"But you're very handsome," Huo Chen said with a smile after heaving a sigh of relief.
After Huo Chen said that, he glanced around and happened to see Chi Jiao still on the ground.
The unconscious Chi Jiao looked exceptionally delicate. Her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes, making her look like a doll.
Huo Chen's heart skipped a beat as he watched Quan Jue walk over.
Quan Jue treated her as if she was the most precious treasure in the world. After carrying her up, he gently planted a kiss between her brows.
Chi Jiao seemed to have sensed his presence as well. She hummed softly before calling out to him, "Brother Quan …"
"I'm here." After saying that, Quan Jue hugged her tightly as if he was declaring his ownership. He glanced at Huo Chen and said, "It's been hard on you, Officer Huo. Let's go out."
Huo Chen didn't have any special abilities, so he didn't help much earlier.
Therefore, he could only smile bitterly and follow Quan Jue with a nod.
It took the five of them more than ten minutes to finally walk out of the cave.
It was already past three in the afternoon. Everyone left the cave and found a safe grassland. They washed their hands and faces by the river, heaved a sigh of relief, and started eating.
Chi Jiao was still sleeping soundly, as if she had no intention of waking up.
Helpless, they could only carry her down the mountain after dinner.
By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, the sun was already setting.
Along the way, Chi Jiao, who was sleeping soundly on Quan Jue's shoulder, snorted softly and opened her eyes.
Smelling Quan Jue's pleasant scent, Chi Jiao couldn't help but feel relieved as she stretched lazily.
"Jiaojiao, you're awake!" Pei Yao had also been carried down by Beitang Lie along the way. At this moment, she patted Beitang Lie and jumped down from his body. She went to Chi Jiao's side and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine." With that, Chi Jiao raised her hand and looked at the stone she was holding tightly in her palm.
"You fainted the moment you grabbed this rock in the cave." Huo Chen explained what had just happened to him.
Chi Jiao didn't expect everyone to encounter such a dangerous situation while she was unconscious. She immediately said with guilt in her eyes, "I'm sorry. I didn't help at all."
"It's fine as long as you're fine. Are you still feeling unwell?" Quan Jue put her down and reached out to touch her face.
Chi Jiao smiled brightly and shook her head. "I'm fine now."
With that, Chi Jiao let go of the stone and realized that she had been using too much strength. Now that she relaxed, she realized that her entire arm was sore and numb.
"Boss, you seem to really like this stone." Beitang Lie said.
"I don't know why, but I feel very happy after obtaining this stone. Brother, leave this stone with me for safekeeping first. We'll leave Feng Tong Village tomorrow morning, "Chi Jiao suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement and returned to Feng Tong Village before nightfall.
When they came back, Xiao Xiu had already finished cooking.
During the meal, Ah Ping asked everyone about their energy levels during the day.
Everyone only said that they took a stroll on the mountain before saying that they were tired. After eating, they hurriedly washed up and returned to their respective rooms to rest.
It was a dreamless night. The next morning, Huo Chen was woken up by knocking on the wall.
Huo Chen opened his eyes in a daze and saw that Beitang Lie, who was supposed to be asleep, was knocking his head against the wall of the room.
