Chapter 122: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Since Wen Yunqiu's initial target was the horse, even though Wen Yang reacted, the horse didn't have time to take a step. Because of the pain and fright, it spread its hooves and ran forward the next second.
Wen Yang gripped the reins tightly, trying to control the horse, but the horse, raging with pain, was now out of control. No matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't stop the horse. And ahead, they were already nearing the edge of a cliff...
In this situation, Wen Yang took a deep breath, then pulled the reins hard and leaned back, trying to stop the horse with his body weight.
Song Yizi, who was lying on his horse with an arrow in his chest, saw this scene, forced himself to stand up, raised his bow, and prepared to shoot another arrow at the butt of the horse that Wen Yang was riding, so that the horse would shake even more violently.
There was an unconcealable malice in his eyes at this moment. After all, the first arrow was shot by Princess Yongming. Even if Wen Yang accidentally fell off the cliff and died under the weight of his horse, it could be said that it was Princess Yongming who caused it... It had nothing to do with him...
When he raised the bow, there was even a hint of a crazy smile on Song Yizi's face.
However, the next second, his arm was ruthlessly pierced by an arrow.
Because it happened so quickly, Song Yizhi didn't feel the pain at first. It wasn't until he lowered his eyes and saw the arrow stuck in his arm that he let out a terrifying scream and fell off the horse. As luck would have it, the horse's hind hoof kicked him in the chest. At that moment, Song Yizhi felt the bones in his chest... cracked...
"Yizi!" Seeing Song Yizi injured, Wen Yunqiu immediately rode his horse towards Song Yizi.
However, before she could run to Song Yizi, her horse's butt was hit by an arrow.
In an instant, the horse under her also went crazy because of the pain. Wen Yunqiu's riding skills were not as good as Wen Yang's, so she only held on for a short while before being thrown off by the mad horse and kicked in the head, causing her to faint.
Seeing this, Ling Han withdrew the longbow in his hand with a stern expression and rode his horse at full speed towards Wen Yang.
Although Wen Yang managed to hold the horse with his own weight at this moment, the horse had already reached the edge of the cliff, and the grass and trees in this area were very lush and green. Perhaps because of this reason, the land at the edge was a little loose.
Just as Wen Yang was about to steer his stable horse back a little, he suddenly heard a cracking sound...
A crack suddenly appeared in the ground at the edge of the cliff.
Ling Han, who was riding a horse not far away, also heard the dangerous sound.
He immediately shouted, "Your Highness, jump on your horse and get out of there!"
But just as he finished speaking, the rocks on the edge of the cliff cracked under the heavy pressure, and the ground under Wen Yang's feet began to collapse.
The horse's entire body tilted towards the cliff, and Wen Yang was also tilted towards the cliff...
Because of the effect of gravity, she couldn't jump over the horse even if she wanted to.
Fortunately, Wen Yang subconsciously reached out and grabbed a branch while falling, which allowed him to stop for a while. However, this branch was not very thick, and apart from this, there was no other place on the cliff to gain leverage.
Wen Yang glanced around, thinking pessimistically: In this situation, she might not be able to hold out until Ling Han finds the tools to save her. She had just made some progress on the strategy, and now she's going to die...
Wen Yang sighed silently in his heart.
Suddenly, the system triggered a pop-up window prompt: [Host, there is an item called Diamond Pill in the mall. Once you take it, you will be invulnerable to swords and guns for an hour, and you will be able to withstand blows and falls! You won't die even if you fall off a cliff.]
The system prompted and enthusiastically pushed the mall interface to Wen Yang.
Hearing this, Wen Yang suddenly regained her will to survive. However, when she looked closely, she realized that one Diamond Pill cost 500 points...
If Wen Yang were to buy it herself under normal circumstances, she would definitely not consider spending so many points to buy an item that could only last for an hour.
But at this critical moment, these 500 points could buy her life, so she bought it without hesitation.
As the points in the upper right corner decreased, a pill appeared in Wen Yang's hand. She ate it immediately, but even so, she was still a little afraid to let go of the small branch.
Although the system says that taking this will make you resistant to blows and falls, and you won't die even if you fall off a cliff, it's still a fall from a high altitude after all, so it's impossible not to panic at all.
Just as she was hesitating whether to let go of the branch and accept the free fall, she saw a figure like a strong wind leaping towards her from the edge of the cliff.
When she saw that the person who jumped off the cliff was Ling Han, her eyes widened in shock.
Ling Han only has a 50% favorability rating towards her, why is it like this?
She had taken the Vajra Pill, so she wouldn't die from the fall, but it was different for Ling Han. If Ling Han fell, he would definitely be smashed to pieces!
Before Wen Yang could figure it out, the branch in her hand suddenly made a sound of being overwhelmed, and then broke...
Wen Yang's body fell heavily down, and the whistling mountain wind came to his ears.
But before long, the feeling of falling weightlessness stopped, because Ling Han swooped down and grabbed her into his arms...
Although Wen Yang had taken the Vajra Pill, the stimulation brought by the weightlessness still made her face a little pale.
She looked up at Ling Han with some shock, and then she realized that Ling Han had temporarily stopped falling by inserting a short knife into the crevice of the cliff.
This action caused the wound on Ling Han's left arm, which had been bandaged just yesterday, to split open again, and a blood-red flower seeped out of the bandage.
And this is not a long-term solution after all. If he runs out of strength, Ling Han will still fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.
Thinking of this, Wen Yang immediately summoned the mall again, wanting to buy another Vajra Pill for Ling Han to take.
When she clicked to buy, she found a message in the store: [Each item can only be purchased once a day. The number of times you can purchase Diamond Pills today is 0.]
Wen Yang: “…”
The fear that Ling Han would fall to his death because of the failed item purchase instantly gripped Wen Yang's heart. With tears in her eyes, she demanded, "Why did you jump down to save me?! Wouldn't it be better for you to just stay up there and live well?"
"If I don't come down, I'm afraid Your Highness will be scared... and I said I will protect Your Highness..." Ling Han squeezed out these words from his throat with difficulty.
After all, he not only had to use the dagger to stabilize the weight of the two people falling, but one of his hands also had to firmly hold Wen Yang to prevent her from falling.
After hearing Ling Han's words, Wen Yang felt a lump in his throat and tears began to roll down his cheeks uncontrollably.
Even if she fell down on her own without the Diamond Pill, she could accept it calmly.
But she couldn't accept that her momentary negligence would lead to others dying with her...
So Wen Yang hugged Ling Han tightly and silently made up her mind that if Ling Han couldn't hold on any longer, she would definitely be the one on the bottom. This way, she could still serve as a cushion for Ling Han and give him a chance of survival.
Ling Han was hugged tightly by Wen Yang, but he had no idea what Wen Yang was thinking at the moment. He just thought Wen Yang was holding him so tightly because he was scared, so he whispered to him, "Don't be afraid, Your Highness. Hold on to me."
After saying that, Ling Han took the initiative to let go of the dagger in his hand.
