Chapter 808 - 848: This Is Way Too Bizarre
Li Yifei and the Saintess were both martial arts experts, but that didn’t mean they were impervious to rain. When the heavy rain fell, they would get drenched just like everyone else.
Additionally, there was Xu Yingying, and Li Yifei was especially unwilling to let Xu Yingying get wet. Fortunately, knowing the weather here was prone to rapid changes, and that it rained whenever it was forecasted to, Li Yifei had brought rain gear. While searching for shelter from the rain, he hurriedly opened an umbrella.
The rain came down furiously. No sooner had Li Yifei opened his umbrella than the downpour started, and the torrential rain was too much for one umbrella to handle for both of them.
Li Yifei quickly protected Xu Yingying, but it seemed to be insufficient. Another umbrella was raised, shielding Xu Yingying from above. It was the Saintess.
Li Yifei nodded gratefully at the Saintess, and in return, she smiled at him and pointed in a direction, saying, "There’s a bit of space underneath that large rock over there that should be suitable for shelter from the rain."
The two of them hurried in that direction, moving swiftly. Despite their quickness, neither allowed the rain to reach Xu Yingying. Only acclaimed experts such as themselves could accomplish such a feat.
Though the distance was only a bit over a hundred meters, by the time they reached the shelter of the jutting cliff, they were completely soaked, but thankfully, Xu Yingying remained dry.
The space wasn’t large, only about the size of a double bed. Li Yifei himself was wet, and while the front of his chest remained dry, hugging Xu Yingying meant his dampness would transfer to her. He quickly spread a blanket from his bag on the ground and set Xu Yingying down on it. These items were essential whenever he took Xu Yingying out, and it was only because of today’s heavy rain that they found themselves in such a predicament.
In the meantime, the Saintess had positioned both umbrellas at the entrance to the shelter and, using mud and rocks, had constructed a small dam to prevent rainwater from coming in and ground water from flowing in. This ensured the area stayed dry, although they couldn’t avoid the humidity in the air.
"Thank you." After settling Xu Yingying, Li Yifei turned to see all that the Saintess had done and couldn’t help feeling very grateful.
