I only scolded him a few times, and he actually…

That's really too much.

Seeing Leng Qingning cry, the man showed no remorse whatsoever, instead looking at her with a mocking expression.

That expression seemed to say: Go ahead and curse, why aren't you cursing anymore? You thought you were so capable?

When Leng Qingning saw him looking at her with that expression, she immediately stopped crying.

We can't let him get away with it and then act innocent.

He mumbled out a sentence: "Wolfront, what's that?"

The man chuckled, "Don't worry, they're not dead."

"Did you fool him?"

“I left them there. I don’t have time for them, I only care about you.” After saying that, the man stared meaningfully into Leng Qingning’s eyes.

Leng Qingning looked away and continued to ask him, "So where are we now?"

"In one more day, I will reach my tribe."

Leng Qingning asked him one last question: "What do you want to do with me?"

The man hesitated for a few seconds, looked at her swollen lips, and softened his voice, saying, "As long as you behave, I will treat you well."

Wotech?

Leng Qingning rolled her eyes inwardly several times.

Who needs you to be nice to me?

That's utterly absurd. I have a whole bunch of husbands, so why would it be your turn?

The two stopped talking.

After calming down and analyzing the current situation, Leng Qingning realized that he was unlikely to harm himself for the time being.

As for his reasons for kidnapping her, Leng Qingning did not believe them.

If it's really as he says, that he kidnapped foreign women to take back to his homeland only to reproduce, then why did he only kidnap himself? Biluo Baiyu is also a woman.

He also revealed his origin. What kidnapper would reveal where someone is from when they are being kidnapped?

Moreover, the fact that they called her "Your Highness" when they kidnapped her shows that it was premeditated and that they deliberately kidnapped the princess.

Kidnap the princess?

Leng Qingning thought of what he said about the hardships of life in the Sancho tribe, and could almost conclude that they kidnapped her to blackmail Dayue for supplies.

Besides that, I can't think of any other reason for the time being.

well!

Leng Qingning closed her eyes. It seemed she would have to carry some antidote powder with her from now on.

One day later, the Sancho tribe.

The man carried Leng Qingning down from the carriage and helped her slowly walk into the tribe.

Leng Qingning carefully memorized the route for her next escape.

They walked for more than an hour, traversing most of the tribal residential area, and finally arrived at the innermost part of the tribe.

In front of a small courtyard.

The man deliberately misled Leng Qingning, leading her through a maze of twists and turns until they reached the innermost part of the room.

However, Leng Qingning took notes of the route as she walked, and some familiar places were clearly places she had visited more than twice.

It's easy to see that this is a depression surrounded by mountains on three sides, and they are currently at the innermost part of the depression. Beyond that are the dwellings of the tribe and the guards. The tribe's exit is the entrance to the depression.

Behind the depression lies a towering mountain, which is Mount Sang.

Leng Qingning's expression was somewhat solemn. If they were to escape, they certainly couldn't run towards the tribe's entrance. To get there, they would have to pass through the residential area, which was teeming with Sancho tribe members, with guards on patrol at every level.

I'm afraid... the only way to escape is through the back of the mountain.

However, Kong Xuanzi said that there are many huge beasts on Mount Sang, as well as many small wild animals that are also very fierce.

If you don't have the hunting experience of the Sancho tribe, you'll easily be torn to pieces if you enter rashly.

Moreover, the foot of the mountain is quite far from where she is now, and she can see a few scattered guards moving around.

Tricky!

Just as Leng Qingning was frantically trying to figure out what to do, an old woman came out of the main room.

"Sang Ci, you're back so soon? How much grain did you exchange this time?"

Attracted by the sound, Leng Qingning looked towards the old woman.

"Grandma, the harvest wasn't very good this time." The man jogged over to help the old woman.

Leng Qingning noticed that the old woman was walking with a limp, probably from an injury she sustained while hunting.

The old woman patted Sang Ci's hand, her eyes somewhat cloudy, and said to him with a smile, "It's alright, let's hunt some good goods in two months and then go exchange them."

Sang Ci replied, "I understand, Grandma. Let me help you inside to sit down."

"good."

Leng Qingning stepped across the threshold and slowly followed the two into the main room.

After the old woman sat down, she asked Sang Ci who this beautiful woman was. She had just seen Leng Qingning, but she was far away and her eyesight was not good, so she couldn't see her clearly.

“Grandma, she’s a friend of mys, she’s visiting us,” Sang Ci explained.

Leng Qingning spat inwardly, turned her face away, and was too lazy to expose him. She wanted to see what this scoundrel was up to.

Seeing that Leng Qingning ignored her, the old woman stopped talking and didn't ask her any more questions. Instead, she started talking about other things with Sang Ci.

The two chatted for a while, with Leng Qingning listening silently from the side, which allowed her to glean some other information.

From their conversation, we can tell that the Sancho people have been suffering from food and clothing shortages lately, and they have also been hunting far fewer prey. Large beasts are rarely seen in the mountains. They say that this is because the beast god is angry and has taken back the best prey.

Leng Qingning wanted to laugh; it seemed the people of this tribe were very superstitious.

Whether the Beast God exists or not is another matter, but the animals on this mountain have been hunted and eaten by them for thousands of years. How many of them can survive after thousands of years?

Leng Qingning glared at Sang Ci a few times, finding him increasingly displeasing.

Then I heard them say that it hadn't rained here for a long time, and this year's harvest was very poor. The people were barely surviving by cutting back on food and clothing.

Speaking of Leng Qingning, she felt some sympathy for them. Natural disasters are a severe test for people everywhere.

When she becomes the ruler of the country, she will make sure that every citizen of Dayue has enough to eat.

Finally, the two also mentioned Sang Ci's younger brother, who seemed to have a hidden illness.

Just as Leng Qingning was getting curious, Sang Ci abruptly ended the conversation, took Leng Qingning to another room, told her to rest on the wooden bed, and went out to cook.

After Sang Ci left, Leng Qingning felt a little uneasy. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she felt that this place was a bit eerie.

I fell asleep with a feeling of unease.

That evening, Sang Ci opened the door and brought in the food.

Leng Qingning was woken up, sat up, yawned, and stared blankly at the food on the table.

There are two plates of meat?

Didn't they say the conditions were very difficult?

Leng Qingning's brow twitched. Could this be her last meal before execution?

Seeing that she was sitting still, Sang Ci snorted coldly.

ungrateful!

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. We still need to keep you to have babies," Sang Ci said bluntly.

"Tch." Leng Qingning scoffed lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up her chopsticks and started eating in small bites.

She's been drugged and can barely walk, let alone use her magic. Killing her would be easy; there's no need to waste food.

Besides, even if I'm going to die, I don't want to be a starving ghost.

Sang Ci smiled with satisfaction and walked out.

As Leng Qingning was eating, a head peeked out from the doorway, its blue pupil particularly striking, facing directly in her direction.
