On the land of Huaxia Nation, a boss of a Gambling House once said, "When you see a gambler with only one card left, the first thing you must do is cut off all his escape routes. Because, most likely, this gambler will choose to run away, and only by fleeing will he find a glimmer of hope in this cruel world."
Ye Huan had not been in this world for long, so he could not have encountered the boss of that Gambling House who uttered those words.
However, just as the boss had said, the only survivor among the two hundred sent by Long Batian realized that his companions had perished in the blink of an eye. Without hesitation, he chose to take that path, fleeing into the distance with his last card—the little princess.
"Is this guy serious? Just runs away like that?"
Zhang Ren watched in disbelief as the kidnapper of the little princess shouted at Ye Huan to stop. Before Ye Huan could even halt his actions, Zhang Ren noticed that the man had disregarded everything and opted to flee. Anger bubbled up inside him as he cursed aloud.
Beside him, Ye Huan didn't even have a chance to roll his eyes. He shouted, "Quick, chase after him! No matter what, we must rescue the little princess today!" Gripping his M4A1 assault rifle tightly, he dashed after the black-clad figure who had already run quite a distance. As for the heavy Dragon Scale Armor, Ye Huan stored it away in his Summoning Book.
With Ye Huan's reminder, Zhang Ren snapped back to reality. Just as he was about to rush out after Ye Huan, a voice belonging to the chubby Weiyang called out from beneath him, "Wait! Can someone please free me first?"
After cutting through the ropes binding Weiyang, both Zhang Ren and Weiyang took off simultaneously with a single goal in mind—the little princess!
Thus began a marathon-like chase…
They exited Beiyuan City, ran across open fields, crossed rivers, and climbed mountains. For an entire day and night, Ye Huan and his companions chased after the black-clad man in hopes of heroically rescuing the princess. Midway through, it was clear that even Ye Huan—the weakest among them—was struggling. Even Weiyang, who continuously cast wind-based acceleration spells on himself, was beginning to falter. Eventually, they were nearly carried forward by Zhang Ren.
Fortunately, Zhang Ren was a Fifth-Level Warrior. Compared to the Third-Rank Warrior who had kidnapped the little princess, he was significantly stronger. This allowed him to keep pace while carrying both of them and gradually close the distance.
Finally, after twenty-four hours of relentless pursuit, Ye Huan and his companions managed to exhaust the Third-Rank Warrior until he collapsed on the side of a mountain…
The little princess was also tossed aside into the nearby bushes. What a joke! He could barely run himself, let alone carry a woman.
Upon noticing the figure of the man in black, Zhang Ren and the other two did not immediately check on the little princess's safety. Instead, they all sat down heavily, panting for breath. Ye Huan was the first to stand up among them. He quickly made his way to the bushes and untied the ropes binding the little princess, who was still unconscious or perhaps just dazed.
Gently patting her delicate face, Ye Huan gradually roused her from her slumber, and she opened her beautiful eyes…
Smack!
As soon as the little princess woke up and saw Ye Huan's face less than thirty centimeters away from hers, her instinctive self-defense kicked in. With a swift motion, she slapped Ye Huan hard across the face, leaving five distinct finger marks on his cheek.
"…"
Ye Huan never expected that after finally rescuing the little princess, he would receive an inexplicable slap. He stood there dumbfounded. At just nineteen years old, he had no trouble dealing with a group of hot-blooded gangsters, but when it came to a stunningly beautiful woman, his mind clearly faltered.
Meanwhile, Weiyang and Zhang Ren, who were still lying on the ground, gasped in unison upon hearing that crisp slap. They instinctively touched their own cheeks as if that slap had landed on them instead. After a moment, Weiyang finally reacted. He stood up and walked toward the man in black who had kidnapped the little princess. He kicked him twice while cursing, "Damn it! I told you to run! Why aren’t you running now?"
Hearing Weiyang's furious shouts, the little princess along with Ye Huan and Zhang Ren looked over from halfway up the mountain. Ye Huan and Zhang Ren were fine; they had come to rescue her and were already filled with rage toward the man in black. Weiyang’s actions were justified.
However, upon seeing Weiyang's movements, the little princess recalled what had happened earlier—how she had been knocked unconscious after being chased by the man in black. She glanced at Ye Huan, who had just received her slap, feeling embarrassed and wanting to express some apology but unsure how to begin. Her fair hands nervously fiddled with the hem of her dress.
Unfortunately for her, someone didn’t notice this expression at all. Ye Huan seemed to have forgotten about being slapped and quickly approached Weiyang, who was still kicking the man in black. He placed a hand on Weiyang's shoulder and quietly asked, "Alright now, Weiyang, stop hitting him. Are you alright?"
It was only at this moment that after chasing the man in black for a day and night did Ye Huan finally have time to ask about Weiyang’s condition. With Zhang Ren carrying both of them while running away, they hadn’t had time to talk amidst all that jostling.
"I'm fine; don't worry about me. But what about the little princess?" Weiyang replied with gratitude as he turned back to Ye Huan. Then he noticed the little princess sitting on the ground with her legs exposed beneath her split dress and smiled as he walked over to her.
Before he could reach the little princess, Zhang Ren noticed her demeanor. The shyness she displayed had a deadly charm that could easily captivate any normal man. In a hurry, Zhang Ren exclaimed, "Little Princess, are you alright?"
Without thinking, he grabbed Weiyang's black robe, trying to reach the little princess before Weiyang could.
However, Weiyang was not about to let him have his way. Thus, the two lecherous men began to tussle over the beauty of the little princess, each refusing to back down.
Seeing Weiyang and Zhang Ren like this, the little princess couldn't help but cover her delicate lips and smile charmingly, gaining a new appreciation for her own allure—except when it came to certain individuals...
Lost in thought, the little princess turned her gaze elsewhere. Next to the bound figure in black, Ye Huan was staring blankly at the sky. His chiseled profile instantly captivated her. After a moment's hesitation, she stood up and tiptoed over to Ye Huan's side, leaning in to whisper, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Perhaps it was due to her royal upbringing; the little princess's voice was as melodious as a lark, snapping Ye Huan back to reality. He glanced at her and smiled helplessly before sitting down on the ground. He plucked a piece of grass and stuck it in his mouth before slowly saying, "I was thinking about how we should get back..."
"Don't worry. I think my father will send someone to find us..." Sitting halfway up the mountain, the scenery below was exceptionally beautiful as the little princess comforted Ye Huan while admiring the view.
"Let's hope so!" Ye Huan pulled the grass from his mouth and tossed it aside, silently praying in his heart.
It had been many days since he arrived in this world, and although many things had happened along the way, none had truly brought him any comfort. That’s why he sighed like this.
That night, under a sky full of stars with moonlight washing over everything, on an unknown high mountain, aside from one bound figure in black, the remaining four had split into two groups and were fast asleep after a day and night of turmoil.
One group was undoubtedly Weiyang and Zhang Ren. As they tussled, fatigue eventually overcame them, leading these two grown men to embrace each other as they drifted off into slumber.
As for the other group...
The next day, just as the sun peeked over the horizon, Ye Huan slowly opened his eyes. Immediately, he found four eyes blinking right in front of him, startling him. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Weiyang and Zhang Ren staring at him. This struck Ye Huan as odd as he asked them both, "Hey hey, what are you two looking at?"
Without saying a word, and without even blinking, Weiyang and Zhang Ren simultaneously extended a hand and pointed at Ye Huan's chest.
Following their gaze, Ye Huan was taken aback by an unbelievable sight: the little princess was sleeping on his chest, her face adorned with a blissful smile.
Perhaps the movement of Ye Huan and the others disturbed the little princess, or maybe it was simply time for her to wake up. As all six eyes focused on her, the little princess stretched out a hand to rub her eyes.
Noticing this action, Weiyang and Zhang Ren immediately turned their heads away and quickly scurried to the side, as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, the little princess slowly opened her eyes.
Smack...
Once again, their eyes met, followed by a resounding slap. The little princess stood up tightly gripping the collar of her qipao and walked to the side, her face seemingly flushed to the point of bleeding.
As for Ye Huan, having received two unexpected slaps in one day, he rubbed his cheek in frustration before standing up and stretching lazily. He didn't take those slaps too seriously; as a man, he thought it unnecessary to hold a grudge against a woman, especially one of royal status.
Gurgle...
After not eating for a day and night, Ye Huan's stomach audibly protested as he moved. Remembering that they had rushed from Beiyuan City without preparing any food, he couldn't help but ask Weiyang and Zhang Ren, "When are we going back?"
"Back? You don't need to think about that for now. Take a look at this..."
Upon hearing Ye Huan's question, Weiyang's expression suddenly turned awkward as he reached into his pocket and pulled out something, tossing it in front of Ye Huan.
