The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess

Xue Ruyun slept for two whole days in the prison before waking up. Her thirst was unbearable, and her mouth was already beginning to bubble from the thirst as she continued to cough out blood.

"She looked around. Everyone should have been sent to work." Xue Ruyun was lying on the grass, and her head hurt. Right now, her entire body was in pain and she was powerless.

Xue Ruyun leaned against the wall and slowly sat up, using his hands to wrap his powerless legs around himself as he slowly began to circulate his Qi and recuperate from his injuries.

Who would have thought that before he even started circulating his Qi, Xue Ruoyun would spit out a mouthful of blood and fall to the ground.

Xue Ruyun's face was filled with pain. He clutched his chest and laid there for a good while before he finally had the strength to move his head away and spit out the grass he just ate.

She struggled to roll over. She was still in pain and didn't know how Mu Ying was doing. His cultivation was higher than his, and the backlash he received was even stronger. In addition, he had used too much strength before to forcefully hold on to the stone door. Now, he would definitely be even more injured than he was. Xue Ruyun's heart ached. He silently prayed that nothing would happen to him.

Mu Sheng coughed twice as his brows tightly knitted together. Even when he was unconscious, he still maintained his cold and aloof appearance. He pursed his lips tightly and clenched his fists.

He was dreaming, a very, very long dream. In the dream, Xue Ruoyun had been captured by someone. In the vast fog, Mu Sheng anxiously held his sword as he chased after him. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was still unable to catch up.

"Mu Ying, Mu Ying, don't chase after them anymore, hurry up and go back." While Xue Ruoyun was being pulled by someone, he was constantly shouting at Mu Ying from within the fog, worried for his safety.

"No, I'm not going back. I can't leave without you!" Mu Sheng anxiously said as he desperately chased after Xue Ruyun's voice, as if he would lose any trace of Xue Ruyun if he wasn't careful.

He really wanted to catch up to her, see her, hold her in his arms, and whisper in her ear about how much he missed her.

Up until now, although he deeply loved Xue Ruyun, he never said it out loud. He only hid his heart full of deep emotions between his lips.

After being separated from Xue Ruyun for so long, her longing for her had already flooded over her like an avalanche, sinking deep into her heart.

"My lord, my lord, how do you feel?" Wei Ming was just in time to see Mu Ying. When he heard the unconscious Mu Ying cough, he immediately leaned on the side of the bed and softly called out to him.

However, Mu Sheng didn't have any other reaction other than coughing a few times. His eyes rolled around, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

"Your Royal Highness, please hold on for a moment. The two Divine Doctors will arrive soon." Wei Ming comforted Mu Ying worriedly, even though he couldn't hear it.

"Mu Ying, Mu Ying..." Xue Ruoyun muttered to himself, unceasingly shouting out Mu Ying's name as he slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, many of the wounds on their bodies had already started to fester due to the lack of medical treatment. Especially the arrow wound on his leg. It was deep and heavy, already numb. Right now, Xue Ruoyun could barely feel the existence of his legs.

The security around her was extremely tight. Five to six Ghost-Masked Man took turns guarding her, and no one approached her.

Xue Ruyun observed the other sisters in the cage. All of them became deeply emotional and sluggish. Every day, they would leave early and return late. It was as if they didn't know Xue Muyun at all.

"It seems like the Ghost-Masked Man has given them their medicine again." Xue Ruyun felt regretful. Originally, if he had succeeded, he would have brought a large group of people to the cave to rescue everyone. He never thought that things would actually turn out like this. Xue Luoyun's heart was filled with endless guilt.

At this time, everyone had already returned. They blankly sat in the prison, rolling their dead fish eyes while looking at Xue Ruyun.

Xue Ruyun looked at the nearby Xue Lian. During this period of time, she had become much quieter. She didn't know if it would still be useful, and without Xue Shaoli's instructions, the Ghost-Masked Man didn't dare to randomly give her medicine, so he just let her stay in prison.

Xue Lianhua knew that she was definitely going to die and suppressed her worries. No one spoke to her and gradually, she seemed to have become an undead.

The Ghost-Masked Man began to relax after seeing the serious injuries on Xue Ruoyun. He lay on the ground the entire time, unable to get up. He was surrounded by mindless corpses as well.

In the dead of night, in the middle of the night, the Ghost-Masked People, after all, had a mortal body, and they couldn't help but doze off. In the middle of the night, they all fell asleep.

Xue Ruyun's body was in pain. He was still in a half-asleep state, and the pain from his body was heart-wrenching. His whole body was burning up, and he couldn't help but wake up from the pain.

She slowly turned around and inadvertently looked towards the prison.

Suddenly, she noticed that a woman in a nearby cell was waving at her. Xue Ruyun rubbed her eyes, thinking that she was hallucinating. She reached out her hand hesitantly and waved back.

He didn't expect the other party to be so happy to see her reaction. He nodded his head in excitement.

"Ah, I didn't expect there to be someone who is awake in here!" Xue Ruyun simply didn't dare to believe it. She was so excited that she wanted to sit up, but the pain from her body made her unable to move.

At this moment, the head of the Ghost-Masked Man, who was leaning against the door, tilted and drooped down. The Ghost-Masked Man smacked his lips and woke up. He looked around and saw that everyone was sleeping soundly, so he decided to walk to a table in the distance and fall asleep while leaning against it.

With his back facing her, Xue Ruyun didn't dare to move at all. She listened attentively until the Ghost-Masked Man began to snore, one after another. Only then did she dare to roll over.

She looked over at the place where she had just been and saw that the woman had been leaning against the wall, pretending to be asleep. Only after seeing Xue Ruyun flip over did she gently prop him up on the door and hiss at him.

"It's me." The woman pointed at herself and spoke with her lips.

"You are..." Xue Ruyun rubbed his eyes, once again carefully examining that woman.

"Ahh!" Xue Ruoyun covered his mouth with his hand in astonishment and pointed at the woman in disbelief.

"You are … "Autumn Frost?"

"It's me." Qiu Shuang nodded, covering the scar on her face sorrowfully.

It turned out that because she had been drawn by Xue Lian to complain, Qiu Shuang had said that she had a close relationship with Xue Ruoyun, and the ghost-masked man suspected that she was the one who had sent the letter. In one breath, he had disfigured her face.

Thus, when Xue Luoyun saw her before, he could not recognize her from afar. It was only when he saw her movements that he recognized her.

"How could you do this?" Xue Luoyun powerlessly stretched out her hand, her heart aching to the point of wanting to stroke the scar on her face.

"I'm fine." Qiu Shuang smiled bitterly, then said resolutely, "Now is not the time to be sad. The ghost-masked man caused me so much trouble, I must escape and take my revenge."

"Alright, I'll definitely help you." Xue Ruyun vigorously nodded her head, and then felt an incomparable ridicule. She had almost forgotten that she couldn't even protect herself right now.

"Right, what happened to you?" Xue Ruyun doubtfully pointed at her head, indicating why she was awake.

Qiu Shuang looked around and paid special attention to Xue Lian's painting. After confirming that she was sleeping, she slowly said a few words. "The medicine had no effect."

"What!" Xue Luoyun was extremely shocked.
