Chapter 694 - 694: Refusing To Believe

Translator: Lordbluefire

Ji Shuai, however, still didn’t believe it.

He was even too lazy to verify it. “Our team has no problem, why should I make a call? What if you attack while we’re on the phone?”

Yan Zixuan was very annoyed by his arrogance.

But he vaguely remembered… wasn’t this how he disliked the Princess and the rest of the female soldiers when they first joined the Yan family’s army?

No way…

He couldn’t have been that repulsive, could he? At most, he was a bit annoying…

While Yan Zixuan was lost in his thoughts, he hurriedly brought himself back to reality. As he was about to say something, someone from the Yan family’s army came over.

Ji Shuai cast a wary glance, but when he realized that it was Shen Ruojing, he immediately relaxed a lot. “What? Is the Princess here to seek refuge too? That’s not impossible. But if you follow us, any flags we find belong to us! Also, on the road ahead, you need to help us wash clothes and cook!”

Though they had found plenty of game to fill their stomachs, everyone’s cooking skill was mediocre at best.

Also, one of the skills that the noblewomen of Country A had to learn was cooking.

If they could help cook for the soldiers, the meals of this group would be much more palatable.

Shen Ruojing frowned.

Yan Zixuan also reprimanded, “Show some respect for the Princess!”

“Oh,” Ji Shuai said with a smile, “Princess, we can protect you as long as your female soldiers wash clothes and cook for us. Do you agree, Princess?”

The tone was respectful, but wasn’t the implication the same?

Yan Zixuan was angry.

However, Shen Ruojing gave Yan Zixuan a look to keep calm and then turned her gaze to the soldiers.

Everyone had just changed their clothes and boarded the helicopter, so they didn’t smell too bad. But after hours of trekking, everyone was sweaty and their clothes exuded a smell of sweat.

But among this sweat smell, there was a… peculiar fragrance?

(This scent, it is somewhat familiar…) Shen Ruojing suddenly thought of something and her face fell.

She immediately looked at Ji Shuai and asked directly, “How long have you been here?”

Ji Shuai replied, “About an hour? Anyway, we’re going to rest here tonight. You can’t expect us to give up our spot!”

An hour…

Shen Ruojing felt a sense of panic.

She looked around subconsciously and saw that the usually noisy forest was unusually quiet, without even a bird’s chirping.

This excessive quietness…

Shen Ruojing immediately shouted, “Get your soldiers together right now. We have to leave here immediately!”

Ji Shuai sneered, “Princess, what are you doing? You don’t have to scare us like this just to take our spot.”

Shen Ruojing explained, “Jing Yi had sprinkled a special fragrance on the clothes he prepared for you. This fragrance can attract large animals in the surroundings and trigger their instincts! The surrounding area is so quiet now. We must have been targeted by those large animals!”

Upon hearing this, Yan Zixuan also noticed something amiss.

On their way back, they could hear the chirping of birds and insects in the forest, but it was eerily quiet in this area.

A chill ran up his spine, making his hair stand on end!

Ji Shuai looked around and then sneered, “Oh my, I’m so scared!!”

After that, he started laughing. “Princess, do you think you can scare us with such a method? Let me tell you, even if a lion shows up, can’t thirty of us handle it? Princess, you should stop spreading panic here!

“Moreover, you are saying that there’s something wrong with the supplies. We’ve been wearing these clothes and haven’t had a problem. I think you’re just biased against Prince Jing Yi, always suspecting that he’s targeting you.”

Just as Ji Shuai wanted to mock some more, there came a sudden rustling noise from the bushes not far away.

Then, a heavy panting sound gradually approached them….
