Saving the Second Male Lead: What to Do When You Enter a Domineering Boss's Novel

Xia Zi was drowsy and vaguely heard someone calling her. She raised her eyes with difficulty and saw a pair of red eyes. His amber pupils were full of worry and he was hugging her tightly.

These eyes...

"Your Highness..." Xia Zi felt like she was dreaming, "How could Your Highness be so nice to me..."

Qiaoisha saw her open her eyes, but before she could say anything, Xia Zi's whispers reached her ears.

She was confused: "Your Highness?"

"Your Highness, am I dead? I actually saw you... so gentle."

Qiaoisha frowned in surprise, but quickly realized that Xia Zi mistook her for someone else, perhaps the person she had always obeyed.

She considered and said, "Xia Zi, what am I to you?"

"Yes...my master, the one I must obey."

"What did I ask you to do?"

"Your Highness... let me find someone with the same eyes as you and bring her back." Xia Zi's eyes were half closed, and her voice was vague, "I found her, but I didn't do it..."

Qiao Yisha's breathing quickened slightly. She felt that she was getting closer to the truth. She swallowed and continued to ask, "Where did I ask you to take her back to?"

"Take it back...your palace..."

"Which palace?"

Xia Zi could not hear what she said, and murmured: "Your Highness... I did not betray you... Please do not hurt my family... I am willing to do anything... Please..."

Qiao Yisha was a little anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only hug her tightly and comfort her.

Outside the cave, the rain showed no sign of stopping, and the thunder rumbled, and every time it sounded it seemed to be right next to my ears.

The firelight reflected on the two people's faces, flickering, and the quiet air was occasionally filled with the sound of burning.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from far away at the cave entrance, but they did not sound like human footsteps. Joysa felt that they were familiar.

Suddenly her eyes widened. She had heard this sound of footsteps before. These were the footsteps of Xiaobai and Blizzard.

It's a beast.

Qiao Yisha became alert all of a sudden, and kept shaking Xia Zi in her arms, calling her softly, "Wake up, Xia Zi, if you don't wake up, we will die..."

Joysa lowered her head and patted her face, and suddenly she felt that the light at the entrance of the cave was completely blocked, and the cave was completely dark.

Joysa stiffened and turned her head slowly. A huge lion slowly walked in from the cave entrance, with rain dripping from its body. It lowered its eyes and looked at the two people in the cave.

Qiaosha hugged Xia Zi tightly, her fingers trembling slightly. She was not killed by the bomb, nor by falling off the cliff. She thought she was lucky, but now she was going to be bitten to death by a wild beast?

Qiaosha was injured and couldn't run away, let alone Xia Zi, who had difficulty even standing up. There was no doubt that the strength gap between the two sides was huge.

The lion seemed to pause when it saw Joysa's face, and then continued walking into the cave, calmly as if it didn't see them.

Seeing it getting closer, Joysa took out a dagger from her backpack and held it in her hand to give herself courage. She thought that even if she knew she was going to die, she still wanted to struggle.

As the lion came in front of them, Joysa's heart beat faster and faster, for she was afraid that it would suddenly pounce on her with its bloody mouth open.

Unexpectedly, the beast in front of them walked right past them, then lay down not far from them, resting its head on its front legs and looking at them.

What was going on? Qiao Yisha was puzzled, but at the same time she was relieved. As long as they didn't attack them, everything would be fine.

Even so, she still felt insecure. Who knew when the lion would get angry?

She carefully put down the dagger and gently pushed Xia Zi, fearing that the noise would be too loud and alarm it.

Xia Zi was still running a fever, her cheeks were red, and she was lying unconscious in Qiao Yisha's arms.

Qiaosha was afraid that Xia Zi's life would be in danger if this continued, so she took out some water and gave her another drink, then wiped Xia Zi's forehead, palms, and neck with alcohol again.

The lion just lay there and looked at them quietly, seemingly having no intention of attacking anyone.

Xia Zi in his arms was shaking even more violently, his whole body was burning hot, his cheeks were red, and his teeth were chattering with a slight sound.

"Xia Zi, don't scare me. It wasn't so bad when I just woke up..." Qiao Yisha opened her backpack and rummaged through it trying to find something useful.

But contrary to expectations, those things were of no use to Xia Zi who had a fever.

Qiaoisha could only keep feeding her water, but soon the last half bottle of water was gone and Xia Zi was still unconscious.

Just as Joysa was racking her brains to find a solution and completely forgot that there was a lion lying not far away, it slowly stood up.

Joysa looked up suddenly and remembered that there was a lion in the cave.

It walked slowly towards us, its golden eyes looking this way.

Qiao Yisha drew out her dagger and pointed the tip of the knife at the lion with a fierce look in her eyes, trying to scare it away. "Don't come over, or I will fight you to the death."

The lion didn't seem to take it seriously and walked straight closer, lowering his head and getting closer to Xia Zi.

At the same time, Joysa's breathing became lighter, cold sweat continued to flow from her forehead, and the lion's golden hair almost brushed her face.

Joysa thought that the lion was going to smell blood and open its mouth to eat Xia Zi, so she raised the dagger in her hand high and was about to stab it into the lion's neck.

The lion raised his head and walked out.

Joysa looked at its tall and oppressive figure in confusion.

Don't know when it will come back again.

Qiaoisha calmed herself down, wrapped Xia Zi in clothes, and wanted to take her away from here first.

He put on the backpack, then struggled to put Xia Zi's arm on his shoulders, half dragged and half lifted her up. The wound on her body was pulled so hard that her breathing stagnated and she almost let go.

"God, please, spare us," Qiao Yisha gritted her teeth and walked towards the cave entrance. Xia Zi on her shoulder closed her eyes, "Please bless us to leave this damn place as soon as possible."

The more she suffered, the deeper Joysa's hatred for the person behind the scenes became. This person who had never appeared from beginning to end actually forced her to this point.

When she was a few steps away from the cave entrance, a shadow suddenly covered her head and Joysa had a bad feeling.

Slowly looking up, it was the tall and mighty lion from before.

Qiaoisha dragged Xia Zi back a few steps.

"Young Master, the Kingdom of Nanzhou has replied." Qiu Yi walked into the spacious and luxurious study and reported to the handsome and noble man in the study.

"explain."

"Queen Maurice said that she was busy with state affairs and was not feeling well, so she could not entertain the distinguished guests. She will come to Firth Garden to visit in person when she has time in the future."

Nangong Xianyue frowned slightly, he couldn't find any fault with this reason.

"Master, if you can't go to Nanzhou, you won't be able to find out about Sister Yisha."

Nangong Xianyue looked at him, waiting for his next words.

"I heard that Young Master Long Jun Shenlong is trapped in Hell City and cannot return to Dongzhou for the time being. Can we ask him for help?"

"Is he still in Hell City?" Nangong Xianyue immediately dialed the phone.

——"Nangong Xianyue, you called at the right time, do me a favor." The man's magnetic voice was filled with suppressed anger.

——"I just happen to need your help with something."

Long Junshen said directly: "We'll talk about your business later. Is there any way to help me get out of this damn place? If I know who has the guts to trap me here, I will skin him alive."

Nangong Xianyue chuckled: "We have the same goal."

——"What, you're trapped here too?"

——"It's not me, it's my wife."

Long Junshen frowned: "Are you sick again?" Didn't his wife...

Since they worked together to resolve the issue of Elder Dongzhou, the two of them have reconciled their past grudges. Their relationship has been pretty good over the past few years. He knew something about Nangong Xianyue's past suffering from "complex grief disorder."

——"I am awake now. My wife is trapped in Hell City. My people can't get in, so I would like to ask you to help look for her."

——"Are you kidding? Where did you get your wife?"

——"I will send you her photo later. If nothing unexpected happens, she is still there. As for what you asked me to help with, you should be able to see that it will be a problem for me to get in."

Long Junshen cursed in a low voice, "Got it, I'll help you keep an eye out. As for the person behind this, you can check him out. You dare to delay me from going home to reunite with my wife and children. You are really courting death."

"Ah."

Nangong Xianyue hung up the phone and sent Qiao Yisha's photo. Long Junshen frowned at first, then replied with a question mark.

"?"

"I found a stand-in who looks pretty good."

Nangong Xianyue put away her usual cynicism and asked in a serious tone: "It's a long story, please do me a favor. If you have anything to say, just ask. As long as the Nangong family can do it, we will do our best."

Long Junshen: "No need. Please help me keep an eye on the Long family while I'm away."

-

"Why did you come back again?"

Of course the lion couldn't answer her, but just slowly approached, and then threw a branch in its mouth into Joysa's mouth.

What does that mean? Do you have to find side dishes before eating them?

Joysa stared at it carefully and slowly backed away.

The lion grunted impatiently, picked up the branch again and threw it at Joysa's feet.

Qiao Yisha had completely lost her strength at this time. She sat down on the ground with Xia Zi, panting against the cold and damp wall. "I don't care what you want to do. If you want to eat us, just eat us. I don't have the strength to run away."
