Yun Qixi often went around the wild, and it was not like she had never met any wild animals before. However, a man this big had never competed with anyone before. Especially when he saw its long fangs, he felt that he must have melted in its mouth.

She was really scared and a little flustered. He involuntarily retreated a few steps, tripping over his feet as he plopped down on the grass.

Shan Jingyan didn't seem to understand why the Little Xue was suddenly acting like this. He only stretched out his arms to block in front of Yun Qixi as if it was a conditioned reflex, and said to the Little Xue, "Little Xue, what happened to you? Qi Xi is my friend, don't hurt her. "

The Little Xue was indeed very intelligent. When Shan Jingyan stood in front of it, it had retracted its ferocious look. Because it spread its hooves, planning to circle around Shan Jingyan and attack him.

Yun Qixi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She climbed up from the ground in a hurry and hid behind Shan Jingyan while shouting words at the Little Xue.

"Little Xue, you are the gentlest, kindest, prettiest, pay attention to your image, we just met, if there is anything that has offended you, please do not blame me, please forgive me."

Yun Qixi flattered her extremely quickly, but the Little Xue did not move at all. It continued to walk left and right, wanting to pounce on Shan Jingyan while he was unawares.

Shan Jingyan naturally could not give it this chance, and kept protecting in front of Yun Qixi, not allowing it the slightest bit.

Suddenly, as if it had lost its patience, the Little Xue was no longer willing to play the game of eagle catching chickens. It suddenly moved closer to Shan Jingyan, thinking that Yun Qixi was about to get its teeth on him, but seeing that it had only used its teeth to grab his clothes, it shook its head vigorously and threw Shan Jingyan to the side.

Without the shield, Little Xue's tall body was right in front of him, and she could see a pair of bloodthirsty red eyes. Yun Qixi panicked, turned and ran away.

When a person was in a critical moment, they would truly unleash their limitless potential. Yun Qixi felt that her current running speed had most likely broken the world record. However, no matter how fast she was, she wouldn't be able to outrun the four-legged Little Xue. Hearing the sound of the hooves chasing after their lives, Yun Qixi couldn't help but look back nervously. The Little Xue quickly caught up.

"Little Xue, stop, don't hurt Qi Xi."

They had already run a distance, so Shan Jingyan's voice was far away.

Just as the Little Xue was about to pounce, an arrow whizzed over from afar and landed on its back. But the Little Xue's body was huge, and this arrow was not painful nor itchy to it, only making it slow for a moment. It still had not given up on attacking Yun Qixi.

Even though the arrow was still stuck into its body, and its blood had already dyed its snow-white fur red, it still continued to pounce towards Yun Qixi.

"Little Xue, I don't remember that I have any deep grudges with you." Yun Qixi fell onto the grass again, in a sorry state.

Seeing that the Little Xue's fangs were about to bite into her pants, Yun Qixi's leg tightened and rolled on the ground a few times.

Right at that moment, a shadow flashed before her eyes, and immediately afterwards, she was hugged by a pair of arms. Her back was pressed against a wide embrace. Yun Qixi could only smell a faint mint fragrance. At the same time, she saw a flash of sword light in the air, and the tip of the sword pierced towards the Little Xue. A large part of the Little Xue's snow-white fur was dyed red.

The Little Xue wailed, its huge body writhing in pain.

Yun Qixi felt that she should take this chance to run, but she discovered that her hands and feet were too weak. The lingering fear made her entire body tremble.

She lived to twenty and never admitted a word of fear. She was not afraid of death and people had to die, but she hoped that she could die quickly. Being chased to the brink of life and death by such a huge creature was even worse than directly killing her.

Suddenly, Yun Qixi straightened her body and met Shan Liancheng's cold eyes. She was lying down, and he was on top of her, and then he suddenly lowered his head and began to tear at her clothes. Instinctively, she gripped his arm and glared at him.

Shan Liancheng ignored her question. If he moved again, she would grab onto him even more tightly. Her strength could not compare to his, so she used his nails to dig deeper into his flesh. Shan Liancheng's pupils suddenly shrank, the urgency in his eyes had been replaced with a trace of impatience. He stared at her from a very close distance, the lines on his face becoming tighter and tighter.

"Do you want to die?" Shan Liancheng gritted his teeth and asked.

Of course she didn't want to die! But Yun Qixi stubbornly stared at him and did not let go. Then, her eyes widened even more because she saw the Little Xue pouncing towards her again. It was like an enraged lion, its eyes blood-red. The moment it pounced over, it let out a loud and clear howl.

Although Shan Liancheng did not raise his head, he was very familiar with the movements of the Little Xue.

"Third Brother, don't hurt the Little Xue." In that moment of life and death, Shan Jingyan shouted loudly.

It was also because of his shout that Yun Qixi noticed Shan Liancheng's originally sharp gaze hesitating for a moment, and then pointed the sword in her direction. The tip of the sword was originally aimed at the neck artery of the Little Xue, but in the end, it only brushed past the fur on its neck.

He spared its life, but the Little Xue did not appreciate it and pounced on it again.

Yun Qixi could tell that its target was still her, she really didn't know how she offended it.

The Little Xue opened its mouth wide and bit towards her leg, but it only took a moment to dodge, Yun Qixi thought that her leg was going to be crippled, she watched as the Little Xue bit onto her leg, but she did not feel any pain, because the Little Xue was biting onto Shan Liancheng who had suddenly lost his sword and stretched out his arm.

"Prince Jin …"

"Third Brother …"

"Master …"

A series of exclamations came from not too far away.

Shan Jingyan ran over and hugged the Little Xue tightly. It was not easy to separate the Little Xue's teeth from Shan Liancheng's arm. The anger of the Little Xue did not subside. Its bloodied teeth were grinning widely, making it seem even more furious. With just Shan Jingyan's strength alone, it was impossible to subdue it. Just then, Ge Feng suddenly appeared from nowhere, and together with Shan Jingyan, they held onto the Little Xue's huge body.

Yun Qixi stared at Shan Liancheng's sleeves that were already drenched in blood, fresh blood dripping onto the green grass.

"You, how are you?" Yun Qixi realized that her voice was trembling.

Shan Liancheng breathed heavily as he stared at her. His eyebrows were knitted extremely tightly, as if he was annoyed or angry. Suddenly, his hand grabbed her clothes, and with a sudden rip, he tore off a piece. This time, Yun Qixi actually forgot to stop him, he just foolishly allowed him to do so, then watched as he tore off the sleeve that was stained in blood and threw it into the distance. After doing all this, he turned over and lay down on the grass.

The Little Xue that was originally under control suddenly looked at the two pieces of cloth and became irritable once again. The Little Xue's strength was very strong, but Shan Jingyan and Ge Feng had almost used up all of their strength, and when it struggled to stand up once again, it easily struggled free from the grasp of two people.

Everyone opened their eyes wide in shock. Many guards rushed over and stood in front of Shan Liancheng to protect him. However, to everyone's surprise, the Little Xue just threw itself at the two pieces of blood-stained cloth, and tore them into pieces with its fangs in a matter of minutes.

At this moment, Yun Qixi seemed to have understood something. As she stood up and looked, the piece of flesh that Shan Liancheng tore off her body was exactly the one that Qing Li had stained with blood.

So at first he didn't want anything, but to save her? If she hadn't stubbornly stopped him, delaying the right moment, he definitely wouldn't have gotten hurt.

At the moment, Shan Liancheng seemed to be tired and was just lying quietly. After tearing off his sleeve, his injured arm was completely exposed. There were a few deep teeth holes on his bright red arm, and the green grass under his arm was dyed red.

She had many emotions about him and her, most of them hatred, anger, resentment. In short, most of the time, they seemed to be incompatible like fire and water. This was the first time, that she felt a deep sense of guilt towards him.

She looked at him, and he was looking back at her. They looked at each other, and it was hard to tell if he understood her guilt or not. His eyes no longer had the same annoyance and impatience as when he had first torn off her clothes. Instead, they relaxed slightly, as if the injured person was not him.

Years later, when she asked him why he did it, he said, "It's an instinct to protect you."

While the Little Xue was busy fighting with the two pieces of fabric, all the guards rushed forward and tried their best to subdue it.

"Prince Jin …"

"Master …"

After a series of shouts, many people rushed over.

Amongst these voices, Yun Qixi heard a familiar voice call out "Lian Cheng". She raised her head and saw that the Imperial Concubine was stumbling and running over with the support of a servant girl.

Amongst the group of people, one of them strode straight towards her.

"Qixi, how are you? Are you hurt? " Yun Chong asked with concern.

Yun Qixi was speechless, not because she was shocked, but because she looked at the direction where the group of people were coming from, and saw a few people who she never expected to see here.

Emperor, Empress, Shan Ziyin, Yun Lanyue.

Almost subconsciously, Yun Qixi looked at the Shan Liancheng who was currently being escorted, and an additional layer of worry appeared in his heart.

"Lian Cheng, how are you? God, so much blood? Imperial Physician, where's Imperial Physician Gu? "

Imperial Concubine hugged Shan Liancheng's head in his arms and shouted in panic.

Just then, a green figure suddenly rushed over, Qing Li stared at the blood on Shan Liancheng's hands, his body went soft, he knelt in front of Shan Liancheng, his lips trembling.

"Master, you, what happened to you?" How could this be? "

After asking, she anxiously turned to look at Yun Qixi. Yun Qixi's gaze landed on her legs. It was said that the person who had sprained his leg just now had ran very fast, his recovery ability was truly astonishing. Then, his gaze slowly moved up, and when he met Qing Li's uneasy gaze, a cold glint flashed past his eyes.

Qing Li lowered her head in panic, biting on her trembling finger, her gaze falling on Shan Liancheng's injured arm.

"Lian Cheng, your leg is healed?"

Shan Ye's cold question was like a clap of thunder, instantly silencing the rowdy audience.
