A Woman’s Fragrance (5) – No One Had Ever Been So Close To Him
Especially after Li Ruo Shui had cold sweats, the blowing cold wind felt even colder now, her body could not help shivering and she sneezed.
“Achoo—”
She rubbed her nose and heard Lu Zhi Yao chuckled, his laughter baffled her.
They continued to walk forward, the river gradually became wider, but the water flow was narrowed and turbulent, yet the water depth was much lower than before.
Three holes with different heights appeared at the end of the river, and the turbulent river branched out from the three holes and disappeared into the darkness.
There were a few large rocks in the river, about half an inch away from the entrance of the cave, as if saying come and step on me and enter the hole from here.
Jiang Nian took the lead and stepped on it first. He held the fluorite and carefully illuminated the three holes. But because the light source was too dim, it could not illuminate too far.
He turned around and looked at the three of them: “Although there are three holes here, we definitely can’t walk separately, that’s very dangerous.”
Lu Fei Yue nodded in agreement and stepped on the boulder.
“We can explore each hole once, only check until halfway, there will definitely be traces if someone has walked through it.”
Seeing that the duo were checking out the holes, Li Ruo Shui pushed Lu Zhi Yao back a little and patted him on the shoulder.
“You wait here for a while, and I’ll go take a look with them.”
In the original novel, the two protagonists did not take this path when they caught the kidnapping gang, it was also out of her expectation that they fell down to the hole.
If no bandit was found this time, and Lu Zhi Yao lost interest on the way, she had no doubt that her blood would be splattered on the spot.
Li Ruo Shui just stepped forward, but the next moment Lu Zhi Yao grabbed her collar and pulled her back to the shore.
“Go this way.”
He pointed to the third hole.
Lu Fei Yue also went to have a look at the third hole, then turned to look at him: “Why?”
“Because of the sound of water.”
Lu Fei Yue and Jiang Nian did not doubt his ears at all. After all, he was the one who could find out the internal location of the mechanism.
The duo looked at each other then nodded to Li Ruo Shui: “Then let’s go and have a look first.”
Li Ruo Shui asked him to let go of her, and took the first big step onto the stone. The icy cold river water spread over her feet, soaking her shoes and socks, bringing a stinging chill.

Li Ruo Shui shuddered, and then stepped on the water with her feet to indicate position for him, for fear that he would not be able to get over.
“Step over here, can you identify the location?”
Under the green fluorescence light, his face was not very clear, but she could still see a smile on his face.
“Yes.” He took a step forward without hesitation and reached the edge of the river.
“One more step and you’ll fall into the river.” Li Ruo Shui held up the fluorite to have a look, and called out to him in a panic: “Give me your hand, I’ll pull you.”
Li Ruo Shui subconsciously forgot that this was the world of martial arts, and none of them needed her to worry about their abilities to step on the stones.
Lu Zhi Yao hung the sword on his body, stretched out his hand forward, and then he was grabbed by a touch of warmth on his fingertips.
“You jump a little in this direction, so that you don’t fall into the water.”
So such was the feeling of being grabbed by someone.
Lu Zhi Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, listening to the sound of the water flow and jumped in front of Li Ruo Shui.
The two of them collided face-to-face, Li Ruo Shui quickly held his waist to stabilise his body, and then went into the hole with her arms wrapping around his waist.
“Hurry up, else we won’t be able to catch up with them later. It’s so dark and cold here, we can’t be the only two left.”
The touch on the waist was extremely clear for him, the smile at the corner of Lu Zhi Yao’s mouth suddenly froze, and his walking seemed a little unnatural.
It was too close, no one had ever been this close to him.
Everyone else either hated him or were afraid of him, no one would approach him in a protective manner.
So—
Should he break her wrist or cut her neck vein now?

He did not know if Li Ruo Shui would be hot when she was about to be killed by him, and if the heartbeat would speed up, bringing some different rhythm to this cold underground.
There was some pleasure.
Lu Zhi Yao chuckled softly, put his right hand on the scabbard, took a deep breath to calm down his trembling hand —
“Be careful!”
He was pulled by Li Ruo Shui, they fell to the stone wall, and he was buried in the cotton-like warmth and softness.
