“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Mu Feng comforted Chen Lian and brought her towards the boat. He tried his best to look like he was struggling.
But even so, Wang Mingyue was still shouting angrily on the ship. “Mu Feng, save Jiang Wanlin, save her…”
“Mu Feng, you bastard, how can you not save her!”
Wang Mingyue accused Mu Feng angrily.
Mu Feng’s expression darkened. He looked at Jiang Wanlin, who was not far away. She could no longer hold on and was about to sink. If he delayed any longer, she would sink and not be able to float again.
No matter how Wang Mingyue scolded him, he still brought Chen Lian to the side of the boat. He was also floating in the water. Since he was putting on an act, he had to do it completely. At the very least, this way, no one would notice anything on the surface.
Wang Mingyue trembled with anger. She found something on the ship and threw it at him. “Bastard, don’t even think about coming up if you don’t save
Wanwan.”
Mu Feng tried his best to control his body and said in a trembling voice, “Wang Mingyue, there’s something underwater. I couldn’t bring two people with me. I saved Chen Lian first because she was further away. Jiang Wanlin has a good foundation, so her health is better than Chen Lian’s.”
The words were beautiful enough.
Wang Mingyue was still very angry. She gritted her teeth and glared at Mu Feng.
Fang Lan pulled her back and lowered her voice. “Mingyue, stop fooling around. Let them come up. I’ll save Junior Sister.”
Wang Mingyue’s tears flowed out.
She hurriedly wiped away her tears and wanted to find the location of the talisman. She wanted to be a hero herself. How could she let Fang Lan take the risk? However, she looked around and saw nothing.
The ship sank. Mu Feng took the opportunity to grab the edge with Chen Lian. Mu Feng was climbing up with Chen Lian.
Wang Mingyue grabbed Fang Lan tightly and choked. “Don’t go. I’ll go.”
Fang Lan smiled. “Silly girl.”
He said only two words, turned around, and jumped off the boat.
Wang Mingyue immediately cried.
Mu Feng’s eyes darkened as he watched Fang Lan jump down. He sat in the cabin to rest. Initially, he wanted to pretend that he was exhausted and wanted to rest. Now that Fang Lan had gone down, it messed up his plan. His mind was in a mess. A terrifying thought actually rose from his heart: what if he killed all three of them…
Wang Mingyue walked to Mu Feng and grabbed his collar. She gritted her teeth and punched him. “You wanted to kill Jiang Wanlin. When we go back, I’ll report it to Teacher truthfully. I won’t keep an eye on you, but if you dare to attack me, see if you can survive.”
Wang Mingyue’s eyes were burning with anger. After punching Mu Feng, she turned around and looked anxiously in the direction where Fang Lan was swimming.
Wang Mingyue opened the small bag at her waist and a poisonous snake the size of a pinky climbed out. It landed on Wang Mingyue’s shoulder and hissed.
The moment Mu Feng saw the poisonous snake, all his thoughts dissipated. Wang Mingyue was harder to deal with than he had imagined. He could explain himself if he didn’t make a move, but if he did, he would land himself in a dilemma. After thinking it through, he gradually calmed down.
As for Wang Mingyue, she looked in Fang Lan’s direction with all her attention.
Fang Lan only took one rune. After entering the water, he paddled in Jiang Wanlin’s direction.
When he entered the water, he knew that something was wrong, but he couldn’t care less at this moment. Jiang Wanlin was being pushed far away and sinking.
Wang Mingyue was very smart. She was a vigilant girl and had life-saving things. If Mu Feng dared to have any ill intentions towards her, Mu Feng would be the one to suffer.
Fang Lan focused on swimming towards Jiang Wanlin. There was a lot of resistance in the water, but it was not difficult to move.
Jiang Wanlin was not surprised that Mu Feng did not save her first. She knew that she was in danger, but she was still trying not to give up.
When she saw that Fang Lan had come to save her, she kicked even harder.
Unfortunately, she was not good at swimming. Her heavy body seemed to weigh a thousand catties. Not only could she not float up, but she kept sinking.
When the cold lake water drowned her mouth and nose, Jiang Wanlin felt a suffocating feeling. She felt a burning pain in her throat and lungs. She subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to breathe, but her rationality controlled this urge because she knew that she would only swallow cold water and sand if she opened her mouth.
Her throat was in pain, her lungs were in pain, and her body seemed to be sinking.
Was she dying? Was this going to be the end of her life?
She was so indignant. She didn’t want to die.
She was only twelve years old. She had not lived long enough. She had not done anything yet.
She was not a filial child. Since she was young, she often talked back to her parents because of Mu Feng. She had the obsession of not marrying anyone other than Mu Feng, so she ignored many details. Her parents might not have a good impression of Mu Feng.
Everything was just for her, but now, she had come to her senses. She had seen it clearly. She wanted to start over, but it seemed that… she no longer had a chance.
A cooling feeling enveloped her. Her lungs, which were about to explode, were injected with spiritual energy again, making her feel very comfortable.
Jiang Wanlin sighed.
What was going on? She was at the bottom of the lake. Why could she suddenly breathe?
This feeling was strange. She seemed to see Teacher Su not far away. She was dragging… many figures upstream…
Her hand was suddenly pulled. Jiang Wanlin felt her vision go black and she couldn’t see anything.
A force pulled her up until she was out of the water. Fang Lan took a deep breath and panted as she asked, “Junior Sister, how is it?”
Jiang Wanlin breathed in the air again. Everything just now seemed to be a dream. She took deep greedy breaths and replied with difficulty, “Thank you, Senior Brother. I’m fine.”
“It’s good that you’re fine. Just relax, put your hands behind your head, and tilt your head back. Don’t worry, I’ll take you back to the boat.”
Fang Lan heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Wanlin was lucky. She had already sunk to the bottom just now, but she could wake up so quickly.
No matter what, it was good that she was fine.
Fang Lan was swimming back after saving Jiang Wanlin. Wang Mingyue heaved a sigh of relief and had already taken the oar to prepare.
Mu Feng’s eyes darkened as he watched. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Chen Lian tugged at him carefully and handed the bag of lotus seeds that she had taken from Jiang Wanlin to Mu Feng.
She didn’t say anything, but Mu Feng understood what she wanted to say.
He only hesitated for a moment before taking out all the lotus seeds in the cloth bag and putting them into his bag. Then, he threw Jiang Wanlin’s bag into the lake. He tidied up his emotions and pretended that nothing had happened.
Chen Lian leaned against Mu Feng quietly and smiled slightly.
With Wang Mingyue’s oar, Fang Lan grabbed it and quickly boarded the ship with Jiang Wanlin.
Wang Mingyue threw herself into Fang Lan’s arms and hammered him a few times in worry and frustration. Fang Lan chuckled and did not hug her. He only patted her shoulder gently.
Wang Mingyue quickly let go of Fang Lan and hugged Jiang Wanlin. Jiang Wanlin was stunned by this sudden hug. Then, she smiled and hugged Wang Mingyue back..
