His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 88: Must Return Alive

Yu Qing Qian’s word struck Huo Li Ruo’s heart hard. He didn’t expect her to be so determined in her pursuit of becoming one of the strong.

“To pursue strength, you can even potentially lose your life for it?” He still disagreed with her going into the river.

Yu Qing Qian tilted her head and smiled: “I never do anything I’m not certain about. The things born below give me an urgent desire. No matter how dangerous it is, I don’t want to let it go.”

The wood-class combat variant ability in her body was screaming like it was given a stimulant. She could conclude that there must be something under the river that could enhance her variant abilities.

So, no matter how dangerous it was, she would still go down.

Of course she wasn’t rushing down blindly. She was still confident in saving her own life.

“Then I’ll go with you.” Huo Li Ruo clenched his fists and pressed his lips tightly together.

Yu Qing Qian reached out and patted his shoulder, “You stay on the shore with them, otherwise you’ll only drag me down if you go.”

Huo Li Ruo’s talent and strength were indeed good, but he only contracted a spiritual plant after coming to the Academy and his time spent cultivating was too short. His combat power was still inferior, and if he went down, he’d really drag her down.

She didn’t care about other people’s lives, but Huo Li Ruo and the others weren’t people she wouldn’t save.

“Woman, you underestimate me too much.” Huo Li Ruo’s eyes flashed with slight anger.

It wasn’t because of Yu Qing Qian’s blow that made him angry. What made him angry was why he was so weak.

For the first time since childhood, he deeply realised that he was too weak. His desire to pursue the strong suddenly burst and overflowed, and he wanted to be stronger like never before.

“It’s not that I underestimate you, but it’s for your own good.” Yu Qing Qian guessed what Huo Li Ruo was thinking, “You have good talent and strength. After you return and refine the crystal cores, you’ll make a qualitative leap after training for a period of time. We’ll definitely be able to go together next time.”

Her words weren’t purely for comfort, but she was really optimistic about Huo Li Ruo.

In the Academy, Huo Li Ruo was the most talented person with the best potential she had ever seen besides Feng Chen.

“Then you must return alive.” Huo Li Ruo pressed his lips tighter, knowing that Yu Qing Qian wouldn’t change her decision.

Yu Qing Qian chuckled: “Don’t worry, I may not care about anything else, except life.”

Those who had died once would appreciate the value of life more.

Huo Li Ruo sighed and said no more.

After learning about Yu Qing Qian’s decision, Xie Shu three wanted to stop her, but she rejected their kindness. The three of them could only sigh, hoping in their hearts that she would return safely.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

Suddenly, the entire river surface fluctuated, forming small whirlpools and rapids surged.

Dozens of magical beasts that had not moved on the other side stood up in unison, ready to jump into the river at any time.

The students present looked at the changes in the river, having the heart but no energy, and could only hope that there were no rare treasures at the bottom of the river that they could use.

Qin Feng Yi’s face was pale, her entire body was trembling in pain, and there was still a sharp tooth from a magical beast stuck on her shoulder blade.

The instructors didn’t dare pull it out, fearing that she’d bleed out too much, or that her arm would be completely useless after pulling it out.

They just told her to seek help from her clan as soon as possible after returning, to find spiritual medicine to heal her injuries, and not leave too many hidden dangers behind.

She looked at the backs of Huo Li Ruo and Yu Qing Qian standing side by side by the river, her face twisted and hideous with pain.

The group of students sat on the ground to rest and were constantly paying attention to the movements in the river.

Suddenly, Yu Qing Qian, who was still standing on the shore, tapped her toes and jumped into the river with a light leap.
