Time was extremely tight and Fang Zhengzhi had no other ideas.
After all, any man would know what to do when a woman was drowning. Therefore, he immediately put his mouth on Yun Qingwu’s mouth.
He was saving a life…
That did not require much stress.
Fang Zhengzhi’s lips and Yun Qingwu’s lips touched.
Because Yun Qingwu’s mouth was opened, Fang Zhengzhi felt a special sensation that made his heart flutter.
However, he had underestimated the state of confusion Yun Qingwu was in. By right, Yun Qingwu should stop struggling once he had breathed into Yun Qingwu’s mouth.
However, was it so simple?
“Umm…” Just as Fang Zhengzhi breathed into Yun Qingwu’s mouth, he felt a strong kick on his stomach and he almost went out of breath.
Indeed, forcefully kissing someone was not easy.
Fang Zhengzhi continued to swim deeper into the pond while bearing with the pain in his stomach. At the same time, he was being beaten up by Yun Qingwu.
On his stomach, thighs and arms…
He could not even remember how many kicks and punches he had suffered. However, there was one area that he would never let Yun Qingwu kick or punch.
However, was it possible to close one’s legs when swimming?
Evidently not.
Therefore, he could only hold onto Yun Qingwu’s waist with one hand and grab onto her thigh, which was kicking furiously, with the other hand.
However, that caused Yun Qingwu to struggle even more. It was an instinct for her to get out of the restraints.
Bam! Fang Zhengzhi felt a hit on his throat.
“F*ck… bloop bloop…” Fang Zhengzhi opened his mouth and cursed before he swallowed a mouthful of water.
Oh no.
Was he going to die?
Fang Zhengzhi saw many news reports on how one got drowned when trying to save an uncooperative person from drowning.
That was a terrible ending.
Fang Zhengzhi did not want to die because of Yun Qingwu but he could not leave her alone.
There was no other way.
He could only pinch her.
Fang Zhengzhi pinched Yun Qingwu’s thigh really hard. He felt the best way was to wake Yun Qingwu up from her coma.
The effect was not bad.
Yun Qingwu’s body shook. She reduced her struggling actions and opened her eyes slightly.
It was a pair of beautiful, black and bright eyes.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yun Qingwu. He saw a sense of desperation in her eyes as though she had a mission to complete.
Then, Yun Qingwu suddenly widened her eyes.
“Bloop bloop…” Yun Qingwu wanted to open her mouth to talk but the water gushed into her mouth and caused her face to turn purple.
There was no choice.
Fang Zhengzhi forcefully pressed his lips on Yun Qingwu’s lips again.
This caused Yun Qingwu to freeze. Her black eyes widened and she slapped Fang Zhengzhi’s chest.
However, she used much lesser strength than earlier on.
She eventually stopped struggling and allowed Fang Zhengzhi to kiss her. In fact, she wrapped her arms around Fang Zhengzhi’s waist.
Puff! At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi suddenly felt the environment turn bright as he breathed in some air from the surroundings.
They finally got out of the pond.
If he had not swum in the wrong direction at the start, they would not have struggled as much. However, fortunately, they still managed to get out of the pond unscathed.
“Umm…” Yun Qingwu made some noises again and started to push Fang Zhengzhi away.
“I saved your life, so I have repaid your favor for helping me combine the Maps of Access to Heaven, right?” said Fang Zhengzhi as he lifted his mouth off Yun Qingwu’s lips.
“Shameless!” Yun Qingwu scolded him. Her white hair was wet but she looked even more dazzling.
Fang Zhengzhi was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Yun Qingwu’s hair and her white dress that was sticking to her body as she floated in the water.
It felt as if there was a layer of mist surrounding Yun Qingwu’s hair. She looked flawless and out of the world, as though she was a fairy from the legends.
“Can you… let go of me?” Yun Qingwu blushed when Fang Zhengzhi stopped moving.
Fang Zhengzhi’s hand was still grabbing onto her thigh and it looked extremely inappropriate.
“Cough cough…” Fang Zhengzhi’s blushed and released his grip on Yun Qingwu before he turned around.
However, he soon realized that something was amiss.
What would happen if Yun Qingwu decided to spring a sneak attack on him at this moment?
As this thought struck him, he turned around again and looked quietly at Yun Qingwu in caution.
Yun Qingwu, on the other hand, was evidently stunned.
When Fang Zhengzhi turned around, she was shocked by how the shameless brat displayed some characteristics of a gentleman.
However, she soon realized that she was wrong.
That was because Fang Zhengzhi turned around again and his gaze looked even more brazen than before.
Indeed, he was shameless after all.
Yun Qingwu sighed to herself but stopped feeling angry or had the urge to curse as she was used to Fang Zhengzhi’s shameless already.
“So we don’t owe each other any favors anymore?” Fang Zhengzhi reminded Yun Qingwu.
“Up to you.” Yun Qingwu walked slowly to the pond. Her white dress floated in the sky like a fairy.
Fang Zhengzhi smiled.
He knew Yun Qingwu’s character very well and was not surprised. He felt relieved now that Yun Qingwu had regained consciousness.
At least she did not die.
“You snatched my pendant away, can you pass it back to me for me to use for a while?” Yun Qingwu turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi as she walked to the side of the pond.
“For what? Don’t think I will return it to you just because you helped me combine the Maps of Access to Heaven, I also saved your life.”
“My dress is inside the pendant.”
“Uh…” Fang Zhengzhi looked at one of Yun Qingwu’s pendants and realized that her dress was inside.
Of course, there were other things apart from her dress.
He could not describe what he saw with words.
…
While Yun Qingwu hid behind a stone to change her clothes, Fang Zhengzhi started to look around.
The place could be described as a scene in a fairytale.
Water gushed out from the pond continuously like underground water. There were also green trees and blooming flowers around the pond.
Red, yellow, purple, white…
There was no longer the inverted waterfall and trees. Everything seemed to return to normal, it was beautiful.
However, what surprised Fang Zhengzhi was that he did not see any footprints beside the pond.
No footprints?!
What was going on?
Didn’t the Human Alliance enter this place?
That should not be the case as Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi were not silly enough to jump off the cliff together.
Moreover, Fang Zhengzhi remembered that he saw small puddles of water beside the inverted cliffs. That meant that Mu Qingfeng and the rest should have come to the “sky” with the waterfall.
However, why were there no footprints?
As Fang Zhengzhi thought about that, Yun Qingwu finished changing her clothes and walked out slowly from the stone.
She was wearing a dress with blue prints.
The main color was still white but there was a blue waistband on her dress. Along with her white long hair, Yun Qingwu’s smile dazzled the entire nation.
However, unfortunately, Yun Qingwu did not smile. In fact, her face was extremely pale and she looked like she was so weak that the wind could make her fall.
However, Fang Zhengzhi knew that the weak figure in front of him was the person who brought hope to the Monster Race and Demon Race.
Yun Qingwu…
She was too intelligent.
“I took a look at the surroundings. If I’m not wrong, our current location is a chess piece.” Yun Qingwu walked to Fang Zhengzhi and sat down as her body trembled.
Yun Qingwu was evidently still very weak. She had trouble standing and walking and beads of perspiration formed on her forehead.
“Chess piece?” Fang Zhengzhi was shocked.
Then, he took a look around him at the exuberant trees and the white mist amongst the trees.
“The world is the stage and the people are the chess pieces,” said Yun Qingwu calmly.
“So?”
“The Human Alliance should be in another chess piece.” Yun Qingwu seemed to be able to read Fang Zhengzhi’s mind.
“You mean this is a formation?” Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have figured it out.
“Kind of. However, it is not an ordinary formation. If I’m not wrong, this should be the ’36 Heavenly Stars Formation’. Using the chessboard as the stage, every mountain is a chess piece and the waterfall should be the entrance to the formation. One would end up in different pawns after entering the formation,” explained Yun Qingwu.
“How do you know that this is the ’36 Heavenly Stars Formation’?” Fang Zhengzhi was really shocked.
Just as he was still pondering over why there were no traces of the Human Alliance, Yun Qingwu had figured out that the location they were at was a chess piece and the name of this place was the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation.
Seriously?
Fang Zhengzhi would definitely not believe the difference between him and Yun Qingwu.
He had caught her a few times.
He refused to believe it!
“Do you still remember the inverted mountains floating in midair when you fought with Nangong Mu?” Yun Qingwu asked Fang Zhengzhi.
“…” Fang Zhengzhi’s lips moved.
“Those mountains were the chess pieces for the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation. I have observed them carefully and we should be on one of the inverted mountains right now. If I recall correctly, Nangong Mu had also taken notice of the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation carefully.”
“…” Fang Zhengzhi did not make any comments as no matter he believed it or not, Yun Qingwu was speaking the truth.
Even though he refused to admit it, Yun Qingwu was indeed better than him in terms of this aspect.
While he was busy admiring the scenery, Yun Qingwu had already made a complete analysis of their surroundings and predicted the next place they would enter.
How f*cking…
Meticulous.
Fang Zhengzhi had always known that Yun Qingwu was good at this but he only knew exactly how powerful she was after he had got in touch with her.
Silence.
Fang Zhengzhi stopped talking.
Yun Qingwu did not hurry him and also kept silent. She sat in front of Fang Zhengzhi and slowly regulated her breathing.
“Since you can tell that this is the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation, you should know where the exit is?” After a long silence, Fang Zhengzhi asked.
“Not yet.” Yun Qingwu shook her head.
“Not yet?”
“Yeah, I don’t know the exact chess piece we are at, so I won’t be able to tell where the exit is, I need some trial and error.”
“How?”
“If I guess correctly, every chess piece should have a place in which it is connected to. As long as we find this place and enter other chess pieces, I only need three tries to figure out where the “Heavenly Yuan” is.”
“Heavenly Yuan?”
“Yes. The Thirteen Stars Formation made use of the chessboard to set the stage, there are nine star positions on the chessboard. The center of it is the Heavenly Yuan. As long as we find the Heavenly Yuan, we will be able to find the exit.” Yun Qingwu nodded.
Fang Zhengzhi kept silent again.
What the f*ck…
He knew the chessboard had nine star positions. Besides that, he also knew that the chessboard was made up of 19 horizontal lines and 19 vertical lines. There were 361 intersection points in total.
361 intersection points…
How many different combinations were there?
It was comparable to the combinations of the different forms of stars in Astrology.
Yet, Yun Qingwu said she only needed three tries to find the exit, was she f*cking too intelligent or was he too stupid?
“Haha, I can’t believe that the Demon Young Lord Yun Wingwu is so weak?” Fang Zhengzhi suddenly laughed after keeping silent.
“Hmm?” Yun Qingwu turned to Fang Zhengzhi in confusion.
“Since you know it is the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation, why do you need to waste time to make three tries? If I’m not wrong, Nangong Mu has already started trying after entering the chess piece with the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race. Three times? I think we would have lost to Nangong Mu in terms of speed,” said Fang Zhengzhi.
“Unless you mean…”
“If I was doing it, I only need at most two tries to complete it!” Fang Zhengzhi said confidently.
