Chapter 179: Hostage

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Mu waded through the water toward Duan Yue.

“How did you get tied here? Where’s Murong Xun?” Qiao Mu looked at Duan Yue with incomprehension. She reached for the rope around his wrist and lightly tugged.

It was quite comical actually. After Mentor Murong escaped from the Spirit Binding Rope, she tied Duan Yue to the tree…

It was heaven’s will that Duan Yue was so unlucky.

Duan Yue: ‘Don’t think I can’t see you rejoicing in my misfortune just because you have a stoic face.’

Qiao Mu untied Duan Yue. As soon as his hands regained their freedom, he quickly dragged Qiao Mu through the water toward the sh.o.r.e.

The tides from the waters rose very fast. It nearly surpa.s.sed Qiao Mu’s shoulders in a few minutes.

However, because the city’s terrain was fairly high, the water would not flood into the city no matter how much it rose.

The duo had no choice but to swim toward the sh.o.r.e after a minute of wading.

“What havoc are you wreaking with Peak Master Murong?” Duan Yue looked back and asked with bewilderedness as he paddled through the water. “I already explained to her that I wasn’t friends with you! But there’s something wrong with her! She insisted on confining me here as a hostage and said you’d come back to save me! But when I was tied in the water, you had no idea I was here…”

‘That’s right! If I knew you were here, I wouldn’t have bothered to come back!’

Qiao Mu’s lips twitched, and she did not stop swimming toward the sh.o.r.e.

What time did they have to waste their breath? Hurrying to the sh.o.r.e was the real objective. For some reason, she still felt a chill on her back. She felt like that insane mentor wouldn’t spare them so easily…

“Eh? Do you feel like the water sounds louder?!” Duan Yue kept swimming forward but did not forget to look back and give Qiao Mu a hand. The girl had such short little limbs, she definitely could not swim as fast as him.

Qiao Mu also heard the thunderous sound of water, as though it was drawing closer to her ears.
