After provoking the holy maiden of Miao territory, she was infected with a love curse.

Before we knew it, it was midnight.

Yin Huaixi opened her tightly closed eyelids and quietly groped her way up.

Having learned from the previous experience.

This time, getting out of Sang Che's embrace became exceptionally easy.

Yin Huaixi had already asked the innkeeper for the key, and she got dressed.

He ran his fingers over the rough texture of the key, then looked down at Sang Che lying on the couch.

She understood that Sang Che had brought her out to relax and let her stretch her muscles in this bandit stronghold with a more Han Chinese feel, in order to lower her guard.

Boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

Furthermore, Sang Che openly uses Gu techniques in public, and she is not threatening those overconfident passersby.

She... is so cunning.

It was an act for her.

Squat down.

Yin Huaixi gently stroked the stray hairs falling across Sang Che's forehead with her fingers. Looking at Sang Che's face, she felt a mix of emotions.

She originally thought that Sang Che would take her back and torture her, or tie her up with ropes so that she could not move.

Let it be.

But Sang Che had never done any of these things.

During her time in the village, Sang Che also taught her a lot about pharmacology and how to cure difficult and complicated diseases.

She had never been exposed to these things before.

You can't learn it after learning it once, and you still can't learn it after learning it twice.

Sang Che was neither angry nor furious; he simply continued to comfort her and tell her not to lose faith.

Having just seen her second sister last night, Yin Huaixi guessed that she was taking the risk of contacting her frequently.

They must find a way to get her out of danger.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be this fast.

Thinking of this, Yin Huaixi lowered her eyes, since she was about to leave anyway.

Then she would quietly say goodbye to Sang Che.

This can be considered as fulfilling her wish.

Slightly moist lips landed softly on Yin Huaixi's forehead, and Yin Huaixi murmured to herself.

—"Sang Che, I hope your eyes get better."

"Don't blame me for leaving you."

...

Moon stars are rare.

The inn door creaked softly, and Yin Huaixi poked her foot out.

The shoes she was wearing were the men's style that she had secretly bought before.

Yin Huaixi did this to prevent A Cai and Yi Yun from noticing anything amiss.

She was acting suspiciously, glancing left and right.

After confirming that there was no one on the street, he crouched down and headed towards the dock.

Her figure was concealed by a black cloak.

soon.

Yin Huaixi went to the place where she had met the salted fish vendors before. The dock was still bustling with people, presumably because those people had robbed another batch under the cover of night.

I wonder who was so unlucky.

Her slender hands removed the dark cloak, and the lamplight illuminated Yin Huaixi's profile.

"Why did you call me here this morning?"

Yin Huaixi knew that Sang Che would not wake up once he fell asleep, but she still had to get back within half an hour.

just in case.

The woman didn't say anything. She squatted down, pulled out a cloth bundle from under the stall, and quickly stuffed it into Yin Huaixi's hands.

"This is the identity prepared for you."

"In a few days, a large ship will sail here, around this time."

"I will arrange everything for you."

Clutching the package in her arms and concealing it under her black cloak, Yin Huaixi heard the man continue, "When the time comes, you'll come aboard with me."

"Don't say anything, no matter what they ask."

"That way... you can get out."

Touching the package with her fingers, Yin Huaixi could feel the soft fabric and the stiff little objects inside.

These must be essential items for boarding and leaving the ship; they can't be lost.

She nodded and didn't say anything more.

Returning to the inn with brisk steps, Yin Huaixi feared that if she was even a little late, Sang Che would catch her and interrogate her on the spot.

However, after sneaking into the inn and reaching the corner of the stairs, Yin Huaixi smelled a strong and familiar fragrance.

This isn't the pleasant scent that Sang Che usually has!

It was the incense those two put out last night!

My mind immediately went blank.

Yin Huaixi didn't know the other party's strength, but judging from the modus operandi, they must be someone who was used to using despicable tricks.

If it were daytime, Yin Huaixi wouldn't be so worried about Sang Che.

While other children played with poisons as kids, these ordinary people were still playing house and playing in the mud.

They were arguing about who should be the mother and who should be the father.

But it is night now.

If Sang Che's cold poison flares up and he loses his sight, without anyone to take care of him, his life will be in danger.

He reached out and covered his mouth and nose.

Tie the package around her waist, and then rummaged through her clothes, pulling out a delicate, small dagger.

The wisest thing to do at this moment would be to loudly call for Yiyun and Manager Acai to come over. Unfortunately, Yin Huaixi is still wearing a cloak, looking like a thief.

If the shopkeeper and the two maids beside Sang Che were to see this, trouble would inevitably ensue.

If she had told Sang Che, all the anxiety and worry she had felt these past few days would have been for nothing.

There's a risk of being caught and brought back to the village immediately, and we can't even stay in this bandit's den, the only place where we can get close to the Han people!

His fingers gripped the hilt of the dagger tightly.

Yin Huaixi held her breath, pressing her ear against the door, refusing to inhale the alluring fragrance.

...

The two men, who had already pried open the window and sneaked in, crouched by the wall and observed for a while.

There was no movement from inside the curtain.

It seemed that the owner of the side room had fallen into a deep sleep.

"I've never seen such a beautiful woman in this village before."

"Apart from the chieftain's concubines, none of the women who are exposed to the elements can compare to her beauty."

As he spoke, his throat moved.

The man swallowed hard.

It seems the woman is really craving it.

"You idiot, don't look at that bed! Haven't you heard... that these women who can use Gu poison have Gu worms on their bodies? If you touch her... the Gu worms will burrow into your body and devour you completely, leaving only a skin as a breeding ground for the Gu worms..."

These words brought the man to his senses, and he reluctantly looked away.

"Our most urgent task now is to find where they hid their money."

"Take your things out, and you can leave."

The reason the two dared to speak in hushed tones was because the incense was exceptionally effective; they had never failed to use it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to provoke this woman who carries Gu worms.

But the more capable a woman is, the more money she has.

If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won the tiger.

He tiptoed to the cabinet, used a knife to pry open the latch, and heard a soft "creak".

The cabinet door opened.

There were many packages in the cabinet.

The two were overjoyed.

But just then, a soft cough came from the bedside.

Sang Che, supporting his weak shoulders, called out, "Huai Xi."

With the prize about to slip away, how could the two of them bear to give it up?

Yin Huaixi, who was outside the door, also heard Sang Che's weak voice. She was anxious and didn't care about anything else.

Aiming at the gap in the door of the side room, he kicked it.

Just as the two thieves, feeling guilty, were about to grab the package and make their escape, the door to the room was kicked open.

It was pitch black, and the person's face was completely obscured. The figure was hidden in the shadows, and the person didn't say a word. They didn't look like a good person.

They instinctively drew the short knives from their waists and aimed them at the person at the door.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Come any closer... and I'll kill you all!"
