HRPM – Chapter 338 Turning Back

Beneath her, Bai Hu immediately stiffened. Even his pace slowed, making it obvious that he was struggling fiercely inside.

“But His Highness will be furious.”

“Who cares if he gets furious? Is one scolding more important than his life? Besides, he’s not an unreasonable person. He’ll definitely understand your good intentions. Turn around. Let’s go back and save him. With my intelligence, his crafty scheming, and your martial skills backing us up, I refuse to believe we can’t handle a bunch of rabble.”

Bai Hu was moved by Jin Luoluo’s words. His expression hardened with resolve, and he finally turned around, sprinting back the way they had come.

When they returned to the spot, both Bai Hu and Jin Luoluo were greatly shocked.

Good heavens—there were nearly a hundred of them.

No matter how skilled Bai Hu was, if that many bandits each spat once, it would be enough to drown him.

Looking ahead, they saw a dense mass of people surrounding Xiao Luo. Whatever method he had used, the bandits had actually become careless enough to approach him and try to capture him.

Hearing the commotion, Xiao Luo looked over and saw Jin Luoluo and Bai Hu had returned.

He did not know whether to feel happy or worried.

Bai Hu would never have disobeyed his orders on his own. Jin Luoluo must have persuaded—or pressured—him into coming back.

The fact that she was willing to take such a risk to save him…

Did it mean she cared about him?

“Huh? Two more people have come! Heh heh, and there’s a great beauty among them. If we sell her to a brothel, she should fetch a pretty good price!”

Among the bandits, a particularly sleazy, monkey-faced man let out a lecherous laugh.

Then another voice spoke, harsh and sinister, like rusty iron scraping against iron, cold and damp like a crawling snake.

“Hmph. These people must be connected to the soldiers who attacked our stronghold. We can’t let them off so easily. Kill the men outright. As for the woman, have some fun with her first, then kill her.”

Hearing this, Jin Luoluo wished she could cut these disgusting, vile scum into a thousand pieces.

Unfortunately, there were only three of them against nearly a hundred bandits.

Killing them all was unrealistic.

The best strategy was to find a way to escape.

“Put me down.”

Bai Hu set Jin Luoluo on the ground. He drew the long saber from his waist and, with his other hand, took out a concealed weapon from inside his robe, standing guard in front of her.

Meanwhile, Jin Luoluo quickly pulled a string of objects from the short tube strapped to her back, then took out a fire starter.

The bandits had long since been captivated by her fairy-like beauty. Many of them were already eager to act, itching to rush forward and seize her.
