”Is it a timed bomb?”

”Yes.”

”How much time is left? How long until the countdown ends?”

”Three minutes... two minutes and forty seconds.”

”Then you need to get out of here!”

Murong Fei, as if driven mad, tried to push Qin Tian away, but Qin Tian remained crouched beside a stool, motionless.

”Go quickly, don’t worry about me!”

Murong Fei’s voice was hoarse from shouting, and no matter what Qin Tian said, Murong Fei, overwhelmed by emotion, wouldn’t listen and kept trying to drag him away.

Although Qin Tian was anxious, he was momentarily at a loss in face of the emotionally uncontrolled Murong Fei.

”Don’t rush me away; I came back specifically to save you.”

”The bomb seems simply set up; I’m confident that I can defuse it...”

As Qin Tian spoke to Murong Fei, he carefully examined the construction of the bomb.

In fact, the issue with this suggested bomb was the wires—an issue of cutting one: a white wire and a red wire, one correct, one wrong.

If Qin Tian had bomb disposal equipment, it would take minutes to defuse this bomb, but right now, Qin Tian had no equipment whatsoever.

”Hurry... you need to hurry...”

Murong Fei was still frantic, grabbing Qin Tian’s clothing and tugging hard, making it impossible for Qin Tian to think clearly.

When Qin Tian saw that only a minute and a half remained, he became even more anxious. He wanted to carefully analyze which wire to cut, but Murong Fei seemed to not want him to think at all, constantly pushing him.

”Murong Fei!”

Qin Tian suddenly shouted, fixing his gaze on her, looking stern and commanding.

Murong Fei was startled, looking back at Qin Tian.

The two locked eyes for a few seconds.

Murong Fei regained her composure and again tried to push Qin Tian away.

Just then, Qin Tian steeled his heart and leaned forward, opening his mouth and planting a kiss on Murong Fei’s seductive red lips!

”Mmm mmm...”

The previously agitated Murong Fei, suddenly kissed by Qin Tian, trembled all over, and then tears started rolling down her cheeks.

After kissing her, Qin Tian straightened up, and at that moment, Murong Fei indeed quieted down.

”Calm down, please, can you calm down? There’s only one minute left; I can’t escape anymore.”

Qin Tian looked at Murong Fei, and she looked back at him.

But now, Murong Fei was calm, gasping for breath, unable to speak.

Qin Tian glanced at the time and said, ”Fifty-six seconds left, Miss Fei. Here there’s a white wire and a red wire. Which do you say I cut? If it’s right, we’ll be fine; if it’s wrong, I... I’ll die with you!”

At these words, Murong Fei looked at Qin Tian, tears streaming down her face.

She also knew that it was too late for Qin Tian to leave now.

”You choose, I trust you. Whatever choice you make, I’ll bear the consequences with you.”

Murong Fei looked at Qin Tian, her attitude resolute.

The seconds ticked by, only 30 seconds left.

Qin Tian crouched down, took out the Dragon Blood Dagger, and looked at the two wires beside the bomb under the stool, hesitating.

The countdown continues, only 10 seconds left!

10!

9!

8!

...

4!

3!

2!

Click!

With only two seconds left, Qin Tian suddenly made up his mind, the Dragon Blood swung, and he cut the white wire!

In the instant he cut the white wire, Qin Tian and Murong Fei both closed their eyes tight!

But the next moment, both of them opened their eyes suddenly—

There was no explosion!

The white line was a safe line!

Qin Tian stood up and quickly removed the bomb from the chair, helping Murong Fei to her feet, and exclaimed joyfully, ”It looks like we’re lucky, the white line was a safe line.”

Murong Fei looked at Qin Tian, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

However, she reached out and tightly grasped Qin Tian’s hand that was supporting her.

”Let’s go, we need to get out of here quickly; this place isn’t safe.”

Thinking that there might still be members of Zhongyi Hall inside the Underground Palace, Qin Tian, supporting Murong Fei, prepared to leave.

But Murong Fei had been fasting for more than a day, so she hadn’t eaten at all, which meant her energy and spirits were now very low.

Previously, she had been sustained by sheer adrenaline, but now that Qin Tian had saved her, her guard had dropped, and she nearly collapsed.

”Are you okay?”

Qin Tian quickly steadied her, and seeing that Murong Fei’s face was completely devoid of color, said, ”You’re too weak. Shall I carry you?”

Murong Fei gave him a weak look, and without waiting for her consent, Qin Tian hoisted her onto his back and started outside.

”Beep beep beep...”

As he stepped out of the secret room door, Qin Tian’s ears twitched, suddenly catching a series of urgent beeping sounds, and in an instant, his nerves tensed up—

The sound of a bomb about to explode!

There was still a bomb in the secret room!

Realizing this, Qin Tian immediately sprinted away!

Boom!

He had only run a few steps when the secret room exploded instantly!

The immense force of the explosion sent shockwaves ripping through the air, and as Qin Tian ran, he felt the power of the bomb and instantly turned around, shielding Murong Fei beneath him!

Boom boom boom...

The Underground Palace was engulfed in flying sand and stones; the secret room was destroyed in an instant!

Qin Tian held Murong Fei, hitting the ground hard; he felt a sharp pain coming from his back—

As he had turned around, a piece of stone had fallen and struck Qin Tian’s back where he was already injured, severely worsening his wounds.

Qin Tian lay on the ground, protecting Murong Fei beneath him, but he was heavily impacted by the blast, and his head felt dizzy.

The area was filled with flying dust and chaos.

”Qin Tian... Qin Tian...”

Beneath Qin Tian, Murong Fei called out softly.

She opened her eyes and saw Qin Tian firmly protecting her, which made her feel a twinge in her nose and a warm surge in her heart.

Even at a life-threatening moment, he truly was willing to shield her with his life!

But... did she really deserve this sacrifice from him?

Murong Fei didn’t know; she shook her head and, using all her strength, pushed Qin Tian off her and cried desperately, ”Qin Tian, are you okay? Qin Tian... don’t scare me...”

”Cough cough... I’m okay...”

Qin Tian had been unconscious for a minute, but thinking about Murong Fei’s safety, he immediately woke up.

”I’m fine, it’s okay.”

He got up, helped Murong Fei to her feet, and said, ”We need to leave quickly; it’s too unsafe here.”

Although Murong Fei strongly objected, at that moment, Qin Tian ignored her emotions, hoisted her onto his back again, and both of them staggered towards the outside.

On Qin Tian’s back, Murong Fei saw the bloodstains on Qin Tian’s back and touched his wound, feeling the blood still flowing...

She cried, cried bitterly, perhaps the hardest she had ever cried in her life.

She wanted Qin Tian to let her down, but he firmly refused.

Eventually, Murong Fei stopped resisting and let the gravely injured Qin Tian carry her step by step toward the cave entrance.

After several minutes, they finally left the cave.

”Boss!”

Seeing how haggard Qin Tian looked, Lin Yu, who had come to meet them, was astonished.

Seeing his people, Qin Tian’s spirit collapsed, and after setting Murong Fei down, he slumped to the ground, nearly fainting.

Murong Fei cried sorrowfully before Qin Tian passed out and asked in tears, ”Qin Tian, tell me, why did you cut the white line? Did you know it was safe?”

”Because you like white, fool...”
