"bite!"
"Host, I've detected a side quest. Would you like to accept it?"
Although Lin Xue's family now lives in the upper-middle class in Haishi, this is also because she hasn't worked hard enough.
I only spend about an hour each day drawing blueprints; most of the time I'm researching the history of this era.
"There's a side quest! Tell me about it quickly. As long as I can do it, there's no reason for me to give up on the mission!"
Upon hearing that there was work to be done, Lin Xue immediately perked up.
"There's a man named Xie Huai'an who's on a mission in our city, but he seems to have revealed his whereabouts. Now, the Japanese devils are searching for him in the North Street area!"
"This mission requires the host to find a way to rescue Xie Huai'an and safely send him out of Haishi!"
"Host, if you want to accept this side quest, you'd better hurry up, otherwise Xie Huai'an will fall into the hands of the Japanese!"
The strength of the Sun Country is much weaker than that of other powers, but when it comes to the people of the Dragon Country, the people of the Sun Country are not polite at all. They will beat or scold them, and kill them without hesitation!
Lin Xue had encountered people from the Sun Kingdom in her previous world, specifically in the world of the Scholar's Wife.
She certainly used lightning to strike those Japanese devils quite a few times.
Since this world restricts her from using lightning magic, Lin Xue could easily kill most people even with ordinary martial arts skills.
After accepting the task, Lin Xue immediately changed her clothes, dressing herself up as an ordinary person, the kind who wouldn't attract attention in a crowd.
After finishing her makeup, Lin Xue hurriedly left the house.
Once outside the villa area, I hailed a rickshaw.
"Go to North Street!"
After telling the rickshaw driver, Lin Xue leisurely sat in the rickshaw and was driven all the way to North Street.
After paying the fare, she quickly headed towards Xie Huaiyuan's location, guided by 629.
"Baka! You guys go search over there, the rest of you spread out and search. We absolutely can't let that person get away!"
Lin Xue hadn't taken two steps when she saw a group of people in yellow clothes ahead, speaking in an awkward Chinese accent, searching for someone.
She walked past them with a normal expression, then quietly entered an alley and stopped at the corner ahead.
"The second courtyard on the right, climb over the wall and leave through the back door."
After saying this, Lin Xue turned and walked out, intending to distract the group of people outside.
He took a man's garment from his bag, draped it over his shoulders, and ran in one of the directions.
Xie Huaiyuan clearly heard footsteps approaching, but the footsteps stopped a few steps away from him, and then a woman's voice came through.
He was certain the woman was talking to him. Xie Huaiyuan didn't remember having such a woman in his team, but if she were on the enemy's side, she would have betrayed his location long ago.
With a skeptical attitude, Xie Huaiyuan followed the woman's instructions and climbed over the wall of the second house on the right.
It wasn't until he climbed over the wall that Xie Huaiyuan realized it was an empty house. The people inside had moved out long ago, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
The main door was locked, as were the doors to the other rooms. However, the window of the main room was broken, and Xie Huaiyuan easily jumped in through it.
Once inside, he discovered that the house did indeed have a back door. Fortunately, the door opened from the inside, and Xie Huaiyuan quickly opened the door and went out.
Leaving here, we turned into another street, which allowed us to temporarily avoid the pursuing troops from the Sun Kingdom.
He quickly flagged down a rickshaw and headed towards the outskirts of the city.
However, they hadn't gone far when they saw a group of people wearing yellow clothes ahead. Xie Huaiyuan originally wanted to continue leaving in the rickshaw, but he saw that a checkpoint had been set up at the intersection ahead, and people were being searched one by one.
Not only pedestrians, but also people in rickshaws and cars were searched by this group before being allowed to pass.
Xie Huaiyuan dared not gamble with his life, so he quickly told the driver to stop by the roadside. After paying the fare, he went into a clothing store.
"Oh dear, why did it take you so long to get here?"
As soon as he entered, he saw an ordinary-looking woman walk towards him, then grab his arm and pull him to the counter.
"Boss, do you have a place to change into the outfit I just picked out?"
Lin Xue chatted with the boss naturally, while Xie Huaiyuan, whose arm she was holding, looked completely bewildered.
Isn't that the woman's voice? It's the same woman who just told him to leave.
He had imagined many different versions of this woman's appearance, but he had just seen her when he came in, and now he had completely forgotten what she looked like.
Xie Huaiyuan didn't remember Lin Xue's appearance, so he turned his head to look at her again.
That nose, that mouth, those eyes.
This is too ordinary; it has absolutely no unique features.
How could someone like that possibly remember what the other person looks like?
Sure enough, as soon as Xie Huaiyuan looked away, Lin Xue's appearance disappeared from his mind again, and he had to turn back to Lin Xue to carefully discern her features.
"We've been married for so long, how come you still haven't had enough of looking at me?"
"You promised to go shopping with me today, but you kept complaining of being tired and wanted to find a place to sit down. I just don't understand. It's just shopping, and I don't even feel tired. How could a grown man like you get so tired?"
As Lin Xue took the clothes from the shopkeeper, she grumbled and complained about the man next to her.
【marriage?】
The word "marriage" flashed through Xie Huaiyuan's mind, but fortunately, he wasn't stupid and immediately understood Lin Xue's meaning.
"Honey, we've been shopping for hours, I just want to rest for a bit, why aren't you happy about it?"
Having understood Lin Xue's intentions, Xie Huaiyuan could clearly sense the goodwill emanating from the woman, even though he didn't know her.
This person is either someone from their own organization or someone who is inclined to support their own organization; they are definitely not a spy sent by the enemy.
But when did such a talent emerge from their area? With her looks, no one would notice her if she were thrown on the street.
Even if you saw it, no one could remember that face that you'd forget in the blink of an eye.
Even during the check, the group of people in yellow probably wouldn't be able to find the woman and would just ignore her.
"There's a changing room in the back, why don't you take your husband there to change?"
"Young man, you're so lucky to have married such a wonderful wife. How can you, a young and strong man, complain about being tired just from shopping with your wife?"
After receiving the money, the shop owner happily pointed out the location of the changing room to Lin Xue and the others, and couldn't help but say a few words of comfort to Xie Huaiyuan on behalf of Lin Xue.
