Chapter 5
Seeing that she was about to fall within striking distance of the guy, the system suddenly took on an unusually pleasant tone.
Before the guy could attack, Ye Yunxi suddenly experienced a burst of speed. She found her limp and weakened body instantly strengthening!
That was right, her strength had returned. She was in peak form!
She quickly lowered her body and snaked through the dense bushes, running away at top speed!
Di Junxie was stunned for a moment, watching wide-eyed as the girl he had almost caught just now slipped right through his fingers and gradually put a growing distance between then.
A sudden surge in speed?
He frowned, a sense of viciousness about him growing stronger.
Was this lass stringing him along?
He narrowed his dark eyes as they grew deeper and darker. His gaze was fixed on Ye Yunxi, memorizing every movement she made, right down to her last strand of hair, searing these in his memory.
She’d better not let him catch hold of her!!
Seeing that she had successfully pulled away, Ye Yunxi smiled satisfactorily. Just three more flights into the thick foliage, and she would shake him off for good!
The first time!
Taking a good measure of the distance, she fell sideways into the foliage. This shocked Di Junxie. He sped toward her, but she had already disappeared into thin air. He stood among the trees with a stone face, his icy gaze like a precision instrument scanning the environment.
She shouldn’t be too far off.
Whoosh!
A patch of distant foliage shook. Without losing a moment, Di Junxie flew in that direction!
Ye Yunxi clicked her tongue. What sort of sharp acumen was this?
He had the alertness and sensitivity of a hunting beast!
Was he human?
She looked at the time. Three minutes left. Ye Yunxi didn’t think twice and twisted her body the second time as she sunk into the foliage again.
Whoosh!
Di Junxie frowned. He sprung in that direction!
However, like before, he found nothing as he scanned the surroundings. That young woman had vanished like a vapor, stirring a sense of anxiety and impatience in him to locate her!
As someone who had snatched Di Junxie’s bag of resources right from under his eyes and disappeared repeatedly, she had undoubtedly proven herself competent.
His expression darkened. Not only did he not panic, but he also became even more focused and calm.
He was beginning to find this person intriguing. He had to capture her!
He heard the sound of rustling fabric.
A barely audible sound made by friction between the fabric. It was so soft no one would have noticed it, but still, Di Junxie charged in that direction.
Ye Yunxi turned pale. Most people would not have noticed that!
How did this person manage to hear the slightest noise??
Tsk!
Ye Yunxi gathered all her strength to make a sprint.
Having spotted the figure that disappeared without a trace earlier on, Di Junxie smirked as his mood suddenly lightened.
“Panicking now, you little rat?”
“Let’s watch who will make a slip first!”
“Since the person who made the slip would be the loser!”
“One minute more!”
The system reminded out of kindness.
“Got it!”
Ye Yunxi lowered her gaze. Last chance!
“Come on then!”
Whatever the case, she would not let herself be captured, not in her past life, and not now!
She took a measure of the distance, aimed at her target, and made her third dash with a twist of her body!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two figures dived into the foliage almost simultaneously. Ye Yunxi hid in the thick bushes the second she touched the ground. In her camouflage garment, she was practically invisible!
Had he lost her?
Di Junxie knitted his forehead tightly as the atmosphere grew somber.
His eyes swept every corner until he saw an odd color.
The color of the camouflage print.
“Ha, little rat, I’ve found you!”
