Shiji looked down and saw that the woman had closed her eyes. He gently washed the dirt off her face with water and found that she was extremely beautiful.

She has curved eyebrows, a straight nose, long eyelashes, slightly rosy cheeks, a cherry-like mouth, an oval face as crystal as jade, and skin as smooth as snow, dazzlingly white.

All this shows that this woman is from an extraordinary family. But who is she? If she has a prominent family background, why is she being hunted down?

Shiji was curious, but the more important thing now was how to wake up the unconscious woman. He felt her breath, which was weak and disordered, and took her pulse, which was also disorderly.

"Carrier pigeon elf, what happened to her?" Shiji asked worriedly.

"Hmm..." The pigeon spirit circled around him for a few times, thought for a moment and said, "She seems to be injured."

"Injured?" Shiji gently lifted the woman's clothes and found a serious wound on her abdomen.

Blood continued to flow out, staining a large area of ​​the blue dress red, and flowed down her lower abdomen, making her already fair skin look even whiter.

Shiji tore off his own collar and bandaged the woman's wound, tying it with just the right tightness to stop the bleeding without being too tight.

The woman in his arms had a frown on her face, as if she had experienced something horrible in her dream. She kept muttering to herself, "No, no, I don't want the throne at all. Why are you trying to hurt me? Stay away from me..." As she spoke, she actually started to cry.

"Okay, okay, I won't hurt you anymore. I won't hurt you anymore." Shiji gently pinched her eyebrows and comforted her patiently, and the woman's emotions gradually stabilized.

The throne? To harm her? It seemed that the person who harmed her was someone she knew. But what about this throne? Shiji was puzzled, but she had to put it aside and wait for the girl to wake up before asking.

"Hey, look at that girl, she's so beautiful! If I could marry her, hehe, I would wake up laughing in my dreams." A warrior said with a smile.

"Don't think about it. Look at whose arms she is in now. She is in Shiji's arms! Shiji is much more handsome than you, and much stronger than you. Which fool would choose you instead of him?" said another warrior disdainfully.

"Why are you like this? Can't I just think about it? You have to attack me." The warrior said with dissatisfaction, pouting.

"I'm just reminding you to stop daydreaming. Don't you think about your own worth and whether you are worthy of her?" the warrior retorted.

"Hey, do you want to fight?" The daydreaming warrior became annoyed, rolled up his sleeves, put one hand on his waist, and pointed at the warrior's nose with the other hand.

"Come on, I'm at your service anytime." Another warrior was not to be outdone. He rolled up his sleeves, put one hand on his waist, and pointed at the warrior's nose with the other hand.

Suddenly, they felt the atmosphere around them became eerie.

"Why is it suddenly so cold?" asked a warrior.

"That's right, the weather is really terrible." Another warrior complained.

Suddenly, they seemed to think of something and slowly turned their heads, only to see Shiji looking at them coldly.

"I'm sorry, boss. I'm sorry." The warriors apologized to Shiji timidly, "We shouldn't have bothered you to rest after you and the little beauty... Oh, no, we shouldn't have bothered you to rest after you finished fighting." Seeing that Shiji's eyes were not right, the warriors quickly changed their words.

"Yeah." Shiji retracted his gaze. Just when the warriors were relieved, he suddenly said coldly: "If I hear you guys making a fuss again, I will treat you like those killers."

The warriors were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat: "No, no."

Shiji raised the corner of his mouth: "That's good."

"Well, it seems that the girl is seriously injured. We can only rest on the road first. There is no other way. Who made us encounter such a thing on the road? We can't just watch her die. Let's rest here." Shiji looked around and felt that the environment was not too dangerous, so he found a flat ground and gently put the injured girl on the ground.

Shiji checked the girl's injuries again and couldn't help but frowned. "She's seriously injured..." he said to himself. Then, he poured out a bone-growing pill from the medicine bottle. This medicine was of the second grade. He secretly wondered what the identity of this girl was that she was being hunted down.

Shiji shook his head and sighed softly, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Fortunately, she met him, otherwise, I am afraid that even the body would not be found now. The sky gradually darkened, and Shiji's stomach began to growl. He hadn't eaten much all day.

He thought he had to find some wild animals to fill his stomach, after all, the girl was so badly injured that she must need to replenish her energy. So he looked around and saw that the mountains were steep and there seemed to be the shadow of pheasants.

Since the girl has taken the medicine, she should be able to recover to a large extent. There is nothing to do now, so why not go find something to eat? Shiji thought this was a good idea, so she moved the girl to a secluded place first.

"Hey, help me watch her while I go get some food." Shiji said to the pigeon elf. The pigeon elf had no choice but to refuse. So Shiji left. The mountain road was steep and rugged, and it was not easy to walk.

After walking for a while, Shiji finally spotted the shadow of a pheasant. He was overjoyed, quietly approached, then drew his weapon and knocked the pheasant to the ground. He only heard the pheasant's painful cry, and Shiji saw that the pheasant was motionless, so he ran over and picked it up.

Now I finally have dinner, I don't have to go hungry anymore. Shiji thought, I was really hungry just now. I don't know if this girl has woken up, he still doesn't know how to face her.

Shiji scratched his head and returned the same way. The way down the mountain was much easier than the way up, and he soon reached the place where they rested. He hurried over, fearing that the girl would wake up and do something, and the pigeon spirit would not be able to resist.

He was relieved when he found that the girl was still in a coma and had not woken up. He looked at the carrier pigeon elf, "Good job, I'll reward you later." Shiji said to the carrier pigeon elf. But the carrier pigeon elf looked at him with disdain, as if it didn't care about his reward. It just wanted to hurry up now. If it kept dawdling like this, when would it reach its destination? This was also the most troublesome problem for the carrier pigeon elf. But Shiji had certainly thought of this problem, and he had already made up his mind, but he just didn't tell the carrier pigeon elf. He also proudly showed off the pheasant in his hand to the carrier pigeon elf, but when he saw that the carrier pigeon elf ignored him, he turned around and went to find firewood, knowing that it was boring.

This is a mountainous area, so there is no shortage of firewood. After a while, Shiji came back with a pile of firewood. He spread the firewood on the ground, used a weapon to make a fire, and simply prepared the pheasant before roasting it over the fire.

While roasting the pheasant, Shiji went to see the unconscious girl again. He was a little confused. She should have woken up a long time ago. Why hasn't she woken up yet? He has been busy for so long. Could it be that the girl has no sense at all?
Shiji reached out and touched the girl's forehead. It was a little hot. It should be the effect of the medicine. He was relieved and waited quietly for the roasted pheasant to be cooked. After a while, the aroma of the roasted pheasant filled the air. Shiji sprinkled some seasonings, and the aroma was even more fragrant. He couldn't wait to try it.

After eating the roasted pheasant, Shiji felt very satisfied. It was already late, and he saw that the girl had not woken up yet, so he thought about waiting until she woke up tomorrow. So he found a comfortable place to lean against and fell asleep.

The wind was blowing at night, and the weather was a bit cold. Shiji unconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly. He was a light sleeper. Over the years, he had developed the habit of being alert to his surroundings. Because he had suffered a heavy price in the past, he dared not let down his guard at any time.

That experience really left Shiji with a lingering fear. He secretly vowed to himself that he would sleep lightly in the future, because deep sleep made him miss too many things, and this time was no exception. Although he said he wanted to sleep, he actually did not sleep too deeply.

He still had to be wary of that woman, after all, her identity was still unknown. If she was a bad person, it would be a repeat of the story of "The Farmer and the Snake", so it was better to remain vigilant.

He could hear every little movement in the outside world. At this moment, there was a sudden cough. Obviously, the woman woke up.

After waking up, the woman looked around and saw the man who seemed to be sleeping in the corner - Shiji. She remained alert, but even the slightest movement of her was clearly noticed by Shiji.

Shiji realized that the woman was awake, so he slowly opened his eyes, and when he looked up, he met the woman's deep eyes.

"Who are you?" the woman asked Shiji in a wary tone.

Shiji did not rush to answer, but walked up to the woman and stretched out his hand to check her injuries. "Well... you have recovered well. It seems that my medicine is quite effective."

He was talking to himself, not noticing the woman's expression at all. "Who are you?"

The woman was a little displeased when she saw Shiji didn't answer. Shiji said slowly, "You haven't told me who you are yet. How could I introduce myself for no reason? Don't you think so?"

The woman pondered for a moment and felt that what he said made sense, so she cleared her throat and said solemnly: "My name is Manrong, and I am the second princess of the Rose Empire. The people who are chasing me... are sent by my sister, the eldest princess of the Rose Empire, just to fight for a position. I have never fought for anything since I was a child."

Recalling the past, Manrong smiled slightly, but this also highlighted the ruthlessness of the eldest princess. She actually killed her own sister, and Shiji couldn't help but frowned when he heard it. He had heard that the competition within the royal family was fierce, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel that even close relatives would not hesitate to take lives.

Shiji looked at Manrong in front of her. She didn't look like a princess at all. Her face was in a state of disgrace, but she still looked a little pretty. She might have been hunted for too long, her clothes were torn and her body was covered with scars and blood.

It seems that she has experienced too many hardships along the way, Shiji sighed in her heart.

"She treated me like this just for a position. If she could abandon her own sister for a position, then there is no need for me to swallow my anger. I have never had such an idea before."

"She pushed me to the limit. We could have lived in harmony, but she wanted me to die to prevent future troubles. My sister's heart is really made of stone. She is so cruel. We have been sisters for so many years..." Manrong choked up when she said this.

"I won't say anymore. Thank you for saving me." She seemed to have suppressed all the sadness deep in her heart and didn't want to mention it again.

"It's just a piece of cake. No one can watch a woman being hunted down and do nothing." Shiji said lightly, not taking the matter to heart.

"Okay, I'll remember it." Manrong felt that the character in front of him was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it for a moment. Shiji then introduced the carrier pigeon elf beside him, "This is the carrier pigeon elf, I call it Xin. Although it hasn't awakened yet, it's already very powerful. It helped me a lot along the way. I believe that after it awakens, it will be even more powerful."

Man Rong's heart was in turmoil. "My sister and I grew up together. She knows everything about my behavior. The assassins she sent were also very powerful, and they were all my counter. Although my strength is not bad, I still couldn't resist it in the end."

"Luckily I met you, otherwise I would have died long ago. Your strength is really amazing, and I admire you very much. If I am lucky enough to return home, I will definitely reward you well. But now, I still want to thank you first. Without you, I would probably be dead now." Manrong's pretty little face was full of sincerity.

Shiji just smiled faintly, he didn't take it seriously. To him, it was just saving a person on the road, he didn't think too much about it.

Manrong continued to thank Shiji, while Shiji just listened quietly without saying anything more.

Thanks to the pill that Shiji gave Manrong yesterday, her injuries improved rapidly, and 70% to 80% of the pain had disappeared. However, Manrong was confused because of this.

She never expected that her own sister would be so cruel to her. The sister who grew up with her actually killed her for a throne. In fact, she never had the idea of ​​competing with her sister for the throne.

When she thought of this, Manrong crossed her arms and buried her head in her arms. Anyone would feel heartbroken to be treated like this by their loved ones. At this moment, she was completely disappointed with Xiaoqing (her sister).

Since Xiaoqing was the first to do something unjust, don't blame her for being ruthless. She will make Xiaoqing pay for this matter. This time, she will never be soft-hearted. She is determined to win the throne of the Rose Empire.

Manrong stood up straight, propped up her head with one arm, stared blankly at one place, and her thoughts began to drift away. After making up her mind to fight with Xiaoqing for the throne, she began to think about how to make Xiaoqing pay for assassinating her. However, after thinking about it, she couldn't come up with a good idea. She simply stopped thinking about it.

The most important thing now is to seize the throne of the Rose Empire. Only by becoming the heir to the throne can she deal with Xiaoqing at will. But how can she do that? With her current strength, she is definitely not Xiaoqing's opponent. Moreover, if she suddenly attacks and is discovered by Xiaoqing, she doesn't know how she will die.

Manrong picked up a small wooden stick and scribbled on the ground, feeling helpless and at a loss. She felt like she couldn't do anything right, and if possible, she really didn't want to go this far. (End of this chapter)
