NFBE Chapter 105 Rain God Ye Yaoyao
Chapter 105 Rain God Ye Yaoyao
Finding a sheltered cave, Ye Yaoyao gathered dry firewood at the entrance and nimbly carried it into the cave.
Qin Jingyu went out and came back dragging half a dried-up tree branch in his hand. Han Ming also found something similar, carrying two already killed chickens. Ye Yaoyao looked at the small piece of firewood she had found.
They're people who know how to survive in the wild; there's enough for them to last one night.
Han Ming put on a mask and sat a distance away from Qin Jingyu to start a fire. Ye Yaoyao took out herbs from her bag, picked up a clean stone, crushed them, and applied them to his wound to stop the bleeding.
Qin Jingyu had already piled up firewood in front of him, but hadn't lit it yet. He sat there watching Ye Yaoyao's every move.
Ye Yaoyao looked at the wounds on Han Ming's body that resembled whip marks, but did not ask any questions.
"Take good care of your injury these next few days."
"Thank you, miss!"
After applying the medicine to Han Ming, Ye Yaoyao walked to the other side and watched Qin Jingyu start a fire. His fair and slender fingers were fiddling with the firewood, which was quite a sight to behold. Her thoughts drifted away.
[This handsome man can actually start a fire. He doesn't look like the kind of person who would do any manual labor; he probably can't even peel an egg.]
[Host, you are still alive!]
[System, you're online again. If you had a physical form, you'd definitely be a coward.]
[Host, I was forced offline, not because I'm cowardly. With Qi Zi by your side, everything will be alright.]
The system quickly went to watch the replay, while Ye Yaoyao kept her eyes glued to Qin Jingyu's hand and chatted with the system at the same time.
"Staring at me like that, are you perhaps captivated by my heroic figure as I start a fire?" Qin Jingyu's eyes held a hint of mockery.
Ye Yaoyao, without blushing or panting, nodded and admitted, "Yes! It looks good!"
Qin Jingyu was in a good mood and roasted the prepared pheasant over the fire.
I'm so hungry! When will the pheasant be ready? And I'm so thirsty.
Ye Yaoyao stared intently at the pheasant that had just been put down, swallowing hard.
"Gulu gulu..."
Inside the cave, besides the crackling sound of the fire, the loudest sound was the pounding of one's stomach.
"Hehe! I'm so hungry after running for my life!"
Ye Yaoyao covered her stomach in embarrassment and gave an awkward laugh.
"Eat up!" Qin Jingyu handed her a bright yellow apricot.
"Apricots, Your Highness, when did you pick them?"
Ye Yaoyao took the apricots with delight and asked curiously, while Qin Jingyu pointed to a bunch of apricots next to her.
"Wow! So many!"
He couldn't wait to wipe it clean, took a bite, and then picked two more and handed them to Han Ming.
"This fruit is very juicy and sweet, Hanming, eat it quickly."
Han Ming truly lived up to his reputation as a secret guard; he was so inconspicuous when he leaned against that spot.
"Thank you, Miss." Han Ming carefully accepted it.
[You heartless bastard, I picked the fruit, and you weren't the first to give it to me.] Qin Jingyu muttered to himself, but his face remained expressionless.
As if sensing Qin Jingyu's dissatisfaction, Ye Yaoyao gave him two.
Qin Jingyu held it in his hand but didn't eat it, and Ye Yaoyao thought he thought it was unclean.
"It would be great if it rained right now." The lake outside is quite far from them, so rain would be the most convenient thing to do.
"Boom! Boom!" Not long after, thunder suddenly struck from the sky, startling Ye Yaoyao.
Qin Jingyu looked at her in surprise.
"No way! It's really going to... rain."
After this happened twice, Ye Yaoyao's eyes widened in disbelief.
She walked to the cave entrance to investigate. The once star-studded sky was now dark. Ye Yaoyao stretched out her hand and felt the raindrops falling into her palm.
"Yaoyao's words are truly accurate."
"No, no, it's just a coincidence. It's normal for it to rain a lot in summer!"
Ye Yaoyao looked at Qin Jingyu and quickly waved her hand, afraid that she would be seen as a jinx.
[Host, you're not the Rain God, are you?! The rain just starts whenever you want.]
[What rain god? System, don't talk nonsense, it's just a coincidence!]
If I were the Rain God, I'd make sure my scumbag dad got struck by lightning.
"Rain God." Qin Jingyu nodded.
Oh dear! Even this handsome man thinks I'm the Rain God.
"Your Highness, I am not."
"Next time it won't be such a coincidence, then I'll believe it's not true."
Qin Jingyu smiled and stood up, took out a dagger, and used his internal energy to dig a few times in the rock, creating a container that could hold water.
"Wow! That's amazing!" Yao Yao couldn't help but exclaim.
There's hot water and roast chicken here, but those searching for Ye Yaoyao outside aren't so lucky.
They were drenched in the sudden rain, their torches went out, and they could no longer continue their search.
"The weather is not cooperating. Everyone, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain. We'll look for one tomorrow."
Liu Lingchuan spoke loudly, his voice somewhat muffled in the rain, but he believed that Ye Yaoyao was not in any danger.
"Uncle, I'll keep looking." Ye Li'an didn't want to give up so quickly; what if his little sister was waiting for him to save her life?
"No, it's hard to even see the road now, how are we supposed to find it? Follow me."
Liu Lingchuan spoke firmly and grabbed Ye Lian'an. He had been following Ye Lian'an all night, afraid that he would leave his sight and act alone.
News spread that assassins had ambushed him on his way back to the city from the villa, and the Chang'an government sent people to investigate.
This morning, after court, Ye Mian went home early.
As darkness fell, Liu Yunshu waited at the door for her children to return. Liu Hanxing returned after seeing them off, and seeing the carriage stop, Liu Yunshu immediately went to greet them.
“Aunt, something happened on the way, so I brought Jingyang and Xiyao back.”
"The authorities sent someone to tell me, I know. How are the brother and sister doing?"
The two got off the carriage. Ye Jingyang was covered in blood and had his arm in a sling. Ye Xiyao was not injured, but she was also in a sorry state.
Liu Yunshu's heart clenched suddenly, her face turned deathly pale, her lips trembled, and her voice shook.
"Jingyang, you're injured! Quick, take the young master inside and call a doctor."
Ye Jingyang comforted her, "Mother, I'm not seriously injured. Don't worry about me."
"Mother, I'm not hurt." Ye Xiyao got out of the car and helped her up.
"Dongzhu, quickly help the young master inside."
"Yes, Madam, Second Young Master, this servant will help you." Dongzhu quickly stepped forward and carefully helped Ye Jingyang into the room.
"Xiyao, where are your older brother and younger sister?"
Liu Yunshu was still looking out at the road, and Ye Xiyao didn't know how to talk to her for a moment.
"Hanxing, has something happened to them?"
Liu Yunshu felt uneasy, and Ye Mian rushed out upon hearing the news.
"Jingyang returned injured, but what about the others?"
Upon hearing Ye Mian's voice, Ye Xiyao felt intense hatred for her father, even feeling ashamed that she carried his blood in her veins.
Liu Yunshu's face darkened. If anything happened to her children, she would immediately send Ye Mian to hell.
Ye Xiyao did not answer, and Ye Mian looked at Liu Hanxing.
"Hanxing is back. Do you know what happened?"
"Uncle, I'm not quite sure."
Liu Hanxing scrutinized Ye Mian. His father had briefly told him that Ye Mian harbored ill intentions and that he should be careful.
"Sir, we encountered assassins on our way back."
Fu Ya replied that during their time at the Ye residence, the two sisters could sense that the father and son were not close, and they wondered if Ye Mian was truly concerned about them now.
