Chapter 481 The Female Supporting Character Who Was Reborn as a Female Cannon Fodder 26
"Help!"
"Is there anyone? Come and save my cousin!"
"Help!"
Cousin Shen was running staggeringly, shouting non-stop. Somewhere in the woods, Di Chengyu heard the roar of a bear and stopped where he was, asking the secret guards to find out what was going on. He suddenly looked up and looked towards the source of the sound!
"Master, it's the young lady from General Shen's mansion who is crying for help. She is seriously injured. That roar must be the bear she encountered."
Hearing the voice, another hidden guard went to investigate. After discovering the person's identity, he immediately came back to report. Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengyu's expression suddenly changed. She is the granddaughter of General Shen, so the cousin she was talking about must be Little Lantern!

"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Under the towering tree, a giant black bear was banging against the trunk frantically. The leaves were shaking off and rustling down. It bared its teeth and hugged the trunk, trying to climb up.
With a "whoosh" sound, a sharp arrow shot down from above.
"Roar!" The black bear's movements were stopped again, and it stared fiercely at the person on the tree.
Sheng Huan leaned against the tree, staring at the huge creature on the ground without blinking, to avoid the black bear, an expert in tree climbing, coming up in one moment.
The man and the bear were in a stalemate. The black bear beat his chest. The smell of blood stimulated his nerves. He was already hungry after hibernation and became even more manic.
"Bang!" It crashed into the big tree again.
This bear really didn't give up at all, Sheng Huan sighed, and became more alert. Knowing that the rescuers were coming, she showed no mercy and pulled out the last arrow from her back. Pull the string and release the arrow.
The black bear dodged and roared loudly. After a few seconds, it repeated the action and continued to shake and hit the tree. However, this time it did this for a while and did not wait for the sharp arrow to shoot down. It knew that the human in the tree might have no weapon.
"Roar!" The black bear used his hands and feet to climb up the tree nimbly.
When Di Chengyu flew over, he saw the shivering girl in orange holding the tree trunk tightly with a pale face, and under her was a giant bear that was approaching her. The tree trunk was bent under the weight of the giant bear. Not only that, the giant bear was even about to grab the girl's feet.
His heart tightened, his palms began to sweat, and he immediately released the arrow.
Sheng Huan reached out and grabbed the branch of another big tree nearby, and was about to jump over.
With a "roar!", the black bear was shot. Its arms waved subconsciously and it fell from the tree.
As the weight was reduced, the trunk suddenly straightened up and Sheng Huan lost his balance.
"what!"
An orange figure fell from the sky. The woman screamed in surprise. The man in the dark took a deep breath and leaped forward, stepping on the leaves.
The next moment, Sheng Huan felt her waist tighten, and she fell into a broad, familiar embrace with a cold fragrance.
She subconsciously looked up and saw the man's superior jawline. She seemed to be overly frightened and stared at him blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
The woman's hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and there were several scratches on her face from tree branches. She looked pitiful and helpless, so beautiful and pitiful, and even more... heartbreaking.
"Don't be afraid." After Di Chengyu stood firm, he lowered his eyes to look at her. His gaze fell on her slightly red and frightened eyes, and he gently comforted her: "It's okay."
"I...be careful!"
She pursed her lips as if she saw something, her pupils shrank slightly, and suddenly all her strength burst out, forcibly pulling him to change their positions. But unexpectedly, before she could stand firmly, the next moment, Di Chengyu turned around and pulled her back, blocking her in front of her in a protective posture.
"Roar!" The black bear had just stood up, staggering with its claws outstretched, but before it could get close, a sword rushed towards it with the internal force and pierced directly into its chest, passing through it.
With a "bang", the black bear fell to the ground and was silent.
When she heard the sound, her eyelashes trembled faster and she was still frightened.
"I'm here." Feeling her body trembling slightly, tears gathering in her eyes but unable to be hidden, the man pressed her into his arms, gently stroking her head, his usually light voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible panic, he said: "Cry if you want to."
Just now, when Little Lantern saw the black bear rushing towards her, she wanted to protect him with her body. He saw it all. His Little Lantern was really brave, Di Chengyu thought, and even had another thought in his mind, whether she also had him in her heart, otherwise why would she protect him.
Di Chengyu's solemn expression seemed to relax a little, but such a dangerous action... he thought, let it go next time.
The man said in a deep voice: "The black bear is dead. It can't bully the girl, nor can it bully me."
When the woman heard his words, perhaps because of his comfort, her emotions became so tense that she could no longer control herself and cried in the man's arms.
"Woooooooo..."
Di Chengyu gently touched her head, silently comforting her. The man's finger bones were clearly visible, and his movements were gentle, which made people feel at ease.
"That's it! Go save my watch--"
Cousin Shen's anxious words came to an abrupt halt when she saw the scene before her.
The several imperial guards who came with them, as well as Gongsun Huaili, who was hunting nearby and rushed over after hearing the black bear's roar, were all stunned on the spot.
This is their emperor?! The imperial guards were at a loss. They had followed the emperor for so many years, but they had never seen him so close to any woman. They had never thought that there was anything romantic about the emperor.
Their emperor was invincible on the battlefield. He was fierce, powerful, and people looked up to him, but now, the emperor finally had his tenderness.
No one doubted this point. After all, no one could get close to him without the emperor's permission.
Gongsun Huaili looked at the man and woman in the distance in shock. In a flash, he seemed to understand why the emperor had looked at the Shangshu and him in such a strange and vicious way these days.
Did the Emperor know that his mother was going to tell his aunt about his marriage with his cousin, that's why...
Gongsun Huaili was still guessing when he saw Di Chengyu looking up from a distance. His narrow, dark eyes fell on Gongsun Huaili. He was strong, overbearing, and unconcealed. He was silently declaring his sovereignty.
Everyone knelt.
Emperor Chengyu raised his hand slightly, and the imperial guards moved away silently, while cousin Shen was also taken away to be treated for her injuries in a daze.
Behind the shadow of a tree, Wang Yeling's pupils suddenly shrank and he hid subconsciously.
Sheng Huan cried for a long time before she finally stopped. She raised her head from the man's arms and saw a wet spot on the front of his clothes. She sniffed embarrassedly and her cheeks turned a little red.
"Thank you, thank you."
"You're welcome." Di Chengyu looked at her tear-stained face, and his hands were faster than his brain as he picked up a handkerchief and wiped her face.
When the handkerchief fell on her face, she froze and looked at him helplessly: "Emperor..."
Di Chengyu came back to his senses, looked at her eyes which were clear after being washed by tears, and paused for a moment: "Wipe off the stains on your face."
"I, I'll do it myself."
"Ah."
The man handed her the handkerchief. His eyes seemed calm, but when he looked at her, there was always a vortex of suffocating heat, so hot that people dared not look directly at it. She subconsciously reached out to take it, and when her eyes touched his, she panicked.
"Miss Gu." The man suddenly said at this time: "I heard that you are proficient in piano playing. I have a song here. I have been thinking about it recently. I am always worried that I can't play it well. Can you teach me a thing or two?"
Sheng Huan clutched the handkerchief tightly, bewildered: "What song?"
He looked at her, his thin lips slightly parted, his eyes deep, and every word was hot: "Phoenix, please, Phoenix."
