Chapter 61 Is She Infatuated with Me?

Qinghe handed Jiang Li another rabbit leg. Jiang Li took a big bite, responding to Ye Chen’s words as she ate. “Yeah, okay, I got it.” She wasn’t a stranger to the Sana River, so she knew the general situation. The next day, as soon as the sun peeked out, Jiang Li, eager to leave, quickly packed her things. The three of them had played until late last night, and Ye Chen and Qinghe had both had a lot to drink. She had planned to tell the doctor to pass on the message that she was leaving to Ye Chen and Qinghe, but as she stepped out the door, she saw them squatting on the ground, their backs to her, their chins in their hands. “Ye Chen? Qinghe?

” Hearing Jiang Li’s questioning voice, the two turned their heads together. They had stayed up late last night and gotten up early this morning, leaving their eyes dark and lacking any energy. “Jiang Li, are you all packed?” Ye Chen stood up, smiling at her. Jiang Li nodded. She didn’t have much to pack, and after washing her face with water, she was ready to leave. “

Why are you squatting here?” “We’re here to see you off,” Qinghe stood up and gave Jiang Li a simple smile. Jiang Li was slightly taken aback. “Thank you for your kindness, but you didn’t get much rest yesterday, you should go back and get some more sleep.”

“No rush, we have time to see you off.” Ye Chen took a bow and arrow from behind his back and handed it to Jiang Li. “This is for you.” Jiang Li took the bow and arrow from him and examined it carefully, realizing it was the same one she had used yesterday. “Why are you giving me this?” “To protect yourself. You’re going to be passing through the Sana River, and this will help you avoid getting hurt.” Jiang Li snorted softly, raising an eyebrow at Ye Chen.

 “Don’t think that giving me this will make me forgive you for getting me hurt. After I take care of my own business, I’ll definitely come back to settle the score with you.” With that, she turned around without hesitation and walked forward, waving her arm behind her. “Goodbye.” Jiang Li’s figure grew farther and farther away from them, and she never turned her head to look back during that short distance. Until finally, she became a small black dot that they could no longer see.

Seeing Ye Chen slightly raise the corners of his lips, revealing a smile, and standing in place, looking in the direction Jiang Li had left, Qinghe slowly approached him and asked in a low voice, “Ye Chen, what are you smiling about? She’s gone, you can’t see her anymore.” Ye Chen didn’t pay attention to Qinghe’s words, still staring blankly in the direction Jiang Li had left, his smile even more unrestrained than before. “Qinghe, did she just say she was smitten with me?

” “Ah… ah?” Qinghe was stunned by his words. “Ye Chen, you must have heard wrong, she clearly said she was coming back to settle the score with you.” “Yes! That’s right! She said she was coming back to settle the score with me, the deeper meaning is that she was captivated by my handsome appearance yesterday and my thoughtfulness just now, and she’ll come back to find me after she’s done with her business.” Qinghe pouted, half-closing his eyes, looking at Ye Chen with utter disbelief. He was really defeated by this unique train of thought!

 With Ye Chen’s teaching from last night, plus the map, Jiang Li finally found the right location this time. She flew into the bushes, transforming into her human form. After carefully examining the surroundings and finding no abnormalities, she quickly jumped into the Sana River. Because of the Junyue Lan Jiaozhu in her body, Jiang Li could breathe freely in the water just like she could on land. She didn’t have time to think, relying on the path the Starfish Elder had taken her out of before, she returned. Occasionally, when she encountered patrolling shrimp soldiers and crab generals, Jiang Li hid behind the coral, waiting for them to pass before daring to continue her journey. She arrived at the cave where they had lived before. There was no trace of life left inside.

 Only the faint traces of blood on the walls could prove that they had indeed fought there before. Jiang Li wandered around the cave for a while, but she didn’t find any familiar figures. She decided to go to Junyue Lan’s residence to see. Perhaps because of the fight, the closer she got to Junyue Lan’s residence, the more patrolling shrimp soldiers and crab generals there were. Jiang Li was anxious, dodging and hiding. If she hadn’t reacted quickly, she would have been discovered by them. But when she arrived at Junyue Lan’s residence and saw that it was clean and tidy, the flame of hope in her heart was extinguished like the waves of the Sana River.

 She didn’t find Junyue Lan here either. It was as if it had been deliberately cleaned, without a trace of Junyue Lan’s presence. Many emotions surged through Jiang Li’s heart. Unease, confusion, anxiety… She had come all the way from the cave, and she hadn’t seen Junyue Lan, not even a shadow of Xiao Jie or Xiao Gui. Were they still imprisoned?

Jiang Li clenched her fists slightly. The fear and unease in her heart grew stronger. She was afraid that something had happened to Junyue Lan and the others, afraid that they were being subjected to inhumane treatment inside. But even so, what could she do? Where could she go to find them? She only knew two places, she hadn’t been anywhere else, she didn’t even know where the Starfish Elder’s residence was.

This vast Sana River was full of danger everywhere. What should she do next, lost and confused? Jiang Li lowered her head and bit her lower lip hard. She had finally come here, thinking she could see Junyue Lan and the others. She was even confident that she could rescue them.

But when she got here, it wasn’t like that. She didn’t even know who to ask about Junyue Lan. Even if she secretly abducted a patrol member, they were trained, and they had a simple level of alertness, they would quickly realize that someone was missing from their team. By then, she wouldn’t have found Junyue Lan, and she would have gotten herself involved. This was the first time she felt so helpless. She had come here impulsively, but she wasn’t willing to leave without any results. She had also promised Jun Rui that she would bring his father back.

“Xiao Jie, you should eat something, you can’t keep going like this.” “I don’t want to eat, I have no appetite.” “But you can’t stay here like this, it’s not a solution.” “I want to stay here, this is where I have memories with him.” “Sigh!”

 A familiar conversation came from behind the shell bed not far away. This was like a light in the darkness for Jiang Li, who was still confused. She widened her eyes, unable to contain her excitement, her body trembled slightly. She quickly swam towards the source of the sound. Sure enough, she was right. Xiao Jie and Xiao Gui, their small bodies huddled behind the shell bed.

 Xiao Jie looked dejected, as if his energy had been sucked out. Xiao Gui kept sighing. When she saw the two familiar figures, excitement flashed in Jiang Li’s eyes. Her lips were slightly pursed, she was about to greet them, but she was taken aback by Xiao Gui’s following words.
