As you walk deeper into the waterfall, the sound of the rushing water grows stronger, but when you reach the end, you find yourself in a dead end.
"Hmm?" Luo Bai stepped forward with a puzzled look, and suddenly felt his palm touch a layer of water.
"There's even this kind of design."
He exclaimed in surprise and slowly reached his hand into the unseen water until he was completely immersed in it.
"Splash—"
The loud sound of water echoed in her ears. Luo Bai passed through the waterfall, and a bright and open view suddenly appeared before her.
At the same time, a mouthwatering aroma of fish wafted into the air.
He instinctively swallowed again and looked in the direction of the smell.
It was none other than that awesome silver-haired girl.
“I…” Luo Bai was speechless.
After going around in circles, he returned to the lake area where the two had met, the only difference being that...
After this stroll, damn it, the fish was cooked.
"Uh... hello."
Luo Bai stood frozen in place, his gaze wandering aimlessly, awkwardly exiting the three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.
Yi Lan covered her mouth, trying hard to suppress her laughter, but you could still catch a glimpse of the corners of her mouth curving up.
"Have something to eat." She smiled faintly at the fool and cut the grilled fish in half.
"Add soy sauce, cumin, and chili yourself."
On the other side, the fish was placed in front of Luo Bai, accompanied by two or three small cakes of condiments.
"Th...thank you." Luo Bai stopped pretending, thanked him, and sat down on the stone slab.
He picked up the grilled meat, smeared it with seasoning, tore off a small piece, and put it in his mouth, his eyes widening in surprise.
"Holy crap, this smells amazing!" he exclaimed to himself.
The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, melting in your mouth with a subtle spice flavor.
A warm current surged through my body, which felt very comfortable and relaxing.
Flaming carp can dispel cold and accelerate the recovery of one's physical strength and energy.
For some reason, Luo Bai's eyes welled up with tears.
After eating wild vegetables and game meat that hadn't been properly seasoned for half a month, we're finally getting to eat something good.
"It's good to be alive."
When people enjoy delicious food, they often have philosophical reflections.
"Do you...know me?" Luo Bai turned to look at Yi Lan, unable to contain his curiosity.
Yi Lan glanced away, avoiding eye contact, and pursed her lips guiltily, saying, "Maybe...maybe."
"Anyway..."
"I don't dislike it."
Chapter 607, Fourth Floor (3)
"I don't dislike her." Luo Bai slowly lost himself in these three words, the girl in front of him quickly overlapping with the figure in his memory. "I see."
"As long as you don't dislike it..."
He muttered something to himself in a very low voice, so softly that she couldn't hear him at all.
The air fell silent again as the two of them tore off pieces of fish and put them in their mouths.
Strangely, although both of them were very hungry, they tore off very small pieces and ate very politely, as if they didn't want this time to pass so quickly.
"How did you end up in the water?" Luo Bai couldn't help but ask curiously.
Yi Lan's brow furrowed suddenly, her lips turned down, and she gently put down the grilled fish: "I lost a fish."
"A very important fish, but we can't find it no matter what we do."
"I can't remember..."
“A strange person told me that if I climb to the top of a snow-capped mountain, I can remember everything.”
"so..."
"I swam up."
She said it so matter-of-factly, without pausing for a moment.
"Swimmed...swam up here?!" Luo Bai's mind went blank, unable to process what was happening. "You...you swam all the way up from the River Styx at the foot of the mountain?!"
"Ah."
"While we were preparing for the battle, you were swimming?"
"Ah."
"We were hiking up the mountain while you were swimming?"
"Hmm." She nodded three times and said blankly, "I thought the fish should be in the river, so I was thinking... maybe I could catch it."
That makes so much sense. Luo Bai was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to refute it.
"You swam for fifteen days? From the bottom of the mountain to the fourth level?"
"Is the referee here? Referee!"
"Someone's exploiting a bug!"
He complained wildly, but no referee showed up. The rules for the first seven levels weren't actually that strong; you could use any method and reach the seventh level within two days.
The actual situation is...
Mickey himself never expected that someone could be so audacious!
"A fish that managed to slip through your fingers." Luo Bai recalled the scene of her catching the Flame Carp and couldn't help but wonder, "What did that fish look like? It was quite formidable."
Yi Lan shook her head: "I don't remember."
"And..." she looked around, her expression helpless, "we can't swim up."
The River Styx only connects to the fourth level of the snow mountain; to go further up, one must rely on duels or other methods.
"How big is that fish?" Luo Bai continued to press for clues, as a way of repaying her kindness in grilling the fish; he would help if he could.
"How big is it?" Yi Lan tilted her head, as if she was trying to remember something.
Suddenly, she looked up at Luo Bai and said softly, "Come here."
"Huh?" Luo Bai paused, not understanding why asking "how big" meant walking over there.
With a sense of doubt, he stood up and walked towards the other person.
When Yi Lan saw him approaching, she stood up and slowly opened her arms.
Taking advantage of Luo Bai's momentary lapse in attention.
She clasped her hands together and hugged Luo Bai tightly, pressing her face against his chest.
"Uh...no...this..." Luo Bai was hit hard, and his mind went blank.
Yi Lan pressed against his chest, her arms tightening slightly, and whispered, "It's this big."
A novel quantifier.
It's as big as a hug.
After a while, she finally let go of the hug, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Luo Bai was completely frozen, his brain slowly rebooting: "Your description... is very apt."
“But it seems we can’t get out,” Yi Lan said with a wry smile. “Going into the cave will just lead us back. No matter which fork in the road we take, we’ll trigger a mechanism and end up back here.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Bai quickly regained his composure: "So you knew it would come full circle..."
"That's indeed troublesome; there must be some kind of mechanism in this lake."
"It's just a little hard to find..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure floated down from the void with a ding.
"I-I-I know!" Mickey exclaimed excitedly. "Come on, let's make a deal!"
Luo Bai narrowed her eyes: "What are you up to now?"
"I'd like to take a picture, and I need your help." Mickey's eyes gleamed with artistic brilliance.
"A group photo?" Luo Bai turned to look at Yi Lan. "This... even if I agree..."
Artistic photos are a very ambiguous term; not every girl can be as uninhibited as Shen Shen.
“I do,” Yi Lan replied decisively.
"He wants to take artistic photos..." Luo Bai thought she hadn't understood and wanted to explain further, "There might be some strange physical contact..."
“I can,” Yi Lan said calmly.
Mickey turned to look at Luo Bai: "And you?"
“I…” Luo Bai hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yi Lan, his expression becoming firm, “I am willing.”
[Transaction Completed]
A cold and authoritative voice echoed in the sky.
Mickey smiled slightly: "What would you two like to ask?"
"This is a group photo; you can ask any of them."
After thinking for a while, Yi Lan asked very directly, "How can I get to the fifth floor?"
“There are two paths.” Mickey said matter-of-factly, pointing to a cave. “In the first path, go down from this fork, take the elevator back to the third floor, then take the biological fork, defeat the guard, and return to the fourth floor outside the snow mountain to take the main path.”
"The second way..."
