The Indifferent Young Master's Flash Marriage

Chapter 688 - Priceless Treasure

Chapter 688: Priceless Treasure

Due to the exhaustion of his physical strength, coupled with the lack of oxygen supply for too long under the water, Jiang Xuecheng’s face had already turned pale.

Obviously, his physical condition was also approaching its limit.

He gritted his teeth and tried to climb up the river bank beside him. However, in order to throw Su Wan to the shore, his body was already unable to bear the burden!

After a futile struggle, Jiang Xuecheng’s entire body fell down into the waterfall!

The waves formed by the waterfall came menacingly and hit Jiang Xuecheng in the face.

The flowing waterfall and the steep stone wall collided with each other, creating a sky full of water splashes. It was like a brocade woven by a goddess floating down, shining with thousands of silver rays.

The strong gravity pressed down on Jiang Xuecheng. His entire body fell down along with the waterfall.

Although Jiang Xuecheng’s body was covered in a lot of mud and his hair was messy, he was still indescribably handsome in his sorry state.

Was he going to die?

The sound of flowing water filled his ears. The sun was shining brightly, shining on Jiang Xuecheng’s body through the sparkling water.

Jiang Xuecheng coughed twice and spat out several mouthfuls of muddy water.

This man was a germaphobe. Even when he was in danger, he could not tolerate swallowing muddy water.

At this moment, compared to death, the first thought that came to his mind was not fear, but overwhelming joy.

Fortunately, the person who fell was not Su Wan!

Jiang Xuecheng’s face was pale. After a moment of weightlessness, his sharp eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a horizontal tree two meters away!

The tree seemed to have grown out from between the cliffs. Although the location of the tree was not good, it lacked both sunlight and soil, so it was obviously not nutritious enough.

However, judging from the thickness of the branches, it should not be a problem for it to hold an adult man with a balanced weight like him for a short period of time!

After this idea popped up in his mind, Jiang Xuecheng made a prompt decision. In an instant, he used all his strength to lean to the side from his position, and then grabbed it.

The branches of the tree were very rough. Coupled with the force of the fall, the man’s slender palm instantly bled.

There was a needle-like pain. The strange liquid, which was like rouge, kept falling from his palm and was washed away by the water that kept rushing at him.

Because of the impact of the waterfall, Jiang Xuecheng felt that the pain seemed to be magnified ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times.

Even so, Jiang Xuecheng still firmly held on to the branches that were growing horizontally. He did not relax at all.

On his well-defined face, his expression was even more determined. There was not the slightest hint of fear in the face of death.

Su Wan was still up there. She had already inhaled too much water. If she was not rescued in time, she would probably be in extreme danger even if she was on the shore.

Therefore, he did not want to die. He only wanted to live.

Moreover, it was for him and Su Wan to both be alive!

The bright sunlight shone on Jiang Xuecheng’s face. His pitch-black eyes sparkled. They were astonishingly bright.

Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was slightly stern. He looked at the stone wall not far away and saw several long green vines.

Those green vines seemed to be very thick. He did not know if they were sturdy enough to bear his weight.

Jiang Xuecheng thought for a second. Suddenly, he heard a very subtle cracking sound.

He narrowed his eyes and raised his head vigilantly, only to see that a small part of the branch he was climbing on had already cracked.

If he didn’t find the next load-bearing body, he might really die here!

Forget it!

No need to consider it anymore!

Jiang Xuecheng narrowed his eyes and quickly made a bold decision. He leaped up and grabbed the tree vine with extreme precision.

Perhaps because it had been hit by the waterfall all year round, this vine was very slippery when he grabbed it. If not for the fact that his life was in danger, Jiang Xuecheng would’ve lost his grip if he hadn’t used his greatest strength!

For a moment, Jiang Xuecheng could not stabilize his center of gravity. His slender body swayed along the cliff wall.

The rapid flow of water hit Jiang Xuecheng’s face. It was very cold and painful.

Jiang Xuecheng felt that too much water had been poured into his eyes. He could hardly see clearly.

He pursed his lips and forcefully suppressed all kinds of discomfort. He kept climbing up the vines.

The strong smell of blood reached his nose, and it made Jiang Xuecheng sober up a lot.

He climbed up the waterfall as fast as he could.

No matter what, Su Wan must not be hurt...

She was still waiting for him to save her...

Although blood was flowing on his palm, Jiang Xuecheng seemed to have not noticed it at all. He kept climbing up with an unshakable belief.

He could not stop.

Because stopping meant relaxing, and it would cost human life.

After ten minutes, Jiang Xuecheng finally reached the top of the waterfall. He stumbled and ran towards the bank of the river.

In his blurry vision, a slender figure was instantly reflected.

Su Wan was lying on the ground. Her dress was wrinkled and covered in mud.

As expected, she was still not awake.

Jiang Xuecheng wiped the water off his face and rushed toward Su Wan like a sharp arrow.

Because he used too much strength, he staggered and his entire knee went limp. He fell to his knees in front of Su Wan.

A craggy little rock pierced through Jiang Xuecheng’s pants and into his knee.

A piercing pain came from his knee, but Jiang Xuecheng did not even frown. He simply threw the sharp rock out without bandaging himself.

He bent down and kept recalling the first aid knowledge in his mind. Then, he pulled open Su Wan’s tattered clothes and reached out to press her stomach.

Then, he directly lowered his head and began to give Su Wan mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

...

Su Wan felt a dull pain in her heart. It was as if a monster was pressing down on her body, making it difficult for her to breathe.

In the midst of her daze, Su Wan felt a burst of light and shadow. Someone was calling her name anxiously by her ear.

Due to her confusion, Su Wan could no longer distinguish whether it was a man or a woman who was calling her.

She only felt that the other party’s voice was extremely urgent, with an indescribable fear.

Who was it?

Su Wan’s body trembled violently. She choked twice and unconsciously spat out a few mouthfuls of water.

After spitting out the dirty water, Su Wan felt her whole body relax, but she was still extremely tired. It was as if her body had been filled with lead, and it was extremely heavy.

Su Wan opened her eyes with difficulty. In her blurry vision, a bedraggled handsome face was reflected.

Su Wan blinked her eyes again. This time, it was much clearer.

Under the flickering light, she could see the face of Jiang Xuecheng. Although his features were still clear and elegant, they were still stained with mud and water. There were even some messy grass leaves.

Was this really Jiang Xuecheng?!

“Wan Wan, you’re finally awake!”

Seeing Su Wan open her eyes, an indescribable surprise emerged in Jiang Xuecheng’s heart. It made him unable to speak fluently!

“That’s... That’s great!”

Without thinking, he immediately hugged Su Wan tightly, as if Su Wan was a priceless treasure in his heart.
