Chapter 316: Chapter 292 Brother-in-law, let me take care of you

Lin Xiaoxiao, enduring the icy cold of the water, knelt beside Li Chen and brought the water to his lips.

But Li Chen, though vaguely conscious, was completely unable to move, let alone open his lips.

Seeing that Li Chen made no movement, Lin Xiaoxiao tried to put the water into his mouth, but Li Chen kept his lips tightly shut, and the water all dripped down from the edge of his lips.

Lin Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected this, and in her panic, she used her sleeve to wipe away the icy water, carefully wiping it dry from the corners of Li Chen’s mouth.

Looking at the motionless Li Chen, Lin Xiaoxiao’s tears seemed ready to fall again, but she took a deep breath, restrained herself, then stood up and went back to the side of Cold Pool and scooped more water.

"Brother-in-law, you can’t be in trouble."

Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself, then drank the water into her own mouth and went back to Li Chen, opening his lips with her hand and transferring the water into his mouth with her mouth.

At that moment, Li Chen was still in the same gray, foggy space, where numerous ghost spirits transformed into different characters, including the Shadow that had died before, various opponents he had encountered, and even the souls wronged by his own hands.

The ghost spirits seemed to be tearing at Li Chen, but suddenly, Li Chen’s consciousness restored slightly, and in that glimmering scene, Lin Xiaoxiao’s figure appeared.

The gentle touch of lips came through, Li Chen’s tightly closed eyes seemed to flutter slightly, and then, from those soft lips, the cold liquid entered his mouth, flowing down his throat and slowly into his body.

Like Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Chen hadn’t had a drop to drink since that morning, and the water entering his body gave him some instinctual reaction, causing his fingers to twitch slightly.

Are these Xiaoxiao’s lips?

The thought flashed through Li Chen’s mind, instinctively wanting to move his lips slightly, but he found he couldn’t move, and then the tender lips left his again.

Lin Xiaoxiao saw Li Chen’s lips slightly open, seeming to react, and her heart leaped with joy, but after a long while, Li Chen still hadn’t moved, turning her anticipation into disappointment.

Standing up, Lin Xiaoxiao repeated the process, transferring water into Li Chen’s mouth. This time, Li Chen clearly reacted. Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was about to move away from his lips, suddenly, Li Chen’s lips nibbled slightly, catching Lin Xiaoxiao’s lips in a gentle grip, an embrace he didn’t want to release.

So fragrant!

Li Chen’s mind muttered, these being his instinctual reactions. But from these reactions, it’s clear that the label of a lecher is inescapable. Even unconscious, he automatically took advantage of someone else; this capability was terribly strong.

Lin Xiaoxiao’s body jolted in excitement, sitting up, "Brother-in-law, have you awakened?"

At that moment, Li Chen was Lin Xiaoxiao’s mainstay. If Li Chen woke up, Lin Xiaoxiao would no longer be afraid; she believed Li Chen had many solutions.

But after waiting for quite some time, she saw that Li Chen seemed to have closed his lips again without any movement, her hopes dashed again.

"Brother-in-law, before you always looked after me, this time, let me take care of you." After a while, Lin Xiaoxiao softly spoke, then gently caressed his forehead, very softly, very tenderly.

Lin Xiaoxiao went to the edge of Cold Pool, then tore a piece from the clothes she was wearing, a short-sleeved shirt, taking from the bottom hem at the waist, which didn’t affect the overall wear.

After wetting the cloth in the Cold Pool, she wrung out the water, and went back to Li Chen, gently wiping the dirt off his body.

The tiny pebbles on his face, the blood stains and dust on his body, the blurred traces of blood on his hands, all were gently cleaned by Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Brother-in-law, do you feel a bit more comfortable after being cleaned up?" Looking at Li Chen still lying there, Lin Xiaoxiao’s mouth curved into a smile as she gently asked.

Li Chen still didn’t respond, but subconsciously, he heard the words.

Lin Xiaoxiao set the cloth aside and started fixing Li Chen’s clothes: "Brother-in-law, before, I must have made you angry and annoyed."

As Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, she recalled their first meeting, the moment when their eyes met, and couldn’t help but smile slightly. Li Chen’s expression, as if he had been wronged, was really, utterly shameless.

Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but snicker.

Her gaze towards Li Chen grew even more tender.

After fixing Li Chen’s clothes, Lin Xiaoxiao headed back to the edge of Cold Pool.

Although she didn’t know how much time had passed, the hunger pangs emanating from her belly constantly reminded Lin Xiaoxiao that she needed to eat something.

And in this cave, the only source of food visible was the thumb-sized fish in the Cold Pool.

Nearing the Cold Pool, those little fish seemed to be swimming joyfully, a group of them flocking to the surface as if performing, while the earlier fish dove back into the water.

The Cold Pool, with a diameter of ten meters, was quite large. Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the bottom of the pool, realizing she couldn’t see clearly inside.

The cave had a Cold Pool, and such a large one at that, only went to show the vastness of the world. It was full of wonders, or rather, nature’s marvels, were truly extraordinary.

Lin Xiaoxiao prepared to catch fish. Being unable to reach the center of the water, she could only wait on the edge, waiting for the fish to swim by, then seize the opportunity to catch them.

Moreover, because there were no tools, using only his bare hands made the task extremely difficult, as one can imagine.

Lin Xiaoxiao patiently waited. There should be many little fish in the water and, even by the standards of the Cold Pool, the area under the water should be very large.

Before long, a little fish swam over, looking somewhat dazed. Lin Xiaoxiao’s heart leaped with joy. She carefully extended her hands into the water, but as soon as she touched the surface, the fish, as if startled, made a slight movement and swam deeper down, giving Lin Xiaoxiao no chance to react.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao realized that catching these fish had to be quick. Placing the hands outside before inserting them into the water simply wouldn’t work, because even before touching the fish, the ripples would scare them away.

With this initial experience, Lin Xiaoxiao simply submerged both her hands under the water, cupping them, and waited for the fish to swim over before quickly closing them together.

Time ticked away by the second, and the icy-cold water was also transmitted to Lin Xiaoxiao’s hands. Before long, the chill seemed to penetrate her skin, as if reaching the bones.

At this moment, a few more fish swam over. Lin Xiaoxiao immediately focused intently on these fish and, when the timing seemed right, she abruptly clapped her hands together!

But the fish were too fast. When Lin Xiaoxiao brought her hands up, all she found was water.

Again!

The second time, still nothing.

The third time, nothing.

The fourth time, nothing.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t know how many times she had failed. As time went on, she felt increasingly aggrieved, and the sense of despair from the constant failures tightly seized her, causing tears to start swirling in her eyes.

"For my brother-in-law, I can’t give up!"

Lin Xiaoxiao stubbornly held back the tears in her eyes, refusing to let them fall.

Yes, her brother-in-law had protected her for so long without a word, and now it was her turn to protect him.

No matter what, she couldn’t give up. If she gave up, then there would be no one to protect her brother-in-law.

Lin Xiaoxiao brushed aside all the despair she felt from the previous failures and once again immersed herself seriously in fishing.

Lin Xiaoxiao’s hands were already icy cold, almost numb from the freeze.

But those hands just quietly lay in the water, unmoving, silently waiting for the fish to swim over.

It didn’t take long before a group of little fish swam over. Lin Xiaoxiao watched the school of fish with high tension, her hands silently and slowly drawing closer from below. At the moment when the fish were most clustered, she suddenly clapped her hands together in a cupping motion!

"Splash!"

Suddenly, her cupped hands brought up more than water, Lin Xiaoxiao saw that inside was a fish the size of a thumb.

"Wow, I caught one, I caught one."

Lin Xiaoxiao became excited. She had finally caught a fish and immediately ran over to Li Chen.

Although she was famished, her brother-in-law was hungry too and he mattered most. The first fish she caught must be given to Li Chen to eat.

"Brother-in-law, I caught a fish."

Approaching Li Chen, Lin Xiaoxiao dumped the water from her hands and then gripped the fish, which tried to struggle, but its small size hardly allowed any force.

Lin Xiaoxiao was about to place the little fish next to Li Chen’s lips but then remembered he was unconscious and couldn’t eat by himself.

Taking the fish back, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the still twitching little fish in her hand, bit down on her silver teeth, and made a decision!

Eyes closed, Lin Xiaoxiao threw the little fish into her mouth and fiercely bit down!

If she didn’t chew the fish into pieces, Li Chen wouldn’t be able to eat it, so Lin Xiaoxiao had to chew the fish up for him, although it was only thumb-sized.

Lin Xiaoxiao had never eaten anything raw before; she didn’t like Japanese food and hated raw stuff. This time, she was really pushing herself.

The moment her silver teeth bit into the fish, a fishy taste flooded her mouth, making Lin Xiaoxiao want to spit everything out.

However, she endured it. For Li Chen, who was unconscious, she had to chew this living fish to pieces.

Once again, the icy raw fish and its fishy taste made Lin Xiaoxiao nauseous; "ugh," she almost threw up; fortunately, she held it down at the last moment.
