Chapter 7
To Xu Nian’s surprise, Ji Yuebai’s lips were unexpectedly soft and welcoming, which was a striking contrast to her usual cold and aloof manner. Even unconscious, Ji Yuebai seemed fragile and delicate, giving off an allure that was unintentional yet captivating.
Xu Nian thought she might be losing her mind. Shaking off these distracting thoughts, she gently pried open Ji Yuebai’s soft lips with her tongue to pass air, transferring her stored oxygen to the other.
Thanks to her efforts, Ji Yuebai’s furrowed brows finally relaxed, indicating an improvement in her oxygen deprivation.
Seeing this, Xu Nian continued to transfer breath and at the same time wrapped her body around Ji Yuebai’s waist, pulling them both upward towards the surface.
Out of the corner of her eye, Xu Nian kept an eye on Ji Yuebai and saw her eyelashes flutter, a sign she was waking up. Xu Nian quickly moved away, pretending as if nothing had happened.
She was terrified of Ji Yuebai’s reaction upon discovering their unintended intimacy, worried she might be met with a swift slash of her sword.
Fortunately, Xu Nian, still dragging Ji Yuebai, was now close to breaking the water’s surface, with the light of victory almost within reach.
After ensuring no signs of danger nearby, she finally surfaced. The scenery around them was drastically different from the previous lakeside; they were in an underwater cavern, surrounded by bizarre rocks, resembling the karst caves Xu Nian had seen in documentaries.
First, Xu Nian swam to the shore and then helped Ji Yuebai out of the water by grabbing her waistband.
While Xu Nian was pulling her up, Ji Yuebai began to wake up. Turning back, Xu Nian saw her covering her mouth, coughing gently.
Ji Yuebai’s appearance was a bit messy. Her wet hair stuck to her face and body, highlighting her graceful figure. Her soaked robe hugged her closely, showing off her enticing curves and the skin underneath the soaked fabric.
Unaware of her own charm, she pursed her lips and fixed her wet sleeves, exposing her pale, jade-like wrists before holding the sword at her waist.
Xu Nian, secretly observing Ji Yuebai, was caught off guard by her actions. She moved aside, worried that Ji Yuebai might bring up the incident of artificial respiration. Pretending to be on guard, Xu Nian cast stealthy glances at her.
She saw Ji Yuebai furrow her brows, seemingly deep in thought, and then unexpectedly touch her own lips.
Fear nearly sent Xu Nian’s spirit flying out of her body, terrified that Ji Yuebai would demand an explanation.
She noticed a tiny mark on Ji Yuebai’s lips, possibly from her sharp fangs.
Unable to sit still, Xu Nian attempted to divert Ji Yuebai’s attention. She immediately began to flatter, “Ji Shishu, are you hurt? I owe you my life for saving me; without your brave actions, I would be a mere spirit at the bottom of Yujing Lake. I am forever indebted and, if you agree, I am willing to serve you, to repay this kindness.”
Ji Yuebai looked up, a drop of water falling from her eyelash onto her cheek, making her pale complexion even more delicate. It seemed to be the first time she encountered a flatteringly eloquent demon snake like Xu Nian, which successfully divreted her attention.
With a hint of disdain, Ji Yuebai dismissed Xu Nian’s offer: “There’s no need.”
Seeing this, Xu Nian quietly breathed a sigh of relief but maintained a sad tone as she said, “Ji Shishu, if you ever need anything in the future, I’ll do whatever it takes to repay my debt to you.”
