Zhang Hao took a deep breath, pulled his gaze back, and knew that saving a life was like putting out a fire; if he didn't find a way soon, Ning Xue would be in danger.
Zhang Hao knew that the best way for Ning Xue to overcome the crisis was to forcibly disperse the congealed blood energy in her body.
"Girl, don't blame me later! I'm doing this to save you!"
After helping Ning Xue up, Zhang Hao sat behind her.
He placed his hands tightly against Ning Xue's back, channeling Internal Energy into her body to disperse the clumps of blood energy that were about to congeal.
"Mmmph!"
Ning Xue woke up, her eyes still a little hazy. She murmured, "Am I dead?"
"You're in the underworld now, waiting to be thrown into the oil pan!" A sinister voice came.
"Ah!" Ning Xue shrieked in fright.
When Ning Xue came to her senses and saw Zhang Hao grinning at her, she immediately reacted, glared fiercely at Zhang Hao, and said, "You tricked me?"
"Hehe, I didn't expect Miss Ning, who is usually so fierce, to be such a coward?" Zhang Hao looked surprised.
"Hmph!"
Ning Xue was fuming and glared at Zhang Hao fiercely again. If looks could kill, Zhang Hao would have been sliced into a thousand pieces long ago.
"Why did I get sick from eating it, but you didn't?" Ning Xue looked at Zhang Hao in confusion.
"How should I know? Maybe I have a special constitution!" Zhang Hao shrugged innocently.
"Thank you for saving me!" Ning Xue's impression of Zhang Hao was much better now.
"So, even you, Miss, can say thank you! The sun must have risen from the west!" Zhang Hao looked like he had discovered a new continent.
"Hmph, don't push your luck!" Ning Xue adjusted her collar.
"Let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Ning Xue, and I live in Wushuang City. I came out this time to escape a marriage..." Ning Xue said softly.
Wushuang City, Ning Xue? The Ning family?
Zhang Hao looked at Ning Xue in surprise and asked, "You are the daughter of the Lord of Wushuang City?"
"How did you know?" Ning Xue was also somewhat taken aback.
Zhang Hao was a little stunned at this moment.
This Ning Xue was actually his sister-in-law?!
Because she was Zhang Kuanglong's fiancée!
"You don't like Zhang Kuanglong?" Zhang Hao looked at Ning Xue with some curiosity.
"I haven't even met the person, so I can't say whether I like him or not. My fate must be in my own hands." Ning Xue said through gritted teeth.
Regarding the marriage between Zhang Kuanglong and the Ning family, Zhang Hao had only heard rumors about it.
"Why did your father insist on marrying you to Zhang Kuanglong?" Zhang Hao asked curiously.
"Hmph, my father once said that twenty years ago, when he first started out, Zhang Yanwu once saved his life. At that time, they agreed on a marriage while the children were still in the womb. He wants to repay a favor, but I've become the sacrifice. I don't want that." Ning Xue said stubbornly.
"Actually, you don't need to escape the marriage." Zhang Hao looked at Ning Xue and smiled mysteriously.
"What do you mean? By the way, how did you know that my fiancé is Zhang Kuanglong?" Ning Xue suddenly remembered something and looked at Zhang Hao in great surprise.
"Because Zhang Kuanglong is my cousin." Zhang Hao gave a wry smile.
"Ah!"
Ning Xue looked at Zhang Hao in surprise, seemingly not expecting things in the world to be so coincidental.
"Why did you say I don't need to escape the marriage?" Ning Xue looked at Zhang Hao and quickly asked.
Zhang Hao then told Ning Xue about Zhang Kuanglong's plan to marry Princess Zi Qian. Ning Xue's eyebrows shot up, and she became furious.
"Damn it... This guy is eating from his bowl while looking at the pot. If I can get out, I must break off the engagement." Ning Xue said indignantly.
Unknowingly, it was morning.
Zhang Hao looked at the edge of the pit and saw a few vines extending from the cave wall. He said to Ning Xue in surprise, "Look, there are vines there. We have a way out."
"Great." Ning Xue saw them too and was overjoyed.
Zhang Hao and Ning Xue spent half an hour, finally leaving the pit one after the other.
"Brat, I'm going to find trouble with Zhang Kuanglong. We'll meet again."
With that, Ning Xue quickly darted away.
"Zhang Kuanglong, you have a good plan. By marrying Zi Qian, you naturally don't have to worry about offending the Lord of Wushuang City. I wonder if it will be interesting when your fiancée goes to break off the engagement during the clan competition!"
