Gently awakening, she slowly opened her eyes. One hand supporting her head, she felt a throbbing headache and a momentary blank in her mind. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, Xiao Rufeng anxiously looked around until she caught sight of a distant yellow figure.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Rufeng stumbled and jogged over, squatting down and vigorously shaking Murong Junsheng.

Mmm! Murong Junsheng opened his eyes blankly, looking at the face that was very close to him, feeling momentarily confused. "Where are we?"

"Your subordinate is inept and failed to protect Your Majesty, causing Your Majesty to fall into difficulty. Please, Your Majesty, punish me!" Seeing Murong Junsheng wake up, Xiao Rufeng heaved a sigh of relief, took a few steps back, and knelt down on the dirty soil by the edge of the creek to ask for forgiveness.

One thrilling scene after another flashed through his mind. He recalled how he had eventually rolled down and, upon surveying his surroundings and feeling his damp clothes, realized he had landed by a small stream. He had narrowly escaped a great calamity!

"Get up! It's not entirely your fault! If it weren't for my impulsiveness, it wouldn't have come to this!" Murong Junsheng glanced at Xiao Rufeng, who was bowing his head obediently, and said lightly. In that moment upon waking up, he seemed to have glimpsed the girl who haunted his dreams. If it weren't for the bloody mark on Xiao Rufeng's face, he would have mistaken him for her."

"Help me up!" Murong Junsheng shifted his body slightly, feeling sore all over and unable to exert any strength. He then commanded.

"Yes!" Xiao Rufeng quickly responded, getting up to help Murong Junsheng stand.

In fact, Xiao Rufeng's injuries are not lighter than Murong Junsheng's. It's just that Murong Junsheng has been living a privileged life since childhood and is inherently more delicate. On the other hand, Xiao Rufeng has always been tough and stoic, enduring pain and suffering in silence.

Moreover, considering his identity as well! Xiao Rufeng endured the pain throughout his body as he supported Murong Junsheng.

Perhaps Murong Junsheng also knew that Xiao Rufeng was injured, but he didn't excessively put his weight on him. On the contrary, he carefully moved his steps as much as possible.

The two of them supported each other, taking one step at a time, slowly moving forward.

As they continued on their way, Xiao Rufeng began to feel something was not right. It seemed like they had deviated from their intended direction. And as the sky gradually darkened, both of them went from being calm and composed to becoming anxious and uneasy. They knew very well that it was the time when wild beasts frequently appeared at night, and they were definitely not capable of fighting them again.

"Your Majesty, we can no longer continue traveling. We must find a place to shelter before it gets dark, or else..." Xiao Rufeng did not continue speaking. He knew that Murong Junsheng understood the unspoken words.

Murong Junsheng was well aware of the dangers that came with the arrival of nightfall. However, as he looked out across the mountains, it seemed as if there was nowhere for the two of them to take shelter.

Ai! Murong Junsheng sighed silently, feeling that he had never been so embarrassed in his over twenty years of life.

"Let's go! Hopefully, we can find a cave to take shelter in!" At this moment, Murong Junsheng felt regretful. He shouldn't have been so willful, shouldn't have separated from the main force, otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Ao ao ao! From far away, the howls of wolves could be heard. Mu Rong Jun Sheng couldn't help but shiver. Could it be that after escaping from the jaws of a tiger, he would now be fed to the wolves?

Tired, but the two of them had to keep moving forward until they found a place to stay.

"Your Majesty, look, is that a cave up there?" Murong Junsheng was already exhausted, his mouth dry and his tongue parched. At this moment, Xiao Rufeng's voice exploded in his ears, filled with excitement, like celestial music.

"It's a cave, let's go! Hurry!" Murong Junsheng followed the direction pointed by Xiao Rufeng and looked over. The lighting was too dim, but there was indeed a faint outline of a cave.

Both of them hurried forward, feeling a bit excited.
