Jun Xiqing… had escaped!

As she rode on the wolf’s back, the only thought that was constantly on her mind was on how she would be able to escape. This was the only opportunity!

Lu Yeming made his name known at such a young age, it had only been a few years since then and he just took over the Palace like that, now he would rule over the world. Furthermore, he had the Dragon Totem on his back, he was the chosen one with the purest bloodline.

Not only that, she had lost to him multiple times, he was indeed a strong rival and she admired him, but feared him even more. Once he became the King, the first person he would deal with was her.

If she wasn’t going to escape now, she would never be able to leave. She would never be a caged bird, she needed freedom.

A magnetic voice rang in her ears. “Where are you going?”

Stunned, Jun Xiqing raised her eyes to look and found that Lu Yeming had already chased up to her.

How…?

He rode a wolf, breezing through the wind and his clothes fully billowed out. Under the moonlight, his features were distinct and he was suave.

He personally came to chase after her.

Jun Xiqing couldn’t help but curse, “Lu Yeming, why are you so f*cking annoying, can’t you just leave me alone?”

Lu Yeming was slightly amused, the corners of his mouth kicked up. “Qingqing, I can’t… seem to let you go anymore.”

F*ck!

The rivaling army shot an arrow and it headed straight for Jun Xiqing’s chest, aiming at her heart.

Jun Xiqing’s pupils contracted, she dodged the arrow but she hadn’t managed to stabilize her body, falling off the back of the wolf.

“Ah!”

She screamed, stepping on some loosened soil. Turning back to look, she was standing at the edge of a high cliff.

She was about to fall off the cliff. If she were to fall off the cliff, no one would even discover her corpse.

“Caught you!”

A large hand appeared to catch hold of her, it was Lu Yeming again.

But he hadn’t managed to, his hand merely brushed across her clothes and she fell backward, down the cliff.

“Ah!”

She screamed frantically.

“Miss Jun!” Murong Ling and Fan Men rushed over.

She fell off the cliff.

Lu Yeming suddenly felt like he just lost something, before he could even give it any further thought, he leaped down after her.

“Master!”

It was a loud groan from Fan Men.

…

When Jun Xiqing fell off the cliff, deep despair and terror rooted in her heart.

Was she just going to die like this?

Looking up at the sky full of stars, she had always been calm, intelligent and astute. Even when she uncontrollably had feelings for Lu Yeming, she managed to hide it well and not embarra.s.s herself. Even when she lost her dear country, she remained rational and made the right judgments.

She hadn’t forgotten Uncle’s last words, he held her hand, those were his expectations for her.

She couldn’t believe it, she was just going to die like this?

She shouldn’t die like this.

In fact, she felt really indignant… And also… aggrieved and upset.

Her lashes fluttered and her eyes reddened, unhidden tears welling up inside. Closing her eyes, she waited for her moment of death.

But a strong arm grasped her svelte waist, pulling her into a warm embrace.

Shocked beyond belief, Jun Xiqing instantly opened her eyes.

Lu Yeming’s handsome face was in front of her.

Him?

Jun Xiqing gasped, she was at a loss of what to do.

Lowering his eyes to look at the woman in his arms, her tears trickled down when she opened her eyes and she wasn’t like her strong, astute self. She exuded a gentle, delicate aura of a 21-year-old and she was really charming.

The corners of his mouth kicked up. “You’re crying?”

Caught off guard, Jun Xiqing found she had no response. How did he fall off the cliff too?

“Why are you crying?” he asked.

Jun Xiqing sniffled, of course one would be vulnerable when facing death. “Lu Yeming, I really hate you.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re always bullying me.”

Hearing her complain, Lu Yeming’s voice was tender. “I bully you only because I like you.”

Jun Xiqing grasped his clothes tightly. “Don’t talk about liking me, you jerk!”

He ‘liked’ her, but not in the way she wanted. What made her deserve this kind of ‘like’?

Lu Yeming pursed his lips, not saying a word.

Jun Xiqing lifted her head again, looking at him with teary eyes. “Why are you here?”

Calm eyes looked back at her as the world continued to rush by. “Qingqing, I already told you, you can’t escape. I will not let you go, you’re my woman!”

Cries…

Jun Xiqing suddenly just disregarded everything else, beginning to sob loudly. She felt even more aggrieved and upset.

She had to admit he was a charming man.

So what if he had hidden feelings for someone else, if she could just neglect it, he would give her all the affection and doting she needed. He was well capable of making a woman feel secure and blissful.

It was because she was his woman, so he followed behind her and jumped off the cliff. This was more than enough for a woman to feel touched and stay loyal to him.

“Hold onto me tightly,” he reminded her.

Jun Xiqing quickly hugged his trim waist tightly.

They were about to fall to their deaths when Lu Yeming suddenly took out a knife, the blade screeching against the rugged walls of the cliff and there were sparks from the friction.

Boom! It was such a loud sound.

Jun Xiqing didn’t feel any pain at all. Her body was protected in his arms, she could feel his back knocking against the rocky edges of the cliff. She continued hugging him and could feel something on her hands. It was blood.

He was bleeding.

Which part of him was bleeding?

Given the huge blow he just suffered, the injury was probably serious. But still, he held her waist, holding her tightly in his arms steadfastly.

He had protected her.

But he had to suffer the huge blow instead.

Jun Xiqing trembled, her tears blurring her vision. Lifting her eyes, she asked, “A-Are you okay?”

Lu Yeming’s face was pale, but his deep-set eyes remained sharp as usual. Looking at her, he revealed a wry smile. “Do you know how to swim?”

“What?” She was perplexed.

“Inhale. Exhale. Swim as best as you can.”

Right after he said that, bam! The two fell into the ocean. The cold waters instantly surrounded them, almost drowning them. From the moment they fell into the ocean, Lu Yeming already tried his best to reduce the inevitable impact.

Jun Xiqing’s entire mind was filled with his deep-set eyes, his smile—-Inhale. Exhale. Swim as best as you can.

Thras.h.i.+ng her limbs with all her might, she fought against the strong rush of the current to get to the top. She had to survive. She had to!

Finally, she gasped for much-needed air as she broke through the surface of the water.
