His Majesty’s Hostage - Volume 2 Chapter 14

The bright sun was hanging directly above his head, and its scorching heat burned the bare earth. The rising heat waves distorted the seemingly stagnant air, giving people the refractive illusion that everything in front of them was flickering and swaying.

The wind that blew into his face carried an unbearable stream of heat, yet it also dissipated most of the burning sensation on his body.

After passing a bare hill, ZiLi suddenly stared ahead with fixed eyes and shouted, “There seems to be an oasis ahead! Go, Qu Zi, run faster! Go――” One person and one saddle horse had a focused expression as if they were sprinting at a horse race, as they rushed towards the trees a short distance away.

When ZiLi dived into the shade of the dense trees, his whole body seemed to be submerged in a cool pond of water. He felt so comfortable that he could not help but shiver.

“Good job, Qu Zi!” ZiLi said in appreciation, patting Qu Zi on the head.

Qu Zi snorted disdainfully.

“If there are trees, there must also be a water source.” As soon as he thought of the word ‘water’, all the cells in his body immediately started screaming.

“Qu Zi, my life depends on you. Horses have always been more sensitive than people.” ZiLi said, rubbing Qu Zi’s cheek flatteringly.

As soon as ZiLi saw the spring, his eyes lit up with eagerness and he immediately jumped off his horse and leaned over the spring and drank frantically. The cool, sweet spring water made every pore and every cell of him feel very fresh and comfortable.

It was not until he burped, and his stomach rumbled from being full that ZiLi turned over and lay on his back on the grass contentedly.

Seeing ZiLi’s satiated appearance, Qu Zi could not help but look at him disdainfully, after which it calmly walked over to the spring and lowered its head to take a sip.

After resting for a while and filling the water sack, ZiLi got up and patted the horse’s back, saying, “We have to go, we can’t stay here for too long!”

“All right. Boss, one mid-range room.” The waiter shouted at the innkeeper from the top of his lungs.

“Waiter, take good care of my horse, here’s a tip for you.” ZiLi was afraid that he would treat Qu Zi badly, so he instructed him specifically.

“Of course I will, dear guest, you can rest assured!” Accepting the tip, the waiter said even more attentively.

As he approached the inn, he found that although it was not large, the front of the inn was very neat. It was probably close to closing time, so there were few guests eating.

“Dear guest, would you like something to eat?”

“Yes, please, bring it to my room. Oh, and bring me a bucket of heated water.”

“All right, dear guest, just a moment please.”
