Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 174 What if Tang Jingchen died?

Xiao Guoer took the tinderbox, then quickly put on a flattering smile and began to fawn on him: "Your Majesty is really thoughtful and wise. It is a very wise habit to carry a tinderbox with you when you go out!"

After saying this, without even looking at the indifferent expression of the Eighth Prince, who seemed to have not taken her words seriously at all, she walked straight to the entrance of the cave and lit the dead branches and leaves with a fire stick.

Zhao Yunrong observed quietly for a while. Seeing that Xiao Guoer had no experience in surviving in the wild, he actually roasted the branch with the fish on it over the fire. While roasting, he muttered softly, "It's so hot. I must be crazy to want to roast fish in such weather!"

Only when he saw that Xiao Guoer seemed unable to bear the high temperature of the fire in the scorching summer and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead did Zhao Yunrong slowly stand up and pick up two forked branches from the ground.

He used the broken sword in his hand to cut the two forked branches into roughly the same length and inserted them into the sides of the fire.

Then he raised his eyes and looked at the little Guoer whose face was red from being roasted by the fire.

When the boy saw the two branches, his eyes instantly sparkled.

A moment later, as expected, he heard the boy start to flatter again.

"Wow! Your Majesty, you are so smart! If you put the fish on top and grill it, you don't have to squat here and watch it all the time!"

The usually taciturn and aloof Eighth Prince actually opened his mouth this time and responded to the man's flattery, but there was a hint of obvious mockery in his tone, "This method has nothing to do with intelligence, and most people can think of it."

Does this mean that she is not just stupid?

Xiao Guo'er's originally smiling face suddenly became a little stiff, and then she lowered her head, repeating in her heart: Don't be angry, don't be angry, if you get angry and get sick, no one can help you...

Xiao Guoer no longer had to stand by the fire, and the unbearable heat on her body subsided a lot, but she was sweating a lot, and felt sticky and uncomfortable. Thinking of the stream not far away, she felt longing to go and wash. But in this situation, she didn't dare to take the risk.

I can only endure it temporarily and hope that they can leave this deep forest as soon as possible.

Soon, the delicious aroma of grilled fish wafted into the air.

The two men fell off the cliff in the morning. It was almost evening now, so they were naturally hungry.

The glutton in Xiaoguo'er's stomach could no longer hold back and started to growl.

She couldn't wait to take the grilled fish off the grill, cut it into two halves, handed one half to the Eighth Prince, and held the other half in her own hand.

Seeing the delicious food in front of him, he took a bite of it directly, regardless of the fact that the fish had just been taken off the fire and the temperature had not yet dropped to a level suitable for eating.

The next second, she was hissing non-stop because of the scalding of the fish in her mouth. Her tongue was busy turning over the hot fish in her mouth, and even physiological tears came out due to the scalding.

Zhao Yunrong frowned and couldn't help but scold, "Why are you so anxious?"

Although it was very hot, the rich and delicious taste made people unable to stop eating. Xiao Guoer was reluctant to spit out the meat in her mouth. After finally swallowing the hot meat into her stomach, she replied, "I didn't expect it to be so hot..."

The pair of big eyes were misted over with tears from the burns, and seemed to have a hint of aggrieved.

Zhao Yunrong couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This boy not only has a pair of beautiful feet, but also a pair of beautiful eyes that can speak.

Then, he saw the boy couldn't wait any longer. He pouted his lips, blew on the grilled fish a few times, and then opened his mouth and took a bite impatiently.

A row of clearly visible shell tooth bite marks were immediately left on the fish's body, in the shape of small and cute semicircles.

Xiao Guoer chewed the fish with relish. She noticed that the Eighth Prince was staring at her fish. She thought that he was not used to the original taste of the fish that was not carefully cooked. So she kindly said, "Your Majesty, please try it too. Although there is no seasoning added, you can taste the pure and mellow taste of the food itself."

Finally, he muttered in an inaudible voice, "When there is a chance in the future, I will let Jingchen try it. The charm of barbecue is really irreplaceable!"

After she finished speaking, she opened and closed her mouth and flexibly spat out a whole fish bone.

Zhao Yunrong drooped his eyelids and slowly retracted his gaze, then set his eyes on the piece of fish covered with browned fish skin in his hand, but he had no desire to eat it at all.

It wasn't because he wasn't used to this kind of food, but as he listened to the gentle chewing sounds of the person next to him, a feeling of cold loneliness slowly spread through his heart.

He couldn't help but start to wonder, would there be such a person in his life in the future, who, when he ate delicious food, would also want to share it with him?

Just as he was lost in thought, the person next to him suddenly began to sigh. He raised his eyes again and saw that the person's face, which had been lively and cheerful just a moment ago, was now filled with sorrow and gloom.

"I don't know how Jingchen is doing. Is he injured? Those assassins should be targeting you, Your Majesty. They won't kill irrelevant people, right?"

Zhao Yunrong's tongue tip pressed against his teeth, and the displeasure in his heart gradually grew. He opened his lips and took a bite of the fish before he spoke casually, "What if Tang Jingchen unfortunately died at the hands of an assassin?"

Xiao Guoer looked at him talking about Tang Jingchen's life and death so lightly and casually, and suddenly felt that all the blood in her body rushed to her head.

At this time, no matter how many times you psychologically remind yourself not to be angry, it will be useless.

Xiao Guoer stood up excitedly, her face full of rage and anger, and she spoke without restraint, "Jingchen will not be in any danger! Don't talk nonsense! Bah, bah, bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! Don't say such unlucky words!"
