"Le Yao Yao..."
Upon hearing this, Leng Junyu felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The thought of Le Yao Yao being harmed made him anxious and restless.
However, with someone unconscious beside him, he was at a loss about what to do.
Just then, Leng Junyu suddenly heard the sound of hooves approaching, and his heart leaped with joy. He turned to see Dongfang Bai and the others arriving.
Without hesitation, Leng Junyu picked up the unconscious Saiki and handed her over to Dongfang Bai, who had just dismounted. He hurriedly said, "She was injured by a black bear; please take care of her. I need to find Le Yao Yao."
After speaking, Leng Junyu swiftly mounted his horse and galloped in the direction where Le Yao Yao had disappeared.
He kept praying in his heart, "Le Yao Yao, you must be safe!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, Le Yao Yao was already drenched in sweat from being chased by the Black Bear.
She was lamenting her situation internally.
She never expected that this Black Bear would have so much strength; it had been chasing her for such a long time without stopping.
However, Le Yao Yao did not let Black Bear chase her for long.
The reason she hurt Little Black Bear was merely to distract Black Bear.
Now that she had successfully drawn Black Bear away and Leng Junyu and the others were no longer in danger, Le Yao Yao immediately placed Little Black Bear on the ground.
After all, the only reason Black Bear was pursuing her was that its child was in her hands. Now that she had returned its child, it would be concerned about Little Black Bear and would not chase after her.
Clearly, Le Yao Yao's guess was correct.
As soon as she set down Little Black Bear, she quickly used her lightness skill to dash forward for a distance.
When Black Bear saw its child being put down, although it was still furious inside, it only let out a few roars toward Le Yao Yao, as if venting its unwillingness. However, it did not pursue her any further.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Raising her beautiful eyes, she tragically discovered that she seemed to be lost.
The surrounding trees were dense and dark.
Moreover, in the darkness, it felt as if there were pairs of green eyes watching her, sending chills down Le Yao Yao's spine.
Damn it! Wolves!
She was having a really bad day. Just when she managed to shake off Black Bear, she encountered wolves again.
Watching those green eyes seemingly multiplying, Le Yao Yao didn't think twice and exerted all her strength to use her lightness skill and fled forward.
After all, although she possessed martial skills, she would not engage in a battle against many with just herself.
Moreover, these wild wolves hunted in packs; she was not invincible and had no intention of facing these beasts head-on.
Thus, the best strategy was to flee!
However, while Le Yao Yao could run, those wolves could run too!
And they were not slow!
Clearly, they were starving and had finally spotted their prey—there was no way they would let her go easily!
So, the once peaceful forest became a scene of a thrilling chase!
A slender figure dashed ahead, with a pack of wild wolves hot on her heels!
************
"Damn it! I barely have any meat on me, so why are they always chasing me!? How infuriating!"
Seeing the relentless pack of wolves pursuing her from behind, Le Yao Yao felt both helpless and frustrated.
After all, she had already exerted considerable effort escaping from the black bear earlier; now being chased by wolves—what kind of bad luck was this!?
Le Yao Yao looked up at the sky in despair.
But she knew this was not the time for overthinking. Instead, she summoned all her strength and continued to sprint forward.
After running for about half an hour, Le Yao Yao finally managed to shake off the pack of wolves behind her.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao let out a sigh of relief.
"Wow, I’m exhausted!"
With no sign of the wolves trailing her, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but collapse onto the ground, not caring how messy she looked sprawled out like that.
After all, there was no one around to witness her disheveled state.
As she lay down to rest, Le Yao Yao thought that she would take a moment to regain her strength before signaling for Yuta and the others to come find her.
At this point, she was so tired that she didn't even have the energy to lift a finger.
A gentle evening breeze swept through.
The night forest was dark and eerie.
The trees were dense, their branches intertwining. The centuries-old towering trees blocked out most of the moonlight, leaving only a faint glimmer of cold light and scattered stars filtering through the foliage.
Fortunately, Le Yao Yao held a torch in her hand, allowing her to see her surroundings clearly.
However, she didn’t plan to stay here much longer.
Even though she had evaded the wolves and bears, it didn’t mean there weren’t other venomous snakes or fierce beasts lurking in the forest!
Just as she was thinking this, Le Yao Yao suddenly heard a strange sound coming from beside her.
A hissing sound echoed, as if something was crawling by, and it seemed to be flicking its tongue...
Flicking its tongue!?
Oh no, isn't that something only snakes do!?
Le Yao Yao felt a jolt of fear at this thought, constantly praying to the heavens.
Heavens! Please spare the Young Lady! She really doesn't have the strength to deal with this right now!
And God knows, her greatest fear is snakes!
If it were a black bear or a pack of wolves, she wouldn't be nearly as terrified.
But when it comes to cold-blooded creatures that crawl without hands or feet, Le Yao Yao was utterly petrified!
With her heart racing and fear gripping her, she continued to pray that things wouldn’t turn out as she feared.
However, it seemed the heavens did not hear her pleas. As Le Yao Yao slowly stiffened and raised her torch towards the source of the sound, she was met with the sight of a Black Snake slithering right beside her foot. Her scalp went numb!
Oh no! It really is a snake!
Moreover, this snake was jet black and over a meter long, continuously flicking its crimson tongue. Even a three-year-old child would recognize it as a venomous snake!
Le Yao Yao felt like crying but had no tears. Why was she so unlucky today!?
Wasn’t she just spared from being crushed by a black bear and torn apart by wolves, only to end up bitten by a poisonous snake?
Le Yao Yao felt a tightness in her chest, her heart racing violently at that moment.
The sound of her heartbeat echoed loudly in the stillness of the night.
It seemed as if her blood had frozen in that instant; she dared not move, fearing that any slight motion would provoke the venomous snake into striking.
She knew that snakes were afraid of fire, so she had planned to move the torch closer to scare it away.
However, just as she slightly shifted her grip on the torch, the snake seemed to sense her intention. Its upper body suddenly rose, and its blood-red eyes fixed on her with a fierce vigilance, making Le Yao Yao hold her breath in fear.
Oh my God!
What kind of snake was this!? How could it be so clever!? It even figured out her plan!?
Could it have already turned into a demon!?
Le Yao Yao thought in horror, ultimately lying rigidly on the ground, praying anxiously that the snake would simply slither away and not bite her.
This time, perhaps her prayers were heard by the heavens.
The venomous snake paused for a moment at her feet after noticing she had stopped moving. Then, it turned its head and slowly began to crawl away.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao's heart, which had been hanging high with anxiety, finally began to settle down.
Her beautiful little face was now drenched in cold sweat. She didn’t even dare to wipe it away!
Only after seeing that the snake had moved about a meter away and was no longer looking back did Le Yao Yao cautiously rise from the ground.
However, at that moment, the once silent forest was suddenly filled with the sound of hooves and an anxious shout.
"Le Yao Yao, where are you!? Le Yao Yao!"
It was Yu!?
Hearing that voice, Le Yao Yao felt a surge of joy in her heart. Without a second thought, she called out in response to the source of the sound.
"Yu, I'm here!"
As soon as she spoke, Le Yao Yao hurriedly got up from the ground and raised her torch to attract Yu's attention, hoping he would come over.
Little did she know, this action not only caught Leng Junyu's attention but also alerted the venomous snake that had intended to leave. In an instant, before Le Yao Yao could react, the snake shot towards her like an arrow.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao gasped in shock. The first thing that came to her mind was to quickly retreat.
However, she moved fast, but the snake was even quicker!
Le Yao Yao felt a sharp pain in her calf and realized she had been bitten! Before she could lament her misfortune, she discovered that in this world, there was no such thing as tragedy—only greater tragedies!
Because while she had been hastily dodging the snake, she had failed to notice that behind her was a slope!
Thus, after being bitten by the snake, before the pain in her leg could fully register, Le Yao Yao felt herself tilt and immediately lost her balance, tumbling down the slope behind her!
In that instant, her mind went blank; she couldn't think of anything.
As she fell down the slope, it seemed as if she saw a figure in black rushing towards her at lightning speed. Then, just as she fell, she was tightly embraced by a warm body.
This embrace felt incredibly familiar, and the scent was a faint hint of Ambergris, something only he possessed...
At this thought, Le Yao Yao couldn't understand why her heart, which had once been filled with fear, now felt calm.
So no matter how much they were tumbling down the hillside at that moment, as long as he was by her side, she wouldn't fear even death!
After what felt like a dizzying whirlwind, Le Yao Yao realized that her rolling body had finally come to a stop.
However, before she could register any pain, worry immediately surged within her.
"Yu, are you okay?"
"Le Yao Yao, are you alright?"
The two voices echoed in unison. After they spoke, their eyes met. Seeing the deep concern reflected in each other's gaze brought both joy and emotion to their hearts.
After all, in the face of life and death, the first thought they had for each other was mutual!
Yet, Le Yao Yao's joyful expression quickly turned to panic upon noticing the obvious bruise forming on Leng Junyu's forehead.
"Oh my! Yu, you're hurt!"
Looking at the large swelling on Leng Junyu's once smooth forehead, Le Yao Yao felt an overwhelming sense of heartache. She recalled how he had tightly shielded her with his body as they rolled down. Now, she only felt a bit dizzy while being completely unharmed.
With this realization, Le Yao Yao felt both love and gratitude for the man before her.
"Yu, let me see the injury on your forehead!"
"It's nothing, I just bumped into something accidentally."
Seeing Le Yao Yao's worried expression, Leng Junyu quickly reassured her.
Then, as if recalling something, Cold Eyes swept his gaze over Le Yao Yao, examining her from head to toe, and asked anxiously, "Le Yao Yao, are you alright?!"
Noticing Leng Junyu's intense concern, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but smile, her red lips curving slightly. "I'm fine, really..."
She intended to comfort Leng Junyu, but inadvertently tugged at the wound on her foot.
A sharp pain shot through her calf, causing Le Yao Yao to wince and gasp in pain.
It suddenly dawned on her that she had indeed been bitten by a venomous snake earlier! She hadn’t realized it until now, having rolled down with Yu in the chaos.
She hadn’t noticed it before, but now that she did, it felt as if a sharp knife was stabbing into her calf, the pain piercing deep.
Seeing Le Yao Yao in distress, Cold Eyes quickly noticed the wound on her leg as well.
His handsome brows furrowed immediately.
"This is bad; you've been bitten by a snake!"
After saying this, Leng Junyu reached out his hands and promptly rolled up Le Yao Yao's pants before removing her shoes and socks.
Le Yao Yao immediately understood what Leng Junyu intended to do and hurriedly tried to stop him, saying, "No, Yu, this snake is poisonous. You mustn't... ah..."
Before Le Yao Yao could finish her sentence, she saw the man seemingly ignoring her warning. Without a second thought, he bent down and pressed his lips against the wound on her foot, then began to suck out the venom.
Le Yao Yao gasped in shock at the sight.
However, seeing Leng Junyu so determined to extract the snake venom despite her protests made her lips part slightly, and she fell silent.
Yet, her beautiful eyes were clouded with worry.
Is this what it means to see true feelings in times of trouble!?
Le Yao Yao thought to herself. When Leng Junyu finally finished sucking out the venom and tore a piece of his clothing to bandage her calf wound, she snapped back to reality and looked at the man before her, whose lips were still stained with blood.
"Yu, that snake is poisonous! Aren't you afraid at all!?"
Le Yao Yao's voice was laced with unmasked concern and reproach.
However, after hearing her words, the man merely smiled lightly and replied, "That Black Bear was incredibly fierce just now. Yet you still distracted it for me! If you aren't afraid, why should I be!?"
Thinking back to how Le Yao Yao had deliberately embraced the Little Black Bear to draw away the Black Bear for his sake, Leng Junyu felt a lingering fear.
If it weren't for the fact that this Young Lady had impressive lightness skills, he truly couldn't imagine what might have happened.
"Fool, don't ever do something so dangerous again, do you understand!?"
"Yu, I'm sorry for worrying you. I didn't think much at the time; I just wanted to make sure you weren't hurt, so I..."
At this point, Le Yao Yao didn't know how to continue.
She bit her lower lip lightly and lowered her Beautiful Eyes.
Her demeanor resembled that of a student who feared being scolded by a teacher for doing something wrong.
However, she was unaware that at this moment, she appeared incredibly charming in someone else's eyes, evoking a sense of pity and affection.
This made the man’s heart race; his Adam's Apple rolled as he gazed at Le Yao Yao with increasingly heated eyes.
When Le Yao Yao noticed this, she hadn’t yet reacted when she found the handsome face before her suddenly close. In an instant, her soft pink lips were captured by the man's.
After five years apart, this was their first kiss in all that time.
Although it had been five years since they had been this intimate, Le Yao Yao felt no unfamiliarity with the man’s kiss.
The kiss was gentle and careful; his long tongue intertwined with her little Lilac, gradually making her lose herself in the moment, unable to extricate herself...
Time seemed to stretch on for what felt like a century until the two, lost in their kiss and nearly out of breath, had to part.
As their lips separated, they caught sight of the strands of sweetness connecting their mouths.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt her Cheeks heat up. Her Beautiful Eyes lowered as she took a deep breath and bit her lower lip.
The man, seeing this, felt a burning heat in his gaze that did not fade. Under the moonlight, he noticed the remnants of their shared sweetness on the woman's lips and, unable to resist, stepped forward to kiss away the honey at the corner of her mouth.
"Ah..."
Startled by such an intimate gesture, Le Yao Yao instinctively took a step back and nearly stumbled. Fortunately, Leng Junyu was quick to react, pulling her tightly into his embrace.
"Be careful not to fall."
"Uh, it's all because of you..."
Hearing his words, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but mutter under her breath. The man’s handsome face flushed slightly at her comment, a hint of embarrassment coloring his cheeks.
Fortunately, the moonlight provided cover, preventing anyone from noticing his unusual reaction.
The forest at night was chillingly cold.
Le Yao Yao sat on the ground for a while, and as a gentle evening breeze swept through, she shivered involuntarily.
Noticing this, the man tightened his hold around her.
"Are you cold?"
"Yes."
Le Yao Yao replied softly.
Being held by him, inhaling his familiar scent in the warmth of his embrace made her feel as if her lonely little boat had finally found its harbor. She no longer feared any storms or winds because no matter what danger she faced, he would always be by her side...
As she thought of this, Le Yao Yao suddenly felt warm inside.
The warmth surged from her heart.
With this thought, Le Yao Yao nuzzled against the man, her demeanor completely dependent and affectionate, resembling a cute little kitten. The man couldn't help but smile, his cold eyes softening with tenderness.
However, he remained silent, simply holding Le Yao Yao in his arms. He instructed her to pick up the torch that had fallen to the ground. Then, Cold Eyes scanned the surroundings and seemed to notice something. His eyes flickered as he spoke.
"There’s a cave over there; let’s go rest for a bit."
After saying this, Leng Junyu carried Le Yao Yao toward the cave.
Yet, in the nighttime forest, there were all sorts of venomous snakes and fierce beasts lurking about, especially in caves—who knew what might be waiting for them inside?
Le Yao Yao felt that she had already had enough bad luck for one day. So, before they reached the cave, she gestured for Leng Junyu not to enter just yet. Instead, she quickly picked up a large stone from the ground and threw it into the cave.
Hearing only the sound of the stone hitting the ground and no strange noises coming from within, Le Yao Yao finally felt relieved and allowed Leng Junyu to carry her inside.
The cave was small but served as a good shelter from the cold.
Once inside, Leng Junyu set Le Yao Yao down and went outside to gather some dry branches to start a fire.
As the branches ignited one by one, the previously dark and chilly cave instantly transformed into a bright and warm space.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao quickly extended her hands toward the fire to warm herself. Leng Junyu then signaled at the entrance to let Dongfang Bai and the others know they were there.
As soon as Leng Junyu stepped into the cave, Le Yao Yao, who had been warming herself by the fire, immediately pulled him over to sit beside her. Her beautiful eyes fixed intently on his forehead as she expressed her concern.
"Let me see your forehead."
"Le Yao Yao, it's nothing, just a minor injury."
Seeing Le Yao Yao gently touch her forehead, Leng Junyu couldn't help but reach out, enveloping her cool little hand in his larger one.
Feeling the softness of her delicate fingers, so fragile and tender against his skin, made Leng Junyu's heart skip a beat.
Especially as he gazed at her rosy lips so close to him, he couldn't help but recall that sweet and incredible kiss they had just shared. With that thought, his heart stirred once more.
His slightly thin lips slowly moved closer to Le Yao Yao's soft pink ones.
However, just as Leng Junyu was about to press his lips against hers, he noticed that Le Yao Yao, completely unaware of the moment, suddenly brightened her eyes as if she had remembered something.
"Right! How could I forget? I have medicine for bruises with me!"
At her age, Xuan was very active and often ended up with bumps and bruises. Therefore, she always carried some medicine for such injuries just in case.
But in the chaos earlier, she had forgotten all about it. Now that she finally remembered, Le Yao Yao quickly pulled out a small bottle of medicine from her waist and cheerfully said to Leng Junyu, "Here, let me apply some medicine for you!"
Watching the kiss slip away from his grasp made Leng Junyu feel a bit frustrated.
Yet seeing Le Yao Yao's genuine concern for him filled his heart with sweetness, as if it were overflowing with honey.
This woman who made him feel both love and tenderness...
Leng Junyu sighed inwardly, but he did not say much. He simply allowed Le Yao Yao to gently apply the ointment for him.
He felt her fingers, so delicate and tender, gliding over his injured forehead like a feather, accompanied by a refreshing sensation.
This made Leng Junyu's cold eyes narrow slightly, his face filled with an expression of enjoyment and satisfaction.
At first glance, he resembled a lazy and noble African Leopard, exuding endless charm!
