Arrows stuck haphazardly in the mud, their feathered tails trembling slightly.
Hua Manman was completely wrapped in a cloak, her head covered by its hood.
She had to struggle to lift her head just to see the face of the man before her.
Hua Manman felt like she was in a dream. It was all so unreal.
She blinked and couldn't help but call out.
"Li Ji..."
It was the first time she had ever called him by his full name.
When she said it, the name sounded inexplicably soft to Li Ji's ears.
It was like a feather brushing gently against his heart.
Li Ji held her a little tighter and answered in a low voice.
"Mm, I'm here."
In the distance, Li Hao and the others were startled by the sight.
They never imagined Prince Zhao would catch up to them so quickly!
