Only then did Feng Qitong let go of it, and then looked up toward the riverbank where Bai Susu was, ready to bring her over to see this nine-colored deer.
Didn’t big sister really want to see what a real nine-colored deer looks like?
As she looked up, she saw a figure sneakily approaching Bai Susu from behind the big tree in the dense forest, silently holding a dagger, aiming to stab Bai Susu.
"Sister! Be careful!" Feng Qitong was completely panicked.
His body swiftly flashed toward the opposite bank.
But the maid who was about to stab Bai Susu with the poison-coated dagger heard Feng Qitong’s voice and suddenly panicked, causing her dagger to slip. The source of thɪs content is novel※fire.net
Seeing this, she simply gave Bai Susu’s back a fierce shove.
A great force instantly pushed Bai Susu’s body into the river.
Bai Susu mentally cursed.
But her fingers clutched the gift box bag tightly.
Not to mention she wasn’t a complete landlubber and could swim, and her bag contained the Mermaid Pearl, so falling into the water wouldn’t be a problem.
The worry was about hitting something like rocks in the river, and the unlucky chance of hitting her head, resulting in some melodramatic amnesia plot...
Thinking of this, Bai Susu quickly reached to protect her head.
At the moment she fell into the water, Feng Qitong’s body also flashed over, but his hand slightly brushed her hair, failing to grab her, and could only watch her fall into the water.
For an instant, Feng Qitong’s gaze deepened, and he plunged directly into the river.
At the same time, Feng Qiwu seemed to realize Bai Susu was in danger, awakening from his slumber, trying to regain control of his body.
Seeing this, Feng Qitong coldly shouted in his mind: "Get lost! If you keep this up, sister will die!"
With those words, Feng Qiwu’s consciousness instantly vanished.
Feng Qitong immediately held his breath and opened his eyes, searching the riverbed.
Then he saw Bai Susu enveloped by a large transparent halo, like a River God, surrounded by a circle of small fish and shrimp.
At this moment, Bai Susu was also amazed.
After getting the Mermaid Pearl, she hadn’t really tested its effects herself.
Originally, she thought the Mermaid Pearl’s water-repelling ability would only allow her to breathe underwater like a fish, without worrying about drowning.
But she never imagined the Mermaid Pearl could not only repel water but also keep her clothes completely dry.
Moreover, after falling into the water, all the little fish and shrimp in the river immediately swarmed around her, seeming eager to be close to her.
This Mermaid Pearl... it truly wasn’t just using the mermaid name for sensationalism, but was indeed a real Mermaid Pearl.
Which means, in this world, at least at some point, mermaids did exist.
Seeing Bai Susu unharmed, Feng Qitong’s suspended heart finally relaxed.
In the next moment, he hurriedly swam toward her.
When Bai Susu saw Feng Qitong, her eyes lit up, and she instinctively moved toward him.
Then she discovered that her body could move through the river as easily as walking on land.
Soon, the two converged.
Feng Qitong grabbed Bai Susu’s hand and pulled her tightly into his arms.
Then he emerged from the water with Bai Susu, landing on the grassy field.
"Sister, I’m sorry, it was all my fault, I shouldn’t have left you alone." Feng Qitong’s voice was full of guilt and fear.
It was his arrogance and recklessness that almost got his sister killed.
To think he previously mocked Feng Qiwu for being useless.
Turns out he wasn’t much better himself.
Hearing Feng Qitong’s words, Bai Susu quickly reached out and gently patted his back, consoling, "What does this have to do with you? Even a wise man can make mistakes. You’ve done well enough, don’t be too hard on yourself. We can’t always be on guard against everyone, right?"
"So, you shouldn’t blame yourself for others’ malicious intent."
Feng Qitong heard Bai Susu’s words, mumbled a response like a droopy-headed big dog, and hugged Bai Susu’s waist tightly.
But where Bai Susu couldn’t see, a pair of deep Phoenix Eyes was filled with a chilling, murderous aura.
Anyone who tries to harm his sister, he won’t spare a single one of them.
Don’t they want to see him lose control?
Then let him show them crazy!
Seeing Feng Qitong remain silent for a long time, Bai Susu felt somewhat uneasy, "Tong Tong, are you okay? Don’t worry about me, I’m fine."
