Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Seeing the Light of Day Again

Fang Bai knew that leaving a delicate fifteen-year-old girl here alone required her to overcome a great deal of psychological fear in order to manage it, the fact that she had held back her tears until now was already quite remarkable.

"Ruhua, I have some good news..."

Embracing the slender figure of the girl in his arms, allowing her to cry for a while, and waiting until her sobs subsided, Fang Bai then spoke in a warm voice, "I’ve found a way out, we can escape now!"

"Really?"

Dongfang Ruhua stopped crying, stepped out of Fang Bai’s embrace, and looked up at him with her pretty face, her expression filled with indescribable joy.

Dongfang Ruhua liked the sunshine, and the colorful world. Having been stuck in this dark and damp environment for an extended period had made her feel oppressed and gloomy.

"Really. But..."

Fang Bai nodded solemnly and said, "We need to take a water route to escape, and it will involve diving deep underwater, the process is a bit long... Can you swim?"

"I can!"

Dongfang Ruhua blinked her eyes, saying, "I learned to swim at a swimming pool before. I’m really good at it, neither my sister nor my mother could catch up with me."

Upon hearing those words, Fang Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Dongfang Ruhua had learned to swim, she at least wouldn’t be afraid of the water, otherwise, leading someone who had never touched water before would significantly increase the difficulty.

"That’s good. From now on, you do as I say. Understand?"

"Mhm."

Seeing the seriousness in Fang Bai’s face, Dongfang Ruhua couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous as she nodded vigorously.

"Close your eyes, you can only open them when I tell you to!"

Fang Bai said in a deep voice.

Thinking of what Fang Bai had just said, Dongfang Ruhua obediently closed her eyes and then felt Fang Bai’s arm gently wrap around her waist.

"Big brother tells me to close my eyes and embraces me, what does he want to do?"

As Dongfang Ruhua pondered, her body slightly warmed, her little face involuntarily blushing, and her heart began to harbour faint anticipation.

Suddenly, Dongfang Ruhua felt her feet leave the ground as if she floated into the air and then slowly descended towards a certain spot.

With Fang Bai by her side, Dongfang Ruhua no longer felt fear, on the contrary, she felt a bit of excitement and anticipation, thinking that she would dare to venture through mountains of knives or seas of fire with big brother.

Splash—

There was a light sound of water, and Dongfang Ruhua felt her body suddenly immersed in water, causing her to be slightly startled.

However, she always remembered Fang Bai’s words. Although she was incredibly amazed, she didn’t open her eyes, entrusting her safety fully into Fang Bai’s hands.

"Next, we may have to swim underwater for some time. You hold my hand, just keep your eyes closed, and don’t panic. Everything will be alright with me here. Adjust your breathing now, and when I count to three, take a deep breath and hold it..."

Fang Bai’s voice rose next to Dongfang Ruhua’s ear, as she quietly listened and began to adjust her breathing.

"One... two... get ready... three..."

When Fang Bai said the words "get ready," Dongfang Ruhua closed her mouth and held her breath.

When Fang Bai counted to "three," Dongfang Ruhua only felt her right hand tightening as she was pulled by Fang Bai. Her entire body submerged into the water and swiftly descended toward the deeper parts.

She didn’t know how long had passed, but Dongfang Ruhua felt the water pressure gradually increasing, the water temperature starting to drop, and there was a slight feeling of suffocation in her chest, causing a little panic to flicker in her heart.

Just then, she sensed a stream of energy flowing from the palm that held Fang Bai’s. That stream rapidly spread throughout her body; the pressure of the water and the sensation of suffocation in her chest vanished in an instant.

Dongfang Ruhua felt as if she had transformed into a fish, swimming swiftly forward following Fang Bai. If not for Fang Bai’s earlier admonition, she would have really liked to open her eyes to see the surroundings.

It felt as though a long century had passed when the feeling of chest congestion attacked Dongfang Ruhua once again. Suddenly, the water pressure quickly reduced, and then her head emerged above the water surface.

Although she remembered Fang Bai’s words and kept her eyes closed, Dongfang Ruhua could already feel the sunlight shining down on her.

"It’s okay now, Ruhua, you can open your eyes,"

Fang Bai’s gentle voice rang in her ears.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ruhua rapidly opened her eyes.

Perhaps because she had spent too long in the pitch darkness of the cave, her eyes couldn’t adjust to the intense sunlight at first—they stung, and she felt a swelling sensation, forcing her to close them again.

"It’s alright now,"

Fang Bai said, smiling while gently massaging her Taiyang Acupoints on both sides.

Gradually, Dongfang Ruhua reopened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Fang Bai’s face, bright with a sunny smile.

Then, she looked around and saw that she and Fang Bai were in the middle of a small river, surrounded by towering mountains. The setting sun was peeking through the gaps in the mountains, shining on her face, still feeling somewhat hot.

Having escaped the darkness, coldness, and dampness, and returning to a world full of sunshine, Dongfang Ruhua’s tears once again flowed.

But this time, they were tears of joy and happiness.

After the two of them reached the shore, they exchanged glances, Dongfang Ruhua didn’t think there was anything inappropriate, but Fang Bai coughed lightly and turned his back on her.

Dongfang Ruhua’s light pink T-shirt was originally quite thin, and now with her body wet, the clothes clung tightly to her skin, outlining the mature shape of her chest and the rounded curves of her hips, even her close-fitting pink bra was clearly visible, presenting a visual impact.

If he were facing an adult woman, Fang Bai wouldn’t mind taking a good look at her attractive figure and graceful posture, but since Dongfang Ruhua was only a fifteen-year-old girl, he felt it improper to stare.

"Go behind that big rock and change out of your wet clothes, wear this one of mine for now!"

Fang Bai casually took out a set of clean, spare clothes from his Spatial Ring and handed them to Dongfang Ruhua with his back turned, then walked a bit farther away with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Fang Bai suddenly turn his back, Dongfang Ruhua was initially puzzled, but upon glancing down at her own body, her face flushed red.

"Thank you, big brother!"

After taking the clothes from Fang Bai, Dongfang Ruhua, like a startled rabbit, quickly ran behind a large rock not too far away. She took off her wet clothes and put on the ones given by Fang Bai.

Although Fang Bai’s clothes were somewhat large, they were clean and neat, emitting a scent of sunshine, making Dongfang Ruhua feel incredibly comfortable wearing them.

She lowered her head and sniffed the clothes, seemingly detecting that unique intoxicating scent of Fang Bai, which made her face turn even redder.

"Big brother, I’ve changed..."

When Dongfang Ruhua shyly walked out from behind the big rock wearing Fang Bai’s clothes, Fang Bai couldn’t help but be taken aback by the sight before him.
