Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg

"Okay!" Jiang Xue glanced at the distance between herself and the ceiling; indeed, she had to step on Mu Qiancheng’s shoulders.

So, Mu Qiancheng put Jiang Xue down, then squatted to let her step onto his shoulders, and then slowly stood up bit by bit.

Finally, Jiang Xue reached the mountain wall overhead and started to feel around. After a while, she found a protruding spot and pressed it hard. With her action, the wall suddenly cracked, startling her.

"Xue’er, what’s wrong, are you okay?" Mu Qiancheng was also startled. However, he couldn’t lift his head to see the situation above.

"I’m fine!" Jiang Xue replied, then looked toward the cracked wall and indeed saw several pearls embedded there.

She counted them; there were seven in total. Reaching out, she was about to take a pearl when the Little Fox’s voice rang out again, saying, "Woman, you can only take one; otherwise, if you take them all, the water cave will be flooded by the lake."

"Okay, I got it!" Jiang Xue, hearing the Little Fox, naturally didn’t take more. She only took one, leaving the other six behind. Besides, for them to get out, one Water-Repelling Pearl was enough.

After taking the Water-Repelling Pearl, Jiang Xue pressed the protrusion again, and the wall closed up once more. She knew there must be more things in this water cave besides the Snow Jade and these Water-Repelling Pearls just now.

However, today they didn’t have time to explore slowly, so they could only come back next time.

Thinking this, Jiang Xue put the Water-Repelling Pearl into her pocket and then said to Mu Qiancheng, "Qiancheng, you can let me down now."

Mu Qiancheng put Jiang Xue down and then asked, "What just happened?"

Jiang Xue didn’t answer Mu Qiancheng’s question but took out the Water-Repelling Pearl and said, "This is the Water-Repelling Pearl. When we go out, we won’t be afraid of water."

"Water-Repelling Pearl?" Mu Qiancheng looked curiously at the dark pearl in Jiang Xue’s hand, asking, "How do you know this is a Water-Repelling Pearl and not just an ordinary glass bead?"

"That’s a secret, I won’t tell you!" Jiang Xue replied with a smile, then put the item away and walked to the Water Monster’s side.

She put the Water Monster into space, then said to Mu Qiancheng, "Let’s go now."

"Sure!" Mu Qiancheng nodded, then left the water cave with Jiang Xue, heading forward. To prevent anyone from discovering the water cave, Jiang Xue deliberately walked dozens of meters ahead.

Fortunately, since she had the Water-Repelling Pearl, walking in the water was no problem at all. When she felt the distance was sufficient, she stopped, then took the Water Monster out of space, and emerged from the water with Mu Qiancheng.

The people on the shore were already anxious because they had been down there for half an hour, and apart from hearing the Water Monster’s roar at the start, there had been no sound since.

They worried that Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue had been eaten by the Water Monster and were all discussing it.

"How long has it been? The two of them haven’t come up yet; could something have really happened?"

"Exactly, it’s really worrying that they’ve been down there for so long and haven’t come up."

"They didn’t even have that diamond drill; why take on this porcelain job? Now look, they haven’t killed the monster and have thrown their lives away."

"Who knows, people will do anything to become famous."
