The school’s little wild cat is cute and sweet

Chapter 140 The Exit is Underwater

Spider-web-like cracks began to appear on the ground, and the sound of a building collapsing could be heard faintly in the distance. The fantasy world was gradually collapsing.

The two quickened their pace to find an exit.

"Leng Che, will the exit really be in the swimming pool?" Mu Qianxi asked.

"Not sure." Leng Che shook his head, but there was no time. The speed of the illusion's collapse would gradually increase, and the time he had to force his way into the illusion was almost at its limit. The old monk could wake him up at any time, and he had to take her away before that.

He asked, “What are you most afraid of?”

"I'm afraid of water and pain..." She thought for a moment and added, "I'm also afraid of the Eleventh Palace."

Leng Che: "..."

Seeing that he was speechless, Mu Qianxi hurriedly explained: "It's really scary in the water! There may be all kinds of ghosts and monsters haunting you, making it difficult for you to breathe! And everyone is afraid of pain! And the Eleventh Palace, Leng Che, you haven't seen him, he is really, really scary! I feel like he is going to burn me with fire at any time!"

He wanted to burn her to death right now! What a heartless man!

Leng Che was so angry that his back teeth were about to break, but he dared not say anything. He could only pull her and quicken the pace, walking forward sullenly and silently.

Mu Qianxi was aware that the air pressure around him was not right, and asked him in confusion: "Leng Che, what's wrong with you? Why are you angry? I'm talking about my own business, why are you angry?"

He said stubbornly: "No."

"Then why don't you say anything? You responded to everything I said just now, even if it was just a "hmmmm"."

"..., Mu Qianxi, if you keep making noise, just leave by yourself." He now deeply regretted asking her this question, it was just to get into trouble!

Mu Qianxi quickly held his hand tightly again, shut her mouth obediently and followed his steps, thinking: The heart of a beautiful woman is as unpredictable as the sea.

When they arrived at the swimming pool, they found that the pool was completely different from what they usually saw. It was pitch black and dead silent. Mu Qianxi immediately thought of the river in the Divine Weapon Secret Realm that seemed calm on the surface but was actually filled with murderous intent. The fear and suffocation of being entangled by a dead body under the water instantly came back to her mind, making her face pale.

Leng Che saw the abnormal water surface and knew that there were dangers under the water, but it also meant that the exit was likely there. Seeing her feet were as if filled with lead, he squeezed the little hand hidden in his palm, then lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes were calm and gentle, which comforted her uneasy heart a little.

Then he placed the amulet in her palm, looked at her deeply, and his voice became much gentler.

"Wait for me here, I'll go down and take a look." His tone sounded like he was coaxing her.

Mu Qianxi reached out and grabbed him almost reflexively, with obvious nervousness and uneasiness in her eyes: "Don't go, there's something in the water."

"The exit is most likely somewhere under the water. Time is running out, we must leave before the illusion collapses, otherwise, we will never get out." Leng Che saw that she was still worried and tugged at his sleeves tightly. He wanted to comfort her, so he deliberately joked to ease the atmosphere, "Mu Qianxi, I want to live a few more years, but I don't want to die here with you."

After hearing what he said, Mu Qianxi was silent for a moment and thought, and finally chose to let go.

She frowned and warned him seriously: "Okay, you can go, but you must not take it lightly! If you really encounter any monsters, swim to the shore immediately, okay? If I don't see you out of the water in five minutes, I..."

Mu Qianxi was stuck, her eyes rolled around, and she said angrily: "I'll just jump into the water to find you!"

"Mu Qianxi, are you threatening me with your own life?"

"That's right." She replied confidently, "You are so smart but you can't escape, so I am even less likely to escape as I am so stupid. Then I might as well lie down and die. Anyway, if you can't come back safely, I will jump from here!"

"Mu Qianxi, why are you so shameless?"

"I have been such a scoundrel, you know that. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, if you die, I will not live either."

Leng Che looked at her with such a desperate look that she had no desire to survive, and he couldn't help but feel angry and amused. He didn't know how she could come up with such a dirty trick to force him to be careful.

He raised his hand helplessly and gently pushed her forehead, saying, "Don't worry, I will come back safely, stupid cat."

After Leng Che jumped into the water, Mu Qianxi's nerves instantly tensed up, her eyes fixed on the calm water surface, her hands clenched unconsciously, and her heartbeat became more and more violent, as if it was about to jump out of her throat in the next second.

Every second of waiting seemed so long to her, as if a day stretched into a year.

Finally, his figure reappeared on the water. Mu Qianxi's heart finally relaxed a little, but when she saw him shaking his head helplessly, her relaxed mood immediately became heavy again.

After taking a few deep breaths, Leng Che dived into the water again without hesitation and continued to search for the secret to leave the illusion.

This scene was repeated over and over again, and Mu Qianxi's mood was like a roller coaster, up and down. Every time she saw him enter the water, her heart would tighten; and every time he emerged safely, her heart would temporarily settle down.

This extremely tense state made Mu Qianxi feel like she was about to be driven crazy...

Seeing the time passing by, he risked his life several times but still got nothing. Mu Qianxi finally couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, and shouted loudly towards the center of the swimming pool: "Leng Che, why don't you come up first! Maybe the exit is not in the water at all..."

Leng Che panted heavily and answered with a firm look in his eyes: "Do you remember the monk from Yuanqi Temple who gave us peace and happiness? Before entering the illusion, he reminded me that only by facing my inner fear can I break through the current predicament. Aren't you always afraid of water? Maybe I overlooked some important clues. I will look for it again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and dived into the water again without hesitation. However, this time, time passed by, but he never surfaced again...

Mu Qianxi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe. She called out to him anxiously, but her calls seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss and received no response.
