Yeonjun looked at Lisa with his lips pressed together for a long time before he said,
"Ok."
He added,
"But only after we enter the snow-capped mountains."
"Why?"
She was prepared to reach for the ball in her pocket and she looked at him in discontentment after she heard what he said.
He glanced at her hand.
"It's unsafe here."
She accepted his reasoning and nodded.
"Who are they? Why did they kill everyone on the floor last night?"
"People from an organization."
As for what organization they belonged to, Lu Yunxiao did not reveal it to her.
"The medicinal ingredient you took yesterday is a miracle medicine in Country C. There's only one of its kind and they stole it."
She subconsciously asked,
"You were helping the royal family of Country C to get this back?"
"No. I need this medicinal ingredient too."
It's no wonder that he had put in such a great deal of effort last night.
However, she still had something she did not understand.
"There were people in every suite. Did they all have a package in order to confuse you?"
"Yes."
The corner of her lips curled up.
"It seems like they're a little unlucky. It just so happened that the package that contained the medicinal ingredient was placed in my suite."
Yeonjun nodded and said,
"Pack up."
He left after saying that.
She had also gone to tidy up her belongings.
Little Loli just happened to return after Lisa finished packing everything. There was a rabbit skin in her hand.
She looked at her in confusion.
"Why did you bring that back?"
Little Loli said, "I want to make a hat made of rabbit skin. It'll definitely be very cute."
Lisa: "..."
Soon, someone had come over to call for Lisa.
When she and Little Loli came out, there were already several Off-Road Vehicles parked outside.
Everyone moved swiftly and got in the cars in the blink of an eye.
However, she discovered that some of them did not seem to be tagging along.
Just then, an ORV stopped before her. The person who opened the door was Yeonjun.
"Get in."
She motioned for Little Loli to get in first. She came to the driver's seat and pointed behind her. "The rest aren't following us?"
"They'll be staying."
Those who stayed were responsible for dealing with those who were chasing their tail. It was so that they had time to search for the medicinal ingredient.
She immediately understood.
But...
"Let me drive."
"No need."
He looked in front after he said that and did not spare her another glance.
"Get in."
She did not insist. She bypassed the front of the car and opened the backseat door.
After she got in, the car drove out.
They were at the foot of the snow mountains and the temperature was merely slightly lower than usual. The further the car went, the lower the temperature dropped. The heating inside the car was soon switched on and they did not feel the chilliness.
This snow mountain was very large and tall. The road towards the waist of the mountain was fairly flat and the slope also gradually got steeper. However, when they reached the mountain waist, the road was basically covered in snow and the slope was very steep.
Just then, she saw him informing everyone using a communication device.
"Alight and walk after driving for another half a kilometer."
She looked at the snow-white land before her and asked,
"What equipment did you prepare for entering the mountains?"
He gave her a short rundown and she nodded in response.
He added,
"There are mountaineering clothes in the back. Put them on first."
She turned around and saw a large bag in the back.
She took it and put on the mountaineering clothes.
The car stopped at that moment.
They had alighted swiftly and got dressed in mountaineering clothes. One of them stood there with a backpack while the other said to Yeonjun,
"Leader, everyone is ready."
He nodded and glanced at the luggage Lisa was carrying with her.
"Little Loli can carry my luggage."
Little Loli immediately lifted the luggage.
In the end, he did not say anything and led everyone towards the snowy mountains.
At first, everyone assumed that she would be a deadweight and all of them subconsciously slowed down slightly in preparation to take care of her.
But as time passed by, they came to realize that they were the deadweight instead.
Her luggage wasn't very big, but there were many useful things inside. She took out two circular balls from inside and swiftly configured them. Soon, they transformed into a snowboard.
As Little Loli was a robot, her legs had simply changed into a powered snowboard.
She placed her hands on Little Loli's shoulders and she led her away for a fun ride.
Everyone was dumbfounded at the sight, and they started picking up their speed shortly afterwards.
After they had been walking for quite some time, Little Loli suddenly said,
"Master, there's a helicopter heading in this direction. It's at..."
Little Loli reported a longitude and latitude.
Before Lisa spoke up, Yeonjun had got everyone to stop.
"Split up and search. Pay attention to conceal yourselves. Gather in the valley after you've found it."
What are you looking for?"
Lisa asked.
"Blood Lotus."
Her eyes brightened at the name.
"Little Loli and I came to look for the Blood Lotus too."
The Blood Lotus was not a Snow Lotus, but a very rare medicinal ingredient that was only available on the mountains of Country C. Moreover, it was not easily found.
As the Blood Lotus looked exactly the same as a Snow Lotus,but it would only turn blood red upon contact.
Lisa thought for a moment and said,
"Little Loli and I will be a team."
"No."
He tone was those that did not accept rejection for an answer.
"You shall go with me."
He did not even give her the opportunity to speak and walked away.
She glanced athis back view for several seconds before she followed in his footsteps.
Not only was the snow mountain large, the weather condition here was also very harsh. They did not walk for a long time before a snowstorm appeared.
Lisa raised her hand to block the wind that made her face hurt. Yeonjun's large physique then walked beside her, and it just happened to be the direction where the wind blew.
She looked at him and an inexplicably strange feeling surged in her heart.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but gave up in the end and asked,
"Do you know where there would be a Blood Lotus?"
"I don't know."
She thought for a moment and said,
"Why don't I get Little Loli to search?"
He looked towards Little Loli standing there obediently and said,
"I'd have to trouble you."
The corner of her lips curled up and she did not forget to remind him.
"You said we would fight when we arrived at the snow mountains."
He glanced at her for a second and shifted his gaze to the front.
With a deep voice, he said,
"We'll talk after we find the Blood Lotus."
She nodded and said to Little Loli,
"Use your detector to detect the Blood Lotus' position. Stand guard there after you find it and send me a signal."
"Noted, Master."
Little Loli put the luggage on the ground and with a jump, she flew away.
Just as Lisa planned to talk to him, he lifted her luggage and said,
"It's exposed here. Let's find a place to wait first."
He headed forwards after saying that.
Lisa and the other two men had hastily followed up to him.
Just as they found a big rock that blocked the wind, a helicopter flew over.
The people should have discovered the rest of their group, as it had flown straight in a certain direction.
⁍
He said to the other two,
"Take out the equipment."
The two men quickly put down their backpacks and took out several gun parts.
The parts were assembled quickly. It was a very powerful sniping gun.
Yeonjun took it and headed outside the protective area of the rock.
Lisa hastily called out to him.
"Lu Yeonjun."
He stopped.
"I'll go with you. I can accurately calculate their flight path so you can be more prepared in hitting the helicopter."
He refused.
"No."
He then continued walking.
She looked at his departing back view and clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction. She simply put her luggage on the ground and took out a tablet, before she chased towards where he went.
The two men had no time to stop her.
"Miss Zi, please come back!"
She had already run far away by that time.
After Yeonjun came out, he saw an open spot and aimed at the helicopter.
Sure enough, the bullet did not hit its target.
However, it had attracted the attention of the helicopter.
Lisa saw the incoming helicopter and rushed to his side.
The moment he saw her, he exuded strong anger, and his gaze became terrifying. He then growled at her.
"Who told you to come out? Go back!"
She pretended not to hear him and quickly tapped the tablet and told him.
"Aim at 57 degrees north latitude and 32 degrees east longitude and get ready."
He had unexpectedly understood her immediately and turned back to aim in the direction.
The helicopter approached them and the men riding on it had already aimed in their direction.
"Open fire."
Yeonjun had fired the shot before Lisa managed to finish her words.
The next second, he threw away the sniper rifle in his hand and turned around to grab Lisa as they jumped away.
BOOM!
BAM!
At the same time when the helicopter was struck and its wing fell towards the foot of the mountain, the place in which they stood earlier had also been hit.
Snow splattered all around and instantly covered the two who were rolling on the ground.
She did not have time to respond. The instant she was protected, she was momentarily stunned before she smelled a familiar scent.
This scent... it was impossible for their scents to be identical, even if they were biological siblings.
Therefore, this person...
Her heart rate suddenly sped up and she subconsciously tightened her hold on his clothes.
Yet, a hoarse voice sounded from the top and his voice contained undisguised concern.
"Are you alright?"
She looked up at him.
Currently, his back was covered in snow, including his eyebrows.
She originally planned to frankly ask him, but she subconsciously felt that he would not admit to it.
She quickly devised a plan and said,
"I seemed to have sprained my leg."
In order to increase the credibility of her words, she deliberately blinked and tried her best to squeeze out some droplets of water from her eyes.
He quickly got up without a care for the snow on his back. He squatted beside her with his lips pressed together tightly and asked,
"Which one?"
Lisa stared at him and randomly pointed. "This one."
He did not even suspect her in the slightest as he stretched out his hand to hold her ankle while preparing to take off her shoes to check on her condition.
Lisa hastily stopped him, and he turned to look at her.
When their gazes met, it seemed as if the surrounding wind and snow had come to a standstill.
Just then, she suddenly leaned forward and kissed his lips.
Their breathing intertwined and her heart rate increased.
It was this feeling.
She used her beautiful eyes and stared at the mask from a close distance.
The man before her only pushed her away two seconds later.
He neither admitted nor denied and stood up without speaking a single word. Under her gaze, he bent down and carried her as he headed in the direction of that large rock.
Lisa tightly held his neck and leaned her ears on his back to listen to his steady and powerful heartbeat.
The corner of her lips curled up.
After him carried her to the rock, he said to the two men who revealed shock in their eyes,
"Go out and get the sniper rifle."
The two of them immediately headed towards the vast white snow.
When they left, he tried to put her down.
However, she refused to cooperate. She tightly held onto his neck and softly asked,
"Why did you pretend to be him."
Jungkook looked down at the young lady in his embrace. He was currently feeling complicated deep down but still ended up saying,
"He's sick. The Lu Family's secret guards cannot be without their leader."
He only revealed this much.
Lisa understood after thinking for a moment and did not ask any more questions.
Taking advantage of the fact that the two men had yet to return, she whispered in his ears.
"Kook, I miss you very much."
He directly gave her a tight squeeze and let her hear his faster than usual heart rate.
The curve on the corner of her lips deepened.
She only got down from his arms after hugging him for a while longer.
She looked up at him with a sheen in her eyes.
He suppressed the urge to pull her back into his embrace and said,
"There'll be a helicopter coming later. You should return to the capital first."
"What about you?"
Lisa was a little reluctant.
"I still have something here. I'll go back in a few days at most."
Lisa thought for a moment and walked to her luggage. Upon opening it, she took out a bunch of gadgets.
"Bring these along with you. They can be of help when the time comes."
He took the items and kept them inside his backpack.
The two men who went looking for the sniper rifle returned very quickly.
They came over to the rock and disassembled it into several parts to store it into their bags.
After they waited for a while, her cell phone suddenly rang.
With the exception of Jungkook, the other two men looked at her in surprise.
There was no signal on the mountains so why did her phone ring?
She took out her phone and quickly tapped on it. Shortly after, Little Loli's somewhat excited voice sounded.
"Master, Master! I found the Blood Lotus. There's also a white bear beside it and it's very beautiful!"
Based on her tone of voice, she was clearly more interested in that white bear.
"Your position. We'll come over right now."
"Yes, Master."
When they rushed towards the location Little Loli provided, he had got in contact with his men.
After everyone arrived at where Little Loli was, they found her currently sitting on the back of a bear while excitedly stroking its fur.
All of them found the little girl in front of them to be very cute.
Only her lips twitched uncontrollably.
Little Loli was clearly interested in the fur of the white bear.
The moment the bear sensed people approaching, it was about to become irritable.
Little Loli patted its back in discontentment and unexpectedly caused it to slump on the ground.
"Don't shout. Else I'll give you a beating."
The white bear who almost suffered from internal injuries was trembling in fear.
Lisa could not continue watching it and asked,
"Where's the Blood Lotus?"
Little Loli pointed at the cliff in front of her.
"There."
Everyone turned in the direction where she was pointing. As expected, they saw several flowers with the appearance of a Snow Lotus on the cliff that was at least fifteen meters high.
Little Loli said,
"I went to double-check earlier. It's the Blood Lotus."
"Go and harvest it."
"Okay!"
