Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Because Wu Xie confessed in time, Ling Yue didn't beat him up.

Instead, she stepped forward and gave him a gentle hug, like a warm spring breeze, and said, "Take care."

He turned around and left again.

Although the embrace was brief, so brief that he didn't have time to feel her body temperature and fragrance, Wu Xie still felt dizzy.

Wang Meng quickly helped the staggering boss up. Hei Xiazi was shocked: "No, Wu Xie, are you sure you're serious? Or did she poison you?"

Just that light hug, and Wu Xie was about to faint from excitement?!

Wu Xie shook his head and let go of Wang Meng's hand without ceremony when she took the bag. "The toxins haven't been completely eliminated yet."

Although he could read pheromones after being poisoned by snake venom, his body had already reached its limit, and if he took a little more, he still couldn't recover.

Hei Xiazi shook his head: "Wu Xie, you're really willing to go to such lengths to fool a little kid!"

He wanted to advise the person: "Everything is going well now, and you've even found someone you like. You can't be so impulsive in the future."

Even if you haven't been bitten by a snake, you should still try to get some venom yourself.

If something really happens to this person, Hei Xiazi is afraid that when the mute man squatting by the gate comes out, he won't be able to explain it to anyone.

Wu Xie thought of Ling Yue, of her pursuit of the Yuezhi civilization, and of her saying she wanted to find her way home…

As the joy he felt from her turning around and hugging faded, Wu Xie felt even more lost. "I don't know."

I don't know what she's really thinking, or whether he and she can really have a future together.

Wu Xie had a vague intuition that she might indeed hold some weight in her heart.

But in her heart, there are many more important things and people she cares about.

Li Cu waited anxiously by the lake. Although it was far from where the Nine-Headed Cypress had appeared, he knew that if he didn't make a big fuss, he wouldn't attract its attention.

But the thought of the almost ubiquitous tentacles of the Hydra Cypress still made Li Cu afraid.

Fortunately, Ling Yue didn't keep him waiting for long.

Upon seeing Ling Yue, Li Cu rushed over with delight: "Ling Yue, you're finally back!"

Ling Yue smiled and reached out to pat his head.

This casual yet affectionate gesture surprised and delighted Li Cu, whose handsome and energetic face was beaming with joy.

He tentatively reached out to take Ling Yue's hand, but Ling Yue unintentionally avoided it: "Let's go, take your things first, Hai Zi could move at any time."

There was only one bag they retrieved from the lake. Li Cu was still worried about Wu Xie, but when Ling Yue said he would return the bag of supplies, he agreed without hesitation.

Even knowing that giving the bag to Wu Xie would make things difficult for him and Ling Yue, he still faced challenges ahead.

Hearing Ling Yue's words, Li Cu picked up her bag and put it on. Thinking of Wu Xie, she wanted to ask him, but then she felt that she had just been chased away by Wu Xie, and it would be very embarrassing for her to care about him now.

Therefore, he hesitated and didn't ask the question for a long time.

Ling Yue pretended not to see it.

After waiting for a while, the lake began to shake, and the two, who had experience before, immediately jumped in.

Worried about losing Li Cu, Ling Yue guided Li Cu to wrap her arms around his waist.

The face-to-face kind.

Li Cu was half a head taller than Ling Gao, so when he hugged her like this, Li Cu had to move down a bit, and their faces would be right next to each other...

cough!

As the bubbles surged in the water, Li Cu's mind wandered for a moment, recalling the large breasts he had blurted out earlier in the underground palace, and the breathing Ling Yue had given him when he came in.

Li Cu was secretly anxious, recalling whether she had rinsed her mouth properly with water, and what position she should adopt to make the "kiss" more beautiful and unforgettable.

However, all of Li Cu's thoughts came to nothing.

When they went out, Hai Zi was even faster!

Before he could hold his breath to his limit, the two of them actually surfaced.

Then Ling Yue pulled him away, dragged him upside down by the backpack on his back, and pulled him ashore.

Li Cu raised his hand to wipe his face, looked up at the sky in a daze, and then looked around at the endless yellow desert.

Is this coming out?

Pick up a stone and smash it hard against the lake!

"Stop playing around, let's rest for a bit and then we'll leave." Ling Yue stood up, looked around, and found the sun to determine the direction.

Li Cu pouted, looked up at Ling Yue, and lingered on her moist red lips.

Ling Yue turned around and met the eyes of the young wolf cub.

She smiled and urged him to get up, "Let's go, let's set off early and get out of here as soon as possible."

Seeing that she didn't even try to stop him, Li Cu turned around and left without looking back, looking as anxious as if she couldn't wait to get him out of the desert and get rid of him.

Feeling frustrated, Li Cu got up and jogged after him: "Ling Yue, what are you planning to do after you leave the desert?"

Will we still be able to keep in touch?

Ling Yue didn't even turn his head: "Go to work, what else can I do?"

She's basically working for Wu Xie now, and she wonders if she should call him "boss" next time they meet.

Li Cu pressed on, "Hey Ling Yue, I forgot to ask you, where are you from? And where do you work?"

Ling Yue turned to him, gave him a smirk, and uttered two words: "Guess?"

Li Cu choked, realizing that she was unwilling to tell him.

The boy, who had never been in a relationship, couldn't stand being treated with such a distant and indifferent attitude from the moment he appeared. Feeling upset, he couldn't help but overthink things.

If I think about her like this for a while, does that mean I'm rejecting her?

He thought back to how she used to let him hold her hand, how she would give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while they were in the water, and how she would protect him whenever they were in danger...

Well, let's forget about the last point; Li Cu remembered that it was a responsibility from 12W.

But based on the first two points, she must like him, right?

They were so affectionate when they first came ashore, but now that they're on land, she's turned her back on him?

Li Cu felt like he had been betrayed by a heartless woman.

This made him feel even worse.

Just as Li Cu was racking her brains trying to figure out what to do, Ling Yue suddenly took the initiative to start a conversation: "Li Cu, how did you get the seven-finger pattern on your back? It looks like it was carved on. Doesn't it hurt?"

Speaking of this, it really hit Li Cu's resentment collector!

"It hurt! It was almost unbearable! And Wu Xie was even worse; he had someone tear open the wound on my back that had just been stitched up!" Li Cu rattled off how awful Wu Xie had been and how miserable she had been.

But as she spoke, Li Cu couldn't help but add, "But along the way, Wu Xie protected me quite a bit. He gave me the last sip of his wine, and when we encountered danger, he always gave me a chance to escape. He also taught me a lot of new and interesting knowledge..."

He murmured, "I wonder how Wuxie is doing now."

Ling Yue restrained the urge to lick his lips: "I don't know either. When I got back, I saw him struggling on the ground like a snake."

This is what Wu Xie wanted Li Cu to know, and Wu Xie was indeed poisoned by snake venom.

Li Cu stopped and looked back at the boundless desert behind him.

Ling Yue didn't turn around or wait for him, and continued walking.

After a while, Li Cu caught up with him, and after holding back for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Ling Yue, aren't you worried about him?"

Ling Yue suddenly turned around and approached Li Cu, almost bumping into him.

Li Cu subconsciously took two steps back and looked down at her.

Ling Yue continued to move closer to him until their bodies were just a hair's breadth away from touching.

She raised her emerald-gold eyes, which were surrounded by brown water, and gazed into his flustered and shy eyes. She tilted her head slightly and asked, "Li Cu, I want to know some things. Will you tell me?"

Her sudden action, despite her usual aloofness, left Li Cu completely flustered and her mind reeling.

For a moment, he couldn't even figure out what Ling Yue wanted to know.

However, the next second, Ling Yue tiptoed slightly, placed her hands on his shoulders, turned her face to the side and gently rested her head on his left shoulder and the back of her own hand.

As he tilted his head, his face came incredibly close to his jaw and neck.

The boy's prominent Adam's apple bobbed up and down several times with difficulty as she breathed softly.

Even though there was no direct skin-to-skin contact, Li Cu felt as if all the air in her world had been sucked out.

He was like a fish that couldn't breathe, and Ling Yue was the cat that pulled him ashore.

"Li Cu, tell me. What did you see when you were bitten by the snake?" The whisper in her ear seemed to carry infinite tenderness, like a lover's coquettishness.
