You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

As the footsteps approached, Lin Zhaoyue's heart almost fell into her throat. Her heartbeat quickened, her breathing became rapid, and her fingers almost dug into her palms.

She must not be caught by Xiao Yan!

The woman just said that Xiao Yan was bitten by a poisonous snake. Even if he forced himself to use his internal energy, he would not be able to hold on for long.

She forced herself to calm down, held the bow and arrow, put on her veil, and started running.

Looking at the white figure disappearing into the jungle, Xiao Yan's lips curled up into a cruel smile.

Want to run?

I don’t know whether her legs are faster or his sword is faster.

Concentrating his inner strength on the sword and using sound to determine the position, Xiao Yun stretched out his hand and threw the sword out without hesitation.

Lin Chaoyue, who was running away, heard the sound of breaking air and instinctively dodged sideways.

However, the speed of the sword was too fast.

"Pfft."

The sharp sword blade cut through the flesh, Lin Zhaoyue's left arm was pierced, blood spurted out, soaking her white dress.

The blood dripped on the white skirt, like blooming red plum blossoms.

If she had reacted a little slower just now, the sword would have cut her throat.

Seeing that the woman dodged his fatal attack, Xiao Yan's eyes became more interested.

Pretty quick reaction!

It wouldn't be fun if you died too quickly.

Lin Zhaoyue gritted her teeth, endured the severe pain, turned around, pulled the bow and arrow, let go, and the black iron arrow shot towards Xiao Yun.

The target is his legs!

His leg was injured just now, so his reaction was not that fast.

The sharp arrow came flying through the wind. Xiao Yun could have dodged it, but he was stunned when he saw the woman's eyes.

How could it be her?

Did she team up with those people to kill him?

The sharp arrow pierced through his flesh, but the man seemed not to notice and just stared at her in a daze.

All the strength in his body was drained away at once, and his upright figure collapsed.

My heart felt like there was a big hole in it, and the wind was blowing.

He curled up his body and turned his head to see Lin Zhaoyue covering her arm and leaving him without looking back.

In the past, he thought she was just making a fuss.

She never thought that she hated him so much!

A hint of gray flashed across the dark eyes. The man coughed violently, his whole body trembled, and he spat out mouthfuls of black blood.

Black blood foam flowed from the corners of his mouth onto the dead leaves, and his delicate face was pale, like a quickly withering poppy flower.

Before he lost consciousness, he thought, if he woke up, should he investigate thoroughly and kill all her clan, or... let her go free.

But obviously, she had asked for this marriage herself...

Lin Zhaoyue didn't hear any movement behind her. She turned around and saw Xiao Yan lying on the ground with black blood oozing out of his mouth. It looked like he was dying!

The black iron arrow was stuck straight into his thigh, his black robe was soaked, and his body was covered in blood.

Is he dying?

Lin Zhaoyue looked at Xiao Yun, who was now powerless to resist, and a trace of conflict flashed in her eyes. Reason pulled her to kill him now to prevent future troubles.

But her body was shaking and she didn't know what she was afraid of.

However, such a good opportunity probably only comes once.

She wasn't sure if Xiao Yan recognized her just now. If he did, then...

Lin Zhaoyue didn't dare to imagine it, nor did she dare to gamble.

Kill him and none of this will happen...

As if there was a demon guiding her in her heart, she picked up the blood-stained sword on the ground, raised her legs and walked towards Xiao Yan.

As soon as she approached Xiao Yan, Lin Zhaoyue smelled a strong smell of blood.

Lin Zhaoyue's hands were shaking. Looking at Xiao Yun who had his eyes closed, her mind went blank and her hands were too weak to lift the sword.

The blood-stained sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

A drop of crystal liquid unconsciously slid across her face, and her lips turned pale.

It’s just killing one person, she can do it, it’s just killing one person...she’s not afraid.

If he turns into a ghost, he will come and seek revenge on her...

Drops of cold sweat rolled down her forehead. Lin Zhaoyue picked up the sword on the ground with trembling hands, her eyes fierce.

A cold light flashed across Xiao Yan's porcelain-white neck, and his heart was beating desperately.

Xiao Yan, you can go die now...

This time, Lin Zhaoyue raised the sword in her hand and swung it down without hesitation.

The sharp blade cut through the throat skin and was about to go deeper when a jade-white hand firmly grasped the sword. The voice was cold and murderous:

"If you don't want to die, get out! Otherwise I will really kill you!"

The man's eyes were clearly still closed, but Lin Zhaoyue felt a chill running down her spine.

Before he opened his eyes, he staggered away.

Xiao Yan didn't open her eyes until the footsteps disappeared. She just... hesitated...

If he hadn't noticed her hesitation, what would have fallen to the ground would have been her head.

He couldn't bear to kill someone who wanted to kill him again and again.

He, Xiao Yan, when did he become so kind?

Xiao Yan pulled up a mocking smile, forced himself to stand up, and walked out step by step, dragging his injured leg.

At least he had to leave Crescent Valley. Otherwise, with his injuries and the poison from the five poisonous snakes, if no one found him in time, he would really die!

The last time he was in such a mess was eight years ago, but at that time he had Liu Yiyi...

Thinking of Liu Yiyi, a deep sense of guilt flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes.

He is not a fool. At least during this period of time, he knows that he feels differently about Lin Zhaoyue, and can even say that he likes her a little.

That's why he wavered when Liu Yiyi asked him today if he would marry her.

But!

Lin Zhaoyue doesn't deserve his love.

Fortunately, he didn't get too deeply involved.

He really deserves to die!

Obviously, marrying Liu Yiyi was his childhood wish, but he still doubted that Liu Yiyi was not the one who saved him.

ridiculous!

Xiao Yan felt ashamed, angry and even self-loathing for his vacillation.

Yiyi, I am sorry for you.

From now on, my whole heart will be given to you!

Lin Zhaoyue, if there is a next time, I will never be soft-hearted and will kill you with my own hands!

A hint of murderous intent flashed across his dark eyes. Xiao Yan clenched his fists, and blood flowed out from between his fingers...

(Countdown for Xiao Yan's memory recovery)

……

Lin Zhaoyue didn't know how long she had been running. The branches tore her clothes, and her hands couldn't hold back the blood from the wound, so it dripped all the way.

This won't work. She must treat her wound as soon as possible, otherwise with His Majesty's ability, he will definitely track her down.

Lin Zhaoyue leaned against a big pine tree, tore off a piece of her dress and used it to wrap her wound.

After resting for a while, she staggered towards another hill.

As soon as I reached the valley, I heard footsteps.

She subconsciously hid herself behind a tree, looked back, and then frowned.

How come Qingzhu appears here?

Hadn't she already sent her away?

Lin Zhaoyue was afraid that Qingzhu would discover her, so she quickly shrank back.

Qingzhu didn't see anyone, but he smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

Her eyes quickly locked onto a large tree. She raised her sword, lightened her steps, and walked towards that direction.

After a piece of white cloth emerged from the tree trunk, Qingzhu quickly recognized that it was Liu Yiyi's clothes.

Isn’t Liu Yiyi in the tent?

How come you are here?

Could it be that the young lady’s disappearance has something to do with her?

But she didn't believe she had the courage to do it.

Who's that person behind the tree?

Lin Zhaoyue's mind was in a mess and she didn't notice Qingzhu coming towards her at all until a cold sword was placed on her neck.

"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Liu Yiyi?"

Lin Zhaoyue frowned when she heard Qingzhu's words. After all, she had been dealing with Liu Yiyi for at least ten years in this and her previous life, and Liu Yiyi's figure was very similar to her, so she was able to deceive Xiao Yan.

But Qingzhu...why does it feel like she is also very familiar with Liu Yiyi?

Lin Zhaoyue turned to look at her, reached out to lift the veil from her face, and said:

"Qingzhu, it's me."

Qingzhu was stunned at first, but when he saw Lin Zhaoyue's pale face and bloody arms, he became worried:

"Miss, what happened to you? Why are you so badly injured?"

Lin Zhaoyue shook her head and said:

"I'm fine. Don't tell anyone about my injury."

Qingzhu nodded without hesitation.

She is not stupid. The young lady and the prince disappeared at the same time. Perhaps the injury is related to the prince.

"Right now, all the guards outside are secretly looking for the prince. Miss, your wound needs to be treated immediately. Let's find a place to hide first and reunite with Princess Duanmin as soon as possible."

"The Royal Guards are looking for the prince?"

The speed was much faster than she had imagined.

Qingzhu nodded and squatted down:

"Miss, come here and let me carry you. Otherwise, with your footsteps, those guards will easily find you."

At this time, Lin Zhaoyue didn't hesitate and climbed directly onto her back.

Lin Zhaoyue didn't know how good Qingzhu's martial arts were. She only knew that even if she carried her on her back and stepped on the fallen leaves, no sound was made.

Qingzhu carried Lin Zhaoyue to a cave and put her down:

"Miss, please wait here for Qingzhu. Qingzhu will be back soon."

"it is good."

Lin Zhaoyue completely trusts Qingzhu.

Due to excessive bleeding and fatigue, Lin Zhaoyue felt weak all over.

She leaned against the stone wall with her eyes closed, and occasionally heard the sound of guards walking below.

"There's nothing here, go over there and search."

The footsteps hurried away, and just as Lin Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, an abrupt voice came from below:

"Damn it, where is that girl? We have searched the entire hunting grounds, but we can't find even a single person."

"Exactly, how did she hide so well? And brother, it seems that those guards are also looking for something. Could it be that they are also looking for that little girl?"

"Go away, that little girl doesn't have that much ability. I see they are sneaking around, they must be looking for some treasure."

"So what treasures are there in this hunting ground? Aren't they just a few fawns and rabbits?"

"That's right... No, big brother, there really is a treasure. Look, isn't that the dragon scale fruit that is worth a hundred taels on the market?"

Dragon scale fruit is a precious medicinal material. It is needed as a trigger for many diseases and has always been priceless.

"Really? You have a sharp eye. Luckily, those guards didn't know the value of the coins. But there are only three of them. What a pity!"

Three pieces...

Lin Zhaoyue looked outside the cave and saw three bright red fruits growing on an ancient tree with a thick and curved trunk, sparse leaves and bark that was covered like scales.

"It's better to have something than nothing, big brother. I'll go pick it. Even if we can't find that woman, we won't lose anything."

"What are you talking about? How can those three dragon scale fruits compare to that woman? That woman is worth a thousand taels of gold."

"Okay, okay, okay, second brother is wrong, second brother is wrong..."

The footsteps of those people were steady and their martial arts skills were quite good.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Lin Zhaoyue looked around.

The hole is not very big and it has a clear view.

There is no other hiding place except a big rock.

And because of the trees, ordinary people will not easily find this place.

But if you go under the dragon scale fruit tree, you can naturally see it.

Gritting her teeth, Lin Zhaoyue covered her wound and hid under the huge rock.

I don’t know who the little girl they are talking about is. These people are not disciples of aristocratic families, so how did they get in?

Soon, a man wearing blue brocade clothes and with shifty eyes came up.

Although he was wearing brocade clothes, his temperament was vulgar.

Seeing the cave, he muttered:

"I didn't expect there was a cave here, perfect for taking a shit."

Lin Zhaoyue: …

He hummed an unknown tune and began to drag the branches of the dragon scale fruit.

The dragon scale fruit grew on the top of the tree, and its roots extended out of the cave. The bottom was very high off the ground, and if you fell from it you would either die or be crippled.

"Brother, you can't pick it. How about I shake it from above, and you and the third brother catch it from below."

"Okay, you shake it."

The man in the blue flowered robe gathered his inner strength in his palms, then hugged the tree trunk and began to move.

The leaves fell, and then three bright red dragon scale fruits fell down.

A man in black below jumped twice and caught it.

"Okay, big brother, you and the third brother go look for them first. I'll take a shit first and then go find you guys."

"You really poop and pee a lot, hurry up, let's go to the front to look for you and catch up quickly..."

I just heard the footsteps below going away.

The man walked into the cave, lifted his robe, and just as he was about to unbutton his pants, he smelled a faint smell of blood.

Strange, why does it smell like blood?

As soon as he took a look, he immediately stared behind the huge rock.

As the footsteps approached, Lin Zhaoyue knew she couldn't avoid it, so she simply stood up.

"Sir, I am the second daughter of Duke Lin. I was lazy and sleeping here, but I didn't expect you to come here."

This person looked unfamiliar. Lin Zhaoyue had never seen him before.

She originally thought that bringing up Duke Lin would make the other party wary, but unexpectedly the man was very excited:

"It's easy to get it. I'm looking for you, the second daughter of Duke Lin. You little girl, you're hiding here. It really took me a long time to find you!"

find her?

Lin Zhaoyue immediately became alert, holding a dagger in her hand.

The man seemed to be confirming something and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

After two clicks, the greed and excitement in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Yes, it's Duke Lin's second daughter."

As he spoke, the man rubbed his palms together and walked towards her.

"This person looks more beautiful than in the painting, and he must taste good!"

Lust was written all over his face, and Lin Zhaoyue knew that he had bad intentions.

Just as he was about to walk towards the cave entrance, the man stopped him:

"Miss Lin Er, where are you going?"

Lin Zhaoyue looked at the man in front of her and said in a sharp voice:

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do? Isn't it obvious? Of course I want to arrest you, Miss Lin Er."

"I don't care who's behind you. You arrested me just for money. I can pay double the price, or you can name a price."

The man laughed when he heard Lin Zhaoyue's words:

"Miss Lin, we are very honest in this business. We don't just listen to whoever has more money."

The main thing is that if they don't behave themselves, they will die miserably.

Seeing that the talks failed, Lin Zhaoyue picked up the dagger in her hand and prepared to fight to the death. However, before she could make a move, the man sprinkled a handful of white powder, and Lin Zhaoyue's body fell down limply.
