Chapter 69

Little Dragon Maiden looked at Li Mochou's firm profile, and a sentence flashed through her mind.

"In life, we share the same quilt; in death, we share the same grave."

Little Dragon Maiden began to ask herself if she could do the same thing as her senior sister.

"It doesn't seem too hard... this would also count as staying in the Ancient Tomb forever."

After half an incense stick of time passed, the faces of the two women began to look ugly.

Suddenly, movement came from afar.

They turned their heads at the same time to look at Hong Hong Lingbo, who was running over.

Hong Hong Lingbo was panting heavily, but she didn't stop for a moment. After running over and seeing that only the two women were present, tears rolled down.

"Master! Brother Gu never came up after jumping down from the Ancient Tomb side; did he come up from this side?"

It turned out that Hong Hong Lingbo had been guarding the pool by the Ancient Tomb; although she knew that if things went smoothly, Gu Gu Hanyuan would go directly from the passage to the outside, she hadn't seen him come up, and she started to worry as well.

She had originally opposed Li Mochou's plan, but she hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter at the time.

The longer she waited, the more anxious she became, so she ran over.

Seeing Little Dragon Maiden shake her head.

Suddenly, all the strength in her body was lost, and she knelt on the ground, her eyes dull.

She blamed herself very much because she was the one who reported the news to Gu Gu Hanyuan, and she didn't stop him from jumping down.

Even though Little Dragon Maiden had always been indifferent to external things, she couldn't maintain her composure at this moment.

"I'm going to save him."

After Little Dragon Maiden dropped this sentence, she jumped into the pool.

Li Mochou hadn't spoken, her expression terrifyingly calm.

"So this is the punishment for me?"

Li Mochou thought about her life since meeting Lu Lu Zhanyuan; because of love, she turned to hatred, became ruthless, and killed countless people.

Every moment, she was torturing her cold heart.

It was Gu Gu Hanyuan who gave her warmth, gave her light, and gave her the idea of starting over.

Yet, because of her own momentary willfulness, she lost him.

"Ask the world, what is love? That it makes one promise life and death."

Li Mochou chanted softly and walked towards the pool.

At this moment, there was not a trace of Lu Lu Zhanyuan's shadow in her heart; she just wanted to go down and accompany Gu Gu Hanyuan.

She couldn't let him sleep alone in the cold pool.

Hong Hong Lingbo, awakened by Li Mochou, looked at her with confusion.

Seeing her walking step by step into the pool, the water soon soaked her skirt again.

"Master!"

Although Hong Hong Lingbo was also very sad, she didn't expect Li Mochou to be so resolute.

It was just that she didn't understand what it meant to be most afraid of giving hope and then making someone despair.

In her ears, she seemed to hear again the clear and gentle voice of Gu Gu Hanyuan, who saved her from Qiu Qiu Chuji's sword when they first met.

"Are you alright, Miss?"

She still remembered his gentle and caring gaze, and the hot, large hand that lingered on her waist.

Even though the cold pool water had already submerged Li Mochou's waist, the places that had been touched seemed to still be burning.

For the first time, she had some care for a man other than Lu Lu Zhanyuan.

Listening to him defend her and angrily rebuke the Quanzhen Sect, she felt inexplicably inferior; was she really worthy of being defended by someone as brilliant as him?

When he cared about her junior master Little Dragon Maiden and her fellow disciple Hong Hong Lingbo, she was even a bit jealous.

He didn't look at her differently after knowing her identity, and that sudden understanding awakened the grievances in her heart.

"Fairy Li, are you in pain because you were just hurt by the Quanzhen Sect? Would you like me to vent your anger for you?"

She still remembered the emotion in her heart when he said this at the time.

The water submerged Li Mochou's neck, but her expression still didn't waver.

Watching him fight six people alone, heroic and spirited, fighting the crowd, she was even more attracted by his every word and action.

Breaking into the Big Dipper Formation, she originally wanted to repay the favor of him saving her once, but as a result, she was saved by him again when she fell into a crisis, and she owed him more and more.

"Two silly girls, don't add to the trouble."

That slap seemed to have dispelled the hatred that had been torturing her for years.

"Fairy Li, has the anger been vented?"

One sentence warmed her heart.

When he discovered that her body was sensitive, the shame in her heart was greater than the anger, and there wasn't even a trace of disgust.

The "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" and the truth about her master made her collapse, but it also resolved the hatred for her master and the jealousy towards her junior sister.

Even before leaving, he was still worried about her safety and gave her the divine manual without hesitation, just so she would have more ability to protect herself.

Gently closing her eyes, she sank into the water, without struggle, without resistance, only calm.

He broke into her heart forcefully, erasing Lu Lu Zhanyuan's shadow.

It seemed that from the moment she saw him, her hatred was being dissolved by him bit by bit.

He was like a savior, saving her who she thought was beyond redemption.

If I hadn't seen the sun, I could have endured the darkness.

"Gu Hanyuan, I've come to find you."

Li Mochou's consciousness gradually blurred.

Gu Gu Hanyuan was sitting cross-legged on a protruding rock in the passage.

The secret passage under the Ancient Tomb was actually an underground waterway.

And there were numerous tributaries, so there were a large number of undercurrents; if an ordinary person didn't have a map, it would indeed be difficult to pass.

Before entering the water, he used 1,800 villain points to upgrade the breath-holding secret technique in the "Nine Yin Manual" to proficiency, allowing him to hold his breath underwater for the time of one incense stick.

After figuring out the route, he found a place where he could stay.

At this moment, he was just considering how long it would be appropriate to surface.

Gu Gu Hanyuan had been paying attention to the divine sense trackers on Little Dragon Maiden and Li Mochou.

He saw that Little Dragon Maiden had been moving after jumping into the water, clearly searching for him.

However, not long after, Li Mochou also jumped in, but she didn't move much.

He thought of a possibility and suddenly lost the mood to ponder slowly.

He entered the water from the rock and swam towards Li Mochou.

Sure enough, Li Mochou had already sunk to the bottom of the pool, her eyes closed, and she had already drowned and fallen into a coma.

Gu Gu Hanyuan frowned; he didn't expect Li Mochou to be so resolute.

He swam over quickly, gave her a breath first, and hurriedly brought her to the surface...

Hong Hong Lingbo was feeling sad for Li Mochou when she suddenly heard the sound of breaking water and subconsciously looked at the surface.

"Brother Gu! Master!"

Hong Hong Lingbo shouted in surprise after seeing the two.

Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't have time to pay attention to her; he laid Li Mochou flat on the ground and began to perform chest compressions and artificial respiration.

He suddenly felt a bit of regret; such a good girl shouldn't have been made sad.

When Hong Hong Lingbo saw Gu Gu Hanyuan's actions, she thought he was taking advantage of Li Mochou while she was unconscious from drowning.

After all, for people of this era, drowning first aid really didn't look like something a decent person would do.

But looking at the serious expression on his face, it didn't seem like it, and besides, she didn't believe Gu Gu Hanyuan was someone who would take advantage of others.

Fortunately, Li Mochou coughed up water not long after.

"Mochou! Mochou!"

In her daze, Li Mochou seemed to hear someone calling her, and then she felt a warmth on her lips, and a hot breath was passed into her mouth.

She slowly opened her closed eyes and saw Gu Gu Hanyuan's handsome face full of nervous and excited expression.

And at this moment, Gu Gu Hanyuan's hands were still maintaining the action of chest compressions.

If someone else had done this, they would have been killed by her by now.
