Shi Yingying's bravery only competed against Du Changfeng's. Regarding the matter of him hugging the wrong person, she still felt rather embarrassed, her face was red and she had just retreated, but as she glanced at Du Changfeng who was completely dumbstruck, she immediately explained: "Don't misunderstand, I thought he was you, I didn't know there was someone else here. Du Changfeng, don't misunderstand, the situation is really too dangerous, look, so many wolves …"
She pointed with her finger and was surprised to find that the noisy wolves had stopped fighting over food. They were all raising their heads and quietly looking at them.
Du Changfeng quickly untied the dry branches on his body and added some firewood to the small fire that had not been extinguished yet. With Shi Yingying helping out at the side, that Heroic Assassin who had pulled out his sword just now relied on his own sword to fight against the restless wolves. The swords in his hands had displayed his unparalleled strength, and the Wolfhound s were all afraid, as they were all afraid, and no one actually dared to be the first to appear.
When the fire circle was ignited once again, the Wolfhound retreated a little and lingered around the circle of fire. But the inside of the fire circle was already safe, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief, Du Changfeng cupped his hands towards the young man: Thank you for your help, may I know your name?
"My surname is Lan, my name is Lan." The young man also clasped his hands together in return. "I wonder where you two came from and where you're going?"
Du Changfeng said, "I am Du Changfeng, I came from Jiangnan, to the Qingmu Stronghold, what about you, Brother Lan?"
"I was originally living in the four seas without a fixed home. I yearned for the desert's scenery, so I came to take a look."
"Brother Lan, are you from the martial arts world?"
"Something like that." Lan Jihua laughed, he then moved the sword sheath behind him, and turned to look at Shi Yingying, "I have not asked for young lady's name."
Shi Yingying was probably still immersed in the rage and shame of the wrong person, upon seeing him, she immediately became flustered, she raised her hands and covered her face, quickly saying, "I am Shi Yingying."
Du Changfeng was surprised. Along the way, she would introduce them as husband and wife whenever they met each other. Could it be … Look at how handsome Lan Jihua was, turning the passion that he couldn't ask for, onto him?
Thinking like this, he felt that he still had hope in his life, so he said to Lan Jihua, "Since Brother Lan is living in all four seas, why don't you accompany us? We can take care of each other as well."
Lan Jihua answered straightforwardly, "Brother Du's suggestion is very good. Although the scenery in the northwest is good, but there are still a lot of unexpected things, so it's safer to travel together."
Du Changfeng was very happy, he sat down with Lan Jihua and started to chat happily, Shi Yingying sat by the side of the small bonfire, holding onto the lamb, and stared silently into the distance.
Du Changfeng looked at her from time to time, feeling that she was unusual. This wasn't the Shi Yingying he was familiar with, could it be that he had changed his personality due to the wolves?
Shi Yingying did not speak a word, but had been treating herself instead. Although she and Du Changfeng had always been this way for women to chase after men from the start, and even though Du Changfeng had always been cold towards her, she could still see how concerned Du Changfeng was for her sometimes. For example, when he hugged her before she left, or when he rescued her from the heat, he probably cared about her in his heart. But just now, when Du Changfeng saw that she was hugging another man, not only did he not seem angry, he even passionately greeted Lan Jihua to go along with them. This time, he really did lose his pride.
She rubbed her eyes and wanted to cry, but she held back. It was not the time to cry, the wolves were still wandering not far away and the danger had not been averted.
Du Changfeng also looked at the pack of wolves not far away, "These firewood should be enough to last until daybreak.
When Shi Yingying heard him call her Miss Shi, the corner of her mouth twitched.
Lan Jihua said, "No, I will be the cover. Brother Du took Miss Shi away, and you two were together after all.
Du Changfeng thought, it would be great if they were to be separated.
Shi Yingying interrupted them, "How about I cover for you guys and let you guys leave?"
Du Changfeng heard the sarcasm in her words and did not dare to continue. However, Lan Jihua did not know and was slightly surprised: "Miss Shi knows martial arts?"
"Nope."
"Then why …"
"I can feed the wolves." Shi Yingying glanced at Du Changfeng, "I'm best at feeding ingrate."
"…" Du Changfeng laughed dryly, "Miss Shi loves to joke."
At last it was daybreak, and the east turned white, and a golden light pierced through the clouds, and the red sun leaped out, and the wolves began to stir. They were used to moving at night, and did not like the sun, and this light reminded them that it was time to return to the cave.
Some of them started to disperse, but some were watching from the sidelines, unwilling to part with the fat meat. The bonfire on the ground slowly extinguished, and only green smoke remained floating in the wind.
They had intelligent minds, and they could probably tell that she was the weakest of them all. Shi Yingying was no longer afraid. She picked up a smoke emitting tree branch from the ground and threw it over ruthlessly. The Wolfhound scattered but they quickly gathered back.
Lan Jihua pulled out his sword and blocked her behind him, "Miss Shi, get on the carriage. Brother Du, quickly drive away, I will catch up."
This was not the right time to be modest, Du Changfeng agreed, then grabbed Shi Yingying's wrist and quickly stuffed her into the horse carriage. She then jumped on his horse and quickly drove the horse carriage to the west.
The Wolfhound had an instinct to move quickly, and that was — to chase after, ignoring everything else!
Thus, the wolves chased after the carriage with all their might. Shi Yingying sat in the carriage, listening to the dense noise from the carriage, her heart rising to her throat as she secretly lifted the curtain to look outside. Coincidentally, a Wolfhound soared into the sky, opening its mouth wide to bite her. She screamed and fell to the ground, clutching her chest as she panted.
When he was in danger, a figure flashed by, with a wave of his sword, he slashed through all the Wolfhound s around the carriage and easily got in, helping Shi Yingying to stand up, "Are you alright?"
Shi Yingying shook her head, her heart was filled with unspeakable disappointment.
Previously, when Du Changfeng was not present, her being saved by Lan Jihua was alright, but this time, Du Changfeng was clearly in the car, and did not even make a sound when he called out. It was still Lan Jihua who came to save her, this was a little … Sad.
Just as he gasped for breath, Du Changfeng's voice came out, "Miss Shi, are you alright?"
Shi Yingying replied snappily, "Still alive." Are you disappointed...
It was good that they were fine. Du Changfeng drove the car and charged into the pack of wolves, charging left and right, putting in the effort with the two horses, and actually allowed them to escape the encirclement. The sun was rising higher and higher, and the wolf pack finally stopped their pursuit, standing there and watching them leave.
She leaned on the soft cushion, took out a cold steamed bun from her bag, and slowly ate it. She heard Lan Jihua asking her in front, "Brother Du, do you want to go see Miss Shi?"
Du Changfeng answered, "No need, even if she's a girl, she's not worse than a man. She'll be fine after resting for a while."
