There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

She was about to say something when an unexpected accident occurred.

The necklace hanging around Hu Meier's jade-like neck was originally adorned with a small fire agate, no bigger than a thumb. Its brilliance shone brightly in the sunlight, making the large expanse of Hu Meier's fair skin appear even more delicate and pleasing to the eye.

However, because Hu Meier was so angry with Jiang Mo that her chest heaved violently, the Fire Rain Agate accidentally rolled into the ditch.

The dress, which leans towards a dignified style, was intentionally tightened with a corset, causing the already smooth and fair breasts to fit together tightly, with an unexpectedly astonishing clamping force.

The already worn-out red rope was ultimately unable to bear the heavy burden.

With Hu Meier's chest heaving violently, it finally snapped at the extreme tension. Others might not have noticed, but how could Hu Meier, the person involved, be completely unaware?

She was terrified and quickly reached out to catch the fire agate.

It would have been fine if it hadn't moved, but as soon as it moved, the Fire Rain Agate was immediately flung out, drawing a dazzling curve in the air like a rainbow.

With a splash, it fell into the water.

It sank rapidly to the bottom of the unfathomable, icy pool.

Again? Didn't I tell you to stop with this? Do you think I'd fall for it just because you changed the jewelry? But this time, I'd give you an eight out of ten.

At least his acting wasn't as exaggerated as before.

The amazing elasticity of those surging waves was also quite a sight to behold.

Maintaining a detached and indifferent attitude, Jiang Mo reacted with lightning speed, seeing what was happening sooner than anyone else. If he wanted, he could even have intercepted the Fire Rain Agate before it fell.

But he didn't move, just waited to see what tricks Hu Meier would pull this time.

But something unexpected happened to Jiang Mo. Without giving any further orders, Hu Meier, who had failed to catch the Fire Rain Agate, turned and followed its trajectory as it fell, leaping into the bottomless, icy pool.

"Miss!"

Jiang Mo had already taken a quick step and reached out to hug Hu Meier when Chunlan, who was closer to her, also reacted quickly and reached out to stop Hu Meier.

He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and shouted angrily:

"This is no joke!"

Hu Meier, who usually readily admits her mistakes and tries to get away with being scolded, is clearly furious this time.

She completely ignored Chunlan's stern rebuke.

Even though he was being held tightly in the other person's arms, he struggled to lunge towards the icy pool, shouting incoherently:

"Fire Rain Agate, that belongs to Mother! Let me go, you can't lose it!"

Tears welled up in his eyes, and his anxious and distraught appearance truly made anyone who saw him feel heartbroken.

Chunlan, who understood even more clearly what the Fire Rain Agate meant, was especially heartbroken.

Knowing this, she dared not relax in the slightest and even secretly used her natal Gu, Apricot Blossom Rain, to gradually weaken Hu Meier's struggles in her arms.

Of course, it wasn't that she didn't try.

While restraining Hu Meier to prevent the girl from doing anything foolish in desperation, Chunlan raised her voice and shouted to the surrounding guards:

"What are you standing there for! Hurry up and help Miss get her things back!"

Mingming finally had a chance to show off, but those who had been eagerly looking at the pearl flower now looked at each other and hesitated, with no one responding to Chunlan's words.

Tsk, a bunch of good-for-nothings.

Whether they can even get it back is another matter, but at a time like this, they don't even have the courage to try? They might as well raise a few more dogs!

Chunlan's face grew even angrier, and just as she was about to reprimand him sternly, a loud "thump" was heard.

She looked over in astonishment and saw huge splashes of water erupting from the icy pool, and a nimble figure diving headfirst into the bottomless depths of the pool without hesitation.

The child's exclamation still echoed in my ears:

"Brother Mo? Brother Mo, don't be impulsive!"

Chapter 39 So That's Where It Was

when?

After hearing the baby swallow's cry, Chunlan belatedly realized that the person who had decisively jumped into the water was Jiang Mo, who had previously refused to go into the water no matter what. She was immediately horrified.

It was Jiang Mo's sudden change of heart that caused this.

Instead, she failed to notice the other party's actions.

Even when they heard the sound of water entering the pool and looked over, Jiang Mo had already quickly disappeared into the depths of the icy pool, leaving only a blurry and indistinct figure.

Just how fast is this skill?!

Chunlan found herself unable to answer for a moment.

However, she quickly found an explanation that she could believe.

Jiang Mo must have already taken action before I even had a chance to give the order, but I was too preoccupied with my mistress to notice.

Chunlan thought this way, without giving it much further thought.

Rather than dwelling on how Jiang Mo entered the water so quickly, the more important thing right now is to help Hu Meier retrieve the Fire Rain Agate. Although Chunlan was pleased with Jiang Mo's resolute action in entering the water, she wasn't very confident that he could get the Fire Rain Agate back.

After all, Jiang Mo himself had previously made excuses, saying that he was not good at swimming.

We might not get anything back, and then this person might get burned.

Thinking of this, Chunlan, who greatly admired Jiang Mo, quickly called out the names of two guards and ordered, "Zhao Da, Zhao Er, don't just stand there, get in the water!"

"Even if we can't find the items, we must bring the person back to me!!"

Upon hearing Chunlan's direct order, the two tall and burly guards had no choice but to step forward and jump into the cold pool with a splash.

Seeing that someone had taken the lead, others on the shore, some of whom were quite courageous, followed suit and jumped into the water.

The anxious young swallow also wanted to jump down. He didn't expect to get anything, but he was just worried about Jiang Mo's safety and wanted to see the situation.

He had barely reached the shore when Chunlan grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

"What are you doing here, little brat? If you want your brother to come back safely, you'd better stay on the shore and stop causing trouble!!"

After being harshly reprimanded by Chunlan, Chuyan bit her lip, looking resentful.

But he knew in his heart that with his own strength, he couldn't help Jiang Mo at all, so he could only crane his neck and hope that the familiar figure would return to his sight soon.

But things in life often don't go as planned.

Here, a cascading waterfall plunges down, its turbulent flow far exceeding that of ordinary waterfalls; otherwise, Hu Meier would not have deliberately chosen this place to torment and embarrass Jiang Mo.

Fire Rain Agate is not like pearl.

This rare gem, which is difficult to carve and polish, is always quite heavy. Once it fell into the water, it quickly sank to the bottom of the cold pool, showing no sign of floating up.

This is why no one had previously been eager to retrieve the Fire Rain Agate.

Retrieving that pearl flower might only require a couple of splashes in the water, but to retrieve that fiery agate, one might have to dive to the bottom of the pool.

That level of danger is extraordinary.

In addition, the underwater lighting is dim, so even if it is as dazzling as fire rain agate, it is difficult to find in an environment where it is difficult to even open one's eyes.

Even if one is willing to take risks, they will most likely return empty-handed.

Knowing these facts, everyone felt that the hope of retrieving the Fire Rain Agate was slim. However, what they did not expect was that Jiang Mo, who had chased after the Fire Rain Agate, was also nowhere to be found!

Splash~ Splash~

The sound of splashing water was incessant, the noise of guards diving into the water as they tried to find Jiang Mo.

The sound seemed so faint amidst the deafening roar of the waterfall crashing down.

It was so far away that it didn't even attract Jiang Mo's attention.

At this moment, Jiang Mo had only one thought in his mind:

cold!

It's so cold!

When Jiang Mo first heard Hu Meier say that the water in this cold pool was icy and clear, he didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until he jumped into the water that he truly felt what icy and clear meant.

Its chill is colder than ice and snow, penetrating to the very core of one's being.

This was Jiang Mo's true feeling at this moment. He was very certain that if an ordinary person were to swim into the depths of the cold pool like he was, they would probably soon become cold and numb in their hands and feet and be unable to exert any strength. They might even convulse due to sudden hypothermia and drown on the spot.

Even for Jiang Mo before yesterday, such a reckless entry into the water could be considered taking a dangerous gamble.

However, he was not afraid of the chilling aura emanating from the water, because Jiang Mo's body was filled with a surge of rich blood and qi.

The cold air in the water actually made Jiang Mo's blood and qi surge even more violently.

It even gives you the illusion of feeling warm all over as if you're on fire.

As for holding his breath, which is the most crucial skill for underwater activities, it is not a problem for Jiang Mo. Although his swimming skills may not be as superb as those of those with lightness skills, he still has profound internal strength as a foundation.

Jiang Mo had enough internal energy to sustain himself for a long time before it was completely depleted.

Even so, retrieving the Fire Rain Agate was by no means easy, because Jiang Mo swam down into the depths of the cold pool and was surprised to find that the bottom of the water was extremely deep.

Moreover, the further down you go, the more complex the terrain becomes.

It even vaguely presents a complex environment with waterways that are interconnected in all directions, like a maze.

Even so, Jiang Mo had no intention of turning back. He knew very well that this first mission, which closely followed the Fire Rain Agate, had the highest success rate.

If we turn back and come again.

Even with more thorough preparations, finding that one-of-a-kind fire rain agate again would probably be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Now that we've come all this way, how can we leave empty-handed?!

The saying "A thief never leaves empty-handed" is no joke.

Therefore, even though his vision had become completely dark, Jiang Mo still exerted all his strength to swim downstream, chasing the faint light that was constantly falling in his vision.

They clearly agreed to keep a low profile, so why did they jump into the water again?

In the dim underwater world, where no one else was around, Jiang Mo couldn't help but ask himself this question, but he couldn't answer it for a moment.

why?

Perhaps it's because he's a kind-hearted person who can't bear to see others, especially beautiful girls, shedding tears.
