Chapter 1748 - 1743: I’ll Wait for You
"The end of this cave seems to be a water pool, and the water in that pool is very, very cold. We usually don’t get close to it."
Xiaobei, upon hearing her words, immediately took a keen interest, "Oh? A water pool? Take me to see it!"
"Alright!"
Even though she didn’t know why Xiaobei was interested, she didn’t refuse because she knew Xiaobei must have a reason for doing so.
Since just now, she had become more convinced of Xiaobei, so whatever Xiaobei said, she truly believed without any condition.
...
The cave was deep and somewhat dim!
For the average person, coming here would be quite troublesome, but fortunately, neither Xiaobei nor Lin Ya was ordinary.
So, even in such a dim environment, they could still see particularly clearly.
Seeing cobwebs everywhere, Xiaobei realized this place was indeed rarely visited by people.
"It looks like you don’t come here often."
"Yes, before, I brought a few people to explore here, but since then, basically no one comes here anymore because no matter how you look at it, it’s just a deep pool."
"That’s true!"
Chuckling lightly, Xiaobei continued walking forward...
After passing a bend in the path, Xiaobei felt a chill.
Xiaobei knew this chill was emanating from the deep pool she mentioned...
"It seems that the deep pool is really not simple!"
Praising it, Xiaobei continued to walk forward.
Lin Ya took a glance and quickly followed up.
Five minutes later, they got closer to the deep pool!
At this point, Xiaobei’s breath could be seen clearly.
"The temperature here has really dropped below zero!"
After murmuring to himself, Xiaobei suddenly thought of something.
Without hesitating, Xiaobei turned to look at Lin Ya.
Seeing her cheeks slightly blue, Xiaobei quickly said, "The temperature here is really too low, maybe you should wait for me outside!"
"Little Brother Xiaobei, what are you talking about! I’m the guide, how can I wait for you outside."
"Well... that’s true!"
Nodding slightly, Xiaobei quickly took off his coat...
Soon, Xiaobei came to her side and put it on her without hesitation.
After putting it on, Xiaobei smiled lightly, "Although it can’t completely block the cold, it might help a bit."
"Yes!"
Responding, she gently pulled at the coat and at this moment felt very warm.
Before, she didn’t have a chance to interact with the opposite sex; she thought they were like tigers. Now, she realized she had been somewhat subjective before because they weren’t as scary as imagined, on the contrary, they were quite easy to get along with.
Afterward, Xiaobei and she moved forward once more, and three minutes later, they reached the edge of the deep pool.
The temperature here had dropped even further compared to before.
Even Xiaobei needed to circulate Nine Wood True Qi; otherwise, he might really freeze.
"Seems like it’s colder here than before!"
Hearing these words, Xiaobei looked at Lin Ya, who was tightly wrapped in his coat, "Was the temperature here warmer before?"
"Yes! Before, the temperature here was a bit higher, though not much, it was indeed better than now."
"I see!"
Nodding lightly, Xiaobei shifted his gaze to the deep pool, discovering it wasn’t frozen.
"It seems my guess was right!"
Smiling lightly, Xiaobei reached out and touched the water in the deep pool; the moment he touched it, a chill ran up him from the soles of his feet to his hair.
"This water is truly extraordinarily cold!"
After praising it, Xiaobei withdrew his hand.
"Little Brother Xiaobei, have you seen enough? Let’s go out!"
Upon hearing Lin Ya’s gentle urging, Xiaobei shook his head lightly, "I’m not done yet, I plan to go down!"
"Go down? Go where?"
Seeing her confused look, Xiaobei pointed at the deep pool in front of them.
Lin Ya stared at Xiaobei in disbelief, "Little Brother Xiaobei, you... you mean to go in there? Are you crazy?"
She really didn’t know what to say...
In her view, Xiaobei must be crazy.
Because no sane person would make such a choice, after all, this place was indeed very deep.
She didn’t know how cold it was inside, but she believed it must be much colder than here, so going inside was truly not a good choice.
"I’m not crazy!"
"Then you must be joking with me!"
Laughing, Xiaobei spoke again, "I’m not joking with you either; this is what I intend to do."
"But this..."
"Don’t worry, I won’t have any problems! But you still better wait for me outside, after all, I can’t wear too many clothes when jumping in, right."
Hearing Xiaobei say this, Lin Ya understood what Xiaobei meant, and immediately, a blush crept up her cheeks.
"Little Brother Xiaobei, you really shouldn’t go; if you want to take a bath, there are plenty of places, even where I live has a bathroom, I can let you bathe as long as you wish!"
Glancing at Lin Ya, Xiaobei shook his head slightly and said, "Do you think I’m just planning to bathe? No, I want to see what’s below."
"This is just a deep pool; whatever’s below has nothing to do with us, right."
Hearing Lin Ya’s words, Xiaobei shook his head gently, "You’re wrong, what’s inside has a lot to do with us because it concerns whether the small boat you use to navigate the array can be repaired!"
"Little Brother Xiaobei, you mean the key to repairing the boat is in there?"
"Yes, it is! So today I must go down; otherwise, in the future it will be really troublesome for you to come and go."
"Little Brother Xiaobei, don’t you understand the array? Can’t you modify it? Or can’t you think of an alternative method?"
"I can, but those methods are quite troublesome, so if it can be repaired, it’s better to fix it directly."
Before, Xiaobei had considered various methods, but honestly, those methods were quite troublesome, so unless absolutely necessary, Xiaobei wouldn’t really use them.
"But going down there is really dangerous!"
"That’s for others; for me, it’s not very dangerous!"
While responding, Xiaobei directly began stretching, realizing she couldn’t persuade Xiaobei, Lin Ya bit her lip, "Since you’re determined to go down, then I agree, but I have to watch over here, so I can rescue you if there’s any danger!"
