Chapter 1285: In Love With This World Because of Her
Editor: Atlas Studios
A few minutes later, the view in front of her widened. Shi Qian immediately stuck her head out of her clothes.
Her body was still cut a few times by the leaves. It was spicy and painful.
It was the same feeling as rubbing salt in your wound.
She touched the area where the leaves had cut her. There was no wound. Perhaps it was because of the intense stimulation to her skin that she felt like she had been cut by a knife.
She had Arthur protecting her all the way and had even been cut a few times. It was extremely uncomfortable. Arthur only had a singlet on his upper body. He must feel as uncomfortable as being dismembered!
“Are you okay?” Shi Qian asked him.
“I’m fine. Have you ever gone rock climbing?”
“I did it once when I was in college, but what I did definitely isn’t as exciting as what we’re going to face later, right?”
“It’ll be quite exciting. There’s no safety rope to protect you. If you fall, you’ll be crippled even if you don’t die.”
“You make it sound so scary. Do you still want to climb?”
“You will be ahead of me.”
“Okay.”
Shi Qian took a few steps forward and felt her feet begin to feel uncomfortable. They were all fine gravel.
The hill in front of them was not tall, but it was a little steep.
Fortunately, there were many protruding spots on the rock. In some places, it was enough for a person to stand.
It was easier for her to get up.
Arthur followed closely behind her. Sometimes, he would hold her feet to steady her. Sometimes, he would simply let her use him as a ladder.
Shi Qian stepped on a rock and exerted strength. Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet was empty. The rock broke under her foot, and she immediately lost her balance.
Arthur grabbed her waist. His one hand was gripping the stone tightly while the other was holding Shi Qian.
“Be careful. Exert some force before you step on them. Some stones are not firm.”
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Arthur held Shi Qian and let her continue climbing.
Shi Qian first stepped on his shoulder, looking for a place to land, and slowly climbed up.
It was only when he climbed to the middle that the terrain calmed down.
Shi Qian could already climb up on her own.
The two of them stopped to rest.
Shi Qian’s stamina was almost exhausted.
Gunshots kept coming from below. Moreover, the clansmen on the island were alarmed. There was the light of torches everywhere.
“Arthur, they won’t hurt the people on the island, will they?” Shi Qian asked worriedly.
Arthur looked at Shi Qian. In the moonlight, he saw the worry in her eyes.
He had not thought about this question at all.
This kind of thing was never within his consideration.
As for the funding of the island, it was only for the sake of developing the power of the South Coves. It was not mixed with any personal feelings.
In this world, there was almost nothing that could affect Arthur’s personal emotions.
“You’ve only known them for a day. Why are you so concerned about them?”
“Everyone would be so worried, okay? If those people really take their anger out on them and it’s us who caused it, don’t you feel guilty at all?”
“Shi Qian, what about those who died in my heart? Do I have to feel guilty too?” “I was stupid. How can I talk to you about human instincts?”
“Why can’t we talk about it? These two words have independent meanings to me. Literally.”
Shi Qian was even more speechless.
“To think that I still think that you’re a good person after sending supplies to the people on the island and getting someone to treat them. I thought you still had a conscience! You’re actually such a person! Everything is for benefits!” “When did I become the kind of person you think I am? If I’m a good person, why are you by my side?”
Shi Qian was speechless again.
However, she was really worried about the people on the island!
