“But still very awesome.” Huo Chen also heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

After saying this, he looked around and spotted Chi Jiao, who was still on the ground.

Her sleeping form looked exceptionally charming. Her long eyelashes cast a small shadow below her eyes, making her look like a doll.

Huo Chen’s heart skipped a beat as he watched Quan Jue walk over.

Quan Jue looked like he was handling the world’s most precious treasure as he lifted Chi Jiao and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Chi Jiao seemed to have sensed his presence. She snorted softly and called out to him, “Brother Quan…”

“I’m here.” Quan Jue hugged her tightly as if declaring his ownership of her. He glanced at Huo Chen. “Officer Huo, thank you for your efforts. Let’s leave now.”

Huo Chen didn’t have any supernatural powers. He wasn’t of much help just now.

With a bitter smile, he nodded and followed Quan Jue.

After about 10 minutes, the five of them finally emerged from the cave.

It was already past three in the afternoon. Everyone left the cave and found a safe meadow. They washed their hands and faces by the river. Finally able to relax a little, they had some food.

Chi Jiao was still sleeping soundly as if she had no intention of waking up.

Everyone was feeling helpless. After eating, they carried Chi Jiao down the mountain.

By the time everyone descended the mountain, it was already sunset.

Along the way, Chi Jiao, who was sleeping soundly on Quan Jue’s shoulder, snorted and opened her eyes.

Smelling Quan Jue’s pleasant scent, Chi Jiao couldn’t help feeling relieved. She stretched.

“Jiaojiao, you’re awake!” Pei Yao cried out as she patted Beitang Lie and jumped down from his arms; Beitang Lie had been carrying her all the way down the mountain. She came to Chi Jiao’s side and asked in concern, “How are you feeling? Any discomfort?”

“I’m fine.” With that, Chi Jiao raised her hand and looked at the stone she was clutching tightly in her hand.

“You fainted after grabbing this stone in the cave.” Huo Chen gave a brief explanation about what had happened.

Chi Jiao didn’t expect that everyone would encounter such a dangerous situation while she was unconscious. She said guiltily, “I’m sorry, I didn’t help at all.”

“As long as you are fine. Are you still feeling ill?” Quan Jue put her down and reached out to touch her little face.

Chi Jiao smiled brightly and shook her head. “I’m fine now.”

With that, she relaxed her grip on the stone. She realized that she had been using too much strength. When she relaxed, she realized that her entire arm was sore.

“Boss, you seem to really like this stone,” Beitang Lie said.

“I don’t know why, but I feel very happy after obtaining this stone. Brother Quan, leave this stone with me to safeguard it for now. Tomorrow morning, we will leave Feng Tong Village.” Chi Jiao suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement and hurried to reach Feng Tong Village before the sky turned dark.

When they returned, Little Xiu had already prepared dinner.

During dinner, Ah Ping also asked everyone how their day was on the mountain.

Everyone only said that they had gone sightseeing and were tired out by all the trekking. After dinner, they hurriedly washed up and returned to their rooms to rest.

It was a night without any dreams. The next morning, Huo Chen was woken up by the sound of someone knocking on the wall.

Huo Zhan opened his eyes in a daze and saw Beitang Lie, who was supposed to be sleeping, knocking his head against the wall of the room.
