The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

When Wang Xiyue and her group of five arrived at the Black Fiend Gang, they found that the place was also engulfed in flames.

Wang Xiyue didn't have time to think much before rushing in without hesitation.

The speed was so fast that even Dongfang Yu was a step too slow to stop them. "Mo Yun, the three of you go back to the inn first and see how Wang Xijie is doing. I will protect Xiyue and keep her safe."

After giving his instructions, he hurriedly went to chase after Xiyue.

Wang Xiyue searched everywhere in the sea of ​​fire and finally found a person who was tied up in a small room.

Unfortunately, it wasn't Mingzhe or Zhuzhu, but a strange young man.

She didn't want to save him at first, but then she discovered that he wasn't dead yet, he was just unconscious from the thick smoke.

After thinking it over, I decided that it would be safest to take the person out first. If they were bad people, I could just kill them; if they were good people, it would be a good deed.

The fire grew larger and larger, and Wang Xiyue struggled to run out with the man. At this moment, Dongfang Yu found them and loudly comforted Xiyue as they walked.

"Xiyue, don't worry too much. I've already sent Xijie with people to rescue Mingzhe and the others."

"They're probably already at the inn. We need to leave immediately; it's too dangerous here."

While protecting Xiyue, Dongfang Yu grabbed the stranger's belt and struggled to escape.

The three of them escaped together and walked a long way before finally finding a pool of water that was temporarily unaffected by the fire.

Surrounded by fire, there was no way to escape. Wang Xiyue and Dongfang Yu could only throw the man into the pool before jumping in after him.

Fortunately, the water wasn't very deep. Wang Xiyue couldn't swim, so she could only stand up with the help of her brother. This added to his burden, as he was already carrying an unconscious person, and now with her on top of that, it was even more difficult for him.

Moreover, the danger was not over. The houses around the pool burned brighter and brighter, and the flames drew ever closer. Even though they were soaking in the water, they were still suffering from the heat.

Wang Xiyue looked around and hurriedly searched for other ways out.

Finally, she discovered a passageway on one side of the pool that looked like a rockery. She didn't know where it led, but it should provide temporary shelter from the fire.

"Let's go that way!" Wang Xiyue pointed in the direction of the passage, and together with the young man, they dragged the man towards the passage.

After entering the passage, we found that there was still a lot of space.

Once Wang Xiyue regained some strength, she prepared to wake the stranger up. If he remained unconscious, she and her brother would not have the strength to carry him out.

Wang Xiyue looked at the man in front of her, her heart filled with doubt. Now that she had time to look at his face carefully, she realized that this person seemed to have appeared in her dreams a few times, but she just couldn't remember who he was.

She had run out of medicine, so she could only wake the person up with silver needles.

Wang Xiyue took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then picked up the silver needle and inserted it into the man's philtrum.

The man groaned and slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Wang Xiyue and Dongfang Yu in front of him, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Wang Xiyue asked first.

The man rubbed his head, trying hard to recall what had happened.

“I… my name is Lu Song. I don’t know why I’m here… I just arrived in this town. I was bored, so I took my page to go shopping. We went into a shop to buy some writing brushes and ink, and then I fainted…” His voice was weak.

Wang Xiyue and Dongfang Yu exchanged a glance, and they roughly figured it out. This man was very handsome and had the appearance of a weak scholar. He must be a male concubine specially selected by the Black Fiend Gang for Zhu Nan, so they drugged him and kidnapped him.

Lu Song sat on the ground, staring blankly ahead, feeling as if all his strength had been drained away.

He gasped for breath, and after finally catching his breath, he turned his gaze to the mysterious woman in front of him.

Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, as if she had just gone through a life-or-death ordeal.

Her soaked clothes clung tightly to her body, making her look haggard, but this did not diminish her cold and imposing aura.

Her exquisite features and unique temperament make her irresistible.

She was dressed in plain black clothes, but they couldn't hide her figure. Instead, they gave her a simple and genuine beauty.

The water droplets dripping from her body contained traces of blood, indicating that she had suffered severe external injuries.

Every drop of blood seemed to tell the story of her recent painful experience, which made him feel pity.

The other man, though without any obvious external injuries, was also unusually pale, as if he had suffered severe internal injuries.

He decided to ask tentatively, "Are you... all right?"

Who are you? What's our situation?

As soon as Dongfang Yu saw Lu Song's gaze fall on Xi Yue's body, he instantly moved in front of Xi Yue and stood in her way.

At the same time, he took off his outer coat and wrapped it around Xiyue's curvaceous body. Although his clothes were also wet, at least they could cover some of her body.

Wang Xiyue tightened her grip on the deliveryman's coat and briefly answered some of the questions, "The house is on fire, we came to rescue people, and we happened to run into you, so we brought you out. We just came from the pool of water."

He was filled with gratitude and admiration that these two people, despite their own serious injuries, were able to save him, a complete stranger, when his life was in danger.

This also shows that they must be good people, so he can feel a little more at ease.

Seeing that Lu Song was alright, Dongfang Yu took Xiyue's hand and walked inside, leaving behind a message.

"Now that you're awake, rest here. We need to explore this passage first and see if we can get out of here."

He had just seen the curious look in Xiyue's eyes as she looked at Lu Song, and that made him feel very hostile towards this stranger. He disliked him.

Especially after seeing the fleeting admiration and pity in that man's eyes, he was even more reluctant to let Xiyue be alone with him.

The two walked a long way through the winding passage, only to find that it seemed endless, as if they would never reach the end.

Fortunately, the space here is relatively spacious and well-ventilated, so one doesn't feel suffocated.

However, as they ventured deeper into the passage, the light gradually dimmed, and the surrounding environment became increasingly difficult to see.

Since the two of them had not brought any tinder, the cold was becoming increasingly noticeable, causing them to shiver.

Wang Xiyue was shivering from the cold and couldn't help but sneeze. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the young man's hand.

Dongfang Yu sensed Xiyue's chill and nervousness, and without hesitation, he held her tightly in his arms, warming her with his own body heat.

At the same time, he placed his right palm on Xiyue's back and slowly channeled his internal energy into her, hoping to help her resist the cold.

"Xiyue, be good, don't move. Your body will feel warmer once you start circulating your internal energy."

Dongfang Yu coaxed softly, her voice filled with concern and tenderness.

If he hadn't been injured, he could have easily used his inner strength to dry Xiyue's clothes instantly. But because of his internal injuries, he was powerless at the moment and could only try his best to keep her warm.

In this dimly lit place, even if Wang Xiyue looked up, she couldn't see the young man's face, which was so close to hers; she could only feel his warm breath brushing against her forehead.

In this hazy and quiet environment, her senses of touch and hearing became exceptionally acute, as if magnified infinitely.

Although his embrace should have been cold, she felt warm and safe. His hands, which were tightly holding her waist, were incredibly hot, as were the hands on her back.

Her heartbeat was like his, striking like a drum, resonating in unison, as if two destinies were resonating with each other.

However, she was unwilling for him to sacrifice himself only for her.

She turned around decisively, quickly and accurately grabbing the young man's hand, and refused with a firm yet tender tone: "I don't want to, you're already injured."

Dongfang Yu had undergone special training and could see in the dark, so he clearly saw the heartache and worry in Xiyue's eyes, as well as a trace of affection that was not concealed at all.

Seeing Wang Xiyue's insistence, Dongfang Yu stopped pressuring her. He took her hand again and said, "Xiyue, don't be afraid. This might be a specially built secret room. Trust me, just hang in there a little longer!"

Wang Xiyue nodded, her heart filled with trust in the young man.

Although it was pitch black, she could feel her hand being tightly enveloped by his warm palm, and that warmth traveled to her heart, making her feel incredibly safe.

The two walked carefully forward. They had walked twenty or thirty feet from the cave entrance, and had not encountered any danger or obstacles along the way, which strengthened their confidence to go in.

Just as Wang Xiyue was trying to figure out where she was, she suddenly heard the deliveryman's voice: "Xiyue, we've arrived."

Then came the sound of a switch being activated, and the two doors of the secret chamber slowly shrank into the cracks in the rocks on either side of the cave.

Instantly, light flooded the room, illuminating the entire space.

The two went inside and found that it was a very strangely decorated cave.

In the center was a specially made round bed large enough for four or five people to sleep on. The bed was decorated with bright red items. Although it looked tacky and glaring, the materials were of the highest quality. The sheets and blankets were made of the most expensive silk fabrics on the market, and even the curtains hanging around it were made of the same luxurious gauze.

The cave walls shimmered with strange, multicolored light, decorated with various large pieces of gemstones or luminous pearls, but many parts of the walls were quite rough.

This is a man-made cave with burning torches on the walls and several large candlesticks that are always lit, so it is well-lit.

The interior was very open, with no obstructions, and everything could be seen clearly at a glance. It was about four or five zhang wide in all directions.

In one corner of the cave, there was a steaming pool. When the two approached, they found it was a bathtub. The bottom and sides of the pool were made of large pieces of jade and very fine blue bricks, enough for more than ten people to sit around and soak in.

Wang Xiyue smelled sulfur, and when she touched it, she found that it was actually natural hot spring water, but she didn't know where it came from.

The cave has water, a bed, and many luxurious clothes hanging there, both men's and women's, but mostly bright red. At first glance, it looks like a couple's wedding room.

The two separated and searched carefully again, but no one could find a door leading elsewhere; this was the end of the passage.

The only large cabinet next to the bed contained many bottles and jars. Wang Xiyue opened one of the bottles and smelled it. She didn't know what it was for; it tasted like oil or anti-inflammatory medicine.

After walking around, Dongfang Yu had basically confirmed where he was.

He took the medicine bottle from Xiyue's hand and sniffed it lightly, which made him even more certain that this was the brothel that Zhu Nan had built for himself.

Seeing the young man's suddenly unnatural expression, Wang Xiyue anxiously asked, "What's wrong? Is something off?"

Dongfang Yu didn't know how to explain that he knew these things, so he awkwardly turned his head away and denied it, saying, "It's nothing."

"Let's hurry up and leave! There's no other way out here."

Looking at the awkward expression on the young man's face and his bright red ears, and considering that this was the Black Fiend Gang, Wang Xiyue guessed what the secret room was dug up for.

It was rare to see such a genuine side of him, and she couldn't help but want to see right now what his face looked like under the mask.

But now is not the time. "Okay, let's go!"

After the two went out and closed the stone door, the passage became dark again.

Wang Xiyue took the initiative to hold the young man's hand. Although she had already memorized the route and location from where she came, she still wanted him to lead the way because she liked the feeling of being protected and cared for by him.

Holding the soft hand in his palm, Dongfang Yu felt an indescribable surge of excitement and joy welling up inside him.

He was even a little overwhelmed, forgetting how to take a step. At that moment, he felt as if he were floating on clouds, so happy that he almost floated away.

Wang Xiyue noticed his unusual behavior, smiled gently, and reminded him, "Let's go!"

Her voice was unusually playful and sweet, like a jar of honey falling into his heart.

Dongfang Yu quickly came to her senses, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her turbulent emotions.

He held Xiyue's hand tightly and led her step by step outside.

His steps were steady and powerful, each step filled with determination and confidence, as if quietly announcing to the world that he had found love.

When the two came out, they found that the fire outside had subsided considerably.

When Lu Song saw the two of them come out again, he felt that the atmosphere between them had changed, and they had become more intimate, like a loving couple.

He was about to ask them if they could get out through the passage when he heard shouts from outside: "Is anyone there?"

"Is there anyone else?"

"Yueyue..."

Wang Xiyue was overjoyed. It turned out that her brother had brought people to help put out the fire and rescue them.

Dongfang Yu also heard Wang Xijie's voice, so he quickly used his internal energy to transmit the message: "We are here at the artificial hill by the pool."

Soon, Mo Yun arrived with Wang Xijie.

Mo Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the princess was still relatively unharmed. Luckily, she was alright, otherwise the prince would have chopped off her head.

Wang Xiyue asked anxiously, "Brother, where are Mingzhe and Zhuzhu?"

Wang Xijie looked his sister up and down several times. Seeing that she was conscious but much weaker, he felt relieved.

"They're both fine. Mingzhe just suffered some minor injuries, which have already been bandaged up."

"Zhuzhu is still fast asleep, she's perfectly safe, don't worry!"

Upon hearing her brother's words, Wang Xiyue's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she could no longer hold on. Her vision went black and she fainted.

Dongfang Yu hurriedly reached out to catch her, but because the incident happened so suddenly, he didn't have enough time to react. He could only worry about Xiyue's safety first, so he lost his balance and the two of them fell backward to the ground.

He tried to steady himself, but found it was too late to adjust his posture. In the end, he could only fall to the bottom, causing Xiyue to fall into his arms.

Anxious and distraught, Dongfang Yu disregarded everything else. He picked up Xiyue and used his lightness skill to dash towards the inn like an arrow.

Only his words remained in the wind: "Take Lu Song away and put out the fire quickly!"

At this moment, Xiyue had exhausted all her physical strength and energy. She had been sustained by her firm belief in saving people, but now that belief had disappeared, she could no longer persevere.
