She held back from speaking and asked Qin Susu:

"Miss Qin, aren't you with the master?" As far as Zhu Juan knew, Qin Susu loved to cling to the master.

"Of course we should be together..." Qin Susu glanced behind her.

"Where did Xiaoyan go?" She...she didn't know either.

"You wait here!" She lifted the curtain and stepped out of the yurt, with Apu following behind.

Behind her, Zhu Juan relaxed and sat down on the ground again.

Her weakened body made her breathless after every word she spoke; she was truly starving.

Outside the yurt, the soldier remained frozen in place.

"Let me go!" Seeing Qin Susu emerge, his face contorted with anger, still resentful that he had been unable to move.

He was waiting, waiting for his people to arrive as soon as possible to rescue him.

However, their men won't appear until the hunt is over.

His companions were all very interested in this human hunter, but he was pitiful and had to stay here alone.

"Release you so you can deliver the message? Do you think I'm a fool?" Qin Susu walked towards the soldier, glanced at him, and touched his waist.

The soldier's body stiffened slightly, but he no longer had the same expression as before.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Didn't I tell you, woman!"

"Woman, can you tell me where you learned all these sorcery techniques?"

"Wrong, I call this magic." Although Qin Susu was anxious, she couldn't change her talkative nature.

Her words suddenly reminded the soldier of the Central Plains illustrated books he had read.

Fox spirits like to absorb the yang energy of men in order to prolong their lives and maintain their youth.

Qin Susu was indeed beautiful.

She had red lips and white teeth, rosy cheeks, and a curvaceous figure.

No matter how you look at it, it's completely in line with the fox spirit beauties in his sketchbooks.

He was especially terrified on this eerie night.

"Help! I've been assaulted! Help!"

"Indecent assault? You think you're worthy?" Qin Susu was so angry she almost laughed. Although she was often teased as a stupid woman, she still had high standards.

"Fox spirit, fox spirit, spare me..."

Qin Susu: "Fox spirit? Haha, yes, I am a fox spirit."

That Prefect Xie also called her a witch. What did she say back then? Oh right, she said she was a little fairy.

She suddenly remembered the words Qiu Yan had said to deceive Huyan Xun, and the wicked smile she had given him.

"Offending this fox spirit will result in death from exhaustion."

Although she didn't quite understand what the phrase "dying from exhaustion" meant, she knew it would keep men in check.

Sure enough, the soldier's face twitched upon hearing this.

"Fox spirit, spare me! Fox spirit, spare me!"

"Look at you, you pathetic sight."

Qin Susu rubbed her hands together for a moment, but found them empty. "Where's the key?"

"What key?"

"Of course, it's the key to unlocking women's shackles."

"I'm just a lowly guard, how did I end up with this key?"

"Hmph, you won't talk, huh?"

Qin Susu pulled out a dagger from her waist and brandished it at the soldier's face.

"If you don't talk, I'll kill you!"

"I really don't know where the key is. Perhaps it's inside the Chanyu's main tent."

Qin Susu's face was ashen.

Judging from the soldier's timidity, he probably really didn't know.

"Is your Chanyu inside the tent?"

She always believed that Huyan Xun had gone to train the soldiers; otherwise, why was the area so deserted?

If Huyan Xun were not in the tent, it would be the perfect time to strike.

Sure enough, the soldier said:

"No, the Chanyu is busy at the hunting grounds."
