His heart was filled with grievance as he heaved a long sigh.

After catching his breath, Xi Wanting followed him with big strides.

This accident had caused her to lose everything. She wanted to ask for help, but she didn't even have a phone.

Was he really going to walk out of the vast desert step by step?

Seeing that Long Lin did not have any intentions of contacting the outside world, a look of doubt flashed across Xi Wanting's face.

But now, Long Lin was her only hope.

Because the Xi Family was cold and heartless, and also because Xi Wanting didn't pay any attention to her, Long Lin really didn't want to bother with her anymore. However, the moment he saw Xi Wanting's face that was almost the same as Wan Rou, Long Lin could not be ruthless.

Although Long Lin had already slowed down, Xi Wanting, who had never traveled in the desert before, was still unable to keep up.

With hatred in her heart, it was hard for her to continue being gentle.

Although Long Lin could not stand by and watch his die, he no longer had any intention to show mercy.

In the light, Xi Wanting was already staggering, but she still did not stop.

Xi Wanting really wanted Long Lin to stop and rest for a while, she looked forward to the back that was as straight as a blade, but she clenched her teeth and endured.

The two of them walked for nearly an hour in silence.

The desert was merciless.

Tired and thirsty, coupled with the scorching heat from the sun, Xi Wanting was unable to hold on any longer.

Long Lin was finally willing to turn around, but his eyes were so cold that it caused people to be afraid.

Xi Wanting stubbornly looked at Long Lin.

There was no explanation, no prayer.

As their four eyes met, Long Lin's heart uncontrollably softened. Because the stubbornness in her eyes, was extremely similar to Wan Rou's.

Instantly, Long Lin experienced an illusion again.

Long Lin walked over with large strides, and gently held up his beautiful face that was almost the same as Wan Rou's. His eyes were filled with gentleness, and his voice was filled with love.

"Wan Rou..."

In the midst of her gentle call, Long Lin slowly moved forward and blocked Xi Wanting's sweet lips.

The deep emotions in her eyes, and the gentle calls that sounded like water, caused Xi Wanting to uncontrollably feel a bit of heartache, and also made her forget to stop Long Lin.

With their lips touching, Xi Wanting suddenly turned and pushed him away.

Long Lin suddenly woke up.

"I'm sorry."

There was an apology in his words, but his eyes instantly turned ice-cold. It made Xi Wanting want to explain in detail what happened two years ago.

However, when he saw Long Lin's ice-cold eyes which was mixed with a biting cold hatred, Xi Wanting could only stubbornly look at Long Lin.

After a while, Long Lin shifted his gaze, took out a kettle and compressed rations from the shoulder bag, and handed them over to Xi Wanting.

"Thank you." Xi Wanting thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

But Long Lin just looked at her coldly, and then left without looking back. Twenty meters away from her, he stood as straight as a blade.

His back was so bleak that it made people's hearts ache unavoidably.

Xi Wanting took the initiative to withdraw her stubbornness and pride, and endured the pain from her feet with great difficulty. She walked over with large strides, stood in front of Long Lin and said seriously, "I'm sorry."

"Is it going to work?" Long Lin looked at Xi Wanting, and said coldly, "If sorry can be exchanged for Wan Rou, I can say a thousand words of apology to you. If this is still not enough, I can say that I'm sorry for a lifetime."

"If I can exchange for it, I'm willing to use my life to exchange for Wan Rou." Long Lin said painfully, "That's impossible, my Wan Rou will never come back."

"I …" Xi Wanting finally could not hold it in anymore.

"You don't need to comfort me, nor do you need to fabricate a story for me." Long Lin said coldly, "I wouldn't believe it either."

Long Lin's words caused him to lose the interest to explain.

Using his complicated gaze to look at Long Lin, Xi Wanting turned around and squatted on the ground, under the shade of Long Lin's body, and elegantly started to eat the compressed biscuit.

"Aren't you thirsty?" Xi Wanting asked with her back facing Long Lin.

"The water I've brought with me is only enough for one person to walk to the next source of water, and the rations are also only enough for one person to walk out of the desert." Long Lin said coldly.

Xi Wanting asked worriedly, "Then what do we do?"

"You don't have to worry, since I've chosen to take you out, I won't let you starve to death." Long Lin ridiculed and asked, "Big sisters who are cold-blooded like you, you should only be worried at times like this, right?"

"You …" Xi Wanting finally could not hold it in anymore, and wanted to speak out everything that had happened that year in one go, but the moment the words reached her mouth, they became filled with pride once more. "Yes, I am just a cold-blooded young mistress of a thousand gold, don't you regret saving me? There's still time to regret it. "

"I'm not you." Long Lin said coldly, "I have a bottom line and a principle."

"What's your bottom line? "And what is the principle?" Xi Wanting could not help but ask.

"Every injustice has its owner. I won't let a single one of the people who caused Wan Rou's death go." Long Lin said hatefully, "You are not the main culprit behind Wan Rou's death. To me, you are merely a passerby.

Xi Wanting was silent.

After a long while, he asked, "How long do we need to walk out of here?"

"I will bring you along with me in seven days. At the very least, I will double your power."

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you down. Don't worry, once we're out of the desert, I will definitely repay you for saving my life."

"I won't take the money from your Xi Family. This way, I can peacefully take revenge for Wan Rou without being affected by the kindness of my heart."

Xi Wanting still wanted to say something, but in the end, her lips only moved, and did not make any sound.

"Wait here." Long Lin suddenly said coldly.

Before Xi Wanting could react, Long Lin had already shot out like a cheetah, his speed far surpassing that of the hundred meter world champion.

Xi Wanting looked at Long Lin with a puzzled expression. After rushing out for about fifty meters, Long Lin suddenly threw out his sharp military dagger.

Long Lin walked over in large strides and pulled out the military dagger that had sunk deeply into the sand.

On the dagger, there was a seven inch long snake.

Under Xi Wanting's unblinking gaze, Long Lin used the dagger to cut off the snake head, and aimed the snake body at its mouth. Scarlet blood surged out from the snake body, staining Long Lin's lips and teeth red.

Drinking blood.

Xi Wanting could not help but have a strong urge to vomit.

But once he thought about how it was because of her, Xi Wanting suppressed the churning emotions in his stomach and didn't allow himself to vomit.

After drinking the snake blood, Long Lin peeled off the entire snake skin, used his sharp dagger to cut off a large piece of the snake meat, and started to chew.

In order to prevent himself from vomiting and wasting the precious water and compressed biscuits that Long Lin had saved up, Xi Wanting had no choice but to retract his gaze.

Long Lin was still gorging himself, but Xi Wanting had quietly sunk into deep thought.

What kind of person was he?

She was heartbroken and frighteningly cold.

When he was filled with hatred, he was simply a vicious beast from the Ancient Desolation. Yet, he was also so kind and selfless. From start to finish, he did not drink a single mouthful of water or eat a single mouthful of rations.

Oh right, there was still that miraculous healing ability. What was going on?

Mysterious man, unfathomable man.
