If Miss Liu couldn't be found any longer, the capital city would surely be in an uproar!
As night fell, darkness instantly swept across the land. The scorching heat under the daytime sun gradually receded, as if in awe of the boundless night.
In the forest, it was extremely quiet. A gentle breeze blew through, making the leaves rustle, adding an air of eeriness.
Liu Rumei was lying pale at the edge of the mass grave. Her nose was filled with the nauseating smell, and mosquitoes and insects were constantly crawling on her body. There were many small and scattered wounds on her body, which had turned black, shocking to behold.
Liu Rumei was filled with panic. Ning Yan'er had given her medicine, and she felt weak all over. There were many corpses piled up in the mass grave. It had taken her a long time to crawl out, and she was already exhausted.
However, the faint sound of the wind in her ears made her feel inexplicably afraid, and she just wanted to escape as soon as possible.
In the darkness, a faint light suddenly shone, looking extremely creepy. Liu Rumei couldn't help swallowing hard. "Who's there!"
It seemed that this sudden shout had startled the thing. "Meow..."
As the sound faded, a variegated cat appeared in her sight.
Seeing the cat, Liu Rumei immediately let out a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, the cat's ears twitched, as if it had heard something, and it scurried away into the distance in a hurry.
Liu Rumei's bad premonition deepened. Enduring the exhaustion all over her body, she crawled forward with great difficulty.
Unexpectedly, just as she left the mass grave, a strong smell of blood suddenly hit her. She saw a huge creature appear in front of her out of nowhere.
This creature's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light. There was some blood on its brown fur, and there were still some pieces of meat left in its mouth.
Liu Rumei didn't need to think twice to know what the pieces of meat in its mouth were. Looking at the fierce jackal with a menacing glare.
Liu Rumei suddenly understood something. The medicinal powder that Ning Yan'er had sprinkled on her body must have been to attract these things!
She couldn't help clenching her teeth and backing away. Her palm suddenly touched something, and subconsciously she swung it at the jackal. "Get out of the way!"
The jackal was startled by Liu Rumei's sudden movement and took a few steps back, but its greedy eyes still remained on her.
Only then did Liu Rumei see clearly what was in her hand. It was actually a white bone, emitting a cold and eerie light under the moonlight.
If it were someone else, they would probably have been so scared that they would have thrown the thing away immediately. But Liu Rumei held it tightly in her hand, and her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at the jackal.
Just then, the jackal finally couldn't bear it any longer and pounced fiercely in Liu Rumei's direction, opening its huge mouth wide.
Liu Rumei panicked and subconsciously rolled to the side, but she was still a step too late. Her calf was scratched by the sharp wolf's claws, leaving a long gash. The flesh was turned up, looking extremely hideous.
The blood instantly stimulated the jackal's sense of smell, and it pounced on her again.
Liu Rumei subconsciously closed her eyes and waved the white bone in her hand.
At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly came through the air and mercilessly shot into the jackal's neck.
The jackal's body was carried by the sudden force and fell into the mass grave.
The expected pain didn't come. Liu Rumei subconsciously opened her eyes.
Before she could see who it was, she was tightly held in someone's arms. "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Ye Zhe, who was a step behind, saw this and the rock in his heart instantly fell. If anything happened to the princess, he would never be able to atone for his sins!
Liu Rumei's nose twitched, and the fear in her heart finally disappeared. She shrank tightly in the man's arms, and a sense of steadiness she had never felt before suddenly came over her.
The jackal sensed the dangerous aura emanating from these two people and immediately fled into the distance without hesitation.
However, how could Ye Zhe let it escape from his hands? He instantly drew out the long sword from his waist, turned on his feet, and the sword moves in his hand mercilessly chased after the direction where the jackal had left.
After a while, a howl sounded in the forest, and a strong smell of blood instantly swept over.
Liu Rumei finally couldn't withstand the sharp pain from her leg. Coupled with her own exhaustion, she finally fainted in Mo Liandi's arms.
Only then did Mo Liandi notice the wounds on her body. His face instantly darkened, and he quickly picked her up. Without waiting for Ye Zhe, he flashed towards the direction of the Prince Guo'an's Mansion.
In the Prince Guo'an's Mansion.
Uncle Zhang's eyes were full of anxiety. Mo Litian had already returned to the palace. He hoped that he could stop this matter by himself.
Mo Liandi had mobilized a lot of people in the capital city and almost turned the capital upside down. Mo Yun would surely not miss such an opportunity.
He couldn't protect her. Now he just hoped that he could help a little with his meager strength.
Xue Zhan was also waiting in the Prince Guo'an's Mansion. The brothers Yun Xi and Yun Li were even more anxious.
Several doctors beside them were respectfully waiting in place, feeling extremely uneasy.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew, and Mo Liandi's figure suddenly appeared in the mansion.
A cold chill surrounded his body. He coldly said to the several doctors beside him, "Come with this king."
Then he didn't stay any longer and flashed into the room with Liu Rumei in his arms.
The strong smell of blood in the air made everyone's faces change greatly.
Xue Zhan's nonchalant expression also disappeared. He got up and followed Mo Liandi into the room.
Looking at Liu Rumei surrounded by the doctors, Xue Zhan came to Mo Liandi's side and frowned. "What on earth happened?"
How could she be injured like this?
Mo Liandi's eyes were full of frost that couldn't be suppressed. The corner of his mouth also curled up in a cold arc, and his eyes were full of malice. "This king will never let that woman off lightly!"
How dare she treat Liu Liu like this!
Thinking of the scene when he had found her just now, Mo Liandi's heart was filled with panic. He didn't dare to imagine that if he had been a little later, would his Liu Liu have been devoured by the wolves?
Seeing the cold anger in Mo Liandi's eyes, Xue Zhan couldn't help swallowing hard. This Ning Yan'er was really looking for death.
His eyes turned, and seeing Ye Zhe walk in, he leaned forward again. "Where did you find Miss Liu?"
They had turned the capital upside down all afternoon but still hadn't found a single trace of her. That Ning Yan'er was also very tough and refused to reveal a single bit of information.
He was really curious about what Mo Liandi had done to her to find out Liu Rumei's whereabouts.
Ye Zhe's expression was as cold as ever, but Sixi, who was crying beside him, felt an infinite sense of oppression from him.
"The mass grave."
