Qianyuan: My crew comes from the world of anime.

"Three hours have passed... How long is that bastard Alo supposed to leave me in the submarine?!"

She kicked the door of the return capsule in frustration.

Luo Tianming once told her that once he entered the return capsule and completed the decompression, the lights here would turn green, at which point Levi would need to press the button to open the door.

"..."

But no matter how long she waited, the light never turned green.

At first, he could pass the time by cleaning his beloved gun. But gradually, it became more and more boring... There was nothing inside the submarine except for the noise of the equipment operating.

If she stayed like this for a long time, Levi felt she would definitely get sick.

She rested her head against the door of the return capsule...

In a daze, she seemed to hear the sound of the return capsule draining water?

"Huh? That bastard... he's finally back!"

"If he doesn't explain why he's been delayed for so long, I'm going to punch him so hard he can't get out of bed!"

"..."

However, a sudden 'thump!' sound came from inside the return capsule, startling Levi.

The sound was anything but ordinary, and there was no other noise after that one sound, which indicated that it was not an invasion by foreign enemies.

Levi: "..."

That would very likely mean that something happened to Luo Tianming!

She suddenly felt her legs go weak, and hoped in her heart that it wouldn't be the worst possible outcome.

As she waited anxiously, the moment the return capsule door turned from red to green, Levi immediately pressed the button to open the door.

What appeared before her was Luo Tianming, who had already collapsed.

"Hey...! Don't scare me, Alo."

Levi stepped forward and removed Luo Tianming's mask, revealing a pale face underneath.

Her heart felt as if struck by lightning, and for a moment she stopped breathing.

But immediately afterward, Levi pressed herself against Luo Tianming's chest... Her heart was still beating, but so weakly it seemed as if it might stop at any moment.

There's still hope!

Levi made a quick assessment and unfastened his diving suit, finding him ice-cold. She dragged Luo Tianming to an open area where there was plenty of oxygen and the temperature was gradually rising.

Levi touched his eyelids again. His pupils were not dilated, but his reaction to light was quite sluggish, indicating that he was now in a coma.

Coma caused by hypoxia is usually fatal. Insufficient oxygen supply to the head can cause irreversible damage, leading to the brainstem losing control of the body. Heart, lung, and kidney failure (the three failures) are the main causes of death.

"..."

Levi didn't understand this, but she had seen movies: for anyone who is unconscious, all you need to do is give them artificial respiration!

She held her breath in her mouth and kissed Luo Tianming on the lips.

"..."

And so, in his unconscious state, he didn't even have a chance to savor the kiss.

Levi pried open his mouth and forcefully passed air into his mouth...

After getting up, she immediately pressed her face against Luo Tianming's chest to listen to his heartbeat.

Thump thump~ thump thump... The heart rate, which was less than 40 beats per minute, gradually returned to normal.

Unintentionally, Revy performed the first aid correctly.

She was overjoyed!

But as she continued to look at that lifeless face, Levi's heart sank again.

She tentatively grasped Luo Tianming's hand... It was so cold it was practically dead. For some reason, Levi felt a pang of sadness; she was completely devoid of her usual bossy demeanor.

Perhaps thinking about the loneliness she would feel if Luo Tianming died, Levi was determined not to let him leave her.

"..."

In fact, as long as his heartbeat, breathing and blood pressure returned to normal, Luo Tianming was basically out of danger.

The only more troublesome one left is hypothermia. Once the body temperature is too low, blood flow will slow down, which will lead to the risk of blood clots forming in the blood vessels, commonly known as 'thrombosis'.

Levi still didn't understand this, but she knew very well that when it's cold, you should light a fire to keep warm.

She found a blanket and moved Luo Tianming to a slightly warmer cabin next to her.

"..."

Even wrapped in a blanket, Luo Tianming's body temperature did not rise, and his hands and feet gradually began to stiffen.

Levi looked at his pale, bluish palm, as if she had made a decision.

She muttered to herself, "Fine... I owe you, you bastard!!! Once you're better, you'll make it up to me tenfold!"

Luo Tianming: "..."

Watching the body gradually lose its warmth, Levi crawled into the blanket, then untied her tactical vest, revealing what she 'thought' was not much to look at.

She shyly covered her chest with her hands. Due to frequent training and fighting, Levi's upper body appeared extremely alluring... Her abdomen, without an ounce of excess fat, had the slight curve of abdominal muscles, extending downwards to extremely taut deltoid muscles.

The transition area upwards to the ribs transforms into undulating mountains.

Her shape is a typical 'inverted jade bowl'. Because she has almost no fat and her inside is almost entirely glands, she is always upturned and never sags.

Especially when paired with her wheat-colored skin, the fine sweat on her skin creates an oily, almost glossy sheen...

Aside from that, she never noticed that she had almost model-like collarbones and waistlines.

Of course, if Luo Tianming were to name the most captivating feature of her, it would definitely be her straight, shapely legs peeking out from under her hot pants.

"..."

Well-trained, toned thighs without any sagging or excess fat are a man's most precious treasure.

Because of her frequent training and fighting, Levi's legs have developed a beautiful curve, and the muscles under her skin are quite firm, resulting in a slight inward indentation in her leg shape.

Although the texture isn't entirely soft, well-defined muscles are more elastic and alluring... To be more specific, you can look at the bodies of beach volleyball and track and field athletes. Without deliberate training or shaping, they can develop captivating curves from their hips to their ankles.

Such beautiful legs, even without stockings, are an aesthetic in themselves.

In addition, Revy always liked to wear tight denim shorts. Therefore, when she was going up and down the suspension ladder, facing her rounded curves in her shorts, Luo Tianming didn't know where to look.

"..."

Levi writhed in the blanket for a while before tossing her tactical vest and hot pants outside. Her face was now flushed red.

Then, she placed Luo Tianming's cold hands on her stomach and hugged his waist tightly.

Levi rested her chin on his chest and muttered softly, "This doesn't count, this doesn't count!"

"...Once you get better, I'm going to make you pay double for what you've already paid."

"So, you have to wake up... understand?"

Luo Tianming: "..."

Little did he know he was about to encounter such a sensual scene. In his unconscious state, he felt as if he had entered a cold storage room, and could only crawl into whatever was warm.

As the body heat gradually warmed my fingers, they began to instinctively seek out warmer places.

At first, she was pleased with Luo Tianming's slight reaction, but soon his cold fingers traced across her lower abdomen and continued to move backward.

Revy: "Hey! You bastard~~ You...you where are you touching—!?"

"..."

Levi: "Stop, stop now... No! I can't stop, I can't stop, where are you touching!"

Luo Tianming's fingers lingered only in the gaps and protrusions for a moment before continuing to venture deeper.

In desperation, Revy used her legs to clamp her hands with a force powerful enough to snap wrists, but this only made things worse.

Fingers that can't go anywhere else can only keep warm where they are.

Revy: "No, that's not right! It is indeed very warm in there, but that's the 'exit,' not the 'entrance'!!"

"Alo, you were actually awake a while ago, weren't you?!"

Luo Tianming: "..."

His consciousness entered a very strange state. He could clearly perceive everything around him, but fatigue and the brain's protective mechanism against the body prevented him from taking control of his body.

The limbs are controlled only by the most basic instincts...

Therefore—the kneading motion applied to Revy's buttocks was merely a conditioned reflex…it was definitely not a deep-seated desire in his mind!!!

Hmm, probably not...

"..."

And so, they spent their second day in Europa's ocean in yet another embrace and sleep.

Chapter 14 The Real Treasure

In a daze, Luo Tianming felt as if he had a very nice dream.

In his dream, he kneaded the dough vigorously; the dough was not only large but also had a very good feel to it.

"..."

It was incredibly elastic; with each press, it almost overflowed from between his fingers. The most amazing thing was that the more he kneaded the dough, the more it multiplied, gradually increasing from two to four—two on top, two on the bottom… He could barely hold it all in his hands.

However, the dough also has two drawbacks: there are two hard lumps in the center that cannot be pressed down no matter what, and they become harder and harder as they are kneaded.

"..."

In his 'dream,' Luo Tianming's sense of pride as a northerner was ignited.

How can someone who can't even knead dough properly call themselves a northerner...?

So, let's get our hands on it!

Just as he was pinching and squeezing those two lumps of dough—

Awakened by the pain, Levi elbowed Luo Tianming so hard that he passed out!

"Hey! You bastard—it hurts so much!"

"..."

Three minutes later, he groggily woke up, clutching his chest.

The first thing Luo Tianming did after sitting up was to check himself. He was still wearing the same dark gray waterproof military uniform, confirming that he was still on Europa.

It seems that it wasn't all just a dream...

In the short time he was stunned, Levi had already dressed herself. Luo Tianming had no idea what was happening before Levi tapped him on the head with the butt of her gun.

"Alo...do you even remember what terrible thing you did?"

"..."

Luo Tianming had no idea what he had done to force Levi to use the triad-specific trilled tongue.

He could only ask Revy, bewildered, "What did I do? I only remember entering the submarine's return capsule... but the oxygen was gone, and then I remember passing out."

"Did you drag me out, Levi?"

Seeing that he seemed genuinely unaware, Levi didn't want to bring up those embarrassing things again, and guiltily rubbed her chest.

"Tsk, you don't seem to be faking it. I saved your life... Remember that, you'd better make it up to me double."

"It's all your fault for insisting on going out of the capsule! Not only did you not get any treasure, but you almost lost your life! Don't make decisions so rashly next time!!"

"..."

Did he save his own life?

Luo Tianming keenly sensed that something seemed amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it...

Suddenly, he smelled a fragrance coming from the palm of his hand.

Luo Tianming put his right hand in front of his nose and sniffed... The smell was somewhat familiar, as if he had smelled it somewhere before.

When Levi saw his action, her face suddenly turned bright red!
