Hmm, it looks a bit like the dresses little girls on Earth wear…
Well, for now, we'll just have to make do and see what happens once we get out of this forest.
"By the way, little zombie, can you sense the direction of zero?"
Sitting on Shi Wuxie's shoulder, Chunhu Siqiong asked somewhat listlessly, "We should be in the same place as Ling, but we don't know exactly where she is. Is she alright?"
"The master is still alive."
A red light flashed in Shi Wuxie's eyes, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "However, we can't contact him. It seems to be blocked by something."
"Phew, at least everyone's alright."
Hearing this, Chunhu Siqiong breathed a sigh of relief, and then said thoughtfully, "In that case, let's get out of this forest first. If you can sense it, it means we won't be too far away, and we'll eventually run into each other."
"kindness."
Shi Wuxie nodded slightly and said no more.
Outside the capital, in a male prison.
After the prisoners finished their work, everyone returned to their cells, except for one fat man with alluring eyes who didn't go back but instead walked towards the jailer, Huang.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Looking at the man's alluring appearance, the jailer Huang laughed and slapped him on the buttocks.
"Oh dear, you're so naughty!"
The man feigned surprise and gave a charmingly angry look before saying, "I've come to see you, sir, on important business."
"Well, what important business could you possibly have to discuss?"
Upon hearing this, the jailer Huang looked unconvinced, but with such a beautiful woman before him, pleasing to the eye, he listened patiently nonetheless.
"It's that young master who suddenly appeared today. He's not an ordinary person; he's quite wealthy."
The man stepped forward and whispered, "I saw with my own eyes that he was carrying a huge jade pendant, and it was filled with all kinds of food. I think there must be a lot of good stuff inside."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, the jailer Huang rolled his eyes, but remained calm and composed.
"That's right. That ugly girl Fan Qiyue refuses to hand over that young master. I'm afraid I've been eyeing his things for a long time."
The man said with a resentful look, "Think about it. If you had personally taken the young master to the orphanage that day, wouldn't the jade pendant have been yours? I used to be a prostitute and have seen many high-ranking officials and nobles. I know what I'm talking about. That would definitely be a treasure."
"Really? This Fan Qiyue is quite bold."
Upon hearing this, Jailer Huang narrowed his eyes slightly, but said with a troubled expression, "Xiao Li, although that jade pendant is a good thing, and I know you like it, it would be really inappropriate for me to take it openly, and I would be punished by the jailer."
"So, what does Your Excellency mean?"
Xiao Li was stunned when he heard this. He had originally planned to use the jailer to teach Li Guihua a lesson.
He and Li Guihua were both highly regarded prison leaders, but they were on different sides. However, Li Guihua, being tall and strong, always managed to outdo him, which made him very unhappy.
Fan Qiyue is Li Guihua's person. If Fan Qiyue's mistakes are pointed out, Li Guihua will also be implicated.
This is the main reason why he identified Fan Qiyue. Fan Qiyue is an orphan with no parents, and she is the easiest to manipulate.
"What I mean is, you go and get it."
The jailer Huang grabbed Xiaoli's hand and said with a smile, "Tomorrow I will find an excuse to prevent anyone from sending that child away, and that will be your chance."
