Chapter 331: Through the Cold Pond

in order to avoid suspicion, he flattened his hands, letting Qin Luo smoke lie on his arm. He was afraid of having any other physical contact with her.Jin Mu was still shaken by his last brush with d..."Oh, then what are you going to do" Qin Luoyan didn't suspect anything and took the beads. She couldn't fight, and she might not be able to resist this cold pool. She didn't notice that when Li Yunfan handed her the beads, Li Hai's eyes almost popped out.

"I've got this, don't worry." Li Yun flashed her a reassuring smile.

"Thank you," Qin Luoyan nodded, then carefully put the beads away.

Li Hai opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Li Yun's sharp glare. "But..."

"Uncle, we're short on time. We have to leave soon, so would you mind leading the way" Li Yunfan bowed respectfully, preventing Li Hai from saying what he wanted to.

Li Hai shook his head, sighed deeply, and said nothing more. He bound up his sleeves and trouser legs, then took a deep breath and plunged headfirst into the cold water with a splash. In an instant, Li Hai's figure disappeared.

"Alright, we should head down now. You walk in the middle, and I'll bring up the rear." Li Yun carefully helped Qin Luoyan adjust her sleeves. Qin Luoyan felt this action was too intimate, a little uncomfortable, and quickly stepped back, adjusting herself.

"Then I'll go down." Qin Luoyan said, taking a deep breath and jumping into the cold pool.

A piercing chill instantly struck every pore. Without time for a swim warm-up, she worried about cramps if they came, but to her surprise, after a moment of coldness, she felt a warmth rising in her arms.

She was puzzled, and lowered her head in confusion. She saw a faint glow emanating from within her arms. In an instant, she understood—this warm current came from the pearl Li Yun had given her earlier. She couldn't believe that such magical objects actually existed in the world. She had always thought things like water-repelling pearls were just mythical stories. Now, she was witnessing firsthand a pearl that could radiate heat and provide warmth in cold conditions.

Because of this pearl, after a short while, she no longer felt the cold. She was happy and immediately searched for Li Hai's figure. It turned out that Li Hai was just one zhang in front of her, in the icy pool. The darkness was pitch black. If it weren't for the fact that Li Hai was also wearing this pearl, faintly emitting a light, she wouldn't have been able to see him at all.

She walked over to Li Hai's side and got closer to him before turning back to look for Li Yunfan.

But…

In the pitch-black world, there was not a glimmer of light.

She turned her head and looked at Li Hai, gesturing with her hands as if asking, "Where is Li Yunfan"

Li Hai frowned, staring intently at the back. In the darkness, his expression was unclear, but after a while, he slowly shook his head.

Qin Luoyan's heart pounded with increasing anxiety. Suddenly, in a flash, she understood what was going on.

There are only two of these pearls, Li Yunfan gave them to her, so he himself has nothing that glows. So in the pitch-black world, they couldn't find her.

Qin Luoyan's heart pounded violently. She wanted to struggle back to find Li Yanshan, but Li Hai suddenly grabbed her arm. As she was about to resist, a figure suddenly rushed out from the front.

She was startled, nearly letting out a gasp, but then, using the faint light from the pearl in her arms, she saw it was Li Yunfan's face. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

After the three gathered together, they lined up and walked forward in an orderly fashion. The cold lake was deep and dark, the road ahead long, and time seemed to pass in eerie silence.

Logically speaking, such a cold pool shouldn't be so simple and harmless. However, along the way, Qin Luoyan didn't feel any danger at all. The more secure it was, the less certain she felt in her heart. But time was tight and there was no room for her to think too much.

Finally, Li Hai emerged from the water first, and after quickly climbing ashore, he took out his fire striker and ignited the tung oil lamp on the bank. Light returned to the world, and Qin LuoYan, taking advantage of the light, also surfaced.

Although it was only a minute or so, she felt like an entire century had passed.

"Come, I'll pull you to shore." Li Hai immediately reached out to help. Qin Luo Yan grabbed his hand and with a heave, she got onto the shore.

It's strange, her clothes were soaked by the cold spring water. She should have been the coldest when she came out of the water, but because she had the pearl on her body, she didn't feel cold at all. She couldn't help but smile at Li Hai and said, "Uncle Li, this pearl is really amazing. Its effect of keeping warm is so magical. By the way, have you figured out the mechanism in this cold spring I haven't felt any danger along the way."

“This Cold Pond doesn’t have any mechanisms…” Li Hai didn’t laugh, not only did he not laugh, but his expression became very serious instead. He looked at the surface of the Cold Pond with worry and trepidation, his voice sounding somewhat wavering, “However, this Cold Pond isn’t as safe as you think…”

"How do you say" Qin Luoyan was puzzled, and just as she was about to ask, she suddenly realized that the two of them had been up here for a while. How come Li Yunfan hadn't come out yet

She was a little nervous, then squatted down and peered into the icy pool. She didn't look at first, but when she did, she jumped back half a step in fright, for the water of the icy pool was tinged with a faint red, accompanied by a barely perceptible metallic smell of blood!

"It's blood!" she exclaimed, unable to contain herself as she pressed her face against the edge of the icy pool and cried out, "Li Yunfan! Li Yunfan!"

Only these three entered this icy pool. Neither she nor Li Hai bore any wounds, so the source of this blood was clear.

A nameless fear enveloped Qin Luoyan. She suddenly felt a pang of regret. If Li Yun was hurt because of her, she would carry the guilt for the rest of her life. Although she didn't have romantic feelings for him, she couldn't bear to see him die because of her!

“Li Yunshan!” Qin Luoyan gritted her teeth and roared again, her eyes fixed on the surface of the cold pool. But the cold pool was eerily silent, not a single sound. She turned back and shouted at Li Hai, “Uncle Li, what’s going on Can’t we do anything”

Li Hai walked back and forth on the shore, a look of hesitation on his face. He was anxious, but still forced himself to say, "We have no choice now but to wait. However, he should be out of danger. It's just... it's just... Sigh, this time is not right either. Even if he's safe, according to past practice, he should have come out by now. But it's been much longer than usual..."

Before he could utter a word, the sound of rushing water arose. Then, from the surface of the frigid pond, Li Yanshan's figure finally emerged. He immediately rushed to the bank and reached out to pull him up from the water.
