Chapter 28 Li Yao
Deep beneath the cliffs of the mountains, no one knows how much time has passed...
"Hey, you...you wake up! Wake up! Please, please, waaaaaah~~~"
"Ouch! It hurts so much... Am I... still alive?"
"I really don't want to move at all. My hands... my hands feel so heavy, I can't lift them up."
"Feet too."
"Never mind, I'll sleep a little longer."
Lin Que seemed to hear someone calling in his ear in a daze, but he couldn't move at the moment and his whole body was in great pain.
Gradually, his consciousness faded again, and he drifted off to sleep...
I feel so heavy.
When I opened my eyes again, I was much more awake, and this time there was no more pitiful crying.
What came into view was a peaceful sleeping face lying on her body. The woman was no longer wearing the black mask, and two dried tear tracks still clung to her stunning sleeping face, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
It's heartbreaking...
"Ouch! It still hurts a lot, but it seems much better than before."
"Hmm? You're awake."
Just as Lin Que was about to move around, he saw her glistening eyelashes flutter, and a pair of crystal-like eyes slowly opened, her gaze towards Lin Que filled with surprise.
The woman smiled at Lin Que and said, "That's great! You're finally awake. What... what happened to your body?"
Lin Que remained silent, gazing at the woman's smile, as pure as melting snow, and was momentarily captivated.
The woman had always had a cold and aloof expression, but when she smiled, it seemed as if time itself stood still.
It is breathtakingly beautiful.
The woman felt a little flustered under Lin Que's gaze and stammered, "You... what are you looking at?"
It took Lin Que a while to come back to his senses. After a moment of surprise, he couldn't help but joke, "Hey! You were like an ice block before, but I didn't expect you to be such a different person when you smile."
"I suggest you smile more often in the future."
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately reverted to her cold demeanor: "Mind your own business! How come you didn't fall to your death!"
After saying that, he patted Lin Que's chest with his hand.
"Cough...cough cough! Hey! Be gentle, okay? I'm still injured." Lin Que said, feeling a bit of pain from the pat.
The woman, realizing what was happening, asked in a flustered voice, "Are you... alright?"
Lin Que rubbed his chest and said dejectedly, "I'm fine now, but if you keep filming, something might happen later."
"By the way, where are we now?"
After asking the question, Lin Que looked around and found that the two of them were at the bottom of a cliff, next to a pool of water. The surrounding vegetation was lush and flowers were everywhere. Unexpectedly, the scenery at the bottom of the cliff was quite nice.
And there really is water at the bottom of this cliff, so prayers really do work.
The woman, who had just been embarrassed by Lin Que's words, immediately replied after hearing his question, "We're at the bottom of the cliff now. When we jumped off, I thought we were going to die, but luckily there was a pool of water below."
"You passed out when you fell into the pool, and I had to drag you ashore."
"Oh, right, thank you... thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have..."
Lin Que was taken aback when he heard the woman's thanks, but after understanding what she meant, he waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I've already saved her."
The woman was stunned when she heard Lin Que's words. She wanted to thank Lin Que not only for saving her from Han Tianli, but also for the fact that when they jumped off the cliff, Lin Que pulled her into his arms at the last moment, causing him to fall heavily into the pool with his back to the water.
Thanks to proper protection, the woman was unharmed, and it would be a lie to say I wasn't moved at that moment.
Seeing that Lin Que didn't react, the woman was too embarrassed to bring it up again, so she could only keep her feelings of gratitude to herself.
But at that moment, she had no idea.
In the future, this deep-seated emotion will intertwine their destinies...
Suddenly, Lin Que remembered something and quickly asked the woman, "How long has it been since we jumped off the cliff?"
Without hesitation, the woman said, "Three days have passed. You woke up three or four times in between, only to faint again after a short while."
"However, I must say, your body's self-healing ability is really strong, even though all your bones are broken."
"He looks pretty much fine now, but we don't know if anyone else would have survived."
After saying this, the woman sighed sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Lin Que was shocked. Three days had actually passed! He figured Lian Yue must be panicking.
As for the body's self-healing ability, Lin Que, who possessed the Taiqing Chaos Technique, was not surprised at all. After all, he had discovered this abnormal ability when he first started training in the village.
Lin Que slowly stood up. The woman was about to help him up, but Lin Que waved his hand to indicate that it wasn't necessary. He then moved his hands and feet a little and found that apart from some pain, he was fine.
After looking around again, he said to the woman, "Let's go, we can't stay here any longer, we have to find a way out."
"And there's no guarantee that Han Tianli won't find us at any time."
Thinking of Han Tianli's words, "Even if I die, I want to find a complete corpse," and Qi Lianyue waiting for his return in the village, he felt a surge of anxiety.
The woman agreed with Lin Que's words that this place was not suitable for lingering, and without further hesitation, she immediately set off to leave.
The two walked along the bank of the pool at the bottom of the cliff. Lin Que discovered that the space at the bottom of the cliff was larger than he had imagined, and he wondered when he would find a way out.
An hour later, Lin Que suddenly realized something and said to the woman, "That's right! It's been so long, and we still don't know each other's names!"
"We can't just keep calling 'hello, hello, hello' all the time, can we?"
"Um, my name is Lin Que. What's yours?"
After hesitating for a while, the woman seemed to have made up her mind and said to Lin Que, "My name is Li Yao. Have you...have you heard of me?"
Hearing Li Yao's words, Lin Que looked puzzled and asked, "I've never heard of you. What's wrong? Are you famous?"
Hmm? Does this world have celebrities or something?
Upon hearing this, Li Yao seemed relieved, then shook her head and said, "It's nothing, let's go."
Eager to get out, Lin Que didn't think much of it, and the two walked side by side, continuing to search for a way out.
Three hours later, Li Yao looked at Lin Que with a worried expression and asked, "Are you sure we can get out of here by this road?"
The two walked for four hours without finding a single sign of a way out, and the place was eerily quiet.
Lin Que said somewhat uncertainly, "It should be possible, after all, there's only one way, and the cliff face is so smooth that there's no foothold even if you want to climb up."
Upon hearing this, Li Yao sighed and said, "Ah, you're right."
As the two ventured deeper into the area, Lin Que's brows furrowed more and more deeply as he discovered something strange.
"Don't you think this place is very strange?"
"What's wrong?" Li Yao asked, puzzled.
Lin Que frowned and said, "Logically speaking, even if this is the bottom of a cliff, it should be deep in the mountains, right?"
"But strangely, there isn't a single powerful demonic beast here."
"Along the way, all we saw was birdsong and fragrant flowers, and some small animals."
Li Yao was also startled upon hearing this, and said, "Now that you mention it, it seems to be true. Could there be some kind of powerful being nearby?"
Lin Que stroked his chin and said, "Probably not. If there really is a powerful being, then the aura it emits would be enough to keep all birds and beasts within a hundred miles away."
"But look at these little animals, there are so many of them here."
"Huh? It seems like we've reached the end."
As they talked, Lin Que and Li Yao parted a patch of forest and discovered that the path had come to an end, and there was still a cliff face.
Li Yao said with disappointment, "It's over, we might really not be able to get out." She looked somewhat dejected.
Lin Que gradually began to feel worried. Was he really going to be trapped here?
No, he didn't want to be trapped in this godforsaken place. Lian Yue was still waiting for him to come home, and he hadn't even returned to Lan Xing yet. How could he possibly be trapped at the bottom of a cliff?
While pondering what to do, Lin Que carefully observed his surroundings again, hoping there was some way to leave this place.
"what?"
Through Lin Que's tireless observation and exploration of his surroundings, he actually discovered something.
There was a spot on the cliff that looked remarkably like a door!
A stone gate...
