In the blink of an eye, the sky was blanketed by a veil of darkness once again. Bai Luo Yin twisted his head around and gave Gu Hai a glance, "What should we do? Sit here and wait for rescue or take advantage of the daylight and rush back?"

"Rush back?" Gu Hai sneered coldly, "With the surrounding area being overtaken by all these swamps, how are we going to get out? You had to pull me over, and now that I'm here, who is going to pull us?"

Bai Luo Yin let out a light cough, "There were many swamps before, and you still managed to get here. What difference does it make if there's just one more swamp?"

"At that time, I was anxious so I had a lot of motivation to keep me going! But now......I don't have any motivations. I only want to lay here."

Even though Gu Hai effortlessly said those words as if it was something simple, in truth, his heart was tightening with a painful twinge. He, himself, can take any risks, but he absolutely cannot let Bai Luo Yin face any danger. It was already difficult enough to have found Bai Luo Yin safe and sound as he had wished for. If in this moment they were impatient, and something were to happen on their way back, then that is definitely not worth it!

Bai Luo Yin let out a sigh as he lied on the ground with both of his arms folded underneath his head. All the while, one of his legs was bent and the other was stretched out with much satisfaction. Even though he met with misfortune and became stranded, the pilot uniform nevertheless wrapped perfectly around his entire body, making him look rather stylish, handsome and even more enticing.

"Why are you looking at me?" Bai Luo Yin threw Gu Hai a glance that was drenched with arrogance.

The entire time, Gu Hai's observant eyes were like x-rays, gazing through Bai Luo Yin's clothes at what lie beneath. Yet, he still acted decent, "Who's looking at you? You truly believe you're a piece of jade. Take a look at yourself, how many days haven't you washed your face?"

Bai Luo Yin narrowed his eyes and faintly retorted with question, "You fucking have the balls to ask me how many days haven't I washed my face? You should actually take a look at a how thick the mud covering your entire body is! If I were to stab you with a knife right now, it wouldn't even reach your flesh!"

Noting that the majority of the mud on his body had completely dried up, Gu Hai mischievously patted his clothes rather vigorously a few times until their immediate surrounding was shrouded in a large layer of dry earthy dust. It only took seconds for Bai Luo Yin to choke and retreat one meter away.

In the end, when Bai Luo Yin approached the area again, Gu Hai was pouring water on his hands.

"Hey, can you not waste water so easily like that? It's already hard enough to even get a drink and you dare use it to wash your hands!!"

To Bai Luo Yin's surprise, Gu Hai stretched his hands across and emphatically wiped his face. Then, he poured more water and repeatedly wiped yet again.

The moment Gu Hai's hand touched his face, Bai Luo Yin finally realized that this fool was not using the water to wash his own hands, but instead to clean his face for him, he immediately flew into a fit of rage from the humiliation and roared on the spot.

"Is my face really that dirty?!"

"It doesn't feel as smooth as before," said Gu Hai recklessly.

Bai Luo Yin stared blankly for a few seconds first then he dropped his butt down beneath a tree and pulled out a stick of cigarette from his bag before slowly taking a drag of it.
