The scumbag was secretly having an affair, while I was openly having an affair with the prince.

Chapter 238 Did I allow you to leave?

"Young Master, wait for me downstairs. I'll sneak up and take a look," Li Yao whispered in his ear.

"No!" Ye Shiting refused without even thinking.

"Hey, don't be so domineering. I'm best at cliff climbing, so it's perfect for me to go up there."

"I'm with you."

"Ok."

Li Yao released him, then suddenly flew upwards, passing through the waterfall and climbing onto the cliff face.

Seeing her like a monkey, Ye Shiting was both anxious and annoyed. After instructing his men to be ready to obey orders at any time, he also flew out of the water and headed towards the waterfall.

At the entrance of the cave, Li Yao first stretched her neck to peer inside.

But there was nothing in sight.

Because the cave was too deep, she couldn't see what was inside. After hesitating for a moment, she simply climbed up and tiptoed deeper into the cave.

Ye Shiting didn't even have time to grab her, and could only grit his teeth in anger.

Fortunately, Li Yao hadn't gone too far and was still in his sight, so he suppressed his impulse and didn't follow her in.

Li Yao, with her back to him, stared wide-eyed at the woman squatting on the ground not far away.

She had never met Zhu Huaning, but Ye Shishu had described Zhu Huaning's appearance when recounting her ordeal of being trapped.

She was dumbfounded, not because of Zhu Huaning's appearance, but because Zhu Huaning was squatting on the ground, holding an arm in her hands, and burying her head in something to gnaw on...

Correct!

She was gnawing on a bloody arm!

His black hair was disheveled and tangled, and he was covered in blood. The cave was filled with a pungent smell of blood and was littered with dead bodies.

This scene is like a female ghost eating people; who wouldn't be terrified if they saw it?

Being able to freeze in place and still dare to stare at the other person is already a testament to Li Yao's courage and strength!

"You..." Noticing someone staring at her, Zhu Huaning suddenly raised her head, her face stained with blood, her expression ferocious, her eyes filled with malice, and her voice sharp, "How are you still alive? Didn't you die with them? Oh, I know, you were trying to steal my food too, weren't you?"

"Ugh!" Seeing the meat rolling out of her mouth as she spoke, Li Yao immediately vomited.

The Jiuli tribe, who live by hunting, never eat raw meat. They never expected to see it being eaten in the Great Ye Kingdom...

Just as she was vomiting, Zhu Huaning walked towards her with disheveled hair and shouted sharply, "You dare to steal my food? Do you want to be thrown down too?"

Li Yao was startled by her appearance again and couldn't help but back away.

Zhu Huaning, her eyes bloodshot, bared her teeth and lunged at her menacingly, "You dare run? I'll throw you down!"

It wasn't that Li Yao couldn't beat her, but she was covered in blood and filth beyond description, and Li Yao instinctively didn't want to touch her. So she turned and ran towards the edge of the cave, then jumped off with a scream.

"Li Yao!" Ye Shiting was horrified and jumped down after her without thinking.

In the center of the lake is where the waterfall cascades down, with the water flowing swiftly.

Li Yao thrashed about in the water for a few moments, but before she could adjust, she was swept downstream uncontrollably, just like the corpses that had been there before.

"Li Yao!" Ye Shiting swung quickly toward her, but he was a step too slow and failed to catch her.

"Young Master!" The men by the cliff were all bewildered upon seeing this.

As Ye Shiting chased after Li Yao, he yelled at them, "Don't worry about us! Go and get her!"

Watching the two disappear downstream, the men were anxious, but they dared not disobey orders due to their mission. In the end, they had no choice but to leap up the cliff face to retrieve them from the cave.

……

Meanwhile, Li Yao, after being swept downstream, soon found herself clinging to a rock.

When Ye Shiting caught up with her, she gave him a chuckle and said, "Young Master, I didn't expect you to follow me."

Ye Shiting, his face dark and sullen, grabbed her waist and flew ashore.

As soon as they reached the shore, the nearby wolves, smelling their scent, fled as if their lives depended on it.

After putting her down, Ye Shiting didn't care about his image anymore. He plopped down on the ground, his lips tightly pressed together, panting heavily.

Li Yao rolled her eyes, squatted down in front of him, and said with a dry laugh, "I didn't jump down on purpose. You didn't see how terrifying that woman was, like seeing a ghost in broad daylight... Don't be angry, okay? Next time I'll talk to you first..."

"There's going to be a next time? Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Ye Shiting grabbed her wrist suddenly, glaring at her furiously.

"Then there won't be a next time, okay?" Li Yao pouted.

Ye Shiting wanted to scold her a few more times, but suddenly he saw black smoke rising from the sky in the distance.

And that direction is precisely the direction of the entrance to the mountain!

Seeing his strange expression, Li Yao subconsciously followed his gaze and looked back. What she saw made her exclaim in surprise, "Oh no! A wildfire has broken out!"

Ye Shiting said in a deep voice, "It seems we're not going to get out!"

Li Yao said nonchalantly, "If we can't get out, we can't get out. There's a cave, right? We can hide there!" After a pause, she added, "But we have to clean out all the dead bodies inside!"

Ye Shiting glared at her, then his gaze suddenly stopped in front of her.

Her soaked clothes clung to her skin, revealing her curves in every way, making his blood boil—

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then deliberately turned away.

Li Yao thought he was still angry, so she turned around and followed him, getting closer to his eyes. "Young Master, are you still angry? How can a grown man like you have such a temper?"

Ye Shiting glanced casually in that direction, but his peripheral vision always fell on her curvaceous body, which made him so angry that he pulled her behind him.

Li Yao blinked and looked at the back of his head, asking, "Are you going to carry me on your back?"

Ye Shiting's face immediately darkened.

Li Yao didn't jump onto his back, but instead sat down on the ground like him, sighing, "Sigh, it's so hard to talk to you, it's so boring!"

Ye Shiting's face grew increasingly dark.

Is he boring?

Does he have to be like Ye Lao Er, jumping around and acting without any sense of propriety to be interesting?

Seeing that he still ignored her, Li Yao lowered her voice, "Young Master, I know you're going to deal with Mo Qianxiao next. He definitely won't return to Beilin alive after coming to Daye Kingdom. Since I've already foreseen his fate, there's no need for me to hide anymore. I didn't plan to go back after coming out with you this time. Although I don't know where this stream leads, it should be able to get us out by following it. You go back to the cave, and I'll follow this stream out and find my way home..."

She kept talking with her head down, but before she could finish, Ye Shiting turned around and glared at her angrily, "Did I give you permission to leave?"
