Chapter 147: The Miserable Su Youyu

Chapter 147: The Miserable Su Youyu

Seeing the sneer on Qin Xuan's face, Su Youyu simply decided to give up and begged, "Senior Brother, if you think I am spouting nonsense, I will just introduce my Third Sister to you."

"My Third Sister is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and she is a perfect match for you. The key is that her figure and cultivation are far superior to me, a mere vase; she is certainly worthy of you, Senior Brother."

Su Youyu's fair, slender calves were already starting to cramp in the Three Thousand Weak Waters.

She was swaying unsteadily, struggling frantically, and had already begun to sink toward the bottom of the water.

The Three Thousand Weak Waters kept pouring into her mouth, choking her until tears streamed down her face.

Tsk! Act, keep acting.

He really wanted to see how long this Su Youyu could keep up the act.

Even Qin Xuan had not expected that Su Youyu could betray her master and ancestors with such a lack of psychological burden, selling out the third one among the Seven Pearls of Mingyue just like that.

Come on, Su Youyu was the Daughter of Luck designated by the System.

Could she really be such a traitor, a wicked woman who would do such things that harm others for her own benefit?

Don't joke around; the more righteous Su Youyu sounded, the more uninhibited she was.

It only proved that she had absolutely no intention of following through.

Let Su Youyu go just like that, without getting any benefits?

Qin Xuan was not some great philanthropist who could just laugh off grudges.

He just lay on the island, quietly watching Su Youyu's graceful, synchronized-swimming-like postures.

Bobbing up and down, her head surfacing one moment and submerging the next.

That frequency was only slightly less intense than when Qin Xuan plundered Villain Points.

About two hours later, Su Youyu's small face was deathly pale. She struggled with great difficulty to poke her head above the water, gasping for breath, her speech stuttering.

Only then did Qin Xuan slowly say, "Come up."

Seeing the wariness in the beautiful eyes on Su Youyu's pale, pretty face, Qin Xuan continued, "Rest assured, I won't touch you."

Su Youyu crossed her arms over her chest and climbed toward the shore with difficulty, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at Qin Xuan.

She was shivering all over. Feeling her body gradually losing warmth, she muttered angrily, "This Three Thousand Weak Waters is too eerie. Even though I've come ashore, I can't use Qi to disperse the icy cold brought by the Three Thousand Weak Waters; it's like falling into an ice pit."

She clutched her chest tightly, afraid that her increasingly alluring body, revealed by her semi-transparent dress after being soaked in the Three Thousand Weak Waters, would further entice Qin Xuan.

She worried that she would be forcibly taken by Qin Xuan on this godforsaken little island.

"Senior Brother, since you have given up on those improper thoughts, why didn't you let me come up earlier? I'm about to be frozen into an ice sculpture!"

Su Youyu complained indignantly.

If Qin Xuan hadn't been guarding the shore, she wouldn't have ended up in such a state of hypothermia.

Qin Xuan lazily rested his head on his hands, staring at Su Youyu playfully, "You are so cautious; when you first cried for help, how could I be sure that you really had no energy left?"

"You got me trapped with you on this godforsaken island. If I only forced you to go for a swim, what if you try to scheme against me again next time?"

"This time, it's a warning to you. If there is a next time…" His gaze unscrupulously swept over Su Youyu's hazy, graceful figure beneath her dress, and he said wickedly, "You know what that means."

Su Youyu swallowed hard; the icy cold of the Three Thousand Weak Waters made her shiver uncontrollably.

She finally understood.

Qin Xuan had long since seen through her little schemes and had never believed the empty promises she painted.

He had even figured out her personality completely, not giving her any chance to take advantage of him!

Had she known this, she shouldn't have used the true phoenix feather to teleport Qin Xuan here.

It caused her to gain nothing, only to be left shivering all over from the cold of the Three Thousand Weak Waters.

"Come sit here." Qin Xuan patted the ground beside him, urging Su Youyu.

Su Youyu shrank her head, shook it, and smiled awkwardly, "Senior Brother, I'm an eyesore here, so I won't bother you. I'll go to the other side of the island."

She was no match for Qin Xuan to begin with.

And right now, she was weak all over.

If she got any closer to Qin Xuan, she wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

Only a fool would willingly deliver themselves like fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

Qin Xuan's tone turned firm, "I said, come here and sit by my side!"

Su Youyu shouted angrily, "Qin Xuan, don't you go back on your word!"

"I, Su Youyu, will soak in the water tonight."

"Even if I get bloated from soaking in the Three Thousand Weak Waters."

"I would rather die outside the island than sit by your side!"

Hmph!

Su Youyu snorted coldly, ignored Qin Xuan, and with a splash, jumped back into the Three Thousand Weak Waters.

She clung to the edge of the island and began to swim toward the other side.

Qin Xuan didn't stop her; he closed his eyes and went straight to sleep.

About an hour later, hearing the soft crunch of footsteps on sand, Qin Xuan slightly opened his eyes. He glanced sideways at Su Youyu, who should have been on the other side of the island, and feigned ignorance, "Didn't you say you were going to the other side of the island? What's wrong, back again?"

Su Youyu pouted and collapsed onto the ground not far from Qin Xuan, sulking angrily, "You're asking when you already know the answer!"

"The Three Thousand Weak Waters are rising. The entire island is submerged except for this spot, which is the highest point. All other areas have been flooded within this hour!"

"If I don't come ashore, I will really freeze to death!"

She sat hugging her knees beside Qin Xuan, watching the sparkling Three Thousand Weak Waters drawing ever closer.

As time passed, even the tiny spot where she sat began to be lapped at by the Three Thousand Weak Waters.

The bone-chilling cold could not be resisted with Qi.

She could only shift her bottom slightly, inching toward Qin Xuan's side.

It wasn't about giving in; it was just that only the spot where Qin Xuan was sitting was safe and had not yet been encroached upon by the Three Thousand Weak Waters.

Qin Xuan turned his head and looked at Su Youyu, who was within arm's reach, and said amusedly, "Didn't you say that even if you were soaked in the water until you were bloated, and even if you died outside the island, you would never sit by my side?"

Su Youyu pouted with sorrow. While feeling aggrieved, she also felt that she had lost all face and had nowhere to hide.

She just wanted to dig a big hole in the sand and bury her head in it so she wouldn't have to hear whatever Qin Xuan said, and she wouldn't feel so embarrassed.

But she was also afraid that if only her large backside was left exposed, it would make Qin Xuan unable to suppress the wicked fire in his lower abdomen and take advantage of the opportunity to possess her.

The bright moonlight, reflected by the swaying Three Thousand Weak Waters, became unsteady.

With the water rippling, Su Youyu's heart felt as if it had sunk to the bottom of the dark water. She cried out in despair, "Why is the Three Thousand Weak Waters still rising?"

"Are we going to be soaked in the Three Thousand Weak Waters for the entire night?"

"I haven't even managed to drive away the cold from the Three Thousand Weak Waters yet. If I soak in it again and still can't use my Qi, won't I really freeze to death!?"

She was going crazy!

She knew that this Land of Fallen Emperors was extremely dangerous.

But she had never imagined it would be this savage.

It wouldn't leave even the slightest glimmer of hope.

It was equivalent to a death sentence the moment one landed.

Su Youyu's expression gradually became serious as she felt the icy cold of the Three Thousand Weak Waters soaking into the skirt beneath her.

The bone-chilling cold made her expression increasingly grave. She turned to look at Qin Xuan and finally lowered her head in shame, "Senior Brother, I'm sorry."

"I really didn't know the situation would evolve to this point. I've never heard that the Three Thousand Weak Waters is a dead end."

"There have been people who walked out of here alive."

"I didn't expect to implicate you and cause you to suffer as well."

When she crushed the true phoenix feather, she just thought having one more person would be better for discussing plans.

After all, there had been people who walked out of the Three Thousand Weak Waters alive.

With Qin Xuan there, she felt more confident.

Who could have predicted that the place where she landed was unique and doomed to be a certain death the moment she arrived?

"You know you were wrong now?"

Qin Xuan sneered and rolled his eyes, "At least you still have a bit of humanity."

Su Youyu felt the Three Thousand Weak Waters increasingly submerging her body. Afraid and bitter, she said helplessly, "It should be you, Senior Brother, who has humanity."

"If it were me, and someone implicated me to this extent, I would have the heart to strangle her!"

"That wouldn't be necessary."

Qin Xuan replied softly, though he couldn't help but want to laugh inside.

Su Youyu had schemed against him, but had he ever given her an easy time?

When Su Youyu went into the water, he had already noticed that the surrounding Three Thousand Weak Waters were rising.

And he had investigated that there was a patch of land on this island that would not be submerged.

Dangerous as this place was, it wasn't a certain death.

As long as one stood in that area of less than half a zhang, holding out for one night would be completely fine, without any hindrance.

After all, they were both Cultivators; what kind of harm could come from standing without sleep for one night?

As for that area that wouldn't be submerged?

It used to exist, but now it was gone.

Qin Xuan had used his Qi to flatten it!
