Chapter 582: Unwilling to Leave
The two sat down on the chairs, and only then did Jiang Xue begin to speak to Mu Qiancheng: "Qian Cheng, I’ve mentioned to you before about the Spiritual Power I have. Just now, my Spiritual Power improved significantly, and I was so excited that I forgot you were resting."
"No worries, I’ve rested enough." Mu Qiancheng smiled and took hold of Jiang Xue’s hand. He was happy for her advancement in cultivation.
"Really? If you’re still tired, do you want me to keep you company for a nap?" Jiang Xue asked with a smile. Previously, Mu Qiancheng wasn’t in a good condition, but now he seemed much better.
"No need, we should think about finding a way out. Otherwise, if we stay too long, our parents will be worried."
"Alright, I’ll do as you say!" Jiang Xue nodded. They had been in the space for half an hour already, and were unsure of the situation outside.
With this in mind, Jiang Xue communicated with the Little Fox through her Divine Sense. The Little Fox had been observing the outside situation and knew it very well. As soon as Jiang Xue asked, it informed her.
Outside, the Water Monster had waited for quite a while without sensing the presence of Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng, so it returned to its lair in the middle of the lake.
Meanwhile, the other people on the shore observed the lake surface calming once more, and except for Shangguan Wenbin and the little boy from earlier, no one else dared to enter the water.
Shangguan Wenbin and the little boy, one big and one small, were searching for traces of Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng at the spot where Jiang Xue had fallen into the water, using the police personnel’s inflatable boat.
After circling several times with no sign of them, and as it was getting late, a few elderly people, unable to hold on any longer, reluctantly left and went home.
Upon hearing that the elders had gone home, Jiang Xue felt relieved and asked, "Is there anyone else left on the shore?"
"Yes, the little boy from earlier."
The little boy was unwilling to leave. Neither the police nor the park staff, nor Shangguan Wenbin or the elders, could persuade him to go.
Seeing that Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng hadn’t reappeared, with the lake surface calm, everyone assumed they were probably gone for good. But only the little boy was convinced they were still alive.
He remained by the shore, waiting for Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng to emerge.
After hearing what the Little Fox said, Jiang Xue felt a sudden fondness for the little boy. She hadn’t expected a child to have such faith in them, believing they were still alive.
Even knowing there was a Water Monster in the lake, he still waited there alone. Such courage was impressive. Someone like him was suitable to become a soldier.
However, the little boy seemed to be only around ten years old, so it would be several years before he could enlist.
Having understood the situation outside, Jiang Xue immediately said to Mu Qiancheng: "Qian Cheng, let’s go out."
"Alright!" Mu Qiancheng nodded, and then they both exited the space together. As soon as they emerged, the Water Monster sensed them instantly. It narrowed its eyes and quickly rushed towards the place where they were.
Fortunately, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng knew this was the Water Monster’s territory, and if they appeared, it would surely detect them, so they were ready for another battle.
Moreover, they weren’t far from the shore; as long as they could stall the Water Monster for a while, they could reach the shore.
"Xue’er, you go up first, I’ll hold it off!"
When they were still in the space, Mu Qiancheng had already said this to Jiang Xue. So, upon exiting the space and feeling the movement from the bottom of the lake, Mu Qiancheng pushed Jiang Xue forcefully towards the shore.
