Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

The two supported each other and soon, thanks to Fu Zhun's good eyesight, discovered a hidden cave.

The hiding place was temporarily solved, but Su An soon discovered another big problem.

Fu Zhun's entire body was drenched in cold sweat. He half leaned against the wall with his eyes tightly closed. His brows were even paler than before, and his breathing was heavy and disordered.

"You're so cold, are you frozen? I'll find some wood to make a fire to keep you warm!"

Su An anxiously wanted to go out, but was gently grabbed by his pale hand.

"No, the pursuers may be nearby, and the fire will reveal our position."

Su An hesitated for a moment, looked at Fu Zhun's persistent eyes, and finally obeyed him.

He looked at the sky again and saw that it was around noon. He could only hope that the reinforcements would find them soon.

Time passed slowly, Su An leaned against the cave to rest, and in a daze, he seemed to hear the increasingly weak breathing sounds beside him.

"Fu Zhun?" She moved slightly and felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.

But she couldn't care less about that at the moment. She reached out her hand to Fu Zhun in panic and felt the astonishing heat on his forehead.

Her heart was in a mess, and she tried to push Fu Zhun again, "Fu Zhun, you seem to have a fever, wake up!"

With just this movement, the hands fell limply to the ground, and no matter how she shouted, he seemed to be unaware.

"damn it!"

Su An's eyes were filled with regret and self-blame. She didn't even notice when Fu Zhun fell into a coma!

Never mind! If I don’t find a way to cool it down after it gets this bad, I’m afraid I’ll burn myself into a fool!

Su An dragged his aching body and quickly found dry firewood and water near the cave. He carefully started a fire with the flint he carried with him.

The flames danced in the darkness, bringing a touch of warmth and hope.

Su An gently laid Fu Zhun flat on the ground, and with a determined heart, he quickly unbuttoned his robe, revealing a solid and broad chest.

"Don't be surprised, I'm trying to save you, not molest you..."

Su An muttered, his heartbeat accelerating involuntarily. He took a wet cloth and gently wiped the tough skin, taking away some of the heat.

Fu Zhun seemed to feel a slight sense of warmth and comfort, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little. A faint moan escaped from his throat, but he still did not wake up.

"Fu Zhun, you must hold on, we will be fine!"

However, just as she was murmuring to comfort herself, a cold voice suddenly came.

"There seems to be a cave here, let's go in and take a look."

In an instant, Su An's heart sank and his hands began to tremble.

This voice has bad intentions, it is the assassin who is chasing them!

Looking at the unconscious Fu Zhun, Su An gritted his teeth, a look of determination in his eyes.

He picked up a fire stick and held it in front of him, then walked out step by step with determination.

The footsteps outside the cave were getting closer and closer, and Su An's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. As soon as he walked out, he saw several black-robed men who looked like assassins surrounding him.

"Oh, we finally found her, and she's a little girl!"

As soon as they saw Su An, several assassins looked at each other and immediately grinned maliciously.

These assassins seemed to be newly sent, and when they saw that she was just a woman, they didn't take her seriously at all.

"Don't come here!"

Su An leaned against the wall, waving a fire stick, and warned unwillingly: "This is the territory of Jizhou. There are many officers and soldiers on duty nearby. If you act here and are discovered, you will not be able to escape!"

"If you leave now, I'll pretend I know nothing!"

However, these words made the assassins laugh even more arrogantly, and they pressed forward without a care in the world.

One of them even reached out to grab Su An and said, "The young lady is quite pretty. Don't worry, I am very kind to women. If you serve me well, I might even spare your life!"

"Get out of here!" Su An glared at him, waving the stick stubbornly and struggling hard, but was grabbed by the wrist by another man.

"Hehe, you have quite a temper." The assassins laughed. "You'll be begging for mercy later."

Her struggle seemed insignificant in front of the strong pursuers, and her heart was instantly filled with despair.

Am I really going to suffer such humiliation today...

Just as Su An closed his eyes in despair, preparing to face the unbearable fate, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of breaking wind.

"Ah!" The two assassins nearby covered their pierced palms, screamed and retreated, staring at the cave vigilantly.

Su An suddenly opened his eyes and was surprised to see that Fu Zhun had woken up at some point.

He strode out of the cave, his dark eyes shone with a hint of coldness, his face extremely gloomy.

He took the Qianlong Pill again without hesitation, and instantly, a powerful force surged in his body.

Then he rushed towards the assassins as fast as a sharp blade.

The long sword in his hand was as fast as lightning. The pursuers had no time to react and fell in a pool of blood one after another with screams.

"Fu Zhun..." Su An stared blankly, his eyes full of fear and worry.

After all, the side effects of Qianlong Dan are no joke!

As expected, after killing all the pursuers, Fu Zhun's body reached its limit. He suddenly spurted out large mouthfuls of blood and his body was shaking.

Su An was stunned and rushed over in panic. Looking at Fu Zhun, whose face looked like a dead person, tears fell uncontrollably.

"How are you? Don't sleep! Don't sleep!"

"It's all my fault. I'm the one who dragged you down!"

Su An's eyes were red and tears were dripping down. She could only watch Fu Zhun collapse to the ground and couldn't get up.

Fu Zhun breathed heavily, smiled weakly, and reached out to wipe the tears from her face: "Why are you crying? If I can die with you, it is also fate."

Su An's tears flowed even harder. She hugged him tightly, her heart filled with regret.

If she had not come to Jizhou and suggested bringing water to the village, Fu Zhun would not have been assassinated!

If it wasn't for saving himself, he could have escaped long ago!

"what do I do……"

"Hahaha, what a loving couple! They are so affectionate!"

At this moment, the blood demon lurking behind slowly walked out.

Looking at Fu Zhun and Su An lying in a mess on the ground, he suddenly showed a crazy and complacent smile.

"I didn't expect you were so good at running, but in the end, you still fell into the hands of my Blood Lotus Sect!"

"You--" Su An's heart was filled with alarm, but before she could do anything, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, her eyes went black, and she lost consciousness.

……

When he woke up again, Su An found himself and Fu Zhun imprisoned in a carriage that looked like a prison.

The surroundings were blocked, the thick curtains blocked out any light, and there was no one else around. Only the sound of people talking outside the carriage could be vaguely heard.

"Fu Zhun!"

Su An endured the pain all over his body and groped over. He reached out and found that Fu Zhun's fever was getting worse.

He was still unconscious, but even in the dim environment one could clearly see his painful and frowning expression.

"Someone, come quickly! I need to see your elders. Otherwise, if the prince dies, all your schemes will be ruined!"
