Chapter 1707 - 1702: Talk to Me More
"Wow, it’s really dark here. Those so-called extreme sports enthusiasts who act all cocky in front of me should come here and take a look. I bet they’d be scared out of their wits."
Following behind Xiaobei, Shangguan Xue excitedly glanced around.
At this point, Shangguan Xue had gradually adapted to the darkness here, so she wasn’t as tense anymore.
Walking in front, Xiaobei squinted his eyes upon hearing Shangguan Xue’s words, "Wet their pants? That’s an exaggeration!"
"Not an exaggeration, absolutely not. Those guys who think they’re above everyone brag in front of me just because they’ve been in the game longer. In reality, they aren’t that skilled, so if they came here, they’d be petrified."
Mentioning those people, Shangguan Xue’s face was full of disdain...
Shangguan Xue is very beautiful, so everywhere she goes, she’s surrounded by a crowd...
Even in extreme sports, it’s no different...
These people constantly crowding around her make her weary.
Especially when they brag in front of her because they started earlier, it disgusts her even more.
That’s why she hopes they all come here to witness it, so they wouldn’t dare to brag in front of her anymore.
Knowing that Shangguan Xue genuinely dislikes those people, Xiaobei chuckled, "Then next time, you can bring them here to take a look."
"It’s what you said, so you better not go back on your word."
"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t!"
"Hmm!"
As they joked around, they ventured deeper...
At that moment, it was exceptionally silent around them...
Every step taken was clearly heard, even their breaths were audible.
"Why does it feel like your heartbeat is much faster than before? Are you nervous?"
Continuing to walk, Xiaobei teased Shangguan Xue.
Xiaobei wasn’t lying; he could indeed feel her heartbeat speeding up, much faster by quite a bit...
Her eyes twitched as her secret was exposed, quickly defending herself, "No way, I feel the same as before!"
"Then maybe I’m mistaken."
After saying that, Xiaobei suddenly stopped.
Once he stopped, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt her bump into him hard.
"Hey, you stopped, why didn’t you say anything!"
Hearing this complaint, Xiaobei was a bit speechless, "It’s because you were absent-minded, that’s why you didn’t notice me stopping."
"I wasn’t! It’s just because you stopped suddenly."
"Alright, let’s not talk about this. There are two paths ahead; which one do you think we should take?"
"Two paths? I can’t see anything!"
Upon hearing Xiaobei’s words, Shangguan Xue looked carefully, but could only see a dark mass.
Feeling her confusion, Xiaobei laughed, "The entrance is three meters ahead."
"Three meters ahead? I can’t even see my fingertips when I reach out, and you’re telling me three meters ahead?"
"Maybe your eyesight isn’t great."
Rubbing his nose, Xiaobei looked at her, continuing, "The cave on the left is a bit larger, while the one on the right looks more like a tunnel; not sure where it leads. Which side do you think we should take?"
"Of course, the right side!"
"The right side is hard to walk."
"Hard to walk is fine; you’ll lead the way."
Upon hearing this slightly timid response, Xiaobei looked at her, noticing her cheeks slightly flushed.
"That’s pretty cute!"
Softly praising, Xiaobei shook his head, saying, "Even with guidance, it’s not enough. There are too many sharp rocks you can’t see; you’d easily get scratched."
"What should we do then? Are we going back?"
Feeling dejected at being turned down, she sighed!
Going back like this, she was really unwilling.
"I can carry you over."
"Carry me?"
Thinking about the intimate scenario, her face became even redder.
Soon, she looked towards Xiaobei standing not far away, asking, "Master Xiaobei, are you purposely taking advantage of me?"
Upon hearing such a deduction, Xiaobei’s lips twitched strongly.
"Please, I’m doing it for your sake. If you see it that way, then we’d better head back."
"No, I don’t like giving up halfway."
"Then if you don’t agree for me to carry you, what should we do?"
"I can agree, but you can’t tell anyone."
"Alright! I absolutely won’t tell anyone!"
Xiaobei quickly promised.
Upon hearing such a serious promise, she made up her mind, "Come a little closer and squat down!"
"Sure!"
Decisively agreeing, Xiaobei walked over to her.
Soon, Xiaobei squatted in front of her.
She felt it and tried bending over.
A dozen seconds later, she was carried by Xiaobei.
"Even lighter than Xinxin!"
The moment he lifted her, Xiaobei made this observation.
Being held by Xiaobei, she could feel Xiaobei’s strong heartbeat and smell the intoxicating masculine scent.
"No wonder Xinxin surrendered so quickly. Turns out he really has some exceptional qualities."
"Okay, we’re setting off now!"
"Eh? Okay!"
Randomly agreeing, she slightly tightened her grip on Xiaobei’s neck.
Xiaobei smiled, and with more force, he held onto her fair, beautiful thigh.
...
A few minutes later, she muttered softly to herself...
"It’s really tough to walk here; luckily, he carried me. Otherwise, my feet might have twisted several times by now."
Hanging onto Xiaobei’s back, Shangguan Xue hadn’t personally felt how rough it was but knew it was really hard to walk.
So at that point, she was glad to be held close by Xiaobei.
"Eh? Seems like there’s a whole new world here!"
After walking forward for more than ten minutes, Xiaobei squinted his eyes.
Previously, Xiaobei and Xinxin had been here, but then Xiaobei merely browsed through casually.
Now, with ample time, Xiaobei examined carefully, discovering the Jade Vein here extends deeply, seemingly reaching further depths.
"Seems like we’ve hit the jackpot this time!"
Muttering to himself, Xiaobei walked to the rock wall, gently touching it.
"Xiaobei, have you found something?"
Upon hearing this address, Xiaobei’s lips twitched...
Previously, she called him Master Xiaobei, but later she said Xinxin calls him Xiaobei, so she changed it.
"I noticed the Jade Vein extends further into deeper areas."
"You mean the Jade Vein is larger than it appears?"
"Yes, and it feels significantly larger."
"That’s good news!"
Glancing at her, Xiaobei squinted his eyes, "Good news for me, not necessarily for you!"
Upon hearing Xiaobei’s words, her eyes twitched and she got nervous, "What do you mean? You’re not planning to back out from our collaboration, are you?"
Feeling her tension, Xiaobei laughed and spoke, "I did have that thought just now. But on second thought, it’s better not to; having a good reputation is more important than money."
"That makes sense."
Shangguan Xue breathed a long sigh of relief...
Shangguan Xue knew she only had a verbal agreement with Xiaobei, so if he really broke ties now, she wouldn’t have any solutions...
Seeing her relax, Xiaobei smiled gently and said, "Alright, you’ve learned enough about the Jade Vein here, let’s head back!"
"Alright!"
Agreeing, Shangguan Xue looked at Xiaobei and suddenly spoke softly, "I really understand much about the Jade Vein now, but I don’t know much about you as a partner. Can you tell me more about yourself?"
Upon hearing such interest, Xiaobei’s eyes flashed with a hint of mischief, exaggeratedly exclaiming, "Oh my, why are you asking so much? You... you haven’t fallen for me, have you?"
