Chapter 1749 - 1744: This Isn’t an Illusion?
Lin Ya knew that this cave was very long, so if she really backed out, she would be helpless if Xiaobei encountered any problems.
Therefore, she was unwilling to leave, because deep down, she didn’t want anything to happen to Xiaobei, not at all...
Feeling Lin Ya’s determination, Xiaobei knew that she really wouldn’t leave...
Silent for a second, Xiaobei gave in, "Well... you stay here, that’s not a problem! But can you close your eyes for a moment?"
"Huh? Okay!"
Bashfully agreeing, Lin Ya closed her eyes without hesitation.
She knew that Xiaobei was about to remove the extra clothing from his body, as it would be quite difficult to swim with too much clothing on.
Seeing Lin Ya close her eyes, Xiaobei began to remove his extra clothes and after doing so, he moved his body again.
After confirming his body was ready, Xiaobei glanced again at the deep pool, then jumped in without hesitation.
Hearing the splash, Lin Ya, with her eyes closed, opened them.
At this moment, she saw Xiaobei gradually disappearing into the water...
"Brother Xiaobei, you better not let anything happen to you!"
Watching Xiaobei completely disappear, she whispered to herself...
Her heart was racing because she truly feared Xiaobei might never return after jumping down.
Although she hadn’t spent much time with Xiaobei, she had a lot of fondness for him, so she genuinely didn’t want anything bad to happen to him...
...
"Cold!"
As he jumped into the water and swam deeper, Xiaobei’s eyelid twitched...
Initially, Xiaobei predicted it would be colder underwater, so he had been circulating the Nine Wood True Qi earlier.
However, even so, he still felt the cold.
Without hesitation, Xiaobei quickened the speed at which he circulated the Nine Wood True Qi.
As the True Qi circulated, Xiaobei’s body warmed up again.
"I hope this deep pool isn’t too deep, otherwise, I might not be able to reach the bottom."
Xiaobei knew that as he continued downward, the consumption of the Nine Wood True Qi would accelerate.
Therefore, he hoped it wasn’t too deep, otherwise, he really might not have the chance to reach the bottom.
One meter, three meters, five meters...
In this way, the depth of Xiaobei’s dive gradually increased.
Three minutes later, Xiaobei had descended nearly thirty meters, at which point, the consumption speed of the Nine Wood True Qi had doubled.
"Still can’t see the bottom!"
Xiaobei muttered to himself...
"If I’m going to do it, I might as well go all the way!"
Thinking this, Xiaobei continued to plunge downwards.
Xiaobei realized something was off; no matter how he descended, there was no sign of it getting dark around him.
Xiaobei felt this was unusual because it was getting deeper and thus should be darker.
"Could there be a light source here?"
With this thought, Xiaobei took a deep breath and continued diving down.
On the shore, Lin Ya worriedly clenched her fists.
"It’s been nearly ten minutes, and he still hasn’t appeared. What’s going on? Could something have happened?"
The more she thought, the more anxious she became, almost to the point of jumping in.
"No, no, Brother Xiaobei is very strong, I don’t need to panic, I don’t need to panic!"
Suppressing the urge to jump in directly, she continued to wait!
At this moment, Lin Ya braced her whole body...
Always ready to jump in at any moment.
...
"What the heck, is there really no bottom?"
Xiaobei was really uncertain, as he continued to dive deep.
"Looks like there’s no chance today, I’ll come back better prepared next time!"
After diving a bit further, Xiaobei thought it over carefully and decided to give up.
He had two considerations for wanting to give up at that moment.
One was that he wasn’t sufficiently prepared, and the other was that Lin Ya was still waiting at the shore.
Xiaobei knew that if he didn’t hurry back, she would definitely get anxious and might do something unexpected.
With this thought clear, Xiaobei looked up and began to swim toward the surface.
...
"Still hasn’t surfaced, it really seems there might be a problem. I can’t keep waiting here; I need to jump in!"
Worried that Xiaobei might be in danger, she muttered to herself.
After muttering, she set aside the coat Xiaobei had draped over her shoulders earlier, and then, without hesitation, jumped straight in.
So cold!
At the moment her skin touched the water of the deep pool, her whole body shivered...
Quickly, she tried to mobilize the True Qi in her body to adjust herself, but found they were not quite under her control.
"What... what is going on!"
In her panic, she wanted to call out but couldn’t, because her body quickly began to sink.
"Great, I planned to rescue someone, and now I’m stuck myself!"
She mocked herself and then closed her eyes...
She knew she had little chance now, as her body started to stiffen completely...
She didn’t feel very afraid about this; Lin Ya thought she would soon be keeping Xiaobei company.
...
"Huh?"
Swimming toward the surface, Xiaobei noticed something gently sinking and stared in surprise. After taking a closer look, Xiaobei’s eyelid twitched fiercely.
"What crazy move is this? Why did she jump in too? I told her to wait for me!"
Seeing that it was Lin Ya slowly sinking, Xiaobei murmured in disbelief.
Muttering to himself, Xiaobei quickly dashed over.
Soon, Xiaobei reached and embraced the sinking Lin Ya.
"Is someone approaching?"
Feeling herself stop sinking, Lin Ya slowly opened her eyes to find Xiaobei next to her.
"Looks like I’m really leaving this world, or else I wouldn’t be having hallucinations!"
Seeing Xiaobei beside her, Lin Ya silently lamented in her heart...
Xiaobei noticed the look in her eyes starting to fade, knowing Lin Ya really couldn’t hold on any longer...
"No more delay, not even one more second!"
Speaking quickly, Xiaobei frantically circulated the Nine Wood True Qi, and as it filled his entire body, he desperately swam toward the water’s surface.
"Am I dreaming?"
Feeling her body move, she widened her eyes in astonishment...
Soon, she was brought to the surface, which confirmed one thing for her, she really wasn’t dreaming...
Everything she saw was real...
She had truly been rescued by him...
