Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Chapter 162: Going to the Gate of Life and Death

Then, Ning Yunxiao's exquisite and almost perfect face suddenly approached.

In the constantly spinning black hole, he grabbed her hand and pulled hard, holding her tightly in his arms. Even as the black hole mercilessly eroded the remaining air, he simply held her waist calmly and watched their...

Fall.

"Why?" Jiang Lige asked.

Jiang Lige never thought that Ning Yunxiao would put himself in such a dangerous situation for her. After all...

A few hours ago, this man had said in a tone that was so rational that it was almost indifferent, "The overall situation is the most important thing, and everyone is the same."

Jiang Lige knew that she was not a big deal, at least not compared to the millions of ordinary people.

At this moment, Ning Yunxiao no longer had any of his usual indifference. His thin lips curled up slightly. Even in such a terrible environment, there was no trace of panic on his face.

Then he said, "Jiang Lige, you are the first and only person who has firmly chosen me from beginning to end. I think I have lived up to your sincerity."

"Ning Yunxiao, you..." She called him, but before she could respond, she was swallowed by the overwhelming darkness and lost consciousness.

At this moment, the cracks on the Man-Eating Mountain quickly closed up and returned to normal. Even the strange pattern that had been accidentally stepped on just now disappeared.

The forest was calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, it was clear that there were fewer people traveling with us!

"Princess!"

Fengquan howled mournfully, and with red eyes, she began to dig the mud on the ground, as if this would make her princess reappear before her.

Shi Daizhi's face was pale, and he looked terrified. He asked Wei Letian tremblingly: "Can he...can they come back alive?"

Wei Letian shook his head, as if he had lost his parents. "I don't know."

……

The natural wall formed by huge rocks is in a ring shape and stands tall, like a huge deep well, imprisoning everyone inside.

The sun hardly shines in, only a few thin rays break through the obstacles and shine in, reflecting a strange pattern on the ground.

This was the scene Jiang Lige saw when he opened his eyes.

She's not dead?

After realizing this, Jiang Lige almost jumped up from the ground immediately, but ignored the hand that was tightly held by someone and almost fell to the ground.

Such a big movement also woke up Ning Yunxiao who was lying on the ground. After rubbing his eyebrows and sitting up, he looked at Jiang Lige who still had an embarrassed look on his face, and his heart finally settled down in his stomach.

"Prince." In the darkness, Jiang Lige carefully squatted back beside Ning Yunxiao, a hint of worry in his tone, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"No problem." Ning Yunxiao answered concisely, and then asked, "Princess, you called me just now. What did you want to say to me?"

"what?"

"Before she lost consciousness, the princess called my name."

Jiang Lige was stunned for a moment before she realized that Ning Yunxiao was asking about the words she had not finished saying before they fell unconscious.

At that time, Jiang Lige thought they were doomed to die, so he wanted to apologize to him. After all...

She had always approached Ning Yunxiao with a purpose, but now at a critical moment of life and death, Ning Yunxiao was willing to go to such lengths for her.

But now that he had survived by chance, Jiang Lige didn't want to talk about it anymore.

If I arouse Ning Yunxiao's suspicion, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?

At worst... at worst she will treat Ning Yunxiao better in the future, and that'll be fine.

Thinking truthfully, Jiang Lige pursed his lips guiltily and replied, "Nothing, I just wanted to apologize to the prince. After all, it is me who has implicated the prince this time."

"Princess, there's no need to think so. Miss Zheng has helped us a lot, how can we just ignore her?"

Jiang Lige nodded randomly and changed the subject, "What should we do next?"

Ning Yunxiao looked around and whispered to Jiang Lige, "There shouldn't be any danger here for now. Go find the remaining people first."

"it is good."

The place where everyone was was a huge circular open space. In the middle of the open space stood a deserted flower bed. There were no living things in the flower bed, and the withered plants emitted a strange and unpleasant smell.

Not far from the flower bed, Jiang Lige found the unconscious Zheng Baoyao and Xiaoya, as well as Deng Sijiu who appeared there inexplicably.

The first thing Deng Si did when he woke up from the alcohol was to look Ning Yunxiao up and down. He patted his chest with a proud look on his face and said, "I really risked my life for you."

"..."

For a moment, Jiang Lige felt that he was a little redundant.

Ning Yunxiao, on the other hand, felt that Deng Sijiu was unnecessary.

Zheng Baoyao and Xiaoya hugged each other in shock, too frightened to speak clearly. It took them a while to form a complete sentence, "Where are we?"

Jiang Lige shook his head. "We don't know either."

"Then what should I do?" Zheng Baoyao's voice was almost tinged with tears. "I... I don't want to die."

"If you don't want to die, you have to find a way." Ning Yunxiao really didn't have any sympathy for women at the moment. After answering this coldly, he asked everyone, "Do you have a fire starter?"

Deng Sijiu quickly took out the supplies from his pocket and said, "I have them!"

"give it to me."

Ning Yunxiao took the tinder handed to him by Deng Sijiu. The faint light of the fire illuminated the surrounding environment, and the group was able to see the place clearly.

The open space is centered on a circular flower bed. Against the outer wall, there are twelve stone gates made of huge stones. Strange patterns are engraved on the top of the stone gates. The patterns on each gate are different. Some look like snakes, some like tigers. They are messy and there is no pattern to be seen.

The only regularity is that there is a protruding stone on the right side of all the stone doors, which looks like a mechanism to open the stone doors.

Deng Sijiu suggested, "Why don't we open the door and take a look?"

"No! No one is allowed to move without understanding the situation." Ning Yunxiao warned sternly, then glanced at Xiaoya, who had a "criminal record," and instructed Deng Sijiu, "Brother Deng, please take good care of Miss Zheng and her servant."

"Okay." Deng Sijiu nodded in agreement and took Zheng Baoyao and her servant to sit down in the open space in the middle.

Ning Yunxiao and Jiang Lige continued to walk around the outer wall, carefully observing the environment. After walking around the outer wall once, Ning Yunxiao thought about it and made a rough judgment.

"It's the Gate of Life and Death."

Jiang Lige had seen the term "Gate of Life and Death" in a book about Jianghu gossip, so he asked, "But it's the Gate of Life and Death in Qi Men Dun Jia?"

"That's right." Ning Yunxiao nodded and explained concisely to everyone: "Among these twelve doors, there is only one door of life. The others are all doors of death. Except for the door of life, if the other doors are opened, we will die here."

"Then, Prince, do you know which is the exit?"
