It was dark, and they had nowhere to hide.
"It's blood! Quickly stop Xu Shixun's bleeding!"
Yu Fangqingyue's expression changed drastically, and she made a move to grab Xu Shixun, but Xu Shixun had already pounced on them. Although his face had turned pale due to blood loss, he still desperately splattered blood on Li Qingyu and Yu Fangqingyue.
"Hmph, now that you're here, don't bother leaving."
Xu Shixun is smiling.
"Are you crazy?" Yuwen Qingyue's expression changed drastically as soon as she finished speaking, because at least twenty snow wolves emerged one by one, tightly surrounding them.
"Use his life to pay for it."
Li Qingyu's expression also changed drastically. After saying the words, she raised her hand and threw Xu Shixun several meters away.
"Aww—"
Only one snow wolf saw the food and its eyes lit up. However, the wolves were not stupid. One of them moved closer and closer to Xu Shixun, while the other continued to press close to Li Qingyu and Yuwen Qingyue.
Xu Shixun was terrified as the wolves approached him. However, when he saw more than ten wolves also closing in on Yuwen Qingyue and Li Qingyu, he suddenly stopped being afraid.
He could exchange his life for Li Qingyu's and the Fifth Princess's lives, and protect Lingqin's safety. He was not at a loss.
"Xu Shixun, Xie Lingqin isn't dead, is she? How could you..."
Li Qingyu flicked her long sword, intending to cut Xu Shixun's body in two just as the snow wolf pounced on him.
"what you do?"
At the critical moment, Yuwen Qingyue shouted, "After all, that's Xu Shixun, the young master of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and possibly the future young marquis. Besides, at this moment, it's better to kill these wolves that have already stuck out their tongues and are closing in on us than to kill him!"
"What are we doing? Use half of his body to lure the wolves away so we can escape."
Li Qingyu said.
"Then let's cut off the arm. If that doesn't work, we can try again."
Yuwen Qingyue said.
Li Qingyu sneered, but was also very excited.
Xu Shixun was not about to sit idly by and wait for his death. He hurriedly dodged, and as a result, the snow wolf that had been pouncing on him was now enraged by its failure and went straight for Li Qingyu.
"court death."
"Whoosh—"
With a single slash of his longsword, he cleaved the charging snow wolf in two.
"Waaah—"
Seeing their companion killed, the wolves howled, and in an instant, the original twenty-odd wolves became thirty-odd.
This was enough to horrify Li Qingyu and Yuwen Qingyue.
However, Li Qingyu was very persistent. She rushed forward again, wanting to take half of Xu Shixun's body.
On one side were snow wolves, and on the other side were longswords.
Xu Shixun gritted his teeth, experiencing despair once again.
"hit--"
Debris flew everywhere, clanging loudly in the air and kicking up a flurry of snowflakes, forcing Li Qingyu to retreat.
"Sister Lingqin..."
Xu Shixun was so excited that he couldn't speak when he saw Xie Lingqin kick the snow wolf away and stand in front of him.
"Cough cough..."
Xie Lingqin stared coldly at Li Qingyu opposite her, but spoke to Xu Shixun behind her, "Stop the bleeding quickly."
"Okay, okay..."
"Thank you... Lingqin!"
The woman was slender and dressed in plain clothes, and her face...
Li Qingyu looked at Xie Lingqin, at her face covered in bruises, and could hardly believe it. "Hahahaha, you're Xie Lingqin! Your face... Haha, heaven has eyes! Haha, you're not dead, but you're disfigured! Hahahaha..."
The sound of ecstatic joy pierced the air, sending chills down the spine of those who heard it.
Yuwen Qingyue, who was kicking away a snow wolf, was also stunned.
Xie Lingqin's face was disfigured.
Under the moonlight, her face covered in bruises, if not for her slender and graceful figure, would almost be mistaken for a ghost in the darkness.
Should she laugh or say something?
"But he didn't die."
Xie Lingqin's calm and understated words were enough to stop Li Qingyu's laughter, her eyes churning with hatred, "Then now I will make sure you suffer a terrible death."
"Is that so? You should defeat these snow wolves first."
Xie Lingqin shifted her body to the side, pulling Xu Shixun to dodge left and right, but Li Qingyu pressed closer step by step. Behind her, a graceful sword dance appeared, and Yuwen Qingyue suddenly stopped her.
"what you do?"
Li Qingyu was puzzled.
“Li Qingyu, I suppose you don’t know this, but Father wants Xie Lingqin dead. However, before that, his decree is that I must bring Xie Lingqin back alive.”
Yuwen Qingyue stood protectively in front of Xie Lingqin and looked at Li Qingyu, saying, "As the deputy commander of the Thunder Guard, you should obey the Emperor's decree even more."
"For the Cloud Clan's spiritual arts?"
"Of course, I want her dead even more than you do, so she has nowhere to hide."
"Aww—"
Before they could even think, the pack of wolves attacking them was enough to overwhelm them.
"Sister Lingqin, I'll go distract them, you go first."
Xu Shixun released his hand from under the pressure, intending to let the wound bleed again to lure away the snow wolves. However, Xie Lingqin's hand covered his hand, and suddenly, wisps of shimmering white light appeared in their hands.
Xu Shixun felt that the sensation of blood slowly draining from his body vanished instantly, and his heart warmed. When Xie Lingqin removed her hand, the bleeding had stopped.
"Throw Xu Shixun out as bait."
As the snow wolves approached in greater numbers, Li Qingyu realized the priorities and shouted to Yuwen Qingyue, "Xie Lingqin has no internal energy and is currently very weak. Hurry up! If Xu Shixun is not suitable, we can use her instead. As long as she is alive, the Emperor did not say that she cannot be missing an arm or a leg."
Yuwen Qingyue immediately turned to look at Xie Lingqin, her eyes turning cold. She slapped Xie Lingqin away and grabbed at Xu Shixun.
