Chapter 1415: Chapter 810: Facing Life and Death, Fate Uncertain
The desert at night is quiet yet romantic.
The wind blew, Zhou Wei’s reeds swayed with the wind, making a rustling sound.
Xie Qianyun snuggled in Xiao Luming’s embrace.
It was extremely cold, but the warmth from two people cuddling was noticeably more.
Is it just an illusion?!
Luming’s heartbeat seems unusually fast.
But she was feeling a bit sleepy.
Her thoughts began to drift.
This day and night of escape was finally too much for her to handle, and she fell asleep...
In her blurry state, she seemed to hear Luming call her name.
Or perhaps it was a dream.
She slept very soundly.
Luming pursed his lips, feeling the presence in his arms with its even breathing.
He knew she was very tired.
This journey had been exhausting.
To save her, she had nearly sacrificed her own life.
But...
Luming let out a heavy sigh.
He struggled to muster the courage to speak to her, yet she didn’t hear a word.
Luming helplessly watched Qianyun sleeping deeply against him.
Under the moonlight, her small face was still dirty, lips slightly puckered, rising and falling with her steady breaths.
Luming’s heartbeat, which had just steadied, inexplicably accelerated again.
His fingers couldn’t help but caress her cheek.
Gently wiping away the dust on her face.
He inadvertently touched her lips.
The soft lips.
After days of rushing and fleeing, her lip color had faded, faded to the point of wanting to help her enhance the hue.
Luming’s Adam’s apple moved up and down.
His body stiffened.
Stiffening, he leaned down slowly.
He inch by inch approached Qianyun’s lips.
The tension of that moment exceeded his expectations...
His lips hadn’t touched hers yet.
Suddenly, the surroundings felt different.
A menacing and eerie atmosphere rushed towards them.
Luming sensed it.
Qianyun, even in her sleep, felt it too.
She suddenly opened her eyes.
The two quickly stood up from the ground, seeing clearly, not far ahead of them, dozens of starving wolves, their eyes glowing green.
Clearly, they were treating them as food.
Qianyun’s heart shivered and her back felt a chill.
She clenched her fists tightly.
Facing off against the hungry wolves, eyeing them fiercely.
Any slight movement would cause the wolves to charge at them.
"Your Majesty." Qianyun steadied her breathing, her voice also very small and faint.
Luming was beside her.
He was also on high alert, sweat breaking out on his forehead.
He originally thought he just needed to wait for rescue to return safely, but unexpectedly, there were ferocious beasts even in the desert.
"I have a dagger on me, take it." Qianyun slowly and discreetly handed the dagger to Luming.
Luming’s eyes flickered.
He knew Qianyun had only this one weapon for self-defense.
If she gave it to him, what would she use to fend off the wolf pack?
"Your Majesty, protect yourself well. If you have the chance, leave first. I’ll do my best to cover for you," Qianyun said again, her voice finally somewhat hurried.
It was clear she noticed the increasing restlessness of the wolves.
"Qianyun." Luming’s voice was soft, yet still conveyed his anger.
"Your Majesty, make sure to protect yourself!" Qianyun’s voice was noticeably more urgent and louder.
Because at this moment, a pack of hungry wolves rushed directly at them.
Qianyun quickly shielded Luming from harm.
Then she kicked away the first wolf that lunged at them.
Endless wolves kept coming.
Qianyun fought them barehanded.
Luming had the dagger, barely fending off the encroaching wolves.
There was no telling how many wolves there were.
Quite a few had been killed, yet more kept charging forward.
Escape was definitely not an option.
They could only fight to the death.
Qianyun had sustained some injuries.
Bitten by wolves, her body was marked with blood.
Luming had his share, but much lighter than Qianyun.
Because Qianyun primarily prevented the wolves from truly getting close to Luming.
She vigorously shielded him, refusing to let the wolves harm him.
Suddenly, a wild wolf leaped up directly from the sand, rushing down on them.
At that moment, Qianyun was occupied with the few wolves in front, didn’t notice the wolf that lunged straight onto Luming.
The wolf’s power was too strong.
Luming was thrown to the ground by the starving wolf, its mouth opened wide, revealing sharp, lethal teeth, aiming directly for Luming’s face.
