Before my eyes, mountains rise from the ground in all directions, their cliff tops plunging into the vast sea of clouds. The wind howls past the undulating mountain range, and everything else seems insignificant and insignificant.
Yu Qianqian looked up at the towering cliffs on all sides that were right in front of her, feeling as if she were an extremely small ant, currently trapped in a deep pool and completely powerless.
"Xiangxing, why don't we..." Yu Qianqian turned around sadly and was stunned. All around her was empty, and the only sound was the slow, continuous howling of the wind.
She felt the malevolent energy surging like a raging fire across the sky, and an extreme sense of panic immediately arose in her heart. The increasingly intense aura of danger seemed poised to devour everything under heaven.
A moment later, a dark mass of shadows silently surged into her vision from all directions. Her thoughts raced, and she suppressed the urge to scream. Before long, the shadows rapidly approached and surrounded her.
It was only then that Yu Qianqian belatedly realized that those fierce-looking faces were all unfamiliar to her; she had never seen them in the palace before. Moreover, judging from their light and agile movements just now, these people were definitely not ordinary petty thieves.
At this moment, her intuition told her that if she chose to fight them head-on today, she would be no match for them at all.
Just as she thought of this, a group of burly middle-aged men, their eyes gleaming, rushed toward her like hungry wolves swooping for food.
"Hmm, just looking at this little wench's curvaceous figure is quite alluring. It must be really fun to play with her." One of the bandits stared at Yu Qianqian with his shiny, thieving eyes, grinning wickedly.
The other man glared at the other man, then shouted menacingly, "Stop talking nonsense, don't waste time, just get to it!"
Yu Qianqian stood still, watching the men who were only inches away from her. She calmly pulled off her veil, revealing a large, deep, red, swollen scar on her face. At this moment, she didn't need to make any extra expressions. Just one look from her was enough to make people tremble in their hearts!
The bandits immediately covered their mouths in terror and screamed, "My goodness! What kind of monster is this?!"
"Li Chunfeng told us yesterday that a great beauty would be delivered today, but instead he sent this ugly thing to fool us?"
"That Li Chunfeng is simply too much. I will never deal with such a treacherous person again."
"You ugly monster, get the hell away from me!"
In the blink of an eye, Yu Qianqian saw that some people were so disgusted by her that they were foaming at the mouth, and some even fainted from her ugliness. Her cunning eyes darted around quickly, and she secretly felt a sense of satisfaction.
Immediately afterward, amidst repeated threats from the thugs, she moved swiftly and silently away from the scene.
As she walked, she thought that if Li Chunfeng had arranged all of this, he would definitely come to investigate the scene afterward. If she left Wuji Palace at this time, she might be exposed on the way.
So she quickly stopped and turned around, then went back along the same path at the foot of the mountain. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, she hid in a secluded spot on the back of the mountain and quietly watched everything.
However, she didn't have to wait long. Just as the bandits were about to leave, Su Ruan and Li Chunfeng hurriedly caught up.
The prey has come to me without me even having to catch it; it's truly a stroke of luck!
Yu Qianqian, who was lying on the edge of the cliff with her head down, watched their figures getting closer and closer. She finally smiled with satisfaction, but the smile was unusually eerie.
