Chapter 135: The Great Hunt (5) Xiao Jinxing Arrives_4
Ye Qichi still felt some pain from Xiao Jinxing's kick just now.
God damn it.
Ye Qichi couldn't help but curse.
She rubbed her shoulders, listening to Xiao Jinxing's instructing voice, "Don't come up yet, the vine can't support so many people."
"Okay." Ye Qichi answered.
You guys go ahead first.
She wasn't in a hurry for this short while.
Ye Qichi stood in place, stamping her feet, shivering continuously.
She waited for about half the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
They should be up by now, right?
Unable to restrain herself any longer, Ye Qichi used her Qinggong to go up to the middle of the hillside in search of the vine.
She exhausted all her strength and finally caught sight of that vine.
But the key issue was, she simply couldn't fly that high.
Fuck.
Did she overestimate herself?!
Indeed, she was still very inexperienced.
Xiao Jinxing could go up even when carrying someone on his back, yet she couldn't make it.
Ye Qichi tried twice.
Both times, the vine was about a meter away from her reach, always just out of touch.
It's over.
Xiao Jinxing must have already left with Bai Mowan by now.
Could it be that she was going to be trapped here again?!
The main problem was that it was too cold.
She feared she might freeze to death.
Ye Qichi gritted her teeth.
Deciding to try one more time.
She warmed up her body and once again used her Qinggong.
Just as she leapt upwards.
Her body was suddenly hit by someone descending.
The impact made Ye Qichi's vision blur.
Her body, at that instant, was about to fall down.
And in that split-second.
A strong arm instantly embraced her into his sturdy chest.
Ye Qichi fell onto the ground in Xiao Jinxing's arms.
Didn't die from the fall.
That's fortunate.
Xiao Jinxing hugged Ye Qichi's frail body.
Wherever he touched her clothes, he could feel her body had turned into a block of ice, without a trace of warmth.
"Where's your coat?" Xiao Jinxing asked coldly.
Ye Qichi finally came to her senses, still shaken from the close call.
She was almost about to fall to her death just now.
"It got burned by the fire." Ye Qichi replied.
"Could you be any more foolish?"
"Wasn't it all to save your Wan'er?!" Ye Qichi also grew a little angry.
All Xiao Jinxing could do was to make sarcastic remarks, couldn't he say a word of gratitude?!
If it weren't for saving Bai Mowan.
Would she be so unlucky tonight?!
Xiao Jinxing's face turned a bit ugly after being yelled at by Ye Qichi.
But he endured and said no more.
Probably because he was in the wrong.
He released Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi felt another gust of cold wind.
One must admit, at this moment Xiao Jinxing's body was quite warm.
She indeed felt a tinge of reluctance for him to let go.
But there's no need to even think about it; Xiao Jinxing would definitely not be so kind-hearted.
Especially with Bai Mowan present.
Shivering, she said, "Crouch down, I should be able to fly up if I step on your body."
Just like how Xiao Jinxing used her just now.
As per the principle of reciprocity, Xiao Jinxing probably wouldn't refuse.
However, Xiao Jinxing just gave her a cold glance.
And didn't crouch down.
At that moment, he took off the cotton coat he was wearing and threw it to Ye Qichi.
When Ye Qichi received the coat warmed by Xiao Jinxing's body, she was truly flabbergasted.
It felt like she was dreaming.
Xiao Jinxing was actually being kind-hearted.
"Don't overthink it. It's just to thank you for saving Wan'er's life." Xiao Jinxing said indifferently.
Ye Qichi rolled her eyes.
But thought to herself, having clothes to wear was all that mattered.
Whether he willingly gave them or not.
She quickly put on Xiao Jinxing's coat.
Even though it was huge, it was really warm.
Instantly, there was a feeling of moving from the freezing hell to warm heaven.
"Let's go." Xiao Jinxing called out to her.
"Okay." Ye Qichi got ready and prepared to use her Qinggong.
But at that moment.
Xiao Jinxing extended his arm and embraced her waist, pulling her entire body close to his chest, "Hold me tight."
Xiao Jinxing commanded.
Ye Qichi promptly hugged Xiao Jinxing's body tightly.
Xiao Jinxing used his Qinggong and took Ye Qichi with him, flying directly up to the mid-slope and firmly grabbed the vine.
Ye Qichi couldn't help but sigh.
She had to practice her skills properly when she returned.
Otherwise, if Xiao Jinxing didn't develop a conscience, she would have frozen to death here.
She had always been clear from a young age that one has to depend on oneself for everything and not rely on anyone else.
Xiao Jinxing held Ye Qichi with one arm and grabbed the vine with the other, then with a bit more use of Qinggong.
The two climbed up the steep slope easily.
On the slope, Bai Mowan was placed against a big tree by Xiao Jinxing, waiting for him.
Now, she saw Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi come up.
