Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 215

In the Wilderness Jungle.

Duanmu Xi stared at the darker sky and looked around, “Let’s rest here tonight.”

Everyone nodded and started to clean a place for them to rest tonight.

Phoenix Five took a look at the solid food in the bag and knitted her eyebrows. There were poisons in the jungle. They had been eating solid food since they ate the horse meat on the first day of the trip. Now, they had less and less solid food. Just in case, they couldn’t eat solid food now.

Long Yue looked at Phoenix Five who was holding the bag of solid food with a frown not far away. He hesitated and walked to Duanmu Xi, “Your Highness, I’ll go and find some food.”

Duanmu Xi looked at Phoenix Five who was frowning. She knitted her brows and nodded, “Be careful.”

It seemed that they didn’t have much solid food. No matter how dangerous the jungle was, they still had to look for food.

“I’ll do it,” Phoenix Thirteen said. Obviously, she also had noticed that.

Phoenix Thirteen directly held a sword and headed to the depths of the jungle.

Duanmu Xi stared at Phoenix Thirteen’s back, her dark purple eyes full of worry. She was about to ask someone to go with Phoenix Thirteen when Long Ri suddenly said, “I’ll go and help her.”

Duanmu Xi stared at Long Ri going away in a hurry and wondered whether something was going on between Long Ri and Thirteen…

Hearing the footsteps behind, Phoenix Thirteen turned around warily, “Is it you?”

Long Ri scratched his head nervously, “I… I’m here to help you…”

Phoenix Thirteen nodded and turned around to keep going forward.

Long Ri looked at Phoenix Thirteen’s back and felt torn. He wanted to thank her but he still bit his tongue.

Phoenix Thirteen walked for a distance and found Long Ri didn’t catch up with her. She knitted her brows and felt that men were trouble indeed.

She turned around and looked at Long Ri staying in situ. Then, she rolled her eyes inwardly, “Hey, aren’t you gonna help me?”

Hearing Phoenix Thirteen’s voice, Long Ri instantly came to his senses and hurriedly ran to Phoenix Thirteen, “I’m coming.”

Phoenix Thirteen saw Long Ri caught up and turned around again, “Follow me. This place was very dangerous.”

“Oh, OK.” Long Ri immediately nodded dully and followed Phoenix Thirteen obediently. The top dragon guard in the Qinglong Empire became like a cute and silly sheep now.

Phoenix Five, Long Yue and the others were cleaning up and gathering wood.

Duanmu Xi burned the green grass on the ground. Due to the attack by the Man-eating Flower Beast in the daytime, she felt that all the plants in the jungle seemed to be alive. Just in case, it was safer to burn the plants.

Yu Ying who was gathering wood suddenly heard a chirp and knitted his brows. He looked around and found that no one noticed him. Then, he put down the wood gently and moved aside stealthily.

“Where are you going?” No sooner had he taken two steps than he heard Phoenix Fourteen’s aloof voice.

Yu Ying immediately stopped and felt resigned. He took a deep breath and turned around.

As Yu Ying turned around, Phoenix Fourteen took another step forward and stared at Yu Ying, “Are you gonna send out a message again?”

Yu Ying’s eyes flashed. He subconsciously took a step back and cracked a rigid smile, “No, absolutely not.”

He rolled his eyes and said, “I… I just wanna pee.”

Phoenix Fourteen didn’t blush but arched her eyebrows, “Really?” Her voice was full of disbelief.

Gazing at Phoenix Fourteen’s bright and black eyes, Yu Ying swallowed nervously, “Yes, I mean it. I… I almost can’t help it.”

Yu Ying crossed his legs and acted as if being in a hurry to pee.

Seeing Yu Ying’s reaction, Phoenix Fourteen blushed and cleared her throat with embarrassment, “I’ll go with you.”

“No need,” Yu Ying refuted subconsciously at a higher pitch.

Phoenix Fourteen narrowed her big and bright eyes and arched her eyebrows suspiciously again.

Staring at Phoenix Fourteen’s doubtful eyes, Yu Ying knitted his brows remorsefully and explained, “I can do it myself. It hasn’t been dark yet. I won’t go far away. I’ll do it nearby. Don’t follow me. Don’t…”

Yu Ying ran away regardless of Phoenix Fourteen’s reaction.

Phoenix Fourteen stared at Yu Ying’s back and frowned. She still didn’t catch up.

Phoenix Thirteen and Long Ri looked around but still didn’t find any prey, including pheasants or hares that could be found in ordinary forests. However, on second thought, those fragile pheasants and hares couldn’t survive in the jungle full of poisons.

The two of them were still searching for food in the jungle. Suddenly, Long Ri’s eyes sparkled. He directly ran under a tree.

“Look. There are so many mushrooms,” Long Ri turned to say to Phoenix Thirteen with excitement while picking mushrooms quickly.

Phoenix Thirteen also walked over and saw the matsutakes on the ground. She loosened her brows. Finally, they had found something to eat.

“You stay here and pick the matsutakes. I’ll go and look for other food.”

Long Ri nodded in dejection.

Phoenix Thirteen didn’t notice Long Ri’s dejected look. She looked around and found nothing dangerous. Then, she said to Long Ri, “Listen. Wait for me here after picking matsutakes. Don’t walk around.”

Long Ri nodded obediently, “OK.”

After Phoenix Thirteen left, Long Ri started to pick mushrooms with concentration. Shortly, he picked quite some mushrooms.

Staring at the mushrooms, Long Ri was worried about how to take them back.

Having hesitated for a while, Long Ri directly took off his coat and put it on the ground. Then, he placed the mushrooms on the coat carefully.

Long Ri, who was busy picking mushrooms, suddenly felt that his vision blurred. He saw a sika deer run across in front of him.

Long Ri blinked dully. That seemed to be a deer.

Long Ri came to his senses and directly threw down his coat and mushrooms. He ran to the sika deer.

The sika deer seemed to sense danger. It ran faster and deliberately headed into the depths of the jungle.

Very quickly, the sika deer ran to a wetland. It was quite agile. It kept moving around on the wetland.

The sika deer acted fast. Long Ri didn’t act slowly. He followed the sika deer closely.

Suddenly, the sika deer leaped high and directly jumped across a wetland. Without thinking much, Long Ri directly chased it.

However, shortly, Long Ri felt something was wrong because half his body was in the mire.

Long Ri tried to exert his mysterious Qi to get himself out of the mire. Nevertheless, his lower body’s being stuck in the mire made him unable to exert any strength. Besides, when he struggled a bit, he could clearly feel that he was sinking.

Long Ri realized that he was in the marsh. So, he didn’t dare to move anymore. Instead, he could only try his best to stretch out his arms.

The sika deer saw Long Ri fall into the marsh. Then, it jumped back and forth on the wetland next to the marsh with excitement.

Long Ri looked at the gloating sika deer, his eyes sparkling. He secretly drew his sword and stabbed it at the sika deer on the wetland.

The sika deer sensed danger and instantly ran away, but it was too late. Shortly, its head was stabbed by Long Ri’s sword. It collapsed and died.

Seeing that the sika deer was dead, Long Ri curled his lips but very quickly, his smile stiffened. What he had done made him sink a bit.

Long Ri stretched out his arms and tried to move to the bank slowly. Yet, the mud was so thick that he could hardly move.

Long Ri tried a few times and finally gave up saving himself. He shouted, “Help…”

“Phoenix Thirteen, help…” Since he couldn’t save himself, he could only count on Phoenix Thirteen.

Phoenix Thirteen faintly heard someone calling her. With a frown, she dashed toward the place where Long Ri picked mushrooms.

Phoenix Thirteen searched around but couldn’t find anything but Long Ri’s coat and mushrooms. She was startled and directly threw several dead snakes to the ground. Then, she chased along the traces left by Long Ri.

“Help…” Long Ri was still shouting, except that his voice was drawling. He couldn’t help thinking, “Where is she? I didn’t run far away. Why can’t she hear me? Did she leave me behind and directly go back?”

While Long Ri was conjecturing, Phoenix Thirteen arrived. She glimpsed Long Ri who was stuck in the marsh and knitted her eyebrows, “Are you alright?”

Long Ri jerked up his head only to see Phoenix Thirteen on the wetland. He subconsciously curled his lips. At the moment, he felt that Phoenix Thirteen was like a beautiful fairy.

“Wait a minute. I’ll get you out right now,” Phoenix Thirteen said and looked around only to find nothing but the wetland and puddles of water. No tree, vine, or anything could be used to pull him up.

Phoenix Thirteen found that the marsh surface had reached Long Ri’s chest. She took off her coat with determination, twisted it into a rope and threw it into the marsh, “Catch this.”

Long Ri looked at the coat and took a glance at Phoenix Thirteen on the wetland. Then, he was dumbstruck. Now, Phoenix Thirteen was wearing a top only, exposing her arms and pretty collarbones to the air.

Long Ri immediately looked away, his face slightly flushing. How could she be dressed this way?

“Hurry! You wanna come up or not?” As Long Ri didn’t take the coat, Phoenix Thirteen became a bit grumpy.

“Oh.” Hearing Phoenix Thirteen’s disgruntled voice, Long Ri looked flustered and came around. He immediately caught Phoenix Thirteen’s coat.

The mud of the marsh was thick. Besides, Long Ri was deeply stuck in the marsh. It took Phoenix Thirteen quite some effort to pull him out.

Staring at Phoenix Thirteen wiping her sweat, Long Ri said with embarrassment, “Thank you.”

Phoenix Thirteen turned around and stared at Long Ri, “I told you to wait for me in situ. Why did you come here? That was so dangerous.”

If she hadn’t made it here in time, he would have been dead.

“I… I was chasing a deer…” Upon seeing that Phoenix Thirteen got angry, Long Ri felt so nervous.

Long Ri ran to the sika deer killed by him and then carried it in his arms, “Look. We’ve got food.”

Phoenix Thirteen was swayed to see the sika deer. It was a lot better than the snakes she caught.
