Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage Chapter 297 - 296: I, Have Returned
In the mountain ravine, aside from the howling of the dicine n, there was no response.
Chu Qianli bit her lip, her longsword in hand, casting even colder Sword Qi.
But the Sword Qi, visible to the naked eye, was already weakening.
"Feng Yexuan!"
She called out loudly again.
Still, there was no response.
A sudden intense pain erupted in the region of her heart.
It felt as if she had been bitten by a dicine Man.
Breathing even began to grow difficult.
Had she been poisoned by the dicine n? Otherwise, why would she feel this way?
"Feng Yexuan..."
In the ravine, the girl’s lonely call echoed.
Still, there was no response!
He... was gone.
"Bastards, I’ll kill you all!"
Chu Qianli clenched her teeth, the acute pain in her heart seemingly turning into a fierce killing aura on her sword.
Her eyes reddened, she raised her hand.
The scarlet in the depths of her eyes, as if ignited by flas, a swing of her sword, and three dicine n imdiately fell.
Chu Qianli’s longsword was gathering more and more power.
The Sword Qi was unstoppable!
Her entire body heated up, to the point where she could barely see everything before her.
All she knew was that Feng Yexuan, had been bitten to death by these dicine n!
He really was dead!
She couldn’t tell if she was angry or in pain, perhaps, she couldn’t rember anything at all.
The longsword in her hand seed to be devouring her Inner Strength, concentrating all of it together.
That Sword Qi was beyond her control.
"Kill!"
Chu Qianli leaped up, her Sword Qi swept across, and instantly more dicine n were chopped down.
It seed she had lost control, no, the longsword in her hand had lost control.
It continued to devour her Inner Strength.
By the ti she realized this, Chu Qianli’s fingers trembled, and the third sword was about to swing out uncontrollably.
"Have you gone mad? If you exhaust your True Qi, you will die!"
Suddenly, soone grabbed her wrist, and the sword was forcibly pulled back.
Chu Qianli felt the longsword still trembling in her hand, clearly unable to hold on.
With a loosening of her fingers, the longsword was taken away.
A sword thrust out, and the dicine n behind her, pressured by the Sword Qi, were sent flying, unable to rise again.
"I’ve returned! Lili, snap out of it! Let’s go!"
Feng Yexuan embraced her waist and leaped up, swiftly retreating backward!
He had returned...
This voice, this breath, this familiar sense of presence...
He really had returned.
The scarlet in Chu Qianli’s eyes gradually returned to calm.
When she ca back to her senses, she found herself and Feng Yexuan navigating the cliffs.
He really was by her side!
"You’re not dead..."
"If we don’t leave now, we really will be, are you clear-headed now?"
Feng Yexuan pushed her.
Chu Qianli imdiately flipped in mid-air, landing steadily on the rocks above.
"Yexuan..."
"I’ll cover our retreat, how did you co down? Think of sothing, we need to get back to the top of the cliff!"
The main force was at the top of the cliff; as long as she got back there, she would be safe.
Feng Yexuan swung his sword, his strong Sword Qi instantly chopping down several foes.
But Chu Qianli could clearly see, each ti he used Sword Qi, a trail of blood would slip from the corner of his mouth.
The fighting had gone on too long, and his True Qi was also nearly exhausted.
The swarms of dicine n seed endless, impossible to completely cut down.
Staying put was a path to certain death!
How to get down...
Chu Qianli’s rationality finally made a complete coback.
She imdiately took out the hot air balloon from her bracelet and said in a deep voice, "Yexuan, hold on just a little longer, I’ll be ready soon."
"Okay!" Feng Yexuan saw hope.
As long as she said it was possible, there was hope!
The sword in his hand produced even stronger Sword Qi.
Even if it exhausted all his True Qi, he must block all dicine n from approaching her!
Chu Qianli dared not look at his face, that face no longer had the slightest trace of human color.
Bleeding too much, if he continued this way, he would die either from exhaustion or from too much blood loss.
Fortunately, the space was large enough. When the hot air balloon was folded, the hydrogen inside was still there, just not sufficient.
Chu Qianli injected hydrogen gas as quickly as she could, and soon the hot air balloon floated up into the air.
She pulled the ropes tightly while continuing to inject hydrogen gas.
By the ti she was almost unable to hold on for dear life, Chu Qianli shouted loudly, "Yexuan, get on!"
"Okay!" Feng Yexuan swung his sword, leaped up, and landed firmly on the wicker basket.
Chu Qianli also grabbed the rope and jumped up.
However, Feng Yexuan’s weight was sowhat beyond her expectations.
After both of them got on, the hot air balloon imdiately began to descend.
Although it wasn’t very fast, it was clearly descending.
"Why is this happening?" Feng Yexuan frowned, placing a palm underneath.
Using the rebounding force, the hot air balloon finally ascended a bit.
But, it was still descending.
"Not enough hydrogen gas, I’ll go buy another bottle and try!"
Chu Qianli had no ti to explain. As Feng Yexuan executed the second palm and the balloon ascended a bit more with great difficulty, another bottle of hydrogen gas was brought back.
After a slow descent of less than two ters, the hot air balloon finally floated mid-air.
Afterward, it slowly ascended.
Chu Qianli let out a huge sigh of relief and slumped down, only to realize she was sitting on Feng Yexuan’s lap.
It was terrifyingly close; they were almost dead.
"Watch out for arrows." She still didn’t dare to relax completely.
However, once the balloon flew up, even if soone below shot arrows, they couldn’t hit them anymore.
Feng Yexuan held his sword, constantly vigilant for any unseen arrows from below.
It was only when even he thought that it was impossible to be attacked from such a height that he relaxed his hold, allowing the sword to fall from mid-air.
His woman was still earnestly controlling this contraption, carefully raising it higher and higher.
He neither understood it nor knew the principle behind it.
The mont his sword fell just now, his vision had already started to blur.
Yet, his powerful willpower kept him awake and aware.
"Lili..."
"What?"
"Are we safe now?" he asked.
Chu Qianli didn’t know what he was thinking but answered truthfully, "Leng Ji and Fu Long are leading a large number of troops at the cliff top. As long as we join them, we will be out of danger."
"This thing..." Feng Yexuan’s voice had beco so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.
"Are you sure... it can take us up there?"
"Yes!" Definitely!
Only then did Feng Yexuan felt relieved and closed his eyes, "I believe in you... Rember, the man in black at the bottom of the cliff, his na is Qiu Qinghai, he is... the deceased Princess’s elder brother of King He."
"Okay, I’ll rember that." She didn’t know why he was telling her this now.
But since he asked her to rember, Chu Qianli would surely keep it firmly in mind.
This information was extrely important!
Afterward, Chu Qianli felt a weight on her shoulder, Feng Yexuan rested his head on her shoulder.
It was sowhat heavy.
And getting heavier.
Was he treating her as a chair?
But she was fully focused on controlling the hot air balloon and had no ti to play with him. Considering he had indeed co back alive, she just... let him be.
Being alive was what mattered most.
After an unknown period, Chu Qianli’s eyes brightened, and she exclaid urgently, "We’ve reached the top of the cliff!"
But the person behind her, didn’t he react at all?
