Chapter 100: Chapter 11: The Princess Who Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 11)

Jiang Ling also glanced back, immediately becoming grim-faced.

"This sound doesn’t come from just one tiger!"

Murong Dun dared not slow down, whipping the horse swiftly.

"Just run fast!"

Not long ago, he had personally seen that fierce tiger directly kill a person, the blood splattering, giving him a chance to escape. He thought the giant tiger would stop to eat, but after killing the person and horse, it chased after them again.

As if something had provoked it.

Murong Dun guessed that perhaps something Luoyang used attracted these ferocious beasts.

One tiger was bad enough, but with all the animals in the forest agitated, even beasts that shouldn’t appear in the mountains joined in.

Now was not the time to investigate the reason.

Murong Dun saw that Jiang Lai was protected by Jiang Ling, so he focused on galloping ahead.

Seeing the forest thinning ahead, and the light growing brighter, the horse reared up just as it was about to clear the forest, throwing both Murong Dun and Luoyang to the ground.

Jiang Ling, seeing this, quickly pulled the reins tightly, grabbing Jiang Lai, and rolled off the back of the frightened and agitated horse.

Jiang Lai landed hard, twisting her elbow, and lay on Jiang Ling for quite some time before finally being pushed off by Jiang Ling, who got up first.

Jiang Lai cursed as she used a tree to stand up, her foot slipping suddenly, and instinctively grabbed Jiang Ling beside her with her sprained hand. The sharp pain sent cold sweat all over her body, and Jiang Ling stood there indifferently watching.

Jiang Lai couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. After stabilizing herself, she looked down and felt dizzy for a moment.

Below was a dense forest so thick its depth could not be seen, with mist swirling at the treetops. Cliffs and jagged rocks surrounded them. If she had slipped down just now, she might have been smashed to pieces.

"Sanlang."

Luoyang grabbed Murong Dun’s sleeve, her face pale beneath her mask.

Murong Dun instinctively held her hand, their actions as intimate as lovers who had long been deeply in love.

Jiang Lai felt no strong emotions watching this, but her face was very expressive, first angry, then hurt. Her slightly reddened eyes were noticed by Jiang Ling. The man chuckled disdainfully and shouted loudly.

"Brother-in-law, you’re holding the wrong hand, my sister is right here."

Murong Dun, belatedly realizing it, hurriedly released Luoyang’s hand and looked nervously and guiltily towards Jiang Lai. Unfortunately, Jiang Lai wouldn’t look at him, hanging her head despondently, making him even more helpless.

"Jiang Lai..."

His voice was drowned out by the roar of a beast.

This time, Jiang Lai couldn’t continue her act.

She looked at Luoyang, instinctively leaning closer to her, figuring that staying near the protagonist was probably safe.

In the original plot, Jiang Lai didn’t go hunting; she only knew the hunting grounds had agitated beasts causing injuries and deaths, and though Murong Dun was severely injured, he was ultimately saved.

Thinking that he was with Luoyang at the time, and with Jiang Ling present, the current male and eventual male leads were together with the female lead in danger, Jiang Lai decided it was best to cling to Jiang Ling, who seemed stronger.

So she clutched Jiang Ling’s belt tightly.

"Don’t be afraid, little brother, big sister will protect you!"

"..."

No sooner had she spoken than a tiger, roughly over five meters long, emerged slowly from the forest in front of them. Its thick tail and limbs appeared as thick as an adult’s thighs, standing as tall as Jiang Lai.

"You call this a tiger?"

Little Buding couldn’t comprehend this world’s strange creatures, and only dryly explained.

"In ancient times, there was no pollution, and there were people at the hunting ground who fed the animals well. It’s not unusual for them to grow a bit larger than normal tigers."

"Shut up."

The foolish program failed at a critical moment; had it informed her earlier of such creatures in the forest, she wouldn’t have ended up in this predicament.

"Little brother, you’re so capable, surely you can handle a mere tiger, right?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Sister, do you know how I’ve survived on the battlefield for so long?"

"Hmm?"

"Because I run whenever I can’t win."

"..."

With that, Jiang Ling unhesitatingly leapt off the cliff, taking Jiang Lai with him, who was holding onto his belt.

The rushing wind and the fading roar of the tiger whisked past Jiang Lai’s ears.

When her body struck something hard yet somewhat elastic, Jiang Lai felt her organs shift, her vision darkened, and she passed out.

——

"Sister? Sister, wake up!"

Jiang Lai struggled to open her eyes, seeing a chiseled handsome face above. His gaze was deep and dark, with a hint of panic in his expression.

Jiang Lai slowly exhaled and fully woke up, noticing Jiang Ling’s blood-streaked face, and said in a low voice.

"Stop shouting, your blood dripped into my mouth."

Jiang Lai wiped her mouth and struggled to sit up, looking around to find herself lying beside a deep pool, its water deep and clear, exuding a chill. Her clothing, already tattered from branches and rocks, was now wet and cold.

On the other side of the pool lay two people. Luoyang was lying on Murong Dun, seemingly unscathed, with her mask intact, while Murong Dun was covered in blood, his life uncertain.

"Husband..."

Jiang Lai fully embraced the slave-like demeanor towards her husband, disregarding the graceful young lady pressed against her husband and struggled forward to check his condition.

Murong Dun was severely injured, all his bones broken, especially his right ankle, which was severely deformed with bones protruding, making it unbearable to look at, clearly useless now.

"Ah, he’s ruined, ruined."

"Jiang Lai, have you forgotten you have a skill called Miracle Recovery?"

Jiang Lai frowned and smacked her leg.

"Oh right, I forgot."

"Jiang Lai, if you’re not using your brain, you might as well donate it to a hungry stray dog on the roadside."

"In the original plot, Murong Dun wasn’t hurt this badly."

"Of course not, it was Jiang Ling who fell holding Luoyang before, and Murong Dun was caught on a tree, saving him from any serious harm. Now he’s protecting Luoyang, and only due to protagonist’s luck."

Jiang Lai nodded, somewhat thoughtful about his broken leg.

She then turned to Jiang Ling, ignoring Murong Dun behind her.

"What are you doing? If you don’t save him, he will be ruined."

"As long as he’s not dead, there’s nothing serious."

As long as it doesn’t interfere with her mission.

Saying this, Jiang Lai walked over to Jiang Ling, slowly squatted down, and examined his injuries.
