Hu Changshou held Bai Xu’s hand tightly. He saw that Bai Xu’s lips were quickly turning purple and her body was trembling uncontrollably. He knew that this pool of water was abnormally cold.

Bai Xu’s cultivation was not low, but she could not withstand the cold. This meant that the water in the pool was abnormal.

Hu Changshou’s heart ached. He was in a dilemma.

Bai Xu sensed that he was conflicted. She spoke first. “Hu Changshou, what are you doing? Were you lying when you said you liked me in the past? I came to save you. I’m not even afraid of death to save you, and you’re giving me this attitude?”

Bai Xu was unhappy when he saw Hu Changshou’s bitter expression. She had a bad temper to begin with, and her series of questions made Hu Changshou unable to withstand it.

Hu Changshou shook his head almost instantly. “It’s not fake. I…”

Hu Changshou felt pain in his heart and stopped talking. He didn’t know how to say it. He couldn’t say it.

He had fantasized about Bai Xu revealing her feelings to him many times, but he never expected such a scene.

Under such circumstances, he even needed to stab the knife into Bai Xu’s chest a moment later. He could not imagine what would happen to Bai Xu.

“If it’s not fake, then what is it? Tell me, Hu Changshou. You know that I hate it when people lie to me the most. What can’t you tell me? If you hide it like this, what’s the point of saying that you like me?”

Bai Xu could tell that Hu Changshou was hiding something from her. She was someone who would pursue the matter to the end. She had to get to the bottom of it. Ever since she came to her senses, she was no longer willing to do anything foolish.

If she refused to say anything, then she would rather not leave together. Whether they lived or died, they had nothing to do with each other.

However, Hu Changshou had clearly said that he liked her. She had responded. He had not done what she wanted. She would not stop until she asked for an answer.

“Miss Bai Xu, I don’t know what to say. Can we pick the lotus flower first? If we can escape unscathed this time, I’ll explain it to you.” Hu Changshou lowered his eyes and avoided Bai Xu’s gaze.

Bai Xu sneered. “Are you afraid of death?”

Without waiting for Hu Changshou to answer, Bai Xu let go of his hand.

When Bai Xu let go, Hu Changshou was shocked. He subconsciously grabbed it, but Bai Xu dodged and sank into the water.

Hu Changshou’s heart was about to jump out of his chest. Without hesitation, he dived into the water and swam towards Bai Xu.

Bai Xu’s cold body stiffened. She only warmed up after being hugged by Hu Changshou. She looked at Hu Changshou underwater.

She said, “Hu Changshou, I’m not afraid of death.”

With the treasure Su Xiaolu had given her, she could breathe and speak freely underwater.

Hu Changshou couldn’t say it, but his eyes widened in surprise.

Bai Xu continued, “Listen to me. She’s Su Xiaolu. You haven’t seen her for too many years, so you might not have recognized her. She gave me medicine that can cure all poisons. The poison Grandma asked me to take is useless. I still have the antidote here. If Grandma fed you the poison, take it now.”

“Grandma is ruthless. She hates men the most. She has controlled me since I was young. It’s impossible for her to let me go when I’m out of her control. It’s even more impossible for her to want to see us together. She must have used some tricks to achieve her goal of separating us. However, I want to be with you. We have to live. Neither of us will die.”

Bai Xu looked at Hu Changshou and said word by word.

Hu Changshou’s heart was beating violently. He held his breath. He did not know if it was because he was suffocating or because he liked Bai Xu too much. At this moment, he had a strong urge to hug Bai Xu tightly and kiss her.

He did do that, but Bai Xu kissed him first to help him breathe.

Hu Changshou hugged Bai Xu very tightly.

When they finally let go, Hu Changshou transferred the Flame Fruit into Bai Xu’s mouth.

Bai Xu sent the antidote into Hu Changshou’s mouth. Hu Changshou swallowed it and held Bai Xu’s hand tightly. Bai Xu was right. They both had to live.

Bai Xu smiled. She knew that she had not chosen the wrong person. If Hu Changshou cared about her, he would not put her in danger.

If he didn’t mean it, why would he risk his life to save her?

Bai Xu could roughly guess what Grandma would do. If not for Su Xiaolu, Grandma might have had her wish in the end.

However, they were lucky. With the divine doctor Su Xiaolu around, there was no poison that could not be cured. She even had treasures that could allow them to swim and breathe underwater.

They did not want to be separated by life and death. They wanted to be together forever.

Bai Xu pulled Hu Changshou and swam towards the lotus flower. On the surface of the water, she could not see what was under the water, but under the water, she could see. It turned out that there was more than one lotus flower and many had yet to blossom.

Bai Xu would not let Bai Liu obtain such a treasure. They kissed to breathe underwater. When they reached the lotus flower, Bai Xu said to Hu Changshou, “Hu Changshou, let’s eat it. We have to go ashore quickly. If we join forces, we will definitely win.”

“Grandma has done many evil things over the years. She’s not worthy of cultivating.”

Bai Xu knew that in order to avoid future trouble, she had to get rid of Bai Liu. She did not owe Bai Liu anything. She remembered that insignificant affection, but Bai Liu had never missed it. Hence, if there was a chance, she would not let her off.

Hu Changshou nodded. Since he was not afraid of poison, he did not have any worries. He wanted to be with Bai Xu.

On the shore, Bai Liu was already panicking.

Hu Changshou and Bai Xu suddenly sank into the water and did not come up for a long time. She could not hold it in anymore. She walked to the side and a bone-chilling coldness crawled up her feet.

Such coldness made people retreat.

Bai Liu gritted her teeth and turned around to see Su Xiaolu smiling. She was not in a hurry at all. How could Bai Liu not know? She gritted her teeth and said, “It’s you. You ruined my plan.”

Su Xiaolu clicked her tongue. “Old witch, you’re really backward and pedantic. What era are we in now? You’re still thinking of making them part by life and death. You were hurt by love and hate men to death, but you couldn’t bear to see others being in love. You insisted on setting some tests to break them up. They’re my friends. What’s wrong with me not letting you have your way?”

Apart from setting up the array formation, they naturally had a plan for what Bai Liu would do.

Hu Changshou had said that he liked Bai Xu, so Bai Xu would not leave him alone if she had him in her heart.

Who was Bai Liu? What could she do? She had guessed all kinds of expectations. Anyway, no matter what Bai Liu did, she could not avoid the cliché.

Creating a misunderstanding and separating them.

Poisoning was really a cliché that could never be avoided.

The antidote was ready.

Therefore, was Bai Liu playing them, or were they playing Bai Liu?

Bai Liu was so angry that the wrinkles on her face trembled. Her voice was sinister. “You deserve to die!”

She did not expect that the show she had deliberately prepared would be ruined by Su Xiaolu.

Bai Liu attacked Su Xiaolu. She released all her pressure and her aura pressured over. She no longer had any rationality left. She only had the anger of being teased by Su Xiaolu.. This anger made her determined to kill Su Xiaolu to vent her hatred!
