Chapter 29: Shared Breathing (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

"Yue Lingke, you can't run away!"

On the small island, in front of the cave, stood a middle-aged man in a dragon-patterned robe. At this moment, he was standing in front of the buried bonfire with his hands behind his back.

The dragon on the man's robe was embroidered with gold threads. The whole dragon looked lifelike, and its scales were shining with golden light, sparkling in the sun, giving people a sense of dignity. This man was Mo Lin, the eighth priest of the Dragon Temple!
"Master Priest, we found a black-sailed boat hidden by vines in the jungle!"

Soon, an ordinary disciple from the Dragon God Temple came to report.

"A black-sailed boat?"

Mo Lin muttered to himself.

“So there’s an accomplice!”

“No wonder he can run so far!”

Then he turned around and said to the Dragon God Temple disciples behind him, "Continue to blockade the island, don't let a single bird pass!"

"Send someone to search under the sea. Send me a signal immediately after encountering her."

"There should be other people on the island. Find them for me. I want to see who dares to ruin the Dragon Temple!"

After receiving the order, the disciples of the Dragon God Temple retreated one after another and went to spread the message everywhere.

Mo Lin did not leave, but continued to wander around, and even went into the cave to study it carefully for a long time.

Although he won the battle a few days ago, it was because of his surprise attack and thorough preparation, as well as the fact that several guardians attacked him from the side, which enabled him to win by only a few moves.

Even so, half of the guardians died, and he himself was seriously injured and has not recovered yet.

He was still very wary of that woman's strength.

So he wanted to use these clues to judge the other party's recovery extent.

Unfortunately, Yue Lingke had hardly moved during these days sitting in the cave, so he had no way of judging.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly...no news came.

An hour passed...

Three hours have passed...

"Master Priest, no trace of them was found on the island. We are searching under the sea, but nothing has been found so far."

Soon, a disciple from the Dragon God Temple came to report.

Mo Lin's expression changed and he became a little braver. Since the other party didn't dare to come out, it meant that he might not have recovered very well.

If there is nothing on the island...

"Yue Lingke, I know you are underwater, don't hide, you can't run away!"

Mo Lin spoke again, and his voice was like rolling thunder, which spread far away and also reached the ears of the two people who were deep in the sea under the island.

Yue Lingke opened her eyes, like a sword drawn from its sheath. She decided not to wait any longer. She raised her hand and pressed on the cliff wall, ready to rush out of the crack and fight Mo Lin to the death.

Cao Ze raised his hand and held her, shaking his head slightly at her.

He could also tell from Yue Lingke's reaction that Yue Lingke was no match for that man now. What's more, there were so many disciples of the Dragon God Temple around. If they went up now, it would be no different from committing suicide.

Gululu...

Yue Lingke, who was already holding her breath to the limit, was pulled like that, and her internal organs were shaken. She couldn't help but open her mouth to breathe, but could only drink a mouthful of sea water. Fortunately, she had good martial arts skills and adjusted herself in time, otherwise if she choked on the water, she would have died at the bottom of the sea.

Even so, her current condition is already very bad.

The extreme lack of oxygen had made her head a little dizzy. Her originally sharp eyes became a little blurry, and her body became weak and she had almost lost control.

With a soft sigh, she feared that in her current state, she might not even have the strength to swim out of the sea.

She, Yue Lingke, the talented girl from Cape City, was about to be buried at the bottom of the sea on such an unknown island.

Or dying in such a posture with such a young man. If someone found them, they might think they were two young men and women committing suicide for love, right?

It’s better not to let anyone find out!

Yue Lingke could no longer control her wild thoughts and she found that even her consciousness was becoming blurry.

But it’s not bad either. This kid does have some talent. If he could have as many resources as I do, when he reaches my age, maybe he wouldn’t be worse than me!

It’s not too bad to die with a little guy like this.

If she were sober, she would never have such a ridiculous idea, but now, she could no longer control her thoughts.

Gululu...

Finally, she couldn't control not only her thoughts, but she couldn't even control her breath.

Yue Lingke felt like he had fallen into the sea, and was falling, falling...

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her and pulled her out of the water. She smelled the sweet air again and she couldn't help but gasp for breath.

As fresh air entered his lungs, Yue Lingke quickly regained consciousness.

Then, she found herself still in the crack.

"But why can I breathe normally?"

The moment she had this doubt, she got the answer, because she saw a man's face pressed against hers, and she also felt the warm touch on her lips.

She subconsciously pushed Cao Ze away.

Cao Ze looked at the opposite side innocently. At first he thought that Yue Lingke's physical changes were caused by emotional changes. It was not until the other party began to gulp down sea water that he realized that not everyone can breathe under the sea, not even a martial arts master like Yue Lingke.

Of course, it may also be because Yue Lingke was seriously injured.

In any case, after a slight hesitation, Cao Ze chose the most direct method, which was to give Yue Lingke energy.

Cao Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Yue Lingke had regained consciousness. Then he thought of the soft touch just now, which made him subconsciously compare it with Su Xiaozhi. There are similarities, but also differences. The feeling is difficult to describe in words.

When Yue Lingke saw Cao Ze's nostalgic look, anger rose in her heart, but she herself did not notice that this time, she did not even have the intention to kill him.

However, given her current condition, she probably can't kill Cao Ze.

Because she soon fell into a state of hypoxia again, the strong feeling of suffocation made her extremely uncomfortable, and she felt as if her lungs were about to explode, but she was still holding on. Even if she, Yue Lingke, suffocated in the sea water, she would not accept such a shameful way of living.

The next moment, Cao Ze stepped forward again.

He couldn't just watch Yue Lingke die in front of him.

Uh...

Yue Lingke tried to reach out and pat Cao Ze, but due to the lack of oxygen, she couldn't exert any strength at all, and patting Cao Ze was almost like tickling him.

Cao Ze remained unmoved and simply shared the meager oxygen he extracted from the sea water with the other party.

Feeling her lungs receiving oxygen again and the feeling of suffocation slowly disappearing, Yue Lingke actually experienced an unprecedented sense of comfort. She found that her body was not actually very opposed to this behavior.

Seeing Cao Ze's defenseless look, Yue Lingke couldn't help but pause in his slapping movements.

This time their whereabouts were exposed because of her, even Cao Ze was implicated by her. She had no reason to be angry.

“Forget it, forget it…” Yue Lingke was not a little kid after all, and she quickly calmed down.

"Once I recover from my injuries, I will completely eradicate the Dragon God Temple!"

Thinking of this, driven by strong hatred, Yue Lingke, who had been on the verge of death and was about to lie down, once again felt the desire to survive.

With a bigger goal in mind, she no longer felt that there was anything wrong with what was happening, and even blamed Mo Lin for her current predicament.

As a person in society, you should not be fussy about trivial matters.
