Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 30

How could she possibly let go of this man?

Unable to express her feelings at that moment, she could only hold him tightly in her arms, protecting him as if afraid that the thorny bushes would hurt him again.

"They're over there! Catch them!"

A shout erupted behind me, startling the birds in the forest into flight, creating a rustling sound.

Nalan Jingwen's expression was solemn. He gritted his teeth and quickened his pace again, not even having time to look back. The situation was critical, and he could only rely on his familiarity with the terrain to keep his distance from them.

But this was not a solution. Her strength would eventually run out, and although they were unfamiliar with the terrain and their steps were slowed down, they had the advantage of numbers and could surround her together. They had to find another way.

He looked down at the person in his arms, biting his lip, trying to hold her in the most comfortable position so as not to be a burden to her.

But bringing others along wouldn't work. If only one person could survive, she hoped it would be him.

With a sudden thought, he dodged into the bushes beside him. There was a low slope there that could just conceal the two of them, but if they chased him here, they would surely find him if they searched carefully!

The only way is to send one person to distract the other so that the one left behind won't be discovered.

He put Liu Qishan down and said in a deep voice, "Qishan, listen to me. I've left a mark. Someone will find you soon. Just hang in there. Once they find this place, you can go with them."

Liu Qishan was incredibly clever, especially since her intentions were so obvious. He grabbed her hand as she tried to pull away, the veins on the back of her hand bulging.

"Jingwen!"

Nalan Jingwen wanted to pull his hand away, but when his eyes fell on the scarred hand, a flash of pain crossed his eyes, and he gave up.

She softened her tone, trying to make her voice sound steady and coaxing.

"Qishan, you're the most obedient one. I'll lure the people away first, and I'll come find you as soon as I've shaken them off."

She has no internal energy and her physical strength is about to be exhausted. In any case, unless a miracle occurs, she has no chance of escaping this large-scale encirclement and has no hope of survival.

But she was Nalan Jingwen, the person in charge of the Nalan family. She had teetered on the brink of death countless times and had seen all kinds of storms. Even so, she would never give up and would create a chance for life even when there was none.

But she couldn't let Liu Qishan take the risk with her!

Liu Qishan held onto her tightly, completely flustered and at a loss. Even when he was injured and being chased, he had never been so out of control.

"No...don't leave me...please..."

He gripped her hand tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and shook his head resolutely.

"Please...no...you can't abandon me again!"

Nalan Jingwen no longer had the mind to ponder the meaning behind his words, and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“Desolate Mountain…”

Before she could finish speaking, he cut her off with his next words. He forced back tears and said with difficulty, "You said it, that you would never leave me, no matter what!"

"Why did you lie to me! I don't want you to lure them away to save me. Even if I die, I want to die with you!"

His tears were scalding hot and fell even more violently. He began to speak incoherently, and his emotions slowly collapsed, all because he was afraid that she would abandon him.

"You clearly said that... why are you lying to me again!"

"If you dare to abandon me, I will go to them and let them kill me immediately!"

Nalan Jingwen could not believe it; Liu Qishan had gone mad.

She fell silent, watching his trembling fingertips, which were straining against her skin. Finally, she reached out and brushed aside the messy hair clinging to his face, letting out a soft laugh, just as always.

"Okay, we'll die together."

She has always walked alone, never afraid of anything, whether it was a thick fog or an abyss ahead. Even when no one was by her side, she continued to move forward steadily.

One person can forge a bloody path, and two people can too.

She always faced danger head-on, not only because she was confident, but also because she firmly believed that no one could bring her down, and even if she died, she would die with dignity.

Liu Qishan simply smiled, like the ultimate gentleness of a hibiscus in full bloom; it was only early spring, yet she had already witnessed the hibiscus blooming in autumn.

Nalan Jingwen picked the person up again, but his eyes were firm.

No matter what the final outcome is, she will not let go.

"Over there! Stop her!"

Arrows flew past her side, piercing straight into the trunks of the trees, some embedding themselves heavily in the ground at her feet, half-buried.

She can't stop; if she stops even for a moment, she'll be riddled with bullets.

"Puch"

The sound of sharp arrows piercing flesh.

Blood splattered on Liu Qishan's jade-like face and eyes. He blinked subconsciously, raised his hand to wipe the bloodstains from his face, and his eyes were stained blood red.

He froze, his breathing erratic, a look of pain on his face. The sticky blood made him feel nauseous, and his already pale complexion became even more translucent.

He was wrong, it shouldn't have been like this, he was wrong...

Nalan Jing sensed his pain. Even though he had been shot in the shoulder with an arrow, he only staggered a few steps before continuing to walk forward unsteadily. She wanted to comfort him and tell him that she was not in pain and that she was alright.

However, she was holding her breath and couldn't afford to be distracted. If she lost that breath, she would truly be powerless.

Her body had reached its limit; blood was trickling from her arrow-pierced shoulder, and she was growing weaker and weaker, with double vision appearing before her eyes.

Then, upon seeing a familiar place, his eyes lit up.

That cave!

almost……

Ten steps, seven steps, three steps...

She lunged towards that direction, rolling around several times with Liu Qishan in her arms, before tumbling awkwardly into the cave. The arrow in her shoulder went even deeper, and she let out a muffled groan.

Liu Qishan hurriedly got up to check her pulse and injuries, but she grabbed his hand and pulled him into her arms.

Body temperature began to drop, and breathing became faint.

"Be good, don't move."

Liu Qishan's eyes were red and swollen. He calmly leaned against her, supporting her with his own body, but his hands were trembling.

He couldn't touch her at all; she was covered in wounds.

While listening to the commotion outside, Nalan Jingwen rested his chin on Liu Qishan's forehead and patted his back.

"Don't be afraid, everything will be alright once the rescue arrives, just wait a little longer..."

She wasn't sure if the people sent by Rong Hengyu were reliable, but she had no other choice but to take a gamble and hope that they wouldn't find her before the rescue arrived.

"On our first day of marriage, I made you suffer because of me. I'm so sorry..."

Liu Qishan shook his head. Although his face was calm, tears had already streamed down his face. He opened his mouth to say something, but no matter what he did, he couldn't make a sound. So he could only hold her hand and write in her palm with trembling hands.

It's not bitter... it's my fault for dragging you down.

Nalan Jingwen leaned against the stone wall, took a breath, and took his hand into her palm.

"Idiot, I've never felt that way."

She looked at his pained and self-reproachful expression, smiled, and kissed his forehead.

In the past, even in the most dangerous situations, she was always alone, but now there is someone else accompanying her, which feels a little strange.

"If we can't escape this calamity, how about I come find you in my next life?"

Liu Qishan shook his head.

Nalan Jingwen could barely maintain her smile as her consciousness began to blur. She clenched her hands, and the stinging pain of her nails digging into her flesh brought her back to a slightly clearer state. Seeing him shake his head, she didn't think much of it.

They should never meet again in their next life. If it weren't for her, Liu Qishan could have lived a good life, going to the city every day to provide free medical care to the people and doing what he loved, without having to suffer this calamity.

If anyone should be implicated, it should be her who implicated him.

Liu Qishan was such a good man.

I shouldn't have met her...

That shouldn't be...
