The morning star illuminates the day, and the sun rises as the stars fade.

The warm sun shines on my face, making me feel refreshed, and even the slight chill in the wind doesn't seem so cold anymore.

Despite a night of fleeing and fighting, Ah Fei showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, he was full of energy.

Although it cost more than a million taels of silver, Afei felt it was worth it.

Xingnu curled up in Afei's arms like a quiet cat.

The morning light shone on her face, making her appear serene and tranquil.

Afei's light footsteps glided across the snow, as if he were gliding, and he sped down the mountain.

Instead of choosing between the main road and the forest, he chose to leap down the steepest cliffs.

Using the aerial ability of "Seeking Fragrance Under the Moon", he completely disregarded the treacherous terrain.

Because the path was so dangerous, no one would have thought of such a way to descend the mountain.

It's almost no different from jumping off a cliff.

Therefore, no one in the Beggars' Sect could find Ah Fei's whereabouts.

At first, Xingnu stared wide-eyed, finding it hard to believe, thinking that Afei was forced to gamble with his life.

Her heart was pounding as she was about to land.

Then Xingnu felt his body suddenly plummet downwards, only to be lifted up and airborne again in an instant.

It felt like we were really flying.

Xingnu stared at Afei's handsome face with disbelief in her beautiful eyes.

She thought that after a night of life and death together, she understood the man she loved most.

But to her surprise, Ah Fei then brought her another surprise.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Afei, as if she wanted to etch his image into her heart.

Unlike Ah Fei, who could stay energetic after a night of sleep, she fell asleep without realizing it.

When she woke up again, Xingnu vaguely heard human voices.

Before us was a small inn beside the official road.

Looking further ahead, one can vaguely see a city through the branches of the trees along the roadside.

It lies on the horizon between heaven and earth, like a sleeping giant beast.

The city wall is bluish-gray, weathered by countless years of wind and rain.

Before Xingnu could recall which city this was, Afei had already entered the inn.

Although the inn was small, it was the closest shop to that majestic city, so merchants and martial arts practitioners still came and went in an endless stream.

As Ah Fei stepped into the inn, his strange appearance immediately drew everyone's attention.

A teenager, carrying a person whose face was obscured on his back, and holding a beautiful woman in his arms, all three were dressed in ill-fitting gray monk robes.

Anyone would be tempted to take a second look.

Noticing the gazes cast upon her from all around, Xingnu quickly jumped down from Afei's arms, not daring to look up at anyone.

The waiter was also taken aback when he saw the three of them.

But innkeepers are open for business, and there's no reason to turn away customers.

The waiter greeted them with a broad smile, saying:

"Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

It was nearly noon, and most of the merchants and travelers who stopped here would order a few dishes and drink a pot of wine before either heading into the city or setting off on their journeys.

Ah Fei tossed him a piece of silver and said:

"The best room, with meals delivered to your room."

The waiter took the silver, knowing this was a big customer, and his face beamed like a chrysanthemum. He bowed and said:

"Alright, sir, please come in."

Then he led Ah Fei up to the second floor.

Before entering the room, Afei took out another piece of silver, waved it in front of the waiter, and said:

Do you have any clean new clothes? I need three sets, nothing too conspicuous.

The waiter stared wide-eyed, his pupils following the swaying silver coins, nodding repeatedly as he said:

Yes, yes!

Judging by the amount of silver, there would be enough for at least thirty sets, let alone three.

Afei tossed the silver to him, then led Xingnu into the room, saying without turning his head:

"Hot water, a clean towel."

The waiter responded excitedly and turned to get ready.

Xingnu locked the door and turned to see Afei ignoring the shopkeeper's brand-new bedding and placing Lianxing on the bed.

The dirty monk's robe that wrapped Lianxing left a black stain directly on the bedding.

Xingnu stood by the door, listening intently to the sounds outside.

Having been a maid since she was old enough to understand things, she was used to doing this.

Before long, the quick-witted waiter had three bath tubs brought up, along with three sets of clean clothes.

As he left, he smiled obsequiously and said:

"Sir, your meal will be ready shortly. Please take a bath and change your clothes first."

Ah Fei said calmly:

"Okay, go ahead."

As he spoke, he tossed him another piece of silver.

After Xiao Er left, A Fei saw Xing Nu staring blankly at the bathtub.

The steam rising from the bucket quickly warmed the entire room and made the vision blurry.

Ah Fei smiled and said:

"Hurry up and wash up, then we'll eat. We still have a long way to go."

Xingnu felt her face getting hotter and hotter after hearing his words, not knowing if it was because the room was getting warmer.

Seeing her stammering, Ah Fei shook his head helplessly.

They've already seen everything, why are they still shy? Is it because the atmosphere wasn't right?

He said slowly:

"Hurry up, I don't have time to look at you right now. Your Second Master still needs me to serve him."

As he spoke, he lifted the monk's robe that was covering Lianxing.

Now that it's warm inside, I'm not worried about her catching a cold.

Although somewhat dirty, Lianxing's exquisite and graceful body remained soft and alluring.

When she has her eyes closed, she is not at all as proud and lively as when she is awake.

Lianxing frowned, her delicate eyebrows and nose furrowed, her pretty face full of pitiful fragility.

The unique charm of such a pure young girl is so moving that it is difficult to describe.

The several horrific wounds on her body had mostly healed thanks to A-Fei's tireless treatment throughout the night.

However, external injuries are easier to treat than internal injuries, so she still hasn't woken up.

Xingnu felt a sudden pang of disappointment upon hearing Afei's words.

Although I know that what Afei said is right, why can't she serve the Second Palace Master and then Afei serve her?

Remembering the warmth of A-Fei's hand, Xingnu couldn't help but squeeze her long legs together.

But Xingnu only thought about it; how could a virgin like her dare to ask such a question?

Ah Fei tested the water temperature, and it was just right for a bath.

So he turned around, gently picked up Lianxing, and slowly placed her into the wooden tub.

The waiter was indeed clever; he put flower petals in all three wooden buckets. I wonder where they came from for this season.

When Lianxing was settled, Xingnu came over with a towel to wipe her body.

Afei was a little surprised that Xingnu didn't listen to him this time.

He smiled and said:

"I can manage, you go and wash yourself."

Of course, Afei's purpose was simply to clean Lianxing; he had no other intentions.

Absolutely not.

Xingnu lowered her head, not daring to look at Afei, afraid that he would see her burning face.

As she wiped Lianxing's face, she whispered:

"It's alright. I've always served the Second Palace Master since I was little. I'll be quick."

Then, in an almost inaudible voice, he said:

"I want...to be with you..."

The sound was already soft, but towards the end it was practically like a mosquito humming.

Before she could finish speaking, Xingnu had already pursed her lips tightly.
