Chapter 1968: Giving Up His Body
Bo Cixue had expected all kinds of danger when she planned to enter the forest.
Since she was young, she also liked to explore the wild.
But this time, she felt that reality was much harder than that.
After holding her breath for such a long time, she felt suffocated from the lack of oxygen in her lungs.
She glanced at the man swimming in front of her. He was like an agile flying fish with amazing perseverance.
She could not drag him down!
She gritted her teeth and followed his rhythm.
Ye Jie estimated the time and when she was about to give in, he surfaced with her.
The narrow cave wall was just enough for the two of them to poke their heads out to breathe in fresh air.
The other man swam toward them.
At this time, Bo Cixue and Ye Jie could not care about him.
They were about to continue swimming forward when a strange sound rang around them.
Bo Cixue saw a group of black things flying toward them.
She looked closely and was almost frightened out of her wits. “Bats.”
Ye Jie’s voice was calm and cold. “Get underwater.”
They dived quickly into the water.
The leader of the other side also saw a large number of bat and he also dived to the bottom of the pool quickly. But he hit an unknown switch and countless arrows shot around the cave wall.
Whoosh!
Ye Jie and Bo Cixue’s expressions changed when they felt countless arrows shooting into the water.
Being restrained in the water, it was hard to avoid it.
With a swoosh, one of the arrows was about to land on Bo Cixue and Ye Jie hurriedly shielded her.
Bo Cixue widened her eyes and grabbed Ye Jie’s arm tightly.
Ye Jie pushed Bo Cixue, gesturing for her to leave quickly.
Bo Cixue suppressed the turmoil in her heart and continued swimming forward with Ye Jie.
The two of them did not dare to stop. If they did anything, arrows would land on them.
After some time, those hidden weapons finally stopped.
Bo Cixue and Ye Jie poked their heads out.
Bo Cixue’s eyes turned red when she saw the arrow on Ye Jie’s shoulder.
“Don’t be affected. If a person’s adrenaline levels increase, it will cause a confusion in their thoughts and cause a mental breakdown, causing the brain to lose consciousness and control, making it unable to make decisions.”
Ye Jie said coldly.
Bo Cixue looked at his pale face and lips, her heart heavy.
But he was right. When encountering danger, one could not be panicked and could not be confused. They had to adjust their mentality in time.
They dived into the water again.
Several times Bo Cixue was almost exhausted, but at the thought that he was still persisting even though he was injured, she endured it.
After about two hours, they finally saw light.
The moment she saw the light, Bo Cixue’s eyes turned red.
Ye Jie’s face was pale and Bo Cixue helped him to the shore.
The two of them walked into the forest and only stopped when Ye Jie felt that they were safe for the time being.
Bo Cixue helped Ye Jie to sit down.
She took his bag and put it on the ground. “Brother Xiaojie, let me see your injury.”
There was still an arrow stuck in his back and that arrowhead was still stuck in his old wound.
His dark clothes were stained with a lot of blood and she could smell the blood.
Bo Cixue quickly took out a first aid kit from her bag.
Using a pair of scissors, she cut the piece of clothing he was wearing.
Seeing the bloody wound, she endured the urge to cry and calmly cleaned his wound.
“There’s no anesthetic. It will hurt when I pull the arrow out.”
Ye Jie’s voice was slightly hoarse. “It’s just a small injury.”
Bo Cixue’s long eyelashes fluttered. She took a deep breath, bit her lip, and pulled out the arrowhead in one go.
She carried several types of medicine that were very effective for wounds.
This was for her to defend herself.
She rarely used it, but she kept it with her just in case.
She applied medicine on his wound and tied it up with a bandage.
“Brother Xiaojie, you rest for a while, I’ll go get some firewood.”
He was injured and had been in the water for more than two hours, so it was easy for him to catch a cold again.
Without waiting for Ye Jie to say anything, Bo Cixue jogged away.
Ye Jie looked at her back and his jaw clenched slightly.
“She is devoted to you, and her looks and figure are top-notch. Why hasn’t she caught your eye?” The leader of the other side followed over. He was more seriously injured than Ye Jie, having been shot in the back, arms, and legs.
He limped as he walked.
Ye Jie had someone to bandage his wound but the other could only watch on.
Ye Jie glanced at the man. After being soaked in the water for a long time, the layer of black on his face was gone, revealing his fair face.
Apart from that pair of dark eyes, this was actually a very young man. He was handsome and elegant, and when his expression was not cold, he looked like a sunny and bright boy.
Ye Jie knew that there was a mysterious organization that would hire them as long as they could pay. But they had a principle. If they accepted the buyer’s money, they would not be bribed by the other party.
He had heard that the leader of the group was a very mysterious and ruthless person.
“Yan Bei,” Ye Jie spat out coldly.
The man was stunned, as if he did not expect Ye Jie to know his name.
“The Crown Prince of S Country is more capable than I thought.” Yan Bei leaned against another tree, his cold eyes looking at Ye Jie. “When we leave here, I will definitely take you away. Your life is very valuable.”
Ye Jie smirked lightly. “I’ll give double the amount the other party gave you.”
Yan Bei said, “Since you know what I do, I’m sure you know my rules.”
“Three times.”
Yan Bei was speechless.
“Four times.”
Yan Bei was speechless.
Bo Cixue had just finished picking up the firewood and heard their conversation. She said angrily, “Why are you giving him so much money? In my opinion, if he doesn’t stand on our side, let him bleed to death.”
Bo Cixue put dry branches into a fire pit and took out a lighter from the waterproof bag to light it up.
After lighting the fire, Bo Cixue walked in front of Ye Jie. Unlike the fierce way she spoke to Yan Bei just now, her tone was gentler. “Brother Xiaojie, take off your clothes and I’ll dry it for you.”
With that said, she looked at Yan Bei.
Under the light of the fire, she was slightly stunned when she saw that his face had returned to normal.
Yan Bei had seen too many women who were dazed after seeing his appearance. He raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Bo Cixue. “I didn’t know you were also a promiscuous woman. Why, are you smitten by me?”
Bo Cixue scoffed. “How can you compare to Brother Xiaojie from head to toe? Besides, you can’t even compare to Sikong Ling.”
Ye Jie was indeed a good child. He might be slightly worse, but how was he worse than Sikong Ling?
This woman was lying through her teeth!
Yan Bei had been shot three times and did not have the strength to argue with Bo Cixue. But seeing her crouching down to help Ye Jie dry his clothes and take care of him meticulously, he felt upset.
Some people were born to live comfortable lives.
His background was good, his status was high, and he had a woman who was loyal to him.
Bo Cixue dried Ye Jie’s shirt and passed it to him.
She accidentally touched his bare upper body. He looked tall and thin when he wore his usual clothes, and she thought he had no muscles.
She had not expected his figure to be so good.
But then again, he had been trained in the training camp since he was young and had long trained his chest and abdominal muscles.
The lines from his neck to his arms looked exceptionally smooth and strong. It was a pity that he wasn’t a male model.
Ye Jie reached out to take the clothes and found that Bo Cixue’s eyes were fixed on him. He coughed slightly. “Cixue.”
Bo Cixue threw the clothes at him. “I just think that you’re quite fair.”
Hearing this, Yan Bei could not help laughing out loud.
Then she heard Bo Cixue say, “Of course I’m still not as good as that gigolo.”
“Woman, do you know who you’re talking to?” Yan Bei dragged his tattered body up.
But soon his knee hurt and Ye Jie threw a stone at him.
Yan Bei’s legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Ye Jie replied, “Who are you calling ‘woman’?”
Yan Bei looked at Ye Jie’s cold and warning eyes and laughed coldly. “Fine, the two of you bully a seriously injured person like me.”
Bo Cixue found it funny. “Mr. Villain, you’re wrong. You’re the villain. We gave you a special gift by not taking your life.”
Yan Bei was speechless.
Ye Jie looked at Bo Cixue and frowned slightly. “Sit by the fire.”
Bo Cixue waved her hand. “I have a tent in my bag, I’ll go set it up.”
Everyone was exhausted today and would definitely not be able to continue walking into the deep forest.
Bo Cixue set up the tent and looked at Yan Bei, who had a dark expression on his face.
Furrowing her eyebrows, she took out the medicine from her bag and walked up to him.
“You haven’t revealed who sent you to plot against Brother Xiaojie. You’re still useful. It’d be a pity for you to die like this.”
Bo Cixue threw the medicine at his feet.
Yan Bei glanced at Bo Cixue and grabbed the medicine bottle with his slender hand. “Do you want me to give myself to you?”
Bo Cixue kicked his calf bone.
Yan Bei hissed. “Tsk, I’ve long heard that General Bo’s daughter is as gentle as water. Why do I feel that it’s the opposite?”
“Shut up!”
Yan Bei glanced at the man resting by the fire. “Why, do you still have him in your heart?”
Bo Cixue glared at Yan Bei. This person was handsome and talented, and it was hard to regard him as a wicked person. But she felt that he was despicable when she looked at him. “Stop talking nonsense. If it wasn’t because of this accident, the person who would be with me would be Sikong Ling.”
“Oh.”
The two of them stared at each other, neither of them noticing the man who was resting, his lowered eyelashes fluttering slightly.
In the middle of the night, footsteps that could not be ignored suddenly sounded.
The three of them immediately opened their eyes.
Ye Jie got up and looked outside.
He saw the group of people approaching them.
Ye Jie quickly put out the fire and ran forward with Bo Cixue, Yan Bei following behind them.
After running for more than ten minutes, Ye Jie saw that the chasing sounds were getting closer and he said calmly, “Cixue, hide here. I’ll lure those people away.”
Bo Cixue was worried, but she knew that this was the best way.
However, she waited until dawn, but she still didn’t see him.
