The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

Sikong Tingxue limped toward An Qingwan.

She quickly walked to An Qingwan's side.

This person is still as cold as ever, but now there is no breath or heartbeat.

She leaned down, wanting to bring her lips to his.

But then, a loud shout came from behind.

"Sikong Tingxue, what are you going to do to Miss An?"

That's Jin Xueyi's voice.

Sikong Tingxue's suppressed emotions suddenly erupted. She turned around and glared fiercely at Jin Xueyi and Lan Xiaogu.

"I want to bury her, I want to bury her somewhere no one can find her!"

"As for you, I will not let you go! You, and the people in the village where Lan Xiaogu lives, I will not let any of you go!"

Jin Xueyi was not frightened.

She pointed her sword at Sikong Tingxue: "Release Miss An! I will never hand her over to someone like you who has always wanted to kill her. I'm taking her back to Zhen'an County; that's her home!"

Sikong Tingxue's sneer grew even louder.

No one can take An Qingwan away.

An Qingwan belongs to her.

That was true in the past.

It is now.

It will be the same in the future.

Looking at Jin Xueyi's increasingly angry eyes, she felt an inexplicable urge to assert her dominance over everyone!

Sikong Tingxue turned around again and did something that surprised everyone.

She kissed him, directly onto An Qingwan's lips.

"you……"

Jin Xueyi was dumbfounded.

An Qingwan was also dumbfounded.

The next second, Sikong Tingxue was dumbfounded as she watched An Qingwan's eyes tremble and her hand rise.

"what!"

She screamed in fright and retreated backward, landing right behind Jin Xueyi. She grabbed Jin Xueyi's clothes like a frightened child.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

Sikong Tingxue has a secret: she's afraid of ghosts.

Ever since that fire when she was a child, she has been afraid of ghosts. Every night she dreams of ghosts, ghosts that are burning and howling.

An Qingwan stood up deliberately and said, "I'm a ghost."

"you you you……"

Sikong Tingxue's vision went black, and she fainted.

An Qingwan, Jin Xueyi, and Lan Xiaogu: "..."

P.S.: Thank you to 愁怅的天, 夜风翎羽, and 渡鸦_621 for the blades.

The mention of Brazil in the previous chapter might seem out of place at first glance, but there really was a Brazil Prefecture in Sichuan. It was named Brazil because it was west of Ba Prefecture. There was also a Badong Prefecture, and the three were collectively known as the Three Bas. Zhang Fei once served as the governor of Brazil. This book is an alternate history, but the maps used are still ancient maps, with only minor adjustments to map size for plot purposes. The dynastic background of this book is roughly a mixture of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the end of the Sui Dynasty, as can be seen from the dynasty names from Qi to Liang.

Lan Xiaogu's background was hinted at when the fake Huanxi Daoren pulled out the veiled arrow. It doesn't matter if you don't remember, An Qingwan will mention it in later chapters.

Miss Seventy, how do my lips taste? [3k]

puff.

The sound of Sikong Tingxue falling to the ground was particularly jarring in the thick darkness of the night.

She fainted!

This was something no one present had expected.

This change, this reversal, was even more astonishing than her sudden appearance at the door.

However, not many people are paying attention to why she fainted.

Because at that moment, something even more astonishing happened in the room—

An Qingwan, the An Qingwan who had been confirmed dead, was unexpectedly kissed back to her feet by Sikong Tingxue!

Jin Xueyi and Lan Xiaogu, who were just moments before angry, crying, and making a scene, were now standing there dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at An Qingwan, momentarily wondering if they were hallucinating.

Lan Xiaogu rubbed her eyes vigorously.

No matter how much she rubbed it, An Qingwan remained standing there, still not disappearing.

"Miss An, you...you...you're still alive?"

Jin Xueyi asked hesitantly.

An Qingwan smiled and said, "Of course I'm still alive, and I'm doing very well. I never died in the first place. The reason I..."

Before she could explain why, Lan Xiaogu had already jumped into her arms with a wail.

"An Qingwan, you're not dead! I'm so glad you're not dead! I'm so sorry, it's all my fault!"

Lan Xiaogu tightly hugged An Qingwan's waist, resting her head on her chest. When she looked up, her still-childish face was covered with tears.

This was the first time she had shown herself like this in front of outsiders.

In the past, no matter how urgent or dangerous the situation, no matter how panicked she was inside, she would always manage to put on a calm or indifferent expression.

In her view, that's what maturity is all about.

She was a child without parents, so she had to always remain mature, because only in this way would no one bully her.

But now she no longer cares about those pretenses.

She just wanted to vent her inner panic without restraint.

Even the most iron-willed person has moments of tenderness, let alone someone who has never been that strong.

An Qingwan couldn't see Lan Xiaogu's face.

But that trembling sound alone was enough for her to imagine what Lan Xiaogu looked like now.

She reached out, gently pressing the back of Lan Xiaogu's head with one hand and wiping away the tears on her face with the other.

"Alright, stop crying. You'll look awful if you cry your face. After all, it wasn't your fault. Who would have thought your second uncle would collude with Moyu Valley?"

Feeling the warmth emanating from An Qingwan's fingertips, Lan Xiaogu's sobs gradually subsided.

She asked, "Is it really that ugly?"

An Qingwan said, "I've always felt that smiling is more attractive than crying. As long as you can still smile, you should smile more."

Lan Xiaogu did not speak.

She tried her best to pull the corners of her mouth.

She thought that her smile must look terrible right now.

But she didn't care.

Her heart was truly smiling.

She smiled because An Qingwan was still alive, she smiled because An Qingwan hadn't distanced herself from her, and she smiled because of An Qingwan's warm embrace and hands.

This warmth was enough for her to temporarily forget many unpleasant things.

Jin Xueyi opened her mouth.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that An Qingwan and Lan Xiaogu, who were embracing each other, looked like a happy mother and daughter.

They were only a few years apart in age.

But that's how she felt.

Although her parents have passed away, they have at least been with her for many years, while Lan Xiaogu was abandoned by her mother when she was very young.

At this moment, Jin Xueyi swallowed all the words she wanted to say and suppressed the urge to throw herself into An Qingwan's arms.

She refused.

She was afraid that even the slightest movement she made would shatter the warmth that Lan Xiaogu had finally found.

The silence lasted for a while until Cui Sanbian accidentally made a noise.

An Qingwan released Lan Xiaogu and turned to face Cui Sanbian.

Cui Sanbian has gone completely mad.

An Qingwan's death, the re-exposure of her past, and everything else drove him insane.

But Sikong Tingxue's unexpected kiss changed far too much.

Not only did it awaken Lan Xiaogu from her extreme grief.

This also brought Cui Sanbian back to his senses from his madness.

From a certain perspective, Sikong Tingxue can also be considered a miraculous doctor with a silver tongue.

Now, Cui Sanbian has only one question.

How are you still alive?

He couldn't believe it.

He had already confirmed that An Qingwan had no breath, no pulse, and no signs of life; she was as cold as a block of ice.

This is the sign of death, but...

An Qingwan said, "Because I practiced several special martial arts, none of which could make me pretend to be dead so convincingly. But when I used those martial arts at the same time, even a divine doctor like you, Doctor Cui, couldn't see anything unusual!"

Cui Sanbian murmured, "Yes, I can't see anything unusual either, but you must have. Otherwise, why would you pretend to be dead to lure the people from Moyu Valley out?"

An Qingwan said, "The first time I noticed something unusual was because I discovered that Doctor Cui knows martial arts. Doctor Cui, you may not have used martial arts for decades, but it is very difficult to hide the traces of someone who has practiced martial arts. Even after decades, they will still be there."

Cui Sanbian said, "No wonder you asked me if I had ever practiced martial arts on the way here."

An Qingwan said, "Although I noticed something was wrong at that time, I didn't know what you were planning to do. It was Dr. Cui's conscience that made me truly see the problem."

Cui Sanbian retorted, "Conscience? Do an executioner like me still have a conscience?"

An Qingwan said, “Although I am blind, my hearing is better than most people in the world. When you went to prepare the ointment, I heard you sitting in the room for a quarter of an hour without doing anything. After a quarter of an hour, you started to prepare the medicine. You picked up a jar and tried to add the medicine from the jar to the ointment, but you still couldn’t add it to the ointment.”

Cui Sanbian said with a wry smile, "The medicine pot contains poison given to me by the people of Moyu Valley."

An Qingwan said, "Moyu Valley thought they had everything planned out, but they misjudged you the only one. They thought they could use what happened back then to blackmail you, but they forgot that since you would feel guilty for the misdiagnosis back then, you would definitely give up poisoning me because of your conscience."

Cui Sanbian remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, he suddenly bowed to An Qingwan.

“Heroine An, I am relieved to see you alive. I have not made any more grave mistakes. It is just a pity that my medical skills are not good enough. I really cannot heal your eyes. In the future, you may seek out Zen Master Huixin. His medical skills are a hundred times better than mine. If you cannot find him, you may go to Jinglun Heavenly Palace. Perhaps you can borrow the ‘True Scripture of Recorded Pictures’ to have a look.”

An Qingwan said, "I have remembered Dr. Cui's instructions, but..."

Cui Sanbian asked, "But what?"

An Qingwan asked, "Is Doctor Cui really determined to commit suicide?"

Cui Sanbian was slightly taken aback: "I didn't say I wanted to die."

An Qingwan said, "Dr. Cui has just given his last words."

Cui Sanbian sighed, "I can't hide it from you after all. I've been running away for too long, and I don't want to keep running away anymore. Only death can atone for my sins."

An Qingwan countered, "Can death atone for sins?"
