It was only after Bai Luo Yin had finished eating when something crawled to his mind. He turned to face the other side and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Your wife actually let you come to such a dangerous place?"

"My wife?" Gu Hai stared blankly at him for a moment, truly baffled since he could not recall who Bai Luo Yin was referring to as his wife.

"What wife?" He shouted back.

Bai Luo Yin shouted again, "Aren't you engaged now?"

"How the fuck am I engaged, huh?" Gu Hai finally realized that this bastard actually thought he was engaged, so he bellowed, "If I was really engaged, then why would I be suffering here? I would've been living my simple life already, and I wouldn't even care if you rot in this mud!!"

With just those words, Bai Luo Yin's heart immediately leaped and brightened up with an array of colors.

"You're not engaged? Then, why the hell did you give me that invitation card? Were you trying to fucking scare me?"

"That's right! I intentionally wanted to scare a fool like you!!"

Bai Luo Yin stood up, faced him and angrily shouted, "You're so fucking cruel!!"

"I'm cruel?" Gu Hai shouted back, "Is it that lover of yours not cruel? If she's not cruel, then why didn't she come to look for you?"

Although the surface of Bai Luo Yin's face was masked with an intense fierceness, in reality, his heart was being secretly devoured by happiness.

"She's just an ordinary woman, how can she come to this kind of place, huh?"

A fiery fire of anger burnt strongly within Gu Hai again, "Are you saying a man like me can be used as a donkey? If I fall into the mud pit and get swallowed up from head to toe, then I deserved it? Even if my skin is thick, how many men would dare come here to look for you? What about those battle comrades of yours? And that terrified bastard who gave you dumplings and lie on your bed?"

As Bai Luo Yin listened to Gu Hai barrage of outburst coiled out one by one from the other side, his voice goes mute, but a second later, unable to bear it anymore, he yelled, "You should take a rest!"

Gu Hai kept his mouth shut for the time being.

A vast expanding swamp plotted formidably in between them with a layer of blistering bubbles having taken control of the surface, creating dangerous obstacle. Sitting cross-legged amidst the thick fog that surrounded them, the two resembled Taoist monks practicing asceticism.[1]

After calming down, the two stared at each other for the longest time from either side of the shore while a complex yet mutual feeling slowly emerged.

Another moment passed before Bai Luo Yin spoke again, "How exactly did you get here?"

In such a vast swamp, accompanied by this bitter cold season, even the slightest carelessness can make it impossible to get out alive.

Hearing those words, Gu Hai became exhilarated once again as he faced the other side and bitterly shouted two words, "Qing Gong!"[2]

Bai Luo Yin laughed until the corners of his eyes welled with tears.

Is there really a need to ask this question when his heart already knew what happened?
