Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Three People Sleeping Together

Splosh!

A jet of water shot up into the sky, reaching over ten meters high.

The rapidly falling trio directly smashed into the deep pool.

If it hadn’t been for Lin Fan who had already maximized his Protective Gang Qi,

enveloping the three of them completely,

the fall from such a height would have been enough to kill them on impact.

The bone-chilling cold instantly wrapped around the three of them.

Falling into the water felt almost like being reborn.

Having regained his life, Lin Fan confirmed he was uninjured.

He then hurriedly treaded water, pulling the two women toward a side where the current was more stable.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Not until they touched the edge in the pitch dark,

did Lin Fan push the two women, who had swallowed some water, directly onto the shore.

In the darkness where one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face, the two women lay shivering on the cold stone slab.

The two women, continuously coughing up water, were utterly exhausted.

"Are you two alright?"

Lin Fan also felt around in the dark, climbing onto shore.

Even with his excellent eyesight, in this darkness, he could only see a rough outline.

The place in front of them was a small stone platform.

At least it could provide them a temporary shelter.

"I thought I was definitely going to die this time,"

Xu Zhi Rou was the first to rise to her feet.

Kneeling on the ground, she couldn’t see anything.

"Don’t celebrate too soon, we can’t be sure we’ll survive yet,"

Lin Fan looked up at the opening above.

The original entrance was now only the size of a fingernail.

That distance was at least a hundred meters away.

Moreover, water constantly flowed down from the top of the cave.

Even Lin Fan alone wasn’t sure he could make his way back up.

"Sorry, I dragged you both down with me,"

Ning Mengyao still lay on the ground.

Powerless, she knew well that she was the catalyst for their plight.

"I told you, it’s not your fault, too bad this Wind Stabilizing Pearl isn’t a Luminous Pearl; otherwise, we might be able to find a way to escape. I have no idea what’s happening above either,"

Lin Fan felt the Wind Stabilizing Pearl in his hand.

This object could contain the Drought demon aboveground.

But down here, it was no different from an ordinary glass ball.

"Originally, I wanted to jump down with you all earlier, but Beitiao Qian Naizi had immobilized me, making it impossible to move. Luckily, at that moment, the Drought demon broke free from her restraints, shattering all her puppets. I took advantage of her distraction from being attacked to jump down,"

Xu Zhi Rou briefly explained the situation above.

This time, without the Wind Stabilizing Pearl,

Beitiao Qian Naizi, let alone catching the Drought demon,

might not even have a chance to escape.

"You two wait here for me a moment, I remember just now several were knocked down here; maybe there’s some supplies on their bodies,"

Lin Fan recalled the fight scenes from before.

Only then did he remember, some had fallen before them.

He wondered if there might be supplies on their bodies.

In the darkness, only the sound of water striking the pool echoed.

Ning Mengyao, feeling her way, got up and touched Xu Zhi Rou.

Guilt-ridden, she tightly gripped Xu Zhi Rou’s cold hand.

"Zhi Rou, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for being useless, causing you to jump down as well,"

"Meng Yao, what are you saying? I’m the one who dragged you all down, putting you in danger. If anything had happened to you, I could never atone for it even with hundreds of deaths,"

Xu Zhi Rou hurriedly responded.

"It’s all because of my weakness that I was so easily captured, and I was useless along the way, becoming a burden to you all. If I had known it would be like this, I should not have followed him and added to the chaos."

The thing Ning Mengyao regretted most now was trying to be strong and coming here.

Along the way, she had become a complete burden.

"Meng Yao, to be honest, not just you and me, do you think there’s anyone who wouldn’t be a burden when with your husband? If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t even know how many times we could have died. It’s only fair to say you have a keen eye for picking a good husband."

Xu Zhi Rou held Ning Mengyao’s hand.

She truly envied her from the bottom of her heart.

After all, Lin Fan’s strength had long surpassed human limits.

Being with him brought an absolute sense of safety.

"That just proves that he is too blind, to find someone useless like me to be his wife—someone who only adds chaos without any ability. Perhaps... he should find someone better."

Ning Mengyao looked down.

This trip to Evil Island had been a complete shock to her.

She had never imagined Lin Fan could be so exceptional.

Perhaps, she should not have forced him to marry her by leveraging that knife incident back then.

"Meng Yao, what are you talking about? The moment you jumped down earlier, Lin Fan didn’t hesitate at all and jumped down after you. You jumped to free him from constraints, and he jumped down to ensure you wouldn’t die alone. Such a loving and righteous relationship, how could there be anyone better?"

Xu Zhi Rou urgently comforted her.

"Then why did you also jump down?"

Ning Mengyao’s counter-question left Xu Zhi Rou speechless.

Right.

When the couple decided to die for each other, why did she also intervene?

But seeing Lin Fan’s anguish as he jumped, she lost the courage to live as well.

Just as Xu Zhi Rou was incredibly awkward and at a loss for words,

Lin Fan’s voice broke the awkwardness.

"Found it..."

With a crisp sound, a light shone on the water’s surface.

It was from a glow stick.

Though it wasn’t very bright, it was enough to clearly see the surroundings.

Before them lay a huge pool, and at that moment, there were a few floating bodies.

Chewing on a glow stick, Lin Fan scrounged up quite a few supplies from their bodies.

He then returned to the platform once again.

"Not bad, this food and chocolate should last us for at least three days. We don’t have many glow sticks, but they’ll last us a while, and I saw a huge water outlet on the right side that might lead us out."

Wiping the water off his face, Lin Fan pointed across.

That cave was clearly man-made.

Although it was unknown where it led, it might be their way out.

"When do we leave?"

Hearing there was a way out, Xu Zhi Rou immediately perked up.

"Judging by the time, it’s very late already; we’ll sleep here tonight and set out after waking up."

Seeing the pale faces of the two women, Lin Fan knew they were very exhausted.

Additionally, considering the time, it must have been late already.

What might happen on the journey ahead was unknown.

Thus, they had to rest first.

"We... sleep here?"

Xu Zhi Rou looked doubtfully at the damp platform before them.

It was cold and moist here, and their clothes were all soaked through.

Unable to start a fire for warmth, how were they to rest?

"There’s no other choice, after all, it’s uncertain whether there will be such a path ahead. If it’s cold, we’ll just have to embrace each other for warmth,"

Lin Fan sighed helplessly.

He possessed survival skills, but he was not a god.

In such a godforsaken place, he couldn’t just conjure up wood.

So tonight, the three of them had to huddle together.
