Lost (3)
During this time, Ye Lang also received a report from Cold-Blooded Fifth about the hidden strength around Zhao Yarou. The report made him realize that Zhao Yarou was extraordinary. Even if Heaven-Rank Expert came, they might not be able to do anything to her.
Therefore, Cold-Blooded Fifth reminded Ye Lang not to touch Zhao Yarou unless absolutely necessary, and not to reveal his identity.
Ye Lang felt there was no problem with the first part, at least he knew his limits. But the second part was hard to say. After being together for a while, Zhao Yarou, being so shrewd, should have discovered something.
Ye Lang seemed unaware that things were getting a little strange. Zhao Yarou's attitude towards him was odd, unlike how she would treat a stranger.
Regardless, Ye Lang felt it was necessary to get rid of Zhao Yarou; he absolutely had to get rid of her tomorrow...
The next day, Ye Lang tried many methods, but he still couldn't shake off Zhao Yarou. Zhao Yarou was like a leech, stuck to Ye Lang.
Ye Lang directly told Zhao Yarou that she was annoying and should stop bothering him!
As a result, Zhao Yarou said something that suddenly reminded Ye Lang of some things...
"You want to dump me again! Why don't you like me that much?!"
Why say "again"?
Ye Lang didn't pay attention to this question, thinking that Zhao Yarou was referring to the time from yesterday to now, and that he had tried to get rid of Zhao Yarou more than once or twice.
"Let you go with..."
In the end, Ye Lang could only resort to the most primitive method: running. He led his horse at breakneck speed, a speed that even the horse struggled to keep up with.
In response, Zhao Yarou mounted her horse and gave chase. The two raced each other, gradually losing their bearings, and the number of people following Zhao Yarou dwindled.
"You're still running!"
"You're still chasing me!"
"If you don't run, I won't chase you!"
"If you don't chase me, I won't run anymore!"
"Don't run!"
"Don't chase after them!"
"You..."
"You..."
Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou were still locked in a stalemate, while Li Yue could only feel a headache. She hadn't expected things to develop to this point; the dignified Empress was having so much fun with this person.
Damn, who's happy about this!
If they knew what Li Yue was thinking, both Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou would have objected.
"Huh? Where is this?" Zhao Yarou suddenly asked. She seemed to realize that the environment was unfamiliar, and at the same time, she realized that she seemed to have lost track of her people one by one.
This surprised her a little. She knew the capabilities of her Royal Guard; even if she ran fast, they wouldn't lose her!
At this moment, she was also a little scared, afraid that Ye Lang might do something to her, since there were only the three of them together now.
"How would I know!" Ye Lang replied irritably. He seemed to have noticed this strange phenomenon as well. He couldn't sense Cold-Blooded Fifth's aura, and she didn't respond when he asked her.
It seems that not only Zhao Yarou has lost her guards, but Ye Lang has also lost his personal bodyguard!
However, at this moment, Zhao Yarou was all alone, which presented an excellent opportunity to kill her, but Ye Lang did not do so, perhaps because he had forgotten about it.
"You don't know? Then why did you bring us here? Do you intend to do something to us?" Zhao Yarou said, protecting her body.
"Go away, even if all the women in the world died, I still wouldn't be interested in you," Ye Lang replied directly.
"What did you say?!" Zhao Yarou said coldly, and a strong chill emanated from her body.
Ye Lang's words were really provocative. Even if Zhao Yarou had a good temper, she would still get angry. Besides, her temper wasn't very good to begin with.
"I said... even if all the women in the world were dead, I still wouldn't be interested in you!" Ye Lang said again, completely unconcerned about Zhao Yarou's murderous aura.
"Am I really that hateful to you?!" Zhao Yarou's voice grew colder and colder.
"It's not about whether I hate you or not, I just don't have feelings for you, it's a matter of principle!" Ye Lang said nonchalantly.
"Your Majesty, let's not talk about these things now. Let's talk about our current situation." Li Yue Yuejian changed the subject as the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
"Hmph!" Zhao Yarou, looking at Ye Lang with a cold gaze.
This is the Empress! It seems she has returned to normal! Although Zhao Yarou's coldness was frightening, Li Yue felt that this was more normal; Zhao Yarou should always be like this.
"Ford Fox, do you not know where we are?" Li Yue asked Ye Lang. Judging from Zhao Yarou's attitude, it was pointless to ask her. Besides, she had followed Ye Lang in.
"I don't know! But I can say for sure one thing!" Ye Lang said.
"What's the matter?" Li Yue asked, while Zhao Yarou also turned her attention to Ye Lang.
We're lost!
"..." The two women remained silent.
"That goes without saying!! In other words, you don't even know where you are?" Zhao Yarou said calmly.
Ye Lang nodded, looked around, and then said, "I don't know! But I'm certain of one thing!"
"Explain!"
"We've been separated from the others!" Ye Lang said.
"That's obvious!" Zhao Yarou said.
"Can't you say something constructive?" Li Yue said somewhat helplessly.
Ye Lang thought for a moment, then said, "Yes, and there's one more thing I can be sure of!"
"..." Zhao Yarou and Li Yue both looked at Ye Lang. This time, they were too lazy to ask any more questions.
"I'm sure if we don't find shelter from the rain, we'll be soaked to the bone!" Ye Lang said.
"?? You mean, it's going to rain now?" Li Yue looked up at the sky, but couldn't see any sign of rain.
"Yes, it's about to rain, and it'll be a thunderstorm, so we'd better go to that cave over there!" Ye Lang pointed to a cave not far away. It was a cave halfway up a small mountain, and the entrance seemed quite large, making it immediately noticeable.
"Are you sure it will rain?" Zhao Yarou asked.
"Confirmed!" Ye Lang nodded without explanation.
"Okay, let's go!" Zhao Yarou replied readily.
So the three of them headed toward the cave, and as they entered, the weather outside began to change, with thunderclouds gathering, a sign that a thunderstorm was imminent.
At this moment, Zhao Yarou and Li Yue were glad that they believed Ye Lang's words, otherwise they would have really been soaked to the bone outside.
"How did you know it would rain?" Li Yue asked curiously.
"You can tell from the details of the environment. It's not difficult. If you want to learn, I can teach you!" Ye Lang said.
"Okay!" Li Yue nodded. She naturally wanted to learn this, as it was something she had to learn for military operations.
