"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 95

 Somewhere else, Ji Ling Xue was being carried through the air, her gaze fell behind them every now and then, thinking of how long the toxin needed to work, she will research into it more on her return, this powder took too long to act.


When she had freed her hands of the rope bindings she had sprinkled some poisonous powder onto the rope secretly, waiting for some unfortunate person to touch it and be effected, she didn't think that person would be the perverted third prince, sadly the effects took some time, she couldn't see the affect.


Even if no one came to rescue her today, Ji Ling Xue believed, apart from that perverted third prince, she could very easily escape.


Her thoughts returned to the present, JI Ling Xue raised her head to look at the man behind the mask holding her, from her angle she could only see his sharp chin, even though she had an urge, she really wanted to rip of his mask to see his face, but thinking of their current situation, Ji Ling Xue restrained her urge.


Ji Ling Xue said: "Righteous person, thank you for saving me."


She didn't know what his name was, she only used "righteous person" in its place.


"It's fine, rescuing you was no effort." The man in the mask replied calmly and lightly.


What? Rescuing her was no effort, Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, this place was so hidden, was he basically saying he was merely passing by, there's no need to take it to heart?


"But I still need to thank you, I am princess Chen, you rescued me, I will repay you." Ji Ling Xue said very earnestly, she couldn't devote her life to him in return for saving her life, she was currently married.


"How do you want to repay me?" The man in the mask suddenly asked.


Ji Ling Xue very seriously thought about it saying: "I've opened a restaurant, from now on when you visit it'll be half price, no one has such a privilege."


Treating food as the heavens, this way of paying her benefactor was very sincere.


The man in the mask laughed twice, "It seems I've been swindled today."


JI Ling Xue smiled along with him, following which it vanished as she turned around to look back with unease.


"Don't worry, they won't come after us." The man in the mask said, his tone was full of confidence.


"Why are you so sure?" Ji Ling Xue asked.


The man in the mask said, "They didn't notice me secretly releasing your acupuncture points with leaves, the poisonous bees and your powder should give us some time, they wouldn't be able to come after us so quickly?"


Ji Ling Xue blinked, she didn't expect this person's martial arts to be so great, with just a few leaves he could release her acupuncture points, how did he do it.


Ji Ling Xue: "What has the poisonous bees got to do with them not following after us immediately, the bees were raised by them."


Good dogs didn't bite their masters, those bees were too inhumane!


The man in the mask said: "I cast a spell over the bees, they only listen to orders and not recognise people."


Ji Ling Xue, "...." She felt the man in front of her was terrifying, she should stay away from him.


It was silent for a while, Ji Ling Xue then said: "Why did you come to the mountain to rescue me, do you know me?"


The man in the mask glanced at Ji Ling Xue, "Of course I know, you are princess Chen."


While the two of them were speaking, suddenly it was like they hit something, the two of them fell from mid-air, there wasn't enough time for Ji Ling Xue to scream, her body was already rotating, being carried to the ground.


Ji Ling Xue rubbed her dizzy head, "What's the matter?"


A thick fog appeared in front of them, trees could not be seen ahead, she raised her head to look up, it was overcast.


The man in the mask halted in his steps, standing at the top of a tree he looked ahead for some time: "A spell has been laid down here."


She knew it wasn't going to be easy to leave the mountain.


Ji Ling Xue finally moved her attention away from the man in the mask, looking around she asked: "Then what should we do?" As expected, leaving the mountain wasn't easy,.


The man in the mask said: "Are you alright with staying here by yourself, I will look for a path."


Ji Ling Xue looked at the man in the mask with suspicion asking: "What if you don't come back, what should I do?"


The lips under the mask twitched, "I came to rescue you, how could I throw you away half way, it's not my style to leave something unfinished."


Ji Ling Xue still didn't look like she believed him, "I don't even know who you are, how can I believe in what you say?"


The man in the mask sighed, raising his hand to slowly remove his mask, Ji Ling Xue saw a familiar face...


In a cave somewhere else, the third prince laid on the tiger skin covered stone with his eyes tightly closed, around him was three rings of people, each one anxiously waiting for him to wake, a helpless group without a leader.


The poisonous bees had suddenly lost control and attacked them, making them helpless in the face of a crisis, some inattentive subordinates had lost consciousness, their doctor was just detoxifying them.


The doctor has also come to see the third prince, but couldn't tell the reason for his unconsciousness from taking his pulse, he felt the third prince was just too tired.


The third prince had slept for an entire four hours, when he opened his eyes his first words were: "Where are those two people?"


He was a grand prince who was actually plotted against, this debt had to be paid


"They are still in the trap set by Doctor Li." One of his bodyguards replied.


The third prince raised his eyebrows breathing out: "Doctor Li is really an outstanding wise person, with such a trap it won't be hard to kill them."


The next moment, his eyebrows locked together, "But...that crafty prince Chen really won't take the risk for a woman, he still hasn't appeared now...he really is a coward!"


Inside the trap, Ji Ling Xue kicked the stones on the ground out of boredom, raising her head to look at the stars in the sky, waiting for time to past always dragged on like this.


Ji Ling Xue said, "Why hasn't he come back, he can't have been caught by that perverted prince's men?"


Just now the man had taken off his mask to reveal his real face, behind the mask was a face she was familiar with, Ru Ge, this bodyguard who had only joined halfway and didn't know the ins and outs of what was happening.


She had rescued Ru Ge once before, now he had risked death to rescue her, this favour ought to have been paid in full, Ji Ling Xue was rather regretful that she had offered Ru Ge half price if he went to her Qingfengyashe, she really was very scared this foodie would bankrupt her.


Ji Ling Xue looked around, picking up a slightly larger stone from the ground, Ru Ge said this trap was very strong, you can lose your life with a wrong move, she wanted to see how strong this trap was.


Thinking of this, Ji Ling Xue used her strength to throw the stone, the next moment Ji Ling Xue had her mouth wide in surprise, she saw that stone freeze in mid-air, then with a whoosh, the stone immediately turned into dust blown away by the wind.


Ji Ling Xue patted her startled chest, it really was thrilling!


Fortunately she was very obedient, she didn't wonder off.


Here, the third prince had just finished scolding Xiao Yi Chen, the next moment there was noise outside, "It's not good, there's a fire!"


The third prince stood up walking to the entrance of the cave, he saw a fire spreading halfway up the mountain, the intensity of the fire quickly spread into a dragon shape.


The third prince made a fist angrily shouting: "What is happening, why would there suddenly be a fire?" When he finished speaking he took large strides forward.


Xiao Yi Chen with Chi Feng and others stood at the bottom of the mountain watching the sudden large fire halfway up the mountain in confusion, he hadn't gone up the mountain yet, the mountain was already in chaos by itself?


Chi Feng said: "Prince, what should we do next?"


Xiao Yi Chen ordered, "Block every exit, this prince wants to capture the mastermind alive."


They dared to kidnap his woman, they were ready to lose their head.


Chi Feng replied "yes" loudly and clearly, he didn't need Xiao Yi Chen to say anymore, he turned around organising their ambush.


The sky darkened even more, most of the fire halfway up the mountain had died out, Ji Ling Xue sat on a fallen tree watching the fire then at the sky, rubbing her stomach she sighed, she was so hungry, if she carried on starving she would have no energy to escape.


Ru Ge returned as he said with the devil mask on, his hand held an almost charred rabbit meat, "Just now when I lit the fire I saw a rabbit, I guessed you must be hungry, so I brought it back for you."


Ji Ling Xue pinched her nose turning her head away, no matter how hungry she got she would not eat a charred rabbit, especially as this rabbit had died so miserably, she had no appetite.


"You eat it yourself." Ji Ling Xue waved her hand, shunning it.


The trap had not been broken, there was no way for her to leave the mountain, her mood wasn't good, she had no appetite.


Ru Ge said: "Just now that fire was just a cover, the trap has already been broken, we still have half the way to go, you won't eat anything to line your stomach, don't blame me for not looking after you."


Looking at the devil mask in front of her, Ji Ling Xue curled her lips, after knowing his identity, she was blunt in the way she spoke to him, "Don't worry I won't blame you, my appetite just isn't good."


Ji Ling Xue again stared at the devil mask for a while, "I have a question..."


After she had seen his face, there was a question which kept on going around in her head.


The man in the mask turned to look at Ji Ling Xue indicating for her to speak, he however continued to skin the burnt fur off the rabbit.


Ji Ling Xue asked: "You know that third prince of Dayan?"


The man in the mask stopped, glancing at Ji Ling Xue, he lowered his head then continued with his task, his secret couldn't be spoken.


Ji Ling Xue's lips turned down, it seems like she had guessed right.


"Since you know him, you still set fire to his mountain?"


The man in the mask once again stopped what he was doing, looking at Ji Ling Xue in surprise: "If I don't set a fire how do we lure the people down from the top of the mountain, how do we break the trap, how do we let the people at the bottom of the mountain know what was happening on the mountain?"


Ji Ling Xue blinked, suddenly standing up to look down the mountain, the moon and stars only allowed her to see the shapes of a lot of trees, a dense darkness.


Ji Ling Xue felt disappointed, it seem Xiao Yi Chen had no plans on saving her, fortunately she had a good bodyguard.


Ji Ling Xue took a glance out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the man in the mask tear apart the half cooked roasted rabbit leg and began eating, the scene was too bloody, Ji Ling Xue couldn't help her lips from twitching.


Ji Ling Xue: "Why do you have no standard when it comes to eating?"


Ru Ge gave a bitter laugh: "If you were thrown into the mountain for three days and nights, even if you ate live insects, it's better than starving, there's only hope if you live on."


Ji Ling Xue looked at Ru Ge with sympathy, she didn't think he would have experienced something so horrible.


The man in the mask laughed, lowering his head to continue eating, the rabbit leg in his hand was snatched away.


Ji Ling Xue said: "Seeing as you saved me, I'll let you try my culinary skills." As she spoke she used the materials at hand to start a fire and began to roast the meat.


He watched Ji Ling Xue pick some unknown grass to wipe its juice onto the meat, she used tree bark as seasoning, Ru Ge couldn't help open his mouth to say: "Where did you learn this from? Tree bark is also seasoning?"


Ji Ling Xue used a blade to peel the tree bark explaining: "This is a sour fruit tree, people chop the trees down to use the tree bark for food, it can be stir-fried and eaten on its own, and can be used as seasoning in other dishes."


Very soon as expected an enticing smell came from the rabbit meat, the fat and juices dripping on to the firewood with a  sizzle, the man in the mask gave a thumbs up: "It smells so good."


Ru Ge said: "When I'm done eating can we leave the mountain, I miss the bed Mo Xiang laid out."


Ji Ling Xue blinked, an inquisitive look on her face, "Your relationship with Mo Xiang is very good?" That girl only treated her well, recently she actually laid out a bed for a man?


Ru Ge didn't speak, a cold and unhurried voice came from behind him, "This prince has finally caught up to you, you even have the time to leisurely roast meat, hehe, you burned down half of this prince's mountain, tell me how should you pay this debt?"


In a split second, Ru Ge and Ji Ling Xue were surrounded, the third prince with a black face said with gritted teeth.


Ji Ling Xue said, "Third prince, your constitution isn't bad, you woke up so quickly!"


Recalling he had fainted for no reason, the third prince looked at Ji Ling Xue with alertness, this woman was poisonous all over, he had to be more careful.


Ru Ge wasn't scared of this situation at all, he continued to nibble on the rabbit leg in his hand, nothing was more important than filling his stomach, only after eating would he have the strength to fight.


Ji Ling Xue saw the man in the mask wasn't nervous at all, thinking Xiao Yi Chen might come soon, she also relaxed, facing the third prince with a delighted expression.


The third prince swept his gaze over Ji Ling Xue to Ru Ge in the devil mask, "Who are you, how do you know the way to control the poisonous bees?"


Ru Ge threw the bone onto the ground, not showing the other person any emotion, he walked to Ji Ling Xue, whispering in her ear: "Protect yourself well in a moment."


Ji Ling Xue blinked, excitement filled her eyes, were they going to fight?


JI Ling Xue said: "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you." Although she had no mysterious martial arts skills, she could still protect herself.


Ru Ge nodded, his left hand pulling on Ji Ling Xue's arm, right hand made an unexpected move with his sword breaking the circle around them.


Ji Ling Xue followed closely behind the man in the mask, not letting herself fall behind.


Facing a sudden blade, Ji Ling Xue dodged, or immediately cried out for help, the man in the mask would immediately block the blade for her, continuing forward with her.


While the fighting was lively here, the third prince took the short bow passed to him, aiming the arrowhead at the man in the mask's heart, releasing it, the short arrow was fired out with a whoosh.


When Ji Ling Xue turned around and noticed it the short arrow was already right in front of her eyes, in a moment of desperation she pushed the man in the mask forward, the short arrow brushed by the man in the mask's arm without piercing him and into the darkness.


Ji Ling Xue turned around to scatter white powder towards the third prince, she had timed it in the direction the wind was blowing, shortly a white smoke covered the area, it wasn't possible to see clearly, scaring the third prince so much he covered his face hurriedly.


Taking advantage of this moment, the man in the mask's sword pierced the stomach of the person blocking their way, pulling Ji Ling Xue by the arm into the depths of the trees.


The white smoke dispersed, the third prince angrily shook out his wide sleeves, a breeze swept by, scaring the bodyguards near him to hold their breaths.


The third prince viciously said: "Damn it, there's no poison to this powder, we were tricked by them, they've escaped again...give chase for this prince, I want to see them alive or dead!"


The attendants beside him responded simultaneously, leaving six people behind to protect the prince, the others split into two groups to take the small paths to go after Ji Ling Xue.
