exit.

Zhao Yuan's workload is very heavy.

At the beginning, when Qiqi saw the stack of drawings and calculation formulas that Zhao Yuan was waiting for, she didn't care. But in the next few days, Zhao Yuan would bring stacks of drawings when he came back. Qiqi's

Only then did I realize that this was by no means an easy thing.

one day!

Two days!

Three days!

…

Eight full days passed. During these eight days, Zhao Yuan was overloaded with work and barely said a word to Qiqi. The stack of drawings became thicker and thicker.

At the beginning, Qiqi was worried that Zhao Yuan would take the opportunity to molest her. You know, this place is so chaotic. However, Zhao Yuan had no idea about this at all. He was too busy.

, except for returning to the cave to sort out data, he basically works in the main cave.

On the ninth day, Zhao Yuan returned to the cave, sat cross-legged on the carpet and began to calculate some data. Qiqi brought Zhao Yuan a cup of steaming boiling water and some dry food. These days, Qiqi also realized that they could not even think about it in the short term.

After going out, she began to decorate the small cave and set up a small stove. Every time Zhao Yuan came back, he would bring her some small firewood dried with spiritual energy. There was not much firewood, and the quantity was very small.

, however, it is no problem to boil a cup of boiling water to drink occasionally, which makes the cave more lively.

"Zhao Yuan, eat something. You haven't eaten for eight days."

"Thank you." Zhao Yuan did not raise his head, reached out to take the cup, took a gentle sip, and then threw himself into the vast and complicated calculations.

"Zhao Yuan, you have to eat something." Qiqi grabbed Zhao Yuan's hand.

"I am a cultivator. I can do without food for ten and a half days. But you are a mortal. You can do without food for a day. You'd better be more economical." Zhao Yuan sighed, raised his head and looked at Qiqi.

"Are we unable to go out?" Qiqi suddenly realized something was wrong.

"It's hard to say." Zhao Yuan gently patted Qiqi's hand and comforted her.

"Tell me your calculations."

"It's very complicated... The formation of this cave is very strange. On the cave wall opposite us is a huge rock with a diameter of more than five kilometers and an oval shape. The underground river has eroded a huge rock around it.

The ring-shaped cave is surrounded by rocks. The cave wall we are leaning against is surrounded by huge rocks. Its composition is also very complex. The huge rocks are mixed with thick layers of soil. After years of erosion,

There are tens of thousands of small caves scattered among them, connected in series and intersecting with each other, forming a maze of ring caves... If we are lucky, maybe we can find a way out of the cave..."

"What if you have bad luck?" Qiqi's bright eyes stared at Zhao Yuan.

"Bad luck...haha...my luck has always been good."

"I'm asking, what if we are unlucky?" Qiqi asked reluctantly.

"We will starve to death here. Of course, it may take a long time to really starve to death, because there are many small blind fish in this cave..."

"Those fish are about the same size as the tip of a needle?" Qiqi laughed dumbly.

"Yes." Zhao Yuan nodded awkwardly.

"Zhao Yuan, I want to ask you something." Qiqi stared at Zhao Yuan with a serious face.

"What's up?"

"I want to die in front of you."

"...We will not die."

"Zhao Yuan, I'm serious, promise me! If you die, I will be lonely and scared. If I die in front of you, I will feel more at ease." Qiqi's expression was extremely serious.

"Our food can last for two months, don't worry, it's only been nine days." Zhao Yuan sighed and said with relief.

"I know, in fact, our food can only last a month. Look at your appearance and see for yourself!" Qiqi took out a small mirror from her bag and handed it to Zhao Yuan.

"What are you looking at...ah..."

Zhao Yuan looked in the mirror and was startled. He saw himself in the mirror with sunken eyes, like a black-armored demon whose soul had been sucked away by a black-hearted wooden sword.

"Zhao Yuan, although you are very powerful, you are only a junior cultivator and have not yet reached the legendary level of Bigu. What's more, your high-intensity work every day now consumes not only your physical strength, but also your energy. If you don't work for a few days,

To eat, I’m afraid…”

"Um."

Zhao Yuan nodded, picked up the dry food, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it slowly with boiled water.

The atmosphere became inexplicably tense.

Zhao Yuan has always been an optimistic person. He never thought that he would be trapped here, but now, he has to think about this problem.

"Zhao Yuan, was it you who killed Fanjingmen's senior brother?" Qiqi suddenly asked.

"Ah...what do you know?" Zhao Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and murderous intent overflowed.

"Sure enough, you were the one who killed him." Qiqi was completely unaware of Zhao Yuan's murderous intention. She sighed softly and touched the long sword in her hand.

"Do you know him?" Zhao Yuan looked at the long sword and understood instantly. After a moment of hesitation, the boiling murderous intention disappeared, and a wry smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he was still thinking about killing people and silencing them. It was a big joke.

.

"He is my fiancé." Qiqi said calmly.

"Fiancé!" Zhao Yuan was stunned.

"Yes, my father betrothed me to him in exchange for a cultivation secret book from the Fanjing Sect. It is said that the secret book can allow the royal family to break the restrictions of gods and allow us royal family to cultivate and become immortals." Qiqi's face revealed.

A touch of loneliness.

"Sorry." Zhao Yuan really couldn't think of a better way to say it.

"There is nothing to be sorry for. He and I have never met and have no relationship. Moreover, if he had not died, I would not have gone to Fanjing Mountain, let alone met you. Then

, my whole life will be ordinary... Haha, the magnificent events I have experienced during this period are enough for me to die without regrets."

"I regret dying." Zhao Yuan said with a bitter smile.

"Tell me about my fiancé." Qiqi couldn't help but giggle when she saw Zhao Yuan's dejected look.

"That person..."

Looking at Qiqi, who was trembling with flowers, Zhao Yuan was immediately moved by lust. He quickly controlled the thoughts in his heart and told the whole story.

Although Zhao Yuan didn't add anything to it, Qiqi was shocked and nervous. When Zhao Yuan finished telling the story, Qiqi said two words: "You deserve to be killed!"

"Yes, this man is narrow-minded and vicious. If I don't kill him, he will be killed sooner or later."

"Zhao Yuan, you are such a strange person." Qiqi said softly.

"Strange! What kind of strange method?" Zhao Yuan was stunned.

"Sometimes, you are wild and unruly, but more often than not, you are thoughtful and careful every step of the way; sometimes, you are like a slut who wants to pounce on a beautiful woman and take a bite when he sees one, but most of the time, you are just as oblivious to

Women are like nothing; you are talented and literary, but you never show off your words... You always give people an extreme feeling. Sometimes you look weak and talkative, but in fact, you are never led by others.

Walk with your nose..."

"Why don't I feel this way..."

"You just said that the process of killing senior brother was full of ups and downs and thrills. From it, it can be seen that you were bold but not anxious at the same time. Both your patience and strategy are remarkable. When it comes to lusting after women.

, you and Wan Ling'er obviously love each other. I don't think Wan Ling'er would refuse if you wanted to, but you were able to control your desires. The literary talent you showed in Jucheng, the northern capital,

It's enough to put those Hanlin University scholars to shame! Finally, you seem to rarely reject others, but you have your own bottom line. There are probably very few people in this world who can influence you."

"I don't know whether you are praising me or hurting me." Zhao Yuan smiled, sat cross-legged, picked up a pen and paper, and began to calculate.

"Actually, I didn't tell you your greatest advantage." Qiqi's clear eyes showed a hint of brilliance.

"Haha, there are still advantages. Let's talk about it." Zhao Yuan raised his head.

"Be persistent and never give up!"

"My face is burning with such praise from you." Zhao Yuan laughed.

"Really, Zhao Yuan, you have a spirit in your bones, an unyielding spirit. I know that on the first day, you found that this cave is a desperate place, but you are still patiently looking for hope...

..." Qiqi's eyes became moist as she spoke.

"Look, look, I've moved you. You're going to die anyway, why don't we live happily and then die." Zhao Yuan stretched out his hand, lifted Qiqi's smooth chin, and laughed loudly.

"I'm talking to you about business!"

Qiqi's face turned red, and she slapped Zhao Yuan's hand away angrily. She lowered her beautiful eyes, not daring to look at Zhao Yuan.

"Okay, let's get down to business. I have to go to work. You can rest early. Maybe we can go out tomorrow."

Zhao Yuan smiled and began to concentrate on his work.
