Chapter 130 - He's Here

“Won’t live past twenty-five…”

“Won’t live past twenty-five…”

A cold wind blew past. Yu Wan woke up from her sleep.

The crescent moon above her head had hidden itself in the clouds at some point in time, and even the stars were hidden. It was dark all around, and she could only hear the whistling wind.

After Yu Wan fell off the cliff, she was entangled by the vines of an ancient tree. However, the impact was too great, so she still fainted. After that, she had a nightmare. In her dream, she heard Yu Zigui’s voice—”Didn’t he tell you that he won’t live past twenty-five?”

“You are the one who won’t live past twenty-five!” Yu Wan scolded.

A burning pain came from her back and limbs. Her shoulders and waist were wrapped tightly, and it was also very painful. Because she had been hanging for too long, her legs were already numb. Fortunately, her arms could still move.

Yu Wan took out a lighter from her bag, wanting to see where she was hanging. Whether she was far from the ground or not, she could cut off the vines and jump down if possible. Unexpectedly, after touching it for a long time, she did not manage to touch the match. Instead, she accidentally bumped into something cold and a small stone rolled down.

One, two, three…

It was a full seven to eight seconds before there was a hoarse sound.

Yu Wan’s heart tightened. This was not a matter of determining whether it was far from the ground or not, because she was clearly still hanging halfway up the mountain!

Yu Wan did not dare to act rashly, afraid that if she was not careful, she would break this life-saving vine. But just because she didn’t move didn’t mean that it was foolproof.

A rustling sound came from the darkness. Yu Wan instinctively sensed that something dangerous was approaching. She looked up and was caught off guard by two ferocious green lights.

It was a poisonous snake!

The poisonous snake flicks its tongue and bit at Yu Wan! In the blink of an eye, a furry ball fell from the sky and smashed onto the poisonous snake’s head. The poisonous snake’s body stiffened and it fell off the cliff…

The little snow fox fell onto Yu Wan’s chest. It wiped its eyes with its little claws and looked up in confusion. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?!

Before Baby Fox could come back to its senses, the vine that was wrapped around Yu Wan finally could not withstand the pressure and broke with a crack!

The human and fox suddenly fell!

Yu Wan instinctively hugged the little thing in her arms tightly and reached out to grab the cliff beside her, but she only grabbed a fragile rock.

Crackle!

The rock cracked!

This time, she could not catch anything.

At the critical moment, a muscular figure flew down from the sky. He grabbed Yu Wan’s waist with one hand and shot out a sharp iron claw with the other, firmly grabbing the big tree that was hanging Yu Wan on the cliff.

Although she did not see his face clearly, Yu Wan recognized the masculine aura that belonged to him, as well as the faint fragrance and medicinal fragrance.

Why was he here? How did he know that she’s missing? And how did he find her? While she was thinking, the two of them swung back and forth under the tree like a swing. The little snow fox was so frightened that it crawled into Yu Wan’s lapel.

The two of them finally stabilized themselves. He said calmly, “Hold on tight.”

Since it was a matter of life and death, Yu Wan naturally would not be pretentious. She obediently wrapped her arms around his strong waist. He looked thin when he was dressed, but he’s muscular when he was naked. This was probably referring to him.

Yu Wan could feel the strength of every one of his abdominal muscles through the material of his clothes. He was not a big guy who was muscular but useless. Instead, he was well-proportioned and full of strength.

How could a man have such a good figure…

“You, stop touching around,” Yan Jiuchao said in a hoarse voice.

Yu Wan retracted her little wolf claws without changing her expression.

Yan Jiuchao slowly released the line in the Qianji Box. They discovered a cave hidden in the cliff on the way down although this line was not enough for them to reach the bottom of the cliff.

The two of them entered the cave.

Yu Wan took out a lighter from her bag. A few bats hung from the ceiling of the cave, frightened away by the flames of the fire pistons.

The cave was not big, and there were traces of large birds treating it as a nest. However, it could be seen that it had been abandoned for a long time, and there was only a pile of messy dead branches left.

Yu Wan picked up the dead branches and mixed them with the dead leaves on the ground to light a bonfire. The cold air in the cave instantly dissipated.

The two of them sat down by the fire.

Yu Wan was a little hungry, but the bamboo shoots and wild vegetables she dug up had all fallen somewhere. Fortunately, there was a water bag in her bag.

Yu Wan untied the water bag and removed the cork. Just as she was about to raise her head to drink, she suddenly thought of something and handed the water bag to Yan Jiuchao. “Here.”

Yan Jiuchao glanced at her. She did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that this person was different from before. He had become a little… intimidating.

Yu Wan thought that he despised the things she had used and explained, “I know that you rich people are particular. This water bag has been washed, and I haven’t even drank a mouthful.”

Yan Jiuchao took the water bag and drank a few mouthfuls.

Yu Wan looked at his Adam’s apple moving and muttered in her heart. I must have been touched deeply when he rushed over to save me, otherwise, why would I think that the action of him drinking water was so pleasing to the eye?

Yan Jiuchao finished it and returned the water bag to Yu Wan.

Yu Wan… Yu Wan was suddenly too embarrassed to drink.

“You despise me?” Yan Jiuchao looked at Yu Wan indifferently.

Yu Wan stopped putting the water bag into her bag. “No.”

Yan Jiuchao said, “Then why aren’t you drinking? Or do you want me to feed you?”

How? Mouth to mouth?

Yu Wan choked.

Yu Wan took out the half-filled water bag and removed the cork. Under Yan Jiuchao’s domineering gaze, she obediently drank all the water.

Yan Jiuchao’s eyes darkened, and a chilling meaning flashed across them.

The little snow fox jumped out and looked at its shadow on the ground in confusion. From time to time, it would stretch out its little claws to scratch it. It looked so silly that it was bubbling.

The fire did not last long before it was extinguished. The coldness of the cave swept over again. What was unfortunate was that it started raining in the middle of the night. The cave grew colder.

The little snow fox lay on Yu Wan’s lap and fell asleep. However, this natural heater could not withstand the cold of the spring rain.

Yu Wan subconsciously leaned against Yan Jiuchao.
