Feng Chen pulled Yu Qing Qian and jumped into one of the whirlpools and kept spinning up and down with the surging river water.
Yu Qing Qian had a hint of cunning in her eyes. She stretched out her arms and hugged Feng Chen’s waist tightly.
Feng Chen’s body stiffened, then soon returned to normal.
Such intimacy hadn’t happened for more than a decade, but instead of rejecting it, he felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.
At the age of two, Yu Qing Qian would often pretend to be pitiful in front of him and reach out for him to hug her.
When he got tired of being pestered, he would pick her up with a dark expression.
Then she’d hold his waist tightly and tease him or play tricks on him or act spoilt.
Time had passed by inadvertently, but the memories in his heart would remain forever, treasured and engraved in the depths of his soul.
If those moments of eating, living, sleeping together while acting so pampered and bright hadn’t happened, the Yu Qing Qian now would definitely never have been able to get close to Feng Chen, let alone leave a deep mark in his heart.
An hour later, the whirlpool rolled the two of them, together with the six people who jumped in, onto a rock.
Yu Qing Qian let go of Feng Chen as soon as they landed on the rock. Although she wanted to tease sick beauty more, but the timing wasn’t good right now.
The people stood up and looked around after standing firm.
Surrounded by reefs and river water, it seemed like it was completely separated from the previous river.
What’s this place?” Yue Yun Yang asked.
Feng Chen pointed in a direction and said: “It should be an underground river. There are several powerful auras of magical beasts and demonic plants heading in that direction. It definitely won’t be wrong following them.”
“Alright, let’s go.”
Feng Chen didn’t let go of Yu Qing Qian’s hand and kept pulling her forward as they swam.
An hour later, a bright light suddenly appeared on the originally dark river bottom. It was a cave.
The several people swam into the cave vigilantly, and the scene inside could be seen through at a glance.
The cave was bright as if a luminous pearl was embedded in it. At the top of the cave, a nine-coloured lotus was in bud. As the surrounding light continued to intensify, it gradually began to bloom.
The cave was very big, and several magical beasts and demonic plants were fighting in a melee inside, earth-shattering.
After discovering Feng Chen and his party, they stopped the fight amongst themselves and attacked them with the same goal.
Feng Chen pushed Yu Qing Qian to the entrance of the cave and said: “Just stand here, if anyone’s injured, help treat them.”
Yu Qing Qian knew that sick beauty was worried about her safety, and felt warm in her heart, “Alright, be careful.”
After Feng Chen received Yu Qing Qian’s affirmative reply, he immediately rushed forward with the others.
The seven of them had been completing missions as a team for more than three years. Everyone had good tacit understanding and cooperation, and they quickly joined forces to kill half of the magical beasts and demonic plants.
Especially Feng Chen—he made a contract with a silver-white Moon Light Herb, known as the ‘Seed of Life’. It not only had the ability of automatic healing and powerful attacks, but also had the power of devouring.
A silver armour wrapped around Feng Chen’s body, giving him a somewhat arrogant and domineering aura in his otherworldliness.
Circles of purple light flew out from his fingertips and a silver longsword in his hand was waved about, simple and gorgeous.
Gradually, all the demonic plants and magical beasts that surrounded them turned into corpses, but two dangerous auras still lingered around the several people.
Yu Qing Qian used her mental energy to investigate, and she and Feng Chen pointed in the direction in front of the Nine-Coloured Magic Lotus1 and said: “They’re there.”
As soon as the two finished speaking, the wet mud in front of the Nine-Coloured Magic Lotus suddenly cracked, and two huge plants, one red, and one black, emerged from the wet mud.
The tops of the two demonic plants had large, human-like faces that looked ferocious and ruthless.
1‘mo’ 魔 was used again, but I’m going to translate it to ‘magic’ instead of ‘demon’ like ‘magical beasts’.
