I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 63: 8. Shi Jing (Nuan)

Morning came. After, hasty breakfast. Sheri and Lou Xi walked resolutely their way toward the deep

forest. The whole time they've been carefully surveying and accurately mapping everything. This lush

forest was so dense that if a potential enemy invades they can pass through in that area and it will be

unknown by his troop.

They stop, to a not dense place and there they can see a mountain. Sheri was looking keenly and

carefully observing.

Suddenly a whip was heading toward her. Sheri dodge immediately when she overheard a swish

sound. A sweet laugh abruptly erupted.

"Hahaha, as I naturally thought of the son or should I say the beloved daughter of the mighty General,

you are indeed formidable." She said.

Sheri looked cautiously at the woman. She's wearing a dark purple robe with a mask on her face.

Sheri's one eyebrow went up.

"Who are you?" The crown prince asked.

"None of your business prince or should I say, the crown prince." She said.

Sheri didn't wait to finish their conversation. She executed a sneak attacked toward her. She only has a

small knife in her hand but it's either now or never.

The woman shelters her self by wielding her sword. Sheri did a non-stop attack.

While Sheri striking her. Sheri got a warning voice from her head.

"Warning, warning. Do not kill the main protagonist. Warning, Warning" The mechanical voice speaks.

Sheri was irritated in that familiar voice. Instead of carefully executing an offense attack, it instantly

turns to defense. She has a hunch that the woman is the female lead due to the way she fights. Now

her prime suspect was right. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

While dodging her attack she is little distracted when she saw the crown prince on the side leaning on

the tree. As if nothing is happening.

The woman suddenly used her sword and injured Sheri on her right side of her arm. Sheri steps

backward to intentionally allow a considerable distance between them.

"Enough, Lou Xi shouts." The woman restrains and walks delicately toward the crown prince. Sheri can

reflect the disappointment in the woman's eyes while walking toward Lou Xi.

"Why don't you want me to finish her? The woman asked sweetly.

"Is it necessary to kill her now? You already injure her. That's enough." Lou Xi grimly said.

"But it's not enough. She's a nuisance to us." The woman said while eagerly seizing his brawny arms

while looking at Sheri. The woman is giving off a killing intent while looking at Sheri. At that rare

moment, Sheri felt very emotional.

Sheri is looking at the woman and Lou Xi. Considerable pain naturally arises in her heart while looking

at them. She was betrayed by her so-called best friend.

Sheri was supposed to carry out a killing spree when the sound of the alarm went through her head

again.

"Warning, warning, warning Don't kill the protagonist. Don't kill the protagonist." The mechanical voice

said.

Sheri was shouting fiercely in her head." There must be an exception to the rules. System it's either

she dies or I die. Choose." She said in her thought.

"Host I'll get back to you soon I will ask the boss." the mechanical voice said. He responded because if

he doesn't his host will be gone and it will be on his record. Every system wants to possess a clean

record.

Sheri didn't wait for any further and escapes leaving Lou Xi and Li Na the female protagonist. Behind.

"Don't rush. In due time." Lou Xi said. That's the final thing Sheri heard. Sheri was thinking of her

Father at that moment. She needs to escape for her to warn him.

Sheri was in pain physically and emotionally. She couldn't believe her best friend would betray her. She

never even imagines. In the story, it speaks of how loyal he is toward the owner's body. Sheri doesn't

understand why. Why would Lou Xi do such a thing?

She invariably contains so many emotions that running through her head and felt for the first time in her

life that she wanted to cry.

It's like a flash images run through her head. The years that they've been together. All the laughs and

all the pleasant things they did before were naturally meant nothing toward him. Her eyes become so

blurred, she can't see anymore where she's going.

Sheri stops from running and carefully wipe her tears. She rips part of her inner rope and wraps her

injured arm. She gathers her emotions and the first thing she wanted to do is to go and notify her

father. She runs as fast as she could going out of the forest. Sheri has a topographic memory. It's easy

for her to carefully navigate the forest.

Her body is not in the right condition but for the sake of his father she came out of the forest and

arrived in one of the villages.

She promptly went and searches for a horse. Her luck was on her side. She saw a horse tied in a

nearby house.

She went in and stealthily approached the horse.

"What are you doing? Hey," Shouts the woman.

Sheri jumps and saddles the horse.

She opens her pouch and throws towards the woman's a gold ingot. The woman catches and looks at

it. She was immediately delighted. The gold can secure her 4 horses. She looked at Sheri but Sheri

already gallops toward the northern border.

The whole time she rides non-stop. She has no water, and the horse is also tired. Her lips start to

crack. Every movement she does makes her injury re-open. Sheri endures for the sake of her father.

He might not be her real Father but Sheri already considered him. Since she grows up and she saw

how he lovingly takes good care of her.

"I'm sorry, but you have to bear with me we're nearly there," Sheri said toward the horse.

The horse seems to understand her and went faster.

"Thank you," Sheri said toward his ear.

11/2 days of galloping she arrived at the northern border in the morning.

Sheri covers herself up making sure she conceals her self. She doesn't trust Lou Xi anymore after what

he has done toward her. Who knows what he did with his father's people.

There were so many people coming inside the town due to the unrest. They wanted to find a shelter

from the invasion of the neighboring country.

Sheri walks normally and looks at the soldier. Luckily they didn't recognize her due to, she makes sure

she looked like a peasant and a girl.

When she came in, she saw her pictures overall. That was the last portrait she sends toward Lou Xi

because he asked. Sheri furrowed her brow she becomes a wanted person.

Sheri didn't convey any emotion she passed by and got toward an inn.

She gives the inn boy a gold ingot for the horse to feed and keep for a while until she will get the horse

back.
