Chapter 1423: Chapter 1424: Narrow Escape from Death (Part 1)
As she was running, Mu Tiantian’s foot slipped, and her body fell to the ground without a sound.
Shen Tiancheng, who was holding her hand, was also pulled by her and stumbled.
Seeing the falling rocks not far behind and the tall trees collapsing towards them like a mountain, Mu Tiantian suddenly let go of Shen Tiancheng’s hand.
“Don’t worry about me, just go!”
Shen Tiancheng had intended to pull her up but, having suddenly been let go by Mu Tiantian, he stepped on a slippery patch and fell backward.
“Mu Tiantian, you idiot woman!”
Shen Tiancheng clenched his teeth in anger, his androgynous yet handsome face filled with panic.
He quickly got up from the ground, trying to reach Mu Tiantian.
“Getting this far was already my luck, thank you, Shen Tiancheng!”
Mu Tiantian gave Shen Tiancheng a dazzling smile, her face bloodless, catching a glimpse of the slope beside her with the corner of her eye. Before Shen Tiancheng could reach her, she rolled towards it, disappearing along with the avalanching trees from Shen Tiancheng’s view.
“Mu Tiantian!”
Shen Tiancheng let out a heart-wrenching scream, his long, fox-like eyes almost bloodshot, wishing he could cut Mu Tiantian into a thousand pieces.
How could she not believe him like this!
Seeing the approaching landslide, Shen Tiancheng’s eyes flashed with a savage and bloodthirsty color. He quickly turned, his movements as agile as a leopard, and soon vanished into the dense forest.
——
Pain!
The whole body hurts!
It feels as if all the bones are broken, Mu Tiantian couldn’t help but moan softly from the pain.
Having always been by her side, Bai Chenyao quickly walked to her as he noticed her moving, his voice deep and trembling without him realizing it.
“Tian Tian?”
Mu Tiantian frowned slightly, her face also aching intensely, as if her entire body wasn’t her own.
Slowly opening her eyes, she thought she was dreaming upon seeing that familiar face.
“A Yao?”
Bai Chenyao gently responded with a hum, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, his defined face softening from its usual cool and indifferent expression.
“Yes, it’s me!”
Mu Tiantian suddenly began to smile, even though it pulled at the wounds on her cheeks, causing her body to tremble from the pain; she still tried her best to smile.
“I must be dreaming!”
If she remembered correctly, she should have already died, in the instant Qi Mountain’s ridge collapsed, beneath the rubble of rocks and trees.
Bai Chenyao’s heart suddenly clenched, a flash of pain in his dark eyes, so fleeting that Mu Tiantian couldn’t even notice it.
“It’s not a dream, it’s reality!”
Feeling a slight coolness on her hand, Mu Tiantian instinctively looked at it, seeing Bai Chenyao’s large hand gently holding hers. She blinked, and blinked again.
This must be a dream!
Otherwise, how could she see Bai Chenyao when she was obviously dead?
Or perhaps, Bai Chenyao was also dead?
Are they meeting in Hell now?
Mu Tiantian’s bright smile suddenly became stiff, her body reacting as if shocked, jumping up abruptly.
And because it pulled at the wounds on her body, the pain contorted her face into a grimace.
“Tian Tian!”
A trace of panic crossed Bai Chenyao’s handsome and cold face; he quickly pressed Mu Tiantian, who was trying to get up, back down, his voice very cold.
“Her body is injured, she must rest well!”
Mu Tiantian, wishing she could faint from the pain, felt that if this was a dream, it was a truly realistic one.
Isn’t it said that dreams aren’t supposed to hurt? But why does she hurt so much in this dream?
