Feng Wu racked her brain.

There had to be a way. There had to be...

There had to be a way to keep everyone alive...

Suddenly!

Feng Wu snapped her fingers and grew excited.

The prince and Little Phoenix looked at her in bewilderment.

Feng Wu couldn’t contain her excitement, and she laughed. “I know what to do! We can all live!”

How?

The prince and Little Phoenix looked at Feng Wu, both feeling perplexed.

Feng Wu looked around in excitement. Soon, she saw a muddy shoal.

Judging by the texture and color of the mud, Feng Wu knew that it would work!

“Go, go, go!” She dragged the prince toward the shoal.

Both the prince and the bird were confused.

What idea had Feng Wu come up with?

But they didn’t dare to ask and chose to trust Feng Wu unconditionally.

If Feng Wu had an idea, it would work!

She dragged the prince to a spot beside a rock, where the ground was harder.

She then dug a hole deep enough for one to lie in before she pointed at it and told the prince, “Get in!”

The prince hesitated. “Do you mean what I think you mean?”

Feng Wu nodded.

Seeing the muddy ground, the prince looked uneasy. “M- Miss Feng, are you sure about this? If I lay in there, I’ll probably be buried in less than five minutes...”

Feng Wu had no time to explain it to the prince.

He would sink easily into the mud if he was standing up, but if he lay down, with the bigger surface area, it wouldn’t be so easy to sink.

Moreover, when rescuing someone sinking into a swamp, the best way was also to have them slowly roll out of the mud...

But it would be time-consuming to explain such things to someone who had no knowledge of physics, and time was what Feng Wu didn’t have now.

So, she looked into his eyes and asked the prince, “Do you trust me?”

The prince nodded repeatedly.

She kept staring at him. “Are you going to follow my instructions?”

The prince nodded.

“Good. Now, get your ass down there.” Feng Wu pointed at the pit she had just dug.

To prevent the prince from falling in, she even put a wooden plank at the bottom of the pit.

With no other choice, the prince had to lie down in the pit.

As soon as he entered, Feng Wu piled the mud on him and covered him up.

The prince was covered with mud until only his eyes could be seen, but the rock could block him from sight.

“As long as you don’t make any noise, Six won’t find you,” Feng Wu warned the prince. “Just hide here. If I don’t come for you by this time tomorrow, you’re on your own!”
