Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 184 Hug Up

After Zhao Yunrong jumped onto the ground, he first carefully hid in the grass and listened to the movements around him with his keen ears for a while.

He heard the wind rustling the grass and a faint, angry grumble from below the burrow, but no other sounds of footsteps or breathing.

After confirming that it was safe, he straightened up and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

Although the tiny black dot-like figure in the distance was almost invisible, he was able to discover clues thanks to his keen observation and insight.

He used the dense jungle to conceal his figure, deliberately adjusted his breath to an inaudible level, and quietly came behind the man.

He approached his target silently like a cheetah that had been lurking for a long time.

Just as the assassin realized there was some movement in the bushes behind him, he suddenly felt a strong hand on his neck. He wanted to shout in horror, but he couldn't make a sound. His neck was twisted into an unnatural angle. The assassin's sturdy body fell to the ground, crushing a patch of grass, and he died in an instant.

Zhao Yunrong moved as fast as lightning and completed the task in one go. He then untied the sword from the assassin's body, and used his lightness skills to quickly search the area within a few miles around him. When he was sure that there were no more assassins, he rushed to the stream, found a broad leaf about two feet in diameter, filled it with some water, and returned to the cave.

Xiao Guoer was waiting for the Eighth Prince to come back in the cave. As time passed, she couldn't help but think wildly, imagining all kinds of possible situations.

Could it be that the Eighth Prince encountered an assassin?

Or maybe he felt like a burden and just threw himself into this hole?

She felt increasingly uneasy and began to doubt whether the Eighth Prince would really come back.

If he abandoned her, it would be impossible for her to climb up by herself using the "rock climbing" method!

My Lord, please don't let anything happen to you! And don't abandon me!

Just as Xiao Guoer was staring blankly at the entrance of the cave, feeling extremely anxious, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance.

If not the Eighth Prince, then who else could it be?

Xiao Guo'er had never been so eager to see the solemn face of the Eighth Prince as she was at this moment, and she had never been so happy to see the Eighth Prince as she was at this moment.

Zhao Yunrong lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Guo'er who was "sitting in a well and looking at the sky" in the cave. Although the distance was quite far, he could still see the change in her facial expression at a glance. Her frown relaxed in an instant, and her eyes burst into joy after seeing him. The corners of her mouth also curved up, revealing a row of small white teeth.

Obviously, Zhao Yunrong was very satisfied with Xiao Guoer's changing expression, and the corners of his mouth even curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly, along with her.

He couldn't help but think of the past when she followed Tang Jingchen and whenever she saw him she would always hunch her shoulders and lower her head to avoid him, for fear of looking him in the eye.

But now, she could face him so calmly and even give him such a bright smile.

Maybe one day in the future, when she sees him, she will be as overjoyed and filled with love as when she saw Tang Jingchen?

Thinking of that scene, Zhao Yunrong's heart couldn't help but move slightly.

After retracting his wandering thoughts, Zhao Yunrong jumped down, his figure as light as a swallow, and his toes lightly tapped on the hilt of the sword that was inserted in the middle of the hole, and then he landed lightly in the hole again.

As he moved, his clothes fluttered and his posture was extraordinary, but not a drop of the water in the broad leaf in his hand was spilled.

After the Eighth Prince landed, Xiao Guoer naturally reached out to take the water in his hand.

Her throat was so dry that it was about to smoke, and she couldn't wait to see the water.

But she had just taken a sip of water when she heard a teasing voice, "Is the liar's water delicious?"

Xiao Guo'er's mouth was full of water, and his cheeks were puffed up like a pufferfish. He froze when he heard that, and after slowly swallowing the water in his mouth, he raised his little face from the leaves.

Zhao Yunrong looked at her lips where there were still water stains after drinking water, and her lips became more tender because of the nourishment of the clean water. Her raven-black eyelashes blinked twice because of guilt. His heart couldn't help but feel a little itchy, as if the eyelashes were blinking on his heart.

Xiao Guoer complained in her heart, I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy’s ears, I was clearly speaking very quietly, how could he still hear it?

Xiao Guoer raised her signature smile and pretended to be stupid, "What is your Highness saying? How come I don't understand? Your Highness condescended to personally get me water, so of course it must be delicious. I have never tasted such delicious water!"

Zhao Yunrong watched her pretending to be stupid and trying to please her, but he didn't expose her. When she drank all the water, he said calmly, "Can you crawl through the hole you dug? If you can, don't waste time."

Xiao Guo'er was very annoyed at his behavior of asking questions even though she knew the answer. Her gratitude for bringing her water just now had mostly disappeared, but now was the time for her to ask a favor, and she couldn't show a bad face, so she had to force a reluctant smile.

"Your Highness, you are joking. I don't have the ability to dig so many holes in such a short time. Even if I did, I wouldn't dare to climb up. It's so high, if I slip, I will fall to my death."

Xiao Guoer saw that the Eighth Prince seemed to have not heard her and was indifferent. Instead, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Then how are you going to get up? Do you want me to carry you up?"

Why is he always like this? How can she get up without him? Xiao Guoer was holding back her anger, but she had to bow her head under the eaves, so she endured it and said, "How dare I let the prince hold me? I can only ask the prince to condescend to hold my arm. I will be grateful!"

Zhao Yunrong looked at her with that stiff smile again, and stopped beating around the bush with her. He said directly, "That counts as me saving you again. Counting the time you fell off the cliff and the time you fell into the cave, I have saved you three times. How do you plan to repay me for saving your life?"

Xiao Guoer thought to herself: Tsk, I saved you once by the Qingshui River! And the day before yesterday, if I hadn't been busy cooling you down, you might have died of a high fever! Now it's just a small favor from you, but you're claiming to be saving my life? You're really fussy!

"I will do my best to serve you in the future and repay you for saving my life!"

"Just remember this in your heart. You must not find any excuses to refuse my orders in the future."

"How could that be? Your Highness is worrying too much. I am eager to help you share your worries! Hehe..."

As soon as Xiao Guoer finished speaking, she felt a flash before her eyes, and saw the man's figure approaching instantly. The next second, she felt a strong and powerful hug on her shoulders, followed by a steady support from her knees.

Before she could scream, she felt a powerful force lifting her up, and her body flew upwards involuntarily.
