A Woman’s Fragrance (6) – He Suddenly Did Not Want To Do It Anymore
Li Ruo Shui had always been a person with strong intuition.
In this cold and damp hole, she inexplicably felt an even colder chill, from the back of her neck to her spine.
The chill reached its maximum after hearing Lu Chi Yao’s laughter.
Her heart always felt some strangeness, Li Ruo Shui found an excuse to move his arm to the side, and unsurprisingly, she heard the clanging sound of the long sword into the sheath.
She suddenly felt a little frustrated, they were just walking in the hole, how did this outrage him?
After scolding the system a hundred and eighty times in his heart, Li Ruo Shui adjusted her emotions and asked in a low voice.
“Just now I saw a dark figure running over, so I pulled you over in a hurry. Are you alright?”
Of course he was alright. Li Ruo Shui became a meat cushion for him and her back was numb, but she still wanted to express her concern.
Lu Zhi Yao was buried in the cervical part of her neck, there was a faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, he could not tell what kind of fragrance it was, but it smelled very comfortable.
The earlier restless emotions calmed down a lot, and he suddenly did not want to do it anymore.
He almost forgot that she would have to swallow the sword if she lost the bet and he thought it would be more interesting if she slit her own throat with her own hand.
Lu Zhi Yao took a deep breath and straightened his body slowly, with a smile at the corner of his eyes and a gentle expression.
“I’m alright, thank you for protecting me.”
Li Ruo Shui pursed up a fake smile, if she believed this face then she must be dumb.
“No, it should be me thanking you.”
Lu Zhi Yao seemed to understand the meaning beyond her words, but also seemed to just answer her: “Not at all.”
Jiang Nian was walking in front and the sound of the water he stepped on echoed in this narrow hole.
“Why is the water getting deeper and deeper?”
He asked suspiciously. The water that had only reached his ankles earlier had already reached the middle of his calves.
“There must be something odd here. The flowing water should be leaking out, not accumulating here.”
Lu Feiyue knew that something was wrong. The sound of the water flowing forward had gradually reduced to almost nothing, plus with this slowly deepening stagnant water, there must be something strange ahead.
She turned her ears to listen to the sound of running water next door. Although it was not very clear, she could also hear the rapid and fast sound, which was completely different from here.
Suddenly, Jiang Nian stopped walking, stopping the people behind him, and he held up the fluorite to explore ahead.
The hole upfront was no longer so low, the upper part was dark and unclear, but it was visible that there was a deep pool of water below, and if he took one more step, he would step into it.
This was definitely not natural terrain.
He raised the fluorite to look around again, and he could see a twine rope the thickness of a baby’s fist hanging down in front of the hole, which appeared odd but rational.

Rational in the sense that they went to the right place, but the odd was the function of this rope.
Li Ruo Shui also looked up to see the rope. There was a moment of silence, as everyone was unsure whether to pull the rope or not.
“Why don’t we ask Li Ruo Shui.” Lu Zhi Yao spoke with a relaxed tone: “She must know, right?”
Under the faint green light, Li Ruo Shui looked at their eyes, then looked at Lu Zhi Yao’s smile, and she couldn’t resist gulping down her saliva.
Till now, Li Ruo Shui knew very well that even if Lu Zhi Yao could not figure out why she knew his name, he would also never believe in dreaming about the future.
This bet was just like a layer of window paper, he did not poke through it just because it was interesting, but she could not break the pot and reveal that it was fake.
“Pull, I believe there must be a way out here.”
Although she did not know the plot, the two people in front of her were the male and female leads. She was betting on the protagonist’s halo.
Lu Zhi Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised by her affirmative tone.
After a moment of silence, Lu Fei Yue nodded her head: “Stay further away, it should be much safer in the cave.”
They retreated into the cave. After Jiang Nian saw that everyone was standing properly, he stretched out his hand and pulled the rope.
After a creak, there was a rattling sound of gears spinning in all directions, and the water in the pool seemed to have found an opening valve and poured forward like the sea.
The waterline gradually decreased, a small boat suddenly turned out of the pool, swinging leisurely for a few times, and seemed to be ready to follow and to go along with the current.
“Get on the boat!”
Lu Fei Yue pulled Jiang Nian and jumped onto the boat, but Li Ruo Shui did not know martial arts so she could not jump so far, and there was a slight fear in her heart.
Lu Zhi Yao seemed to sense her retreat, chuckled lightly, wrapped his arms around her waist, and jumped towards the deep pool with a slight touch on his toes.
“Still so afraid after you have dreamed all of it?”
After the one-sided joke, they both landed on the swaying boat, and the four of them rushed out along the current. The boat hit the rocks along the way, bumping here and there, but the speed did not reduce at all.
The rough stone surface rubbed against their arms, and icy cold water splashed on their faces. Due to the force of the collision, they had to pull the rope inside the boat to stabilise their bodies.
Jiang Nian hugged Lu Fei Yue tightly at such a moment, and the restraint between them seemed to be non-existent at the moment.
Compared with the pair of cuddling lovebirds, Li Ruo Shui was much more miserable.
She was not able to grab the rope, so she could only grab Lu Zhi Yao’s clothes tightly, eyes closed and letting the water splashed on her.
Lu Zhi Yao did not grab the rope at all, let himself go and swayed along with the boat, and together with her, they looked like a pair of swaying rootless duckweeds.
The boat rushed down a small torrent, Li Ruo Shui and Lu Zhi Yao vacated for a moment, and then fell back into the boat along with the water splash.
She closed her eyes and recited the cursive script, her hands trembling, and she prayed for the blessings of various gods and Buddhas.
The small boat hit on a slightly lower rock again, and she and Lu Zhi Yao almost tumbled out of the boat, the corners of their robes were thrown into the water.
