Chapter 29: The Heart of a Virgin

  Plop!!

  In the midst of a huge splash, the three people fell into the river on horseback. Fortunately, this was upstream, and although it was the dry season, there was still plenty of water in the riverbed upstream. Otherwise, falling from such a high place would have turned them into pancakes.

  As soon as they fell into the water, the powerful force of the fall directly pulled them to the bottom of the river. Xia Ya struggled with all her might, but felt a large amount of river water pouring in through her mouth and nose. She struggled again, only to feel her legs tangled in the stirrups, and after two more struggles, not only did she fail to shake them off, but they became even more entangled. Her heart racing with anxiety, she subconsciously opened her mouth to take a breath, and suddenly a mouthful of water poured in, almost choking her to death on the spot.

  Xia Ya only felt more and more water pouring in, his hands and feet were heavy, his body was increasingly weak, even his consciousness began to blur. His struggling strength was getting smaller and smaller.

  At this moment, a hand stretched out from the side, pulled out the fire fork at Xia Ya's waist, cut off the stirrup with force, and then dragged Xia Ya's armpit from behind, floating up...

  As soon as he emerged from the water, Xia Ya suddenly felt a strong light in front of him. He was dragged onto the riverbank with great difficulty and thrown onto a rock.

  The poor worm's hair was wet and dripping, he exerted himself to turn Xia Ya over, then punched Xia Ya in the stomach.

  Wow!!

  Xia Ya spat out a big mouthful of water, and then violently coughed for a while before finally catching his breath.

  The poor worm looked at Xia Ya with concern: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

  "I'm full..." Xia Ya replied after half a day.

  `

  After panting for a while, Xia Ya lifted her head and saw Ke Leng Chong and Aoxue standing beside her - the three of them were now at the bottom of the canyon, with the river water next to them, and they were all lying on a shallow rock that was only as big as two dining tables put together, surrounded by water in all directions.

  Across the valley came the sound of people shouting and horses neighing. Looking far away, the pursuers on top of the valley had arrived, circling their horses along the cliff edge for a few laps, seemingly reluctant to look down for a while, but the other side of the valley was steep and precipitous, with no handholds due to years of river erosion, making it impossible to climb down unless these pursuers turned into monkeys one by one.

  At last, those guys hesitated for a while and reluctantly left, probably going downstream to find a place with flat terrain to cross the river. Xia Ya remembered very clearly that all the way here, the riverbed's terrain was extremely treacherous, and if they wanted to find a place to cross the river, unless it was where they camped yesterday, even riding horses back and forth, these pursuers wouldn't be able to catch up within a few hours.

  The pursuers left, and for the time being, Xia Ya felt a sense of relief. She turned over and coughed for a while before lifting her head to look at Ke Liang with an odd tone: "Was it you who pulled me out of the water just now?"

  The poor worm glared at the toad, who was also drenched from head to toe, her hair stuck together as she tilted her head to wring it out. "How dare you!" she shouted. "You can't even swim! As soon as you hit the water, you sank like a stone! And yet you have the nerve to try to jump over the horse?"

  Xia Ya curled up the corner of her mouth and chuckled twice: "This... I've heard many stories, where the protagonist is chased to the edge of a cliff, leaps on horseback, and even if the cliff is wider, can jump over with divine assistance. Why can't we do it? Probably because you're too heavy!"

  The poor worm couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart when he heard the last sentence - all women, regardless of age, beauty or ugliness, are always particularly sensitive to their weight problems.

  However, facing this turtle, the poor worm didn't even bother to engage in a verbal dispute with him, and just rolled his eyes a few times.

  Xia Ya wasn't a fool, he thought for a moment and understood the situation just now.

  He leaped off the horse and jumped into the water, but because Poor Insect and Earth Spirit Princess were only sitting on the horse, they quickly swam out after falling in. However, he was wearing stirrups and the weight of the horse was too great, so he sank directly to the bottom of the water. And this mountain-raised guy happened to have no swimming skills at all; if Poor Insect hadn't saved him, he would have really lost his life here today.

  "Those guys will probably be after us soon, we need to think of a way to get out of here." Xia Ya sat up, and immediately winced in pain. There was still an arrow lodged in his shoulder, which he had managed to grit through during the intense fight just now, but as soon as he relaxed, the pain became unbearable. He grasped the tail of the arrow with one hand, took a deep breath, and muttered a curse under his breath.

  Poor bug looked at Xia Ya's appearance, and the anger in his stomach had already dissipated. He anxiously approached her: "Your injury is not light, we must remove the arrow."

  She hesitated for a moment, picked up the fire fork, and undid Xia Ya's upper garment. Xia Ya was originally wearing a suit of armor stripped from Wang Cheng's Four Showy Nie Gu Er Jiu Han, but unfortunately, with one swipe of the fire fork, the armor was immediately cut open. This fire fork looked dull and rusty, yet it was surprisingly sharp.

  The arrow was very deep in the flesh, but fortunately it did not pierce Xia Ya through. Seeing the wound with blood and flesh blurred together, the poor insect's heart also trembled, forcing itself to endure the nauseating feeling: "You, bear the pain." Then it used a fire fork to cut open the skin and flesh around the wound.

  As soon as the fire fork entered the meat, Xia Ya suddenly let out a shocking and earth-shattering howl. The poor worm was not fainted by the blood, but almost fell down by this miserable cry. His hand shook, staring at Xia Ya angrily: "What are you yelling about?"

  "Nonsense! Let me poke you and see if it hurts!" Xia Ya said with a straight face.

  "When you're fighting with others, your desperate look is scary to watch. Why are you not pretending to be a hero now?" The poor worm looked somewhat amusing.

  Xia Ya rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, who says heroes don't fear pain? Fighting to the death is one thing, but being cut by a knife or shot by an arrow doesn't hurt? I'm not some kind of hero, no need to pretend to be tough." As she spoke, she shivered again.

  "Ah... bear with it a bit." The poor guy wanted to tease him some more, but then he thought about how this bumpkin had gotten hurt while trying to save himself, and the mocking words in his heart couldn't be spoken out loud. His tone became even gentler, and he leaned in closer, carefully using the fire tongs to reopen the wound a bit further.

  Xia Ya's mouth opened wide again, ready to let out a miserable cry, but this time the sound got stuck in her throat.

  Why?

  When Kerenbug leaned down, his head was almost stuck to Xia Ya's face. He felt Kerenbug's breath lightly sprayed on his face, and that breath had a faintly indescribable sweet feeling. Xia Ya's virgin heart suddenly jumped a few times, and an indescribable numbness rose from the bottom of his heart.

  His mind was muddled, but a ridiculous idea emerged: "This guy hasn't brushed his teeth for days, how come his mouth doesn't stink at all..."

  This is something that can't be explained, it's just human nature, the natural thrill of male hormones meeting female hormones.

  Xia Ya was startled by this feeling, he instinctively took a deep breath, but unexpectedly sucked in more of that smell from the poor worm's body. His heart suddenly beat several times faster, and at this moment, the poor worm felt Xia Ya's body slightly moving, subconsciously turning his head with dissatisfaction: "Don't move around, I... uh!!"

  Just as his head was turning sideways, his lips brushed against Xia Ya's gaping mouth...

  For an instant, both of them were stunned.

  It was just a fleeting touch, the poor bug's lips barely grazed Shaya's mouth, as if they had touched but also as if they were still a hair's breadth apart, yet both of them clearly felt the real sensation of that touch.

  At this moment, Xia Ya was stunned: No wonder this guy spoke in a soft and gentle voice, his lips were so soft...

  One second later, the two of them let out a loud shout at the same time and suddenly sprang apart. Xia Ya's mouth was agape as he stared at Keliwu with wide eyes, while Keliwu's face turned bright red as he furiously wiped his own mouth.

  Poor bug's heart is bleeding: I'm done for, my first kiss was given to a bumpkin...

  Xia Ya secretly vomited blood in his heart: Damn it! Last time I was hugging this guy, and this time he actually kissed me! I'm actually being kissed by a man!!!!!

  Xia Ya was about to shout in anger, but just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a sense of discomfort on his shoulder. He looked down and saw that the poor guy had been holding onto the arrow on his shoulder all along. The two quickly separated, and the poor guy flashed backwards, subconsciously pulling out the arrow with a strong force!

  Xia Ya's eyes widened and she let out a blood-curdling scream!

  On his shoulder, a sudden whoosh, and an arrow of blood shot out...
