Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Black Moon continued to push the motionless body. A few minutes of silence passed, and he began to feel scared. When the sky rumbled and a loud bang sounded, he let out a terrified neigh. He was so scared that he was shaking all over and couldn't walk out of the cave to seek help.

He paced around anxiously, continuing to poke his friend. When he encountered something cold but familiar, like her soft caress, he licked it. It was strange. Her touch was always warm, never cold.

Time passed by, and the air around him became colder and colder. Until now, he still didn't hear any sound.

All hopes were lost.

With every push, his friend became more indifferent. No help came. He had a feeling that everything was wrong. Black Moon was helpless and crossed his legs.

He had felt this fear before—when his mother had died. This was strange because he felt it again. This time it was his friend's.

The only comfort he could offer was being with his friend. He slowly fell to the ground until his body was in direct contact with hers.

Kurozuki slowly closed his eyes and leaned his head against the person who was caressing him gently.

If she was going to die, he would go with her.

Yu Zhen uttered all kinds of vicious curses and turned left and right frantically. At this time, the lantern was completely soaked and the light was extinguished. He lost his way in the relentless rain.

Xiao Lizi snorted and stamped the ground, as if scolding him.

“I know.” Yu Zhen whispered. He threw the useless lantern and the umbrella he brought to the ground. They were useless now. Both materials were completely soaked.

When Xiao Lizi heard his answer, she whined. She turned hesitantly and walked in the direction they came from.

"We can't go back, you know." Yu Zhen said angrily. His fingers tightened around the leather reins. "Not while she's out there."

Yu Zhen sighed in frustration. The rain weighed down on him, but he didn't care. Even if it pulled his hair and soaked his clothes. None of that mattered.

If he was having a hard time, it was hard to imagine what his woman was going through. His blood had been boiling with anger, but now it was cold with fear.

He closed his eyes in agony as the memory of her came back to him. It was more painful than a stinging rainstorm. Her cheerful laughter and suppressed smile. Her quick steps, her slender fingers gracefully lifting the teacup to her rosy lips.

He took a breath.

He remembered her incredible strength when she swung her sword at him, a blow so powerful it caught him off guard.

Then he thought of her tiny figure. Her thin shoulders, which looked like they would break at any moment. The look in her eyes when she panicked. How glassy she was.

"Fuck." Yu Zhen sighed. Li Xueyue was dying. He had given her his heart, and placed it in her hands. But now, she had slipped through his fingers.

"We must continue," Yu Zhen demanded. He urged Xiao Lizi forward until Xiao Lizi trotted for a while before suddenly rushing out.

He had no idea where he was going. He wanted nothing more than to walk deeper into the forest. All he needed was a sign. Anything. Please.

Yu Zhen calculated the distance to the border of his huge country in one day. The closest place was the outskirts of the capital. The farthest place? The town before the capital.

Yu Zhen gritted his teeth. He gave her the most powerful item in the entire country. It wasn’t a weapon that could cut a person in half. It wasn’t a poison that could massacre a town overnight. It was his pendant.

The key to this country is that one thing. Its uses are endless. All she has to do is show the pendant to her family and she will be treated like a VIP.

Xiao Lizi stopped suddenly.

"What is it?" Yu Zhen was furious. He didn't have time for her now. She was the fastest horse the whole country had ever seen. But like her master, her temperament was not the best.

His ray of sunshine was somewhere in the forest. For all he knew, she might be shedding tears and asking for help. The thought broke his heart. His body was frozen with fear. Was she alone and scared? Was she wandering through the forest, nearly falling off her horse from fatigue? Was she hungry?

Many scenes flashed through his mind.

Yu Zhen had never felt this kind of fear before - the fear of losing the one he loved. He didn't think he could feel this feeling.

"We have to continue," Yu Zhen said. Seeing that Xiao Lizi ignored him, he raised his eyebrows impatiently.

Xiao Lizi raised his head and looked around.

Yu Zhen pursed his lips. He began to observe the surroundings, but saw nothing. Did she hear the sound of branches breaking? He heard no sound, nor did he feel the presence of anyone.

Xiao Lizi's head turned straight, and he turned straight too. Yu Zhen narrowed his eyes. He couldn't even see anything except the outstretched arms. Then he heard it. The sound was so faint that it was almost inaudible.

Yu Zhen originally thought it was from Xiao Lizi. She loved to complain, but this was different. A sigh—so small that he almost mistook it for the whistling wind.

"I heard it too." Yu Zhen said to Ma.

Yu Zhen didn't know where he was.

He ran for miles, soaking his body from head to toe in the rain. But one thing was certain. He knew the country like the back of his hand.

Yu Zhen crossed this land, stepped on this land, defended his motherland, won glory for Han Jian, and expanded the territory. This country should be his.

Yu Zhen knew the way back, even though each direction looked the same. That was why he urged his horse through the forest.

"Let's go." Yu Zhen ordered.

Little Lizi didn't need to be told a second time. She ran at thunderous speed to where her master urged her to go.

Halfway through the run, things got even harder. The sound had died down. It was no longer audible. And then there was no second sound.

But Yu Zhen had already determined the location. How could he forget the cave? He was very confident in himself.

She will be there.

He just knew it.

So why was his stomach twisting uncomfortably?

Yu Zhen had never felt fear before. Never felt fear before. Something was wrong. He had a feeling that everything was wrong. It was as if there was no joy in this world.

Yu Zhen refused to trust his instincts, but he knew. With every fiber of his being he knew what was about to happen.

The only joy in his life was Li Xueyue. Feeling that it was gone meant only one thing.

Yu Zhen always believed in himself. His plans had never failed him before, and they would not fail him now. As he expected, they came to a familiar sight - the small cave he had stumbled upon before.

"Just as small as I remembered," he whispered as he climbed down from his horse. He observed the small cave hidden in the dense trees of the soggy forest.

There was something wrong with this place. He remembered that the opening was a little shorter than he was. It was a perfect size for Leo, and perhaps for a slightly larger horse.

“Xueyue?” Yu Zhen shouted in the cave, not knowing whether she was hiding inside, trembling for her life. But no one responded. And it was too dark in the cave, and he couldn’t see clearly.

Yu Zhen pursed his lips. If she had been in there, she would have said something. He would have heard the vibration of her clothes or her quiet breathing as she slept. But there was nothing.

There was no sound.

"Damn it," Yu Zhen cursed. He clenched his teeth and stared at the ground.

She is not here.

If not here, then where?

The only shelter in this forest is this little cave. Where else can she hide? Will she really appear at one of the neighboring sounds?

Yu Zhen frowned. He didn't think he had heard wrong.

He had better ears than most. He had trained his body and senses to be better than most. But maybe the rain was playing tricks on him, just like the heavens.

His fingers curled into fists. If she wasn't here, then where was she?

What if...she was unconscious on the forest floor? The mere thought of it was enough to make him shudder.

Yu Zhen exhaled tremblingly. He didn't want to waste any more time in this useless cave.

He needed to find his Xueyue. As soon as possible.

Yu Zhen ignored the rain that blurred his vision. He ignored his soaking wet clothes. The howling wind did not affect him. The mud pressing against his boots did not weigh him down. He approached with his back to Xiao Lizi.

It's time to continue looking elsewhere.
