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

Qiao Yisha stopped immediately after putting the fruit to her mouth. "Forget it, save it for later. I can still hold on for a while."

Joysa picked all the fruits from the branches and stuffed them into her backpack.

The lion came up again to drive them away.

"Wait, wait," Joysa pushed the lion's head, "Can't we just leave?"

The lion stopped and made way for them.

"But, you should be very familiar with this place, can you take us out?"

The lion shook his head.

"You don't know? Then where are we going?"

The lion came up to drive them away for the third time. Qiaosha and Xia Zi rolled on the ground, and their already dirty clothes were covered with mud.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Qiao Yisha stood up, put on her bag, and handed the crutches to Xia Zi to help her up.

"Stingy guy." Qiaoisha turned around and glared at the lion, then turned around angrily and helped Xia Zi walk out.

Their shoes had long been gone, and after only a few steps their feet were covered in thick mud.

"Uh..." Qiaoisha gritted her teeth and looked at the mud on her feet, trying hard to suppress the feeling of nausea. It had never been so dirty before.

"How many days have we been here?" Xia Zi also had a look of disgust on his face and was extremely disgusted with this place.

"I don't know. Without a clock, or the sun or the moon, I can't tell what time it is."

"Without me as a burden, your chances of getting out will definitely be higher than it is now."

"Do you think I'm so kind? I told you I want something in return."

"I know." She never took things for granted.

"Do you remember what happened when you were unconscious?"

Xia Zi thought deeply after hearing this, then shook his head: "I don't remember."

"You..." Qiao Yisha was about to say something, but her eyes fell on a certain place and her pupils shrank suddenly, "Xia Zi, look."

Xia Zi wondered what caused her such a big reaction, and when she looked over, she saw that her reaction was even more dramatic than Qiao Yisha's. Her chest was heaving violently, and her breathing was heavy.

"That's great." Her eyes sparkled.

What they saw was a person crawling on the ground with difficulty. Specifically, it was a man.

His legs were folded at a weird angle, his body was covered in mud and blood, and he was crawling towards a small puddle, apparently because he was thirsty.

"Ikehara." Xia Zi and Qiao Yisha walked towards the man crawling on the ground step by step.

The man looked up when he heard the voice, his expression instantly filled with fear. He knew that these two men would definitely kill him.

"Xia... no... Colonel-sama."

"Don't call me." Xia Zi roared.

"Colonel, I didn't want this to happen. You were the one who wanted to kill me first, otherwise we wouldn't have ended up like this..." Chi Yuan defended himself while crawling backwards.

Xia Zi stretched out her hand to Qiao Yisha, "Give me the dagger."

Joysa pulled it out from her waist and handed it to her.

Xia Zi held the dagger, pushed Qiaosha away, and walked with a cane, leaving some deep and some shallow footprints.

Chi Yuan seemed to see the deadly Satan, "No... Colonel... You can't do this, I was wrong... I dare not offend you..."

"...Go and confess to my parents."

"No... His Highness has issued an order this time to kill you on the spot. If she knew that you betrayed her..."

Xia Zi suddenly knelt on the ground and stabbed the dagger in his hand straight into Chi Yuan's back.

With a "puff", blood splattered.

Ikehara's screams stopped abruptly, but his eyes were still wide open.

She pulled out the dagger and wiped the blood off Chi Yuan's clothes. Her expression was cold but her eyes were red.

Qiaoisa stepped forward, helped her up and took back the dagger.

Xia Zi's voice trembled, "I finally got my revenge."

Qiao Yisha noticed that there were two key words in the words Ikehara said before he died: "Your Highness".

Just as Xia Zi said when she was unconscious, she became even more certain that the other party was definitely a member of the royal family. No one else could force her to this point.

"Let's go." Seeing that she was very emotional, Qiao Yisha had to ask her later.

The two walked for a long time, but they couldn't see the end of the road, and the rain started to fall again.

"Why does it rain so much in this damn Hell City?" Joysa cursed in a low voice.

Fortunately, there are many caves here, which can barely provide shelter from the rain.

"If you don't like rain, why do you stay in Hell City for so long?" Xia Zi and Qiao Sha quickened their pace and walked into the cave, asking.

"I just don't like the rain here," Qiaoisha sighed as she looked at the rain curtain, "I'm really going to become a savage, barefoot and in the cave."

"By the way, what did you want to tell me before?" Xia Zi thought about what she was going to say before she met Chi Yuan.

Qiao Yisha looked at her seriously when she heard this, "Xia Zi, are you really willing to help me escape from your previous master?"

Xia Zi was silent for a few seconds, then looked at her, "Yes, but I don't know how I can help you. From what I can see, I have always been a burden to you."

"As long as you're willing to help me." Qiaosha smiled and said nothing more.

"You're not going to ask me anymore?" Xia Zi seemed determined. "As long as you ask, I will answer you."

"No need, you know, I probably know everything."

"What?" Xia Zi didn't understand.

"The highness you are talking about must be Morris Ensha from the Southern Continent."

Xia Zi was surprised and asked, "How do you know? You asked me two days ago."

"You said it yourself."

"I?"

"You were delirious with fever and mistook me for her. Although I wasn't sure it was her at first, I then remembered that I had seen her and Queen Maurice on the news, with eyes like mine."

Xia Zi looked at Joysa's amber pupils, which were the symbol of the most noble bloodline in Nanzhou. Except for the Morris family, no one had such pupils.

"Yes, it was her. I obeyed her before."

"But there's one thing that's strange." Joysa frowned.

"Ok?"

"It is said that I have been hunted since I was born. Then the age of this Princess Morris doesn't match. If I remember correctly, she seems to be about the same age as me."

"Then I don't know," Xia Zi thought, "I entered the palace a long time ago, and she only started looking for you in the past two years. I haven't heard of this before."

"Didn't she tell me why she did that?"

"No, she never needs a reason to do anything. Everyone in the palace knows that she is cruel and vicious, but this time she suddenly got angry and even mobilized the army. I heard from Princess Maurice's personal maid that it was because of the Duke's son, whose name is... Caesar."

Xize, is Zhu Qingsi’s real name in Nanzhou?

"Does your princess like him very much?" She had been worried about Zhu Qingsi during this period because she knew that he was controlled by the family.

"Who knows?" Xia Zi shrugged. "Everything she wants will be delivered to her. Maybe this Mr. Caesar is an exception, so he caught her attention."

"Then do you know what happened to Mr. Caesar?"

"Being locked up in the palace by His Highness is nothing serious. What's wrong?"

"he is my friend."
