I gazed at the surrounding mountains, completely at a loss. Liu Yu’s leg needed urgent treatment. Unfortunately, after six years in a dark dungeon, I was physically weak, and with his leg injured, how could we possibly climb out of these completely uninhabited mountains?
“Someone will come,” Liu Yu wrapped his arms around my shoulders, confidently saying, his gaze scanning the surroundings.
Seeing Liu Yu so composed, I was stunned. A thought jumped into my mind: perhaps his injury was part of a calculated plan.
at Liu Yu in surprise. His eyes, black as gemstones, were looking at me with a hint of a smile, like a spring or a cat’s eyes. His soft black hair fell on my shoulder. His face, pale from leg pain, showed a childlike innocence.
Soon, the forest on the mountain began to move, and several men in black robes flew out from the trees, landing before us. Seeing Liu Yu on my back, they all knelt down with swords in hand: “Greetings to the Chen King! We are unworthy, arriving a step too late!”
This further confirmed my suspicion: Liu Yu was not just a fallen prince without a mother, but a bold, far-sighted young political strategist…
“Rise,” Liu Yu waved to the man in front, who immediately understood and lifted Liu Yu from my shoulder. Liu Yu pointed at me, “Take her along as well.”
“Woo…” A few weak tiger cries sounded behind the tiger, and immediately a trace of tenderness appeared in its eyes, releasing the claws that were pressed against my back. It turned out there was a tiger’s den here, no wonder the tiger was so afraid of people nearby…
Those little tigers slowly stepped forward with their still-unsteady limbs. I smiled kindly at them and turned over, moving unnaturally. The mother tiger seemed to think I was going to escape or harm her cubs, suddenly pinning me to the ground. Her claws suddenly stretched out, and I looked in panic as her claws quickly fell, viciously swiping across my face…
A sharp pain spread through my entire body, my right face immediately burning hot. My consciousness slowly blurred, and the fierce mother tiger gradually turned into a white mist before my eyes, then everything fell into darkness…
