Chapter 159 I Want to Hug Her Again
Yu Nian spent 5,000 merit points to expand the space by one square meter, barely managing to squeeze the truffles in. Only then did Yu Nian realize that Chunyu Han's smile was really expensive.
The moment she unfolded the teleportation scroll with the truffle, Deadpool was sending an urgent secret report to the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, the men lurking in the hunting grounds have already made their move. Yesterday, they discovered that Chunyu Han and Hai Yan, the deputy of the Eastern Depot, went to the outer perimeter of the hunting grounds alone, seemingly to meet with someone. They have already carried out the encirclement and killing according to Your Highness's orders."
Li Mingjin stood before the candle, listening to the death servant's report, feeling quite pleased.
After plotting for so long, he was finally going to get rid of this treacherous eunuch who was causing trouble for the court.
Ha, Chunyu Han thinks he can escape this calamity by meeting a day earlier than planned?
In his previous life, Li Mingjin roughly knew the time, but not the exact day, so he laid a trap in the hunting grounds ten days in advance.
"But Chunyu Han was too cunning. Although he was seriously injured, he still managed to escape into the Canaan Valley outside the hunting grounds."
Li Mingjin was not angry when he heard that Chunyu Han had escaped. If Chunyu Han was so easy to kill, then he was not worthy of being his formidable enemy.
But even if he entered the Canaan Valley, he would only be at his wit's end.
Canaan Valley is a notoriously dangerous place, with complex terrain and rampant jackals and tigers. During this season, even hunters who travel in the wild year-round dare not venture into the mountains late at night.
Li Mingjin actually hoped that Chunyu Han could live one more night in the valley so that his men could execute him personally.
"Send the order by carrier pigeon to block the passage through the valley. At daybreak, let the Blood Shadow Pavilion men enter the mountain. Anyone with Chunyu Han should be killed without exception. Whoever takes Chunyu Han's head will be richly rewarded."
Li Mingjin sneered. This time, he was determined to make Chunyu Han unable to escape.
...
Everything has two sides, and this abstract principle is vividly demonstrated in Yu Nian's system.
Using the teleportation scroll felt to Yu Nian like riding a high-speed pendulum ride, followed by a seamless transition to a high-altitude drop tower.
Previously, Yu Nian thought that riding Chunyu Han's fast horse had already scared her half to death, but now if she were to describe the feeling of riding a teleportation scroll...
Yu Nian just wanted to say that it would be better to just let her die.
"Ugh... ugh..."
The disposable scroll transformed into shimmering golden light and dissipated into the night. Yu Nian, leaning against the tree trunk, almost vomited up bile.
Fortunately, Yu Nian managed to put the truffle into her spatial storage, otherwise she would still have to take care of it.
[I told you to take some motion sickness pills beforehand, but you insisted on saving your merit points. Now you know how uncomfortable it is!]
"Uh, good deeds should be used wisely... Sixth Brother, you're still not off work?"
Yu Nian untied the water bag, took a sip, rinsed her mouth, shook her groggy head, and tried to perk herself up.
[Tsk tsk, now you're being stingy. I saw you swapping things for Chunyu Han without even blinking an eye.]
The sixth brother sighed and said in a slightly resentful tone.
I'm getting old, and if I'm woken up in the middle of the night, I easily lose sleep.
The scroll transmission would have an error of about ten meters. Yu Nian opened the navigation and had already located Chunyu Han's position.
"Just tell me you're worried about me."
Yu Nian pushed through the grass and walked forward. The valley was wet everywhere, and the ground was muddy, so it must have just rained.
"Sixth Master, I'm just worried that if you die, we'll have to find another host, which is a lot of trouble."
This sixth brother… Yu Nian chuckled softly, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
"With you here, I don't think I'll die."
The navigation in her mind showed that she was getting closer and closer to the red dot. Yu Nian quickened her pace, and her heart was beating faster and faster.
Chunyu Han, wait for me, you must hold on.
It had just rained, and the bright moon was completely obscured by dark clouds. The sky was dark and gloomy, shrouded in a cold, damp atmosphere.
The rainwater remaining on the leaves and branches soaked Yu Nian's clothes, and the cold made her shiver.
Yu Nian groped her way forward in the darkness. She couldn't just light a fire to provide light; she needed to observe the situation first.
If Chunyu Han wasn't alone, the sudden burst of flames would have become their death warrant.
After passing through a row of low bushes, Yu Nian finally saw Chunyu Han's figure in the darkness.
His dark clothes blended into the night, only the long sword in his hand gleamed coldly.
There was no one else around Chunyu Han, but he remained in a fighting stance, his gaze following the direction of Chunyu Han's sword. Yu Nian stared wide-eyed in horror.
Three feet away from Chunyu Han, a white tiger with piercing eyes was lurking!
In the darkness, a pair of eerie green eyes stared intently at Chunyu Han.
Judging from the situation, the tiger was already injured, and quite badly so, and was gathering its strength, looking for a weakness in the human in front of it.
Yu Nian gasped. First, he was attacked and seriously injured by an assassin, and then he was attacked by a tiger. If Cang Hai had to bring his men, Chunyu Han would probably have been buried by now.
The tigers in the mountains and wilds are completely different from the ones I used to see in the zoo. Even from a distance, I could still feel the oppressive aura emanating from the king of beasts.
We need to do something right away!
Yu Nian took out two pieces of cotton cloth from her spatial storage, wrapped the stone in them, poured kerosene on it, and made it into a fireball.
She hurled the lit fireball with all her might, aiming it towards the white tiger.
The danger signal released by burning flames can temporarily deter wild animals.
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the firelight, the tiger roared loudly. By the light of the fire, Yu Nian could see the sharp, white teeth in the tiger's gaping maw.
If it bites someone...
Yu Nian dared not think any further. Seeing that things were not going well, the tiger leaped into the dark forest and disappeared without a trace.
Yu Nian rushed over to check on Chunyu Han's condition.
The closer they got to Chunyu Han, the stronger the stench of blood emanating from him became.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Chunyu Han instinctively raised his sword.
Chunyu Han's pale face was devoid of any color, but the firelight illuminated his profile, revealing the icy killing intent in his dark eyes.
“Chunyu Han…”
Yu Nian called out to him, but Chunyu Han did not react. Instead, the sword in his hand moved even closer to Yu Nian's neck.
Yu Nian stared into those chilling eyes, which were devoid of any consciousness, like a ferocious beast that only knew how to fight. Chunyu Han was now relying entirely on his instincts to stay alive.
The cut on his left shoulder was extremely deep, close to his neck, and the white bone could be vaguely seen in the flesh.
That must hurt so much...
"My husband, it's me. I've come to take you home."
Yu Nian's voice trembled slightly, not because of fear of Chunyu Han, but because of a dull ache in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Chunyu Han finally paused for a moment.
He was blinded by rage, his vision blurred by blood, becoming ruthless and bloodthirsty... but he could still recognize her voice.
Nian Nian...
He knew he couldn't hold on any longer; he hadn't avenged his great grudge, and he was filled with resentment.
But it's good to hear her voice before I die.
It would be even better if I could hug her again.
The blood-stained longsword he was clutching fell to the damp forest floor with a thud.
The man before him, who was filled with murderous intent and vigilance, dropped all his defenses the moment he heard that call.
His body plummeted downwards, and his heavy eyes closed.
