The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1243 - 1243 608 couple (2 watches)

Chapter 1243: 608 couple (2 watches) Chapter 1243: 608 couple (2 watches) He moved as fast as lightning, fierce as a Jiaolong, grabbing the large tree that was crushing Xuanping and hurling it away with tremendous force!

Xuanping had already prepared himself to die, and he wondered if death felt like this? Light as a feather?

What happened to the large tree? And the surging mudslide?

He heard the noises, but wasn’t he supposed to be crushed to death, suffocated beneath them?

As Xuanping puzzled over this, he felt a powerful presence sweeping towards him. Despite his age, Xuanping never conceded that anyone else was stronger than him. To have such a feeling, it was evident how profound the other person’s martial skills were.

Moreover, this presence felt somewhat familiar.

But on second thought, that seemed impossible.

Before Xuanping could figure out whether this was reality or a hallucination after death, someone swiftly scooped him off the ground!

The utterly confused Xuanping: “…”

Xiao Hen’s heart was nearly jumping out of his throat, but then he witnessed an exhilarating scene, and he let out a long sigh of relief, “Long Yi!”

The moment Long Yi carried Xuanping and flew off, the mudslide rolled in furiously, almost instantly engulfing the entire village.

The mudslide chased after Long Yi, whose lightness skill was unrivaled. Every time he was about to be overwhelmed, he would tap on the treetops with the tips of his feet. He flew away, and the trees were swallowed.

He then stopped on a rooftop, and with another leap, he ascended again, as the rooftop too was devoured.

This was a contest with King Hades himself.

Xiao Hen could no longer see their figures, but he believed that Long Yi’s skills would surely outrun the mudslide.

It wasn’t just a village that the mudslide devoured, but even the Official Road where Xiao Hen was also became its prey.

It was like a millennia-old beast that had been awakened, opening its gaping maw behind Xiao Hen.

Xiao Hen tucked the baby tight in his arms and gripped the reins firmly with both hands.

Stones fell continuously along the way, many horses would have panicked and run off in all directions, but Xuanping’s mount did not.

It was a king among warhorses that had been through heavy battles; it remained calm amid danger, well-trained, agile, and dodged every rock with precision.

Xiao Hen didn’t need to whip the horse. As an instinct to avoid natural disasters, it had already reached its maximum speed.

The mudslide was relentlessly pursuing them, and just when it seemed about to swallow them whole, its eyes sharp as knives, its hind legs kicked off the ground, and it leapt into the air!

Xiao Hen watched the broken bridge and the flowing water below, his heart leaping into his throat once more.

If they couldn’t make it across—

They made it across successfully!

The mudslide crashed into the raging river!

Xiao Hen looked back, his heart still racing as he saw the mudslide that had almost caught up with them, his body drenched in cold sweat.

The warhorse carried Xiao Hen as they galloped back through the rain.

Meanwhile, Xuanping and Long Yi were in a more perilous situation than Xiao Hen’s. After all, the village was at a lower altitude and in the main path of the mudslide, and they couldn’t get to the Official Road but had to run towards the mountains on the other side of the village.

Liao Quan was on one of those mountain peaks at this time.

Xiao Hen had originally left him on the mountain top, asking him to wait there and not wander off. But after regaining some strength, worried about Xiao Hen, he went down the mountain to look for him.

He had just reached the foot of the mountain when he heard the sound of a landslide, and realizing something was amiss, he quickly turned and ran back up.

But the mudslide surged over just as he had run halfway up the slope.

Just as he was about to be swept away and buried, a whip cracked through the air, wrapping tightly around Liao Quan’s midsection.

Liao Quan looked up and his eyes lit up.

It was Gu Jiao!

Gu Jiao, holding the rope with one hand and wrapping Liao Quan with the whip in her other hand, looked up to the person above and said, “Pull us up!”

Gu Chengfeng swiftly pulled on the rope, hoisting Gu Jiao and Liao Quan up to the mountain top!

Gu Jiao looked at Liao Quan, whom she had yanked up, with a satisfied gleam in her eyes.

She had finally experienced the same thrill as when Gu Chengfeng had rescued Tang Yueshan with a whip onto the City Tower in Yuegu City. She had thought it looked fun at the time.

The upside-down Liao Quan hanging on a tree branch: So, next time, can I come up right-side up?

Gu Jiao had only learned to use a whip for a few days and was still a bit unskilled. Liao Quan had been whisked up upside down, feeling his head swell with blood.

Gu Chengfeng’s face darkened.

I said I would go down and I meant it! Must you always go yourself?

Of course, he understood that Gu Jiao’s actions weren’t just for fun; going down there meant facing the imminent danger of being swallowed by the mudslide. This girl always took risks upon herself.

She hadn’t even planned to bring him along this time; he had just happened to come across her leaving the house and followed.

“Who are you looking down on, you brat?”
