A pack of starving coyotes headed towards them. A sharp gaze with a terrifying grin was clearly visible. The Wolves instantly gathered together like an assault formation when they saw his people lying on the ground.
Aaauuuuuu
Again, howls were heard before the attack began. The Wolves became violent when they smelled the fishy smell of blood splattered on the ground. They seemed to understand what their friend who had died as a result of Man felt.
"Seraaaaang" cried Mr. Khong as the coyote ran and then pounced on them.
All weapons are used as a defense tool. They are trying to protect themselves with every effort. But in the end, everyone still lost against the ferocious beast's ferocity.
"Aarrgggh," a shrill scream of pain amidst the haunted forest.
They were bitten, clawed, ripped, and some were even eaten right then and there. All the remaining people were naturally frightened at the ferocity of the Wolf.
"Retreat!" Khong Guan ordered his men to retreat.
Finally, the rest of his subordinates rushed away leaving the horrifying place, including Xin'er and Xiaolang who had already ran first. While running, Zhaozu's Sunflower hairpin used to fall on the ground.
"Sister, my hairpin's falling!" xin'er exclaimed turning around and was about to take it. But, Xiaolang immediately withdrew his sister's hand and ignored Xin'er's whining. Finally, the girl could only resignedly see her husband's hairpin dropped even to the point of being stepped on by the feet of people running around.
'Perhaps with the loss of the item, it can also take away my feelings for him.' Inner Xin'er. He tried to walk faster so as not to become a victim of the ferocious Wolf.
"Aaaakkkhh," the shrill pain of a woman heard from behind made everyone turn to look.
The moment the woman's body fell, the Wolves instantly swarmed over her and tore her apart mercilessly.
A middle-aged man stopped in panic after hearing a voice his daughter believed in. "God, Yunqi. No!" he turned around and was going to help his daughter, but everyone stopped him.
"Boqing, you can't help your daughter. You're gonna get hurt," they all said.
However, the man did not care and immediately helped remove the Wolves from his daughter's body. Boqing tried to fight back with all his might, but still his strength was no match for the starving ferocious Beast. Eventually, he was eaten by a hungry wolf with his daughter.
Coincidental or what? As it turned out, the physical and DNA traits of Boqing's daughter, Yunqi, were the same as Xin'er. So, by the time Zhaoling found the body and was examined by the Forensics team, they could confirm that it was Princess Xin'er.
After exiting the haunted forest, Xiaolang and Xin'er followed the masked robbers. To be more precise, the two were brought and helped by them. Both conditions make them sympathetic and willing to help treat the wound.
However, due to Xiaolang's severe injuries, he was unable to survive for long. He died after five days of being treated by masked robbers. Xin'er's situation is not much different. He was critical and unconscious for weeks, even months. However, the Physician said that the chances of his life were quite great because, within him there was still a strong determination to survive. You could say he is in a coma right now.
I don't know what made Xin'er's weak body survive in such a severe condition. But Mr. Khong believes that the girl holds a deep grudge against someone who has been hurt.
"Take care of him until he recovers! We must not allow his life to be in vain" Khong told the group's Physician, Tabib Hiun.
"Good!" sahut Tabib Hiun.
Xin'er's frail body was finally treated completely by the Healer Physician until the wounds all over her body were completely healed. After four months, Xin'er finally regained her senses and woke up feeling confused. He still remembered the times when the fateful incident had befallen him.
"Dad, brother!" hiss Xin'er with a soft voice.
Healer Hiun looked at Mr. Khong and Jihu, then smiled broadly. "He has fully recovered, Great Lord. It only takes a few days to be able to do activities as usual" said Tabib Hiun explained.
Lord Khong and Jihu nodded. "Then, for food and medicine. We have to prepare anything?" ask later.
"Please give the soup first during the recovery period, and for the medicines I have prepared all the ingredients." said Hekib Hiun again before finally saying goodbye.
The two breathed a sigh of relief after getting the answer from Physician Hiun. Now, their gazes were fixed on the girl who had been silent in confusion. "Do you still feel pain in your body?"
Xin'er immediately shook her head in response to Jihu's question. He stared intently at the two different-aged men before him. "Sorry, Sir! Where's my sister? I want to meet him," he said still in a soft voice.
Jihu and his father looked at each other before answering Xin'er's question. The two did not know what to say to this poor girl. After a long silence, Mr. Khong finally told him everything that Xiaolang had died, five days after receiving treatment. Xiaolang also left a final message to be conveyed to Xin'er through Jihu.
At the last moment of his death, Xiaolang briefly spoke to Jihu despite his distress. He said that Zhaozu and Zhaoling were the same person. Actually, Xiaolang had known Zhaozu's secret long ago when he accidentally caught Zhaoling changing clothes to the Third Prince.
At that time, Xiaolang did not immediately believe and assumed that he had seen wrongly. But to be sure, he ended up tailing Zhaoling when he returned to Zhoseng Palace. From there, Xiaolang knew that Zhaoling was really Zhaozu or the Third Prince.
Feeling lied to, Xiaolang finally rebuked and questioned Zhaozu's reason for deceiving everyone, especially Xin'er. But, Zhaozu also gave an excuse that made Xiaolang finally support the disguise. With complete trust, Xiaolang tightly locked his mouth to keep Zhaozu's secret safe and his enemy immediately arrested.
To be honest, Xiaolang did not have the heart to lie to his sister knowing from Mengshu that Xin'er loved Zhaoling more than Zhaozu. However, that fateful incident. The palace was thrown with the injury of the Empress by an intruder who was suspected to be her sister's man. Xin'er was expelled for being accused of premeditated murder and involving all the families. Eventually, they were detained and exiled to the Wind God Temple.
Xiaolang planned to tell the secret to his sister if she had arrived at the Wind God Temple. But good luck is not on their side. As it turned out, they had to be ambushed by the Forest Wolf and injured this badly, until their father sacrificed his life. What a pity Xin'er's fate. Not only did his father have to die in the Wolf's prey, his brother was not able to survive even though the group of Mr. Khong tried to save his life.
Luckily, Xiaolang was still able to speak at his last moment, and told Jihu everything to tell Xin'er.
His heart was currently deeply shattered. The person he trusted so much, could play tricks on his feelings. In the past, Xin'er once thought that she committed a great sin by loving another man besides her husband. But apparently, the man and her husband were the same person. Both deceive themselves.
Whatever the Third Prince's reason for doing that, for Xin'er to remain wrong. If her husband loved her so much, Zhaozu would have believed Xin'er and told her all her secrets. But, until a commotion broke out before the Empress was injured in her residence, Zhaozu chose to leave and still did not want to be honest with her. That reason strengthened Xin'er's hatred of Zhaozu even more deeply. With full determination, Xin'er promised to avenge all the pain Zhaozu had given her.
Seeing the girl crying in front of him, Jihu became heartless. Hugged the weak body gently, while giving a swab on his head. "Don't cry about what happened! What has passed let it pass, now you must reorganize your life and your future." he advised Xin'er.
Xin'er felt peaceful while in Jihu's arms like she was hugging her brother. It felt, his life burden was slightly reduced at this moment. "Thank you, Mister!" said polite.
"No need to be formal like that! Call me first brother, or brother Jihu can too." said the handsome man with a sweet smile. "Oh yeah, I don't know your name yet. What's your name, deck?" ask Jihu later.
Xin'er. He thought for a moment, then answered with certainty. "My name, Yoona. Sin Yoona!"
Originally, he would answer Yun Xin'er. But, with her father and brother dead, she considers Xin'er dead and returns Yoona again. Although Xin'er had died before, this body still belonged to Xin'er, and Yoona had only used it in return for her life. But now, he must resurrect Yoona to avenge them. People who love him in this life.
Jihu nodded. "Alright, Yoona. From today on, you are my sister. The Fifth Princess Great Lord Khong Guan. Now, throw all the burdens on your heart and study martial arts earnestly. Show the world that you're not the weak girl you used to be. Let everyone who tortured you first know that you are no longer a girl who is easily oppressed." Jihu said.
"Yes, brother. I will study all the knowledge you have taught me, so that I can repay this pain!" yoona said with determination.
"Finally. I can use my identity and find my true self. With my arrival, Commander Zhaoling!"
