Chapter 66.1 (1/2)
At this moment, Xiao Tangqiu felt despair. There were always dead-end roads and it seemed that this time, he couldn’t avoid it!
Under the water, the woman in the red kimono got closer and closer to him with her half gorgeous and half horrifying face.
Finally, those bonelessly soft and extremely cold hands wrapped around his neck and waist again. At this moment, the air in Xiao Tangqiu lungs was completely exhausted and he closed his eyes in despair.
Just before Xiao Tangqiu completely lost consciousness, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him and something warm and soft pressed against his lips, pushing a breath of air into his mouth.
His lungs, which were on the verge of exhaustion, were finally revived. The warm and dry fresh air made him sober up and he subconsciously wanted to ask for more.
Saved! Finally saved!
Was he saved?
In this kind of desperate situation, who would have come to rescue him?
Xiao Tangqiu’s mind was in a state of chaos, and when he dizzily opened his eyes, he met the dark eyes of Shen Yuan.
It turned out to be Shen Yuan.
It really was Shen Yuan…
Xiao Tangqiu felt a sense of “of course” and fatalism. Shen Yuan’s appearance felt unexpected… but also an expected feeling.
Finally having escaped death, he couldn’t help greedily sucking in the air in Shen Yuan’s mouth. It was only a moment later that he realized that they were still at the bottom of the river and surrounded a group of drowned ghosts. He hurriedly pushed Shen Yuan away.
Xiao Tangqiu regained a little control and quickly took out the advanced ghost exorcism talisman to exorcise ghosts. But when he turned around, he found that the drowned ghosts and the gorgeous woman in the red kimono had disappeared… The only ones left under the water were Shen Yuan and him.
Shen Yuan looked at him through the river. In the poor lighting, his face was half-lit and half-dark. Before Xiao Tangqiu could fully make out the outline of the face in front of his eyes, an arm wrapped around his waist.
It was Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan frowned, seeming dissatisfied with Xiao Tangqiu’s pushing action just now and hugged his waist and swam up towards the surface.
Just as Xiao Tangqiu surfaced on the river, he heard Tang Mianmian shout from the shore, “Qiuqiu! Xiao Tangqiu! Are you okay?”
He looked back and found that Tang Mianmian and everyone in the Reincarnation Team, including the Miko, was standing on the shore, and shouted back, “I’m fine!”
Shen Yuan hugged Xiao Tangqiu’s waist and humphed, “Almost died and still saying it was all right!”
Xiao Tangqiu finally returned to the ground and quickly took huge breaths of fresh air. He sighed from the bottom of his heart. It felt good to be alive!
“Qiuqiu, what happened just now?” Tang Mianmian leaned over and asked worriedly, “We were walking along just fine but you suddenly rushed to the river and jumped down. We couldn’t stop it! It was like you were crazy! No, it’s like you saw some treasure!”
Duan Hongzhen crossed his arms and asked with bad intentions, “I’m afraid it’s not a treasure, but a beautiful woman, right? Just like the rain woman that day?”
As soon as Duan Hongzhen spoke, Shen Yuan’s expression sank.
Xiao Tangqiu felt a lot of pressure for a moment, but still bit the bullet and spoke, “I did seem to have seen something unclean…”
He succinctly stated what happened just now. When he talked about the woman in the red kimono, Shen Yuan’s expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
After he finished speaking, Duan Hongzhen made fun of him, “Before, it was a beauty in a white kimono, this time it is a beauty in a red kimono. I didn’t expect you to be so seductive that all the ghost beauties are watching you.”
Tang Mianmian looked surprised and asked, “You said that when we were crossing the bridge, you suddenly saw a woman in a red kimono in the middle of the bridge? That’s not right! We didn’t cross the bridge at all, there is no bridge here!”
Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback and quickly turned his head and looked around. As expected, there was no bridge in sight. There was only a dark and deep river between the two banks.
The river seemed to have stopped flowing. Under the darkness of night, it was like stagnant water.
At this moment, a gust of chilling wind blew and Xiao Tangqiu, who was soaked, instantly felt a chill go down his spine.
Yu Fuling looked at Xiao Tangqiu and Shen Yuan, who had just climbed up from the river, and frowned, “You should change your clothes first.”
Xiao Tangqiu was about to move, but the always silent Miko suddenly spoke, “No, there is indeed a bridge here.”
