Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

444. Don’t Worry, He’s Fine (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Long Xiaoyuan finally took an indifferent glance at King of Three. “What? Do you want to tell now?”

“It’s not a secret at all. It does no harm to tell you. He had to pay the price to save her. She has been unconscious for too long, so her own heart doesn’t function anymore. She needs a compatible heart of a living person, and her father’s heart is the best choice.”

Long Xiaoyuan’s eyes sharpened.

“So, he left his daughter to you like this? Wasn’t he worried?”

“He was not worried. What was he worried about?” King of Three smiled. “Will I treat her badly?”

Long Xiaoyuan suddenly felt Wu Ronghan, who would never have thought that he would end up like this.

Wu Ronghan was willing to trade his own life for his daughter’s, but would he leave his daughter to such a demon?

Perhaps he had no other choice in the end.

This was the ending of asking a tiger for its skin.

Some people could be partners, while some people would be a disaster to cooperate with.

Long Xiaoyuan stopped talking. King of Three said complacently.

“Wu Xiangyuan, come over here.”

That was right. This little girl was the real Wu Xiangyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan saw the little girl slowly walked towards King of Three.

She looked obedient.

Long Xiaoyuan looked at the little girl and couldn’t help saying, “Do you think you have cured her? What’s that on her face?”

“Oh, this.” King of Three touched the little girl’s cheek indifferently, as if he was proud of it.

Long Xiaoyuan felt disgusted.

“Can’t you completely cure her?” asked Long Xiaoyuan.

The Third King touched the little girl’s head. “It’s possible to cure it. Skin grafts are needed.”

Long Xiaoyuan was surprised. “Skin grafts?”

“Yes.” A dagger suddenly appeared in the King of Three’s hand. He waved the dagger at Long Xiaoyuan. “Like this. Put your skin on her, and this is called skin grafts. Her skin had been damaged by the coldness. She has been lying in the ice coffin for too long, and there was no other way.”

Long Xiaoyuan shut his eyes tight.

King of Three continued, “Your Majesty, you seem to be very kind. If you sympathize with this child, you can give her your own skin. I believe she will definitely appreciate your help.”

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t bother to reply.

King of Three sneered. “You sound so noble, but you would not sacrifice yourself for such a poor little girl. Your Majesty, this is how you treat your people as the Emperor?”

Long Xiaoyuan looked at King of Three the way he looked at an idiot.

“King of Three, you have a heart for the world. This is a small life that your partner traded with his own life. If you are nice to your subordinate, use your own skin.”

King of Three’s eyes darkened.

Long Xiaoyuan ignored him and started to wander around in the valley.

The valley wasn’t big, and he could see the end at a glance. There were two cottages and a stream.

Long Xiaoyuan squinted and walked towards the stream.

King of Three’s eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to do something, a man in black suddenly leapt down quietly from above.

He whispered something in the ear of King of Three, who took a cold glance at Long Xiaoyuan and left in another direction.

Although Long Xiaoyuan was far away from King of Three, he had been paying attention to him from the corner of his eye.

Therefore, he saw the direction in which King of Three left.

Long Xiaoyuan’s eyes flashed and he remembered the direction.

After walking around the stream, Long Xiaoyuan went to the cottages.

Only these two cottages could accommodate people. As a prisoner, Long Xiaoyuan went to see the place he was going to stay.

When Long Xiaoyuan went to the cottages, the little girl followed him like a ghost.

Long Xiaoyuan got to one of the cottages and pushed open the door. It was simply furnished, but it was spacious.

Long Xiaoyuan was tired. Most importantly, his wounds weren’t healed at all. He felt a faint pain in his chest as he walked.

The pills given by Liu Suifeng were taken away, so he couldn’t cure himself.

With a sigh, Long Xiaoyuan lay down on the bed in the cottage and straightened his legs. He felt much better.

The little girl walked in like a ghost and stood straight in front of Long Xiaoyuan’s bed.

Long Xiaoyuan paused and said. “I won’t escape. You can find a place to sit or rest.”

The little girl didn’t respond.

Long Xiaoyuan sighed and ignored her, closing his eyes.

By the time Long Xiaoyuan opened his eyes again, it was already late at night.

He rubbed his stomach. He was awakened by his hunger.

As he was thinking whether those people were going to starve him to death, he saw a bowl of rice on the bedside table.

There was a chicken drumstick in the bowl as well as some vegetables.

Besides, there was a jar of tea.

Long Xiaoyuan blinked, thinking his treatment as a hostage was not bad.

He touched the bowl. It wasn’t cold but warm.

Long Xiaoyuan was a little surprised, but he couldn’t think too much.

He would not starve himself.

Was he afraid of being poisoned?

As a hostage, he had to eat. Otherwise, he would be starved to death.

Instead of worrying about being poisoned, he might as well think about how to preserve his physical strength.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan ate the meal without hesitation.

After he was through, Long Xiaoyuan felt much better.

At least, his stomach was not aching.

Long Xiaoyuan thought for a while and decided to go out for a walk. Maybe he could find an opportunity to escape?

With that thought, Long Xiaoyuan went out.

However, the moment he opened the door, the little girl appeared like a ghost.

She was quick and appeared too suddenly. Long Xiaoyuan was shocked.

Long Xiaoyuan patted his chest and said, “Wu Xiangyuan? Don’t you sleep?”

The little girl didn’t say anything, staring at Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan asked tentatively, “I slept too much just now. I want to go out and take a walk, okay?”

The little girl kept silent, staring at Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan forced a smile and said, “If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your consent. If you want to follow, you can follow.”

After he spoke, Long Xiaoyuan walked outside.

The little girl followed him closely.

Long Xiaoyuan was relieved that the little girl just followed him without stopping him.

The valley at night was dark. Although the moon was in the sky, it didn’t shine on the valley.

Long Xiaoyuan could hardly tell the direction.

He walked in the direction where King of Three disappeared.

Long Xiaoyuan slowly fumbled there, but before he could explore the place, a man in black appeared silently.

“Please go back.” The man in black spoke flatly with a strong voice. Long Xiaoyuan could clearly feel the man was much powerful than him.

He knew that King of Three couldn’t just let a little girl watch over him.

Knowing that he couldn’t get anything today, Long Xiaoyuan didn’t argue and turned to leave.

The little girl followed him closely without leaving him at all.

At the same time, Shi Qingzhou and Liu Suifeng started to feel impatient as they couldn’t find Long Xiaoyuan.

Especially Shi Qingzhou, his face was getting colder every day.

That night, Liu Suifeng rested at an inn.

He couldn’t sleep at all.

But he had to force himself to sleep. Otherwise, he would collapse under huge pressure.

In that case, it didn’t help him find Long Xiaoyuan at all.

This night, Liu Suifeng forced himself to fall asleep. In the middle of the night, he seemed to feel something and suddenly opened his eyes.

A figure flashed past the window, and Liu Suifeng leapt out and chased after him.

The black figure ahead of him was very fast, but he looked so familiar!

Liu Suifeng’s heart trembled.

“Ouyang! I know it’s you! Halt! ”

Liu Suifeng roared.

The figure paused, but soon he went faster.

Liu Suifeng took a deep breath and sped up.

As he chased, Liu Suifeng didn’t stop talking.

“Ouyang, I don’t believe that you forgot about me. You’ve come. This is the truth! No matter what kind of difficulties you are in, Let’s face it together, okay? Do you know that I’m worried about you?”

“Ouyang, stop and we have a good talk, okay?”

“Ouyang, please. Stop!”

No matter what Liu Suifeng said, Ouyang Chuan wouldn’t stop.

In the end, Liu Suifeng had to shut up and sped up.

He chased Ouyang Chuan to a weedy place.

Suddenly, Liu Suifeng lost track of Ouyang Chuan.

Liu Suifeng frowned. He didn’t call Ouyang Chuan anymore, but he searched carefully around him.

However, after an hour, Liu Suifeng couldn’t find Ouyang Chuan.

Did he disappear just like that?

Liu Suifeng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be... Ouyang deliberately lured him here?

Long Xiaoyuan! Long Xiaoyuan was probably here!

Liu Suifeng took a deep breath and left his place. He found a place to hide and then fired the signal.

Soon, Shi Qingzhou arrived with the Shadow Guardians.

Looking at Shi Qingzhou’s gloomy face, Liu Suifeng quickly explained what had happened.

Shi Qingzhou’s eyes flashed slightly. “Are you sure that is Ouyang Chuan?”

“I’m sure.” Liu Suifeng said with certainty.

He could identify the one he loved.

If he couldn’t be sure about this, what kind of lover was he?

Shi Qingzhou didn’t say anything else and ordered the Shadow Guardians to search carefully.

At the same time, Shi Qingzhou also asked another Shadow Guardian to call Qiu Ming’s army here.

Gradually, it got bright.

The army and the Shadow Guardians have been searching from late at night, but they found nothing.

Shi Qingzhou had ordered them to focus on the ground.

This was how it was when they were in the bamboo woods. The devices were on the ground

This time, even if they had to dig deep, they had to find the devices.

Just as everyone was busy searching for it, they heard the sound of arrows shooting.

The arrow was aimed directly at Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou had high martial arts. Although the arrow looks powerful with internal power, he did not take it seriously.
