Chapter 290: Chapter 289: If the Prince Sees it with His Own Eyes

Leng Ji looked at Chu Qianli, his voice somewhat hoarse, "We’ve been searching this cliff for a long time, and simply can’t find a way down."

Suddenly, with a thud, he knelt before Chu Qianli, "Miss, I beg you to save the Prince!"

Chu Qianli is an Immortal!

When everyone else was out of ideas, Leng Ji believed that she must have a solution!

She could create many miracles!

She had saved the Prince from the brink of death before, and she definitely could now!

Chu Qianli was Leng Ji’s only hope now.

"You get up first, don’t kneel to me, I’m not dead yet."

Chu Qianli approached the edge of the cliff.

It was broad daylight now, but below was pitch black, nothing could be seen.

This showed how deep it was!

Could a person who fell from such a depth truly have a chance to survive?

"Before he fell, did he... did he get hurt?" Chu Qianli asked this as she clenched her palm tightly.

Her heart was in turmoil.

Leng Ji felt even worse, his voice hoarse, "I saw from a distance, the Prince... the Prince was bitten by a Medicine Man..."

Chu Qianli tightly closed her eyes.

Those Medicine Men were poisonous!

No matter how robust he was, how much could he withstand?

Poisoned and injured, and then falling off the cliff... she didn’t dare to believe it.

"Ali, maybe..."

"I’m fine."

When she opened her eyes again, there was no longer any emotion at the bottom of Chu Qianli’s eyes.

During battle, one must not be disturbed.

Once the heart is disturbed, accurate and correct judgments can no longer be made.

"I have to go down and take a look."

"Ali!" Fu Long knew she was worried, but they had not yet found a way down.

Going down from here, one could be killed at any moment!

Even he dared not act rashly; if a girl like her went, wouldn’t it be seeking death?

"I have a way."

Chu Qianli walked behind a clump of grass not far away, and after a while, she dragged back something huge.

"Miss, what is this?" Leng Ji asked with a face full of surprise.

Fu Long didn’t ask, though he also didn’t know what it was, but he knew it must be something from her era.

Chu Qianli didn’t explain, and instructed Fu Long to come over and help.

It wasn’t long before the hot air balloon was inflated.

The surrounding brothers, one by one, were stunned.

However, everyone was concerned for the Prince’s safety, so they didn’t think or ask too much.

But could this thing really go down?

"How do we use it?" Fu Long approached Chu Qianli, stating firmly, "Teach me, and I’ll go down to take a look."

"You won’t be able to control it, only I can."

Chu Qianli stepped into the wicker basket.

"Then I’ll go with you!" The wicker basket wasn’t small; it looked like it could fit him—a big man—too.

"No, I’m using this for the first time and am not yet skilled. If there’s a mishap, both of us could fall to our deaths."

"You know that a mishap could kill people!"

Fu Long was somewhat angry, she knew the danger, didn’t she?

"Do you still dare to be reckless! For him, are you willing to disregard even your own life?"

Chu Qianli didn’t know what to say.

In her heart, Feng Yexuan wasn’t important, he definitely wasn’t important.

She was just... just obeying the imperial command, that’s all.

It really wasn’t because she cared too much!

"Fu Long, I don’t have time to explain, tell the brothers to find a way down and have some of them stay here to back us up,"

She pressed the hydrogen switch, and the hot air balloon began to rise slowly off the ground.

"Ali..."

"Trust me, it’s going to be alright." The hot air balloon was already off the ground.

Chu Qianli controlled the direction and when the hot air balloon reached mid-cliff, she released some hydrogen, causing the balloon to begin its slow descent.

Fu Long and Leng Ji watched with trepidation.

It was really too dangerous; could this thing actually descend slowly to the bottom of the cliff?

If something were to happen midway... Too terrifying to even think about.

Leng Ji was so moved he nearly cried.

If the Prince witnessed this scene, he would undoubtedly be deeply touched as well.

The Princess, for the Prince’s sake, was willing to risk her own life.

In all the world, aside from her, Chu Qianli, who else was qualified to be their family’s Princess?

Chu Qianli paid no mind to the thoughts of the people above her.

She controlled the amount of hydrogen in the balloon to increase the speed of descent.

Modern technology was wonderful, even hot air balloons no longer needed a flame to operate like in the past.

Using fire for control could easily be affected by the weather, always risking an accident.

Using hydrogen for control was comparatively safe.

As long as no one shot the balloon with an arrow midway, it should be of a quality to ensure her safety.

Still, she couldn’t afford to be careless, for fear of being discovered and pierced by a cold arrow.

As the balloon slowly descended, everything at the bottom of the cliff gradually came to light.

Unexpectedly, once they had descended deep enough, the base of this cliff turned out to be a world unto itself!

She immediately controlled the descent of the balloon, spotted a giant boulder between the cliffs, and carefully directed the balloon towards it.

After a bit of adjustment, the balloon’s basket came to rest on a protruding stone.

The hot air balloon was stored away in her space.

Chu Qianli peered down from the rock and vaguely saw some movement.

It was indeed a Medicine Man’s stronghold.

However, compared to the one at Heifeng Cliff, it was obviously not particularly large.

From this distance, it was too far to see clearly how many Medicine Men were down below.

Using the elasticity of the Heavenly Silkworm Silk, she carefully moved closer to the bottom of the cliff.

The closer she got to the cliff base, the more intense the rotten stench and accompanying it, a chilling aura of death.

She continued to use the Heavenly Silkworm Silk to hook onto rocks, cautiously searching for a path downward.

But Chu Qianli soon sensed something was off.

That decaying smell seemed to be not far from her vicinity.

Indeed, a stone nearby suddenly moved.

There were Medicine Men lying in ambush here!

Because their aura was different from ordinary Medicine Men, Chu Qianli had not detected them right away.

By the time she did, the two Medicine Men were already very close!

With a whoosh, the one nearest lunged at her.

Chu Qianli’s pupils constricted, and she immediately dodged backwards.

But she didn’t dare move too much; she was on the edge of a precipice, and one careless move could lead her to fall and shatter to pieces!

Chu Qianli cherished her life, but those Medicine Men did not.

After lunging over, seemingly unafraid of falling themselves, they opened their mouths to bite her.

They were those completely devoid of self-consciousness!

Chu Qianli’s heart tightened, and she took up her dagger, ready to slash at the Medicine Man.

But although the Medicine Man had lost his consciousness, the combat instincts honed over time were strong.

Dodging to the side, he then opened his dark maw, revealing sinister teeth, as he crazily bit at her again.

The other Medicine Man also lunged at her, like a wild beast roaming a valley.

Opening his mouth, he bit at Chu Qianli, completely sealing off all her routes of advance and retreat!
