Xia Liang, looked toward Bai Yao who grabbed her shoulder, with a sort of baffling revealed in her clear eyes.
“Be careful.” Bai Yao relaxed his hold, and stared at her earnestly.
“Things are gonna be fine so long as you’re here.” Xia Liang nodded with extreme calm, and then leap out of the cave before the sound of her voice had died away.
Standing behind her, Bai Yao smiled unconsciously with corners of his mouth curled up, at that moment, his whole being was absorbed in tenderness, and even his cold and gorgeous face seemed to become gentle as water.
The feeling of being trusted and relied upon put Bai Yao in good mood. It felt like drinking a large jar of honey.
Bai Yao stroked his chest subconsciously. He had never had such kind of strong feeling before. He wanted to feel and taste more.
The three spies, hidden in the woods, all brightened their eyes the moment they saw Xia Liang. They made a gesture to each other, a signal for capturing her alive, so they could know the whereabouts of each other.
Since the cave where Xia Liang was hiding was covered with trees, she was safe under the night. It was not until Xia Liang presented herself that these people found her.
Bai Yao stared at her intently, with all nerves tensed up. The veins on the back of his right hand stood out because he clutched the pike firmly, even he was not aware of that himself.
He only felt that every minute and second was extremely suffering. How he wished he could rush out now!
But it would be an injudicious moment now.
The positions of those few people were too scattered, making it difficult to catch them all, so they could easily escape.
If this was the case, Xia Liang’s plan to lure the enemy in deep would fall through.
When the three of them were about to encircle Xia Liang, Bai Yao, like a started-off arrow from a full string, rushed the front of the three men in a split second.
Wielding a pike in his hand, he took one to death with one pick and one injured, in a splitting speed.
Xia Liang showed kind of admiration and appreciation in her eyes looking at Bai Yao’s light and flexible actions. “Bai Yao was certainly a man of courage”, Xia Liang thought to herself.
Seeing there was no space for her to flex her muscles, Xia Liang retreated, not posing Bai Yao any distraction or making him worry.
However, at this point!
“Swoosh!”
Accompanied by a sharp sound piercing the sky, a cold light came from a distance, mercilessly lunging at the vulnerable part of Bai Yao’s heart.
The enemies were more than three, there were people in the distance!
Yet, Bai Yao was tangled by another enemy. Even if he had seen the arrow toward him out of the corner of his eyes, there was no time for him to dodge.
At this time, Xia Liang was retreating, about one meter away from Bai Yao.
When she saw the arrow striking toward, she knocked it away instinctively using the pike in her hand, and the crisis was about to be averted…
Unfortunately, another wounded enemy suddenly leaped from the ground with a sabre in his hand and rushed to Bai Yao’s back with a fierce look.
This life and death moment left no time for Xia Liang to have more thinking, she could only mobilize the internal force, accelerate, and jump forward to protect Bai Yao’s body!
Hitting by Xia Liang, Bai Yao took a step forward and understood her intention instantly, but he did not have any joy. He just felt like falling into ice grotto with the whole heart infected with despair and madness!
“Xia Liang. Stay away!” Bai Yao roared in fierce.
His eyes were red, his movements quickened, his pike swung out, and he stabbed his enemy to death instantly.
After defeating the enemy, Bai Yao reached out to grab Xia Liang, but it was too late.
“Ow!”
The sharp pain of knife inserting and then pulling out from her body hit Xia Liang bitterly, making her let out a weak hum.
“Xia Liang!”
Bai Yao roared in pain, his red eyes revealed mournful murderous intent. He held Xia Liang in his arms, and his other hand hurled a long gun fiercely, hitting the knife-wielding man in the throat with accuracy.
The man collapsed with his eyes glazed over, very dead.
Just then, a growing clamor coming from outside,
“General! General!”
Listening to the shouts, Bai Yao understood that his army had finally arrived.
He was no longer afraid of the ambushed enemies.
He paid no attention to anyone. At that moment, he could only see the one in his arms.
“Xia Liang, you’ll be fine”, Bai Yao held her and said firmly.
This was what he said to her, also to himself.
In his lifetime, Bai Yao had never been so scared, trembling or frightened.
He never showed a trace of timidity even in the face of heavy enemy forces, he never blinked or feared even in the face of the most difficult danger!
However, holding Xia Liang’s body, and feeling the sticky blood flowing out from her back, Bai Yao, for the first time, felt the dazzling red and terrible warmth of blood!
Xia Liang’s face turned scary pale, with cold sweat on her forehead. She closed her eyes and did not cry out a trace of pain. She just pressed her lips tightly, and endured the pains silently.
Looking at her like this, Bai Yao felt even more suffocated and heartbroken. He even wanted to open a hole in his heart so that he could breathe deeply.
He was so panic that his composure as the god of war had completely vanished. He quickly squatted on the ground, holding Xia Liang gingerly, and took out his curing drug to stop her from the bleeding.
Bai Yao was more than nervous seeing Xia Liang not giving response after he tried to heal her wound. He reached out his hand to feel her breath from time to time, fearing of her dying of pain.
While now a quarrel was also raging on in Xia Liang’s mind. Well, actually, it was 9557 that went crazy there.
“Liang, consider your situation! Even if you played the martyr to gain love, the game is out of control. You’ll die if you shed so much blood.”
“Rest assured.”
She knew some sort of medical skills, so when she rushed toward the enemy, she naturally avoided from harming her vital parts. As long as the treatment was timely, nothing would happen at all she believed.
She was going to bandage herself, but 9957 strongly objected, insisting that she should pretend to faint to continue their tricks.
Xia Liang reassured, however, feeling that Bai Yao was already dealing with the wound for her. Although she pretended to faint, she was actually awake.
“Liang, you forgot to say your lines! Wake up quickly, and take the opportunity to show your pains to let him more distressed. He is already very anxious! I can see he really cares about you. After returning, you can definitely accompany by his side. So now we need to increase his favorability for you…”
9957’s nagging finally made Xia Liang unbearable.
She opened her eyes weakly and gave Bai Yao a look. Her voice was always cold as usual and said, “thank god you’re okay.”
Having said this, Xia Liang finally went faint, feeling relieved, despite 9957′ s nagging.
If you were not injured, Su Mei would not take care of you, and you would not have a chance to establish a good feeling for her. Fantastic.
Xia Liang’s words were no different from a loud thunder to Bai Yao, which shook his heart and made it tingle and ache.
Bai Yao held her tight, and reached out his hand to caress her closed eyes, an uncontrollable affection and passion filling his eyes.
