The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 315: Could It Be the Power of Lan Xihe’s Blood
Lan Xihe now had nothing in her hands, yet she continued to tightly shield Jun Ning, vowing to protect Jun Ning to the death, even without any means of defense, even if it meant being torn apart by lions.
As long as she had one last breath, she would protect Jun Ning.
Jun Ning didn’t want Lan Xihe to use her own body to protect her; she wanted to push Lan Xihe aside, so she could take up the dagger herself.
She still had a dagger and could hold on for a while.
But...
Lan Xihe couldn’t possibly let herself be pushed aside; she gritted her teeth and fiercely protected Jun Ning.
After trying to push a few times and realizing she couldn’t, Jun Ning thought about calling a few assassins nearby to help. The more people, the greater the strength.
She shouted, "Quick, someone come over here and help."
But after a long time, no one came.
Because those assassins were also confronting lions, their situation was no better than Lan Xihe’s. They were barely taking care of themselves, their lives hanging by a thread, so they had no time to care about Lan Xihe and Jun Ning.
Jun Ning and Lan Xihe were left to their own devices.
Once more, a lion opened its gaping maw toward Lan Xihe, aiming for her head again. To prevent her head from being bitten, Lan Xihe extended her arm to block.
The lion’s fangs bit into her arm, causing her to bite her lower lip until it bled, the taste of blood filling her mouth.
"Ah..." she screamed, looking despairingly at the lion biting her arm.
Just when she thought this lion wasn’t just going to bite her but would bite off her arm and then kill her, the lion inexplicably released her arm.
It even looked at Lan Xihe with a few hints of embarrassment in its previously fierce eyes.
Like a child who had committed a grave mistake, it suddenly crouched in front of Lan Xihe, rubbing its head against her leg, seemingly apologizing for biting her.
Lan Xihe couldn’t even pay attention to the pain in her arm, looking bewilderedly at the lion nuzzling her leg.
Jun Ning was originally holding high a dagger, intending to stab the lion’s head to save Lan Xihe. But seeing the lion’s reaction, her hand holding the dagger suddenly froze in mid-air, neither stabbing down nor retracting.
The lion continued to lie at Lan Xihe’s feet, gently rubbing its mane against her leg, its actions tender and gentle.
Lan Xihe was also stunned. What on earth was going on?
Weren’t they going to bite them to death?
Why had they suddenly stopped biting?
With this kind of behavior?
Not just that, the lion by Lan Xihe’s feet suddenly roared, and all the lions’ attacks on Jun Ning’s group halted, not moving.
The lions gathered around the one beside Lan Xihe, exchanging calls as if communicating, but Jun Ning and others couldn’t understand what they were saying. All they could tell was that the lions’ attitude toward Lan Xihe had changed.
A complete reversal!
From wanting to kill them to respectfully treating them.
What had happened in between?
"Sister Xi He, what did you do to them?" Jun Ning asked, "Did you feed them something that made them act like this? Otherwise, why didn’t they kill us and seemed to be apologizing for their previous rudeness."
Lan Xihe shook her head, "No, I did nothing."
’What’s going on then?’ Jun Ning muttered, her gaze settling on Lan Xihe’s arm, which bore the lion’s bite.
Lan Xihe had been bitten by a lion, and given the lion’s powerful jaws, biting off an arm should have been easy. But Lan Xihe’s arm was actually okay, though injured, but not severely, just bleeding.
It seemed after biting Lan Xihe, these lions’ attitudes had changed.
Could it be—
Could it be Lan Xihe’s blood that changed their attitudes?
Jun Ning pondered.
But after thinking for a while, she felt it was unlikely.
Who could have blood that made a pack of wild beasts submit?
She had never heard of such a thing.
"Since they are no longer attacking us, we should leave this place quickly." The lions’ sudden change in demeanor might not last, and Jun Ning thought it best to take the opportunity to leave.
Jun Ning helped Lan Xihe up from the ground, ignoring the big lion trying to ingratiate itself at her feet, and rushed to leave the Black Forest with her.
After leaving, they took two days to rest at a local inn, treating their wounds, then used a wooden kite to travel across the Black Forest.
Lan Xihe was amazed when she first saw a wooden kite, "Is it true? Can this thing really carry us to fly?"
"Of course it can," Jun Ning replied, "When I came to ask for medicine for the Emperor before, the Crown Prince and Uncle Qi used a wooden kite to fly me over the Black Forest. This thing is really useful."
Mentioning Qi Qin, Jun Ning couldn’t help but feel a tug of sadness but didn’t show it outwardly.
"I can’t do it, I’m still afraid! Afraid of falling, if we fall, we’re surely doomed, and even if we survive, we’ll be eaten by the beasts in the Black Forest."
"Sister Xi He, you saw, those beasts are not just ordinary vicious, they’re terribly ferocious, terrifying."
Lan Xihe was initially hesitant to use it, truly scared.
It’s not the fear of dying; she seemed to have a fear of heights.
She had never flown before, nor had she seen anyone fly, nor dared to imagine someone flying in the sky.
"Who exactly created the wooden kite? Truly talented, not just talented, but extremely brave." Lan Xihe couldn’t help but marvel, "The person who invented this is a clever one."
Jun Ning laughed, "Indeed they are!"
"But if this device is massively used in warfare, it would definitely cause a devastating blow to the side without it, so the person who invented it must not be spared, and must not help make it in large quantities for others."
Jun Ning: "......"
Well, that person is her!
Must she kill herself too?
"If I ever meet the person who invented the wooden kite, I would surely kill them to prevent future troubles," Lan Xihe declared, clenching her fist.
