Chapter 223 Hope of Returning
"By the way, why didn't you just leave me behind and run away?"
Under the big tree, Lin You asked while using healing magic to treat his injuries.
Although he had been in a coma before, he could still vaguely sense the situation around him.
Given his serious injuries and dying condition at the time, Ji Yunshuang could have simply abandoned him and escaped by herself.
This will increase the chances of survival a lot.
"You think I don't want to?" Ji Yunshuang glanced at him, took a bite of the dry food in her hand, and said vaguely, "If you hadn't saved me from the space turbulence, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you. Now we are even."
After escaping danger, Ji Yunshuang returned to his previous state.
Perhaps because she was no longer alone, she became a lot more relaxed and no longer as nervous and cautious as before.
Lin You looked at her silently for a long time, and smiled slightly: "Okay, it's even, so what are your plans next?"
"What else can we plan? We can only think of a way to get back to the original continent first. It's too dangerous for us to stay here."
Ji Yunshuang's expression gradually became serious.
"That's right." Lin You nodded gently, "But we are all injured now, and it will probably take some time for us to fully recover. Let's set off together after we are fully healed."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
that's all.
After some discussion on the spot and recovering from their injuries through healing spells and medicines, the two continued on their way, looking for a place to hide around the forest.
Until almost evening.
They finally found a cave in a hidden corner, which was just big enough for the two of them to hide.
He moved some branches to cover the entrance of the cave, then went inside to make a fire to heal his wounds and get some food to restore his strength.
"How's it going? Are you still holding up?"
Lin You asked, sitting next to the fire.
"Don't worry, I'm not that weak. But you are more seriously injured than me. Are you sure you want to set off tomorrow?"
Ji Yunshuang was carrying firewood and looked up at Lin You.
"Well, I don't know what the situation is like on the battlefield now."
"It should still be going on, right?" Ji Yunshuang stared at the flames, her eyes moving further and further away. "I don't know how far this place is from the battlefield. By the time we rush back, the war will probably have ended long ago."
"Perhaps."
Lin You nodded silently and didn't think about it anymore.
After all, they are now in the Yuansha Realm, and the most important thing they should consider is how to escape from here safely.
After all, there are enemies everywhere and they may be in danger at any time.
The only thing to be thankful for is that he has fragments of the divine nature, which gives him some self-defense ability.
As long as you don't encounter lords or cultivators above level seven, there should be no problem.
As for Ji Yunshuang, if she fights alone, she is at least a seventh-level warrior and can be of great help.
As long as you are careful, you may be able to return to the original continent smoothly.
"Okay, it's cooked. Let's eat first. We have to travel tomorrow."
At this time, Ji Yunshuang's voice sounded, interrupting Lin You's thoughts.
As soon as he raised his head, a wooden bowl filled with broth appeared in front of him, accompanied by the aroma of meat and several spices.
"I didn't realize you had this skill."
Lin You took the broth with surprise in his eyes.
He had always thought that Ji Yunshuang, as a princess, would be more delicate and would not be able to do such rough work, but the result was a little beyond his expectations.
"Nothing much. I learned it when I was wandering around with my parents."
Ji Yunshuang said casually and sat back in her seat.
Hearing her words, Lin You was even more surprised: "Wandering? The king wants to wander too?"
"Well, it happened when my father had not yet reached the tenth level. I was still very young at that time, and there happened to be a beast tide. My father's territory could not withstand the attack, so he was forced to move the territory. It was not until the establishment of the Great Wilderness Principality that it was settled down."
"So that's how it is." Lin You suddenly realized.
No wonder he always felt that Ji Yunshuang was not as spoiled as a princess. It turned out that it was because he had this kind of experience.
Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "What about your mother? Why have I never heard you mention her?"
"My mother died in that beast tide."
Ji Yunshuang paused for a moment, and her eyes gradually became lonely.
Although she was trying her best to hide it, Lin You could still feel that her body was very tense and even trembling slightly, even the arm holding the wooden bowl was shaking.
It seems that I asked questions that I shouldn't have asked.
"Feel sorry."
He said apologetically.
Suddenly, the whole cave became quiet.
There was only the crackling sound of the fire.
After a while, Ji Yunshuang shook her head slightly: "It's okay, it happened many years ago. Didn't you just ask me why I didn't leave you and run away alone? That's what my mother taught me."
"At that time, I was surrounded by a group of beasts. My mother rushed in and rescued me. She held on until my father came back and then she collapsed. So at that time, I swore that I must become stronger! I must never let this happen again!"
The determined voice continued to echo in the cave.
Lin You listened silently and couldn't help but be moved. He didn't expect that Ji Yunshuang had such a unknown side.
No wonder she, as a princess with abundant resources at her fingertips, still went to the battlefield alone and fought bravely.
This is much stronger than many lords.
Ji Yunshuang seemed to feel much more relaxed after expressing the thoughts that had been buried in her heart for many years.
She drank up the broth in the bowl in one gulp and snorted, "What? You don't believe me? Don't look at me as a woman. In the future, I will surpass my father and become the empress standing at the top of this continent!"
"Well"
Lin You opened his mouth and was really shocked by her lofty ambitions.
However, it was precisely because of Ji Yunshuang's slight change that he was infected and said with a smile: "Since you can become an empress, then I must become an emperor in the future, haha."
"Then let's work together."
"Well, let's work together."
The two looked at each other and found it a little funny.
Two people in distress, who didn't even know if they could return alive, were actually speaking such inappropriate and lofty ambitions in this inconspicuous little cave, and they were not afraid of being laughed at.
However, after experiencing this incident, the relationship between Lin You and Ji Yunshuang became much closer.
It can’t be said to be a love between men and women, but rather a feeling of mutual appreciation.
Maybe it’s because they all have the same goal.
that's all.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After eating and drinking, and chatting for a while about tomorrow's plans, the two went to rest in a corner of the cave.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Lin You and Ji Yunshuang woke up early.
After checking their belongings and their own injuries, they looked at each other and left the cave.
After a night of rest and treatment, although the injuries of the two were not completely healed, they no longer affected their movements.
This is all thanks to Lin You's power of rules.
Otherwise, I might have to hide for a longer time before I can set off.
"Let's go. I studied the direction of the sun yesterday. The original continent should be over there."
Ji Yunshuang pointed to the southeast and said, at the same time taking out a long sword from his personal space and putting it on his waist for self-defense.
"I don't know how far this place is from the battlefield. It would be best if we could capture a low-level cultivator and ask him."
Lin You observed his surroundings and waved his hand. A natural force enveloped the two of them, continuously supplying energy to their bodies.
Then, they set off directly on the road, heading in the direction indicated by Ji Yunshuang, and soon left the forest where they were.
And at this time.
On the front line battlefield.
Ji Xinghe, who had just retreated from the front line, finally received the news that Ji Yunshuang was missing.
"What did you say!? Yunshuang and Lin You are missing?"
Ji Xinghe looked at his subordinate who came back to report the news, his eyes widened with anger.
"Reporting to the king, this is what the other lords who were present at the time said. They said that they were accidentally caught in the space turbulence and their lives are unknown!"
"How could this happen! They are clearly on the outskirts of the battlefield, how could they be sucked into the space turbulence!?"
Ji Xinghe's aura suddenly burst out, suppressing the subordinate so much that he could hardly breathe.
"It was an eleventh-level lord from the original evil world who took action. He was fighting with the king of the Nebula Kingdom at the time."
"You beast! How dare a king attack a low-level lord?!"
Boom! Ji Xinghe suddenly slapped a huge rock in front of him and smashed it into pieces, causing the surrounding space to vibrate violently.
However, as a king, he quickly calmed down and said, "Go back and check if Yunshuang's territory is still there. Check it out as quickly as possible! Come back and report to me immediately after you check it out!"
"yes!"
The subordinate relaxed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and left immediately after receiving the order.
After just a few moves, he disappeared from Ji Xinghe's sight.
Ji Xinghe stood there alone, his eyes full of worry, but in the end it turned into a long sigh.
The other side.
After leaving the forest, Lin You and his companion soon arrived at a wide official road.
From time to time, you can run into a few practitioners passing by.
"Be careful. From the looks of it, there should be a territory nearby."
Lin You hid behind a bush and whispered to Ji Yunshuang beside him.
Behind them, there were several corpses with their eyes wide open.
Those were the bandits they had just met on the road. Seeing that they were dressed in rags, they wanted to rob them of their money.
Unexpectedly, they ran into the tough guy Lin You and were wiped out.
Lin You also learned information about the surrounding environment from one of the bandits, and finally understood their current situation.
The place where they are now is in a country called the Bamen Principality, which is separated from the Dongli Empire on the border battlefield by another empire.
That is to say.
If they want to get back to the original continent, they must cross the two empires!
"I didn't expect that we would be teleported to such a far place. This is a bit troublesome." Ji Yunshuang frowned slightly, with deep worry in his eyes.
It is no easy task to span two empires, and they are two empires from the original evil world.
If you are not careful, you might be discovered by the original evil world lord and be hunted down madly.
If you encounter a lord above level eight, you are basically dead!
Lin You naturally knew this, so he felt extremely heavy-hearted.
At this moment, a faint conversation suddenly came from the distance.
"I heard that a super long-distance teleportation array was built in the capital, connecting to the frontline battlefield. Many lords have gone over to provide support."
"Ah? There is such a thing? Is the attack from the primitive world so fierce this time?"
