The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 105: Wanbao Pavilion

But even when the pain became unbearable, Qi Xianqing wouldn't utter a word.

However, from the spot on Yanjue's shoulder where Qi Xianqing's fingertips had gripped, a wave of pain surged, making it clear that Qi Xianqing was truly in agony.

For some reason, Yanjue's heart suddenly tightened.

If she had known it would come to this, she should have just knocked Qi Xianqing out with a quick strike earlier.

Qi Xianqing was unaware that Yanjue was lost in thought; she only sensed the girl staggering slightly as she continued to carry her.

Furrowing her brow, she softly said, "Thank you."

Yanjue ignored her entirely, focusing all her attention on finding a place to take shelter.

After walking for quite a while, the sky had nearly turned completely dark when Yanjue finally found a cave in the rock wall that could serve as a refuge.

The cave was obscured by lush green vines, and one could faintly see the dark entrance.

The sun had already set, and the surroundings were growing increasingly dark; walking outside could be dangerous.

This was undoubtedly a good place to take cover.

Yanjue stepped forward, using her left foot to leap up into the cave.

As soon as she entered, Yanjue took a deep breath.

The cave was quite clean, lacking the stench of wild beasts, and only a damp, humid atmosphere could be detected.

The sound of dripping water was clear and audible.

In the surrounding darkness, Yanjue placed the Spirit Transformation Pearl on the ground, and its brilliant light illuminated the cave, revealing its overall layout.

The cave was spacious, with earthen walls that were uneven to the touch.

Yanjue reached out to feel the walls; they were surprisingly firm.

There were several naturally formed stone beds around.

Cold water dripped from above and, surprisingly, gathered into a small stream in the shallow cracks of the rocks below.

This should be a tributary of the creek outside, as the water from these crevices flowed outward.

Supporting Qi Xianqing, Yanjue stumbled forward a couple of steps and sat down on one of the stone beds.

A shaft of the arrow was still embedded in Qi Xianqing's leg, causing her significant discomfort. She suspected the arrow was poisoned; gripping the shaft, she abruptly yanked it out.

"Clang—"

The arrow fell to the ground.

Blood splattered out, and Qi Xianqing's vision went dark with pain as she bit her lip and remained silent.

Yanjue was startled by her.

She had noticed the arrow in Qi Xianqing's leg earlier but didn't dare to move it without having anything to staunch the bleeding.

Qi Xianqing was still as ruthless as ever, even willing to harm herself.

Gasping for air, Qi Xianqing slowly opened her eyes, her voice hoarse: "I didn't mean to abandon you earlier. The situation was too dangerous; I wanted to face it alone."

Yanjue replied, "What are you talking about at a time like this?"

Qi Xianqing felt a sharp pain in her chest and began to cough violently, expelling a thick mass of blood.
