Xie Lingqin's lips held a coldness.
"You can tame one or two, but you can't tame so many at the same time. While you're fighting them, I'm absolutely confident I can step in. Of course, I'm not one to stand by and watch someone die. If Your Highness can lend me a hand, I will definitely remember your previous kindness and fight these bears with you." Xie Lingqin spoke boastfully and frankly.
However, Yuwen Yao did not make the slightest movement. The hem of his robe with gold cloud patterns fluttered in the wind. His eyes were deep and cold, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking, but Xie Lingqin had a feeling that he must have ill intentions.
She didn't think the Crown Prince had a better option right now.
Unless he is not afraid of death.
Or is there really a way to tame so many bears in a short period of time?
That prince is truly remarkable.
As Xie Lingqin's mind raced, she suddenly saw a dark shadow flash before her eyes, and then the vine she was holding onto clearly began to sag downwards.
Xie Lingqin raised her eyes, and her expression turned ugly.
The prince even jumped onto the vine, now perched above her, looking down at her with a disdainful air.
"In this way, I will be on top and you on the bottom, let's see who dies first."
Xie Lingqin gritted her teeth, "Your Highness, this is shameless of you."
"If you want to come up here, you should think carefully about my suggestion."
Xie Lingqin "..."
Wait, something doesn't sound right.
Looking at the Crown Prince again, his expression was indifferent, but a hint of evil was clearly flowing in his eyes, and his eyebrows and eyes were telling Xie Lingqin that she could not do anything to him.
That's so unethical!
The vines were already damaged, and if the remaining bears also liked to eat vines, then adding a person's weight for no reason would only accelerate the fall.
"That way, even if we fall, you'll be the one to take the fall." The Crown Prince spoke again calmly, with an air of nonchalance, his gaze deep and serene, like that of a compassionate and merciful immortal.
Xie Lingqin gritted her teeth slightly.
She certainly didn't believe that the Crown Prince had lost his mind and really wanted to die with her.
Given his exceptional lightness skill just now, leaping across rooftops and scaling walls would have made leaving this place a matter of minutes. She had deliberately provoked him to leave. As an assassin, she had seen all sorts of situations and had her own methods, but he deliberately chose to torment her like this.
Why?
Yuwen Yao remained motionless, easily gripping the vines. The high pavilion was spacious and elegant, his robes fluttering in the wind. Looking up from below, one could see that his eyes were clear and bright amidst the hazy clouds, his thick eyelashes as black as ink, and his features as sculpted as a winding mountain range.
and--
The atmosphere was deathly silent.
Just as Xie Lingqin had predicted, these bears really did love eating vines at the edge of the cliff…
"Your Highness, speak your mind." Xie Lingqin finally conceded defeat.
When your life is in danger, what's the point of maintaining integrity?
"Next time, don't try to negotiate with me." Yuwen Yao's voice was deep and arrogant, his eyes calm and expressionless. After speaking, he finally slid down lightly, and in the next instant, he grabbed Xie Lingqin and easily climbed to the edge of the cliff. He then flew past the menacing black bears and flew a long way before finally putting her down.
Of course, it was done very rudely.
Fortunately, Xie Lingqin was agile and, seeing that she was about to fall, she rolled on the spot, thus avoiding a terrible fall.
This prince is definitely sick...
Before she could finish her internal monologue, Xie Lingqin looked at the Crown Prince in astonishment.
After abandoning her, the prince pulled a handkerchief from his robes and began wiping his hands.
Wipe the hand that had just twisted her sleeve.
Oh!
Why didn't she put some poison on his shoulder earlier and kill that monster?
"Thank you for saving me, Your Highness. I am deeply grateful." A wise person knows when to yield; though she harbored many complaints in her heart, her words were extremely respectful.
The obvious submissiveness made Yuwen Yao pause in wiping his hands.
"Yes, wash this clean and send it to the Crown Prince's residence," Yuwen Yao said. Then, he turned around, the setting sun red, his tall and handsome figure a picture of elegance.
It's true, just like losing a handkerchief without taking away a single cloud.
As for Xie Lingqin...
Slowly, very slowly, with veins bulging, she removed the handkerchief from her head that read, "The Crown Prince ordered her to wash it and send it to the Crown Prince's residence."
Your Highness, why don't you go to heaven?
Xie Lingqin's face darkened, as if she had been trampled on.
No, she was certain that the crown prince was trampling on her. He didn't want to know why she knew he was poisoned, otherwise he wouldn't have just left like that.
Xie Lingqin's expression grew increasingly grim as she thought about it. She glanced at the silk handkerchief again and then casually tucked it into her sleeve.
It seems that strength is everything.
We'll settle this score later.
...
---Aside---
Xinzhi: Your Highness, what you're doing is quite shameless.
Xie Lingqin: Let him act up, let him act up as much as he wants. His current antics are for future consequences.
Xinzhi nodded: That makes sense, she truly is my leading lady.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her coldly: "Heh, your family won't need to buy razor blades anymore."
Shinji (curious and adorable face): Why?
Hahaha~ I'll write a little skit while uploading this post~ ╮（╯▽╰）╭
