Chapter 1761 - 1756: Don’t Get Too Close
After expressing himself, Hu Xiaobei looked at it again with particular seriousness.
At this moment, Hu Xiaobei was estimating the amount needed.
After estimating, Hu Xiaobei let out a long sigh of relief.
Because Hu Xiaobei discovered that the Submerged Pine he brought back from the deep pool was completely sufficient.
To be honest, Hu Xiaobei was really worried it wouldn’t be enough...
After thoroughly completing all preparations, Hu Xiaobei looked into the distance, knowing that Lin Ya and Jing should be arriving soon.
After all, he had arranged to meet with them earlier, so they would never stand him up.
...
As Hu Xiaobei anticipated the appearance of Lin Ya and Jing, they were on their way...
Glancing at the awkwardly walking Lin Ya, Jing softly suggested, "Sister Lin Ya, let me support you! This way, we might be a bit faster."
Since they had previously arranged with Hu Xiaobei, Jing and Lin Ya had left their place early, heading straight for the meeting point.
Originally, Jing thought they would get there quickly, but now she found she was wrong, because Lin Ya’s pace was terribly slow...
No, it was more accurate to say she was merely shuffling along.
This kind of movement was not only unsightly, but also terribly slow.
Listening to Jing’s suggestion as she gave it her all to shuffle forward, Lin Ya shook her head and spoke resolutely, "No need, I can do it myself."
After speaking, Lin Ya tried to quicken her pace...
This sudden speed up caused her body to tremble...
"That little bastard!"
Knowing that her current predicament was due to Hu Xiaobei, Lin Ya angrily cursed in her heart...
To be honest, after eating, she had already recovered a lot physically.
But she hadn’t completely recovered, so moving slowly was fine, but going any faster was trouble.
Seeing Lin Ya’s body tremble, Jing knew that she really couldn’t speed up.
"If I don’t help her, this short distance will take forever."
Whispering to herself, Jing walked over to Lin Ya, and in her surprised look, supported her.
"I said I can walk by myself!"
With Jing supporting her, Lin Ya quickly spoke.
Feeling Lin Ya’s anger, Jing quickly explained, "Sister Lin Ya, I know you can walk, but you’re just a bit slow. Xiaobei is waiting for us, and it’s not good to be late, right?"
"That’s true!"
Thinking about it, Lin Ya gently nodded.
Seeing Lin Ya agree, Jing quickly supported her forward.
Thanks to her cultivation, supporting someone was effortless for Jing.
"Little bastard!"
Being supported by Jing, Lin Ya continued angrily muttering.
At this moment, she was glad of her considerable strength.
She knew if it weren’t for that, she’d probably still be frustrated and bedridden.
"I really need to find an opportunity to settle scores with that bastard, Hu Xiaobei."
In her mind, she had a little book where she jotted down all of Hu Xiaobei’s wrongs.
She planned to find a suitable time to confront Hu Xiaobei about all of it.
Let him know she isn’t to be trifled with.
...
"Seems like they’re here!"
Hu Xiaobei heard footsteps.
After a soft whisper, Hu Xiaobei turned his head and saw Lin Ya and Jing coming together.
Seeing Lin Ya needing support, Hu Xiaobei smiled.
The originally calm Lin Ya, upon seeing Hu Xiaobei’s smiling face, grew even angrier.
"Little bastard, this little bastard!"
Cursing a few more times in frustration, she added more of Hu Xiaobei’s wrongs to her little mental book.
"Oh dear, looks like I’ve been hated again!"
Taking a look at Lin Ya, Hu Xiaobei muttered softly.
After muttering, Hu Xiaobei walked up to Lin Ya and Jing, and said, "You’re quite early!"
Hu Xiaobei deliberately emphasized the word ’early’.
Letting them know that Hu Xiaobei was clearly being sarcastic...
Knowing they were indeed a bit late, they didn’t argue, but looked at Hu Xiaobei, curiously asking, "Xiaobei, what’s going on? Why does it feel so cold here?"
Since just a while ago, they had been feeling cold.
Initially, they thought it was just an illusion, but now, they knew it was no illusion, because it was getting colder.
"Lin Ya, I mentioned before that repairing the damaged little boat would require Submerged Pine, and I brought it over!"
Gently explaining, Hu Xiaobei pointed to the block of wood emitting a chilling aura in the distance.
They followed Hu Xiaobei’s gesture and saw the block of cold-emanating wood, and immediately, they understood why they felt the chill earlier.
Taking another look at them, Hu Xiaobei chuckled softly, "You can come a bit closer to take a good look, but not too close, or else you might get frostbitten."
Hu Xiaobei knew that their True Qi lacked restorative abilities...
So they needed to stay away from it as much as possible; otherwise, they could genuinely get frostbite.
"We’ll be careful!"
With this promise, the two of them carefully approached.
Lin Ya was very interested in this Submerged Pine.
Because she had never seen it before.
Lin Ya’s companion, Jing, curious about the unfamiliar sight, glanced at Lin Ya and asked.
"Sister Lin Ya, what’s going on? Where did you find this Submerged Pine? I’ve never heard of it before."
As Lin Ya meticulously examined it, she heard Jing’s curious question and recounted the previous events in detail.
After listening, Jing was full of amazement.
Soon, Jing exclaimed with emotion, "I never expected there to be a hidden world beneath that deep pool!"
At the end of her words, Jing’s eyes lit up...
Seeing Jing’s eyes light up, Lin Ya knew she was genuinely interested, and mindful that curiosity killed the cat, Lin Ya quickly advised, "Yes, it’s truly a hidden world, but I advise you not to be curious, because it’s really dangerous there."
Hearing Lin Ya’s earnest warning, Jing knew she was genuinely worried!
Suppressing her excitement, Jing quickly nodded, "Sister Lin Ya, rest assured, I know it’s especially dangerous there, so unless it’s necessary, I won’t approach."
Jing had previously been to that deep pool and knew of its terrors, so she wouldn’t court death...
"That’s good!"
Lin Ya nodded.
Soon, Lin Ya turned her gaze back to the large piece of Submerged Pine.
As Lin Ya turned, Jing took a deep breath and also gazed intently at the coldly alluring Submerged Pine.
Jing noticed that it really was exceptionally unique...
