Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess

Chapter 249 - 150 Flower Fairy_2

Chapter 249: Chapter 150 Flower Fairy_2Yelü Miaomiao’s vision blurred as she saw Jiang Shouzhong’s figure flash by her like an arrow released from its bow, and in an instant, he reached the cave entrance.

In that moment, a sense of fear of abandonment welled up from the depths of the girl’s heart.

Was he going to leave me behind?

This thought pierced her heart like ice, filling her with despair on top of her exhaustion.

The pearl of the prairie, pampered by everyone on normal days, felt incredibly distraught at this moment.

Tears welled up in her eyes, not out of resentment towards Jiang Shouzhong, because she knew that his split-second decision had nothing to do with emotions, but was driven solely by the instinct to survive.

She didn’t blame him.

In the face of death, everyone is selfish.

But in some corner of the girl’s heart, a wave of uncontrollable sadness surged forth. Tears gathered in her eyes, forming mournful pearls, and her vision gradually became hazy and unclear.

Just as the girl was lost in her confusion, the man’s cursing voice echoed through the narrow space, "Damn it, can’t you move any faster? I can hardly hold on any longer!"

Yelü Miaomiao was startled and, through her blurred vision, barely made out the man standing at the entrance of the cave, seemingly using all his strength to prop up the closing stone walls, trying to buy her more time to escape.

The life force of the Taoist Body converged on Jiang Shouzhong’s arms like a tide, the man exerting all his power, using his elbows to stubbornly resist the moving stone walls, causing a momentary stagnation.

Yelü Miaomiao clenched her teeth and hastened her steps.

Almost instinctively, she threw herself forward, and amidst the stumbling, she crashed into Jiang Shouzhong’s arms, and both of their bodies were ejected from the secret tunnel, falling heavily onto the ground outside.

"Cough cough cough..."

Jiang Shouzhong coughed from the impact on his chest.

But that crushing fear reached its release at this moment. The sensation of having survived a calamity infused Jiang Shouzhong with an indescribable sense of relief, as he greedily breathed in the fresh air.

The unsettled Yelü Miaomiao, now like a battered flower in the wind, lay exhausted on top of Jiang Shouzhong.

Even though her body was covered with scrapes and bruises, compared to the despair of nearly being crushed by the stone walls, these injuries seemed trivial.

As they caught their breath, their gazes met.

Yelü Miaomiao’s eyes instinctively dodged his, and biting her thin lips, but forgetting to get up from his body, she asked softly, "Why... why did you save me?"

"What? You mean to say I shouldn’t have saved you?"

Jiang Shouzhong said irritably, "If not, why don’t you go back in and see if I’ll save you."

If this had happened earlier, Yelü Miaomiao would surely have retorted, but at this moment, she was unusually calm, realizing she was still lying on him, the girl quickly got up.

She dusted off her clothes, yet couldn’t help but look back, concern shining sincerely in her eyes: "Are you okay?"

"I won’t die."

Jiang Shouzhong moved his arms, the pain still present.

Bearing the pain, he got up and looked around, only to find that they were still in a cave; the only difference was that this place didn’t have those frightening peonies, and it was empty all around.

On the stone walls, there were some sort of luminescent powders that emitted a faint glow.

After

Damn it, it seems I’m not cut out for telling jokes.

The man coughed twice and sheepishly said, "That... It wasn’t very funny, huh."

Perhaps feeling like she let him down with her reaction, the young girl felt a bit apologetic. Although she didn’t understand the punchline, she still forced a smile, "Heh heh," a couple of times.

But feeling those chuckles were too sarcastic, the young girl then "haha" chuckled twice more.

Jiang Shouzhong was helpless.

Even ghosts laugh more sincerely than you.

Just then, he unintentionally discovered that the bell on Yelü Miaomiao’s ankle was emitting a faint glow.

Jiang Shouzhong was taken aback and pointed at the bell, "It’s glowing again."

Yelü Miaomiao looked down in surprise as well.

She subconsciously picked up the bell, intending to take a closer look, but then a dragonfly... no, a tiny person with wings flew out from it.

This tiny person was only the size of a palm, with a beautiful appearance and a pair of wings behind.

It was a magical Flower Fairy.

Of course, this demon shouldn’t and couldn’t be... (The seasoned readers know what the author is implying)
