It was dark.

With a flick Shizui ignited a fire talisman. "We should find a way out." He said.

"Is there even a way out?" Jingyi was doubtful.

"We can check." Shizui said, "As said by the spirit from earlier. There's a lake 250m ahead. If we go there, there's a possibility that we can find a way out."

".... I guess so." Jingyi lowly said.

"It's better than just sitting and waiting for people we don't even know would come." JinLing said.

Shizui tilted his head to look at him and after a long time he said, "Yes"

Then he continued, "Jingyi, you lit a fire and lead us the way. This is my last fire talisman, I've used up all earlier during the battle with Sea Monster."

Jingyi nodded and took out a fire talisman and ignited it on his palm. After that, as he was told by Shizui, he really did lead the way followed by the other two from behind.

They were silently walking.

Suddenly JinLing felt something wrap around his little finger. His face blushed in an instant. He turned his head to look at Shizui.

Shizui smiled at him and signed him to be quite. Then he slowly held JinLing's hand and intertwined with his.

JinLing averted his eyes and looked down.

It wasn't as dark as before because of the light produced by fire talisman on Jingyi's hand. JinLing's blushing face was nicely visible to Shizui, who was silently enjoying seeing the cherry like face of JinLing in front of him.

He had a calm expression from outside. But from inside, he was carving to eat it, and keep it for himself till eternity.

JinLing could feel his face heating up. But what was hotter than his face was Shizui's hand. His hand was indeed warm. But it was at unusual temperature. He was too flustered to even speak anything right now. He just silently walked whilst holding Shizui's hand.

After God knows how many minutes, Jingyi halted on his steps, "Look there, that's the lake right?"

Shizui looked at the direction he had pointed and agreed, "Yes, let's see if there's a way out. During this season night falls early, so it might be difficult for us to find the exit."

He was still holding JinLing's hand. He didn't want to part with that soft skin but still he had to. He apologetically smiled at JinLing before slowly retreating his hand.

Till now, JinLing was walking like a wood. Even though he was flustered he could never deny the fact that he likes holding his hand. The reason, maybe because it Shizui's skin was soft and warm, or maybe because it was gentle, but whatever he likes it because he likes it. That's it.

Jingyi suddenly turned himself to look at them. When he looked at them, they were standing separately. For a second he couldn't belief his own eyes.

"You two didn't do anything?"

JingLing; "............."

"Why do you want to know?" Shizui said, "Do you want to see live porn or what?"

"Well it's not like I mind watching live porn." Jingyi said without any shame, "But..."

Then he gave a sly satisfactory smile to himself and said, "I prefer this" He made two round shapes from both his hand on either sides of his chest then continued, "over this" he made a socket from his one hand as if holding something and pumped it.

Shizui almost chocked on the oxygen molecules present in the atmosphere. Whereas JinLing landed a nice tight slap on his face, "Impudent!"

That slap was so nice that made Jingyi see stars in undergroung dungeon and he fell on his kness. Then JinLing continued, "Don't be so shameless."

Shizui could almost feel as if he was the one getting slapped, he couldn't help feel his white cheek.

Jingyi rubbed his cheek fixed in his position trying to process all the information once again.

"Oh yeah" He said, "I'll dig in the hole."

Shizui; "....."

JinLing was confused, "Is he nuts? What hole he has to dig?"

Shizui looked at him and awkwardly smiled, "Even I don't know."

"Anyways" JinLing said, "Let's search for the way out."

Shizui nodded. He helped Jingyi get up and shook him hard enough to get him back to his senses.

"Oh yeah" Jingyi said, "Let's find it!"

"What?" Shizui asked.

"The hole!" Jingyi replied.

Shizui; "......"

Shizui was growing concerned about Jingyi. He raised his right hand and showed him two fingers, "How many are these?"

Jingyi, " Your right hand."

Well technically he's correct.

"We need to get out of here Shizui." Jingyi said, "We can't waste our time playing small games."

"Uh...yeah"

Then Shizui took out a fire talisman from his inner robe and ignited it. Jingyi keenly gazed at the fire burning on Shizui's palm.

Shizui felt that gaze, so he tilted his hand to look at him then again turned away.

Jingyi said, "Wait... If my memory is correct you said that you're fire talismans were finished."

"I just found more in my inner robe." Shizui said.

"Oh I see." Jingyi said.

"Don't waste your time on talking!"

Both of them turned their heads to look at the source of the voice. It was JinLing who was standing on the shore and grumpily shouting at them.

"Alright A-Ling~" Shizui said with a smile.

JinLing, "......"

Then everybody began their searching for exit.

Jingyi was standing at the top of a huge rock beside the wall. He inhaled deeply air and shouted at the two people below him, "Hey I don't think there's even an ant here-!"

He couldn't even finish his sentence when the wall of huge solid rocks behind him were destroyed.

A snake like thing suddenly appeared and tightly wrapped around him.

It was purple in colour accompanied by the white drizzling lighting. No one would prefer to be hit by it. Not to mention he was wrapped by it, totally unprepared for such a high level attack.

A sillhoutte of a person flashed behind him. When the dust settles down, even Jingyi could feel the cold aura of the person standing on his back.

Adorned in purple robe, a silver bell tugged on his waist, zidian on his finger by which he had summoned his lightning whip that was clutching Jingyi, Jiang Cheng stood tall. His face was darker than the darkness that reigned the underground dungeon.

Jingyi on the other hand was going numb because of the tight grip of zidian. He could only shout at the broken fate of his.

First Sea Monster, and now this grumpy brinjal! Why the fuck it's me?!
