Tame or Be Captured (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 021
Naji, right in the middle of his growth spurt, stuffed bread into his mouth ravenously and immediately sprawled out atop the luggage, falling fast asleep.
Jackal thickly laid wolf pelts on the ground and spoke to Asha.
“You should close your eyes for a while too. You must have been under a lot of stress today.”
“Oh… yes. Thank you….”
Asha lay down on her side, using the luggage as a pillow.
Since they needed to replenish their strength as much as possible to evade pursuit, everyone silently went straight to sleep without chatter.
However, Jackal remained awake alone, leaning against the cave entrance to quietly keep watch outside, protecting his comrades.
At this very moment, the knights were likely also taking turns standing guard and searching the surroundings.
Even in a cave, lighting a fire would greatly increase the chance of being discovered.
After all, it was the hunter’s instinct to react to even the smallest flicker of light or a wisp of smoke.
To escape pursuit and flee as safely as possible, enduring this minor discomfort was the right choice.
The organization members shivered from the cold but didn’t complain, forcing themselves to sleep.
Asha, too, trembled uncontrollably, drifting between dream and reality, when suddenly she felt another blanket being gently draped over her.
The familiar sensation told her instantly—even without looking—that it was Jackal.
Warmth spreading through her body, Asha finally drifted off into deep sleep.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
No way…did Karaf set up this situation with the assassin or kidnapping attempt to earn points?
Not practically, it is a form of torture. Jackel didn’t jump into the water on his own while tied to the boulder.
It seems backward that the Empress is invited to a Duchess’ tea party.
