CHAPTER 85

After spending two days of relaxation, Ji Jungkook and Ye Lisa decided to depart of the capital. Due to the inconvenience of using the water route, they chose the horse carriage. Originally, Ye Lisa was afraid of bringing the group of assassinators to JiangYin, but Ji Jungkook knew that his guards are not just for show, so he welcomes the assassin gladly, which made Ye Lisa relaxed abit.

However, they no matter how they calculated they would have not though of the disasters from nature.

After two and a half days journey on their horse carriage, they decided to rest and have something to eat. They stopped the horse carriage by the side, and laid a mat under a big tree. The weather was humid and hot, Ye Lisa was a little tired from the long journey so Ji Jungkook let her first take a nap under the big tree.

However, suddenly from the west direction a huge noise appeared, and the ground started to shake. Ji Jungkook got cautious and started to investigate. Ye Lisa got shocked till she stood up, "What happened?"

Ji Jungkook's gaze fell to the west direction, his eyes going bigger and bigger, from his eyes Ye Lisa managed to see an approaching line. This line is growing bigger and looks more like a shining wall, rushing towards their direction.

Its incoming flood!

Ye Lisa felt her heart almost stopping, she started to shiver, not knowing how to react.

Ji Jungkook grabbed her and rushed towards the horse carriage.

However they were one stop slower, the horse got scared, and ran away with the carriage!

No matter what, humans would not be able to catch a running horse. Even if they did, it wouldn't do any good now. Ji Jungkook turned around while pulling Ye Lisa, "Go up!"

Luckily the tree that they chose to rest earlier on was the biggest around. Ye Lisa grabbed on to the tree and started to climb up. Ji Jungkook grabbed her waist, and using the tree branch to gain some momentum he got the both of them to the highest place on the tree.

Ye Lisa felt that she flew up, shivering while grabbing on to Ji Jungkook's waist, not daring to move, and not daring to look down.

Ji Jungkook made her stand properly on the branch afraid that her legs will lose strength drops down accidently. Seeing that her expression was very pale, he consoled her "Lisa, don't be afraid. I will protect you"

How can she be not afraid, she is scared to death now. She peeped through the leaves to look far, the flood water is like a scary monster rushing through under them towards the east taking with it everything within its reach.

Almost everything is covered now. The whole place was white, and it seem like there were in the middle of a big pot of boiling water.

But that wasn't the most scariest thing, what's worst is that the water level is slowly increasing.

Ye Lisa once again felt the danger of death coming. The last time she felt this type of danger was during the hunt where she met the tiger, but that time Ji Jungkook amanged to save her. But now the person who saved her is standing with her, facing the same type of danger.

"Your majesty, we.....will we die...." Ye Lisa asked while grabbing on to his clothes.

"We won't" Ji Jungkook answered calmly and firmly, looking towards the direction where the sound came from, "There should be a river nearby, just now the loud sound was most probably a landslide, that's why the river water rushed in. The sound was very clear just now, so it means we are not too far from the breach that's why the water level raises fast."
