Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

Nangong Yue's body suddenly emitted a beam of blue light.

The next instant, the brown bear that was about to bite Chu Xunzhen suddenly retreated as if it had been fatally frightened.

Chu Xunzhen was stunned and subconsciously looked at Nangong Yue beside her.

She took a deep breath.

Although I don't know why, I was saved at least.

The brown bear let out a fearful roar.

Its body coiled left and right, with all four legs on the ground, crawling around the doorway.

He stared intently at Nangong Yue, his eyes filled with apprehension and anxiety.

Chu Xunzhen cut open his palm again and placed the injured part of his palm on Nangong Yue's mouth.

The stench of blood made the brown bear even more ferocious, sometimes standing upright to stare at Chu Xunzhen, and sometimes lying down on the ground.

Chu Xunzhen stared coldly at the brown bear.

Even with Nangong Yue, she made him face it directly.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside.

A voice then rang out.

"Shall we leave quickly?"

"Have you noticed how strangely quiet it is here?"

"The bear might be in this area. Look, this footprint."

.......

The brown bear suddenly charged towards the cave entrance.

At this moment, several assassins in black had their backs to it.

Suddenly, one of the assassins in black caught a glimpse of the enormous creature behind him out of the corner of his eye.

He instinctively turned his head away, and the next moment, he stood there, stunned.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

His companion looked at the other person, and the next moment he noticed the brown bear behind him.

"Bear! There's a bear!"

The man screamed in panic, and the brown bear roared and suddenly bit his hand.

Upon hearing the screams outside, Chu Xunzhen released his protective Gu worms without hesitation to protect Nangong Yue.

She rushed out, looking around for water.

But she was surrounded by huge rocks and couldn't find any water.

Chu Xunzhen coldly glanced at the assassin fighting the brown bear, then suddenly turned around and quickly followed the footprints left by the brown bear, moving forward.

Sure enough, she guessed right. Brown bears need water too. This is the very stream where brown bears usually drink.

She took a sip and almost spat it out.

This is the water from downstream.

It's not clean and has a strange smell.

If you want to go upstream, you have to do it now.

She ran upstream, scooped up the water with her dress, and immediately returned to the cave.

She breathed a sigh of relief after feeding Nangong Yue the water.

The brown bear knows they're here and might just see them as dinner it can have anytime.

This time, a killer just happened to come to fill the brown bear's stomach; who knows, there might not be one next time.

Chu Xunzhen took off the bracelet.

Once the bracelet is repaired, this place, guarded by brown bears, will be a natural refuge.

She observed.

It turns out that the device inside the bracelet that ejected the silver needle was broken.

The good news was that she opened the device and removed all the silver needles. The bad news was that only three needles that could be used for anesthesia remained. There were also two poison needles that could kill instantly upon drawing blood.

Chu Xunzhen glanced at Nangong Yue. Given Nangong Yue's current condition, she certainly couldn't withstand any more turbulence.

Otherwise, if he were to bleed from his lungs again, he would likely not live much longer.

Chu Xunzhen walked to the cave entrance to check the situation outside the cave.

In the distance, brown bears roared as assassins surrounded them.

The brown bear slapped two assassins to death, but other assassins surrounded it.

The long knife struck the brown bear, which roared angrily.

Chu Xunzhen saw that every time the brown bear raised its paw, it would knock someone away.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from another direction. Chu Xunzhen flashed and hid in the shadows at the cave entrance.

Someone was seen lifting up the vines, seemingly looking around.

Chu Xunzhen held her breath.

"Here she is!" The man seemed to have spotted Nangong Yue and shouted excitedly, "We've found Nangong Yue!"

With a look of surprise on his face, he drew his long sword and ran towards Nangong Yue, who was lying on the ground.

The instant he entered the cave, a silver needle pierced his neck.

Before the assassin in black could even see clearly, he collapsed to the ground.

Only two silver needles remain that can paralyze the enemy.

Chu Xunzhen lifted the assassin's mask, and the next instant, a face covered in tattoos appeared before her.

These are members of the Killing Alliance.

The Killing Alliance is the common enemy of Da Ning.

Fifty years ago, the Great Qian Kingdom bribed the Killing Alliance and wantonly slaughtered thirteen cities of Da Ning.

The men of Daning were enslaved, and the women were even more vulnerable. Most egregiously, they abducted children and subjected them to horrific human experiments with drugs.

The people of Daqian and the assassins of the Killing Alliance treated the people of the thirteen cities of Da Ning like beasts.

On the most tragic day, they even killed tens of thousands of people.

A murderous intent flashed in Chu Xunzhen's eyes.

In his previous life, Gu Changfeng fought a great battle against the Great Qian Dynasty and also encountered assassins from the Killing Alliance.

The assassins of the Killing Alliance will stop at nothing.

They committed countless atrocities, including rape, plunder, and robbery. They even tattooed themselves on their arms. How many civilians and soldiers did they kill? Some of the killers were even more depraved, tattooing the names of the many women, children, and infants they murdered on their arms.

Chu Xunzhen tore off the fabric from his arm.

The next moment, her face turned icy.

This thief killed over 10,000 people, including 8,200 innocent women and 268 children.

Chu Xunzhen did not hesitate to dismember this scumbag's hands and feet.

If the brown bear comes back, this scumbag can shield her and Nangong Yue for a while.

Chu Xunzhen once again lifted the vines at the cave entrance.

She saw that the brown bear was still fighting with the killers.

She left quickly.

This time, she had the water pouch she had just snatched from the assassin tucked into her waistband.

She returned upstream in a short while.

Chu Xunzhen emptied all the water from the water pouch and cleaned the entire pouch. After carefully checking it and confirming that the water pouch was usable, he continued deeper into the dense forest ahead to pick fruit.

Chu Xunzhen was worried.

However, the fact that she has her protective Gu proves that Nangong Yue is still safe.

Chu Xunzhen ran almost at breakneck speed the whole way.

The soles of her shoes were worn through by gravel, and bright red blood was seeping from them.

Holding more than a dozen wild fruits in his arms, Chu Xunzhen finally arrived near the cave entrance.

Just as they were about to enter the cave, a whistle sounded from afar, and the assassins retreated.

The brown bear roared and turned around, staring intently at Chu Xunzhen, who was about to return to the cave.

The brown bear's massive body was covered in knife wounds.

At this moment, it looked down at Chu Xunzhen and suddenly rushed towards her.

A sudden tremor shook the earth, and Chu Xunzhen raised her bracelet.

A human-like mockery flashed in the brown bear's eyes.

It had already seen that thing malfunction. This stupid human was trying to scare it?

"Awoo!"

The brown bear charged toward Chu Xunzhen, its massive body crushing countless stones in its path.

Chu Xunzhen held the anesthetic needle in her hand, ready to be fired.

She wanted to anesthetize this behemoth once again.

The brown bear swooped down with lightning speed, its furry paws raised, and in the next instant, it collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Chu Xun was truly surprised.

Upon closer inspection of its wounds, it was discovered that it had been poisoned.

The assassins' blades were poisoned.

Chu Xunzhen was both shocked and furious.

If this brown bear dies and the assassins come again, she and Nangong Yue will be left without anyone to protect them.

"Can you even understand what I'm saying?"

Chu Xunzhen tried to speak to the brown bear.

She removed the water pouch from her body, rinsed the brown bear's wounds, and used silver needles to expel the toxins from its body.

The brown bear's gaze shifted from wariness to astonishment.

Chu Xunzhen used silver needles to stop the bleeding and then carefully retreated.

This brown bear is not the big black bear in the palace; it's a completely unfamiliar bear.

The brown bear glanced at its wound, which Chu Xunzhen had bandaged with her skirt, a hint of curiosity flashing in its eyes.

He abruptly stepped back, no longer preventing Chu Xunzhen from entering the cave.

Chu Xun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at it.

As soon as Chu Xunzhen entered the cave, he glanced at that damned scumbag killer.

The effects of the anesthesia are still present.

But what would he think if the effects of the medicine wore off and he found out that his limbs were broken?

Chu Xunzhen felt that she had been merciful.

If she fell into their hands, they would only bully her at will.

Chu Xunzhen limped over to Nangong Yue's side.

She reached out and checked Nangong Yue's temperature.

Just like before, high fever.

"Your Highness, please have some water."

Chu Xunzhen poured the water from the water bag onto Nangong Yue's lips.

Nangong Yue's lips moved slightly.

The next moment, he took the initiative to drink water.

Perhaps it was the strong smell of blood that made him slowly open his heavy eyelids.

"Sister, are you alright?"

Nangong Yue grabbed Chu Xunzhen's wrist, her eyes filled with worry, and asked anxiously.

Chu Xunzhen's heart trembled violently.

"I am fine. Your Highness, please rest assured."

Nangong Yue grinned, wanting to laugh, but the next moment, she spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Dark, poisonous blood was spilled all over the ground, and Nangong Yue fainted again.

Chu Xunzhen hugged Nangong Yue, his eyes filled with emotion.

He's in such a state; at least three of his ribs are broken. And the black blood gushing from his lungs is clearly poisonous.

Even though he was on his last breath, he still cared about her.

Bang bang bang!

The heavy footsteps were mixed with the stench unique to wild predators.

The brown bear walked in slowly, on all fours.

As soon as it parted the vines, Chu Xunzhen felt as if facing a formidable enemy.

If this thing dares to pounce on them, she will have to anesthetize it again.

The brown bear glanced at Chu Xunzhen, seemingly oblivious to the wariness in Chu Xunzhen's eyes, and silently turned in another direction.

Seeing it walk to another corner to rest, Chu Xunzhen silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the brown bear turned around and crawled towards them.

Chu Xunzhen stared intently at the brown bear. Just as it was about to reach a safe distance, Chu Xunzhen raised her right hand slightly, about to throw out the silver needle, when she saw the brown bear hand her a honeycomb full of honey.

Chu Xunzhen didn't put away the silver needles, and still asked warily, "For me?"

The brown bear nodded, then presented the beehive to the bear with its plump paws.

With a gurgling sound.

Chu Xunzhen couldn't help but swallow.

It's honey.

It smells good.

Chu Xunzhen stretched out her left hand, but the next moment she realized that she was holding Nangong Yue and couldn't reach the beehive.

The brown bear seemed to realize she was inconvenienced, so it placed the beehive on the ground, let out a howl, turned around, and lay down in a corner.

Chu Xunzhen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

Unexpectedly, this big guy is so intelligent.

Suddenly, a long pipe reached into the vines, and a plume of white smoke blew into the cave.

Chu Xunzhen, who was eating honey, suddenly shook her head, and the honeycomb in her hand fell to the ground, landing on Nangong Yue.
