Chapter 46: Beautiful Princess VS Crazy, Sickly, and Jiao (Spoiled) Tyrant 23

The two walked through the thorn bushes, and a silent jungle appeared in front of them.

The dense canopy of trees covered the sky and the sun, and mottled light and shadows fell down. Looking from a distance, the jungle was bottomless, trapped by thick fog.

In front was a dense forest, and behind was a lake. It seemed that there was no way to retreat. If they took a gamble, they might be able to find a way out in this dense forest.

She stopped and hesitated to ask him, “Are we going in?”

He said decisively, “Go.”

Ning Wanguan used a small branch to poke his chest muscles, instructing him: “You go ahead.”

In case any wild beasts come out, the first bite will be him, she is really smart.

Pei Tingche pursed his lips and had no objection, and took the lead in exploring the way. The dense forest was damp with fog, and footprints were printed on the ground, one deep and one shallow.

The two walked for a long time, finally seeing the sun, and were so hungry.

Especially Ning Wanguan, the whole person was exhausted.

Pei Tingche squatted down and turned his face to look at her, “I’ll carry you.”

Ning Wanguan was not pretentious, and jumped on his back without hesitation, her whole body hanging on his back, her small arms tightly hugging his neck.

“Hold on tight. Or…” He raised his wrist, meaningfully, “Untie it, so I can hold you, afraid that you will fall.”

“Don’t even think about it! I will grab it myself, you don’t need to worry about it! Go!”

The small branch in her hand waved, quite like treating him as a beast of burden, driving him forward.

He sighed almost imperceptibly, then carried her on his back and continued to walk forward. After walking for a long time, he suddenly saw a few wild fruit trees in front, with abundant fruits on the dense branches and leaves, red and bright.

Her eyes were sharp, and she screamed, “Pei Tingche, over there! Hurry! Go over there!”

The voice was so happy, perhaps infected by her emotions, the originally icy face gradually couldn’t help but bring out a smile.

“Okay.”

He carried her on his back and walked towards the direction of the wild fruit tree. The tree was not high, but she wanted to climb up. She jumped down from his back, and neatly took off her shoes.

Her hands grabbed the trunk and wanted to climb up along the pole, but failed.

He squatted down again and said in a deep voice, “Step on me to go up.”

Ning Wanguan stepped on his back without hesitation, raised her arms and grabbed the trunk, and climbed onto the tree with strength. The branches and leaves of the tree were dense but the branches were not big. She finally found a comfortable position to sit down, raised her hand and picked a big red fruit, round and full, smelled it, and the shape was a bit like an apple.

“Pei Tingche, you try the poison first.”

She picked a super big one and threw it to Pei Tingche under the tree.

Pei Tingche took the fruit, took a light bite, the taste was crisp and sweet, with a bit of sour astringency, it was indeed delicious.

Ning Wanguan was so greedy that she couldn’t wait, but she was also very afraid of death. She watched him eat a few bites, and carefully observed the state and expression on his face, and eagerly asked: “Is it delicious? Can you eat it? Is it poisonous?”

His handsome eyebrows stretched, and he rarely joked, “Non-toxic.”

“Oh!”

Seeing this, Ning Wanguan immediately picked a super big fruit for herself.

One bite down, feeling full of blood and resurrected, she sat on the branch, biting small mouthfuls, her two white little feet swaying in the air, leisurely.

After eating half of it, she saw that Pei Tingche had already finished the first fruit, and suddenly got up. He was close to 1.9 meters tall, and he could reach the fruit with a raise of his hand, but Ning Wanguan stopped him.

“Don’t move, I’ll pick a big one for you!”

Pei Tingche stopped his movements and raised his eyes to scan her.

Ning Wanguan bit half of the fruit, leaned forward, supported the branches, and picked the largest fruit within a hundred miles and threw it to him, “Just now you carried me for a long way, you must have consumed a lot of physical strength, eat this big one, it’s sweeter, to replenish sugar.”

Pei Tingche held the fruit in his hand, stared at her for a long time, and his heart was uneasy.

She sat back on the branch, her little legs swaying in the air, shaking and swaying, “One yard is one yard, this girl has gratitude and revenge.”

“Then have you taken revenge?”

“Half of it.”

“…”

Pei Tingche was silent, and asked in a hoarse voice, “When will the other half be finished?”

“It depends on my mood.” Ning Wanguan glanced at him and said, “Don’t pretend to be pitiful in front of me, I won’t sympathize with you.”

Pei Tingche paused and did not continue to entangle.

After the two were full, they took some wild fruits for replenishment on the road, and then left the fruit forest and continued on their way. Ning Wanguan had a terrible sense of direction. She turned around in this mountain forest, and felt that every tree looked exactly the same. Between the layers of fog, she couldn’t tell the way at all.

“Wouldn’t it be a ghost hitting the wall?”

She was terrified, she was most afraid of this thing. If it was a human, she would kill it with one knife, but if it was a ghost, she would be useless even if she cut it a few times.

Pei Tingche led the way in front, unaffected by the fog at all, and only answered her question lightly, “I don’t believe in gods and ghosts in this world.”

“That’s because you haven’t encountered it.”

She coughed lightly. Gods, ghosts, and demons are like the hierarchy of human beings. For example, there is a rabbit spirit behind him now, which belongs to the lowest level among the gods and ghosts. At this time, the two walked through layers of dense forest, and Ning Wanguan suddenly heard the sound of water, a little confused.

Could it be that she has returned to the lake at the bottom of the cliff again?

But what appeared in front of her was a long river, with soft light shining on the water, sparkling, and on both sides of the river, there were lush green bamboos, winding and twisting, and you couldn’t see the edge at a glance.

“The terrain at the foot of Mount Lingyan is complex, the mountains are steep, and wild beasts often appear. If we rely on the two of us, we will not be able to walk out of Mount Lingyan. You see that the river is living water, flowing to the coast of Dongling. We only need to follow the direction of the water flow, from west to east, to leave Mount Lingyan.”

Ning Wanguan: “Swim over?”

The corners of his eyes弯 (wān – curved), couldn’t help but smile, “You are usually quite smart, why at this critical moment, can you come up with such a bad idea?”

Her cheeks flushed slightly, a little embarrassed, “Then what can I do? There is no boat—“

“You can make one yourself.”

Ning Wanguan: “But we don’t have a knife, how—“

Before she finished speaking, she saw Pei Tingche hold her breath and close her eyes, and the qi in her hand had already begun to circulate.

She was shocked: “Don’t—–“

The words of stopping were not yet spoken, and his sharp moves had already been甩 (shuǎi – thrown) out, as fast as lightning, and chopped down several bamboos standing on the bank.

The bamboos were broken one by one, section by section, and fell to the ground.

Ning Wanguan suddenly turned pale, feeling a powerful evil spirit backlashing into her internal organs, and the pain was piercing.

Pei Tingche’s condition was worse than hers. His lips were pale, his handsome face was twisted, and his whole body was shaking. As the main body, his body felt like being pierced by ten thousand arrows, and finally couldn’t hold back and vomited a mouthful of black blood, falling to the ground.

She covered her abdomen, tears falling straight down from the pain.

His eyes were slightly red, and he smiled sadly, his voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.

“Wanwan, in life we share the same quilt, in death we share the same grave.”
