Chapter 1057

“Uncle! Uncle, where are you?” Baili Xia stood on the edge of the cliff, facing the wind, and called out loudly.

All pretenses and anger were completely forgotten.

At this moment, she had only one thought—to find Uncle and bring him back safely.

“Uncle! Uncle, where are you? Please come back, Uncle…”

The mountain wind was really strong, especially by the cliff’s edge.

The moment Baili Xia’s voice left her mouth, it was immediately scattered by the wind.

How could it carry?

Uncle, where on Earth was he?

This deep cliff; she couldn’t see him at all…

Her eyes heated up, her nose tingled, and her heart grew even more fearful.

“Uncle, Uncle… I beg you, please come back!”

“I’m not thirsty, I don’t want to drink any water, Uncle…”

He couldn’t possibly be gone for so long.

Could something accidental have really happened?

If something really happened, and no one knew…

God, the scenes in her own mind were about to scare her to death!

Uncle… No, she couldn’t keep waiting like this; it would drive her insane!

She took off the coat Mu Xiaojiu had put on her, and, barefoot, she edged her feet out toward the cliff.

She only meant to test it but found that this side of the cliff was even harder to climb than she had imagined.

It was really difficult to get down.

But if something had happened to Uncle…

The thought of the dangers Mu Xiaojiu might have encountered made her unwilling to continue with those thoughts; tilting her body, she began to climb down, mimicking the posture she had learned during training.

“What are you doing?” Suddenly, a voice, deep and rich with anger, called out from below.

Uncle’s voice…

Baili Xia’s heart trembled, immense joy instantly filling her body.

The person below was climbing up rapidly.

She hadn’t even gotten a chance to clearly see his figure when she suddenly felt her waist tighten, and she was embraced and lifted up by him again.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them were firmly back on the cliff’s top.

“Uncle… Uh—” Baili Xia had no chance to speak; as soon as she opened her mouth, something was pressed to her lips.

Water… She was forced to gulp down several mouthfuls!

He was very angry; such fury that even without him saying a word, every living thing around could feel it.

Those few mouthfuls of water, Baili Xia managed to swallow.

Only when he was sure she had drunk enough did Mu Xiaojiu withdraw his hand from her lips.

Suddenly, with a swing of his broad hand, he smacked the broad leaf filled with water onto the ground.

The spray of water instantly splashed in all directions.

“What were you doing just now?” The man’s angry voice rose again, his five fingers already tightly clenched, even the knuckles popping.

This infuriating woman—she had actually dared to climb down the cliff!

Who gave her such courage?

Did she not care about her life at all?

Didn’t she know she was carrying a child, and even walking was scary for fear of falling?

Even if she were in perfect condition, in the middle of the night, everywhere pitch-black, she didn’t have the capability to climb down from here.

And especially not in this situation!

Did she even know what she was doing?

Even if capricious, even if throwing a tantrum, she mustn’t joke with her own life!

If he had returned a few minutes later, she…

His fingers clenched again; just thinking about what could have happened tore at his heart painfully.

The pain made even breathing seem extremely difficult.

This woman!

This infuriating woman!
