"Ten cigarettes for you."
Chu Yao turned and left.
"Hey hey hey, that counts as eight for you."
"It's no use for you to take this thing!"
…
After some bargaining, Chu Yao reluctantly took out five cigarettes from his clothes and handed them to Old Man Mo.
She still had five cigarettes left in her pocket. She'd bought them with the Yuanmu Stones she'd dug from the mines and some skinny monkeys. After handing in her daily allotment, she traded the remaining Yuanmu Stones for cigarettes.
How come I'm going backwards the more I live? She couldn't help but think of the time when she was refining Qi and counting the spirit stones to get by. The past was too painful to recall!
Those who pinch cats, it’s all these gods’ fault!
"Uncle, do you have a map?"
"Map, do you want the map of Lingyuan Star?"
"right."
"Not yet, but since you want it, come back in three or five days and I'll give you two cigarettes."
"Okay, thank you very much."
"Yeah." Old Man Mo turned his back, waved his hand, and was about to see the guest off when his voice suddenly lowered:
"Since you're taking care of my business, let me remind you. There are people outside, so be careful."
oh?
"Thank you." Chu Yao bowed habitually and walked out of the hut.
——
As they left the house, the night had clearly grown darker. Chu Yao, carrying the spirit stones in her pocket, appeared leisurely, but she was secretly and cautiously quickening her pace.
Although her spiritual sense was disabled, her awareness of danger remained. As she emerged, she spotted someone hiding in the shadows outside the house. She quickly tiptoed a few steps. Moments later, three tall, thin figures emerged from the shadows.
These three people did not hide their purpose at all. They followed behind us at a distance and could not be shaken off.
Chu Yao was very self-aware. With her current strength, she could handle one but it would be very difficult to fight three. So she could only run away. There was no other way.
There was still about an hour left before curfew, and there were very few people outside. Occasionally, you could see a few exhausted miners sitting on the side of the road, staring blankly.
It’s not that no one noticed Chu Yao’s predicament, but no one cared.
In the Beishan Mine, similar scenes are played out every day. As long as there are no heavenly guards present, these people can do anything.
After all, apart from those who became slaves accidentally, most of them were once extremely vicious criminals.
Stealing and robbery are minor offenses, and beating or even maiming someone is not uncommon. As long as they are not discovered, even the guards will be able to let it go.
I can't go back, I'll be blocked at the door; I can't go to my senior sister either, her maze array isn't that wide; so...
Chu Yao went around in circles, and already had a plan in mind.
She suddenly accelerated and headed straight for the guard tower in the east.
Seeing this, the three people behind no longer cared and ran after him.
Chu Yao was in no hurry, remaining composed. Not to mention that they wouldn't be able to catch up to him anytime soon, even if they couldn't run any more, he still had a Spirit Stone in his arms. Spiritual power was something you could always get if you squeezed it.
But she didn't run for long before she frowned because the situation had changed:
Two figures suddenly emerged from the dark alley ahead, standing in the middle and blocking the way!
Haha, I accidentally fell into the trap of these scoundrels.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Chu Yao simply stopped running. He stood still with his arms around his chest, wanting to see what kind of people were stopping him.
"Five grown men are bullying a weak woman like me. Do you still have any shame?" There was no fear on her face.
"Fairy Chu, you have great legs. If I hadn't arranged it in advance, you would have escaped today." A frivolous male voice came from the front, and Chu Yao felt that it sounded a little familiar.
Of course, it’s just “a little bit”.
"Do you recognize me?" She looked at the person who spoke.
The man had delicate features and a good temperament, and a typical pretty face that glowed in the dark.
While answering Chu Yao's words, he walked slowly towards her with a calm expression:
"Of course. The peerless twin flowers of the Tianyin Sect, the awe-inspiring Nascent Soul Elder, the ghost fairy who dominates the Northern Territory, who wouldn't recognize you?"
"Stop talking nonsense. What do you want to do?" Chu Yao frowned and looked at the person who came. She really couldn't remember who this person was. She just felt that he looked familiar. Maybe she had met him before.
"Nothing, I just want to invite Fairy Chu to my humble abode for a chat. If we get emotional, we can spend the night together."
The men who gathered around laughed obscenely, with greed in their eyes.
I thought it was a robbery, but it turned out to be a rape?
However, after hearing these two sentences, coupled with that familiar white face, Chu Yao really thought of someone.
This man's name was Du Jun, and he was a well-known figure in the Northern Territory, but it was not a good name. This was because he was greedy for women and relied on his high level of cultivation to do many things that bullied men and women. Everyone in the Northern Territory wanted to kill him.
It's no wonder Chu Yao couldn't remember him. Although Du Jun's cultivation was high, he was only at the Golden Core stage. To her, these things were just trivial matters among the younger generation, so she naturally didn't pay much attention to them.
It's quite a coincidence that we meet in this small mine in a foreign country.
"Are you, Du Jun?"
"Oh, the fairy actually recognized me. I am flattered." Du Jun actually took out a fan from somewhere and fanned himself leisurely.
"That's even better. It means we are destined to be together."
"I don't know if it's fate, but you must be sick." Chu Yao has never lost in words.
“Outside the mountain gate of Tianyin Sect, I once had the honor of meeting the fairy. I was stunned by her beauty at that time.
