early morning.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Obi knocked on the door, and before he could call out his name, Ye Ying, who had already been fully dressed, opened the door.

The girl looked up at him with a slightly puzzled expression on her face, her beautiful dark purple eyes were clear and pure.

Obi couldn't help looking away, and coughed lightly: "Miss, are you awake? We're almost ready to go."

"I'll wake her up."

Not noticing Obi's unnaturalness, Ye Ying responded.

After finishing speaking, she paused, with a hesitant expression on her face: "But, Miss Xue Bai still looks a little tired..."

Obi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Ye Ying to notice this.

There was a little worry in the girl's eyes, although it was shallow, it was enough.

Obi's expression became warmer, he relaxed, leaned against the door frame and said with a smile: "Then it will be a quarter of an hour later, and there will be no breakfast if it is later."

Ye Ying's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly, with obvious joy in her bright eyes.

Obi, who had just relaxed, suddenly felt a little messy in his breathing.

He coughed again: "Then I'll go down first."

"it is good."

Obi waved his hand, turned and walked towards the stairs.

There was the sound of the door closing behind him.

"Boom." Obi propped himself up against the wall, and covered his cheek, which was getting hotter, with the other hand.

Yeying's expression just now...

Obi's wide-open dark gold cat eyes were full of astonishment.

...He actually thinks...the number one killer in the dark world...is kind of cute, or something...

This kind of thing, I am definitely not normal——

……

A quarter of an hour later, Bai Xue and Ye Ying appeared downstairs on time, and saw Obi who was waving at them.

"Obi, thank you~" Bai Xue sat down with a smile, and picked up the steaming food that was prepared on the table, "I heard that you came here this morning, and you didn't come in through the window this time~"

Obi almost choked, and honestly lowered his head and clasped his hands together: "Miss, I was wrong, I promise I won't do that kind of thing again in the future."

"The window..." Ye Ying looked at Obi suddenly with a strange gaze, it turned out that this kind of thing had happened before.

Obi: "..." I really really won't do that again, please let me go.

"But since I'm just going to see that uncle's research, there's no need to hurry. You can go to Master's Laxford Fortress first today~"

"Really?" Bai Xue was delighted, "Oh no, I didn't prepare a gift."

"Haha, they don't need any gifts, it's enough for the lady to go."

"That can't be done, I'd better buy some later... what should I buy..."

"Just buy a bar, I can recommend it for you~ It's absolutely welcome."

"Obi..., that's just what you want to drink."

……

"Almost ready to go."

The three of them led the horse out of the town.Obi got on his horse, leaned down and hugged the surprised Baixue in front of him, and said with a smile.

"The weather is fine today, there is no wind, let's walk slowly, the lady can sit in front."

"If you're tired, just lean on me and rest~"

"Yeah!" Bai Xue said with a smile, "Obi is really considerate."

"Haha, how about Miss..."

—Leave your master behind and run away with me~~

...No, Obi raised his forehead, he always felt that this sentence was not good in all aspects.

"what?"

"... Cough, it's nothing. Let's go."

The three of them gradually entered the mountain forest area on horseback.

The tall pine forests on both sides ride on the white snow, and the horses move slowly on a mountain road in the middle.

If it weren't for the orders, it would feel like a bit of an outing.

However, this atmosphere was quickly broken.

"Obi!" Ye Ying suddenly whispered.

She quickly pulled the horse's head close to Obi and Baixue, her face became serious, and her eyes looked back.

"Ah, I know," Obi still looked ahead, he grabbed the rein firmly, and lowered his voice, "Miss, it's time to speed up."

Bai Xue quickly understood the reason for the acceleration. Behind them, the sound of several galloping horseshoes came.

"they are?!"

"Maybe it's bandits or something. I met them last time I came here... But the law and order in the Laxde area is too messy. I have to report to the master when I go back."

Obi replied in a relaxed tone, but his movements were not slow, and the horse carrying the two quickly galloped through the forest.

However, the people behind them were faster than they had imagined, and they caught up within a few breaths. Obi roughly estimated that there were 4 or 5 people.

Well, it's too bad... He is not good at fighting immediately, and he has to protect the young lady...

If he was alone—

He quickly turned his head to look at Ye Ying, and was about to shout something, when Ye Ying suddenly pulled out his sword and swung it at him!

"clang--!!"

The screaming sound was accompanied by the sound of gold and iron intersecting, and an arrow was slammed into the air.After Obi was stunned for a short time, his anger rose along with the shock.

——There are archers? !

Ye Ying withdrew her sword, frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the arrow - unlike the enemy behind her, the arrow was shot from a high side.

And the distance was too far, it was inconvenient for her to leave Obi and the others. At this time, Obi was protecting Baixue, and only she could resist the attacks of these people.

She looked behind her again, and the eyes of those thieves who could already see their faces clearly flashed a chill.

"Obi, you protect Miss, I will deal with them!"

She said coldly, and suddenly turned over from the galloping horse.

The body fell to the ground like a light feather, and instantly turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the enemy.

"Yeying!" Obi was startled. He originally thought that he would come to the rear of the palace and let Yeying take Baixue away. After all, Yeying's swordsmanship is more suitable for blocking the arrows of archers.

However, Ye Ying was already far away, so he could only quickly turn his horse's head and plunge into the dense forest next to him.

Ye Ying rushed into the enemy's formation quickly, and the leader was cut off by her as soon as she made contact.

The cold murderous intent churned in her body, she shot mercilessly, a few lightning-like piercings, the enemy's throat was slashed almost before the enemy noticed it.

The five chasing people had no power to resist, and they were dead on the ground in an instant. Yeying looked up at the direction the arrow was coming from before, and clenched the sword in his hand tightly.

Are you going to kill that person?

Just as she was hesitating, the sound of a horse neighing suddenly came from a distance.

She started up suddenly, and immediately looked in Obi's direction.

Too bad, Ye Ying quickly grabbed a horse left by the enemy, and chased it to the place where the neighing sound sounded.

There is impatience in the dark purple pupils, the enemy may be more than that.

……

Obi rushed into the forest with Bai Xue.

He stretched out his hand and pulled out the long sword that was rarely used at his waist. After all, in this case, the sword was more suitable.

He was a little fortunate to let the young lady sit in front, at least this way he almost protected the young lady in his arms, if someone shoots an arrow, he could feel it immediately without hurting the young lady.

However, a figure reappeared in the forest on the front side. He frowned and controlled the horse to run in another direction.

It turned out to be so...

Obi yanked on the reins, and the galloping horse stopped abruptly.

He looked down at the steep snow slope like a cliff in front of him, and a very bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

At the same time, the horse beneath him suddenly hissed in pain, and Obi immediately hugged Bai Xue and jumped off. Looking back, he saw that the horse's head had been hit by an arrow, and it could no longer get up.

And behind them, the figures of at least 7 people appeared again, surrounding the retreat route.

Ah, there are so many people staring at them...

For being targeted, he still knows what to do.

—Because of women.

There were only three people in the team, and two of them were beautiful girls. He didn't think of Ye Ying as a woman before, so he ignored this problem.

A beautiful woman is a precious resource in the eyes of these thieves.

His hands holding Bai Xue became tighter, and the dark golden cat pupils under the hood gleamed extremely dangerously.

"Miss, don't open your eyes, and don't be afraid."

He put down the white snow guard behind him, and there was a cliff behind him, and he couldn't retreat even a step.

The real threat is the bow and arrow in the distance. As for the others... He believes that Ye Ying will come soon, and he only needs to hold her to this side.

The sword was inserted into the snow by him, and several painlessly appeared on the fingertips.

Don't let them hurt Miss, no matter who it is!
