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

Of course, the lion did not want to eat Joysa as she said. It just stubbornly pushed the branch in Joysa's direction.

A branch hit Qiao Yisha's face. She pushed it away helplessly, feeling hopeless: "What on earth are you going to do?"

The lion nudged the branch with his nose, then nudged Xia Zi, and looked at Qiaosha.

Qiao Yisha looked at it for a few seconds, and said incredulously: "Could it be..."

She picked up the branch and found that green juice was oozing out from the broken part. It smelled a bit bitter and felt cool to the touch.

The lion snorted a little louder, as if to say that you finally understood.

Joysa immediately dropped some on the wound on her hand and found that the pain was suddenly reduced.

She looked at the lion, not knowing why it would take the initiative to find medicine to save Xia Zi, nor did she know whether this would work, but now she had to try.

Xia Zi's wound was wrapped in a bandage, so Qiaosha carefully unwrapped it layer by layer, squeezed the green juice on it, and then re-bandaged it.

After treating Xia Zi's wound, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain to apply it on herself.

Sure enough, the pain in the place where the medicine was applied became less and less severe after a while, and I even felt cool all over my body, and the dizziness was much less.

"It seems to be really useful, thank you." Joysa looked at the lion and felt that he understood.

Xia Zi's face and forehead were still a little hot, but at least she was no longer shaking and looked much more comfortable.

The lion walked over to Xia Zi and lay down, using his strong front legs to push the person against his thick hair. Then, as if a little uncomfortable, he turned his head and lay on his other front leg to look to the other side.

Qiaosha immediately understood and adjusted Xia Zi's sleeping position so that she leaned completely on the lion and absorbed his warmth.

After doing all this, Qiaosha sat in the corner, touched her bare arms, and gave her coat to Xia Zi. The temperature dropped with the rain, and the cold gradually came.

The lion raised his eyelids, snorted twice and looked at Joysa.

Qiaoisa looked at it: "You mean, let me lean on you too?"

The lion hummed twice uncomfortably and closed his eyes again, as if to say, "It's up to you to lean on me or not."

Joysa immediately moved over and leaned against the lion. The cold wind was completely blocked by her. The lion's thick fur brought her warmth, and she fell asleep unknowingly.

Long Junshen has always been very efficient and he called Nangong Xianyue back the next day.

"Is there any news?"

——"Yes and no."

Nangong Xianyue frowned: "What do you mean?"

——"My people found out that a woman named Qiao Yisha appeared in a hotel in the west of Hell City two days ago, but she drove away after not staying for long."

——“Where did you go?”

Long Junshen paused for a rare moment, "The car she was driving was blown up on the edge of the cliff."

Nangong Xianyue stood up from the sofa when he heard this, his mind buzzing: "What did you say?"

"There's no body of her in the car," Long Junshen said with a 'tsk' sound, "Maybe she's still alive. Why are you in such a hurry? Hasn't she been found yet?"

"Okay, I got it. Keep looking. Just consider it as a favor to you."

"There's one more thing. I don't know if it has anything to do with her. I'll hang up first. I'll have someone take a picture of it and send it to you."

"Ah."

Nangong Xianyue held the phone tightly. Damn it, why didn’t he realize earlier that Qiao Yisha was planning to leave him there alone?

Qiu Yi, who was standing nearby, also heard the content of the phone call. Seeing Nangong Xianyue's unhappy expression, he hurriedly spoke to comfort her: "Master, Sister Yisha has always been very capable. She can even escape a bomb. She will be safe."

The phone in his hand vibrated, and Nangong Xianyue clicked on the picture sent by Long Junshen. It was a bullet shell.

"Found it on the edge of a cliff."

He recognized it immediately as the one from the gun in Joysa's hand.

cliff……

Nangong Xianyue looked at those two words and thought of that nightmare. Could it be...

Qiu Yi looked at Nangong Xianyue's solemn and pale face, and hurried forward to support him, "Master, what's wrong with you? Don't think too much, Sister Yisha will be fine, Master Long will help us find her."

Nangong Xianyue pushed his hand away and ordered in a cold voice: "Go and prepare. I want to reach the royal family of Nanzhou Kingdom as quickly as possible. Also, as for Hell City, let them continue to find a way to sneak in."

Qiu Yi opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it. "Yes, I'll go right away."

No one could persuade the head of the Nangong family to do what he wanted to do.

"Ah--" Xia Zi opened her eyes and found herself leaning against a huge lion. She let out a short cry and then covered her mouth with her hands. She shook Qiaosha in fear.

"Wake up."

Qiao Yisha opened her eyes and stared blankly: "What's wrong?"

"This..." Xia Zi looked at her nervously and signaled the lion with his eyes.

"You mean him?" Joysa tilted her head and pointed at the lion she was leaning against.

"How could we be in a cave with a lion? It would be like walking into a lion's mouth."

Qiao Yisha sat up comfortably and stretched, "How do you feel?"

Xia Zi finally reacted and felt the wound. He found that it was not so painful anymore. Except for the broken bone, all other parts were almost healed and his mind was much clearer.

"How come it gets better so quickly?"

"Hey," Joysa pointed at the lion with her chin, "thank him for finding the medicine for us."

"What?" Xia Zi couldn't believe it. "Him?"

"That's right, if it weren't for him, you would probably..." Qiaoisha didn't say anything else.

Xia Zi understood and looked at a branch not far away that had all its leaves plucked out. Green juice was still oozing out of it, which smelled very similar to the smell coming from his own wound.

The lion stood up from the ground, and its huge shadow suddenly covered them.

He shook his hair, hummed at them, looked outside the cave, and then looked at them again.

Qiao Yisha followed his gaze and found that the rain had stopped. The muddy road outside was muddy. "The rain has stopped."

The lion grunted and pushed her.

"What do you mean?" For some reason, Qiao Yisha always felt that she could guess what the beast was thinking, "You..."

Halfway through her words, she understood what the lion meant and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Are you chasing us away?"

The lion stopped moving for a moment, took a few steps back, and agreed.

“Is this cave your home?”

"Humph."

"Can you let us stay a little longer? Her leg is still injured, and we haven't eaten in who knows how long. How can we have the strength to walk?"

The lion went into the cave and came out again after a while, holding a bunch of fruit-laden branches in its mouth and dropped it at Joysa's feet.

Then he growled, as if to say, "Can you get out of here now?"

"He really can understand what people say." Xia Zi gradually let down his guard.

When Qiao Yisha saw the bunch of fruits, her eyes lit up. She immediately picked the reddest one, wiped it with her hand and handed it to Xia Zi.

Xia Zi took it and took a bite without hesitation, then immediately spat it out, his face wrinkled: "Pah pah pah...ah...so sour..."
