Chapter 100: Deserted Island
Luo Lingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud at Xiao Jinghan's anger: "It's really hard to imagine that the dignified Prince Xiao is actually a scoundrel! Such behavior simply ruins your handsome face!" Her tone was full of sarcasm and anger.
Facing Luo Lingyue's accusation, Xiao Jinghan stared at her coldly and responded: "I have never realized before that Miss Luo is so sensitive to murderous intent!" His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through everything.
At this moment, Luo Lingyue's face became extremely gloomy, because she clearly felt a strong murderous aura coming from a boat not far from the lake.
To make matters worse, a dozen ships were rapidly gathering towards their small boat...a thrilling crisis seemed to be approaching.
Luo Lingyue looked far away and saw that the archers on the boat were already ready for battle. She couldn't help but twitch her lips, and cursed in her heart: This abominable Xiao Jinghan, he clearly knew that someone wanted to kill him, but he still showed up so brazenly! He even wanted to implicate her!
I really should thank your ancestors for eighteen generations!
Luo Lingyue acted decisively, stretched out her arms and hugged Xiao Jinghan's neck tightly, then she suddenly turned over and quickly jumped off the boat, pulling Xiao Jinghan into the water as well.
Xiao Jinghan was terrified after entering the water, and secretly groaned in his heart. He shouted, "What are you doing? I can't even swim!" However, at this moment, he could no longer control himself and could only let his body gradually sink.
Seeing this, Luo Lingyue, who was standing by, showed a look of disdain on her face. She curled her lips in contempt and said, "Humph, a grown man is so weak, he is really a burden! If you don't want to live, just let go! But for now, hold on to my shoulders tightly!"
Before he finished speaking, the two of them had already sunk into the water. Just as they entered the water, a sudden clamorous sound came from the originally calm lake surface—swords flashed and arrows shot endlessly into the depths of the lake like locusts.
Faced with this sudden change, Luo Lingyue made a prompt decision and yelled at the top of her voice: "Hold your breath!" Then, she took a deep breath, used all her strength to drag Xiao Jinghan beside her, and dived straight to the bottom of the lake.
Poor Xiao Jinghan didn't have time to protest before a mouthful of icy cold lake water suddenly poured into his mouth. In an instant, he felt dizzy and his lungs were burning with pain...
Luo Lingyue swam quickly at the bottom of the lake like a nimble fish. However, not long after, she noticed that Xiao Jinghan behind her seemed to be a little bit abnormal—the hand that was holding her tightly had loosened! Startled, she quickly turned around to check the situation.
As expected, Xiao Jinghan had already lost consciousness and was floating in the water, apparently in a coma due to drowning. Luo Lingyue was extremely anxious, but she did not panic. She swam to Xiao Jinghan's side, held his head with her hands, and without hesitation, put her lips close to his lips, passing air into his mouth.
At this moment, Xiao Jinghan, who was in a semi-comatose state, suddenly regained consciousness. In a daze, he felt someone was kissing him, and he was immediately horrified, and his hands began to wave and struggle uncontrollably.
Faced with this sudden change, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but feel angry. She was already in a irritable mood, and now she was misunderstood and disturbed, which made her even more furious. So, she made a quick decision, raised one hand, and slashed it fiercely on the back of Xiao Jinghan's neck with the force of a palm knife.
Xiao Jinghan groaned and fell into a coma again. Luo Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief and continued to drag him towards the island closest to them...
Luo Lingyue used all her strength to drag Xiao Jinghan to an uninhabited island, and then quickly bent down to check on his condition. Xiao Jinghan closed his eyes, his face was as pale as paper, and he lay lifeless on the ground. Luo Lingyue was extremely worried and began to perform first aid measures on him without hesitation.
She first pinched Xiao Jinghan's nose gently to prevent air from entering his lungs, then took a deep breath, leaned over and pressed her lips tightly against his mouth, and slowly blew air into his mouth. Once, twice, three times... She kept repeating this action, while at the same time, she kept pressing Xiao Jinghan's chest rhythmically with both hands to help him drain the water in his chest cavity.
As time went by, sweat gradually seeped out of Luo Lingyue's forehead, but she did not dare to relax at all. Finally, after a long and intense effort, Xiao Jinghan's body suddenly trembled violently, and then he spit out a few mouthfuls of water. Then, he began to cough violently, and his eyes, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened.
Seeing Xiao Jinghan gradually regaining consciousness, Luo Lingyue's heart finally settled down a little.
Luo Lingyue suddenly let go of her hand, stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes, and cursed mercilessly: "Xiao Jinghan! You coward, bastard! How dare you cheat me!" Her voice was deafening, as if she wanted to vent all her anger!
Xiao Jing responded coldly, "Luo Lingyue! My plan was perfect. We only needed to wait for those assassins to show up, and then the palace guards and His Majesty's secret guards would be able to capture them in one fell swoop! But who would have thought..."
At this point, his eyes full of resentment drifted towards Luo Lingyue, "How nice of you to drag me into the lake without saying a word. Are you determined to drown me?"
Facing Xiao Jinghan's accusations, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but look embarrassed, and stammered to explain: "Why... didn't you tell me... these arrangements earlier?"
However, Xiao Jinghan's face was already as pale as paper at this time, and he retorted weakly: "When did you ever give me a chance to speak?" For a moment, the two fell into silence, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
As the sun sets, the night gradually covers the earth, and the sky and the earth are dark. Luo Lingyue frowns slightly, bites her lips, looks ahead firmly and says, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go find some firewood!" After that, she turns and leaves, and her figure quickly disappears into the darkness.
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, after a slight noise, Luo Lingyue reappeared in the field of vision. She was seen holding a large bundle of branches of varying thicknesses in her arms, and walking steadily towards them.
When she got close, she gently put down the pile of branches and then skillfully started to make a fire. First, she selected a few thinner branches, broke them into suitable lengths, and put them together to form a simple support. Then, she picked up some dry leaves and grass from the side and placed them under the support as kindling. Finally, she lit the grass with a tinder and blew carefully to help it burn.
The flames gradually rose, licking the surrounding air and making crackling sounds. Luo Lingyue stared at the fire intently, adding some branches from time to time to make the fire burn more and more vigorously. After a while, the blazing bonfire illuminated the surroundings, bringing a touch of warmth and light.
