Chapter 8 – Got You (Part Five)

[Ding! Prestige +20!]

Though her posture clinging tightly to the cliffside wasn’t particularly graceful, the System’s notification still lifted Ye Yunxi’s spirits.

40 Prestige points now—enough to exchange for 4 more Stamina points~~

But she’d probably shaken off that guy by now, right? So she could save these four Stamina points for the final stretch.

Tilting her head up and listening carefully, she couldn’t tell if he had left, but to be safe, she decided to hang on a little longer.

Yes, hanging on a bit longer was safer!

Up on the cliff, Di Junxie indeed hadn’t left. His gaze was heavy as he stared down at the bottom of the cliff.

The cliff wasn’t extremely high—about the height of a five-story building—but a fall would still be fatal. Yet, would that clever little woman really fall to her death?

No, she wouldn’t. There must be a foothold down there!

Di Junxie took another step forward, scrutinizing carefully.

Sure enough, about ten meters down, there was a protruding ledge where someone could stand!

Was she down there?

If he didn’t go down to retrieve her, would that little thing never be able to climb back up?

After a moment’s thought, Di Junxie turned, secured the rope to a tree, and began inching his way down along the cliff face.

When he landed on the ledge, he instinctively looked around. There was no cave, no hiding spot—just a bare, protruding rock with nowhere to conceal anyone.

Could she really have fallen to her death?

Di Junxie looked further down. The rocky shoal at the base of the cliff was empty.

So she hadn’t fallen?

But where was she?

A gentle breeze brushed by, the surroundings utterly silent. Suddenly, Di Junxie had a bad feeling.

He whipped his head around—the rope he’d used to climb down was gone!

Looking up, he saw the little woman standing at the cliff top, casually toying with his rope!

“Hey, I told you, no one can catch me. You’re no exception!”

Ye Yunxi flashed a triumphant smile, tossed the rope into the grass, and pointed arrogantly at Di Junxie. “I’ll send someone to rescue you after I reach the finish line, Last Place Jun~~”

With a cheerful whistle, Ye Yunxi happily strode away.

[Ding! Prestige +50!]

Heh, so much? Did completely shaking him off directly grant 50 points??

Ye Yunxi grew even more delighted.

Meanwhile, halfway down the cliff, Di Junxie furrowed his brow tightly.

He’d been tricked!!

And for the second time!

Twice in one day!

First with that vest, now with this cliff!

That little woman certainly had some skills, toying with him like this!

Di Junxie was thoroughly displeased, but soon, a smile crept back onto his face.

No matter. This was just one competition. If he couldn’t catch her here, surely he could at school, right?

Little woman, no rush. We’ll take our time playing back at school!

Activating his wrist communicator, Di Junxie said coldly, “Send a helicopter to pick me up!”

“Hahaha, alright! What, giving up already??”

Di Junxie glanced up at the cliff. This time, he’d lost. This competition was over for him!

“Let me see where you are… Wow, your position is so weird! You’re on a cliff! The contour lines show you’re hanging on a cliffside—how on earth did you get there??”

Di Junxie: …

So many unnecessary questions!

“You have one minute!”

Mo Yuxiang chuckled. The Young Emperor was angry. He quickly contacted the helicopter and, riding along, eagerly rushed to the cliffside, ready to witness Di Junxie’s predicament.The renowned top talent of the Royal Military Academy, Young Emperor Di Junxie, was left hanging off a cliff after confronting a beautiful girl!

This kind of explosive news only comes once in a millennium—if you miss it, you’ll never get to see it in this lifetime!!!
