Chapter 17 The Wet Lolita Girl
Su Jin's expression remained grave, for there was still a ravenously hungry monster lurking outside.
If that guy manages to sneak in, a small cave won't be enough to protect them.
But he stared at the water curtain for a long time without any movement, and the noise outside seemed to have subsided.
They didn't chase after us?
Su Jin's expression gradually softened, and a new guess formed in his mind.
They probably hid, and the monster lost its target, so it stopped chasing them.
It seems these sea monsters are ultimately just ferocious beasts, not very intelligent. We can use that to deal with them later.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously patted the head of the pink-haired little girl in his arms and comforted her:
"It's alright, we should be safe for now... Hey, why are you so hot?"
Only then did he realize that Li Yuanyuan in his arms was very hot, and it felt like he was holding a big cat.
When Li Yuanyuan heard Su Jin's question, her face flushed and her body became even hotter.
She said shyly in a low voice:
"Brother Su, could you... put me down first?"
"Okay." Su Jin nodded and gently placed the adorable girl on the ground.
As soon as he let go, Li Yuanyuan almost lost her balance and fell. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed her waist, pulling her into his arms to steady her.
At this moment, Li Yuanyuan was extremely shy. Since she was a child, whenever she was shy, her body would get hot, just like a normal person having a fever.
She didn't actually have a fever; she just needed to calm down, and her temperature would go down in a little while.
But now that Su Jin is holding her, she can't calm her heart down.
Li Yuanyuan's legs are weak right now, partly because she is still scared, and partly because she has been held for too long and her legs are sore.
She leaned helplessly against Su Jin, unable to leave even though she wanted to.
However, she didn't feel much resistance and was already somewhat inclined to give up.
Seeing that the girl was leaning against him without speaking, Su Jin assumed that Li Yuanyuan had a cold and fever and was not feeling well, so he put his arm around her and found a corner deep in the cave to sit down.
The cave wasn't dark at all; on the contrary, it was quite bright.
Not only is there a crack in the center of the cave above, through which moonlight shines, but there are also some mushrooms that emit a faint blue light growing on the surrounding cave walls.
He had heard Li Yuanyuan say that her island was abundant with all kinds of fungi, and that you could find all kinds of fungi everywhere, so it was not surprising that there were fungi in this cave.
The cave is quite large, though the entrance is a bit small. We scraped our way in, but once inside, it's a completely different world.
It's about 20 square meters inside, which is a bit bigger than a typical high school dormitory.
The air quality here wasn't actually that bad, and it seemed these fungi wouldn't release spores, which reassured Su Jin somewhat.
He lowered his head, wanting to see how Li Yuanyuan was doing.
Through the cool moonlight filtering through the crack, he could clearly see that the pink-haired loli's current condition was indeed somewhat... pitiful.
She was completely soaked, and her exquisite Lolita dress clung tightly to her body.
The once fluffy skirt now clung wetly to her slender legs and waist, clearly outlining the girl's youthful and alluring curves.
The worst part was her long pink hair, which, after being soaked, became tangled in strands, some of which clung to her slightly feverish, fair neck and cheeks.
A few glistening water droplets slid slowly down her skin and into the shadows of her chest, which was tightly covered by her clothes.
The ultra-thin white stockings she wore over her knees were already soaked through with water, becoming almost transparent, tightly wrapping around her slender yet fleshy legs.
When the stockings got wet, her dazzlingly white skin underneath became faintly visible, and you could even vaguely see the outline of her rounded knees and shapely calves.
The edges of the stockings were slightly rolled up due to the struggle and dampness, revealing a small section of the absolute territory, where the skin was so white and tender that it looked like you could squeeze water out of it.
Li Yuanyuan leaned weakly and obediently against Su Jin's chest, her head slightly lowered, tiny water droplets still clinging to her pink eyelashes.
As she breathed softly, her ample breasts rose and fell, causing Su Jin to momentarily lose his composure, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
At this moment, he could clearly feel that the girl's body temperature was slowly decreasing.
So he touched the girl's forehead again, only to find that her body temperature had risen again.
Just as he was wondering, Li Yuanyuan whispered:
"Brother Su, I'm fine. I've been like this since I was little. My temperature will go down in a little while."
She paused, then lowered her voice even further.
"But... I'll feel a little weak later, so please don't laugh at me, Brother Su."
Su Jin chuckled and shook his head, saying:
"Stop laughing. If you're not feeling well, just say so. You're just weak. Just eat more good food to strengthen your body."
"Did you feel much better after having fish soup made with rare sea animal meat today?"
Speaking of this, he touched the seashell in his pocket. He hadn't forgotten to put the Thunderfish Oil in his pocket; it was the most important thing.
Hearing this, Li Yuanyuan nodded gently and thanked her:
"Yes, I feel much stronger and more energetic. I have to thank Brother Su for providing the Tier 1 rare sea beast."
"Don't be shy, the fish soup you made is also very delicious." Su Jin touched Li Yuanyuan's hair, then looked around and casually picked a mushroom that emitted a faint blue light.
"Yuanyuan, check if this mushroom is poisonous and if it's edible. If it is, I'll catch two colorful fish, which are unique to the coral reefs, tomorrow and make fish soup again."
"I've heard that freshly picked mushrooms taste the best, and the more vibrant the color, the better they taste. I've wanted to try them for a long time..."
As he was speaking, he noticed that Li Yuanyuan seemed to be stunned, so he frowned and asked:
"What's wrong? Is this stuff poisonous? Oh my god..."
Su Jin instinctively threw the thing in his hand away, but Li Yuanyuan stopped him.
"Don't throw it away, Brother Su! This is a good thing!"
She took the mushroom that emitted a faint blue light from Su Jin's hand, examined it carefully, and her expression gradually brightened with joy.
"That's right, it's Dragon Power Mushroom, exactly as described in the information in my mind."
"This fungus prefers to grow in dark and moist environments, especially requiring a large amount of water, and it must be freshwater."
"However, places with abundant fresh water are usually near streams or underground rivers, so its growing environment is not demanding, but it is difficult for ordinary people to find, making it an ingredient that can be classified as a Tier 2 rare item!"
"We were so lucky to encounter this Water Curtain Cave because it met the necessary conditions for growth!"
Su Jin raised an eyebrow, his face full of surprise.
To his surprise, this thing was actually a Tier 2 rare ingredient, which was a whole Tier 2 higher than the Lightning Electric Eel.
Good heavens, this is truly a rare find!
However, Li Yuanyuan then said with a hint of regret:
"Unfortunately, the Dragon's Streak Mushroom does not release spores. It usually grows in fixed locations or is transplanted by humans. Its growth cycle is extremely long. Once this patch is harvested, it may be gone."
Su Jin said nonchalantly:
"It's alright, isn't it enough? We'll definitely be able to have some excellent fish soup tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Li Yuanyuan nodded excitedly.
She didn't notice that her body temperature had gradually decreased because she had just shifted her attention.
Her body temperature has now returned to normal.
Just then, a cold night wind blew in through the small gap above her head, making Li Yuanyuan, who was soaked to the bone, shiver.
A chilling coldness spread throughout her body, making her tremble uncontrollably and her teeth chatter.
Fortunately, there was a source of warmth nearby, namely Su Jin, which made her instinctively hug him.
"Brother Su, can you hug me? I'm cold..."
