Quickly wear a child, the villain is more favored, who wants the male protagonist?

"His Majesty!"

Amidst the exclamations, Xia Xizhi, who was hiding behind a large rock, suddenly turned around and realized that Junze was gone. Her expression changed instantly.

Junze fell off a cliff?!

Without a second thought, Xia Xizhi jumped down...

.....

Some corner.

Before Xia Xizhi jumped down.

A man dressed in black stood beside Junze, trying to remove the arrow from Junze's body. However, this kind of arrow had barbs, and pulling it out was not an easy task that most people could endure.

The man in black hesitated, pursing his lips slightly, but finally couldn't help speaking.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly change your strategy? This is far too risky. The slightest mistake could...!"

Junze didn't even flinch at the arrow in his body, showing no concern whatsoever.

His dark eyes were fixed on Xia Xizhi, who was hiding behind a large rock. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly,

"That man wanted to kill me under the guise of worshipping the gods. His spies have infiltrated my inner circle. I might as well take this opportunity to completely eliminate his followers and prevent future troubles. It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about. Only by acting convincingly can we fully expose that man's faction..."

He also wanted to see her expression when she saw him fall off the cliff...

For a little money, you'd help an outsider and put him to death!

What a cruel heart!

"Your Majesty, this arrow is coated with deadly poison!"

When the man in black tried to remove the arrow from Junze, he saw the blackish-brown arrowhead and his expression changed drastically.

"Thanks to the antidote pills that the old man from Medicine King Valley gave His Majesty a few days ago, otherwise His Majesty would be dead by now!"

At this point, the man in black gritted his teeth in anger.

"Prime Minister Xia is utterly despicable! His Majesty has been so good to him, yet he has betrayed his country and His Majesty!"

"Without His Majesty, does he think he can hold onto his position as Prime Minister?!"

"Damn it, once this is over, I must kill him!"

As he spoke, the man in black turned his head and glared fiercely in Xia Xizhi's direction.

After a few gasps from the cliff top, Xia Xizhi turned around, paused for a moment, and then leaped off the cliff...

"Your Majesty! Prime Minister Xia... he seems to have jumped down?" The man in black couldn't believe his eyes.

Junze was stunned for a moment when he saw Xia Xizhi turn and jump off the cliff. Then his expression changed drastically, and he leaped off the cliff himself...

"His Majesty?!"

The man in black cursed inwardly, gritted his teeth, and jumped down after him.

After a clap of thunder, dark clouds obscured the rising sun, and the sky suddenly turned pitch black, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Large raindrops pattered down, and Junze, who was leaping off the cliff, couldn't see Xia Xizhi at all. He could only use his internal energy to accelerate his descent based on where she had jumped.

But seeing that he had fallen to the bottom of the cliff and still couldn't see her, Junze's eyes darkened. He gritted his teeth and stabbed his sword into the loose soil on the cliff to slow his fall.

The sword carved a deep gash into the cliff face. Junze's hand, gripping the sword, bulged with veins. Just as the sword was about to break, he tumbled and fell.

The arrow in his chest scraped against the cliff as he fell, embedding itself even deeper. Junze yanked the arrow out, his face turning deathly pale. Blood gushed from the wound instantly, flowing down with the rain.

Just as he was about to land, he vaguely noticed a human-shaped shadow beneath his feet, motionless and seemingly silent. Junze's expression changed.

Did the little troublemaker really fall off the cliff like that?

She's so weak, why is she jumping off a cliff?

With a fall like that, the chances of survival are slim...

Junze gritted his teeth and used his remaining internal energy to turn his body around, crashing hard onto the broken stones next to the human-shaped shadow.

With his vision blurred by the torrential rain, Junze, completely disregarding his arrow wounds and broken leg, reached out with trembling hands towards the shadowy figure the moment he fell. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse.

"Don't be afraid, I won't let you die..."

They only managed to grab a piece of clothing, and upon closer inspection, they discovered that the clothing was wrapped around a skeleton...

"Your Majesty, this is not Prime Minister Xia, it's a skeleton."

The man in black who jumped down next to him also had an injured leg and limped straight toward Junze.

The man in black was startled when he noticed Junze's broken leg.

"Your Majesty, your leg..."

The man in black quickly helped Junze up and said rapidly,

"Your Majesty, there is a cave over there. Let me carry you there to take shelter from the rain and get your wound bandaged."

"Ignore me, go find Prime Minister Xia," Jun Ze said with a grim expression.

As soon as they finished speaking, they vaguely heard a sound and both looked up.

Above them, a small figure landed with a thud on a tree branch extending from the cliff. Then, seemingly losing her grip, she was bounced off and plummeted downwards.

Junze was immediately startled, his face changed instantly, and he got up, limping, to go and save her.

The next second, the figure landed on a tree branch extending from the next cliff...

Junze and the man in black had just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her bounce up again and fall downwards...

With both of them on edge, Xia Xizhi landed on another branch, and this time she grabbed onto something—it seemed to be a vine—and slowly climbed down it...

The man in black's lips twitched.

"My god, his luck is just too damn incredible! How could this even work?"

"He actually fell from the tree three times. It's true what they say, good people don't live long, but bad people live a long time... He's really hard to die."

Junze was immediately displeased and gave him a cold look, causing the man in black to quickly shut his mouth.

Actually, because of the heavy rain and darkness, the two didn't see the iron grappling hook that Xia Xizhi had thrown out, a tool specifically designed for descending cliffs.

The iron claws allowed her to land steadily on the next tree, and what they saw as vines were not vines, but chains.

Just as Xia Xizhi was about to land, Junze glanced at the man in black beside him.

"You may leave now and go back to carry out my arrangements."

The man in black paused. "Your Majesty, this humble servant will carry you into the cave first to bandage your wounds, and then..."

"Get out!"

"Yes!"

The man in black turned and disappeared into the night.

As soon as the man in black left, Junze looked at Xia Xizhi, who was struggling and about to find him. His expression changed, and he lay back down on the ground, pretending to be unconscious.

As soon as he landed, Xia Xizhi, soaked to the bone, quickly began searching for Junze.

Upon seeing him, her eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over.

Noticing the blood on Junze's chest and legs, as well as the arrow that had been pulled out, Xia Xizhi's expression darkened. She quickly checked his breathing, and the faint breaths made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Xia Xizhi frowned. Jun Ze had not only been shot with an arrow, but also broken his leg. How come this was completely different from the original plot...?

The original plot did not describe this part in detail, but it is certain that Junze was not injured and did not fall off the cliff.

‘Crack! ’

A clap of thunder sounded, and the rain poured down even harder.

No, we need to find a sheltered place to bandage Junze right away.

A flash of lightning illuminated a cave on a hillside not far away.

Xia Xizhi quickly used the single-person carrying method he had learned before to carry Junze on his back.

However, the two had a large weight difference, and she was relatively weak, so carrying her was really difficult.

Xia Xizhi gritted her teeth and walked step by step toward the cave in the pouring rain. She barely managed to take the last few steps and almost fell down the hillside because her legs gave way.

The moment I carried Junze into the cave, I collapsed to the ground...

After climbing the mountain for half the night, Xia Xizhi was exhausted and hungry, and her strength was already depleted. She was also soaked in the rain, and her already weak constitution collapsed to the ground and fainted the next second.
