"You reap what you sow."
"...Thank you, this servant will continue to work hard." Mu Run gritted her teeth as she took the silver note, a fifty-tael note, "Too much."
"The other twenty taels are a reward for you."
"Then I shall accept it without hesitation." Mu Run put away the silver note.
Mu Run went to the kitchen and made a pot of noodle soup. There was no meat or fish in it, only some dried vegetables, and the taste was very light.
She ate a small bowl herself, while Fu Yunchen and Qiao Dongzi shared the rest.
After finishing their meal, Qiao Dongzi and Fu Yunchen decided to go their separate ways.
Qiao Dongzi was going to Yunlong Mountain to join the imperial army that was tasked with suppressing witches.
Fu Yunchen, on the other hand, was to continue eastward to the lair of the Black Witches and deal with the Black Witches who were causing havoc there.
Mu Run, on the other hand, has the choice to follow Qiao Dongzi or Fu Yunchen.
It will be safe if you follow Qiao Dongzi.
Following Fu Yunchen is like entering a den of ghosts, a perilous journey at every turn.
Mu Run looked at the two of them, and finally stood next to Fu Yunchen with great reluctance. "Third brother, I really want to go with you, but keeping an eye on eldest brother is my mission. It's an order from the Imperial Bureau, and I have no choice but to obey."
Hearing her words, the two of them were both at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"You're amazing!" Qiao Dongzi gave Mu Run a thumbs up. She clearly stated her identity and purpose, and yet no one could do anything to her. She was probably the only one in Huang Cheng Si who could do that.
Fu Yunchen said, "Just don't regret it."
Mu Run blinked her charming and exquisite peach blossom eyes, "I'm starting to regret it now, can I take it back?"
"Too late!"
Fu Yunchen grabbed her small hand and headed towards the Wu Clan's stronghold.
Qiao Dongzi stood with his sword in his hand, arms crossed, watching their figures with a gratified smile on his face.
As long as it makes the boss happy, it doesn't matter who she comes from.
...
Mu Run followed Fu Yunchen across the Gobi Desert and arrived at a lake oasis.
In the distance, Mu Run could see tents of all sizes and houses built of stone, as well as herds of horses and sheep, and ragged people wandering around like zombies.
"What happened to those people?" Mu Run asked Fu Yunchen.
"In order to deal with the army of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the Black Witch captured a lot of people. These included civilians of the Northern Jin Dynasty, people from tribes who were attached to the Northern Jin Dynasty, and people from some small countries. The Black Witch used witchcraft to brainwash them, control them with witchcraft drugs, or kidnap their family members to coerce them into going to the battlefield or becoming slaves or ghost soldiers."
Although Mu Run lacked heroic justice, hearing about such heinous acts still ignited his anger. "What do we do next? Just charge in and kill them?"
Fu Yunchen flicked her delicate nose lightly with his finger, meeting her angry gaze. "Don't you like pretending?"
“You’re the one who likes to pretend,” Mu Run retorted. “You wear a fake face every day, flaunting and deceiving the world.”
"Compared to you, I'm far inferior," Fu Yunchen said meaningfully.
However, Mu Run didn't notice, observing the lifeless figures. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pointed behind a large rock not far away, "Look, look! There are two people there!"
Before she could finish speaking, she turned her face away and covered Fu Yunchen's eyes.
"Don't look, you'll get a sty."
Fu Yunchen, however, saw through her fingers to understand what was happening there.
It was a man and a woman, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, engaging in pleasurable acts.
"Never seen it before?"
