The night was thick.
In the forest, filled with green eyes, they all pounced towards Ye Qichi nacingly.
Xiao Jinxing carried Bai Mowan on his back, mounting his spirited horse.
The horse carried them frantically away from the wolf pack, fleeing desperately.
As they left, Xiao Jinxing looked back for a mont.
He saw Ye Qichi overwheld by the wolves in an instant.
So of the wolves were still chasing after them.
However, in that mont.
Xiao Jinxing’s pace as he rode away seed to be slowing down.
Perhaps in the next second, the wolves chasing them would leap from the ground, biting into their flesh, or perhaps, the wolves would simply snap the legs of the galloping horse.
"Brother Xiao," Bai Mowan could naturally sense Xiao Jinxing’s mont of hesitation.
She did not want to abandon Ye Qichi either.
If possible, she certainly hoped that all three of them could survive.
Ye Qichi had saved her life, and she was certainly willing to repay her.
But the current situation was.
If the three of them stayed, all three might die.
She had been reborn with much difficulty, and had just co back to life, she still had family vengeance to seek, Xiao Jinsen was not yet killed by her sword, she had not yet repaid Xiao Jinxing for his kindness to her, she did not want to die like this.
If there really had to be a sacrifice.
Then let it be Ye Qichi alone.
Ye Qichi was supposed to die anyway.
She didn’t understand why she was still alive.
Clearly, she should have died half a year ago.
Perhaps it was just because her rebirth also changed Ye Qichi’s life, but so fates can’t be escaped.
For Ye Qichi, she lived half a year longer...
Bai Mowan’s sowhat frightened voice made Xiao Jinxing, in that instant, seem to regain his composure.
Staying now.
Would an death for all three of them.
Family vengeance, beloved, he could not abandon them.
His eyes tightened.
He hurled the Treasure Sword he carried with him into the midst of the wolves.
That was all the help he could offer her.
Then, without any further hesitation, he galloped away with Bai Mowan.
A bloody night.
Ye Qichi just watched Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan leave.
Unhesitatingly leaving her behind.
They walked further and further away.
Soon disappearing from sight.
At the mont they left.
Countless wolves frenziedly lunged towards her.
Not to ntion she was alone now.
Even if Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan had stayed, they might also have been devoured by the wolves.
Ye Qichi exerted all her strength and, after being bitten by nurous wolves, finally broke free and used her Qinggong to leap onto a tree.
At this mont, her whole body was covered in blood, bloodied, and in her current state, there was no way for her to heal and recover.
She climbed the tree.
Countless wild wolves snarled and encircled it below.
Ye Qichi hugged the tree trunk, wondering if she could hold on like this for the whole night, perhaps the Imperial Palace guards were still searching for them, perhaps there was still a glimr of hope for survival.
But at that mont.
Nurous wolves began to ferociously ram the tree trunk.
Bang after bang.
They hamred relentlessly.
The tree trunk swayed precariously.
If this continued, the tree would surely be toppled by the aggressive wolves.
Ye Qichi strove to remain calm.
How long had these wolves been starving that they insisted on eating her?!
And with her current strength, it was impossible to use Qinggong to leap to another tree; she even felt so exhausted that she couldn’t move.
Once the tree trunk fell.
She might be devoured by the hungry wolves below, leaving not even her bones.
Ye Qichi thought of a lot.
In the end.
She did not want to die.
The reverence for life also made her not give up so easily.
She looked at the Treasure Sword left by Xiao Jinxing not far from her, now embedded in the ground.
Was this the greatest kindness Xiao Jinxing could show her?
Leaving it behind.
At least it gave her a weapon.
Without a bow and arrow on her body, shurikens alone couldn’t protect her.
If she had a sword.
Perhaps she could hold out a little longer.
Perhaps she could live a little longer.
She bit her lip tightly.
Just before the wolves finally knocked down the large tree, Ye Qichi leaped and landed by the Treasure Sword, then she picked it up.
The mont she seized the Treasure Sword.
Her arm was bitten by a wolf.
Ye Qichi, enduring the severe pain, still picked up the Treasure Sword and with one stroke, killed the wolf.
Then, countless wolves all attacked her.
So many.
She lost count.
She didn’t know how many she had killed.
Nor did she know how many tis she had been attacked by the wolves.
