Chapter 104 – Love Trial Is Difficult! (1/2)

104 – Love trial is difficult!

Li Muyang stood aghast at the sight.

I just mentioned it casually, heavens you're not serious, right? It's just a joke, okay? Do you not have any sense of humour?

“I said I'm willing to carry Cui Xiaoxin through water and fire buy you don't have to immediately let torrents of water gush down the mountain——do you not know that a man's promise can't be put to test?”

LI Muyang even wanted to commit suicide.

The deep booming noise came closer and closer until it sounded like a constant crash of thunder in the ears.

A wave of white surged down the mountainside.

As if charging and breaking through the enemy lines, it came cras.h.i.+ng down in the direction of Li Muyang and Cui Xiaoxin, sweeping away obstacles, eroding the mountain and breaking off trees along its way.

Li Muyang's mouth widened slightly to say something but nothing came out in the end.

Cui Xiaoxin was frantic with worry, screaming: “Li Muyang run——hurry run—–”

Li Muyang finally reacted, his limbs unfroze, tossing the branch in his hand aside. He dashed down the slopes.

This was the mountain road he managed to climb up after much difficulty, but now he has to head back down and at a much more rapid pace.

Crackle—–

The incessant sound of the breaking branches grew closer.

Behind, were torrents of water grumbling and growling like a pack of mad dogs chasing after them.

“Put me down—-put me down—–” Cui Xiaoxin's voice sounded increasingly anxious. “You can't run with me on your back—–Li Muyang, you can't run faster than the torrents. Hurry let me down.”

“I can't.” Li Muyang said firmly. “No matter what happens, I will not leave you behind. If we leave, we leave together; if we die, we die together—–”

“Li Muyang.” Cui Xiaoxin anxiously cried: “do you have any idea you're going to die. The torrents will drown you. You're an idiot, let me down—–”

“I know that. If I let you down, you would also die—–” Li Muyang said.

He is not a fool, how would he not know of the current situation?

Gallons of water came cras.h.i.+ng down from above, this was most likely because a levee had collapsed.

Nameless Mountain rears into the clouds and the torrents thundered down from its summit, then the force and weight won't be less than ten thousand pounds? How could Li Muyang's ordinary body withstand its power?

Besides, he was carrying Cui Xiaoxin on his back; if he left Cui Xiaoxin and fled himself, she would definitely die, but if he tries to escape with Cui Xiaoxin on his back then they would die together—–under such desperate circ.u.mstances, how could Li Muyang make a decision?

The incessant rumbling got louder as the waves slapped at his legs.

The explosive rumble of water got closer and closer, the water lapping at their b.u.t.tocks.

The floodwaters had reached Li Muyang's ankle, with the slightest mistake he will be engulfed by the wave behind.

“Li Muyang, put me down, I need to come down——” Cui Xiaoxin screamed. Cui Xiaoxin who was always quiet and calm became anxious and her voice was shrill and loud.

Li Muyang ignored her, continued to wade through the ankle-deep water with her on his back.

“Li Muyang, put me down, put me down——” Cui Xiaoxin desperately smacked Li Muyang's shoulder.

Li Muyang clenched his teeth and did not utter a word.

He would never let Cui Xiaoxin down and escape by himself, even if it means he would die.

“Li Muyang——-” Cui Xiaoxin eyes reddened and her voice began to choke with sobbing. “Put me down, put me down———”

Crash—

A huge wave crashed over them. Li Muyang's body was pushed over by the force of the raging torrents.

The mighty torrents engulfed them completely, sweeping away Li Muyang and Cui Xiaoxin from the surface of the floodwater.

Rumble——

Torrents of water continued to pour down at a terrifying speed.

Birds flew off and animals tried to escape.

Boulders were sliding down, forming deep cracks in the mountain. It looked as if the water from the heavens was trying to erode Nameless Mountain itself.

“Ah——–” Li Muyang's head suddenly broke the surface and he rose up out of the water. His body drifted forward by the swirling currents, and his eyes frantically darted back and forth: “Cui Xiaoxin—-Cui Xiaoxin——-Cui Xiaoxin where you are? Cui Xiaoxin, say something——–”

Waves slapped against his back, causing him to lose his balance, he stumbled and fell to the ground. Without the chance to crawl up from the ground, the torrents beat him down again.

His body plunged underwater. He made a concerted effort to finally rise from the ground and managed to finally make his head surface out of the water. But only to find that Cui Xiaoxin has disappeared.

Presumably during that split second he fell to the ground he did not hold on tight so he lost Cui Xiaoxin.

Li Muyang's eyes brimmed and his lids turned red. He shouted until his voice had gone hoa.r.s.e: “Cui Xiaoxin——Cui Xiaoxin say something. Cui Xiaoxin——–”
