Chapter 129 Visiting the Strange Cave
Chapter 129 Visiting the Strange Cave
With Lin Qianxiu hanging behind him, even though the cave was dimly lit, Sect Leader Jiang consciously used his hands and feet to try to shake the person behind him further away.
Lin Qianxiu wisely kept her distance to avoid being provoked if she looked up.
The passageway went uphill and then sloped down. Jiang, the sect leader, had no time to worry about anything else and rushed forward. Before long, the view in front of him opened up considerably.
With a push of his palms, Jiang Changsu leaped out.
Unfortunately, a head sneakily peeked out from the downward-sloping exit, right in front of Jiang, the sect leader, who was rushing down the slope.
Jiang, the sect leader, gave a light shout and realized that the person who came was Luo Sifan. He stared blankly at the beautiful woman who looked like a big white fish emerging from the cave.
Jiang Changsu was extremely vigilant and poised to strike, but in an instant he had to retract his palms, which tumbled down.
Even if Luo Sifan was stupid, he would have known to reach out and catch him. With a soft thud, he caught the tumbling Jiang Sect Leader.
He had heard strange noises in the passageway and crept quietly to investigate, but he never expected to be caught hugging Sect Leader Jiang the moment he popped his head up.
The two stared at each other, frozen in the dimly lit cave.
"Sect Leader Jiang, what brings you here? And..."
Luo Sifan asked instinctively, his hands almost slipping through his fingers as they reached out. The slippery surface was so smooth it seemed to have been soaked in the stalactite and coated with a light oil.
"And you're talking about me!"
Jiang Changsu felt a little embarrassed, but mostly annoyed. If Luo Sifan hadn't sneaked into this godforsaken place without a word, would the two of them have risked their lives to chase after him?
With a rude flick of her left hand towards Luo Sifan, Jiang Changsu's expression changed drastically as her arm went out of control and softly draped over Luo Sifan's neck.
Jiang Changsu let out a soft "hmm" and her hand trembled abnormally several times in Luo Sifan's hand.
"You noticed it too? The energy channels here are sealed. It was like this when we first arrived."
Luo Sifan noticed Jiang Changsu's unusual behavior. Having just experienced it, he immediately recognized it. He held the slippery, almost collapsing person in his arms and explained the strange phenomenon in the cave in a low voice.
Jiang Changsu was thrilled. He tried several times and, just as Luo Sifan had said, his Qi and Dao body seemed to have disappeared, and he was completely unaware of them in this place.
At the exit of the passageway, Lin Qianxiu also climbed nearby and heard the conversation between Luo Sifan and Jiang Changsu.
"Lin Xiaozhi! What happened to you over there?"
Lin Qianxiu braced herself against the cave wall to avoid slipping out, and asked Luo Sifan and Jiang Changsu in surprise and doubt.
"Don't come in yet! Something's strange in the cave!"
Luo Sifan was overwhelmed when he saw that Lin Qianxiu had also come, and quickly called out towards the passageway.
"All right!"
Lin Qianxiu reluctantly agreed, lying in the passageway, feeling anxious and suppressing the urge to jump out.
Now that Luo Sifan and Jiang Changsu are facing danger together, completely naked, she is not only worried but also extremely concerned.
"If that's the case, why didn't you leave earlier!"
Even with her excellent self-control, Jiang Changsu couldn't help but complain about Luo Sifan.
Luo Sifan didn't offer any explanation, but just chuckled:
"No rush, let me take you to see a place first."
After she finished speaking, Lin Qianxiu pricked up her ears and heard Luo Sifan walking around.
"Put me down first!"
Jiang Changsu's coquettish voice rang out.
"No rush. The sect leader is still adjusting after arriving. I'll let go once his blood and energy are circulating more freely."
Luo Sifan responded in a leisurely voice, every word reaching Lin Qianxiu's ears.
Even though she knew the conversation was perfectly normal, Lin Qianxiu was still so angry that she pressed her palm hard against the stone wall of the passageway.
She dared not imagine what these two, already deeply in love, would do if they were no longer able to hear her.
Jiang Changsu was suddenly struck by an unexpected change, and his blood and qi surged. He was indeed weak and powerless for a moment, and he stopped being stubborn.
Luo Sifan seemed to have thoroughly explored the area. Holding Jiang Changsu in his arms, he moved nimbly without the slightest hesitation.
Jiang Changsu's nascent soul was also greatly restricted here, and he could only scan the place around him with his naked eyes.
I could vaguely make out that this was an ordinary cave, except that it was too round, like an upside-down bowl.
It was no more than twenty feet in diameter, and the ground was covered with fine sand, which also shimmered with a faint watery sheen.
The dome of the sky twinkled like stars, and Jiang Changsu couldn't quite tell how high it was. She had the illusion of gazing at the night sky from a mountaintop, the stars distant and untouchable.
"Lin Xiaozhi, what exactly is that thing on the ceiling of this cave? It's flashing."
Jiang Changsu looked somewhat bewildered and murmured a question.
Luo Sifan sighed softly, somewhat admiring Jiang Changsu's discernment:
"Sect Leader Jiang, aren't they just stars? Aren't they beautiful?"
"Star?"
Jiang Changsu felt that Luo Sifan was teasing her. How could there be stars for you to see in a stone cave buried hundreds of feet underground?
"Elder Lin, don't spout nonsense. I'm not in the mood to sit here and look at the stars with you!"
Jiang Changsu turned her head to gaze at Luo Sifan's handsome profile, her voice soft and gentle, half teasing and half complaining.
Luo Sifan smiled faintly, glanced down at Jiang Changsu, whose bright eyes were wide open, staring at him with an air of certainty, reflecting the starlight familiar to Luo Sifan.
Lin Qianxiu vaguely heard something different in their tone, as they started talking about watching the stars together. Her hands went limp, her eyes stung, and she almost slipped down the corridor.
When did she ever joke with Luo Sifan like that? It was just some mindless line from a book she'd casually flipped through out of boredom and tossed aside!
Now, however, the sounds were being poured directly into her ears, and she almost wanted to cover her ears to prevent those childish, ridiculous, and flirtatious banter from assaulting her again.
Luo Sifan knew the way well and stepped onto the far end of one side of the stone cave.
The sound was unusual, as if someone had stepped out of a shallow pool and onto a dry stone surface.
When Jiang Changsu was puzzled, Luo Sifan lightly patted her buttocks:
"Sect Leader Jiang, please stand here for a while!"
He bent over and gently placed Jiang Zongzhu's legs, who was gritting his teeth and glaring, onto the stone surface.
Jiang Zongzhu's jade feet touched the ground, and it was indeed a smooth, dry, and chilly stone surface.
Luo Sifan stood up, and his left hand naturally slid to Jiang Changsu's waist, where he gave her a tight hug.
Jiang Changsu's qi and blood were unstable, and his lower limbs were weak. Leaning against Luo Sifan's chest made him more stable and less tired, but the strange feeling of full contact made Jiang feel dizzy and his heart race. He unconsciously made some noises.
"Hold on tight!"
Luo Sifan stared intently at the rock wall in front of him, and when Jiang Changsu's blood and qi were disordered, he casually gave her a word of advice, and the arm around her waist sank a little deeper.
Jiang Changsu almost got lifted up by Luo Sifan by the waist as she touched the ground with her toes.
Squeezed and struggling to breathe, Jiang Changsu frowned in annoyance, glaring at Luo Sifan's chin, wanting to raise her soft hand to punch that annoying chest.
Luo Sifan was completely unaware of Jiang Changsu's little actions. His lips moved, uttering some ambiguous words. He stretched out his right hand and wrote and drew on the stone wall in front of him, carefully outlining the lines on the stone wall.
Jiang Changsu glanced at Luo Sifan out of the corner of her eye. She had initially thought Luo Sifan's actions were just a trick to fool her, but at a certain moment she stopped her hand and, like Luo Sifan, stared intently at the stone wall.
"They're silent? What are they doing?"
Aroused by the two people's soft, ambiguous sounds, Lin Qianxiu, who had used her golden core hearing to the fullest, gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "Hearing it is uncomfortable, but not listening is even more uncomfortable." At this moment, Lin Qianxiu glared fiercely at the exit of the tunnel, and was about to leave.
What do you mean her cultivation is locked and her meridians are blocked? Isn't this just a pair of scoundrels ganging up on her?
As the eldest daughter of the Lin family and a princess, how come she had never heard of such a strange place?
