Chapter 202: Reunion in the Spirit Dragon Cave

The sudden suffocation left Long Qi stunned for a moment, and by the time he reacted, he had already been dragged into the Water Mirror.

This Water Mirror was not as calm as it appeared; after being pulled into the water by the Spirit Fragrance Technique, Long Qi fell into a vortex. He did not know how long he struggled in this vortex, only remembering that his whole body grew very cold, and then he lost consciousness.

He did not know how much time had passed, but while sinking, Long Qi suddenly remembered Lingxiang's deeply furrowed brows beneath the Pengla Jade Tree, and he jolted awake.

"Lingxiang!" Long Qi shouted as he sat upright, only to discover that he was in a mountain cave. He was about to get up when he found his whole body in pain; looking down, he saw he was wrapped in fine cloth, and beneath him was a thick layer of dry grass.

A cave? Dry grass? Had he been dragged into a bear's den to be kept as emergency rations!

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Long Qi's head; with his current injuries, he might not be able to beat a bear!

Wait...

Would a bear bandage someone? And where did these injuries on his body come from? Long Qi checked his body and found his legs and feet were still there, so he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, he hadn't become a cripple...

Seeing that his limbs were intact, Long Qi began to ponder: he clearly remembered that when he fought Bai Wuchang, he hadn't sustained any injuries, right?

That's right! And there was Bai Wuchang!

Lingxiang had dragged him into the water, but what about the others? He remembered hearing Lingxiang shouting for everyone to jump into the water quickly when they fell in. If that was the case, then was this place Yunmeng Marsh? And where were the others?

Just as Long Qi was deep in thought, he suddenly heard movement at the cave entrance, so he hurriedly lay down and pretended not to be awake.

Before long, a petite figure came to his side and touched his forehead. It was then that Long Qi raised his hand to grab the person's wrist and, with a roll, pinned her onto the dry grass.

"Ouch! What are you doing! Let go! You're hurting me!"

The person cried out, and it turned out to be a woman; only then did Long Qi realize that the person he had pinned down was Lingxiang. He hurriedly let go and helped Lingxiang up.

"Ouch, really now, I was kind enough to treat your wounds, and you, on the contrary, actually repay kindness with enmity, really, really!"

Long Qi carefully examined Lingxiang to see if she was injured anywhere, especially her legs, but found that Lingxiang was completely unharmed. Listening to Lingxiang's nagging, Long Qi's heart immediately settled, and he pulled Lingxiang into his embrace.

"It's good that you're okay! It's good that you're okay!"

Long Qi's sudden hug left Lingxiang stunned; it took her a few blinks to come back to her senses. While gently patting Long Qi's back, she comforted him: "I am perfectly fine, what could happen to me? It's you, hurry and lie down, you still have wounds on your body. With such big movements, be careful that your wounds don't tear open; it was hard enough for me to bandage them for you."

Perhaps because his guard was down, he hadn't felt it before, but after Lingxiang said that, he really felt the pain in his body was unbearable. Long Qi let out an "ouch" while letting go of the tension in his body.

"Look, look, I told you so, why are you so reckless? Now look, the wounds have definitely torn open again." Lingxiang complained as she helped Long Qi lie down; sure enough, blood was seeping through several pieces of fine cloth on his chest.

And so, Lingxiang went through another round of work, tearing off the blood-soaked cloth, reapplying medicine to stop the bleeding, and bandaging him up again, all while nagging about Long Qi's recklessness and carelessness.

Although Long Qi was in some pain, listening to Lingxiang's muttering, he seemed to enjoy it very much, and he kept a silly smile on his face the whole time.
