“…”
Eliminate!
The way she said this made it sound as if she had done something wrong. If he hadn't jumped off the cliff for no reason, would she have been so sad?
Qin Ye stood up straight, put on a stern face, and explained:
"This cave is too dark. I can't see the way clearly. Be careful of snakes and insects."
The implication is: The reason you can't stand steadily is because it's too dark, not because you're panicking.
As a person who has lived two lives, what storms and waves has she not seen? Isn't it just a man? Her goal in this life: sleep with 20 men.
Zong Zhengchen glanced at the bonfire at the entrance of the cave.
The bonfire shone over, illuminating the space inside the cave, and also onto her face, outlining her eyebrows and features clearly.
"Yes," he nodded, "This cave is indeed too dark. Let me go ahead and explore the way. If there are any snakes, insects, ghosts or monsters, the princess can run away quickly."
After he finished speaking, he took a big step and walked ahead.
Qin Ye bit his lip, too lazy to argue with him. The most urgent thing was to escape quickly.
This cave is located in the mountain wall. After tens of thousands of years of wind, rain, sun and rock erosion, a natural cave was formed, which is neither deep nor shallow.
After a circle, there is no way out.
Qin Ye panicked.
If there is no road, it means the only way to go is through the hole you came in through.
But there was a mountain several meters high above the entrance of the cave, so I couldn't go up; and there was a bottomless cliff below, so I didn't dare jump.
Unless you grow wings and fly, you will be trapped here and starve or freeze to death.
No!
"Is there really no exit?"
She rushed forward quickly, knocking on the stone walls with her fists, "How could it be... such a deep cave, even snakes can come up, how could there be no exit?"
She doesn't believe it.
How can snakes climb so high?
Zong Zhengchen stood to one side and said in a deep voice: "Princess, there is no need to waste your time. The Guangning Mountain is a mountain range with many peaks connected to each other. The deeper the cave is, the deeper the mountain is. The only exit..."
He looked toward the cave entrance.
"Are we all going to die here?"
She doesn't want to die yet.
Qin Ye was unwilling to give up and searched for a long time, knocking and hitting, but still couldn't find a way out. Dejected, he returned to the campfire, only to see the man skewering the dead snake on a branch and roasting it.
He is about to die, and he is still thinking about filling his stomach?
However, she was a little hungry.
This snake smells pretty good.
It seems that when you reach a dead end, you are not afraid of anything.
She licked her dry lips and sat down cross-legged, "Hey, aren't you afraid of death?"
Zong Zhengchen chuckled: "Everyone has to die, sooner or later. If you can fulfill your life's wish before you die, then you will die a worthy death. Being able to go on the road with the princess will not be lonely."
Qin Ye laughed out loud.
She also didn't expect that she died of exhaustion in her previous life, and in this life she would die together with the man she hated most.
"Don't be afraid." The man raised his eyes and looked at her, "I am here."
The four low words expanded in the quiet cave air, deep and heavy. The man's dark eyes reflected the firelight, like the tip of a melting iceberg, and an unreal tenderness seemed to flow out.
With this king here...
He had said the same thing when he was on the cliff.
These four words seemed to have magical power, and they soothed Qin Ye's heart unknowingly.
"I just...feel a little regretful."
"What's the regret?"
"It's a pity that Your Highness is so talented in both civil and military affairs, smart and wise, suave and strategizing, and one in a million. It's a great loss to Dongling Country that such an outstanding person has to die young!"
——Of course I regret that I died too early, before I could divorce you. My dream of buying a big house and keeping eighteen male favorites can only be fulfilled in the next life.
——Why don't I ask you for a divorce letter now? That way you won't haunt me even after you die.
