Chapter 505 (1/2)

Life Or Death (1)

“Wait. Tell me, how did we lose my men too? I’m sure it’s more complicated than just because of the trees.” Zhao Yarou looked at Ye Lang, hoping to get an answer from his eyes.

She now speculated that all of this was arranged by Ye Lang so she would be alone. Then he could hurt her!

“It might be because…. We ran too fast!” said Ye Lang.

Zhao Yarou felt like Ye Lang was hiding something from her. He knew something but was not telling her the whole truth. “Speak up! Are you plotting to kill me? If you are, I dare you!” Zhao Yarou glared at him coldly. She’d mistaken him for an assassin.

“What?! Mr Fox, you want to kill Her Majesty?” Li Yue looked at him frantically.

If Ye Lang was here to kill Zhao Yarou, that meant everything he’d previously said was fake. He was never here for her, he was here for Zhao Yarou.

“No! I’m not here to kill her this time!” he shook his head, denying their speculations but implying that he could come back to kill her the next time.

“Then why are you here? If you’re not here for me, you mean you’re here for her?” Zhao Yarou looked at him.

“Yep! I’m here for Li Yue, I’m trying to date her!”

“You’re pursuing her?” Zhao Yarou furrowed her brows.

“Yep!”

“If that’s the case, why did you drag me into this? You two can go on your date on your own!” Zhao Yarou was starting to rage but stopped immediately after Ye Lang’s next line.

“No one dragged you into this, you just HAD to follow us so shamelessly!” rebutted Ye Lang very honestly.

“Uh…” Zhao Yarou was speechless for a moment. “Well, even if you’re pursuing her, you still didn’t have to do it like this, trapping yourself in a place like this.”

“I didn’t, I didn’t do this. This is a natural…” Ye Lang paused. “I think it is fate!”

Just as what Ye Lang said, it might just be fate. Ye Lang was currently within a natural Qimen formation’s region of influence. And this region was unfathomably huge.

The miracle of natural Qimen formations were an interesting occurence. They weren’t very rare either, many places had them. Not just in this universe, on planet Earth too. The formations often created secret spaces that only became myths and legends as time passed.

Ye Lang finally understood why so many people disappeared in the legends. This was very normal because it was very much possible to get lost once you stepped into this region.

Usually, the magical nature of the region would escort humans out, back to where they came from. However, if these people forced themselves to go deeper, or coincidentally trekked deeper, then they might get trapped inside.

In reality, it was not a complicated trap. Ye Lang would be able to crack it in 2 seconds but he hadn’t noticed its presence until they were deep in it.

He couldn’t tell anyone either, especially not when he was Fox Ford.

That was why Ye Lang had to hide the truth, and how Zhao Yarou misunderstood his intentions. She thought he was the one who made this happen, even suspecting that he was here to kill her.

It’s not her fault either. As a person in her position, such matters were a constant worry every day. She often wondered if it was a kind of punishment.

“Fate… Then what now?” she said slowly.
