Chapter 179 – Been Captured! (2/2)

However, her body belongs to fire, and very soon the heart of phoenix in her body generated the strength to contend against the coldness. She was also reborn in the lake.

As she swam down, ready to examine the depths of the lake, a powerful three-eyed ice toad came to hara.s.s her.

She did not race against it. Instead, she increased her speed and darted towards the darker depths of the lake.

The toad that closely chased after her sensed a new prey entering the water, immediately abandoned the pursuit of Lu Qiji and intercepted Chu Xun diving into the water——

It turned to a battle between Chu Xun and the three-eyed ice toad. This was the reason that Li Muyang, Lin Canghai and Qiandu heard those noises.

Lu Qiji continuously swam directly to the bottom of the lake, and then drilled into the funnel-shaped bottom

Pa—

She suddenly appeared at the doorway of Stupa City and entered into an astonis.h.i.+ng palace.

But, how did Li Muyang also come along?

Did he also discover this peculiar place inside this lake? Or was he attracted by something else?

“I'm so stupid. Why did I do something so foolish? Why did I jump into the cold lake after I heard the toad ate you? You don't like me anyway, and we aren't friends——Why should I accompany you if you die?” Li Muyang grumbled. He was still in a state of panic and regret. “If my parents know that I'm dead, my parents would be upset to death. Li s.h.i.+nian will also be hurt to death, you caused me a lot of trouble——”

Lu Qiji gaze wandered around while remaining calm and collected when she asked: “You jumped down the cold lake to save me?”

“If I didn't?” Li Muyang suddenly turned, his furious eyes staring at Lu Qiji. “If not because of you, why would I jump into this lake? Why would I be hunted by the toad? Why would I fall into this strange place where birds doesn't even s.h.i.+t? Why did you come to this place? Broken Mountain is so enormous, are other places not enough for you to play around?”

Lu Qiji's beautiful, thick eyelashes fluttering as she blinked, glaring at Li Muyang's handsome face. Although she looked angry but her eyes were full of worries and she was unable to bring herself to utter harsh words like before.

No matter what, he jumped down the cold pond because of me, this boy does not seem as annoying as I knew——

No, he is still very annoying. He still deserves to die.

However, he also has a likeable side.

For example, he risked his life to save me——

“I didn't tell you to jump down.” Lu Qiji said stubbornly. However, her voice was a lot gentler, warmer and less tough as before. She was not like the boulder that she was before, where whoever ran into her would be covered with a face filled with blood. “You're not a child, you should be responsible for your own actions.”

“Of course I'm responsible for my actions. But shouldn't you also be responsible for your own actions?” Li Muyang snapped back. “Don't make people who care about you worry, is this not the most basic morals that a good person should have? You're arrogant, spoiled, and don't care about others' feelings or even life. A woman like you——why did I jump down to save you? Water must have gotten into my head for me to do that?”

“You——”

“What? Am I not right? Are you not like that?”

“My affairs——”

“Your affairs are none of my business, right? I want to intervene, I have to intervene——” As Li Muyang spoke, he took a large stride toward Lu Qiji.

Agitated, he reached out and dropped his hand upon Lu Qiji's shoulder, then explained with a cool yet affectionate expression: “I just want you to consider carefully beforehand, and I don't want see you encounter any danger. Also don't make the people who care about get upset——So, let go of the sword in your hand. You've already been taken captive by me.”
