Chapter 305 Self-rescue
Chu Yunxi screamed when she fell off the cliff. The feeling of weightlessness made her mind go blank for a moment, but she reacted quickly. Without thinking too much, she instinctively took out the Flying Tiger Claw from the Liyue Bracelet and released it upwards. The Flying Tiger Claw whizzed upwards. Chu Yunxi didn't know how deep the cliff was, so she could only close her eyes and leave it to fate.
Chu Yunxi felt something heavy on her hand, and her heart was filled with joy. The Flying Tiger Claw caught something, and her body stopped falling. However, before she could react, someone around her fell down. Chu Yunxi reached out and grabbed Xiao Mubei's arm.
Chu Yunxi was dragged down by his downward force. She clenched her teeth and asked, "Why did you jump down too?"
"How can I let you come down alone?" Xiao Mubei looked up and saw that the Flying Tiger Claw should have hooked onto the cliff above. Chu Yunxi was holding the Flying Tiger Claw with one hand and pulling herself with the other, with a painful expression on her face. He knew that she couldn't hold on for long in this position.
Xiao Mubei naturally would not sit still and wait for death. He grabbed one of Chu Yunxi's feet with his other hand, took a deep breath, and leaped onto Chu Yunxi. He grabbed the rope of the Flying Tiger Claw and at the same time pulled Chu Yunxi up with one hand and held her in his arms.
Chu Yunxi felt relieved as the weight on her hands was removed. She leaned into Xiao Mubei's arms and gasped for breath, her hands hanging at her sides and shaking constantly.
Although Xiao Mubei's arms were stronger than hers and he didn't have to exert much effort in holding Chu Yunxi, the Flying Tiger Claw had limited endurance. With the weight of two people on it, the rope couldn't hold on for long, and the crisis had not been resolved.
Chu Yunxi panted and said, "Why are you so stupid? Why did you jump down with me? I may not die."
"Whether it's life or death, I'll be with you." After Xiao Mubei said this, Chu Yunxi felt that no matter how tired she was just now, it was worth it. She even thought that even if she really fell off the cliff and died today, she would have no regrets.
But who wants to die when they can live? Xiao Mubei looked up. It was already bright outside. Although it was dark inside, it was not as dark as at night. He could vaguely see that there seemed to be a hole where the flying tiger claw was clinging.
"Hold me tight and don't let go."
Chu Yunxi hurriedly hugged his waist tightly. Xiao Mubei grabbed the rope with both hands, took a deep breath and jumped up. His two hands alternately climbed the rope, and his body quickly climbed up a long way.
Chu Yunxi opened her eyes and looked down. It was dark and foggy below. She couldn't tell how deep it was or what was below. Chu Yunxi intuitively felt that there wouldn't be anything good down there.
Soon, Xiao Mubei climbed the rope to the end of the Flying Tiger Claw. There was indeed a cave here. Xiao Mubei took a deep breath and hugged Chu Yunxi's waist and flew up. The moment his feet touched the ground, Chu Yunxi let out a long breath. His life was finally saved.
After putting away the Flying Tiger Claw, the two sat on the cliff to rest for a while. Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei without blinking. Xiao Mubei felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him and asked, "What's wrong? Is my face dirty?"
"No, I just think you look more handsome again." Chu Yunxi said with a smile.
Xiao Mubei knew that Chu Yunxi was teasing him, so he also laughed, "You are still naughty at this time."
Chu Yunxi stretched her body lazily. "This is a good time. We just got our lives back. Isn't this the best time?"
What he said made sense. Anyway, when it came to speaking, Xiao Mubei would definitely not be able to beat Chu Yunxi.
Seeing him shaking his head lovingly, Yun Xi thought that the person in front of her was so adorable, and she suddenly pounced on him without thinking. Xiao Mubei was caught off guard and was almost knocked to the ground by her. He hurriedly supported the ground with his hands behind his back, so he did not fall down. As soon as he stabilized his body, warm lips kissed him.
Xiao Mubei was completely stunned. Chu Yunxi didn't know any skills, she just wanted to kiss him, so she took action. After kissing him, she saw that Xiao Mubei didn't move. Their eyes met, and they were so close. She felt embarrassed again and hurriedly wanted to get up and leave. Unexpectedly, Xiao Mubei suddenly pressed the back of her head with one hand and pushed her head down again.
This time, Xiao Mubei turned from passive to active, and licked her lips repeatedly. His other hand also hugged her waist and held her in his arms.
Chu Yunxi's body soon softened, and she let Xiao Mubei do whatever he wanted until she was about to suffocate due to lack of oxygen. Xiao Mubei reluctantly let her go and whispered in her ear in a bewitching voice: "When I return this time, I will ask my father to make you his principal wife, and we can have a real wedding, okay?"
"Okay." Chu Yunxi's breath was still not even out, but she had already made up her mind and had no more worries. She had decided to be with Xiao Mubei for the rest of her life.
After resting for a while, they thought that they didn't know what was going on up there, so they had to find a way to get out quickly. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi got up and walked into the cave, wanting to see if there was a connection between the inside and the top. It was not realistic to go up from the outside. After all, they fell quite deep, and the stone wall was smooth. Xiao Mubei was good at Qinggong, but it was still difficult for him to climb up, let alone Chu Yunxi.
It was still quite dark inside the cave. Fortunately, Xiao Mubei still had the fire starter he carried with him. He took out one and lit it up, then walked into the cave with Chu Yunxi.
The entrance to the cave was quite narrow, and seemed to be a man-made passage that only allowed one person to pass sideways. Xiao Mubei was in front, walking cautiously with a tinder in his hand, holding Chu Yunxi's hand and protecting her behind him.
This feeling of being protected all the time is really good. In her previous life, Chu Yunxi was an agent and was used to solving everything by herself. Others also thought she was very powerful and omnipotent, so no one ever thought of protecting her. Even Wen Rulan only treated her as a junior sister, because they were not in the same department, so she was never protected by him.
After coming to this dynasty, Chu Yunxi became a weak person instead. Xiao Mubei kept her in mind all the time. With Bai Yu and Hei Mu around, she was happy to be lazy. She would just leave the fighting to those who knew martial arts, and she would not join in the fun.
After walking about three or four hundred meters inside, they finally came to a cave entrance again. Xiao Mubei carefully stuck his head out and listened carefully. There was no breath of any living creature, so he felt relieved and pulled Chu Yunxi out.
It turned out to be a huge cave with a small crack on the ceiling, revealing a ray of sunlight that illuminated the inside of the cave. As soon as Chu Yunxi went out, she screamed in surprise. She saw several bones scattered on the ground in the middle of the cave, and a backpack scattered next to them. Some yellow things were visible in the backpack, which seemed to be yellow paper used for burning incense.
