Chapter 62 – Falling into the valley The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)

Slowly, Qin Yuyuan turned to look at what she had gripped. The black ‘tombstone’ had turned its head.

It had bloodshot eyes. The sight of it made her trembled and made the hair on the back of her neck stood at end…….

“Ahh!!!” Qin Yuyuan screamed and quickly retracted her hand. She was filled with terror. She staggered backwards then turned to run………

All the black ‘tombstones’ had been awakened. Their black bodies flapped their wings and rapidly chased after her…….

Beside the stream, Murong Xue had just finished her share of grilled fish and sour milk. She was about to spread her mat to sleep when a distressed shout for help was heard, “Help me…help me!!!”

Murong Xue turned her head to see Qin Yuyuan running panickily. Behind her, creatures with tall ears, short feet and enormous wings covered the entire sky like a black cloud, blocking out the stars……

“Those are….bats!” Wu Heng exclaimed.

Wu Heng widened his eyes with shock. He knew they loved to live in groups but there were so many of them………

“Why are their eyes red?” Xun Feng asked.

He had seen many bats. But their eyes had all been black.

“They are vampire bats! Run!” Murong Xue’s face became pale. She grabbed OuYang Shaoshen who was beside her and ran. Vampire bats were fierce in nature and blood was their food source. It was impossible to fight a sky full of them………

Xun Feng and Wu Heng quickly followed.

The guards from Qing Yan all turned to look at Ye Yichen, their faces anxious, “Prince Jing!”. The bats were approaching and they could feel their evil aura, if they didn’t start running soon it would be too late.

“Let’s go!” Ye Yichen calmly said. He sprinted towards Qin Yuyuan, grabbed her wrist and started running.

Murong Xue raced ahead. She caught a glimpse of Ye Yichen and Qin Yuyuan behind her.

Coldly she said, “Qin Yuyuan, how did you provoke them?”

“I have no idea. I came back from strolling around and saw them behind me….” Qin Yuyuan lied, her eyes swept nervously from side to side: She had just wanted to help Yichen..She wanted to know if that cave was the place they had been searching for. Little did she know the black ‘tombstone’ turned out to be disgusting blood sucking bats. It wasn’t intentional, she couldn’t be blamed, she couldn’t be blamed …

“Princess Qin, even though vampire bats suck blood to live, they would never initiate an attack unless you breached their territory. When that happens, they will chase you endlessly…” Murong Xue coldly threw that fact wide in the open.

Qin Yuyuan’s small face turned pale, her eyes were wild with fear. She didn’t know what to argue back….

Xun Feng and Wu Heng were expressionless: They had already been troubled by the people from Qing Yan once, it wasn’t surprising that they were doing it again…..

The guards from Qing Yan frowned: They could’ve rested well tonight but now they were being chased by a flock of vampire bats. The question of keeping themselves alive was doubtful. Resting obviously was out of the question.Qin Yuyuan was a troublemaker, a terrible ‘high and mighty princess’ who always seems to drag them back….

Ye Yichen’s face remained stoned-cold. His eyes were tilting below, unreadable.
