It was obviously a bottomless abyss if seen from the top of the cliff. But when they actually reached the bottom, it was completely like another world facing a different sky. After a while, a few strands of light penetrated the thick fog and shined down. Although it was unscientific, it still had the effect of warming their bodies up. Otherwise, they would not have been able to survive in such a low-temperature and humid place. Not to mention that both of them were injured and disabled.
Such an amazing coincidence.
Fu Yichen turned his head to observe the situation around him roughly. The unexplored jungle around them was full of damp air. It was unknown whether it was caused by fog or temperature-generated water vapor. It covered the cliff’s bottom and areas further than 10 meters couldn’t be seen. In addition, the trees were full of vines that crisscrossed around the trees and covered the sky.
Fu Yichen’s heart sank after looking at this scene. This showed that not only did they not have a way to go, but they were also unable to tell any direction. At that moment, he felt a little dumbfounded. ‘Everything in front was filled with fog and nothing could be seen. There were nasty-looking plants everywhere on the ground and Zi Mengyao tripped every two steps…’ This was the description of the bottom of the cliff narrated in the original text. Fu Yichen just wanted to say that the situation he was currently facing was a bit more severe than the author’s original description. He couldn’t help but want to admire his surroundings.
But Fu Yichen couldn’t help but feel an oncoming headache when he thought about their current situation, especially regarding Leng Qianshang’s condition. Although Fu Yichen’s hand was a bit bloody, he was actually fine. Except for the little bit of pain he felt when he moved, there was no other problem. But Leng Qianshang on the other hand was not in a good condition. Not to mention his badly broken leg, he still hadn’t woken up yet.
Fu Yichen raised his right hand which was still tightly grasped and something flashed in his heart. He lightly tapped the other person’s face and called, “Qian Wang, wake up. Leng Qianshang?”
There was no response, so Fu Yichen tried to free his right hand again. He still failed. It wasn’t that Fu Yichen was indifferent and didn’t care about others. In fact, when Leng Qianshang and Zi Mengyao fell in the original text, Leng Qianshang also broke his leg. Probably to show the Male Lead’s desperation when they fell and how he was willing to be the Female Lead’s meat pad. So the Female Lead was intact when they fell but the Male Lead broke his legs. Of course, as per Mary Sue plots, no matter how severe the wounds were, they could be healed later on.
Afterward, the Female Lead disregarded her initial dislike toward Leng Qianshang and looked after him who couldn’t move. In this difficult and nonsense-filled process of survival in the wilderness, the Male Lead cleared up his intentions toward the Female Lead. In other words, his feelings deepened.
Therefore, Leng Qianshang’s injury wasn’t a big surprise for Fu Yichen. But he didn’t break his leg by being a meat pad for Fu Yichen. If he really did become a meat pad for him, not only would he break his leg but it would’ve been completely disabled considering Fu Yichen’s physique.
“Qian Wang?” Fu Yichen patted his face once more. Leng Qianshang’s face was immediately stained with blood. Because the blood was a little coagulated, it looked a bit like mud. Fu Yichen then yelled, “Leng Qianshang? Wake up!”
“Wake up!” tap once and shout once. Compared to the original scene when the Female Lead woke up and saw Leng Qianshang like this, Fu Yichen was much calmer because he knew that Leng Qianshang just fell into a coma.
After calling and calling, an uncontrollable thought suddenly popped into Fu Yichen’s mind. The system had very firmly told him that there was no second system in this world. So apart from him, there was no second person that came from the real world. But Fu Yichen had always been haunted by the fact that the Male Lead had Su Zhan’s face. But the system has never let him ask about the matter.
Now Leng Qianshang was in a coma and there were no outsiders present. No matter how powerful Su Zhan’s name was, even if he doesn’t get a response still it shouldn’t make a big impact on the people of this world, right? Thinking of this, Fu Yichen’s heart moved. He patted the other person’s face and said in a low voice, “Su Zhan? Su Zhan, wake up…”
“*Rumble~*”
Fu Yichen suddenly heard a loud bang and at the same time, his body collapsed uncontrollably due to dizziness. The earth and the mountains shook as if there was an earthquake.
At the same time, the system that was in his mind began screaming.
[Ah, earthquake! The Mary Sue world is about to collapse!]
[Run, host!]
[What are you doing, host!]
……
Fu Yichen didn’t have any time to pay attention to it. At the same time as when the mountains shook, large cracks appeared on the ground. Fu Yichen’s mind was buzzing in shock. He quickly grabbed Leng Qianshang and flashed away from the crack.
But at this moment, Fu Yichen noticed an abnormality with the body in his arms. He saw that Leng Qianshang’s body became a little transparent. Fu Yichen was shocked for a while but then the transparent body began to materialise again. This happened over and over again like his body was flickering.
Fu Yichen immediately regretted his actions until his bowels were blue. He never expected that Su Zhan’s name would be that powerful. If nothing else, the Mary Sue plot was halfway through. How could he be reconciled if it all turned into waste like this?
Fu Yichen hugged Leng Qianshang and avoided a few cracks on the ground. Soon after, the swaying mountains gradually stabilised and the cracks on the ground no longer appeared. Slowly everything returned back to normal.
When Fu Yichen lowered his head, he saw that the person that was in his arms had stopped flickering. Fu Yichen, who was still in disarray, breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. Although everything around them looked like a post-disaster scene, it could be seen that they were still at the bottom of the cliff. That is to say, they were still in the Mary Sue world.
Fu Yichen hurriedly released the system that was crying like a ghost in his mind, ‘What’s going on? What happened just now?!’ It was also because Fu Yichen was very anxious that he didn’t notice the slight movement of the eyelashes of the person in his arms.
[Host!] The system that held back a lot of scolding was abruptly choked by Fu Yichen’s sentence, [How many times have I told you. You can’t mention it directly. Male God Su is on the tip of the hearts of every boy and girl in the real world. Those shameless things like to YY the Male God. So Male God Su can heavily affect the illusory Mary Sue world. Host…]
‘Okay, I understand now.’ Fu Yichen interrupted Laji in a timely manner. He still had some lingering fears when he thought about the picture just now, ‘Is everything alright now?’
[The Mary Sue world shows no signs of collapse. But the current world is unstable. Host, you must never mention the previous matter again…] The system’s heartbroken tone inexplicably made Fu Yichen feel a little guilty.
Fortunately, his actions weren’t in vain. Fu Yichen let out a sigh of relief. While he was talking to the system in his head, his body subconsciously walked towards a levelled area with Leng Qianshang in his arms. Immediately, Fu Yichen recovered and thought of a key question.
‘Laji, can you see the favorability of the Female Lead and the Third Male?’ The first thing that Fu Yichen thought of when he recovered was the condition of the Female Lead and the Third Male. If the Female Lead is nearby, then the Male and Female Lead may still meet. Which meant that the plot that he’s been trying to prevent might still happen. Then his big sacrifice would all be in vain.
As the system can’t sense favorability beyond a certain distance then he can use this point to verify the distance between the Female Lead and them. At least this can ensure that the Male and Female Lead wouldn’t bump into each other.
[Can’t.] The system was a little indignant, [Host, don’t call me Laji. The Mary Sue reversal system is not garbage.]
‘Shield.’ Fu Yichen completely ignored the system and was relieved to know that the Female Lead was not nearby.
It was also at this time that Fu Yichen had the time to look at the comatose person in his arms. He had intended to put him down, but was startled by what he saw. As Fu Yichen lowered his eyes, he met Leng Qianshang’s pair of blue shining and beautiful eyes.
Fu Yichen’s scalp involuntarily became numb. But he quickly recovered his expression. A rare smile tugged on the corners of Xuanyuan Canye’s mouth, “You’re awake.”
The body in his arms froze without a trace. Fu Yichen didn’t know that the other person had woken up when he was talking with the system in his mind. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be as calm as he was now.
“Hm.” ‘Woke up, just woke up.’ Su Zhan was still dazed at the moment.
His head was unprecedentedly sluggish when he woke up. His leg was broken as he had expected. But why was he in someone’s arms when he opened his eyes?
As a timid and pure zero, it was not that he didn’t secretly fantasise about such things. A man with a handsome face, aggressive aura and strong arms. Hugging him in such a posture and throwing him onto the bed… or something… But Su Zhan’s dull mind was still thinking. He couldn’t understand why the person that was holding him was Xuanyuan Canye. A fake character in the novel and his mortal enemy. What’s going on now?
So, Su Zhan pretended to be dead. He looked up and saw the other person’s Adam’s apple rolling. His steps were steady and his eyes looked straight ahead. He was holding such a big man like him without blushing or panting. If there was such a person like this in reality, how great would it be…
Su Zhan’s mind habitually wandered around. But in the next second, his eyes met with a pair of golden eyes. Against the bright light from the sky, these eyes were simply as dazzling as the sun. Especially at this moment when there was a smile on the face that had always been cold… So handsome! Su Zhan’s gay heart which had been blocked for so many years, instantly became restless. He couldn’t control it at all. The other person was simply a fatal temptation.
So in a daze, Su Zhan hummed in response. After he did that, he realised that he was currently the waste prince and the one holding him was the supreme emperor. Su Zhan’s eyes widened suddenly and his body began to struggle before his brain could even catch up, “Your Majesty, please forgive one’s offence. Chen1 deserves a thousand deaths.”
Fu Yichen saw Leng Qianshang expressionlessly humming and was surprised that the other person was no longer pretending. He saw his eyes suddenly widen and he hurriedly struggled to get up. Immediately Fu Yichen felt a little puzzled. But he still followed along with him and released the hand that was under the other person’s knees.
“*Hiss~*” Fu Yichen had placed his feet down very carefully. But as soon as Leng Qianshang’s feet touched the ground, he gasped in pain and at the same time his body uncontrollably softened. Fu Yichen hurriedly helped him sit down.
As a result, after releasing his hand that was on the other person’s knees. Fu Yichen realised that their hands were still tightly held together. The corners of Fu Yichen’s mouth unknowingly hung up into a small smile and his eyes moved from their clenched hands to Leng Qianshang’s face, “Qian Wang might as well let go of Zhen’s hand first. Or Zhen won’t be able to help you bandage your wounds.”
At that moment, Su Zhan’s face exploded in a blush and his icy body warmed up in an instant. Su Zhan couldn’t wait to shove himself into a big crack on the ground and bury himself.
He hurriedly let go. But because he held it too long, his hand was a little stiff. So the more he wanted to let go, the more he couldn’t. Su Zhan was so embarrassed that he wanted to chop off his own hand.
Fu Yichen stretched out his other hand in a funny manner and broke his fingers apart. But he couldn’t help but blurt out his previous thoughts, “Qian Wangfei, she…” The implication was, why weren’t you able to hold onto her?
Su Zhan’s face immediately turned black. His heart was inexplicably blocked and the anger in his heart couldn’t be pressed down or released. So he just said coldly, “Many thanks, Your Majesty, for your concern. Chen will go and find her.”
In fact, Su Zhan didn’t know what he was thinking at that time. Why did he let go of that hand? Probably because he knew that she wouldn’t die? On one hand, Su Zhan was shocked by the appearance of Xuanyuan Canye at that time who was on his mind. On the other hand, the two below him were making him disgusted. In such a situation, his physical and psychological fears were simply uncontrollable. In that moment, he could clearly feel Xuanyuan Canye’s body shaking because of the strain while holding onto him. No one could support such a heavy weight. So when the Female Lead had swung the furthest she could go, he just let go of her hand. Su Zhan now thinks that his actions were just… unexplainable.
Fu Yichen just raised his eyebrows and didn’t speak. He got up, tore two pieces of cloth from his inner jacked, squatted down to treat Leng Qianshang’s injured leg and said, “Zhen can only do a simple wrap for you. Once this matter is done, Zhen will let the imperial doctor take a good look at your wounds.”
Su Zhan felt an unexpected warmth in his heart. But just as he was about to ask why this person appeared here, he looked up and saw Fu Yichen’s bloody hand. His heart suddenly jumped. The words that came out of his mouth turned into, “What’s going on with your hand?”
Oh~ He even forgot to use formality.
