Chapter 376 Lost Love

When Nan Lijun pretended to be delicate and tried to get words out of him, he remained silent and indifferent.

She remained silent and unmoved as she masterfully portrayed the role of a weak woman.

No matter what kind of woman she was, whether she was playful, angry, arrogant, or foolish and ruthless... she only made him suppress his love, feel regret and heartache, and could not stir up any other waves.

But when she jumped off the slope without hesitation and tried to prove her innocence by committing suicide;

When she, the crown prince of Nan Kingdom, confessed and proved her love to a small guard.

Buyan's heart was completely shaken.

It was like a deadly storm suddenly rising out of nowhere, and only his arms could build a wall to protect her.

Just looking at her from afar was not enough, he suddenly had the urge to protect her for the rest of his life.

"Sorry, Your Highness, I'm a personal guard of the Huo Gang."

At the end of the snow, Bu Yan hugged Nan Lijun tightly - then helped her stand up, stepped back three steps gracefully, and concealed his sorrow, telling her clearly:

I am a member of the Huo Gang's personal guard. I cannot love you.

Although Bu Yan perfectly fulfilled his promise of loyal protection, he felt inexplicably guilty in his heart and almost dared not look directly into Nan Lijun's tearful and disappointed eyes.

Amidst Nan Lijun's heartbroken sobs, Buyan called the princess's personal guards to escort her back to the tent, then left without looking back.

Bu Yan returned to Yun Chen and continued to sit beside the couch to guard him.

His ears and eyes were alert to his surroundings, but his heart was in a mess and he couldn't calm down. He didn't even notice when Yun Chen woke up.

"Brother Buyan, what's wrong with you? Are you heartbroken?"

Yun Chen's voice was hoarse. What he said was just a joke, but it hit the nail on the head.

He gave a bitter smile and wanted to say, "We haven't even started dating yet, how can we lose anything?" The next moment he realized that Yun Chen had finally woken up. He jumped up from the stool in joy and kept shouting:

"Achen! Achen!! Achen!!"

Yun Chen raised his hands to cover his ears:

“So noisy.”

Buyan shouted excitedly for a while, completely forgetting the differences between men and women, and went straight forward to hug Yun Chen.

Yun Chen didn't see Buyan's expression, he only heard his voice suddenly become very low:

"Achen, I'm sorry, I almost hurt you..."

Yun Chen thought that she was just being swept away by the blizzard when escaping from the royal court, so he patted Bu Yan's shoulder to comfort her, not knowing that he was almost killed in his sleep.

Looking around the tent, except for a blood-red figure vaguely visible on the top of the beam, there were only her and Buyan. Huo Gannian and the others were not there.

"Brother Buyan, where are Anian and the others?"

"We went to intercept the Black Scale Cavalry to prevent them from joining up with Luo Jiang's troops. We've been gone for fifteen days."

Yun Chen estimated the time and thought that Huo Gannian should have met and fought with Jiao Zuotai's side.

For the first time, she felt uneasy when she couldn't see him, and she finally understood how anxious he felt every time she fought hard regardless of the consequences.

Yun Chen was anxious and wished he could go to the battlefield right now to help Huo Gannian, but his wounds had not healed yet and his calf, which was scratched by the bear, hurt when touched.

Not to mention picking up a sword and going into battle, it's even difficult for her to take two steps now.

So in the next few days, Yun Chen could only walk around the camp all day, trying to recover faster.

She walked slowly in front, and Buyan followed leisurely behind with a rope in his hand.

She looked back without saying a word, then looked at herself again, and protested rather dissatisfiedly:

"Brother Buyan, where are you walking the dog?"

Buyan grinned: "If you faint, I can use the rope to drag you back."

Yun Chen waved his fist in protest, then squatted down with a grin, rolled up a snowball from the ground and threw it at Bu Yan's head.

The latter patted the snow off his head, lay directly on the ground, stretched out his arms, and pulled them into his arms, as if he was going to make a super big snowball.

"Not good!" Yun Chen saw that the situation was not good, and quickly limped away, jokingly shouting "Help, help!"

A complacent voice came from behind:

"Just because you're injured, I'll give you a small one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a snowball bigger than Yun Chen's head flew straight towards him.

She laughed and tried to dodge, but unfortunately she couldn't run fast enough, so she could only curl up to the side, hug her head, and prepare for the attack.

Not feeling the expected coldness, she looked up and saw the Cloud-Swallowing Beast running towards her from somewhere, blocking the snowball attack for her by placing its body between her and Buyan.

She looked at the Cloud-Swallowing Beast in surprise. Its shiny black fur looked very much like the dog Xiaoliu.

The Cloud-Swallowing Beast didn't know what Yun Chen was thinking, but it could see the smile in Yun Chen's eyes slowly disappear, replaced by hostility full of resistance.

Yun Chen ignored the kindness and walked straight around the Cloud-Swallowing Beast.

Instead, Bu Yan patted the Cloud Swallowing Beast's head with satisfaction and praised:

"This horse is pretty good! It probably heard you yelling 'Help' and took it seriously, so it came to rescue you!"

Yun Chen didn't want to pay attention to this, but unexpectedly the Cloud-Swallowing Beast suddenly opened its mouth and bit him, and the sound of its teeth knocking against each other was very loud, which sounded like it was biting very hard.

Without saying a word, he cried out "Ouch!", covered his palms and jumped up and down, cursing in pain:

"This guy is so vindictive! Damn it! He bit me until I bled!"

"Don't bite people randomly!" Yun Chen slapped the Cloud-Swallowing Beast on the head without thinking.

The Cloud-Swallowing Beast did not hide, nor did it fight back. It just glanced at Yun Chen indifferently and walked away again.

Seeing this, Yun Chen walked towards the snowy depression opposite to the Cloud-Swallowing Beast.

The man and the horse seemed to be sulking, which was very confusing.

"Achen, the snow ahead is too deep, don't go!" Buyan wanted to stop Yunchen, but suddenly two palace servants came and said that Nanlijun had sent another message to find him.

Glancing at the Wuyi Blood Guards and personal soldiers not far away, and thinking that Yun Chen had woken up now and no one could easily assassinate him again, Buyan had no choice but to say, "Achen, be obedient and don't play in the snow! You will feel cold when the snow gets wet, and your injury hasn't healed yet!" Then he left with the palace people.

Yun Chen was feeling unhappy and refused to listen to Bu Yan's words, and walked forward on his own.

At this time, the Cloud-Swallowing Beast suddenly turned back for some reason and used its body to block Yun Chen, preventing her from moving forward.

Yun Chen didn't want to pay attention to it, so he limped around and tried to change direction, but the Cloud-Swallowing Beast blocked his way again.

If Yun Chen goes to the left, it blocks the left; if Yun Chen goes to the right, it blocks the right.

After a few rounds, Yun Chen finally got angry and shouted at the Cloud Swallowing Beast:

"Get out of here!"

The Cloud Swallowing Beast raised its head and pointed to its back, as if to say, "Come on my back, I'll carry you to see the snow."

Yun Chen frowned, "I don't know you well!!"

After she said that, she felt ridiculous. The Cloud-Swallowing Beast was just a horse, not a human. Why did she say that?

But the Swallowing Cloud Beast obviously understood and no longer insisted that Yun Chen get on its back. It just spread out its four hooves and held its body firmly, as if to make it clear that it would not let Yun Chen go.

You know what, when he gets stubborn, he really looks like a human being.
