Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 769 - 768 You’re too heavy
769: Chapter 768 You’re too heavy…
769 -768 You’re too heavy…
“Ugh…”
Not knowing how long had passed, Che Xiaoxiao also slowly woke up.
By this time, it was almost completely dark, and Hao Jian had drifted some distance from the place where he initially came to.
“You’re awake?”
A familiar and warm voice came to her ears, a blissful expression appearing on Che Xiaoxiao’s face.
However, what was up with the sound of water by her ears?
“Ah!”
As she opened her eyes in confusion, she was immediately startled by the sight before her.
Sea!
Nothing but sea!
How did I end up in the sea?!
She quickly began to recall what had happened; she vaguely remembered falling into the sea with Hao Jian and then losing consciousness.
Next, Che Xiaoxiao hurriedly shifted her gaze to Hao Jian, who was holding her.
Upon seeing his face, she let out a sigh of relief.
It was all right, as long as this guy was by her side.
“Ah!
What happened to you?!”
But just then, as her gaze slowly moved down to Hao Jian’s body, she saw his body covered in blood.
At that sight, Che Xiaoxiao’s pretty face turned white as she exclaimed in shock.
“My dear granny, you’re finally awake!”
Feeling the person in his arms stir, Hao Jian managed a wry smile and said, “If you didn’t wake up soon, my arms would have broken.”
“You’re too heavy…”
“Humph!”
Che Xiaoxiao muttered discontentedly, “Even if I’m heavy, I’m not as heavy as you!”
“My dear granny, I’m bearing this pain to hold you!
Otherwise, you would have sunk to the bottom of the sea by now.
Didn’t you see all these injuries on me?!”
Seeing that Che Xiaoxiao had no intention of swimming on her own, Hao Jian didn’t push further.
Instead, he smiled bitterly and, continuing to hold her, swam toward the direction he had identified.
For in that direction, there appeared to be an island resembling land, slowly coming into their view.
“Swish, swash!”
Suddenly, a strange sound of flowing water abruptly rose.
Che Xiaoxiao’s ears moved slightly, and she became puzzled when she turned her head and her face instantly changed dramatically.
In her line of sight, something that resembled the dorsal fin of a shark was swiftly approaching.
“Shit!
A shark?”
Seeing the dorsal fin, Che Xiaoxiao’s first thought was exactly that, and she let out a scream.
Hao Jian couldn’t help but frown.
It really was a case of misfortunes never coming singly — they seemed to encounter all the bad luck in the world.
“Ahh!
There’s a shark!
What do we do, Hao Jian!”
“Scared of what!
Watch me kill it!”
Looking at the faint traces of blood on the sea surface, Hao Jian had a rough guess why the shark appeared — it must have been attracted by the blood he was losing.
But if it was just a shark, he wasn’t afraid!
“Roar!”
When the shark was just two or three meters away, it finally revealed its ferocious face.
It leaped from the water, opening its bloodstained mouth filled with a foul stench, and aimed a bite at Hao Jian.
The scent of blood told it that the prey before it was an exceedingly delicious meal!
“Ah!”
Seeing this horrifying scene, like something out of a movie, Che Xiaoxiao’s pretty face lost all its color.
She hugged her head and screamed in fright, her shrill cries piercing Hao Jian’s ears.
“Shit!
Stop screaming, or you’ll burst my eardrums!”
The sudden sharp scream startled Hao Jian, who had been gathering his strength.
His previously well-built momentum crumbled away in an instant.
“Swish, swash!”
And at this time, the shark was getting ever closer to the two of them — Hao Jian could even smell the fishy scent from the shark’s mouth.
Let’s deal with it quickly and move on.
Thankfully, some of my strength has recovered…
Hao Jian shook his head, and seeing Che Xiaoxiao’s bloodless cheeks, he felt particularly distressed.
He resolved that once they got back, he would thoroughly investigate this accident!
“Boom!”
In a flash, Hao Jian suddenly thrust out one palm, his eyes flashing with a hint of cold light.
He stamped fiercely in the water with his foot, utilizing the force of the water flow for an upward thrust.
Palm Force enveloped his hand as he brought it down in a direct chop at the shark’s body!
Ultimately, the shark left this world with a puzzled expression, wondering why its food dared to fight back…
Hao Jian tore the shark’s body into two pieces, and the blood-red blood splattered over the surface of the sea, dyeing his vision crimson.
The blood from the shark all spilled onto Hao Jian, but Che Xiaoxiao, protected by him, did not have a single drop on her.
“A mere shark dares to trouble me?”
Wiping the blood off his palm casually, Hao Jian paid no more attention to it, glanced at the shark carcass behind him with a shake of his head, then bent down to look at the person in his arms, grinning and saying,
“It’s okay now.”
“Mm…”
Che Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, no longer as agitated as before, a change that slightly surprised Hao Jian, who then smiled.
Previously, suggesting that Che Xiaoxiao swim by herself was actually a joke from Hao Jian; after all, she was a girl, what if she got a leg cramp while swimming in the sea?
Besides, he could now feel his hands again, and under the thin layers of clothing was that smooth skin he did not want to let go of.
Since holding a beauty came with so many benefits, naturally, Hao Jian was not going to let her go, and to reach the shore even faster, he let Che Xiaoxiao hold onto his neck, freeing him to swim with full force.
Beyond wanting to reach the shore quickly, the main concern was that the blood in the water might attract more ferocious sea creatures; sharks were one thing, but it would be terrifying if a whole group appeared…
Therefore, they must reach the shallows quickly; otherwise, more sharks would truly come.
“Splash splash!”
His legs kicked continuously against the water, rapidly moving towards the ever-closer shore.
…………
“Where is this place?!”
When they reached the shore, Hao Jian was completely dumbfounded by the scene before him; all around, not a soul could be seen, only the silent chirping of insects and birdsong.
Beyond that, there was only the sound of waves lapping against the beach.
“Alright, you can put me down now, look at the state you’re in…”
Seeing that they had reached land and Hao Jian was still holding her, Che Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him.
If it weren’t for Hao Jian being in a bad state, she would have liked to be held by him indefinitely.
He always gave her a sense of security, and the way he tore that shark apart earlier left a deeply impressive heroic image in her heart.
“Okay.”
Hearing this, Hao Jian nodded, then bent down and carefully put Che Xiaoxiao on the ground so that she landed firmly.
He then ran to the water’s edge, stripped off his clothes, and began washing them right in front of Che Xiaoxiao, thankfully not removing his underwear.
Having wrestled with the shark and been covered in a fishy scent of blood, Hao Jian had been eager to wash for some time.
Given the situation was safe now that they were ashore, he couldn’t wait to get his clothes clean.
“Hmph!
This bastard!”
After stepping out of Hao Jian’s embrace, Che Xiaoxiao saw his impatient demeanor and stuck her tongue out at him, made a face, and humphed.
She then walked toward him with a gentle gait.
What’s going on?!
However, as Che Xiaoxiao approached Hao Jian, her lovely expression changed dramatically.
Her gaze fixed intently on his back, where several crimson wounds were clearly visible, the irregular cracking marks looked as though he’d been heavily struck by some object.
During the time she had been awake, nothing had hit Hao Jian’s back; the only explanation for these wounds must have been from the time before she regained consciousness!
And the only opportunity for Hao Jian to have been hurt while she was unconscious would have been when they fell from the Bungee Jump Platform!
No wonder she was unharmed, and this bastard was riddled with injuries; evidently, he had protected her…
Realizing this, Che Xiaoxiao regretted acting petulantly against Hao Jian, unaware of how severe his injuries were.
This bastard, seriously wounded yet still grinning foolishly—was he truly oblivious to the pain?
This bastard!
Perhaps due to the severity of his injuries, compounded with the vast amount of energy expended in the sea, Hao Jian was oblivious to Che Xiaoxiao’s approach, focused on washing his clothes.
And sometimes, due to the force used while washing, stretching his arms tugged at the wounds on his body, causing a pain that made Hao Jian grimace and gasp, yet he persisted in getting his clothes spotlessly clean.
“Done!”
He wrung his clothes dry and planned to wear them again.
Sniffing them with his nose, he could only smell a faint sea brine scent, which was bearable to him, at least better than the bloody aroma from before.
After washing his clothes, Hao Jian prepared to find Che Xiaoxiao, but as he turned his head, he saw her tear-filled eyes, which immediately changed his expression.
He ran to Che Xiaoxiao and comforted her, “Look, Xiaoxiao!
Don’t cry, okay?
We’ll be able to go back soon…”
“I’m not crying…
not crying!”
Seeing Hao Jian approach, Che Xiaoxiao immediately embraced him and burst into loud sobs……………………….
