Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Suddenly, Lei Xiao stopped.

"What?" Lu Yunfei asked in a low voice.

"Something seems... off." Lei Xiao's tone changed instantly as soon as he finished speaking.

"Don't come any closer!" he suddenly waved his hand.

Unexpectedly, the sensation under my feet changed rapidly because of my wave of the hand.

Just as I was about to get up, I found that my feet seemed to be tangled in something, and I couldn't get up at all.

"Back off!" Lei Xiao gritted his teeth and whispered a command.

"What exactly happened?" Lu Yunfei wanted to go over.

But then Lei Xiao gritted his teeth and said urgently, "Don't come any closer! Something's wrong with the ground!"

The ground is clearly sinking!

The most terrifying thing was that he tried hard to get out, but soon found that the harder he tried, the less he could break free from the mud beneath his feet.

"It's a swamp!" Chu Yueli exclaimed in surprise, "Lei Xiao, don't move!"

But Lei Xiao couldn't stop. His body kept sinking, and his instinctive will to survive made him continue to struggle.

He even raised his hand and slapped the mud beneath him.

But the rebounding force of the palm did not pull him out of the mud; instead, with a pull and tug, it made him sink even deeper.

"Lei Xiao, I'm here to save you!" Lu Yunfei leaped up.

"Yunfei!"

"Ninth Prince, you mustn't!"

The two tried to stop them, but it was too late.

Lu Yunfei landed lightly beside Lei Xiao, grabbed his collar, and tried to pull him out of the mud.

But to his utter surprise, the ground beneath his feet suddenly caved in.

In the blink of an eye, even he was caught up in it.

"Yunfei, don't move! And don't touch Leixiao either, you'll only make him sink deeper!" Chu Yueli said anxiously.

At this moment, even Chu Yueli herself dared not move and could only continue to stand in place.

This is the legendary swamp.

For these people from the Central Plains who had never seen a swamp before, once they got stuck, there was absolutely nothing they could do.

No wonder Mo Wang and his group haven't come out since they entered Wansui Valley.

But what Chu Yueli was more afraid of at this moment was whether they had successfully entered Wansui Valley.

Is it possible that, in this swamp, something has already happened...?

No! Impossible! Yuwen Shu's men must have been certain that the Ink King was still in Wansui Valley before Yuwen Shu traveled all the way from Daganlu Alliance to come here.

King Mo must still be alive.

"Don't move!" Chu Yueli said, and immediately began to undress.

"Your Highness..." Lei Xiao was startled and quickly turned his face away, not daring to look around.

Lu Yunfei panicked: "Fourth Princess Consort, what are you doing? Quickly put your clothes on!"

He didn't understand, but he knew that his fourth brother must have taken off his clothes to save them.

Lu Yunfei was actually getting more and more familiar with Chu Yueli.

She never does anything meaningless.

Chu Yueli ignored them, took off her clothes, tore them into strips, and then tied the strips together.

There wasn't enough fabric, so she had to keep taking her clothes off, even taking off her pants, leaving her with only a thin pair of trousers.

"Fourth Princess, please don't do this!" Lu Yunfei turned around and accidentally saw this, immediately breaking out in a cold sweat: "Put it on quickly! Put it on quickly!"

Although Lei Xiao didn't speak, his heart was filled with desolation.

The princess was willing to sacrifice her reputation to save them.

If this gets out, the rumors and gossip will be enough to drown a person!

What merits does he possess to deserve such treatment from the princess?
