The journey to the border wasn't as smooth as they thought. Moreover, time has already shown night, and these are the most dangerous times.
Just like Mr. Hong said to the Empress. In the border area, there was a group of robbers who named themselves as Blood Devils. The robber is famous for cruelty and traps that can not be avoided prey.
For some reason, the robber preferred to hunt the flesh of Man rather than the flesh of the Beast. Maybe, they have a disorder, or also .. they are indeed Monsters disguised as Humans.
I don't know!
To be sure, they are very scary.
From a distance, a boat pulled over at the Khuthang Village Pier. They soon got off the boat and hurried away, afraid of being overtaken by the royal army led by Zhaohan.
Xili's army did follow them from behind, but it could not catch up because the boat Zhaoling boarded moved faster. They were not overtaken by the royal army. Moreover, the Xili Commander let out a thick fog with his strength, in order to cover their vision.
Jihu tried to walk with Yoona's help, as the wound on his arm continued to bleed through his clothes. He kept holding back all his might so as not to make his sister anxious.
Zhaoling saw Jihu grimacing, but looking ordinary as Yoona looked at him, he felt sorry and had to do something to help Jihu. He ran first and checked the surroundings. After which, he rushed back and told them to follow him.
"There is a residential area. We can hitch a ride in the people's house for a while, so we can treat your brother's wounds!" zhaoling's proposal to Yoona while touching her shoulder.
Yoona brushed off Zhaoling's hand that landed on her shoulder violently, "don't touch me! Get rid of that hand" he said, shifting his body away from Zhaoling. Yoona looked at her husband fiercely, "don't try to get close to me!"
Looking at the Judes Yoona, Zhaoling immediately chuckled softly. He was not angry with his wife's rude behavior, because no matter how wrong he was. Zhaoling raised both of his hands while nodding.
The woman gawked and immediately helped her foster sister walk back. They immediately walked towards the countryside, because time was getting late.
Khuthang Village was a pretty safe place for them to rest tonight, but this place will also be a dangerous place if Zhaohan troops have reached this place because Jihu previously said he would go to the village.
"We must not stay here for too long, because Xili's troops will definitely be coming here soon" said one of the group members.
"Rubber. Didn't Young Master Jihu have already informed the First Prince of this matter, that we are heading towards Khuthang Village? They must have followed us here" said the others and justified everyone.
Zhaoling came forward to convey his words. "Then, where are we going tonight? We cannot travel at night, because there are many dangers lurking" Zhaoling said. "In this area there's a bunch of cold-blooded robbers predating Humans. I can't leave you in danger" he continued.
"What the Lord Commander said, that in this area there are a group of raiders of Human predation. Not only do they rob all property, they also kill the victim vilely" Jihu said, confirming Zhaoling's words. "We'd better find somewhere safe to rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll just go after the others to our destination. Father must have been waiting for us there," Jihu said again giving his opinion.
They all obeyed the words of their leader. After all, no one would want to risk dying at the hands of the Blood Devil robbers.
Zhaoling and his two shadow bodyguards walked first to lead their way to the nearby village of Khuthang. In the village there is one inn, but it is filled with people who until this afternoon and have not continued their journey back.
All the members of the Jihu group thanked Zhaoling, because the man helped many times in times of difficulty. Now, they had no more bad thoughts towards Zhaoling and agreed that the man would return to his Fifth Miss.
However, Yoona's heart could not be melted away with just such an attitude. He was already hurt and did not believe anymore in the man who had deceived him in the past. Yoona felt that Zhaoling's current attitude was a complete falsity, only to pull herself back into the man's life.
But, Zhaoling did not expect much for now. Because he understood the pain his wife felt in the past because of her actions.
Time has shown midnight. The atmosphere of the Village looked desolate, with no one wandering around anymore. They were all asleep in each other's dreamland, with a subtle snoring sounding out.
But, there is someone who is still awake in one corner of the house. It was Yoona. The woman sat in one of the windows, raising her head up, looking at the beautiful moon that was shining tonight. I don't know what the woman is thinking right now, because she looks so frustrated.
"Not slept?" A voice shocked her, so Yoona turned her head back.
The woman glared after seeing that the man who reprimanded her was Zhaoling. "It's none of your business" he said.
Zhaoling walked up to Yoona who was seen turning her face back towards Heaven. "Xin 'er. I'm really sorry" he said with regret. "You know, I was devastated when you were declared dead. My life doesn't seem to matter anymore" she said sadly. "I miss you, Xin'er!" continue then.
Yoona did not respond to Zhaoling's remark, rather she was not interested in it in the least. She did not want to be fooled back by the man who had become her husband. However, Yoona did not deny that she also missed the cold man very much. A few years apart makes Yoona aware of her love for Zhaoling, but resentment dominates her heart until the feeling is gone.
Zhaoling ventured to hold his wife's hand on his knees, "give me one more chance! I promise I'll fix everything" he said expectantly.
Seeing the look of sadness in the husband's eyes, Yoona softened a little and stretched out her hand touching Zhaoling's head. However, the shadow of the bitter memories in the Palace made him come to his senses, that the pain remained in his heart. Yoona stood up after jolting Zhaoling's body violently. "Never!" sternly turning away.
Zhaoling was stunned to hear his wife's words just now. He realized that his mistake was so great towards Yoona. Therefore, he was not angry as Yoona continued to be rude to him. Zhaoling smiled mirically finding himself who could not dwell in front of the woman he loved.
"Do you hate me?" asked Zhaoling without looking.
"Very," said Yoona briefly.
Zhaoling bowed lethargic. "Do you want me to leave you forever?" ask again with his position.
"Sure! I really want you to get away from my life. I hate you so much that I don't want to see you again" Yoona jolted in frustration. In fact, his face looked red with emotion.
Zhaoling is getting bowed. He was silent for a moment, then stood up and faced Yoona with a sad look. "I promise, after ensuring your safety to the safest place, then I'll be gone for good." Zhaoling's words instantly stunned Yoona. "Xin 'er. I just want you to remember that I will love you forever. Nothing can replace your position in my heart, whoever it is!" zhaoling again.
After saying what she wanted to say, Zhaoling stepped out of the place where Yoona was. Yoona's heart ached after hearing those words from Zhaoling's mouth. Not feeling, his tears just poured out to see Zhaoling who left without looking back. Wasn't he the one who asked Zhaoling to leave? So why is he crying now?
