Lost (1)

"All you need to do is coat the chicken with mud. If His Majesty is worried about it getting dirty, you can wrap the chicken in lotus leaves," Li Yue said. This was what Ye Lang had taught her.

"Where's the chicken?" After everything was said, Zhao Yarou realized that there was no chicken as the main ingredient, so she looked at Ye Lang, who seemed to have said that he would provide it.

At this moment, Ye Lang said something that made everyone want to kill him.

"Go fight him yourself!"

"..."

"Didn't you just say you could give me a chicken?" Zhao Yarou asked.

"That was just now, and now is now!" Ye Lang replied. If he had known it was you, he definitely wouldn't have told you.

"Fine, you win! Go get me a chicken." Zhao Yarou seemed to be in a good mood today, even tolerating Ye Lang's rudeness.

At this moment, almost everyone was surprised by this: why was the Empress in such a good mood today? How could she let this kid be so arrogant?

However, when people looked at Ye Lang, it was as if they were looking at a dead man, because they felt that Ye Lang was bound to die!

The Empress is in a good mood now, that's true, but when she's in a bad mood, that's when she starts to lose her temper. And she's generally not in a good mood; she might turn on you any day, maybe tomorrow, or even today.

Then, this kid will be going to meet King of the Underworld!

However, the most important thing now is to catch a chicken, otherwise I'll be going to meet King of the Underworld too...

"It tastes good. Who came up with this method?" Zhao Yarou thought the beggar's chicken tasted alright after finishing it, with a unique flavor.

This beggar's chicken was indeed made by Zhao Yarou herself. Her enthusiasm today was truly extraordinary. Looking at her fair little hands mixing with the mud, everyone was filled with mixed emotions.

After Zhao Yarou finished eating the chicken, Ye Lang said rather rudely, "Since you've finished eating, let's call it a day. Goodbye, Your Majesty. Also, could you please put out the fire? Li Yue, let's continue..."

Zhao Yarou was stunned for a moment. Before she could say anything, she saw Ye Lang pick up Li Yue. Knowing Li Yue as she did, she knew that she wouldn't be easily held by anyone, especially a man.

"?! Lieutenant Li Yue, are you really that weak?" Zhao Yarou asked. Judging from Li Yue's condition, she could see that he was weak and could not sense that the two had a close relationship.

"Yes, it will be fine in a few days!" Li Yue nodded, her face slightly flushed with embarrassment. She hadn't expected Ye Lang to pick her up in front of everyone.

At that time, I seemed to have gotten used to it and did not resist. So what followed was even more obvious, and I could only silently accept it!

Chapter Eight: Separation

Ye Lang quickly placed Li Yue on the horse's back, then pulled on the reins and walked slowly forward through the beautiful mountains.

When Zhao Yarou saw this scene, she actually found it beautiful. Li Yue's weakness made the scene even more beautiful, and made people a little envious of her being taken care of.

This feeling wasn't unique to Zhao Yarou; the others behind her shared the same sentiment, feeling a subtle yet profound shock at the scene.

Yes, it's subtle, small, but how many small things in life can truly touch our hearts? Even the smallest things are still precious.

"You've taken good care of her. Do you like her?" Zhao Yarou asked Ye Lang. At this moment, she was walking side by side with Ye Lang, which felt very natural.

"What's it to you? What are you doing following us?" Ye Lang didn't answer Zhao Yarou, but frowned, seemingly annoyed that Zhao Yarou was following him.

"Whoever is following you is just going the same way," Zhao Yarou said coldly.

"Oh, then you go first!" Ye Lang stopped and let Zhao Yarou go first.

"You... I want to rest now..." Zhao Yarou said coldly, but when she first said "you," she had a lot of anger about her.

That's murderous intent, absolutely murderous intent! This kid's dead!

However, why was Empress Majesty able to suppress this murderous intent? She had never done so before.

"So, you're saying you're sticking with me?" Ye Lang asked calmly, ignoring the murderous aura.

"Yes! This world is mine. In my world, I can follow you if I want, and it's none of your business!" Zhao Yarou said to Ye Lang, and there seemed to be something else in her eyes, something indescribable.

"I can't be bothered with you!" Ye Lang said, ignoring him.

Strange, why does this sound familiar...?

Ye Lang continued walking forward, and Zhao Yarou followed him. She seemed to be determined to fight Ye Lang, and her behavior made Li Yue and the others both scared and confused.

Among those present, Ye Lang was probably the only one who didn't have any feelings for Zhao Yarou!

The group moved forward in silence, getting closer and closer to a mysterious place in the mountains. It was a place rarely visited, and legend had it that many who went there had disappeared.

Ye Lang and the others were not going to that place, at least Ye Lang was not going there. The mistake they made was letting Ye Lang lead the way. Based on Ye Lang's past records, he would easily get lost.

This was probably something no one expected. Ye Lang originally took Li Yue with him, and Li Yue didn't care. Zhao Yarou followed Ye Lang, and the others followed Zhao Yarou. In this way, a group of people got lost following Ye Lang.

This group of people is probably the most peculiar combination. It's a combination that no one could have imagined. Everyone thought they wouldn't end up together, but fate brought them together anyway.

Ye Lang's encounter with Zhao Yarou was a coincidence, an absolute coincidence. Zhao Yarou was just wandering around inside, hunting a bit, and heading back when she unexpectedly bumped into Ye Lang.

Perhaps influenced by her mood after playing the game these past few days, she actually followed Ye Lang...

"Damn it, a rabbit!" Ye Lang suddenly shouted, breaking the silence of the journey.

"What's so great about a rabbit making a fuss!" Zhao Yarou sneered.

"Take a look at that rabbit first..." Ye Lang pointed in a direction, drawing everyone's attention.

"Holy crap! This... a rabbit!!"

Almost everyone echoed Ye Lang's cry, their faces showing a hint of surprise.

Everyone has seen a white rabbit, but no one has ever seen a white rabbit that is dozens of times larger. The one that is now in front of Ye Lang is this one, and this white rabbit even has a fierce look in its eyes and shows a row of sharp teeth.

"This isn't a rabbit, it's clearly some kind of Devil Beast!" Zhao Yarou said calmly, her expression unchanged.

"Raging Rabbit, Level 9 Magic Beast, Rare! Twenty points!" Li Yue glanced at the information and read it aloud. This information was borrowed from the Mercenary Guild by the event organizers, who also used some of the guild's props to provide participants with some basic information.
