C49 Water Hibiscus

Kunwu Jiongnuo, of course, understood the hidden meaning behind his words, but he did not say anything. He dried his wet clothes with his inner force and tidied them up a little. Then, it would be the graceful Evil Lord again.

He then carefully sized up Xin Cangqu, whose red clothes were already stuck to her body due to being soaked in the water, and which occasionally danced in the morning breeze in an attractive manner. The head of fiery red wet hair scattered in front of her back, and a strand of mischievous hair stuck to his jade-like cheek, bringing with it a slightly cold charm. A few tiny drops of water still hung on her crimson, handsome eyebrows, making her enchanting face even more so.

Kunwu Jiongnuo was elated for a moment before he teased with a smile that was not a smile, "Lord Cang's appearance reminds This King of the words' a Hibiscus from Water '."

Xin Cangqu's first reaction upon hearing his words, was to lower her eyes and inspect her clothes, seeing that her red clothes were not only completely drenched, but were still in good condition, and that no matter how one looked around, they were all handsome and elegant young master, which made her feel at ease. She also used her internal energy to dry her clothes, smoothing out the wrinkles on her clothes, and smoothed out her messy red hair, before shaking off the jade fan with a 'swish', and lightly fanned the place with a cold wind, as she unabashedly said: "Evil Ghost, don't be jealous of being more handsome than you, so you teased me like a girl?"

When Kunwu Jiongnuo heard this, he only smiled calmly, "You are indeed a demon that bewitched the world. This King really doesn't dare to praise you."

Xin Cangqu let out a mocking snort and no longer paid any attention to him.

Kunwu Jiongnuo glanced around and also understood what Xin Cangqu meant by "not going well". There was no place for him to stay!

He lowered his eyes to look at Su Jiu, who still hadn't woken up, and said to Xin Cangqu, "Looking at her like this, I'm afraid she won't wake up within half a day. Are you going to let her lie on the wet shore for half a day?"

How could Xin Cangqu not understand Kunwu Jiongnuo's meaning. In fact, they first rushed for a day, then were trapped in the dungeon for a day and a night without eating anything. Afterwards, they wandered in the water for an entire night.

He pointed at the fork in the road on the left leading to the mountain, "If Ben remembers correctly, there will be a cave a few more bends from there. Let's take Sister Su there to rest first before we make our plans."

Kunwu Jiongnuo nodded and walked towards the road he was pointing to.

"Hey, Evil Ghost, this senior has already brought Sister Su underwater for an entire night. It should be your turn to lend a hand now, right?" Xin Cangqu immediately blocked in front of Kunwu Jiongnuo and bargained with him.

"After some careful consideration, I think Heroine Su would rather you take care of her. Besides, I haven't fully recovered from the poison, and you're already a capable person, Lord Cang." Kunwu Jiongnuo found two reasonable reasons to return to Xin Cangqu, walked around him and continued walking forward.

In his heart, he felt that Kunwu Jiongnuo's words were reasonable. After all, Su Jiu's admiration for him fell into the dungeon to save him, so it was indeed up to him to take care of Su Jiu. Thus, he walked over to Su Jiu and helped her up before walking down the same road.

Along the way, Kunwu Jiongnuo was the first to speak. He asked Xin Cangqu curiously, "Last night … How did Wu Steel conclude that the water outside the dungeon could lead to this place? Not afraid... "What if it's groundwater?"

"Groundwater?" Xin Cangqu almost burst into laughter when she heard this. She hugged Su Jiu with one hand and looked at the person beside her with disdain, "Ha, ha, ha …" "You are truly inexperienced. You don't even know these things."

Kunwu Jiongnuo's expression changed. When had he ever been mocked like this by someone, and this damned Fire Demon had repeatedly broken his taboo? How could he not hate this, but in the end, Prince Jiong, who had always been well-behaved, chose to endure it silently. However, he could not just let it go like this, so he added in his heart: Revenge, ten years is not too late.

Xin Cangqu continued, "Think about it carefully. If it is really underground water, then why have we not heard any sound of water until last night when we were trapped in the dungeon for a whole day and a night? Also, the underground water has a certain direction, but the sound of water that Ben heard last night was not directed. Furthermore, the ground of the bamboo forest is rather high, and the surging waves are clearly due to the high tide at night. "

"High tide?" Kunwu Jiongnuo ignored his contemptuous gaze and asked again, "If the tide is high, then why can't you hear the water in the morning?"

"About this …" Xin Cangqu's voice slowed down as she smiled, not giving him the slightest bit of face as she said, "I didn't intend to tell you."

Kunwu Jiongnuo paused for a moment. Xin Cangqu would deny his face. Although it was within his expectations, he was used to hearing compliments. Now that he said it, he still felt unhappy in his heart.

Xin Cangqu couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw him fail. "Hahaha …"

He had to admit that Xin Cangqu knew a lot, and that it was unlikely for him to understand those things in his lifetime. Of course, this time was an exception, so he decided to take the risk of being mocked again and continued asking, "If we go in the opposite direction, won't we miss the time? Don't you worry about the opposite effect?"

Sure enough, Xin Cangqu laughed even more heartily. "Evil Ghost, did you soak in the water for too long?"

This time, Kunwu Jiongnuo didn't intend to argue with him. He silently endured his ridicule and waited for his reply.

Xin Cangqu laughed long enough before she lightly shook the jade fan, putting on an unrestrained manner, and said: "Last night, the water might have been a little chaotic, but it's not hard to tell that it came from the south and that the Cloud River is the moat of my Tianxin. The water's current state, of course, is very familiar, how could I recognize it?"

Hearing this, Kunwu Jiongnuo seemed to understand a little bit. He did not ask any further questions. He was not stupid, why would he charge straight at the gun to be mocked by him for no reason?

Xin Cangqu, on the other hand, was in a great mood. She had managed to get something out of Kunwu Jiongnuo, so she would smile from time to time.

After walking for about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the sky was already completely bright by then. They had finally arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Kunwu Jiongnuo looked up at the cave. Just to be safe, he wanted Xin Cangqu to enter first.
