Chapter 125 Trapped Beast (1)

“Shame?” Ye Li fixed her with a withering gaze, “Since you feel that I’m a shameless man, why then did you allow me to capture you?”

Earlier, Ye Li wanted to escape because he had absorbed too much inner strength that caused his body to almost reach its breaking point. That was why he wanted to grab Mo Linyuan to use as scapegoat, but Wen Feng’s reaction was too fast and therefore, he did not have the chance. Suddenly, he saw Ye Mu take a few steps towards him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

And after he captured Ye Mu, the people around him really did not dare to act rashly. Only then did he have the chance to run over here.

Thinking of this, Ye Li’s manic mood gradually calmed down as he stared at Ye Mu with his bell-like eyes.

“You clearly know that I’m danger, but you still dare to do such a thing. Are you not afraid of death?”

Ye Mu looked at him, as if she wanted to say something, and her next words stunned Ye Li, “Only with me here can you leave this place alive. You can’t kill me now.”

Her answer caused the inner palace to be submerged in a deathly silence.

Ye Li really did not expect that at this time, she would actually…there was someone else who wanted to help him?

Some scholars wanted to help him because he had riches and brawn. The soldiers of the Ye Army were loyal to him because he had used their faith to deceive them. What about Ye Mu? For what reason was she helping him? With everything that has happened, he clearly had already lost and had nothing left. What could she possibly gain from saving him?

After tormenting herself for so long, Ye Mu was also weary. She sat on the ground and used a piece of silk to wipe her blood-stained face, but she suddenly heard Ye Li speak with a forlorn voice.

“Just wait until I successfully escape. I will definitely kill you.”

Ye Mu’s actions paused for a moment. “Oh,” she merely muttered.

Ye Li wasn’t willing to accept it and said, “I’m speaking the truth! Even if I kill you a hundred times, I still wouldn’t regret it one bit!”

Ye Mu continued to wipe her face. “That’s up to you.”

“You!”

Ye Li glared and was just about to say something when a small hand covered in blood and sand extended over. Her fingertips held bread she had hidden in her robe before, and her expression was indifferent as she held them towards him.

“It’s almost dark. Aren’t you hungry?”

Due to Ye Mu’s instinctual survival habits from being a soldier, she always had three things on her body: weapons, medicine, and food.

However, the bottle of medicine she had secured had fallen earlier. Now, she only had two breads left on her body…

Ye Li stared at her, as if he was hoping to find a trace of fear on her face. But he didn’t. The hand that she extended towards him didn’t move at all, her expression still unfazed. The bread was like a joke thrown at his face.

Seeing that Ye Li wasn’t willing to receive it, Ye Mu directly stuffed it into his hand, and then took another piece from her own to gnaw on.

Ye Li, who was nearly two meters tall, had an inexplicable feeling when he opened his palm to look at that small piece of bread inside. This kind of feeling was truly unprecedented.

“Why?”

Ye Li asked in a stern voice, but even he didn’t notice that his voice had an uncertain slight tremble.

“How can there be so many reasons…” Ye Mu was really beyond tired. Her current body was only six years old, and the physical activities today had far exceeded the norm, leaving a toll on her body.

“Then why did you save me?!”

Ye Li grabbed Ye Mu’s shoulder to force her to look at him. Ye Mu tiredly raised her head, and then he saw her eyes, which were devoid of confusion as they have always been, silently look at him. Her eyes were always solemn, even for a child her age. Whenever she looked at someone, she scrutinized them wholly, not giving them a mere fleeting glance.

When Ye Mu saw his miserable state, a trace of pity flashed in the depths of her eyes.
