I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 67: 12. Shi Jing (Nuan)

The prince on the enemy side was shocked to see a woman dress up in a different outfit. Looking at

the way, she moves and fights. He was thoroughly awed and decided that whatever outcome this battle

will have. He will make sure to get her.

He turns to look at the female lead and indeed she's gorgeous. However, she's a slut and possesses

this great desire to obtain power. He is not a fool that he couldn't see her plan. He only rescued her

because he needed her ideas.

Meanwhile, back in the fight, Sheri heard the familiar warning inside her head.

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

Due to the sudden alarm, Sheri got distracted. Hence, giving Li Na the chance of striking at her face,

luckily Sheri dodges just in time only slightly scratching her face.

Lou Xi and Ru Shan were agitated when they saw Li Na hurt Sheri. Nevertheless, Sheri wipes the

blood on her face and smile.

"Not bad," Sheri said.

"Hahaha, you will never win," Li Na taunted.

Sheri continued to smile while keeping quiet. This time she focuses and disregards all the warnings

that the mechanical voice speaks. She jumps and only using one strike she slays the female lead. Li

Na falls to the ground, unmoving. Everyone was shocked and lost their voices for a moment.

When they ultimately grasped the situation, one of the neighboring princes gave his troops to retreat.

The army of the other country gave a signal to attack.

Lou Xi immediately sprinted toward Sheri and picked her up by her waist. While Sheri directly signaled

her father. Her father instantly gave the order to withdraw. The enemy troops moved forward. When

moving forward they trigger the traps hidden beneath.

At the same time, a multitude of arrows with fire at the tip showers on them. Many of the enemy

soldiers were burnt alive. The others that managed to dodge acquire minor injuries. In their minds, it

was now or never. Kill or be killed. Despite being significantly reduced, their footsteps never faltered.

Lou Xi, Ru Shan and the rest of the army meet the enemy soldiers halfway. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Sheri also joins the fight without realizing someone was stalking her from behind. A sudden yell takes

her concentration away from the fight and turns back.

"Shi Jing!" Ru Shan shouts

She saw Ru Shan back is facing her. Nevertheless, her attention was attracted to the blade that

penetrates deeply in his heart.

Her eyes widen as she saw him stab Li Na directly to the heart of Li Na. Li Na still managed to forcibly

remove the blade that Ru Shan used to stab her.

She was laughing bitterly while slowly falls to the ground.

Sheri caught Ru Shan.

"Help!" Sheri yelled while she slowly and gently laid him down on the ground. She instantly removes

her jacket and uses it to block the blood from oozing.

Ru Shan was looking at her the whole time.

"Hang on," she said before yelling out. "Lou Xi! Help!"

Her father manages to get to them together with some of his men and surrounds them. Lou Xi, then

again, is trying his best to get out from his enemy, but it seems they are all attacking him.

Sheri keeps shouting for help while trying to stop the bleeding. Her panic-stricken face warms Ru

Shan's heart. With his minimum strength left, he raises his hand and gently holds her cheek, he smiles.

"You are going to be alright," Sheri reassured him.

"I--" Ru Shan wasn't able to finish his sentence when he started to cough blood.

"Don't talk," Sheri gently said.

"I...adore you," Ru Shan said gloomily with his raspy voice. Blood tickles on the side of his mouth.

"Shhh don't talk, you can tell me when you are better," Sheri said this time she can't contain her tears.

They fell one by one.

"Be safe and live...well," Ru Shan said as he scarcely took a sharp breath and gasped, his hand that

was touching Sheri's face drops to the ground.

Sheri instantly froze.

Lou Xi came and knelt next to his brother. Being the crown prince, he mustn't let others see his

weakness, especially in front of the enemy. His heart is breaking as he gently closed Ru Shan's eyes

and carried him up. Sheri was still shocked and wasn't able to move. Her father kept on calling. He kept

defending her while Sheri was looking at her trembling bloody hands.

Out of nowhere, her consciousness shuts down and then replace by Jacklyn Eisner. When she opens

her eyes.

She soundlessly stands up and begins to attack. Every single move she makes, every single strike she

did was able to kill anyone who is in her path. Her father was in shock when he saw her daughter

moving forward without any care for her safety. She was like a madwoman that was able to crush

everyone.

The enemy who saw her started involuntarily trembling and desperately tried to surrender, but Sheri

didn't care. She brutally slays anyone on her path without mercy. Her father was able to see that her

eyes become dull and lifeless. He followed her and moved according to her movement. He called out to

her hoping for her to respond, but alas it was for naught. He was able to get close to her and press her

pressure points in her neck. Before she falls, he seizes her and immediately carried Sheri to safety.

(Sheri's fight above)

The enemies were able to witness how a woman single-handedly killed 50 people in one go. They were

frightened and started to retreat.

Lou Xi's men were shouting with joy when they saw their enemy is retreating.

On the other side of the road, a certain prince was hiding. There was no emotion on his face as he

looks at her being taken away by his father.

As the sun shines through falling on Sheri's face, she slowly woke up. She looked at her surroundings

and saw she was in a room. There she saw the lion robe of Lou Xi on the side together with his armor.

Sheri then looked beside her. Lou Xi was sitting on a chair beside the bed, sleeping while clasping her

hand.

He woke up when he feels her moving and saw her trying to move. He then proceeds to help her up.

"What happened? The last thing I remember..." she stopped talking as her eyes widened and looked at

Lou Xi. "Where is Ru Shan?" When he didn't answer right away, she immediately removed the blanket

that is covering her and was supposed to leave when Lou Xi stops her.

Lou Xi shooked his head gently. Sheri froze.

"It's my fault, isn't it?"Sheri gasp and asked.

Before she went to war, she had naturally expected that one way or another, that she will die. She truly

underestimated the female lead. It went beyond her calculations that Li Na would be able to

miraculously survive her attack. The female lead she saw that time was already oozing with blood from

her chest. And she knew for sure that the place where she stabbed was where her heart was. Maybe

due to her protagonist halo that instantly killing her would not be an easy feat.

Sheri is crying because she lost a good friend.

Lou Xi sits next to her as he pats her head.

"It's not your fault. It was never your fault. I need you to manage your emotions. We need to go back to

the capital to give him a proper burial." Lou Xi said.

Sheri wiped her tears and did what Lou Xi said.
