Chapter 397: Chapter 397: The Man Who Fell from the Sky
Thunder roared ceaselessly, and lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating a fleeting moment before plunging back into darkness.
Qin Youxuan gritted her teeth, reaching into her pocket, only to find it empty…
Her phone was left in the villa.
The large rock on which she stood trembled under the impact of the mudslide, on the verge of giving way.
Could she be fated to die here today?
No, it couldn’t be.
Dan Hanjie would definitely come to rescue her, and she had to find a way to wait.
Qin Youxuan disregarded her scraped arm and climbed upon the rock. Using the brief illumination provided by the lightning, she quickly scoped out her surroundings.
The mudslide flowed down the slope, past the rock she was standing on, to a cliff several hundred meters away. That cliff was where she had climbed. It was very steep, with only a small path carved out for climbing.
But in her current condition, she couldn’t see it at all.
Even if she could, under the onslaught of the mudslide, that narrow path probably no longer existed.
She had to find another place to settle before the large rock was swept into the cliff.
“Stay calm. You can do it…”
Qin Youxuan continuously cheered for herself, forcing herself to remain calm.
She treated the situation in front of her as a wild survival challenge.
In the end, Qin Youxuan finally spotted a small patch of land near the edge of the cliff that was untouched by the mudslide.
As long as she could manage to jump onto it, she would be safe…
Once she made up her mind, the shaking of the large rock no longer seemed so terrifying. She firmly held onto it, stabilizing her balance.
When the large rock was carried by the mudslide, she seized the moment, mustering all her strength to plunge toward the only empty space.
“Ah??”
Her body took flight and at the critical moment, she clung tightly to the edge of the cliff. But with inertia at play, her body continued to roll downwards.
Her left hand failed to catch, and the full weight of her body bore down on her right hand in an instant.
Qin Youxuan gritted her teeth, tried several times to climb, but her left arm was powerless, failing to reach the cliff edge.
Her single hand could not support the weight of her body and was sliding downwards, bit by bit…
Below were jagged rocks. The turbulent mudslide surged against the rocks, generating a frightening sound.
As Qin Youxuan’s hand slipped, and her body took flight, the charming face of Dan Hanjie suddenly surfaced in her mind; his devilish smile seemed so close…
Dan Hanjie, where are you?
“Hold onto my hand!”
A deep voice exploded in her ears, and her hand was abruptly held up strongly, then pulled upwards.
Qin Youxuan jolted, quickly raising her head.
In the darkness, she could only vaguely discern the outline of the man. His unfamiliar aura instantly told her this was not Dan Hanjie.
“What are you thinking about? Don’t you care about your life?”
“…”
The instinct to survive compelled Qin Youxuan to cling to his hand, and with the man’s strength, she managed to climb up.
“Bang??”
The moment she climbed onto the cliff, Qin Youxuan, still scared out of her wits, collapsed on the ground. Her bright cat-like eyes stared fixedly at the man who appeared out of nowhere.
His long coat was unbuttoned, its hem fluttering in the wind.
He was tall with slender legs donned in black trousers. The weighty metallic feel of his boots was hardly unnoticeable.
His oblique long black hair obscurely covered half of his face, Qin Youxuan could only make out the general outline of his face under the weak light…
