Capítulo 1358: Chapter 1349: Rescue

Sure enough, the sound of rushing water came from above, and soon Xiao Yifei felt someone grabbing his collar, pulling him upwards.

Xiao Yifei’s neck was a bit sore from the strangulation, feeling somewhat frustrated. Damn, you clearly saw I was unconscious, you could have just grabbed my hand or arm,

why be so professional? And grab the neck.

With a splash… the water surface broke, and Xiao Yifei emerged, his face pale, being pulled onto the shore. At this time, quite a few people gathered by the shore; some holding umbrellas, wearing raincoats, and naturally, many without any rain protection, like a young flower-like girl, who was soaked by the rain yet seemed oblivious, with her face full of anxiety and fear, watching the water surface with tears in her eyes, and upon seeing Xiao Yifei being dragged ashore, she almost jumped into the water with excitement.

It was none other than Li Xue’er, who had just been teased by Xiao Yifei. Her house was only a few dozen meters away from Xiao Yifei’s, and she had been a tagalong since they were kids. Xiao Yifei was so excellent, and after the little girl started developing feelings, she pinned all her affection on him.

Just now, she ran away, unable to bear being teased by Xiao Yifei, but she didn’t run far, hiding in the shadows, and ended up witnessing him slip into the small Mirror Lake, almost scared to death, quickly rushing over and then pulling people along to rescue Xiao Yifei.

The onlookers were originally hurrying home, but a flower-like girl, with tears in her eyes and soaking wet, called for help, causing quite a few people to be moved, their hero complexes triggered, and they rushed into the water without a second thought, pulling Xiao Yifei out.

“Quick, save him, press his stomach to drain the water. If he doesn’t wake up, perform CPR!”

Someone in the crowd shouted. Actually, most people these days know how to perform drowning first aid. Xiao Yifei was dragged ashore, his stomach pressed forcefully, causing him some discomfort, but fortunately, he had secretly taken a sip of water earlier, preparing for this moment.

In sync with the pressing, a spout of water shot out.

“Wow, it worked.”

Someone in the crowd exclaimed loudly upon seeing this.

“Hehehe…”

Quite a few people chuckled, including the girls giggling softly.

“He’s still not awake, CPR it is. Who’s going to do it?” Someone shouted again.

Xiao Yifei felt a surge of tension. Luckily, he was a man, because if he were a woman, it might have sparked a war, yet even so, there was a guy with an effeminate demeanor shyly saying, “I’m willing.”

“No, none of you are allowed,” Li Xue’er swept aside the crowd, leaning over Xiao Yifei, pinching his nose, and bringing her little mouth down, her youthful scent seeping into Xiao Yifei’s mouth, blowing in a gust of warm air.

Xiao Yifei’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily, as he almost had a reaction below. Damn, this is way too stimulating, isn’t it? Feeling the movement from Xiao Yifei, Li Xue’er was filled with excitement, secretly hoping he would wake up.

Xiao Yifei really wanted to extend his rascal side and flirt a bit, but he really didn’t have the guts, especially with so many people around.

But at this point, he held back, savoring Li Xue’er’s very lovely little mouth, then finally pretending to groan, awakening.

Li Xue’er cried tears of joy, tightly embracing Xiao Yifei’s head in her own bosom, not caring about her own tender, protruding soft chest pressing against Xiao Yifei’s face.

Xiao Yifei was hit with another wave of excitement, involuntarily inhaling deeply, a mix of fragrance and the mustiness of water rushing into his nostrils.

Li Xue’er held his head, choking with sobs but blissfully murmuring, “Yifei brother, you’re finally awake, you scared me to death just now.”

Xiao Yifei opened his eyes to see quite a few envious, jealous, and hateful gazes from the guys around, feeling secretly pleased, but the rain continued to pour relentlessly from the sky. Many people wanted to watch the drama unfold, but given the heavy rain, seeing no big spectacle, they scrambled away swiftly with their heads ducked.

Now, only Xiao Yifei and Li Xue’er were left, embracing each other, disregarding the rain.

“Um, Li Xue’er, your figure has grown really nicely!”

Xiao Yifei’s head was kept pressed in her bosom for too long. Although it was nice, he couldn’t breathe. Xiao Yifei had no choice but to speak up as a reminder.

Li Xue’er was startled, quickly letting go of his head, her face flushed, pouting, “You’re so naughty! At a time like this, you’re still joking around.”

She immediately let go of Xiao Yifei’s arm, standing up, as the rain flowed over her charming smile and down her long hair.

“Achoo!”

Li Xue’er had just stood up and sneezed, shivering from head to toe. Although it was still summer, it was late summer, and suddenly being soaked in such heavy rain was a bit chilly.

Xiao Yifei quickly stood up, waved his hand on her back, letting a stream of warmth burst out, entering Li Xue’er’s body.

Li Xue’er’s entire body trembled, almost wanting to jump up. If she didn’t trust Xiao Yifei so much, she definitely would have jumped away. But still, she nervously said, “Xiao Yifei brother, what are you doing?”

“Don’t move, I’m channeling inner strength to drive away the cold.”

Xiao Yifei couldn’t care to hide the fact that he was a cultivator anymore, directly channeling energy to dispel the cold for Li Xue’er. After all, Li Xue’er disregarded her maidenly modesty for him; if his swimming skills weren’t on point and he didn’t drown, his life today would definitely be saved by Li Xue’er. The girl’s deep feelings for him, if he ignored her pain for his selfish reasons, he really wouldn’t be a decent person.

“What? Yifei Brother, you can use martial arts? And inner strength? Did I just cross into a martial arts novel world?” Li Xue’er was incredibly surprised; she was a fan of time-travel stories, and they were really popular these days, novels were a hit, TV shows as well, and she was quite influenced by them.

Xiao Yifei laughed, “What do you mean by time travel, the world you live in is full of wonders, actually many people are cultivators, who can use martial arts and know inner strength. I’m just one of them.”

“So it’s all true. No wonder you act weird and love to fight, always hitting people without getting hit back!”

Li Xue’er said in a strange tone.

Xiao Yifei felt a little down, retorting unhappily, “Do you want me to get beaten up?”

Li Xue’er hurriedly shook her head, “No, I just like watching you beat others. Hehe, I just know Yifei brother will surely be a hero in the future.”

Xiao Yifei felt a hint of melancholy, involuntarily sighing. He knew he wasn’t some great hero. In the Xiao Family, he was basically a forgotten member. His cousins at his uncle’s and second uncle’s place were already reaching the Sixth Layer Realm, soon to advance to the Seventh Layer, while he was stuck, trapped at the Fifth Layer. What kind of hero is that!

“Are you still cold?”

Xiao Yifei asked softly.

Li Xue’er not only didn’t feel cold anymore, she even felt warm all over, especially where Xiao Yifei’s hand was pressed. She didn’t know that Xiao Yifei cultivated the Fire Element cultivation method, one of the four major cultivation systems of Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire. Most people have a single attribute physique, belonging to one of the four major attributes, and could only cultivate a single type of cultivation method. And what Xiao Yifei cultivated was the Fire Element Cultivation Method ‘Fiery Fire Scripture’ within the family, a not very high-quality Acquired Technique.
