The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 332 - 242: Please Help Me Save My Granddaughter
Ye Ying did not answer the question. Instead, he picked up Jun Ning and flew down from the rockery after seeing the Eldest Prince and the old woman leave.
The two continued to follow behind.
Ye Ying said, "Ah Ning, as always, don’t get too close."
Jun Ning nodded, "Understood."
The Eldest Prince and the old woman talked as they walked to the entrance of the mountain stronghold. Because Jun Ning and the others were quite far, they could not hear the conversation between the two.
Whether the two had a good conversation or not was unknown.
The conversation between the two suddenly became a mystery!
After sending the Eldest Prince out of the stronghold, the old woman returned by herself; she did not leave with the Eldest Prince.
Jun Ning watched the two departing in opposite directions, feeling a bit hesitant. Who to follow next? Should it be the Eldest Prince, or the old woman who knows how to break curses and is now involved with the Eldest Prince?
"Follow the old woman?" Ye Ying suggested, "I think the old woman carries more secrets, maybe we can ask her some questions."
"That makes sense!" Jun Ning agreed, "Follow the old woman!"
The two followed the old woman.
The old woman did not go anywhere else but returned to the airtight little straw hut from before.
Seeing the old woman about to enter the hut, Jun Ning hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old woman, wait!"
"Who are you? Why did you suddenly appear here?" The old woman saw Jun Ning’s unfamiliar face and was a bit wary.
At this time, Ye Ying also appeared and said to the old woman, "Grandmother, do you remember me?"
The old woman looked puzzled upon hearing Ye Ying’s words.
She looked Ye Ying up and down, her face showing a bit of conflict, as if trying to recall where she had seen Ye Ying before, but after thinking for a long time, she shook her head.
She didn’t remember Ye Ying’s face at all!
Nor could she think of where she might have seen Ye Ying before.
"Grandmother, do you really not remember me?" Ye Ying stepped forward and took the old woman’s hand: "Many years ago, I almost died from a curse, you once helped me break it!"
"Oh..." the old woman said, "But I still don’t remember you. Besides, in my life, I’ve helped break curses for many people, saved many people, I couldn’t possibly remember everyone."
This left Ye Ying feeling slightly disappointed. The person he remembered for so many years didn’t remember him at all!
But he still said, "Grandmother, it’s okay if you don’t remember me, as long as I remember you!"
"If it weren’t for you saving my life back then, I wouldn’t be here today." Ye Ying said sincerely, "Grandmother, tell me? What’s your wish? I can help you make it come true."
Ye Ying said this, because seeing the old woman so elderly, living within a brigand’s den, she must have some unspeakable hardship. So, he wanted to rescue the old woman.
Then, he would inquire about why the Eldest Prince was seeking her.
The old woman was initially very cautious of Jun Ning and Ye Ying, not intending to tell them her business. But seeing Ye Ying’s sincere gaze, truly wanting to help her fulfill her wish, and considering that she might soon...
She wavered!
She wanted to speak.
"My wish..." speaking of this, the old woman began to tear up. She said, "I have a granddaughter, who just turned ten this year, taken away by the person who came to see me just now. Despite my efforts to persuade him, he wouldn’t release her. My only wish now is for my granddaughter to come back."
"The person just now took your granddaughter?" Jun Ning asked, "Why did he take her?"
"He is using my granddaughter to coerce me into making a kind of..."
Before the old woman could finish her sentence, she was suddenly struck by an arrow from behind.
The arrow pierced through her body, taking away most of her life. She immediately couldn’t move, nor could she speak.
Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Grandmother..." Jun Ning hurriedly searched her body for medicine.
The old woman, using her last bit of strength, reached out to Ye Ying and said, "Please, please save my granddaughter, her name is... is..."
At this point, the old woman couldn’t support her body anymore and fell to the ground.
She was about to die!
But before closing her eyes, she desperately uttered two words, "Zhu Zhu!"
Her granddaughter’s name is Zhu Zhu!
"Grandmother, don’t worry, I will definitely save Zhu Zhu for you!" Ye Ying knelt on one knee, holding the old woman’s hand, promised her.
The old woman closed her eyes after hearing this promise.
She faced her death with serenity, with no trace of surprise, fear, or shock on her face... Her only concern was her granddaughter.
When Jun Ning found the medicine, it was already too late, the old woman had already passed away.
Not only had she died, but a group of people had surrounded her and Ye Ying tightly!
"Who are you? How did you break in? And what’s your relationship with the old crone?" The leader of the group surrounding Jun Ning and Ye Ying questioned.
This person was burly, dressed like a brigand, baring his chest and back, quite uncouth. His eyes were fierce and murderous.
Jun Ning surmised that this person was not just an ordinary henchman, but someone with some stature in the mountain stronghold.
Seeing that Jun Ning and the others did not answer his questions, he drew the bow that had just killed the old woman, aiming it at Jun Ning, "Are you going to talk or not? If not, be careful, I’ll kill you."
Jun Ning said, "Let’s talk this out."
"Talk, my ass. Answer my question," the burly man said, "But I have to say, you girl look quite pretty. I’ve never taken a wife, how about you become my child bride? I’ll spare you, but I’ll only kill the man beside you."
Jun Ning: "......"
Ye Ying: "You look indescribably rough, but your dreams are quite grand!"
With these words, Ye Ying grabbed Jun Ning’s hand and ran outside, holding a knife in his other hand, he cut down those blocking their path.
Jun Ning wasn’t idle either; anyone charging towards her was kicked aside with a single kick.
Before long, more and more people were lying on the ground, but they were all from the mountain stronghold.
These people of the stronghold looked numerous, and their aura was formidable, but in reality, they were not trained properly, just flowery punches with no real skill.
Seeing that Ye Ying was about to finish off the attacking people and escape with Jun Ning, the man who had just spoken suddenly released two entirely red insects towards Jun Ning and Ye Ying.
The two red insects seemed to be commanded by something, they crawled to Jun Ning and Ye Ying’s feet and bit their legs.
