Nie Li shrugged. It’s not that he wasn’t willing to tell, it’s just that even if he were to tell her, Ye Ziyun wouldn’t be able to understand.
Ye Ziyun bypassed the statue. Just when she is preparing to check out the ruins, she suddenly screamed.
Nie Li realised that the place that Ye Ziyun was standing in was rapidly sinking in. His face changed, and he immediately rushed towards Ye Ziyun. However, the ground seemed to sink even more. A powerful suction sucked the both of them downwards. The bottom seemed to be a bottomless abyss.
‘Why would Ancient Orchid City have a place like this?’ Nie Li silently asked himself as he hugged Ye Ziyun tightly, and drew out his sword, nailing it into the cliff beside them.
When he attempted to nail the sword into the stone wall, *snap* it broke. The stone wall was too tough.
‘What the heck is this place?’
He looked down to see what’s at the bottom and he realised that beneath them was complete dark, unable to see anything.
At this moment, Ye Ziyun took advantage of the moment, since the speed of their descent had temporarily dropped. She quickly took out a rope from her interspatial ring, and hooked it onto the bulged area on the cliff. *Peng* both of them pulled onto the string, and managed to stop falling.
‘Icy Snow Spider Demon silk. It’s no wonder it has such toughness!’ thought Nie Li, relieved. Although they still felt the suction force from below, they had managed to stop.
“Nie Li, where is this place?” Ye Ziyun nervously asked. Both Nie Li and her were hanging in the air. However, due to the cliff being so smooth, it was simply impossible to climb and they couldn’t see what’s at the bottom.
“I have no idea!” Nie Li bitterly replied, smiling. He didn’t know that there was such a place in Ancient Orchid City nor did he hear about it from Ye Ziyun in his previous life. They had accidentally broke into a secret area within the Ancient Orchid City.
Remembering the things that just happened, Nie Li suddenly understood. The words that he had just read, must have been the “key” to enter this place!
“We can only go downwards!” Nie Li said, since they couldn’t go back up with the rocks being so slippery.
Nie Li raised his head. Under the moonlight, he could clearly see Ye Ziyun’s quick-witted pupils, slightly tilted eyelashes and flawless crystal clear skin. This scene had a kind of indescribable charm. Her pink lips were as though they had a thin layer of rouge on them. At this moment, the two of them were closely stuck together. Nie Li could vaguely feel the pair of softness in front of Ye Ziyun’s chest, and a girl’s fragrance coming from her.
Ye Ziyun also felt their affectionate posture and her cheeks suddenly blushed.
“Don’t move, I’ll go down first!” Ye Ziyun quickly said.
Seeing Ye Ziyun’s cramped and reserved look, Nie Li couldn’t help to think back to his previous life when he and Ye Ziyun just got together and had a tender affection for her from the depths of his heart.
He bluntly grabbed onto Ye Ziyun’s waist, smiled and said, “Hold onto me tightly, we’ll go down together!”
