Chapter 277: I’ll Carry You

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“I originally intended to leave after you woke up, but since you’re awake now, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Perhaps due to its location underground, Jiang Peihuan found the secret chamber to be extremely chilly.

After the two put on their cloaks, they proceeded to exit.

However, after just a few steps, Xiao Nanye squatted down in front of Jiang

Peihuan. Seeing the man’s back in front of her, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes were filled with confusion, “What’s the matter?”

“Get on, 1’11 carry you.”

“The poison inside you hasn’t been neutralized yet, I…”

“I’ve suppressed the poison in my body with my inner energy; it won’t affect me for a short while.”

“If you’re not feeling well, I should carry you.”

As he said this, there was a hint of upset in Xiao Nanye’s eyes.

Jiang Peihuan did feel uncomfortable. Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, she didn’t decline and slowly climbed onto his back.

Leaning on Xiao Nanye’s back, Jiang Peihuan wrapped her arms around his neck.

In the past, when Jiang Peihuan looked at Xiao Nanye, she didn’t feel much. But now, lying on his back, she realized how broad he was.

When Xiao Nanye carried Jiang Peihuan, he noticed she was incredibly light, but her faint fragrance occasionally drifted into his breath.

Neither spoke, but the atmosphere between them was harmonious.

Xiao Nanye kept walking with Jiang Peihuan on his back. It felt like they had been walking for a long time, yet the road ahead still seemed endless.

Unable to hold back, Jiang Peihuan asked, “Xiao Nanye, are you sure we’re going in the right direction?”

Earlier, when they had turned a corner, three paths had appeared. Xiao Nanye chose the innermost one.

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s question, he whispered, “Don’t worry, we’re about to get out.”

“Who’s there?”

Before Xiao Nanye could answer, Jiang Peihuan’s whip flew out. Someone caught it, and shortly after, a figure emerged.

“King and Queen Cheng?”

Zhao Yong looked wary, but his guard dropped upon recognizing Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan.

“Prince.”

Seeing Zhao Yong, Jiang Peihuan sighed with relief.

Marks of combat were evident on Zhao Yong. Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan asked,

“Prince, did you encounter anyone in the tunnel?”

“Yes, I met Princess Xue Ji men.”

“By the way, did you get hurt, Queen Cheng?”

Jiang Peihuan’s face slightly changed at the question.

Before she could answer, Xiao Nanye spoke, “Huan Er is just tired. 1 thought she should rest for a while.”

“I see.”

“Has the poison inside Your Highness been neutralized?”

“Not yet, but it’s been suppressed.”

The three continued walking. About four hours later, they emerged, only to be faced with a river. Looking at the river, none of them seemed pleased.

“Xiao Nanye, put me down.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Xiao Nanye carefully set her down.

Jiang Peihuan took a few steps forward. The river water was crystal clear, but its depth was unknown.

She bent slightly, about to touch the water, when Xiao Nanye quickly pulled her away.

An arrow landed right where Jiang Peihuan had just been standing, its fletching still quivering.

Turning around, Jiang Peihuan saw Princess Xue Ji holding a bow.

“It’s you. I thought it was Yao Ji.”

“It doesn’t matter. Killing you will still be advantageous.”

While she was speaking, Xue Ji had already drawn her bow and arrow.

Just as Jiang Peihuan was preparing to take action, a scream from Xue Ji echoed.

It turned out that Xiao Nanye had swiftly approached Xue Ji, severing the tendons in her hand with his longsword.

Xue Ji shrieked, her bow and arrow falling to the ground.

In Xiao Nanye’s eyes, there was pure rage. All the soldiers around Xue Ji had fallen to the ground.

Returning to Jiang Peihuan’s side, Xiao Nanye coldly stared at Xue Ji, “Dare to touch my wife, you’re seeking death.”

Darkness filled Xue Ji’s eyes. Even in this state, she showed no fear and shouted into the void, “Aren’t you coming out yet?”

After her shout, Jiang Peihuan felt a group of cavalry approaching.

Leading them was Lin Ruhai.

“King Cheng, I’d advise you to stay still, or I’ll kill this Western Region Queen.” As Xiao Nanye took a step forward, Lin Ruhai’s sword aimed at Yao Ji’s neck. Seeing Yao Ji tied up, excitement filled Xue Ji’s eyes. She felt no pain from her wrist and picked up a longsword, walking towards Yao Ji.

But as she attempted to stab Yao Ji, she was stopped by Lin Ruhai.

“What are you doing?”

Looking at Lin Ruhai blocking her, anger filled Xue Ji’s eyes.

However, Lin Ruhai was staring at Jiang Peihuan, “Queen Cheng, I want you to come and exchange yourself for the Western Region Queen. Otherwise, 1’11 kill her now.”

“Just a Western Region Queen. If you want to kill her, go ahead. Is the Western Region’s queen even comparable to my queen?”

Before Jiang Peihuan could speak, Xiao Nanye interjected.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The most frustrated was Yao Ji, her gaze burning with anger directed at Xiao Nanye.

Though she had never expected Jiang Peihuan to sacrifice herself for her rescue, hearing Xiao Nanye’s words made her quite upset.

Lin Ruhai, after hearing the words, spoke up, “In that case, I’ll kill this…uh…” Before Lin Ruhai could finish, he felt pain in his wrist.

It was Si Nian’s sword, aiming directly at Lin Ruhai’s arm.

Lin Ruhai immediately countered.

At this moment, Yao Ji was rescued by Rong Mo.

Having sent Yao Ji to Jiang Peihuan’s side, Rong Mo went to assist Si Nian.

Even though both were masters, Lin Ruhai had brought many men. Thus, Rong Mo and Si Nian couldn’t capture him and could only watch him leave.

“Take me with you!”

Seeing Lin Ruhai leave, Xue Ji quickly followed.

However, Xue Ji was kicked away by Lin Ruhai.

Soon after, Xue Ji was caught by Si Nian.

Even when captured, arrogance filled Xue Ji’s eyes. Looking at Yao Ji in front of her, she disdainfully said, “Don’t forget what you promised mother; you can never kill me.”

Hearing this, a hint of sorrow flashed in Yao Ji’s eyes. But when she looked at Xue Ji, her eyes were cold, “Indeed, 1 promised not to kill you, but 1 can imprison you for a lifetime..”
