Chapter 990: A World Upside Down (17)
Chapter 990: A World Upside Down (17)
"All girls in the world are heartless, and it turns out you are no exception!" Bai Jun opened the treasure chest and took out the treasures one by one.
"These treasures are my savings over the years. I originally planned to use them to buy some real estate and land after returning home with you, so that we can live happily together for the rest of our lives without worries. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
"How ridiculous! I actually believe in true love in this world, and I believe in a heartless woman like you. Hahaha, how ridiculous!"
While laughing, he threw the treasures in the treasure chest into the river one by one.
"Hey, don't lose it, don't lose it!" Miss Sun shouted and tried to pull Bai Mudan back.
They were only four or five steps apart, so it was not difficult to pull the person back.
But Zhang Xuexue stood in front of Miss Sun, not letting him pass, and shouted, "Mudan, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had so many treasures? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have sold you for those thousands of taels of silver! Oh, don't throw you away, leave it to me, leave it to me!"
Bai Jun sank the last few pieces of jewelry along with the treasure chest into the water, then jumped into the river with a sad and angry mood.
Zhang Xuexue knew that Bai Jun could swim, so she was not that worried.
She stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the river and then at the surrounding environment.
"There's nothing unusual! I've finished Du Shiniang's storyline, and I didn't find any hidden stories. How come it's different from the time at the cinema?"
Zhang Xuexue muttered for a while, then lay on the bow and shouted: "Bai Jun is out, I'll pull you up!"
The water's edge was sparkling, reflecting the lights on the boats, but Bai Jun was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Xuexue was a little flustered and shouted a few times anxiously. Finally, she gritted her teeth and jumped into the water.
"Ms. Zhang!" Miss Sun was standing on the boat, stunned. "What's going on? They're committing suicide for love? Someone fell into the water! Help, help!"
Sang Feiwan and Yu Beiming were some distance apart on the shore, but they both had excellent eyesight and could see everything that happened on the boat from a distance.
After waiting for a minute or two, and still not seeing Zhang Xuexue and Bai Jun, Sang Feiwan's expression changed slightly: "There must be something at the bottom of the river! Let's go!"
The two of them performed a water-avoiding gesture and jumped into the water.
The water was not deep, and I soon reached the bottom. Water plants swayed beside me, and small fish swam around me. It looked no different from an ordinary river.
However, looking further away, I saw a huge abyss. I couldn't see the bottom of the abyss, nor could I see the other side. There was only endless coldness and darkness, like a trench that only appears in the deep ocean.
But such a strange space is hidden in this small river.
In real-world geography, this is absolutely impossible.
Zhang Xuexue and Bai Jun both disappeared.
Sang Feiwan and Yu Beiming looked at each other, and then swam towards the bottom of the water in tacit understanding.
When they reached the abyss, the temperature around them was even lower, as if they were in an ice cellar. Fortunately, both of them had spiritual power to protect their bodies, so there was not much impact.
The bottom of the abyss is very wide and deep. They have been descending for a long time but still cannot see the bottom.
Fortunately, at this time, they saw Zhang Xuexue and Bai Jun.
Bai Jun's eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be in a coma.
Zhang Xuexue had turned into a fish, with a large golden-red tail spreading out in the water like the train of an evening gown, showing her graceful figure. The clothes she had originally worn were still covering her body, floating lightly.
A man and a fish kissed gently in the water, as if they were performing a real-life story of a mermaid and a prince.
During this gentle kiss, Zhang Xuexue's spiritual power flowed into Bai Jun's mouth. He gradually regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.
He was a mortal, unable to see or speak in the dark water, so it was inevitable that he felt a little panicked.
Until Zhang Xuexue's voice came to my ears: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Hold my tail and don't let go. I've given you some spiritual energy so you won't suffocate, nor will you be affected by the water pressure. Hey, what are you touching on my chest for? I asked you to hold my tail! My tail!"
"How can I tell which is the tail and which is the chest? Besides, you are a fish now, and your chest is bare..."
Fortunately, they were in the water and he couldn't speak. Otherwise, if Zhang Xuexue heard him, Bai Jun might have sunk to the bottom of the river today.
After some searching, Bai Jun finally caught Zhang Xuexue.
Just as Zhang Xuexue was about to swim towards the surface with Bai Jun, she saw Sang Feiwan and Yu Beiming.
"Wanwan!" Zhang Xuexue swam over happily, "Oh, I've been looking for you for a long time!"
Bai Jun was not like Zhang Xuexue, a water elf who could speak freely. He opened his mouth and took a big gulp of cold river water, but couldn't utter a word.
Sang Feiwan used telepathy to transmit his voice: "We saw you two jump into the river just now and haven't come out yet, so we followed you here."
Zhang Xuexue glanced at Bai Jun beside her and said, "Let's get ashore first, otherwise this stupid boy will drown himself."
"Who are you saying is stupid?" Bai Jun opened his mouth and gulped down another big gulp of water.
"The abyss in this river is extraordinary. Perhaps we can find the truth about this world in it. We must go down and find out. The four of us should stay together and not separate at will."
Sang Feiwan raised his hand and drew a circle underwater, creating a bubble barrier that enveloped Bai Jun.
Bai Jun was able to speak immediately: "Finally I can speak, I was almost suffocating!"
At this moment, he was in a huge bubble barrier, completely separated from the water. He could not breathe freely or speak casually.
He looked around curiously, put his palm out of the bubble, and the bubble did not burst, and he could even touch Zhang Xuexue's scales.
Zhang Xuexue started to curse again: "Don't touch my body, or I will be rude to you!"
Bai Jun quickly said: "Ah, I'm sorry, Xuexue, I didn't mean to do that. I wanted to pull your tail, but it was an accident, really an accident!"
Zhang Xuexue glared at him a few times, obviously unhappy, but still stretched out her tail for him to hold.
Yu Beiming looked at the flirting duo helplessly, shook his head helplessly, and sent a telepathic message: "The situation below is unclear, please pay attention and don't get distracted."
Bai Jun held Zhang Xuexue's tail tighter: "This is a vast expanse of water. If we get lost, we'll really be dead."
