Yuan Ni never expected Shao Xia to attack him. His eyes went wide with shock as he fell into the heavy current of the stream.
"Save me!" Yuan Ni tried to swim back up, but because Shao Xia had attacked him with her totem energy, it made it difficult for him to break through the surface. The flow of her totem energy had disrupted the flow of his own, which made him as vulnerable as someone who had no totem within their body. His head bobbed up and down as he tried to swim his way out of the violent waters. "Save…hah…save me." He shouted while looking at Shao Xia. She had once saved his life; certainly, she would do it all over again, right? She didn't mean to hurt him just now—she definitely didn't mean to hurt him. She would come to save him; he trusted her—she would!
However, even when his body continued to drift down the stream over to the waterfall and Shao Xia didn't move, Yuan Ni's heart couldn't help but lurch to his throat. He parted his lips and shouted, "Shao Xia!"
