"Qingxue, we're almost there. Hold on tight to me, don't let go no matter what!"
After Li Chen solemnly reminded her, he took Ximen Qingxue in his arms, turned into a streak of light, and disappeared into that space rift.
"Swoosh!"
A streak of light flashed across the sky over Donghua City, forming a perfect arc as it landed into Cloud Mist Lake.
"Splash!"
"Splash!"
Water splashed around, ripples spread out, startling a group of seagulls and herons into flight.
Soon, Li Chen emerged from the lake, his head breaking the surface.
He looked around, searching for Ximen Qingxue's figure.
"Qingxue, Qingxue!"
"Cough, cough... I'm here!"
Ximen Qingxue coughed hard twice; the sudden plunge had choked her quite a bit.
"Hey, can't you choose a better landing spot next time? I swallowed a lot of lake water. Cough, cough..."
Li Chen smirked, seeing that Ximen Qingxue was alright, he didn't bother with her and instinctively looked around.
