The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 139 - 81 Travel to Chongqing (3) Perilous Escape_4
Chapter 139: Chapter 81 Travel to Chongqing (3) Perilous Escape_4
"Then shut up!" Ye Qichi yelled.
Always cracking wise!
If she didn’t have to drag him along with all her might, if it were just her alone, by now she would have crossed over to the other side of the river!
Instead of being stuck in the middle of the water.
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips and, in that moment, actually held back.
He held back and stopped arguing with Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi took a deep breath, grabbed Xiao Jinxing, and headed for the opposite bank of the river.
Every time she wanted to rest for a while, whenever she made such a move, Xiao Jinxing’s sardonic voice echoed in her ear, "Just hang in there for two hours, and we’ll be there."
She clenched her teeth and persevered.
The next time she wanted to rest for a while.
"Hang in there for just an hour, and we’ll be there."
And so the cycle repeated!
Over and over again!
Finally.
Ye Qichi, supporting Xiao Jinxing, reached the shore.
After climbing onto the riverbank, Ye Qichi lay down heavily on the ground, gasping for air, not wanting to move a muscle.
Xiao Jinxing lay down on the riverbank as well.
Even though Ye Qichi had done all the work, soaking in the river water for most of the night had left him completely drained because of the buoyancy.
He lay on the ground, looking at the sky which was gradually brightening overhead.
It took almost the entire night for them to finally reach the shore.
At that moment.
He couldn’t help but turn his head to glance at Ye Qichi.
Watching her lying there, still gasping for breath after a long time, her chest heaving violently, she looked as if she was about to faint from exhaustion.
In fact, in the water, he thought several times that Ye Qichi was at her limit.
But each time, she persevered.
And even.
She didn’t abandon him.
If not for him, Ye Qichi could have easily reached the shore on her own.
He turned his head back, setting his gaze upon the sky again.
He just kept on watching the sky.
Even though he was physically drained, he didn’t close his eyes to rest for a moment.
He was afraid he might fall asleep by accident.
And now was not the time for them to truly rest.
The people hunting them might not know how to swim, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t find other means to cross the river, like acquiring a boat or building a simple bamboo raft.
Once they spotted them, any chance of escape would be utterly impossible.
He let Ye Qichi rest for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, and then commanded in a cold voice, "Get up!"
Ye Qichi had just fallen asleep. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Actually, she hadn’t intended to fall asleep at all.
She knew it was most unsafe to lie there at this moment; if the assassins caught up, they would be dead for sure.
But due to sheer exhaustion, she just couldn’t pick herself up.
Thinking of resting for a while until she regained some strength before leaving.
She naturally had strong recuperative abilities; it seemed like a short doze had restored half her energy.
Hearing Xiao Jinxing’s voice, although she was relieved that he hadn’t fallen asleep with her, being woken up so coldly still annoyed her.
"Can’t you be a little nicer to your lifesaver?!" Ye Qichi complained as she struggled to get up from the ground.
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips and, unusually, did not argue with Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi got up.
She frowned, "Aren’t you getting up?"
"My legs... I can’t move them," said Xiao Jinxing.
He had just tried.
Seems like they suddenly just stopped working.
Ye Qichi clearly looked nervous as she quickly squatted down to examine him, her hands feeling his legs, "No sensation?"
"There is, but no strength," Xiao Jinxing replied, "Maybe because I’ve been in the water too long, they’re frozen stiff."
"That’s possible," Ye Qichi pondered.
But she couldn’t scare herself.
She said, "Let me help you up first; see if you can walk with my support."
"Okay."
Ye Qichi squatted down and struggled to help Xiao Jinxing stand.
Just as he stood up.
Xiao Jinxing lost his balance and fell over.
Ye Qichi responded quickly, catching him, but couldn’t hold on.
As a result, both of them fell to the ground, with Xiao Jinxing on top of Ye Qichi.
"Ouch!" Ye Qichi couldn’t help but cry out.
This guy was as heavy as iron.
Xiao Jinxing, on the other hand, didn’t feel any pain.
Not only did he not feel pain, but he also found Ye Qichi’s body to be somewhat soft.
At that moment, Ye Qichi was writhing beneath him.
Probably because of the pain, she unconsciously moved her body to alleviate it.
Xiao Jinxing suddenly pursed his lips tightly.
In the moment Ye Qichi writhed to ease the pain, she suddenly stiffened.
Disbelieving, she paused.
Then touched again in disbelief.
"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly roared in anger.
Ye Qichi was nearly frightened out of her wits.
"Xiao Jinxing, if you scare me to death, will you still be able to save your own life?!" Ye Qichi was equally furious.
"Where did you touch?!" Xiao Jinxing ground his teeth.
"I!"
"I what I! Why aren’t you ascending to heaven?!" Ye Qichi’s fury soared.
Xiao Jinxing’s face turned green.
That damn Xiao Jinxing!
At a time like this, he actually kissed her.
Did he have a death wish?!
"Stop talking!"
Fortunately, Xiao Jinxing just blocked her mouth with his own and didn’t do anything; he also let go of her rather quickly.
It seemed he was just trying to keep her from speaking!
Ye Qichi unconsciously licked her lips.
Such an unguarded small gesture...
Xiao Jinxing immediately turned his face to one side and then coldly commanded, "Carry me!"
At that moment, Ye Qichi truly wanted to slap Xiao Jinxing to death.
He was such a big man, how could she carry him?!
"If I die, your whole family will have to be buried with me!" Xiao Jinxing threatened again.
It was clear he realized that nothing he said would work on Ye Qichi, only bringing up the Minister Mansion seemed to make her obey him.
Ye Qichi took a deep breath.
She reminded herself not to reason with a madman.
After all, one day they would part ways.
The things she was doing for him now were all because of that ten thousand taels of gold.
After all, one should not make an enemy of money!
