The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

Chapter 1414: Chapter 809: Survival: If You Die, I Can’t Live Either_4

It was as if countless stars could light up in her eyes.

"I found a water source," Xie Qianyun said hastily, her voice full of joy, "We’re not going to die."

Xiao Luming looked at her.

Just looked at her intently.

Xie Qianyun really didn’t abandon him.

Such a small frame, how could it be so tenacious?

"Your Majesty, do you want to sit up for a bit? Moving a little after sleeping for so long might make you feel more comfortable?"

Xiao Luming nodded slightly.

Xie Qianyun helped Xiao Luming sit up.

Xiao Luming had slept for quite a while and had rehydrated sufficiently, his body clearly feeling much better now.

"Drink some more water," Xie Qianyun handed the canteen to Xiao Luming, "Replenish your fluids."

Xiao Luming looked down at Xie Qianyun’s canteen.

As he reached out for it, he saw Xie Qianyun’s hands were full of dust and sand, seemingly stained with blood as well.

His eyes twitched slightly, noticing a deep trench not far away.

So.

Was this water dug out by Xie Qianyun with her bare hands?!

"Drink it, I will fetch more later," Xie Qianyun urged.

Thinking Xiao Luming was worried about running out of water.

Xiao Luming withdrew his gaze and slowly drank a few sips.

After finishing, Xie Qianyun hurriedly went to refill it.

Both of them rehydrated and rested for a while, feeling much more refreshed.

Xie Qianyun felt around her body and took out a dry biscuit from a pouch she kept close.

Xiao Luming’s eyes flickered.

The food and water he carried with him during the sandstorm had been blown away, and he didn’t expect Xie Qianyun to still have some.

Perhaps, having never survived in the wild before, he didn’t understand the importance of food. So during the sandstorm, his main focus was on ensuring his own life, not paying much attention to anything else.

But Xie Qianyun, having gone through long-term wilderness training, knew clearly that surviving without food in the wild ultimately leads to death, so she desperately protected the food.

This dry biscuit was also covered in a lot of yellow sand.

Xie Qianyun wiped her hands clean, and when she couldn’t, she rinsed them a little with water.

Even though they had found a spring, the past suffering of water shortage made Xie Qianyun unwilling to waste even a drop of water. After barely cleaning her hands, she brushed off the sand on the biscuit and broke a piece off, handing it to Xiao Luming, "Your Majesty, eat."

Xiao Luming, of course, was also hungry.

At this moment, any food in front of him could be considered a delicacy.

He took it without hesitation and started eating.

After a few bites, he suddenly noticed Xie Qianyun carefully placing the remaining biscuit back into her pouch.

"Aren’t you eating?" Xiao Luming asked.

"I don’t know how long it will be before my mother finds us, it’s better to save some food just in case," Xie Qianyun said calmly.

Xiao Luming swallowed hard.

The taste of the biscuit still lingered between his lips and teeth.

He placed the small portion he had left at Xie Qianyun’s mouth, "Eat it."

"I don’t need to eat, I’ll go find some reed roots."

"Xie Qianyun!" Xiao Luming’s voice deepened.

Xie Qianyun was so startled by him.

Moments ago, he was still on the brink of death, and now he was full of vigor.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have let him recover so quickly.

"Open your mouth," Xiao Luming ordered.

Xie Qianyun had no choice but to obey, opening her lips.

Xiao Luming roughly stuffed the remaining biscuit into Xie Qianyun’s mouth.

Xie Qianyun’s cheeks puffed up as she was filled full.

In the past, Xiao Luming would definitely have despised Xie Qianyun for eating like this, but now he found her puffed cheeks inexplicably cute.

As he watched.

His face suddenly felt inexplicably warm.

Xiao Luming turned his head away, looking to the side.

Xie Qianyun finally managed to chew the biscuit down.

She took two more sips of water.

With food replenishment, her body clearly recovered better.

"Let’s just wait here for rescue and not leave," Xie Qianyun said, "First, we won’t waste energy. Second, we have a water supply. Third, I trust the rescuers will guess that our priority is to find water."

"Hmm." Xiao Luming agreed.

It was his thought as well.

Xie Qianyun saw Xiao Luming didn’t seem to want to talk much, so she stopped.

The desert night was very silent.

There was also a significant difference in temperature between day and night.

Both had removed their armor to stay light and make walking easier.

Because Xie Qianyun had used her outer garment to make a rope to save Xiao Luming, she was now wearing only two thin inner layers, and the wind was a bit cold.

Xie Qianyun shivered, hugging herself.

Xiao Luming naturally noticed Xie Qianyun’s movement, and he suddenly stretched out his long arm, pulling Xie Qianyun directly into his embrace.

Xie Qianyun was startled.

"Don’t move," Xiao Luming commanded.

Xie Qianyun dared not move.

Once Xiao Luming recovered, he was fierce again.

She suddenly missed the weakened Xiao Luming a little.

Xiao Luming adjusted to a more comfortable posture and held Xie Qianyun tightly in his arms.

Xie Qianyun had been wet all over with sweat on their journey.

He should have been extremely displeased by her smell, yet inexplicably, he found some indescribable feeling instead. He couldn’t believe that he found her body fragrance pleasant, making him want to bury his head in her neck.

And Xie Ruotong’s body also seemed, soft and warm.

She nestled in his arms in a small bundle, inexplicably making his heart beat faster, face red, and ears hot.
