Forced love, an inescapable fate

At this time, Mu Qingli was not so scared anymore. It was just death, and it was no big deal. She was more open-minded now.

Because she really didn't have the strength to climb up anymore, this was probably her fate.

She could only admit it.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I don't have the strength anymore. Although I really want to walk out with you, it seems that I can only take you here. Cover your ears and close your eyes. Don't cry or look. The wolves will leave when they are full. Don't worry, they can't climb up. I'm sorry, brother."

After saying these words, she could no longer hold on and closed her eyes resignedly.

The moment she let go of her hand, she was pulled back by a force.

She opened her eyes and saw Jiang Ci holding her hand.

"You are the one who helped me escape. Now that we have escaped, you must help me survive."

Jiang Ci's tone was very cold when he said these words, completely different from the gentleness and softness he usually showed in front of Mu Qingli.

He was right. I was the one who helped him escape. If I died, would he be able to walk out of the forest alive?

Although he didn't have any special abilities, but being with him always gave him more hope than leaving him alone here to face unknown dangers. Besides, since he had already come to this world, why couldn't he live well?

His words seemed to wake Mu Qingli up, and she felt her strength returning a little. With Jiang Ci's strength, Mu Qingli was pulled up little by little.

When the wolves under the tree saw that their food was gone, they couldn't help but become angry. They gathered under the tree and howled, and even kept trying to climb up the tree. However, wolves were not good at climbing trees, and in the end they could only helplessly gather under the tree.

It was not until both of them were safely sitting on the tree branch that Mu Qingli realized that she had actually climbed up and was not eaten by the wolves.

The branch was so big that it could easily accommodate both of them. Only then did she have the courage to lower her head and look down.

It wouldn't matter if she didn't look, but once she did, she was really scared.

There were densely packed green lanterns flashing under the tree. That was naturally the color emitted by the wolf's eyes at night. She didn't dare to open her eyes when she was down there just now. Now she saw so many astonishing lights, and she was just glad that Jiang Ci pulled her up at the last moment.

The wolves were extremely patient. With his current small body, if he really fell down, there wouldn't be enough for them to share. Even if they ate him, they wouldn't let Jiang Ci go. He couldn't stay in the tree forever. As long as he got down from the tree, he would die. He was still too naive.

When she realized this, she felt a little embarrassed to look at Jiang Ci. It was clearly she who brought him into this dangerous place, but when they encountered danger, he didn't think about solving the danger, and at the last moment he still had to save her.

She lowered her head and muttered an apology.

"sorry."

The two were very close, their bodies almost touching each other. With such close contact, Jiang Ci no longer felt the disgust he had felt before. He was angry, but he was angry at Mu Qingli's disregard for her own life.

He was someone who tried so hard to live before, so how could he give up his life for others now? Is this something Mu Qingli would do?

Jiang Ci didn't say anything and turned away awkwardly.

He didn't realize that his attitude towards Mu Qingli had changed, but he didn't blame Mu Qingli for being willing to give up her own life for him.

Mu Qingli could feel that Jiang Ci was angry. This was the first time Jiang Ci showed different emotions towards her, so she could only apologize more carefully.

"Brother, don't be angry. I didn't mean to abandon you. I'm actually very afraid of the dark. I was just holding on tonight because if I showed fear, how could I protect you? In fact, my legs and feet were weak as soon as I entered the forest. When I was climbing the tree just now, I really had no strength left. But I promise it won't be like this in the future. I won't give up my life so easily again. You're right, I was the one who brought you out, and I will definitely take you to a safe place."

Jiang Ci heard her careful apology and assurance clearly, and only then did he turn his head.

"I'm not angry, sister, but you can't do this again. I'm not that fragile. You don't have to sacrifice yourself to save me."

"Okay, I get it. I won't do it again next time. But even though the wolves can't climb up, they won't leave anytime soon. Let's stay in the tree tonight and see what happens tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Their lives were saved for the time being, but if the wolves had not left and stayed below, they would have starved to death in the tree.

Mu Qingli looked at the dozens of green eyes under the tree with a bit of worry in her heart.

How can I make them leave?

Even if it's daybreak, no one will come into this dense forest. How can they save themselves?

Bai Yu and others who were also hiding in the trees not far away kept sending signals to Jiang Ci. Although they had confirmed that Jiang Ci and Mu Qingli were safe, being stared at by dozens of wolves was still dangerous. As secret guards, they naturally could not let their masters fall into danger.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no response. Bai Yu was a little confused, but he remembered his master's order and could not reveal his identity in front of Mu Qingli.

Although I am anxious at this time, I can only wait patiently.

Mu Qingli did not dare to relax his vigilance at this time. He stared at the movements of the wolves under the tree, fearing that they would jump up accidentally.

However, I gradually felt my head getting heavy, and soon I fell asleep.

Jiang Ci leaned Mu Qingli's head against his body and sent a signal to Bai Yu and others not far away.

Bai Yu finally received the signal and quickly jumped to the tree where Jiang Ci and Mu Qingli were.

Seeing Mu Qingli sleeping in the arms of his young master, there was disbelief in his eyes.

But as an excellent secret guard, he naturally knew what to say and what not to say at this time.

"Master, do we need to deal with the wolves under the tree?"

"No need. When daybreak comes, you just need to lead the wolves away. Send two people to clear the traces of us entering the forest. I will leave two people here, and the rest of you will go ahead to explore the way and make sure you understand the terrain of this forest. As for Mu Qingli and I, you don't have to take any action. I have my own plans."

Although Bai Yu did not understand Jiang Ci's orders, he obeyed them absolutely.

"My subordinate understands!"

Seeing Bai Yu jumping over their heads, the wolves instantly became excited. They saw that there was more food, but the food seemed to be flying, so they could still see it but not eat it.

Bai Yu looked down at the wolf pack and disappeared in a few flashes.
