Qin Kou'er's face immediately turned cold. She leaped up and used her lightness skill to grab at Lan Xiuyuan by the branches on both sides.

Upon seeing Qin Kou'er launch an attack, her subordinates immediately drew their swords, surrounded Lan Xiuyuan, and attacked Qin Kou'er.

For a moment, the glint of swords and the clash of lightning and thunder made the night seem exceptionally ominous.

Lan Xiuyuan stood at a distance, turned around, and quietly watched Qin Kou'er spread her wings in the night like a phoenix, not knowing what to feel.

Just as Qin Kou'er rushed over and was about to grab Lan Xiuyuan, suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down, hitting the cliff beside them. A breach was suddenly created, and countless streams of mud and gravel rushed down.

Below him stood Lan Xiuyuan, his back to the mudslide.

Qin Kou'er was shocked and lunged even harder, grabbing Lan Xiuyuan and pulling him desperately to the side.

No one can describe just how fast the mudflow was.

When Qin Kou'er pulled Lan Xiuyuan to stand on a protruding rock and looked back, several horses that hadn't had time to dodge had already been swept away by the mudslide.

Lan Xiuyuan's guards were scattered and hid on the tops of big trees due to the impact of the mudslide.

Qin Kou'er quickly surveyed the surrounding terrain. The mudslide was still raging, and the river would soon rise. If the two of them continued to hide on this rock, they would soon be swept away by everything in front of them.

After carefully surveying their surroundings, Qin Kou'er pointed to a large tree not far away and shouted to Lan Xiuyuan, "We two must get to that tree immediately. Then, using the vines as leverage, we'll slowly jump to the top of the cliff. Only in this way can we avoid the mudslide! How's your lightness skill? Can you jump across with me?"

Lan Xiuyuan glanced at the large tree that wasn't too close and shouted, "Give me a handy grip, and I can jump over!"

"Okay! Here's what we'll do: I'll break off two tree branches first. When you use your lightness skill, I'll throw the branches out, and you can use them to reach that big tree! But you have to choose the right time, okay?"

Lan Xiuyuan nodded, "Don't worry, my lightness skill is just as good as my literary talent!"

Qin Kou'er immediately glared at Lan Xiuyuan. What kind of time is this to be praising herself!

What's wrong with these princes? How can they be so narcissistic that they end up killing themselves?

Without getting entangled with Lan Xiuyuan any further, Qin Kou'er turned her head and looked around, then suddenly leaped up and jumped towards the big tree.

Lan Xiuyuan finally understood what a martial arts master was.

Qin Kou'er's body moved like a bird, effortlessly landing on the large tree, breaking off two thick branches, and then floating back down.

"Alright! Get ready now. When I call the time, use your lightness skill to leap over it as fast as you can. Don't think about anything else. When you run out of strength, just step down, and I guarantee you'll step on a tree branch, understand?"

Lan Xiuyuan nodded and said loudly, "Kou'er, your lightness skill is truly rare. I admire you very much!"

Qin Kou'er was truly out of options this time.

Without even looking at Lan Xiuyuan, he calculated the distance and suddenly shouted, "Rise!"

Lan Xiuyuan instantly sprang to his feet and leaped towards the other side with all his might.

Just when he was about to run out of strength, he kicked down without thinking.

By this time, Qin Kou'er's branches had already caught up.

Then, just as Lan Xiuyuan's foot was about to step onto the branch, a small tree next to him suddenly toppled over and smashed directly onto Lan Xiuyuan's leg.

"ah--"

With a scream, Lan Xiuyuan fell straight down into the rushing river.

Without a second thought, Qin Kou'er jumped into the water with Lan Xiuyuan.

---Aside---

I recommend my friend's new novel, "The Husband's Savage Love in a Wealthy Family," by Qingyin Suiqin.

Introduction:

Mu Xiaoyan is a notorious woman in G City. She fell in love with her best friend's boyfriend and then stole her aunt's fiancé. Everyone who mentions her shakes their heads and sighs.

When she was helpless, Mo Shao Chen reached out his hand and said, "If you come with me, they will all shut up."

"Mo Shao Chen, why should I choose you?"

The man raised an eyebrow and looked down at her condescendingly. "I don't like hearing you call me uncle."

Mu Xiaoyan, "..."

Because of this man's single sentence of dislike, Mu Xiaoyan and Mo Shaochen ended up sleeping together every night.

I originally thought that after marriage they were just getting what they needed, a transaction, a couple who were glamorous in public but indifferent in private.

I never expected this man to be such a beast; he insisted on having sex with his wife every night.
