Chapter 1370: Never Missed Someone Like This Before

Yuan Ming stared at Jun Xiqing in disbelief.

She was actually...

The metal claw had pierced Jun Xiqing’s tender shoulders, making her break out in sweat from the pain. She reached up and slowly drew out the claw from her shoulder, inch by inch.

The claw was silver when it entered, and blood red when it was drawn out.

“Howl...”

The howls of a pack of wolves rang out from a near distance. Yuan Ming glanced up to see pairs of glowing green eyes dotting the darkness ahead. The wolves had come.

He gripped his reins tightly.

The daughter of the Jun Family was indeed full of ancient tricks and skills. She even knew the art of taming wolves.

Indeed.

No one knew that he loved Bei Yuewu 26 years ago. But she had heard some gossip in the garden and instantly surmised what was going on. From that deduction, she had lured him here with Face-Changing Magic. But she also cherished her life, and there was no way she would have allowed herself to die here.

She had just been stalling for time earlier. Now that night had fallen and her wolves were here, her opportunity to escape had come.

This Jun Xiqing was really something.

She was truly the daughter of the Jun Family.

With her nimble fingers, she had turned this life-and-death game of chess from a checkmate situation into a victorious win.

A rebirth from the place of death.

How glorious and radiant.

Jun Xiqing was so amazing and beautiful that there was no way Yuan Ming would believe Lu Yeming had no real feelings towards her.

In one’s lifetime, there would always be that someone you meet who would make her way deep into your heart, give it a bite and give rise to a pain that would follow you for the rest of your life.

It was then that Jun Xiqing rode her horse into the darkness, instantly disappearing into night.

At this point, his army finally caught up with him. “Chief, should we give chase?”

Yuan Ming waved him off. “No need.”

“Chief, let’s go back then.”

“Go back?” Yuan Ming laughed. “Lu Yeming’s army has probably already arrived. We will be falling into our enemy’s trap if we go back. What a pity. I have lost terribly in this game of chess to Lu Yeming and Jun Xiqing. Let us leave, we will head south.”

“But Chief, Auntie is still there.”

Ah, Dongfang Wanqing.

Fan Men steeled himself and said it, “President Jun’s final words were: Lu Yeming, that fool!”

After Fan Men revealed her words, he waited for His Highness to erupt in rage. No one had ever dared to scold His Highness in that manner.

“Ha.” Fan Men heard a low, magnetic chuckle. Lu Yeming had laughed.

His Highness actually laughed?

Fan Men was stunned.

Lu Yeming had really laughed. His handsome face was full of gaiety. He got up and went out, climbing quickly onto a horse.

“Your Highness, where are you going?” Fan Men chased after him.

“I am going to find her. She will not die.”

With that, Lu Yeming galloped off on horseback.

His Highness was going after Jun Xiqing just like that?

Leaving behind the entire Holy Lady Clan.

Fan Men stood dumbstruck at his original spot. He suddenly also laughed out loud. He had a feeling that after tonight, His Highness’s fondness for Jun Xiqing had increased once again.

As for how much it had increased, only His Highness himself would know.

...

Lu Yeming rode his horse in search of Jun Xiqing. He would definitely find her.

The cool night air whipped against his handsome face. He frowned slightly, the image of her delicate little face filling his mind.

He had never missed someone like this before.

All he wanted was to hold her in his arms and kiss her fiercely. He wanted to tear off her clothes and own every inch of her. He wanted to leave his own indelible mark on this woman, such that every last bit of her belonged to him and only him.

This was an unfamiliar feeling for him, and it surged in him, fierce and intense.

He could clearly imagine that graceful and nonchalant manner in which she said to fling the Chinese Rings on the ground. That secretly smug expression as she struck nine consecutive bulls-eyes. That swirling red dress as she galloped wildly...

Every image in his mind was of her.

Jun Xiqing.

He called out her name silently in his heart. Jun Xiqing.

...

Jun Xiqing long lashes quivered as she gradually opened her eyes.

Where was she?

She wanted to sit up but a piercing pain shot through her right shoulder the moment she moved.

A familiar voice rang out beside her ear, anxious and full of concern. “Xiqing, don’t move. Lay down, or your wound will start bleeding again.”
