Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Chapter 132: The Road Ahead is Impassable, and I Have No Choice

It was hidden deep inside, wrapped around her vitals, almost fused with her own body.

That is definitely not achieved overnight.

Mo Jingchun couldn't imagine who could have poisoned her. How could the poison that belonged to Nanzi be in her body?

What is her connection or grudge with Nanzi?

If she had been to Qieyue Village, how could he not know?

Was it after he was kicked out?

Is she aware of its existence?

Why had he never seen——

Mo Jingchun thought of countless possibilities in his mind.

Even whether she was controlled by others like him and could do nothing about it...

He was about to touch her wrist with one hand to check it out more carefully, but Lou Xiao felt that something was wrong with him.

She refused to give him the chance to touch her again.

Mo Jingchun was a little anxious, and half of his body pressed forward, determined to grab her wrist.

Lou Xiao used her arm to stop him from pushing hard, and said impatiently,

"Mo Jingchun! What are you doing!"

The tone was serious and angry, like a blow to the head that made Mo Jingchun suddenly wake up.

"I……"

Her face could not be seen in the darkness, but she had taken advantage of his stillness to stand up.

Follow the location he mentioned before, looking for the passage to leave the underground world.

"If you do that again, I'll be really angry."

Lou Xiao warned Mo Jingchun not to make trouble or commit suicide again, as her tolerance was limited.

She will never soften her heart once she crosses that line.

She didn't know that she had wrongly accused Mo Jingchun this time. His actions were not motivated by shameful thoughts.

And she certainly didn't believe it.

After a moment of silence, Mo Jingchun didn't know whether to tell her about the poisonous insect.

He knew so little about her that he still didn't even know her exact name or background.

It would be bad if you say it rashly and violate a taboo or ruin things.

Mo Jingchun no longer had those lingering thoughts and sat looking in her direction.

In fact, he was more afraid that she would be the same as him.

Thinking that she might be that person's subordinate... and would laugh at his self-conceited behavior these days together with that person...

Mo Jingchun's beautiful thoughts seemed to be put into an ice cave, and his mind kept recalling the pain and hatred of the past.

Her body was shaking slightly, and the pain that had just been relieved by her inner strength returned in multiples, making her feel like dying.

No - absolutely not!

Thinking of this, Mo Jingchun impulsively asked her a question,

"Who are you working for?"

Lou Xiao was surprised that he asked such a strange question and was not prepared to tell him the truth.

After all, he was just a stranger they met on the road. They had limited trust in each other and were not at the point where they could open up to each other.

"Mo Jingchun, you are a smart person, don't ask questions that you shouldn't know."

Lou Xiao turned around and said, "Let me use your night-shining pearl."

After hearing this, Mo Jingchun knew that he shouldn't say anything more.

He took out the bead from his bosom and handed it to Lou Xiao. Her figure was shadowy with her back to him.

The distance that was finally shortened has become so far again.

But no matter how many doubts I had in my heart, I didn't dare to ask more.

Sometimes she is incredibly soft-hearted, but when her bottom line is touched, she will be extremely ruthless.

Seeing her squatting and looking at the cave he came from, he pretended to be relaxed and hoped that she would forget what happened just now.

"From there all the way forward is another mine. The mine tunnel is wide and has not collapsed. There is no danger."

She lowered her body, not knowing what to look at, and did not ask him why he knew the way so well.

Mo Jingchun's initiative only resulted in silence. He wondered if she was angry with him for his offense.

Once again, he took the initiative to bring it up, "Aren't you going to ask me why I am so familiar with this place? I am seriously injured, and I am relying on you to survive. If you threaten me now..."

He can throw the word loyalty away completely.

Lou Xiao straightened up and turned around. The shadow on his face under the night-shining pearl made him look inexplicably cold.

“This road won’t work.”

Mo Jingchun was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was disbelief. "How is it possible? I walked from here when I came here. The mine tunnel over there is very solid and has never had any accidents before."

Seeing that she was as still as a mountain and didn't seem to be joking, he began to feel a little nervous.

He stood up and looked down in the dim light of the night pearl, but for a moment he didn't notice anything wrong.

Isn't this a very normal channel?

There were traces of artificial excavation on the wall, which was wider than when he first met her, more than enough for one person to pass through.

What's wrong?

He didn't know what was going on, so he could only lift up his clothes and take the risk. He had nothing to fear for his life.

Lou Xiao grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Don't go! Don't you realize something is wrong? Are you going to die?"

Mo Jingchun was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Lou Xiao's expression seemed to freeze for a moment. She grabbed him with a little more force and told him the actual situation.

"There is too much moisture. This road must have been eroded by the underground river."

Mo Jingchun reflexively retorted, "Impossible, he was fine for so many years, how could he have an accident now——"

Lou Xiao said, "Oh?" "So many years have passed, so you are an old man in the mine? Or, does it belong to you?"

Mo Jingchun's body stiffened at her sudden attack. He originally thought he could just get away with it and not pursue the matter any further.

"I'll tell you when we get out—" His voice was hoarse and pleading.

"You can't die here - I came in to take you out. Let's talk about this later, okay?"

He stopped joking.

Even though he did think it would be a good thing if she died with him in the underground, there was really no hope of getting out.

But he didn't want her to face a desperate situation.

After all, she and he are different.

Even though he didn't know her background, he could guess that she had a wonderful first half of her life.

If nothing unexpected happens, the rest of my life will be spent happily.

He coveted her, but never thought of dragging her into the same situation as him.

In short, he wanted her to live.

"There's no way out. This is a dead end. Or you can tell me the layout of the mines, and maybe find a way to survive."

She was so calm that Mo Jingchun became even more nervous.

He was still talking nonsense.

"Could it be a sudden mountain flood, a flooded river? But this has never happened before - could it be that they dared to silence us?"

Mo Jingchun found that Lou Xiao was looking at him quietly, not interrupting him, and patiently waiting for his answer.

There was no other way now. She was determined to get something out of him.

But his relationship with the mine cannot be explained in a few words, not to mention the complicated mine tunnels.

Lou Xiao seemed to see through his powerlessness and gave him a way of thinking.

"Are you a hired thug in the mine? Or are you the mastermind? Do you know that this is a capital crime?"

She knew that the Jianghu people were ignorant of the law, and was about to explain,

Mo Jingchun replied calmly, "I am just a wanderer in the martial arts world. How can I have the ability to secretly operate a mine under the nose of the imperial court?"

He thought he might have guessed her identity, "We are just helpless."
