Zhu Yanniang was extremely displeased to see that the other party was avoiding her like the plague. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why did this little brat despise her so much?
Unable to figure it out, she quickly mounted her horse and chased after Wen Qiyu in the direction he had left.
Unfortunately, Wen Qiyu was too good at disguising himself. Even though they were walking on the same road, they just didn't run into him.
Until they entered Shiquan Town, outside the Miao villages in the southwest, Zhu Yanniang still hadn't managed to get a single thing.
She wanted to sneak into the Miao village to find someone, but it seemed something had happened in Xijiang, the main city of the Miao region; the city gates were tightly closed and visitors were being strictly checked. Even the villages near Xijiang were under heavy guard.
Zhu Yanniang had no choice but to settle down in Shiquan Town, outside of Miao territory.
She specifically chose a guesthouse with many people, intending to listen to their gossip and see if she could gain anything from it.
Although Shiquan Town is not part of the Miao region, there are still many Miao people here. They all wear a roll of white cloth tied around their heads and their clothes are brightly colored, making them easy to recognize.
But Zhu Yanniang soon discovered another problem: she didn't understand the Miao language, so even though these people were frowning and talking about something important, she couldn't guess anything.
So she heard a few words but got nothing out of it and could only go to sleep.
At night, as she rolled her eyes in exasperation, someone creaked open the door and appeared in front of Zhu Yanniang's bed.
"who?"
Zhu Yanniang reacted extremely quickly, flipping over and leaping up to press her sword against the other person's neck.
"I am Wen Qiyu!"
Wen Qiyu deflected the other person's sword, then quickly lit the lamp in the room with a tinderbox.
"Why are you here? And why did you get plastic surgery like this?"
Zhu Yanniang was confused for a moment, then frowned as she looked at him.
Isn't he almost like a beggar? His messy, disheveled hair, tattered clothes, dark face, and rough hands made him look like he'd been pulled out of a latrine.
Is this still the spoiled brat from the capital?
"This is for disguise, and also to get information. I heard that something big seems to have happened in Miao territory. Two months ago, the Miao chieftain was backfired by the Golden Toad Gu he had raised and is now in a coma. The Gu King and Gu King in the hands of the High Priest and the Miao Holy Maiden disappeared overnight. The people of Miao territory are now in a state of panic and are looking for the person who plotted against Miao territory."
Wen Qiyu didn't care about his attire at all. He had come today to find allies to enter Miao territory, so information was of utmost importance.
How did you know so much information?
Zhu Yanniang felt inexplicably resentful, thinking that she couldn't even understand the Miao language while this kid had obtained so much information.
"You'll learn by interacting with all sorts of people. This outfit I'm wearing is quite useful; I learned that in the capital."
Wen Qiyu casually pulled out a chair, sat down, and said smugly.
"Then why did you come to find me? Didn't you say you didn't want to be with me?"
Seeing the other person raise an eyebrow, Zhu Yanniang slowly sat down opposite Wen Qiyu and also raised an eyebrow.
"Your martial arts skills are not bad. We can join forces to sneak into the Miao village and scout out the situation. I don't care what you do, and you don't care what I do either, okay?"
Wen Qiyu asked Zhu Yanniang for her opinion with bright eyes.
"I heard that you once slept with a white snake and a green snake, and even gave each snake a kiss before falling asleep?"
Zhu Yanniang recalled the time when Cen Xi gossiped about the Wen family to her, laughing so hard she was doubled over, and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Yeah, what's so strange about that? I also have Little Yellow and Little Black. They sleep with me every night."
Wen Qiyu found it hard to understand why the woman opposite him looked constipated. Wasn't this something he did every day? What was so strange about it?
His little quirk is still better than this woman changing men several times a night, right?
"Then... then your purpose in going to Miao territory wasn't to find Shen Jinchen and Cen Xi?"
Hearing him say that, Zhu Yanniang got goosebumps all over her body, then swallowed hard and finally asked.
"Of course not. I've heard that there are many golden thread snakes in Miao territory. They are extremely venomous. I've never slept with one before, so I'd like to try it out."
Wen Qiyu smiled warmly and normally, as if his words and actions were perfectly normal, and that he could sleep with the golden snake whenever he wanted.
"The golden thread snake is extremely venomous. Wen Qiyu, aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?"
After wiping her face speechlessly, Zhu Yanniang asked again.
"You don't need to worry about that. When I was a child, I was bitten by a poisonous snake while playing outside. I happened to meet the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley. He gave me a pill and I became immune to all poisons. Don't you think I'm very lucky?"
Wen Qiyu gave Zhu Yanniang a look that said, "You're worrying about things that are completely unnecessary," and then boasted.
"No wonder you're so confident. Fine, I agree. Anyway, you saved my life, and I... need to repay someone else for saving my life, so I'm definitely going to Miao territory. When do you plan to go? And do you understand Miao language?"
After a moment of realization, Zhu Yanniang quickly made a decision. Wen Qiyu might look like a playboy, but he actually knows quite a lot. Perhaps they could be each other's help once he's inside.
"Alright! I've always preferred to travel alone, but Miao territory is too dangerous. For the sake of my small frame, I can only ask you, an acquaintance, to accompany me. Don't try to take advantage of me on the way, okay? If you want a man, I can help you find one, but please don't covet me."
Wen Qiyu sat cross-legged, his arrogant eyebrows bobbing up and down, and his words were quite impolite, perfectly embodying the air of a spoiled brat from the capital.
"Hmph! You little brat, your asshole isn't even fully grown yet. Keep your filthy thoughts to yourself. I don't even want you. Now that you've said what you needed to say, you'd better get out of my house!"
Zhu Yanniang was originally very grateful to him for saving her, but seeing how he disliked her, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. So, after settling the matter, she no longer wanted the little brat to stay in her room.
She's not indiscriminate in her choices, so why is this guy being so wary of her?
Besides, she had someone else in her heart, and she hadn't touched a man since then. How could she be slandered? That's why she was so angry.
"Okay, so you're not interested in me. Remember that, I'm not interested in men or women. We're just business partners. After we leave Miao territory, we'll just be acquaintances."
Wen Qiyu was very satisfied with Zhu Yanniang's attitude towards him, which meant he was safe. After all, he was good-looking, and he didn't want to make things difficult for this woman by sticking to him.
"roll!"
Zhu Yanniang raised her hand and pushed Wen Qiyu out the door, then angrily lay down on her bed.
Zhu Yanniang has both talent and beauty, is it necessary for her to be so blunt in her disdain? Yes! She's not clean, but she's never bothered anyone.
If you want to cooperate with her, you have to mock her and treat her like she's made of clay and easy to bully.
Wen Qiyu bumped her nose on the door panel, grinned, and chuckled before returning to her room.
