The rescued villainous lady wants to go home with me

Finally Bailifu sighed heavily, "Let's go back first."

They didn't make much preparation for this search, and getting here was already the limit.

And as the night fell again, the deeper it went, the more dangerous it was, so we could only retreat temporarily, rest and prepare again before coming back.

Thinking of not knowing how to face Lorraine and the others, Byriver's mood was a little subtle.

Ilinya will cause this situation this time, and she also bears a lot of responsibility.

But now that things have happened, it is useless to think so much. Finding Lorraine as soon as possible is the most important thing.

It's just that this time it can only stop here temporarily.

Just as Bayriver and the others were about to return the same way, a figure in a cloak passed by them.

Thinking it was another beast or something, the people next to him drew their swords and made alert gestures.

Bayriver looked carefully, and after seeing Xue Ni's face, he thought for a while, "I seem to have seen her somewhere."

At the banquet last time, although Bailifu greeted many people, he could only remember some of them roughly, and he didn't have a deep impression of Xueni.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Bayriver wanted to step forward to stop Xueni. Obviously, she also came to look for Lorraine, but it was too dangerous for her alone.

Xue Ni continued to walk down the river bank as if she couldn't see him.

"Your Highness, what should I do?" The person next to him asked Bayriver in confusion.

It has been very difficult for the few of them to come here, not to mention that person was alone just now.

Bailifu shook his head and repeated what he said just now, "Go back."

They are very tired now, it is not realistic to ask them to chase Xueni.

I can only hope that Xue Ni will not have an accident.

After Xue Ni passed by Bay River and the others, she continued to go down to the river bank, murmuring non-stop, "Not here, not here, not here."

Along the way, there seemed to be a path opened by Bayriver and the others, and Xue Ni was not hindered much.

And then, the further you go down, the closer you get to the Aino Forest, which proves to be more dangerous.

Xue Ni was moving forward very fast, but her eyes were always looking around, for fear of missing something.

Originally, with the moonlight, we could still see the surroundings clearly along the way, but as the dark clouds gathered and covered us, the visibility became lower.

At the same time, it began to rain slowly in the sky.

Xue Ni stopped, and pulled up the hat behind the cloak with her hands. This cloak was prepared for this situation.

The moment she pulled up her hat, Xueni saw that the bracelet she had been wearing began to glow slightly.

Xue Ni stared blankly at the bracelet, but didn't react for a while.

Then, regardless of whether the hat was on or not, he sped up and ran forward.

Seeing the light of the bracelet getting brighter and brighter, Xueni's face began to look excited, "Lorraine, Lorraine, I'm here."

But when she ran to the position of the bracelet sensor, Xue Ni stopped in her tracks.

The rain made it difficult to see the distance, but on the river bank in front of it, you could still see a bracelet entangled by the branches in the river, shaking constantly under the washing of the water.

"not here."

Xue Ni's eyes began to dim, like the flame on a burning candle that might go out at any time.

She didn't care that the rain had fallen on her face due to the wind.

Xueni stood there for a while, then stepped forward and picked up the bracelet from the branch.

Holding Lorraine's bracelet tightly, she wanted to feel Lorraine's temperature from above, but the only response Xuenie received was the coldness that washed over her.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, as if this rain is going to cover everything up.

Walking to a nearby shelter formed by boulders and trees, Xue Ni curled up and sat down against the boulder, her arms under the cloak tightly hugging her legs.

She really wanted to continue looking for Lorraine, but moving forward under the heavy rain would only be a pointless waste of energy.

Taking out two bracelets, Xueni looked at them absentmindedly.

"Where are you?"

Worry, fear, coldness, and despair that has been suppressed but becomes increasingly clear.

They are like a pair of scissors, cutting off the mental threads one by one.

"Blame me for not being good enough."

"If I have enough power, I can crush every possibility of his disappearance."

"Let him stay by my side forever."

"If I had known that something like this would happen, I wouldn't have let him out of my sight and wouldn't have let him go."

"...Or, at that time, I should tie him up again and let him stay by my side all the time."

The blowing of the wind made the leaves on the tree tremble, and all the water droplets on them fell down and landed on Xueni's cloak.

"No! No, no!" Xue Ni put her hands on her head.

Just for a moment, I vaguely felt that I was on the verge of collapse.

It's like standing on the edge of a cliff. As long as you take another step forward, you will reach the bottomless abyss. If you are swallowed by it, Xue Ni doesn't know what will happen to herself.

Xueni slapped her cheeks hard until her cheeks turned red, and then Xue Ni dispelled those negative emotions.

Xueni said to herself, "Calm down, I want to calm down."

Not long ago, it was Li'er, but now it's him who is persuading him, which makes Xueni feel a bit ridiculous.

If blessings are always accompanied by curses, Lorraine's appearance is a blessing for Xueni, and his disappearance also brings curses.

Xueni hoped that this was just a nightmare, as long as she woke up, Lorraine would be by her side to comfort her.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Feeling that the rain was starting to lighten, Xue Ni stood up again, and then continued to search down the river bank without looking back.

As long as Lorraine is found, all this can be ended.

Chapter 10

Girl

On the river bank, the cloaked figure kept moving forward at a fast pace. The puddles she stepped on splashed water and mud, soaking her cloak, but she didn't care at all. It was better to say that she couldn't see it.

A fish belly color appeared in the sky, and the sun shone on the earth again.

"Has the rain stopped?" Xue Ni realized later that the rain had stopped at some point.

Taking off the hat on her head, Xueni kept adjusting her breathing.

Even though there was a cloak to shelter from the rain along the way, the whole hair was completely wet and looked a little embarrassed.

The exhaustion of the body made Xue Ni feel dizzy, and she took a step back a little later before she managed to stabilize her figure.

"No, I can't rest, I can find it, I can still..."

Xue Ni didn't know where he was now, but only knew that this river still had no end in sight.

And since Lorraine hadn't been seen yet, she couldn't stop.

Just when she was about to move on, there was a commotion in the woods nearby, and the birds in the trees fled away as if they had seen something.

Feeling something was wrong, Xue Ni pressed her hand on the sword, but because of being too exhausted, her pale hand began to tremble slightly.

As the sound got closer and closer, until it came out of the woods, a huge python poked its head out from there.

As it moved forward, its body touched the surrounding trees, and there was a heavy collision sound.

Originally it just wanted to enter the river, but the vertical eyes of the snake on one side noticed Xue Ni standing there vigilantly.

The giant snake stopped its advancing body, turned around to face Xueni, and then raised its head high under the action of its hovering body.

The snake letter spat out from its mouth, and the giant snake looked down at Xueni like a monarch, already ready to judge her.

It is much more convenient to find the prey that comes into your sight than to find it by yourself.

Looking at the guy in front of her, sweat began to appear on Xueni's forehead. This was the first time she had seen such a huge snake, and it was comparable to the guys Lorraine had killed with high-level magic before.

After a brief pause, the giant snake opened its mouth, bent down and threw itself towards Xueni.

Seeing this, Xue Ni fell to one side holding the sword, but the cloak behind her got away and was torn apart in an instant.

The stones on the river bank turned into gravel under the impact of the giant snake, but because of the impact of the rain not long ago, there was not much dust raised.

The giant snake immediately adjusted its body, and attacked Xue Ni again with a strange posture.

Xueni turned slightly to avoid it again, and then slashed the sword towards the giant snake's body with all her strength.

After the sharp long sword blade touched the body of the giant snake, there was a piercing sound as if it was rubbing against a metal object.

The hand holding the sword was so shocked that Xue Ni could only let the sword fly out of her hand and fall aside.

"so hard."

Xue Ni shook his palm, wanting to relieve the pain just now.

The harmless attack, even without looking, let the giant snake know Xueni's location.

Just as the giant snake was about to turn around, accompanied by the low groan of magic chanting, a flame hit it directly, forcing the giant snake's body to retreat slightly.

The giant snake retreated and looked at the place where it was hit. There was a faint burning sensation, which made it very unhappy.

On the other side, Xue Ni wanted to run away quickly by taking advantage of the giant snake ignoring it for a moment.

Before running a few steps, a huge flame struck, directly blocking the road ahead.

He closed his open mouth, and the flames pouring out from there were swallowed again by the giant snake.

For ordinary snakes, venom is like fire, causing pain to prey and eventually wiping out their lives.

But if it is a monster, the power they control is even more terrifying than venom.

Xueni thought that the guy she met was just a relatively huge python, but the moment the flames appeared, Xueni knew that she was wrong.

Just at this moment of stupefaction, the giant snake's tail struck and threw Xueni directly into the river.

The river water submerged the body, causing Xueni to struggle upwards, but with a loud noise, the giant snake's body also entered the river.

The huge tail came up again, wrapping around Xueni's body.

Slowly torturing the prey, causing its life to slowly dissipate, is like an appetizer before a meal for many beasts.

The tight feeling, coldness, suffocation, and the deepening darkness in front of her eyes gradually swallowed Xue Ni up.

When Xueni's consciousness was about to dissipate, a not loud but clear voice came from her ears.

"go~"

An arrow made of green light rushed into the river, hitting the place where the giant snake was entangled with Xueni.

The severe pain forced the giant snake to let go of Xueni, and Xueni quickly swam hard and climbed back onto the shore.

"Uh...cough cough cough." Xue Ni coughed out the river water that had choked into her body, panting continuously.

"Huh? Kid, are you okay?"

When she heard someone talking to herself, Xueni raised her head and looked up.

There, a girl-shaped figure stood on a stone not far away.

But what is strange is that her whole body is transparent, as if she is surrounded by a ball of green light, or the green light is her body.

Xue Ni squinted her eyes and looked at her face, she could clearly see her appearance, but when she thought about it in her mind, there was nothing but a blur.

"You are?" Snowy asked.

"Me." The girl was about to introduce herself, but then she remembered something, pointed to the sky, and laughed playfully, "Shh~ I can't tell you now. It would be bad if that guy knew about it."

Fortunately, that guy was too busy with other things, so he didn't pay attention to this for the time being.

The giant snake rushed out of the water with an angry look on its face, but when it saw the girl standing there, it suddenly stopped.
