Chapter 143: Battle to the Death

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Ying recalled that when the pit had collapsed, she had seen many broken tree roots in the pit. The pit didn’t look too deep, but if the bottom had been dug out long ago and the bottom they had seen was just a fake bottom made up of tree roots, it would explain why the pit had suddenly collapsed to such a deep level.

Su Ying and Xiao Jin went around the slope and saw Aunt Zhao and the others hard at work searching for something.

“Mistress, Mistress, where are you?” Aunt Zhao and the others had been shouting until their voices were hoarse beyond recognition. Their gaits were also so unsteady that they almost couldn’t stand on their feet, but they still had no intention of stopping.

“Mistress, Mistress…”

“Bai Shuang! Aunt Zhao!”

Su Ying ran over and answered loudly.

Bai Shuang and Aunt Zhao froze as if someone pressed the pause button. Then, they turned around and when they saw Su Ying, they thought that they were hallucinating!

“Mistress! It’s Mistress! It’s really Mistress!” Aunt Zhao cried out in joyous surprise. She threw herself into Su Ying’s arms without hesitation and burst into tears.

“Oh, Mistress! It’s great that you’re fine.”

“Mistress, Mistress!” Bai Shuang also rushed over and hugged Su Ying tightly.

The other people heard the commotion and ran over. When they saw Su Ying standing in front of them in one piece, they were all shocked and in disbelief.

“It’s great that Mistress is still alive!”

“That’s right! It’s great!”

Everyone’s eyes became red-rimmed. They couldn’t imagine how they managed to survive the past two days, searching and putting out the fire. Fortunately, there weren’t much greenery and trees on the slope, and Xiao Jin had quickly ordered people to remove the vegetation around the fire zone earlier. Otherwise, who knew how long this fire would have taken to be put out?

However, the most fortunate thing was that Su Ying was still alive!

“Mistress, you’re not a human. You must be a God!”

After hearing the news, Number One and the others also rushed over and gazed upon Su Ying with increasing respect in their eyes. They almost knelt down in front of Su Ying. This time, they would be kneeling down with heartfelt respect for Su Ying, and not in fear of her as they felt in the past.

Number One had lived for so many years, but he had never seen anyone like Su Ying, who couldn’t be killed regardless of what the adversary did!

“Madam Su! Madam Su! Ah ah ah…” Qiao Yang sprinted toward Su Ying.

However, before he could pounce on Su Ying, he was stopped by a tall figure.

Xiao Jin held Qiao Yang’s head with his hand emotionlessly, keeping him at least three steps away from Su Ying.

Qiao Yang flailed his arms in anger as he struggled, but Xiao Jin’s hand was clasped firmly on his head like an iron clamp holding him in place. He couldn’t move forward at all.

Qiao Yang was downright furious. He used all his strength to push away Xiao Jin’s hand and landed on the ground on his butt in the process.

“Xiao Jin, you cripple…” Qiao Yang was in the middle of cursing when he saw two long legs appear clearly in front of him. Oh, right. How come this cripple Xiao Jin was standing up? And he was so… tall!

“I’m fine. I climbed out of the pit to hide when the fire started, but because the fire was too big, I was trapped in one place and couldn’t go back in time. I’ve made everyone worry.”

“It’s good that Mistress has returned safely. It’s good that you’re fine,” Uncle Hea said in a hoarse voice.

Zhang Cuiniang’s eyes were also bloodshot and swollen. “Mistress, you should go back now. The Young Master and the others are still waiting for you.”

Su Ying was also worried about her two precious ones. “Mm-hmm. The fire here is almost extinguished. Leave some people here to clean up the mess. The rest of you can go back and rest.”

Su Ying then instructed Number One to carry the people she had rescued from the pit back to the Tiger Base.

“You go back first. Leave the things here to Qiao Yang and the others.”

Su Ying nodded. “Mm-hmm. Aunt Zhao, all of you come back with me.” She saw that the eyes of Aunt Zhao and the others were swollen up like steam buns, and their throats were hoarse. If they didn’t go back and take the medicine in time, they might develop an infection, and it would be troublesome to treat them at that juncture.

Since they had found Su Ying, there was no need for Aunt Zhao and the rest to stay any longer. All the women followed Su Ying back.

At this moment, the person who was hiding in the dark was completely stunned. He thought that he had seen wrong and kept rubbing his eyes, trying to ascertain that the person not far away was not Su Ying!

However, the reality was cruel. That person was indeed Su Ying!

This guy did not dare to delay any further. He turned around and ran in the direction of the Azure Dragon Base.

He stumbled and scrambled back to the Azure Dragon Base and rushed all the way to the main hall.

“Leader, Leader, bad news, bad news! Su Ying isn’t dead! That woman isn’t dead!”

Wu Feng immediately sat up from the tiger bench. “What did you say? What did you just say? Say it again!”

“Leader, Su Ying didn’t die! I saw that woman when I was checking around the slope just now. She has already returned to the Tiger Base.”

The whole hall fell silent as soon as that guy finished speaking. No one spoke for a long time.

“Rascal, did you see it clearly? Are you sure it’s that woman?” Wu Feng slowly spoke up, his voice sounding somewhat deliberate and wary.

“Yes, it’s her. I can recognize her even if she has turned to ash.” The last time Su Ying came to battle the eleven commanders, their eyes had been totally opened. How could he not recognize such a character?

Wu Feng’s hand was a little stiff as he picked up the wine on the table and drank it in one gulp with a numb expression. “There are so many of us in the Azure Dragon Base. I don’t believe that we can’t deal with one woman. Pass down my orders. Send more people to the Tiger Base. This time, either they die or we die in the battle between the Azure Dragon Base and the Tiger Base!” “Yes, Sir!”

The Azure Dragon Base gathered almost all of their men to attack the Tiger Base.

Meanwhile, Su Ying had returned home with Aunt Zhao and the others.

The alpha wolf leader that was guarding the courtyard entrance puffed out its chest and raised its head as it howled at Su Ying. It then quickly bounded toward her. Just as it reached her, it flipped over and revealed its soft belly.

Su Ying chuckled and patted its head. “Not bad, doggy. You’re getting better at guarding the house.”

After receiving praise, the alpha wolf leader howled again and followed Su Ying into the courtyard, panting happily.

Chu Yun, who was keeping watch over the courtyard, saw Su Ying and the others walking back from a distance. For some reason, when he saw that Su Ying was back in one piece, he let out a deep breath of relief.

He wasn’t worried about her, but he could tell from the Young Master and the Prince’s reactions that if something really happened to Su Ying, they wouldn’t be able to take the blow psychologically.

Although Su Ying was despicable, it was undeniable that she was the reason they were able to survive this entire journey.

“Mother! Mother has returned!”

“It’s true! Mother! Mother!”

When the two little ones saw Su Ying, they immediately broke free from Chu Yun’s grip and dashed toward her..
