2125 Underwater(Chapter preview)

One, two, three…

Qin Qin tossed one out and the people outside would catch that person. Then, the others would hurriedly take out pills and feed it to them.

After Qin Qin had tossed out all the people who were still alive, she collected the bones, closed her eyes and slowly walked out.

"Many thanks." The man in charge came in front of Qin Qin and bent himself low to the ground. He took out a crystal card and handed it to her.

Qin Qin took the crystal card and casually tossed it into her interspatial ring. Then, she took out a tiny jade bottle and said to him, "I've already rescued your men. It's not suitable for you to recuperate here at night. Take them and go."

The man in charge took the jade bottle emotionally then bowed deeply to her again. Then, he left with his men in tow.

Once they left, Mo Yu rushed over and said, "This is a pretty decent method. This way, there will not be anybody that we don't know camping over here."

"I was just speaking the truth." Qin Qin said, "When night falls, the air here brings with it a corrosive property. It's not a big deal if there are no injured people, but if injured people become even worse. It will be best for them to leave before night falls."

"I see. I didn't think that you would have such a kind heart." Mo Yu laughed.

"I've always been kind. All the bad parts of me have been extracted by Boss." Qin Qin complained, "It's a good thing that these days are coming to an end."

"Are you really going to leave?" Mo Yu asked, "Is it because I came, so you…"

"Lady Boss, you're thinking too much. I have always wanted to leave, but I just never had the chance." Qin Qin lay lazily on the tree. She looked at Sima You Yue, who was staring dazedly at the spring. She smiled lightly, then continued, "Now I finally have a fellow comrade and can leave this prison that has held me back for so many years. This is an opportunity."

"She can help you leave this place?" Mo Yu knew about her identity, so she knew about the reason why she was unable to leave the Abyss of Hell.

"She should be able to." Qin Qin was uncertain, "I have to try, don't I?"

"If you leave, he will be sad."

"Who? Boss?" Qin Qin raised her eyebrows.

"That's right. He'll lose a powerful subordinate."

"He won't. If he can control me, he'll be able to control anyone!" Qin Qin said with dissatisfaction. She saw that Sima You Yue was watching the spring without moving and all, so she walked over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm thinking of the use of this spring water." Sima You Yue said, "It can revive the dead and return flesh to bones. Is that not the effect of a divine medicine?"

"Are you saying that the divine medicine could be here?" Qin Qin looked at the spring suspiciously. She had lived nearby for so many years, but she never once thought about this possibility.

"Otherwise, how could a single drink from the spring have such effects?" Sima You Yue speculated.

"When you say it like that, it really does sound possible!" After Sima You Yue pointed it out, Qin Qin felt like it was possible, "Why don't I head down and take a look?"

"It will be very dangerous near the divine medicine." Sima You Yue said.

Nobody else can get close to the spring." Qin Qin pointed out a very painful fact.

"Alright then. If there is any danger, you have to come back up immediately." Sima You Yue said.

"I know. I'm not an idiot." Qin Qin said, "Although I have thought about how dying might enable me to return, I've never had the guts to try it all these hundreds of years."

"Let's wait till the sky darkens before going."

"Alright."

Sima You Yue watched Qin Qin and a genuine smile appeared on her face.

When the sky darkened, Qin Qin was prepared to go underwater. Sima You Yue reminded her once again to return the moment there was any danger.

"I never knew that you were such a naggy person!" Qin Qin waved her hands and began to draw near to the spring.

"You've obtained her recognition." Nai He walked beside Sima You Yue, "It's not something that just helping her can do. How did you do it? Could it be that you've also come from that place she talked about?"

"She's told you?"

"Mm."

Sima You Yue pitied Qin Qin a little. She even told him such a huge secret. At that time, she had treated him as her support here. However, she never received the love that she so craved for here.

Or could it be…

Sima You Yue watched Nai He, who was beyond himself with worry, and smiled.

Perhaps she just thought that she didn't.

Qin Qin came beside the spring in a very familiar manner. Before she went underwater, she looked back at them and gave Sima You Yue the hand sign that meant 'okay', then hopped in.

"What did that mean?" Nai He modelled Qin Qin's actions and asked.

"Okay, no problem." Sima You Yue said.

"Will there really be no problems?" Nai He asked in a small voice.

Sima You Yue didn't know whether or not there would be any issue either. Nobody had ever gone to the bottom of the spring in more than ten million years. Who knew what lay below? She wondered whether or not Qin Qin would face any danger underwater.

After a long while, when Nai He was teetering at the end of his patience and was prepared to go look for her, something happened in the spring.

First, the spring turned blood red, then there was a splashing sound and Qin Qin came out from inside the water.

When they saw her alive, everyone there heaved a sigh of relief.

"You're hurt!" Sima You Yue said when she saw the spring water dyed red.

Qin Qin smiled. She was happy that Sima You Yue was first concerned about her injury and not about the status of the divine medicine.

"A little." She climbed out from the spring and the clothes on her body were ripped apart in many places. There were even places where she had deep wounds, and bones were peeking out at other places.

How could this be classified as 'a little hurt'?

"We didn't hear anything from up here. How did you get so injured?" It was rare to see Old Jiang concerned about her.

"There was a barrier below. I merely entered the first level, and maybe it was the first layer of the barrier that blocked out any noise. I couldn't get any deeper inside the barrier." Qin Qin did not return immediately. Instead, she sat by the spring and ate two pills to recover from her wounds." However, what I can confirm is that there is definitely the Divine Medicine Flatfish below."

"You tried to go against the barrier, but even you were unable to break it open?" Nai He frowned.

To be able to encounter the divine medicine here was incredible. However, if they could not obtain it, wouldn't it hurt even more?

"That barrier is its defence. These kinds of divine medicine will have natural forms of protection." Qin Qin said, "If you want to obtain it, you first have to find a way to break the barrier."

Sima You Yue smiled, "I'm not afraid of barriers. I have a guy who can render barriers useless."

"You even have this type of contracted beast?"

"As long as I fuse with him, I will be able to nullify the barrier."

"Then this barrier is useless to you." Qin Qin said, "However, how will you get over there from here?"

This was the real problem.

"There will be a way." Sima You Yue said, "But let's head back first to treat your injuries. We'll discuss this again later."

Qin Qin rested for a long while. Once her internal spirit energy had recovered somewhat, she returned in the same manner. When she saw Sima You Yue staring at her, she raised her eyebrows, "Seeing the way you're acting, you probably have already come up with an idea?"
