C203 Stand-off

However, Yuwen Jing didn't even pay attention to what Lin Chuyue had said, as he stared at her with his gloomy eyes and slowly spoke, "Are you afraid of us?"

"Your Majesty, I, as a woman, am naturally afraid of your might."

He unconsciously took a step back, not because he was afraid of Yuwen Jing, but because this fellow had actually stood up and walked forward, closing in step by step.

Frowning, Lin Chuyue's eyes flashed with a cold light as she watched Yuwen Jing slowly walk over.

Right at the moment when Yuwen Jing's body was in front of him, when Lin Chuyue was almost covered in the crook of her arm, a pair of large hands reached out extremely fast, and grabbed onto the black object behind Lin Chuyue.

"You are lying, I don't like women who lie."

Looking at Yuwen Jing who was just inches away from him, Lin Chuyue wanted to stab him, but the dagger fell into the deep pool.

Feeling the aura that was assaulting her from the opposite side, Lin Chuyue naturally moved to the side. If Feng Yan saw such a scene, she would definitely be 'taught a very miserable lesson'.

"Your Majesty The Emperor doesn't like women who lie, and this humble girl also doesn't like men who lie."

Realizing that she had basically escaped from Yuwen Jing's grasp, Lin Chuyue squinted as she met Yuwen Jing's sinister smile.

At this time, the smile on Yuwen Jing's face grew even wider. "Lying men and lying women, aren't they absolutely compatible?"

"Hmph, your majesty is too narcissistic. Pa!" He ruthlessly slapped Yuwen Jing's hand, trying to get him to let go.

But who knew that not only would Yuwen Jing not let go, he was even tighter on his, almost sticking close to her.

"Your Majesty, as the future Prince Yan's Wife of the Hua Kingdom, it is not proper for you to do this."

Lin Chuyue had yet to say more unpleasant words, but just as Yuwen Jing wanted to say them, a rumbling sound once again resonated in their ears.

"Let's go."

Pulling Lin Chuyue by her hand, Yuwen Jing pulled him along an invisible stone stairs as they quickly ran up. Their goal was the hole that Lin Chuyue had just seen.

Following the continuous rumbling sounds, Lin Chuyue only saw the sluice-like water once again roaring towards him.

It was a pity that the stone stairs were too narrow and could only fit one person at a time. Moreover, the water level was rising even higher, so the two of them could not have any time to rest.

The speed at which the water level rose was extremely shocking, but in the blink of an eye, it had covered his waist, causing the temperature of the water to become even colder. Even when Lin Chuyue was submerged in the water, he still felt a bone-piercing coldness.

"Don't look back. If you don't want to die, then leave quickly."

At this moment, the two of them were completely relying on their feelings to find the stone stairs beneath their feet.

The stone steps beneath their feet were completely submerged. The torrential water continued to rush forward. As long as the two of them were not careful, they could fall down.

"It's right up there. I'll send you up."

He used his strength and lifted Lin Chuyue up above his head, the hole was right in front of him. Lin Chuyue used both hands to hold onto the hole that had transformed into a double, and with difficulty, she crawled into the hole while stepping on Yuwen Jing's shoulder.

At this time, Yuwen Jing reached out his hand to grab the side of the cave, but the water flow was even more strange, causing Yuwen Jing's legs to unsteady, and he was washed away.

"Catch."

Fortunately, the moment Yuwen Jing was swept away, Lin Chuyue reached out her hand and grabbed onto him.

This caused the expression in Yuwen Jing's eyes to freeze for a moment. "You don't regret saving us."

"Regret, but this is not the way you die."

You, Yuwen Jing can only die in her hands, kneeling in front of the Yumen Pass to atone for the seemingly Black Feather Guard, seemingly having the Lin Family to atone for the unborn child, and not dying so easily like this.

"I got it, I don't have that much strength left."

The water level practically engulfed Yuwen Jing, and using the power of the stone wall, Lin Chuyue pulled Yuwen Jing's hand. Finally, when the water level had completely engulfed the cave's interior, the two of them were safe and sound.

"We're not out of danger yet. Follow the hole and the next wave will be even bigger."

Lin Chuyue had no time to rest, the two stood up and walked up the hole.

The higher she went, the narrower the hole became, but Lin Chuyue could see specks of light appearing on the other side of the hole.

"Can you f * cking stop touching me?"

Lin Chuyue couldn't turn around, and could only kick the man's hand hard. Feeling the man's large, restless hands behind her, she should have let Yuwen Jing die in the water.

"It was just that I couldn't see the way clearly, which was why I accidentally touched Yue Er's butt."

"Scram. Let me tell you, keep your distance from me."

Lin Chuyue clenched her teeth fiercely, it was not only a moment of regret that had saved Yuwen Jing.

She increasingly realised that Yuwen Jing was even more shameless than he was in her previous life.

After walking forward fiercely, the two of them finally passed through the narrow hole. What appeared in front of Lin Chuyue was another naturally formed cave.

Her delicate eyebrows slightly frowned, looking at the clear trace of someone having come here, Lin Chuyue frowned her nose.

The capital of the Yan Kingdom was actually built on top of such a huge cave. If an earthquake were to happen, it would be engulfed within minutes.

"What's that?"

When Lin Chuyue looked at the high platform in the middle of the cave, her eyes turned slightly cold. She walked down the stone stairs, and on the rock floor that was as flat as a mirror, Lin Chuyue stopped.

Drops of water dripped from her clothes nonstop as she looked at the spacious cave and the stone platform not far away. Lin Chuyue slowly turned around, but she did not move an inch.

"You did it on purpose."

The reason why Lin Chuyue dared to enter the cave like that, was because she had observed her surroundings and confirmed that there was no danger. However, Lin Chuyue did not expect that there would be hidden secrets on the ground that even if she entered, he would not be able to see it.

Because the trap was hidden in this mirror-like ground.

At this time, Yuwen Jing, who had not spoken a word all this time, walked up to Lin Chuyue and pointed at the water under the 'mirror', "We will carry you there."

Smiling, Yuwen Jing did not care about someone's struggle at all. Hugging Lin Chuyue tightly, he walked toward the stone platform at a specific pace.

To be honest, Lin Chuyue still had some lingering fear. That layer of rock that was as thin as a mirror could be shattered with a little force. What awaited him was an endless water prison.

At that time, even if they wanted to, there was no possibility for them to survive.

"You deliberately set me up?"

Squinting his eyes, there was a hint of hatred in his eyes. After all, he wanted to see just how long he would be able to smile upon leaving the underground cavern.

"If you look at me like that, I'll think you're in love with me."

"Humph, His Majesty isn't looking at himself in the mirror."

In front of the stone platform, Lin Chuyue saw that there were three boxes on the stone platform. One of the boxes was open, and the things inside had completely disappeared without a trace.
