Chapter 2295 - 2296: An Unavoidable Encounter
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan’s face was as pale as paper, devoid of any hint of blood, and even the brilliance in his eyes had dimmed, making him look like a dying man. This immediately filled Qiu Ruoxi’s heart with unprecedented panic, to the point where her own face turned deathly pale as well.
Although Qiu Ruoxi had not been too fond of Ye Xunhuan initially, after spending time with him, she had deeply fallen in love. To her, Ye Xunhuan was everything; as long as he was around, no matter what happened, she felt secure.
But now Ye Xunhuan had become like this, causing Qiu Ruoxi’s heart to race with worry and anxiety beyond words!
"Xunhuan, Xunhuan, don’t scare me, don’t scare me..."
Speaking, Qiu Ruoxi’s beautiful eyes slowly welled up with a mist of tears, ready to overflow.
Ye Xunhuan had become this way entirely because of her. If not for her, he wouldn’t have needed to shield her with his body!
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was filled with guilt. If it weren’t for her, how could he be like this?
"Xunhuan, Xunhuan..." Qiu Ruoxi kept calling him, tears slowly sliding down her cheeks.
But Ye Xunhuan seemed to have lost all sensation, motionless, yet there was still a trace of life in his eyes, which made Qiu Ruoxi understand that he was not dead. She had to wake him up now, or it would be too late once he closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Abe Matsuyasu had already received news from his subordinates, saying that Ye Xunhuan had fallen and they were currently searching for his exact location.
In response, Abe Matsuyasu was not at all impatient but ordered a thorough, carpet-like search to find Ye Xunhuan.
As for whether Ye Xunhuan would escape, Abe Matsuyasu was not concerned. After jumping from such a height, carrying Qiu Ruoxi, even if Ye Xunhuan survived, he would have been seriously injured. Escaping without a trace would be impossible.
Thus, Abe Matsuyasu showed no worry about Ye Xunhuan’s escape, remaining as calm as a think tank firmly seated in the military tent!
At this moment, whether Ye Xunhuan was responding to Qiu Ruoxi’s cries or slowly regaining his senses, he strained a feeble smile: "Silly girl, why are you crying..."
Before Ye Xunhuan could finish speaking, a mouthful of bright red blood surged from his lips.
Falling from such a height, Ye Xunhuan willingly shielded Qiu Ruoxi with his body, expending all his inner strength for cushioning, but the violent impact and the shock seemed to displace his internal organs. It felt as though someone had hammered his chest with an iron mallet, and the pain was excruciating!
Seeing this, panic overwhelmed Qiu Ruoxi: "Xunhuan, what’s wrong, don’t scare me, don’t scare me..."
Tears rolled like broken strings of pearls, continuously falling from Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes.
Speaking, Qiu Ruoxi urgently tried to cover Ye Xunhuan’s mouth, hoping to stop the blood from flowing.
But all her actions were in vain; she couldn’t stop it. Even her own fair right hand was instantly stained red with blood.
Panic!
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was filled with unprecedented panic.
Why?
Why did so many people want Ye Xunhuan dead? Why couldn’t they just live peacefully, without threat?
Was it because Ye Xunhuan held the Taiji Seal, or because he was Qin Fenghuang’s son, that they wanted to kill him?
But did he have a choice?
He did not!
Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was filled with resentment and anger. If possible, she was willing to kill all of Ye Xunhuan’s enemies so he could lead a glorious life!
The next moment, Qiu Ruoxi hurriedly helped Ye Xunhuan up: "Xunhuan, hold on, you must hold on, I’ll take you to the hospital, I’ll take you to the hospital..."
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi in tears, Ye Xunhuan wanted to say something, but his throat felt blocked, rendering him speechless.
He wanted to reach out and wipe away the tears on Qiu Ruoxi’s face, but his bones felt as if they had scattered, deprived of any strength.
Ye Xunhuan understood he was gravely injured, more severely than when he endured the King’s Strike!
Immediately, Qiu Ruoxi slowly lifted Ye Xunhuan from the ground and, holding back her sobs, gritted her teeth and carried him into the nearby woods.
Qiu Ruoxi knew that the other side was well-planned; regardless of whether Ye Xunhuan was dead or alive, they would definitely find him at all costs!
So if she followed the path just now, she would surely expose herself. Thus, she chose the woods!
In the woods, Qiu Ruoxi’s delicate body struggled to carry Ye Xunhuan’s over a hundred-pound frame, her tears and sweat blurring her delicate face, once so pristine and beautiful, now looking disheveled and pathetic. Yet, Qiu Ruoxi paid no attention to this, radiating defiance and determination all over. Guided by a single belief, she resolutely pressed on, determined to carry Ye Xunhuan out of there, even if it meant her own death. She couldn’t let Ye Xunhuan die!
For Ye Xunhuan was her life!
If Ye Xunhuan died, her life would be over as well.
At this moment, no matter how beautiful, no matter how transcendentally refined the most beautiful woman in the world might be, she could not compare to even a fraction of Qiu Ruoxi’s current state!
Qiu Ruoxi, carrying Ye Xunhuan like a snail, slowly struggled forward, while Abe Matsuyasu’s men came charging like rabbits, madly, sweeping in a carpet-like search from four directions: southeast, northwest.
No matter how Qiu Ruoxi carried Ye Xunhuan, no matter how she tried to hide, they would inevitably encounter each other!
It seemed predestined, unavoidable.
Should they encounter, given Ye Xunhuan’s current state, survival was slim, and the same fate awaited Qiu Ruoxi.
For if you do not eradicate the root, it will grow again with the spring breeze. How could Abe Matsuyasu possibly let Qiu Ruoxi live?
