Chapter 168 (2/2)

The weight made her unable to swim to the surface. Instead of going up, she kept sinking.

She lowered her head and looked at the child in her arms. He was looking at her with a wooden face, but his captivating red little mouth was slightly raised.

Was he taunting her?

At first, Ning Xuemo just wanted to put her short blade on his neck and threaten him. However, both of her hands were currently occupied and that idea died before it could be applied.

Then, she was hit with inspiration. She brought her red lips near his ear. “Little friend, if you’re playing a trick again, I will just bite off your ear!”

It was really inconvenient to talk underwater, so she decided to stick close to his ear in order for him to hear her words, though her voice sounded somewhat strange.

As soon as she was done speaking, she used her mouth to suck on his ear lobe and, to make her point clear, her little teeth sank into his ear lobe…

The ginseng child’s body became stiff in an instant and his body weight became lighter. Now, it resumed to the weight of a normal child.

‘He can be obedient!’

Ning Xuemo was pleased and let go of his ear. She swam to the surface.

Finally, they reached the surface. Ning Xuemo breathed in a mouthful of air. Although only 15 minutes had passed, many things happened during that time which left her extremely tired.

The silvery moonlight shone down, illuminating the delicate child in her arms. Being so close, she could see that his facial features were extremely beautiful, perfectly refined like a crystal doll.

Ning Xuemo could not remove her sight from it…

“What are you thinking?” Eventually, the little child spoke. His voice was melodious, like a crystal bell ringing under the wind, with a trace of a cold feeling similar to giant glacier mountain.

“Why don’t you guess?” Ning Xuemo gave an enigmatic reply before she smiled widely at him, showing four little bright teeth.

His blue ocean eyes gleamed as he said, “I can’t guess.”

“Hn… Then, you don’t need to guess. In a moment, you will know. If you behave, I won’t mistreat you.” Ning Xuemo appeased him with a smile while she swam to the shore.
