She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 158 You Sleep on Top of Me

Xiang Ying’s back was pressed against the snow, being dragged and raising clouds of snow dust.

She tried to cut the rope on her foot, but it was futile.

The snow boots were too thick, she couldn’t kick them off in time!

Jie Chen rushed over on his horse, drew his bow and shot, severing the rope with two arrows!

However, the entire slope was tilting downwards.

The snow had already accumulated in a thick layer, and Xiang Ying slid downward following the inertia.

"Give me your hand!" Jie Chen stretched out his large palm.

Xiang Ying tried her best to reach, but their fingertips only briefly touched in the blizzard before parting again.

"No..." Xiang Ying’s voice was feeble, "I don’t have the strength anymore!"

Five meters ahead was the cliff!

Jie Chen looked up with his dark, piercing eyes and made a decision through gritted teeth.

He abandoned the horse, leaped forward, and directly embraced Xiang Ying.

Skinny Monkey and the others caught up and saw the two of them fall off the cliff together.

"Deputy General! Xiang Ying!"

The shouts of the crowd became desolate.

Turning his head back with bloodshot eyes, Skinny Monkey exclaimed: "Kill these Xizhou soldiers!"

Prince Xuan brought at least five to six hundred men to attack them.

Jie Chen’s troops fought desperately in defense.

At that moment, two Snow Beasts intertwined and burst into the crowd.

Someone shouted, "The Snow Beasts are here to devour again! Shoot arrows quickly!"

However, these Snow Beasts seemed to understand and not only dodged back and forth effortlessly but also precisely targeted Prince Xuan’s soldiers, biting off their heads.

The two Snow Beasts roared, their voices reverberating through the mountains.

Xiang Yuanlang sat on a nearby tree, gently blowing on the leaves.

He saw Snow Beasts entering the camp, with five or six more rushing down from the slope.

Xiang Yuanlang put down the leaf, his dark eyes cold.

"Eat, this food is specially brought for you, enjoy it."

From the little guy’s waist pouch, a small, cat-like white Snow Beast poked its head out.

"Meow~" it mewled cutely.

Xiang Yuanlang rubbed its head: "Don’t worry, wait until your parents have eaten, then you can go. Otherwise, being so small, you might get hurt by horse hooves."

After speaking, he took out a piece of beef jerky that Xiang Ying had given him and placed it in the pouch.

The little Snow Beast crawled back into the bag and quietly gnawed on the beef jerky.

Xiang Yuanlang jumped down from the tree, still worried about the sick Xiang Ying.

Hoping she was alright!

Prince Xuan’s remaining troops gathered together, sensing something was wrong.

"It seems we are surrounded, these Snow Beasts act like they understand human speech, targeting only our men, and they’re aiding the Southern Yue people!"

"Oh no, these appear to be fierce beasts they’ve raised themselves, we’ve been tricked, retreat!"

Xiang Li spoke coldly: "They want to leave, release the fire arrows!"

As he spoke, countless water bandits stood up on the roofs.

They drew bows and shot arrows, each tipped with blazing fire, hitting one after another of Prince Xuan’s troops.

Once the arrows struck their bodies, flames instantly ignited their clothing.

Immediately, these men fell off their horses and rolled on the ground screaming.

Trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies with the snow.

A fierce battle, shaking the wilderness.

Xiang Ying didn’t know how long she had been asleep, but when she opened her eyes, the faint flickering of flames caught her peripheral vision.

And the sky was still dark as ever.

She moved slightly, feeling sore all over as if she had fallen apart.

"Hiss..."

Hearing her voice, a pair of large hands embraced her, helping her sit up.

"Awake?" Jie Chen’s voice came, and he touched her forehead, which was still severely feverish.

Xiang Ying stared at him blankly: "We... didn’t die?"

She remembered the last moment when Jie Chen held her and fell.

However, Xiang Ying looked around.

She found that they were in a shallow cave, she leaned forward to look, and below was still a bottomless cliff!

What happened?

Jie Chen explained: "We were lucky. When we fell, we encountered this natural cave."

"I used a rope to swing us into here. Fortunately, there are some twigs left by birds in the cave, but they can only support us for one night. We must find a way to get up after dawn, otherwise, we will freeze to death here."

Xiang Ying saw white mist continuously coming out of his mouth while he talked.

Then she realized that Jie Chen was only wearing a single-layered robe.

Where were the rest of his clothes?

She looked down, sure enough, they were covering her.

Xiang Ying hurriedly wanted to return the clothes to him.

"Put it on quickly, if you freeze to death, we won’t be able to get up."

Jie Chen pressed her hand: "Wear it, your clothes... are torn."

Xiang Ying was stunned and looked down.

It seems that due to rubbing against the dusty snow, the back of her clothes was almost completely shredded.

Her undergarment was long gone. Without wearing Jie Chen’s clothes, she would only have a bunch of rags left on her, and her bellyband could be faintly seen!

Xiang Ying wasn’t a squeamish person, she wasn’t embarrassed or awkward, just worried for Jie Chen.

"The night is still long, I wonder how Ah Xiong and the others are doing."

Jie Chen stirred the fire: "The sound of fighting stopped a moment ago, their situation should be better than ours."

He looked deeply at her: "You rest for a while."

Xiang Ying was indeed very tired, she felt her whole body burning hot, as if she was about to be cooked.

If it weren’t for her poor physical condition today, she would not have fallen down the cliff.

However, just as she was about to lie down, she sat up right away due to the pain from the wounds on her back, as if she had been electrocuted.

Jie Chen looked at her: "Does it hurt badly?"

Xiang Ying’s fair cheeks were flushed red, making her eyes look darker, seemingly filled with moisture.

She spoke weakly: "I’ll sleep leaning against something."

Jie Chen paused, seeing her in extra discomfort, he frowned as well.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Xiang Ying was also having her menstrual period.

With this thought, Jie Chen laid down and he reached out to pull Xiang Ying’s wrist.

The next moment, she was lying on his chest.

Xiang Ying half-awake opened her eyes: "What are you doing?"

Jie Chen’s voice was calm and steady: "You lie on me to sleep, so you don’t have to worry about back pain."

Xiang Ying was startled, and she gently lifted her head, their eyes meeting.

She must have been delirious from the fever to suddenly ask: "Jie Chen, do you like me, or do you like the elder princess?"

Jie Chen frowned.

What nonsense was she talking about?

Isn’t she the elder princess?

He pulled her down firmly: "Rest well, don’t ask nonsense."

Xiang Ying didn’t have the energy to fuss, otherwise, given her current position, she would definitely take advantage of the situation.

Jie Chen’s chest was exceptionally comforting, especially his strong heartbeat, which made Xiang Ying feel even more reassured.

She murmured: "Jie Chen, this is you letting me lie on top, don’t get angry with me about this later."

Jie Chen’s sharp brows stiffened.

That last ridiculous time, because she was on top and he was below, she had smiled several times while enjoying herself.

At that time, Jie Chen thought to himself that given the chance, he must strangle Xiang Ying to death.

And to do it with his own hands.

But now he thought—

Xiang Ying, get better soon.

You are too hot.

The last person as hot as her was his mother.

She had been ill for too long, enduring a day and a night of agony and pain before she died.

With that thought, Jie Chen tightened the clothes on Xiang Ying’s back.
