It shouldn't be like this!
Xie Jing's eyes were bloodshot. He stared fixedly at the petite figure. He had clearly come looking for Qin Jiujiu!
His eyes were red. He glanced at the figure in his arms. It shouldn't be like this. He looked at the increasingly blurry figure, the red in his eyes deepening.
Xie Jing let go without hesitation and plunged towards the lakebed with all his might.
"Plop..."
Xie Yun entered the water. Before Bai Qianluo could sink, he grabbed her. His brows furrowed. Disregarding everything else, he scooped up Bai Qianluo and swam towards the surface.
Qin Jiujiu's consciousness was not yet completely scattered. For some reason, she heard Xie Jing's voice. His voice was so anxious. She thought he was calling for Bai Qianluo, but what she heard was, "A'Jiu!"
She sneered in her heart, mocking her own overestimation and her own wild fantasies!
Just now, he hadn't even glanced at her. His gaze was tightly fixed on Bai Qianluo. Perhaps he hadn't even realized there was another person at the bottom of the water!
"A'Jiu!"
The voice was getting closer and closer. She wanted to open her eyes, but she had no strength. She could only feel her body sinking.
She thought, perhaps she was going to die!
Not by Xie Jing's hand, but to be buried at the bottom of this lake. Besides being cold and lonely, it was at least better than being strangled by him!
The figure before her was getting closer and closer. He could see the expression on her face, but the clearer it became, the more his heart ached!
Qin Jiujiu's hair spread out underwater. Her fair complexion now looked even paler. Xie Jing stared at her bloodless lips, feeling a panic he had never felt before.
It shouldn't be like this!
He reached out his hand towards Qin Jiujiu. He was just about to touch her clothes, but she suddenly moved further away.
If he hadn't rescued her in time just now, how could she have become like this!
"Yes! You didn't even look at her just now. She saw everything. Do you know how heartbroken she was to not even struggle..."
The voice in her heart spoke again. Xie Jing was suddenly surrounded by a mass of demonic energy. The demonic energy seemed to sense his unsteady mind and wanted to drag him into darkness, to possess his body!
The demonic energy was faster than him. It had already wrapped around Qin Jiujiu and lifted her up.
He instinctively reached out to catch her. It was only when he felt the presence of the person in his arms that his heart gradually calmed down.
But it still hurt!
The voice continued, "Look, only by cooperating with me can you..."
He moved towards Qin Jiujiu's pale lips and kissed her, slowly prying open her teeth to give her breath.
The demonic energy seemed to sense that it could not gain anything at this moment, and it gradually dissipated.
There was silence all around. The hand on her waist tightened, and the temperature on his lips was bone-chilling.
He was originally someone who wasn't afraid of the cold, but he felt that Qin Jiujiu's body temperature was extremely low. Feeling her chill creeping onto him inch by inch, his heart felt as if it were being frozen, without any ripples.
Like a stagnant pool!
He couldn't feel any warmth from her body, only a bone-deep coldness. Her breathing was very weak, so weak that it seemed on the verge of disappearing. He tightened his grip, his lips drawing even closer.
Only when he felt her breathing gradually strengthen did he release her lips and swim towards the surface.
The hand around her waist, however, did not dare to relax for a moment.
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in the lake. The light rose from the bottom of the lake, growing stronger and stronger, until it enveloped the entire lake.
Bai Qianluo woke up just in time and saw the scene before her – the entire lake was enveloped in a strange blue light, and they were within it.
Everything around them gradually blurred, and the scene before them transformed into something else.
As the environment changed, their consciousness was gradually drawn away.
Xie Yun suddenly grabbed Bai Qianluo's hand. She looked at him, and the panic in her heart gradually dissipated.
System: "Because the villain's behavior was abnormal, the current plot has changed drastically. The mission taker has entered the plot, so an extra character has been added to this chapter!"
Anzhou.
The sky above the grasslands was bluer than the central plains. White clouds dotted the sky, and the land was dotted with white sheep, indistinct and scattered. The royal family of Anzhou was located in the center of the grasslands.
Anzhou Royal Family.
The maids wore green gauze with golden threads, complementing the intricate lotus embroidery on their chests. They formed a long line and entered the princess's palace, moving like flying swallows. The lotus and silver threads on their skirts were faintly visible as they moved, and the bells at their waists outlined their slender figures, emitting crisp ringing sounds with their movements.
Each of them wore a light veil, their partially hidden eyebrows adding to their mystery, making one want to catch a glimpse of their faces!
"The Princess Consort has risen!"
The maid guarding the hall looked at the petite figure on the bed and called out towards the door. The maids waiting outside the hall then entered.
The woman on the bed sat up. The personal maid beside her was about to help her, but she waved her hand. The maid looked at her and saw a pair of bright, almond-shaped eyes.
"A'Dai, has the Second Prince risen?"
A'Dai hesitated, wanting to say something but not. She thought, "The Princess Consort is waking up so late, and the Second Prince rises early every day to practice. Isn't this question pointless?"
But she still replied respectfully, "The Second Prince rose before dawn!"
A'Dai waved her hand at the maids behind her, and the other maids rushed forward. Soon, many people surrounded the woman called the Princess Consort.
After a flurry of activity, the woman's face was adorned with exquisite makeup. She was dressed in a blue outfit, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, water mist, and green grass, and draped in a light blue, shimmering veil.
Her hair was styled in a drooping bun, with a镂空 gold hairpin inserted diagonally, adorned with specks of purple jade, and a tassel falling onto her dark hair.
The woman had a pair of large, pitiable eyes, with a shimmering gaze. Her face was delicate and small, with cherry lips and a jade-like nose. Most beautiful were her large, sparkling almond eyes.
"A'Dai, do I look good?"
A'Dai nodded, not perfunctorily. The person before her was clearly as beautiful as a fairy, words like "beautiful" were insufficient to describe her.
It's just that the Second Prince didn't like her.
She had been in the Second Prince's palace for many years and had personally witnessed the Princess Consort and the Second Prince's marriage for a year. The Princess Consort's affection for the Second Prince was evident, but the Second Prince...
"I heard yesterday that Sangsang rescued a man in the outside world? And he was very handsome?"
After a year of marriage, the Princess Consort still referred to the young princess this way. This year, the Princess Consort's maiden heart remained.
Although A'Dai thought this, she was very fond of this young Princess Consort. She replied, "The little princess is being punished right now!"
Xingru said, "The King dotes on Sangsang so much. The punishments she has received over the years are countless, yet she has never been harmed..."
