C16 Hunting Crisis(3)

Lee Mingde walked with ease, the deeper he went, the darker it became, and he was almost unable to see the way. He suddenly let go of Hua Xiangrong's hand, without Lee Mingde's support, Hua Xiangrong panicked. In the darkness, she wanted to grab his hand, stabilize her mind, and forcefully suppress the fear in her heart.

He lit a torch and brought it over. A pair of peach blossom eyes that could mesmerize a little girl were currently smiling, "Miss Hua, I have saved your life again. Tell me, how are you going to thank me?"

The man's eyes were filled with a playful light. Hua Xiangrong had never liked Lee Mingde's gaze, with a smile that was not a smile, and with an unfathomable emotion. Not only did she not thank him, she even pushed him lightly because of his actions just now.

Lee Mingde also did not expect Hua Xiangrong to suddenly push him. In the bottomless cave, he accidentally stepped on a rock, and only after a long while did he hear a plop.

Hua Xiangrong reached out her hand and pulled, shouting, "Be careful."

Although she pushed Lee Mingde, it was only because he had suddenly let go of her hand that she was confused and afraid. She wanted him to stay away from her and did not intend to let him fall, but as luck would have it, Lee Mingde lost his balance and fell.

Lee Mingde fell to the ground, the torch fell out of his wrist and rolled to another place. He looked at Hua Xiangrong who had reached out her hand but failed to hold him back, gritted his teeth and said, "You Hua Xiangrong, you actually murdered me. I came here to save you because I was out of my mind, I might as well let you die under my bear's paw. That way, no one will go against me."

A bear appeared in the Royal Hunting Ground. This was not an accident no matter how one looked at it. Hua Xiangrong was not a fool, she guessed that the imperial family must be afraid of the Hua family and wanted to kill her so that the Hua family would not have any descendants. However, she did not know if this was done by the princes or the emperor.

The emperor had a knot in his heart regarding the Hua family. Just because the emperor did not mention the death of the First Prince did not mean that he did not have anything in his heart. Lee Mingde was the emperor's most beloved son and could not be touched, but the Hua family was not.

It was just that although Lee Mingde was the Third Prince and was personally conferred the title of South Vanquisher by the Emperor, he still stepped forward to save her at such a dangerous moment. He did not seem to be a bad person. It was the same when he was in the forest before, and he had saved her twice. He could be considered her benefactor.

He had taken her, she had pushed him, and it seemed she had repaid his kindness with ingratitude.

Hua Xiangrong walked forward, pulled up Lee Mingde who was on the ground, picked up the torch from the ground and said, "Alright, alright, alright, what are you fussing about as a man? We're all men, what's the big deal? Let's go, let's hurry up and get out."

"All men?"

Lee Mingde raised his eyebrows, his long and narrow phoenix eyes carrying a playful smile. He looked at Hua Xiangrong who was searching for a path in front of him, sizing her up, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Hua Xiangrong, are you sure you are a man?"

Hua Xiangrong was unhappy and glared at him fiercely. Her gaze was like a knife that fell below him, "Lee Mingde, if you dare to say any more nonsense, I guarantee that your lower body will be like mine."

Perhaps it was because of Hua Xiangrong's threat just now, but Lee Mingde did not tease her anymore. He slowly followed behind Hua Xiangrong, and the two of them walked deeper into the cave.

A faint smell of blood filled the cave, and her consciousness gradually returned. Only then did she remember that Lee Mingde must have been injured in the fight with the bear.
