In the quiet, humid mountain forest, a few muffled sounds could be heard amid the noisy chirping of insects, startling the few birds that were hunting for food in the forest.
The bottom of the mountain was piled with snow. As the car fell down the cliff, it slammed into the rock several times, slowing it down. Then it ended up falling into snow-covered bushes.
In the short span of a few minutes, the car with grade-10 bulletproof protection slammed into the rocks of the cliff several times. The three people inside the car were gripped tightly by their safety belts as the car shook violently.
Yun Xi’s mind had originally been muddled by the drug she had been given, but after being shaken by such an extreme shock and impact, she’d woken up. Now, she felt an intense pain surge throughout her body.
The protective seatbelt was tangled on her back, and she felt as if she was being thrown off a roller coaster. She was being tossed around roughly, and the seatbelt had ensnared her so tightly that the bones in her back felt as if they were about to break from the force.
Her forehead slammed against Mu Feichi’s chest several times. She could vaguely feel his arms around her tightening, as if he was terrified that she would be flung away by the violent impact.
Her eyes were closed, and she gritted her teeth. It was not easy for her to endure being hurled around so violently, and, in the end, she was hanging in the air. The front of the car had landed headfirst in some bushes and stopped in the snow.
Pain, dizziness, and a wave of nausea from the collision hit her.
This was the first time in her life that she had experienced a car accident while she was half-awake. With her eyes closed, her sense of fear and the threat of death had been magnified, and it made her shiver from head to toe.
“Babe…” Mu Feichi’s deep voice could be heard. It was unknown if he was injured, but there was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
MMM… Opening her eyes, Yun Xi looked up at the man who was close to her. There was no light in the car, so she couldn’t see his face clearly, but she could feel his anxiety. “Don’t move. Are you hurt?”
“My back hurts, but I’m otherwise fine…” Even though there was still a burning sensation in her body, she had already been shaken into her normal consciousness. Combined with the pain in her back, she had more or less suppressed the uncontrollable arousal in her body that had been induced by the aphrodisiac.
“How are you? Are you hurt?” When she came back to her senses, she reached out to touch the man above her. They were hanging in the air, and neither of them was in a good state.
“I’m okay.” Mu Feichi raised one hand and slowly reached for the light button on the car roof to turn on the lights.
After he turned on the lights, he saw that the airbag that had popped out from the driver’s seat was covering Fenghuang Niao in the front seat. At this moment, she had fainted, and her whole body was secured in the seat with the safety belt.
“Niao…” he called softly, “Niao, wake up…”
Seeing that she did not respond, Mu Feichi lowered his eyes to look at Yun Xi, who was in his arms, and took a deep breath. “We have to get out quickly. I’ll unbuckle my seatbelt. You get out first, and I’ll get Niao out.”
“Okay…” Yun Xi nodded. Under the lights, she watched as he struggled to unbuckle his seatbelt. As soon as he’d succeeded, his back relaxed, and the two of them fell onto the partition in the middle.
Mu Feichi moved quickly to cushion her and bent his legs to control his body, reducing the force of the impact.
Yun Xi stood up with great difficulty and reached out to open the car door. When Mu Feichi had unbuckled the seatbelt, the car door was already unlocked. She pushed the door open and climbed out in a hurry.
“Niao…” Mu Feichi leaned against the front passenger seat and shook the unconscious Fenghuang Niao in the driver’s seat. He called her name several times before she finally woke up.
“Ah…it hurts…” Fenghuang Niao let out a low cry as she became aware of her surroundings.
