Lu Yeming did not appreciate her help at all.
Even so, Jun Xiqing wasn’t bothered at all, her eyes crinkling into a smile. “West Duke, as long as you’re happy.”
When he saw her beautiful smile, Lu Yeming only sneered back at her.
“Hurry up, go inside and search the place, we must find the assassin!” Murong Fu’s voice could be heard.
“Master, what should we do now?” Fan Men asked.
A handsome figure appeared. “Follow me.”
Lu Yeming and Jun Xiqing turned back to look, it was Murong Ling!
…
Everyone left the Linyuan Stage and entered the forest. “My father will be coming for you in no time, I can only help you this much.”
“Master!”
Fan Men was stunned, seeing Lu Yeming kneeling on one knee, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Tsk tsk.” Murong Ling shook his head. “The toxic gas has invaded your bloodstream. West Duke, if you insist on doing something you know you clearly shouldn’t, you have to bear the consequences of your own actions.”
Lu Yeming wiped away the blood around the corners of his lips, his expression dark and thunderous. He lifted his eyes, glancing at Murong Ling.
In an instant, Murong Ling fell silent.
“Hurry up and chase after them, the assassin can’t possibly escape that quickly. Search the forest!” Murong Fu brought with him an army, chasing up to them.
“My father is here,” Murong Ling said.
“Master, I’ll take our men with me and draw Murong Fu away. In the meantime, you can leave together with Third Prince,” Fan Men suggested.
“No way,” Lu Yeming said.
“Master!”
Lu Yeming gave Fan Men a glance. “Do you still treat me as your master?”
Fan Men instantly knelt down before Lu Yeming.
They heard a pleasant voice. “I’ll draw the army away.”
Lu Yeming lifted his head, looking at Jun Xiqing.
As Jun Xiqing walked over, she bent over and her eyes met with his and she smiled. “West Duke, I’ll be in charge of drawing the army away.”
The corners of Lu Yeming’s lips raised, pinning her with a piercing gaze. “You take me as a fool? You’re thinking of escaping.”
“This is a fair deal. I’ll be drawing the army away and if I manage to survive, I’ll escape and never come back,” Jun Xiqing sounded calm as she said.
Lu Yeming glared at her, his eyes turning bloodshot.
Lowering her eyes, Jun Xiqing’s fingers touched the Red Spider Lily in his palm. “Everyone has to make a choice. In one hand is a life mission and responsibility while on the other hand, it’s love. No one has the right to criticize you for whatever decision you make. I’m constantly making choices too. I’m going to save your life so that we can have world peace.”
She leaned forward, kissing his pale lips.
“Oh my god!”
Murong Ling quickly turned around, covering his mouth. Even now he was fed dog food[1] forcibly and so suddenly without any warning!
Fan Men instantly lowered his head, he didn’t dare look.
She kissed him.
Lu Yeming didn’t close his eyes, she could feel her soft lips on his, her tongue was out. So he opened his mouth, letting her tongue in.
With furrowed brows, his breathing turned heavier and kissed her passionately. He used so much force that she started bleeding.
The faint bloody scent filled their breaths. Stretching out his arm, he wanted to hold her hand.
But he hadn’t managed to.
Jun Xiqing pushed him away, getting up and she moved backward. She continued moving backward, shouting loudly as she did, “Hey, General Murong, I’m here!”
Her voice echoed through the forest.
“There! I hear some sounds, hurry!”
The army rushed over in her direction.
Jun Xiqing took one last glance of Lu Yeming and she gave him a smile before whistling.
Howl~
It was the sound of a wolf.
“Wolf! The wolf has come!”
Someone gasped before shouting out loudly.
Lu Yeming lifted his head, a wolf had come. The wolf was as tall as a human, with a full body of fur and its eyes were murderous, making one fear it instinctively.
“Oh god!” Murong Ling staggered backward.
Everyone assumed that the wolf would attack them, but the next moment, they were all stupefied.
The wolf walked over to Jun Xiqing, settling down beside her. Howl~
It was unbelievable. In her presence, the ferocious wolf behaved like an obedient pet in Jun Xiqing’s presence. Within moments, Jun Xiqing got on the wolf’s back, the moonlight shining on her and she was gorgeous in her white dress.
“West Duke, Third Prince, let’s hope… we don’t meet each other ever again!”
Howl~
Jun Xiqing rode on the wolf’s back, leaving the place.
“There! The assassin is there, chase after the assassin!” Murong Fu ordered and the army chased after Jun Xiqing.
…
It was quiet.
At least, it was finally quiet. It seemed Jun Xiqing had managed to draw the army away.
“Master.” Fan Men looked at Lu Yeming carefully.
Lu Yeming clenched his fists tightly, with furrowed brows, no one could fathom his thoughts. He was surrounded in a dark, menacing aura.
Let’s hope we don’t meet each other ever again.
She really was cool, leaving just like that, without giving a damn.
Ha.
The corners of Lu Yeming’s lips curved into a sardonic smile. She really thought… she would be able to leave?
…
The army was still chasing after Jun Xiqing as she rode the wolf, escaping in the forest at night.
She didn’t feel cold at all. As she had grown up in the grasslands, she absolutely loved the feeling of being able to run around freely.
Soon, they reached a cliff.
There wasn’t anywhere else to go.
“Stop running, you can’t escape!”
The army stopped and Murong Fu walked over.
Once Murong Fu saw it was Jun Xiqing instead, his expression changed. “Why is it you? Who are you? Where’s West Duke?”
Jun Xiqing was riding on the wolf’s back. “General Murong, it doesn’t matter who I am. This was to draw you away from West Duke, you’ve fallen into a trap.”
“F*ck! How could we let West Duke escape!” Murong Fu cursed, “I’m going to bring you back first! Someone take her away!”
Hearing Murong Fu’s orders, the army stepped forward, pulling out their guns.
They weren’t afraid of just a mere wolf.
Oh? Jun Xiqing sneered. Taking a flute out, she blew on it with astounding grace. Melodic tunes echoed throughout the forest, the most alluring sounds drifting through the darkness of the night.
Howl~
Hundreds of wolves appeared from the darkness, shaking their tails and revealing sharp, dangerous teeth. They stood in front of Jun Xiqing, protecting her.
Hiss.
Everyone gasped. T-This was… really unimaginable, it really was too shocking! Murong Fu’s face was stiff. This was an ancient skill. Impossible… She was a wolf whisperer!
A gust of cold wind blew over and the veil covering Jun Xiqing’s face fell, revealing her face. As she stood by the cliff, wearing a white dress and her hair flowing behind her, she really was an ethereal beauty.
Everyone looked at her in a faded stupor, she had taken everyone’s breaths away.
