Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor Chapter 179 - 179 179 I Can't Swim

179: Chapter 179: I Can’t Swim 179: Chapter 179: I Can’t Swim Seeing Ye Wui gazing at the Lightning Mink, seemingly in disbelief, Fang Bai smiled and said, “Do you find it incredible?

Yes, if I were you, I’d also find it hard to believe.

But it’s true—this Little Mink not only led here but also helped rescue you…

You saw it subdue those four female bandits just now, didn’t you?”

“No…

I didn’t quite catch it…”

Ye Wui said, a bit embarrassed.

When the Lightning Mink suddenly attacked, it overpowered the four Female Martial Artists in a flash of lightning, so fast that Ye Wui saw only a streak of white circling the bandits without clearly making out anything else.

“Little Mink’s strength is much greater than yours; it’s normal you didn’t see clearly.

Anyway, this little guy played a significant role in successfully rescuing you.”

“Is this Little Mink really that powerful?

It traversed thousands of miles, braving mountains and rivers, just to find by following my scent?”

Ye Wui widened her beautiful eyes, observing Little Mink with interest, still sowhat disbelieving in her tone.

Squeak—

The Lightning Mink waved its two front paws and bared its teeth at Ye Wui as if it were a bit angry.

“Haha…”

Fang Bai stroked the Lightning Mink’s body, soothing it, and smiled at Ye Wui, “This Little Mink is no ordinary animal—it has awakened its intelligence and understands human speech.

We’ve rescued you, but you doubted us, so it’s angry and protesting to you!”

Seeing Little Mink’s seemingly human expression of anger, Ye Wui felt there was sothing inappropriate in her words, and the smile on Fang Bai’s face at that mont also gave her a comforting feeling.

“I’m sorry…

I’m sorry…

I shouldn’t have doubted you, thank you for saving …”

Ye Wui’s suspicions greatly diminished, and she quickly apologized to both the person and the mink.

Fang Bai waved his hand and said, “Let’s save the talk for later; this place might be a hideout for the bandits and isn’t safe.

We need to leave imdiately.”

Although they had dealt with the eight Female Martial Artists inside and outside the house, there were still many of their companions at the island’s makeshift dock.

Although Fang Bai wasn’t afraid of them, they could leave without alarming them.

The two, along with the mink, executed their movent technique, darting from the house and through the dense forest, reaching the north side of the island under the bright star and moonlight.

“Our yacht is right ahead.

Once we get on the yacht, we could possibly reach the shore in three to five hours if we’re fast enough.”

Fang Bai stood on the shore and pointed towards the sea a few miles away,

“Yacht?

There’s nothing there!

I don’t see anything…”

As a Yellow Level early-stage Martial Artist, Ye Wui’s vision was much better than that of a normal person, but she was far short of Fang Bai.

He could faintly make out the silhouette of the yacht, while all she could see was an expanse of sea.

“Let’s go, we’ll swim over!”

Fang Bai voiced a low command and jumped into the sea with the Lightning Mink.

A dozen ters out, Fang Bai looked back to find Ye Wui still standing on the shore, her hands tightly clasped in front of her chest in an imnsely anxious manner.

He swam back and urged, “Co on, get in the water quick!”

“I…

I can’t swim…”

Ye Wui looked at Fang Bai with pleading eyes, her voice tinged with a cry.

“No worries, just jump in, and I’ll take you across.”

Fang Bai hadn’t expected Ye Wui to be a non-swimr.

Seeing her standing by the sea, facing the water as if she were confronting a ferocious beast from ancient tis, her face filled with concern and fear, he couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

“Okay…

I’ll jump!”

Ye Wui knew that at this ti, being shy and timid would only drag Fang Bai down.

She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and leaped into the sea.

As a Yellow Level Martial Artist, she could take on several ordinary strong n on land with no problem, but in the water, she imdiately panicked.

All her martial arts skills were rendered useless.

She extended her hands towards the sky, scrambling to grab at anything that might offer support.

“Help…uugh…”

Ye Wui wanted to shout “save ”, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a salty wave of sea water rushed in, burning her nostrils and making her agony unspeakable.

“I’m done for…

I’m going to die…”

In that mont, Ye Wui felt as if she was the only person left in the entire world, utterly alone and tears of misery started to flow.

A not-so-large wave hit her, and Ye Wui swallowed another mouthful of water, feeling her body start to sink.

Despair overwheld her.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here!”

Just then, a strong hand grabbed Ye Wui’s left arm, followed by a gentle voice.

Ye Wui felt as if she had seen a beacon of light in an endless darkness.

She rushed towards it desperately and then wrapped her arms around it, fearing that if she let go, it would vanish.

“I say…

superstar, can you…

not hug so tight?

You’re…

about to strangle …

and I’m suffocating too…”

Fang Bai said, his voice intermittent and muffled.

Ye Wui’s head surfaced, and she breathed deeply, feeling like she had never needed air as much as she did now.

A mont later, Ye Wui recovered from her panic and felt a warm sensation in her chest.

She looked down and was stunned.

At this mont, Ye Wui, like an octopus, had her arms tightly wrapped around Fang Bai’s neck and her legs coiled around his waist, in an extrely ungraceful position.

Furthermore, after embracing Fang Bai, she instinctively tried to stay above water, making her body rise a full head higher than his.

Her arms clasped tightly around Fang Bai’s neck, burying his face in her chest.

The heat emanating from her chest was the warmth of Fang Bai’s breath as he spoke and breathed against her skin.

To make matters worse, it was the height of sumr and both of them were lightly dressed.

Soaked by the sea, their clothing clung tightly to their skin, making it almost as if they were wearing nothing at all.

Ye Wui had never been this close to any man in her life.

Realizing this, she first froze, then felt her scalp explode, and let out a shrill scream, releasing both her arms and legs.

As a result, with a splash, she fell into the sea once more, and then swallowed another two mouthfuls of sea water.

“Help…

save …”

The mont she hit the water and gulped down sea water, Ye Wui panicked once again, imdiately forgetting what had just happened, desperate to grab onto sothing.

Being unseemly and embarrassed was certainly better than drinking her fill of sea water and feeding the sharks.

So when Fang Bai extended his arm towards her again, Ye Wui clung to him just as tightly as before.

This ti, Ye Wui simply shut her eyes tightly, refusing to look at or think about anything, treating Fang Bai as if he were a log.

“Superstar, if you keep hugging like this, I can’t move!

We still need to get on the yacht!

Actually, you don’t need to hug this tightly, you just need to hold onto one of my arms with both your hands, and you won’t sink…

Don’t believe ?

Try it…

Yes, that’s it…”

After Fang Bai patiently explained for quite a while, Ye Wui finally overca her psychological fear.

She held onto Fang Bai’s arm that was extended on the surface of the water, and finding that indeed she wouldn’t sink, she finally relaxed.
