Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Black Bear Mountain.

Mo Chen knew that this journey would be fraught with danger, and that the other party must have made thorough preparations.

Therefore, when he first saw the guard take out the tinderbox, he guessed what he was going to do. With lightning speed, he quickly escaped from the narrow passage and climbed up!

They started fleeing even before the mountain was blown up, but the explosion was extremely powerful. The enemy had placed the alchemy furnaces in a series of interconnected locations, and the chain reaction of impacts caused the entire Black Bear Mountain to collapse...

To avoid being buried alive by the rocks, Mo Chen kept jumping upwards, using his sword to cleave through the falling rocks in front of him. The boulders that couldn't be blocked went around him, and he actually managed to escape with his life!

But the guard was the leader of this group of suicide soldiers, and he would never tolerate his defeat!

Upon seeing that Mo Chen could dodge the falling rocks from the blasting mountain, they chased after him, intending to knock him off the mountain!

They unleashed all their hidden weapons, attempting to ambush Mo Chen!

The two struggled forward through the deafening mudslide. Suddenly, a huge boulder collided with a nearby mountain peak, and Mo Chen, unable to dodge in time, was struck by it...

He slid down for more than ten meters, then suddenly raised his right hand, gripped the sword, and plunged it into the mountain soil—

Using the hilt of his sword to slow his descent, this slip caused Mo Chen to go from being taller than the black-clad guard to being taller than him...

Faced with this perfect opportunity to ambush, the guard stopped instantly and threw out a poisoned dart!

He used all his strength—

The poisoned dart, chilling to the bone, struck Mo Chen directly in the heart!

Mo Chen grunted and retaliated with a hidden dart. The black-clad guard tried to dodge the arrow but was struck by a boulder from the mountain and fell off the cliff from mid-air...

The black-clad guard tried to plunge his sword into the mountain to slow his freefall, just like Mo Chen had done, but Black Bear Mountain was almost entirely rock, and there was very little soil in the area where he fell, so he couldn't find any foothold...

Damn it, he gets all the good things!

Only the spot where he fell was a small crack in the grass between the rocks...

More and more boulders came crashing down, and the black-clad guard knew he had no way out, but thinking that he had already completed his mission, he still laughed arrogantly:

"Stop struggling! You've been poisoned, we're both going to die..."

Mo Chen touched his heart; the poisoned dart had indeed struck him.

But it wasn't his heart...

It was the doll he was hiding in his arms...

With another powerful leap, Mo Chen pulled out the poisoned dart and threw it down the mountain. His survival instincts compelled him to dodge the rocks, but his left hand unconsciously reached for the shattered doll.

"Sorry……"

"You've taken all of this for me..."

-

At the same time, on the other side of the world, Ye Li felt a pang of heart palpitation.

She received news from the little bird that Mo Chen had been lured away from his post and that the Tian Shu camp was currently under attack, so they probably wouldn't have time to rescue him...

Ye Li threw down the basin of laundry, clutched her stomach, and said to the maids beside her:

"Ladies, I'm so sorry, I have diarrhea again today. Please tell the Second Prince's wife that I'll go back to serve her after I've finished my business!"

After saying that, he ran off in a flash.

No one was surprised. The girl that the Second Prince's wife had picked up on a whim was frail and sickly, and would often faint while doing chores.

Occasionally, when the second prince's wife was in a good mood, she would let her ride in the carriage to rest, and she usually did the least amount of work.

Everyone knew that the Second Prince's wife favored this girl, so no one wanted to offend her.

Ye Li made an excuse to go into the woods, anxiously searching for Qinglong and Annie.

Since both of them could climb trees, they were free to roam during the day, though they usually stayed near the motorcade.

Ye Li immediately spotted the orange cat sitting on the green tree. She looked up at the Azure Dragon beside her and said urgently:

"Lord Azure Dragon, I need to save Mo Chen, please help me!"

Unexpectedly, the Azure Dragon shook his head: "You are from another world. I cannot interfere if you want to, but I cannot change the fate of mortals."

"I cannot help you."

Ye Li stamped her foot in frustration: "Aren't you a divine beast of the temple? You should know magic, right? The kind that can make people fly away in a flash, or you can cast a magic circle!"

Azure Dragon still shook his head

"Forgive my bluntness, but divine beasts cannot be controlled by others unless they recognize a master, let alone... you are just a mortal."

"Mortals cannot command divine beasts."
