Liu Yilin felt a pang of regret, but the thought of that scoundrel seducing her sister made her furious again. Perhaps even she didn't know why she was so angry.
However, anger and wild thoughts wouldn't solve anything. Perhaps it was due to extreme nervousness and fear, but soon Liu Yilin felt the urge to urinate again.
Liu Yilin held it for a while, but found she couldn't hold it much longer. The more she tried to suppress it, the stronger the urge became, as if she were hypnotizing herself.
She sat up in the car, wanting to get out and relieve herself, but the outside was too dark, making her hesitant.
If her phone still had power, she could at least use it for light. But now, with no battery left, she was afraid to get out, worried about stepping on snakes, insects, or other creatures.
Just as Liu Yilin was about to lose control, she suddenly heard the roar of a vehicle approaching from afar. Her face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly rolled down the car window and shouted.
"Is anyone out there? My car is out of gas, can you help me?"
Ning Beichen, who was searching everywhere for Liu Yilin, heard her call. Overjoyed, he immediately drove towards her location.
"Yilin."
Ning Beichen saw Liu Yilin's car and quickly got out and ran towards her.
Liu Yilin, who had been trembling with fear, suddenly heard Ning Beichen's voice. She broke down instantly. All thoughts of being strong vanished. She threw open the car door and ran towards Ning Beichen, crying.
Ning Beichen excitedly pulled her into his embrace. He hadn't felt much before, but Liu Yilin's disappearance this time had terrified him. He had wanted to scold this frantic woman.
But Ning Beichen couldn't bring himself to do it. In the end, he said nothing and simply held her tightly.
Little did Ning Beichen realize that his concern and worry for Liu Yilin seemed to have crossed a line.
If it were the "King Yama" of the past, it wouldn't matter if you were a prince or princess, a big star or a world-famous supermodel. If you dared to act like this, whether he would hit you or not was another matter, but he would certainly not give you a good look.
"Yilin, Yi Xin and I have nothing going on. Tonight, she tricked me into thinking she was in danger and asked me to save her. That's why I went, only to find out she lied to me..."
Ning Beichen explained what had happened last night.
If it were the Ning Beichen of the past, he would never explain such things. If you misunderstood, then so be it. It had nothing to do with him.
"Why are you telling me this? I'm not anyone to you."
Liu Yilin said shyly and a little guiltily after hearing Ning Beichen's explanation.
Ning Beichen was speechless. If you didn't mind, then why did you get angry and run away? If you hadn't been cultivating, I wouldn't have found you.
Who would have thought you'd come to such a remote place? It's a good thing I searched the city, I almost dug up Hai Zhou New City.
However, Ning Beichen was not a person lacking in emotional intelligence, so he naturally wouldn't say these things.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. By the way, Yilin, there are still many people who want your life. You must never run off alone in the future."
To avoid a repeat, Ning Beichen said to her very seriously.
Fortunately, this was in the Eastern Ancient Kingdom. If it were overseas, it would be hard to guarantee that nothing would happen.
"I know. I won't run off alone anymore."
Liu Yilin was scared after this lesson.
In this desolate wilderness, there was no one to call. If she encountered any danger, she, as a girl, would be helpless.
"That's good."
Ning Beichen's heart was put at ease when Liu Yilin listened to his advice.
Liu Yilin then told Ning Beichen about what had happened to her since arriving here, lamenting her bad luck with the car running out of gas and her phone dying.
After talking for a long time, Liu Yilin suddenly remembered how Ning Beichen had found her.
"By the way, Beichen, how did you find me?"
"Fortunately, you've been cultivating. If you hadn't been cultivating, I really wouldn't have found you."
Ning Beichen explained how he had found her.
"Cultivation techniques have such an effect? Then if you can't find me in the future, as long as I cultivate, you'll know, right?"
Liu Yilin was astonished, feeling that cultivation was truly magical.
"That's not necessarily true. There's still a certain distance. If you're too far away from me, I still won't be able to find you."
Ning Beichen told her, so that she wouldn't act rashly.
Liu Yilin was immediately disappointed, having thought that as long as she cultivated, Ning Beichen could find her no matter where she was.
If that were true, she wouldn't be afraid of getting lost.
Fortunately, Ning Beichen didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise, he might have lost his temper and hit her.
"Alright, we'll talk about anything else when we get back."
Ning Beichen knew she hadn't slept all night, was cold, and scared, so he planned to take her back.
However, just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard the roar of vehicles, not just one, but several, and soon vehicle lights shone towards them.
Ning Beichen pulled Liu Yilin behind him to shield her, then squinted his eyes, staring at the approaching lights.
Ning Beichen didn't know who was coming, but appearing at this time and place, they were definitely coming for them. Therefore, Ning Beichen had already treated them as enemies.
"Mr. Huang, there are people here."
A voice sounded from behind the bright lights.
"Good, I'll go down and ask them."
Following the sound of car doors opening and closing, and the light being blocked, Ning Beichen saw an old man leading seven or eight people walking towards them.
Ning Beichen remained calm, waiting for the other party to reveal their intentions. If they were enemies, this place would be perfect for their burial!
"Don't worry, the two of you. We are not bad people."
As soon as Huang Yuzhong arrived, he spoke first to Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin.
However, Ning Beichen wouldn't believe his nonsense so easily. Four in the morning, in the middle of nowhere, with no other people around. Was it such a coincidence that they met them?
But whether to believe them or not was one thing. At least these people hadn't made any moves or shown any malice, so Ning Beichen wanted to see what they wanted.
"What business do you have?"
Ning Beichen asked him calmly.
"It's like this, my name is Huang Yuzhong. Have you heard of my name?"
