The Little Husband Who Became the Ghost-Faced King

Xiji looked at the sad expression on Cheng Dieyi's face, and thought that it was not easy for a weak woman like her to survive in such a world, so he couldn't help but feel a little pity for her.

Xiji and Miss Chen became sworn brothers on the following journey. While Xiji got nothing, she got a lot of prey. Xiji felt ashamed, but he also found that this woman was not as weak as she appeared to be. She was a typical example of a woman who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

When Xiji shot an arrow and missed, and was being comforted by Cheng Dieyi, a few screams were heard not far ahead, and then a guard covered in blood rushed over.

Xiji looked at the guard who was running over and recognized him as the one who had just gone hunting with the Night King. He immediately stopped the guard and asked anxiously: What happened?

The guard looked very frightened, and had not reacted even after being stopped by Xiji. Only when he saw Xiji's familiar face did he calm down a little and said quickly: I don't know how a big beast came into this mountain, and your Excellency is confronting it. I have to go get help now.

After listening to him, Xiji quickly let him go, then turned to look at the guards who were originally guarding beside him, and said loudly: You go to the master quickly, there is no danger here.

The guards glanced around and knew that this was the outskirts and there wouldn't be anything dangerous here. They made a decision immediately, saluted towards Xiji, and rushed towards the direction where the guard had just run.

Since Xiji was much weaker than the Night King, the guards around Xiji were much stronger than those of the Night King. Seeing that they had disappeared in an instant, Xiji whipped his horse to catch up. He looked at Cheng Dieyi who seemed to be a little dazed, and hurriedly said: Miss Chen, it's dangerous on the mountain, you should go back first!

Although Cheng Dieyi looked timid at this time, he still managed to calm himself down. He looked at Xiji and said firmly: "Since the master is in danger, how can I, as his protector, stand by and watch. Even if I can't help, I am willing to do my best. There is no time to lose, let's go over and see the situation, don't delay!"

Seeing her determined expression and thinking that her archery skills were many times better than his own, Xiji stopped hesitating and turned around and headed in the direction he had just come from.

However, Xiji still overestimated his riding skills. Although the horse under him was docile, the mountain road was not easy to ride on. Therefore, as they got closer to the Night King's location, Xiji's control over the horse became weaker, and he even began to stumble.

Cheng Dieyi, who was following behind, looked at Xiji and felt a little worried, but she didn't say anything until they passed a cliff. She saw that the horse's hoof was hit by the fallen rocks on the mountain, and it began to walk unsteadily. There was a sharp stone in front of Xiji. If the horse stepped on it, it would be frightened and would be thrown off the horse and rolled down the cliff, which would be seriously injured if not dead.

Cheng Dieyi hesitated for a moment, looking at the man in front of him who seemed to have not noticed anything and was only thinking about seeing the Night King as soon as possible. He bit his lip, but still didn't make a sound.

Xiji looked at the deafening roar in front of him, feeling very anxious. Although he knew that the Night King was very powerful, that was only for ordinary people. Who knew if he would be at a disadvantage when facing this savage beast? Thinking that even in modern times, facing a creature like a tiger, only hot weapons could be used to subdue it, he became more and more anxious.

Thinking of this, Xiji wished he had a pair of wings so he could fly over there. He didn't care about his poor horse riding skills and hurriedly whipped the horse to go forward.
