Chapter 963 Meeting Ji Rumei Again
Ji Rumei knew Ji Xiaochan’s personality, so she reluctantly put down her book and stood up, saying: “Alright… I’ll go change into my swimsuit first, wait for me a moment.”
“Hurry up!” Ji Xiaochan said with a smile.
Ji Rumei walked toward the changing room at the back.
Ten minutes later, Ji Rumei returned to the beach wearing a purple one-piece swimsuit.
“Sister… you have such a great figure, I can’t usually tell,” Ji Xiaochan said with a smile.
Ji Rumei didn’t respond and walked to the edge of the beach, dipping her feet into the seawater.
“Sister, just come right in, I’ll let you use the swim ring,” Ji Xiaochan grabbed Ji Rumei’s feet and pulled her down.
Ji Rumei let out a small cry as she slid into the water.
Ji Xiaochan laughed while placing the swim ring around Ji Rumei.
“Sister, don’t panic. The water is shallow here, and you have the swim ring… as long as you don’t swim too far out, there won’t be any problems.”
Ji Rumei nodded slightly and, wearing the swim ring, swam forward a little.
“Actually, it’s fine. If you accidentally swim too far, I’ll come find you,” Ji Xiaochan added.
She was a key member of her university swim team with excellent swimming skills and had no fear of seawater like this.
Ji Rumei smiled slightly without saying anything, leaned her back against the swim ring, tilted her head back, and closed her eyes.
“Sister, I’m a bit thirsty. I’m going up to get some water,” Ji Xiaochan said.
“Mm,” Ji Rumei replied with her eyes still closed.
Soaking in the warm seawater, basking in the sunshine.
This experience was indeed very comfortable.
Ji Rumei closed her eyes, feeling drowsiness overtake her, almost falling asleep.
At this moment, she didn’t notice that the seawater beneath her was slowly moving.
The swim ring was carrying her toward the sea area on the left.
…
Ji Xiaochan drank some mineral water on the beach and replied to a few text messages on her phone.
She put down her phone, looked up, and was about to return to the sea.
At this moment, she discovered that Ji Rumei, who had been very close to the shore, was gone!
“Sister!” Ji Xiaochan’s face changed dramatically as she immediately ran forward, looking at the sea area in front and behind.
At this point, she discovered that Ji Rumei had moved toward the north, moving extremely fast, now almost a hundred meters away from her.
There was no one else in the nearby waters!
Moreover, Ji Xiaochan knew very well that Ji Rumei wasn’t a good swimmer!
“Sister!” Ji Xiaochan’s face turned pale as she chased along the beach.
At this moment, Ji Rumei in the swim ring also opened her eyes.
She realized that her position wasn’t right.
Looking back, she was already far from the shore!
And she was still rapidly moving outward!
Ji Rumei looked ahead and suddenly discovered that a whirlpool had appeared on the surface of the water in front of her!
Ji Rumei, trapped in the swim ring, was being sucked toward that whirlpool!
Realizing this, Ji Rumei immediately panicked.
She knew that if she allowed the swim ring to continue moving toward the whirlpool…
She would inevitably be drawn into it!
She could barely swim in calm waters, let alone in the center of a whirlpool!
But now, she had no way to escape!
The nearby currents were all being drawn toward that whirlpool.
Even if she broke free from the swim ring, she couldn’t leave the area affected by the whirlpool!
What should she do now?
Ji Rumei’s face turned pale as she bit her red lips, at a loss for what to do.
…
“It’s almost time.” Fang Yu stood up from the bench and looked toward the sea.
After waiting here for more than ten minutes, he hadn’t sensed any unusual presence.
Nearby, he hadn’t even seen anyone.
The man in black… hadn’t arrived.
“Should I find the entrance first, then wait for him there for a while?” Fang Yu thought, then pushed off with his feet, his body soaring into the air, rushing toward the sea.
Within seconds, he arrived above the sea area.
“According to the map, the marked point should be around here.” Fang Yu slowed down and flew forward.
At this moment, he remembered the Void Devourer on his shoulder, turned to look at it, and asked: “Can you swim? As far as I know, most dogs can swim naturally.”
The Void Devourer ignored Fang Yu.
“Splash!”
At this moment, there was the sound of splashing water from below.
Accompanied by screams.
Fang Yu looked down and saw a whirlpool on the surface of the sea below.
About five or six meters from the whirlpool, there was a woman wearing a swim ring, struggling desperately.
But she couldn’t break free from the swim ring and was rapidly heading toward the center of the whirlpool.
Fang Yu looked at this woman and quickly recognized her face, his heart skipping a beat.
This was… Ji Rumei?
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then dove downward.
But at this moment, Ji Rumei had already reached the center of the whirlpool.
“Help…” Ji Rumei choked on several mouthfuls of seawater and vaguely saw a figure appear in the sky above.
But just as she called out one word, her entire body was sucked into the whirlpool, her voice abruptly cut off.
Fang Yu stopped above the sea surface, his brows furrowed.
This whirlpool appearing on the sea surface… was the entrance to the ancient relic!
Now, it was exactly three o’clock in the afternoon!
He had originally planned to wait a bit longer in the area to see if the man in black would appear.
But now… there was no time to wait.
Ji Rumei was an ordinary person entering the ancient relic. Not to mention whether her physical constitution could safely pass through the spatial tunnel… once inside, if she encountered danger, there would only be one path: death.
Fang Yu didn’t consider for long before his figure flashed and he plunged into the whirlpool.
In that instant, Fang Yu felt his body lighten.
The surroundings began to become illusory.
This process lasted for nearly three seconds.
“Thud!”
Fang Yu’s feet soon landed on solid ground.
The first thing he saw was a large stone gate shaped like an arched bridge in front of him.
Three large characters were carved on the stone gate.
Xu Zhen Sect.
Fang Yu could understand these three characters at a glance, but they weren’t actually characters from this era.
“These are characters from ancient times… this writing system was already obsolete when I was born,” Fang Yu thought.
Looking through the stone gate, there was an extremely steep mountain path.
Where the mountain path led, Fang Yu couldn’t see the end from his position.
All he could see were the treacherous mountain terrain and the wild grass and trees growing along both sides of the path.
“Xu Zhen Sect…” Fang Yu carefully recalled in his mind.
He should have heard of this sect before, but at the moment, he couldn’t remember the specific details.
Where had he heard of it?
Fang Yu pondered for a while, then looked down.
At this point, he discovered a figure lying in front of him.
It was Ji Rumei, who had been sucked into the whirlpool before him.
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered as he walked forward, crouched down, and helped Ji Rumei up.
At this moment, Ji Rumei was pale, her eyes tightly closed, having already fainted.
Fang Yu extended his right hand and pressed it against her forehead.
A white light appeared.
“Her physical constitution seems quite good, surprisingly without any problems… the cause of her fainting is the dizziness from crossing through space.” Fang Yu looked at Ji Rumei, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
After a few seconds, Ji Rumei’s long eyelashes began to tremble, and she soon opened her eyes.
Seeing Fang Yu in front of her, Ji Rumei was stunned, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
“Mr. Fang… am I dreaming?” Ji Rumei asked hesitantly.
As she spoke, she raised her right hand, wanting to touch Fang Yu’s face.
Fang Yu dodged backward and said: “You’re not dreaming, it’s really me.”
Hearing his voice, Ji Rumei was stunned again, then recalled what had just happened.
Before she lost consciousness, she had seen a figure appear from the sky…
So it was Fang Yu!
Seeing Ji Rumei’s confused expression, Fang Yu briefly explained the situation.
“You mean… this isn’t Earth?” Ji Rumei looked around, her expression even more surprised.
“It can’t be understood that way. This is still Earth… just not in the original space,” Fang Yu answered.
“Oh…” Ji Rumei nodded as if she understood, though she didn’t.
Actually, she didn’t need to understand.
After seeing Fang Yu, there wasn’t a trace of panic in her heart; instead, she felt quite joyful.
To encounter Fang Yu in such a situation… this must be fate, right?
“Why were you in that sea area?” Fang Yu asked.
“I… was accompanying my cousin to play at the beach. After getting in the water, I closed my eyes for a while, and then…” Ji Rumei said.
“I see.” Fang Yu stood up.
He glanced at Ji Rumei and took out a set of clothes from the storage space in his Void Ring, handing them to Ji Rumei.
