Chapter 19 You Don't Know

  Jing Sheng felt as if he had just woken up from a very long dream.

  He was trapped in the maze, with all directions leading to forks in the road, and he had no idea which way to go. He could only grit his teeth and choose one path, but halfway through, he was chased by several giant, snake-like vines that made him retreat hastily. The return route was also sealed off, with a large fire burning fiercely, as if it had a life of its own, chasing after him and scorching his body until it almost melted away.

  Just as he was walking and had no way to go, the originally intact stone wall suddenly cracked open a gap. He didn't think twice and crawled in, thinking it was an escape; but his foot slipped, and he fell into a pool of water that was bottomless and edgeless.

  The place was so dark that he couldn't see, and he struggled to thrash about, but still sank down. Just when he felt hopeless and thought he was going to die, suddenly some kind of force pulled him up, pulling him upwards.

  He clung to that power like a drowning man clinging to a piece of driftwood, finally able to catch his breath. In fact, the thing felt just like a piece of driftwood, but driftwood could never have had such great strength...

  At this point, Jing Sheng finally opened his eyes.

  What still catches the eye is the unchanged gray stone wall and the inlaid night pearls. The white light shines brightly, illuminating the surroundings with a majestic atmosphere.

  Jing Sheng rubbed his forehead and suddenly realized he was sitting in a corner of the wall, feeling that something was off.

  He remembered being in the maze, and he also remembered smelling a rather enticing sweet fragrance. But what happened afterwards? He felt his body heat up slightly, but didn't think much of it, continuing to walk forward; however, halfway through, his consciousness became muddled.

  He remembered the heat, remembered that he seemed to have torn off all his clothes and still couldn't relieve it, and remembered that he had walked wildly in the maze like a madman, just to find an outlet that would make his body explode. In the end, he seemed to have found it, but the remaining feeling was not only refreshing, but also a withered wooden touch...

  Jing Sheng subconsciously swept a glance over his body. Everything was in order, just like when he first entered the maze.

  So was that enchanting scene really happening or just his dream?

  And what about withered wood?

  Jing Sheng thought of Mu Lian's left arm that had withered into a dead branch, and he was suddenly shocked awake. Hadn't he taken advantage of her when she lost consciousness?

  The feeling of that dream was so real that Jing Sheng pulled his mountain suit once without trusting, and stood up to look around. The clothes were indeed intact, and there was no one around him. He walked a few steps and soon found himself near the last mark he made.

  If everything before was his illusion, then the current situation is perfectly logical and flawless.

  Jing Sheng furrowed his brow. He still felt that something was off, but he couldn't put his finger on it. His body felt like it had been thoroughly relieved of its pent-up energy; yet apart from this feeling, he had no evidence whatsoever.

  Is he really too worried?

  Jing Sheng was very suspicious, but thinking about it now seemed to be of no use. He sorted out his memories and walked towards another fork in the road.

  Hearing the footsteps fade away, Du Ying let out a sigh of relief after two turns.

  Due to physical reasons, he woke up earlier than Rong Sheng, so the scene he saw was absolutely not ordinary - two people were naked and entwined together, with torn fabric scattered all over the floor; even more straightforwardly, the other person's thing was still inside him...

  Even if there was no human sense of shame, Du Ying's old face turned red at that time. In fact, he had to admit that even if Jing Sheng hadn't given him such a blow, he would probably have surrendered in the end anyway.

  Don't look at his face that can be considered delicate, Jin Sheng is actually an unstoppable strong man!

  Just as Du Ying was thinking about how to deal with this matter, he finally discovered the key - his left hand had automatically and spontaneously returned to its original state!

  Du Ying was stunned for a while before he realized what had caused it - his opponent must have left something in his body!

  Should he say that Wen Jing is indeed something? The five elements are yin, which is just right for him at this time.

  A blessing in disguise...?

  Du Ying's eyes twitched. He swore that in eight lifetimes he would never have thought of using this method to recover his strength, but that didn't mean it was a bad thing. With his body recovered, there were more things he could do...

  So when Jing Sheng woke up, he didn't see anything because Du Ying had taken the suspicious things away one step ahead. Moreover, he had also estimated when Jing Sheng would wake up and took him to the correct intersection one step ahead. If there were no accidents, he could still give Jing Sheng some hints on the maze path behind, equivalent to walking together.

  Rather than going to such trouble, Du Ying had decided to let that one night of spring breeze leave no trace. Anyway, Jiang Sheng didn't remember it, and if he didn't say anything, then wouldn't it be as if heaven and earth knew but you and I didn't?

  Let's talk about Su Yu again. He originally wanted to deal with Jiang Siqi first before solving his own problems, but the unexpected twist halfway through made him lose all interest. After Jiang Siqi fell asleep from exhaustion, he sat on the side thinking about his problem.

  Xiao Qi said that, completely unconscious!

  It's terrible if it's unconscious, which means it's subconscious!

  Subconsciously... probably just because they're close to me?

  What kind of intimacy would make Xiao Qi call out that person's name in bed?

  His mind was in a state of turmoil, and Su Yu had a headache that wouldn't go away. He glanced sideways at Jiang Siqi, who was sleeping peacefully, but his own heart was filled with anxiety.

  Annoying!

  Su You defined the matter in his heart. Then he noticed the sticky feeling on his body and the obvious smell floating in the air, and had no choice but to resign himself to picking up the person again.

  Anyway, I still have to get out of this maze. Of course, it would be even better if there was a pool along the way...

  Su You had always been lucky since he was young, and this time it was also verified - after three intersections, a clear and serene small lake appeared in front of him.

  Having learned a lesson from the golden and silver mountain, Su was particularly careful this time. Who knows if the lake water is poisonous or not, and whether there are any monsters at the bottom? So he forcibly broke off pieces of rock from the wall and threw them in with one breath.

  The stone sank down, and nothing happened.

  Su You looked back and forth again, making sure that there was no problem visible to the naked eye before using her hand to splash some water. The water quality was clear, cool and smooth, very comfortable. Now it's almost five o'clock, after struggling all the way without drinking a drop of water, she finally tried to drink two mouthfuls.

  It's just the taste of mountain spring water outside!

  Su Yu was delighted and quickly helped Jiang Siqi over, using her hands to scoop up water and feed him a few mouthfuls. Jiang Siqi was clearly very thirsty as well, and even though he was unconscious, he still cooperated by swallowing. However, it wasn't very neat, and some of the water slid down his lips and dripped off.

  Su Yu habitually wanted to reach out and wipe, but suddenly Jiang Siqi's appearance of biting him appeared in his mind, and he was stuck. He thought about it, but couldn't come up with an answer, so he had no choice but to take a deep breath, take off his own vest as a towel, and prepare to wipe the two of them clean.

  Damn it, even if I don't go today, I still can't let Xiao Qi know what happened!

  Su You was such a stubborn person. He carefully cleaned up Jiang Siqi first, then tidied himself up. However, just as he was half-kneeling by the lake, wiping and wiping, a hand suddenly reached out from behind him, almost scaring him into falling directly into the lake.

  "......Brother, it's me!" Jiang Siqi's voice was still weak, with a hint of frustration at the failed prank.

  Su You flipped over and sat on the ground, clutching his heart and panting heavily. "You still know I'm your brother!" he almost shouted, "When you wake up, just speak directly, don't be so startled!"

  "I just wanted to give you a..." The surprise that followed was swallowed back by Jiang Siqi himself, because he finally remembered that the time and place were not right. "... Didn't we fall asleep in the wooden house?" He looked around in confusion, "Where is this place?"

  Su Yu thought of giving the kid a pair of white eyes and then fainting. How stupid can he be, waking up and not caring about anything else, just knowing how to scare him?
