Chapter 6 She Wants to See Abs
After Wen Wan finished washing up, she lingered behind the screen for a long time before mustering up the courage to come out.
She has made preparations. If it really doesn't work, she will just admit defeat. Compared with suffering losses, admitting defeat is of course more cost-effective.
However, Achai didn't even give her the chance to admit defeat.
Because, he fell asleep.
There was fatigue and vigilance between the young man's brows, and he still held the jewel-studded dagger in his hand.
It seems that as long as there is any disturbance, he can fight the enemy with his body's instinctive reaction.
This kind of person is terrible at any time and in any place.
Wen Wan withdrew her gaze, not daring to provoke him, and turned to walk towards the soft couch by the window.
She sat on the couch and took out the jade pendant from her arms.
This was something Achai picked up in the cemetery and threw to her as a reward. The situation was urgent at the time, so she only took a quick look at it.
Now she had the chance to observe it carefully in the candlelight.
The more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, and her fingertips kept rubbing the jade pendant.
"I was right, it really is a chimeric jade!"
Chimeric jade is not a type of jade, but a craft of making jade pendants.
After using special tools to open the outer jade layer, you can get the real thing inside.
The things inside the jade mosaic must be extraordinary.
Unfortunately, if you try to open it by brute force without the right tools, the contents will be destroyed.
She suppressed her curiosity to know what was inside and reluctantly put the jade pendant back into her arms.
I have to wait until I find the tools in the city before I can open this treasure.

When the sky was just getting light, the first person to wake up was A Chai who was lying in bed.
He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up with all his strength, only to realize that he had slept for the entire night.
He remembered that he was listening to the sound of water coming from behind the screen. He wanted to wait for the girl to come out and then scare her, but he didn't expect that he fell asleep without realizing it.
For him, sleeping soundly in front of a stranger is a very dangerous thing.
Thinking of this, Achai got up and walked to the window.
The woman on the couch was sleeping in an untidy manner, and the small blanket had been kicked to the ground by her.
One of her feet was arrogantly placed on the windowsill next to her. Her white and tender feet were set against the morning light, and they looked even softer than the piece of mutton-fat jade handed down from generation to generation in his family.
Achai's light gray pupils sank and he bent down to pick up the small blanket on the ground.
He wanted to throw the blanket over to cover her feet, but after a moment's hesitation, he changed his mind.
Wen Wan was half asleep when she felt something hit her face. She opened her eyes and saw a pitch-black world.
She pulled the blanket off her face and looked angrily at the culprit.
"Why did you throw the blanket at me? You wanted to suffocate me, didn't you?"
"Heh," Achai glanced at her with a half-smile, and his words were extremely harsh.
"Rude, vulgar, and even the wicked are the first to complain. Covering up your ugly face is indeed the right choice."
Wen Wan: “…”
What did she do to offend him, as a young lady, to make him have such a deep prejudice against her?
The bad guy complained first, and she admitted it.
But rude and vulgar? She would never admit it!
In the three years since she traveled through time, everyone who saw her would praise her for being well-behaved, intelligent, sensible, and beautiful.
Achai didn't say anything and just grabbed the collar behind her neck and pulled her up.
"We have to rush to the border town today and don't have time to waste with you."
Wen Wan was carried away and put up a meaningless resistance with her teeth and claws bared.
"Put me down! I didn't say I wanted to go to the border town with you!"
"I was a hostage of bandits. Now the bandits are gone. I am a good citizen. You cannot restrict my freedom!"
“I have human rights…”
Achai glanced over with a cold gaze, and the dagger in his other hand was already half pulled out.
Wen Wan's scalp tingled and she swallowed back the words she hadn't finished.
Only after he put the dagger back to its place did she speak timidly again.
"Brother, aren't you the commanders of the border town? You are heroes defending your country. It's totally unreasonable for you to arrest a young woman like me for no reason."
Ah Chai paused and said in a deep voice, "You are no longer an ordinary young lady. We suspect you are... a spy for the Mobei people."
Wen Wan's eyes widened. "This is a false accusation! This is a false accusation!"
Ah Chai chuckled, "You're right, it's just a false accusation. But here, I have the final say."
At this moment, Wen Wan felt so regretful that her intestines turned green.
She must have been blind yesterday to have thought that Chai was her type.
He only has an impressive appearance, but is a piece of shoddy stuff inside. He is not even worthy of carrying her shoes!
Wen Wan was indignant and secretly harbored hatred in her heart.
Ah Chai saw her cheeks puffed up with anger, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

In the yard, the soldiers who had rested for a night were already waiting in the open space.
A Chai pushed Wen Wan towards Jinmu and said, "Keep an eye on him."
Kaneki responded as ordered and was about to step forward and grab her arm.
Wen Wan raised her hands and surrendered, "I'll go by myself!"
Jin Mu retreated angrily, "As long as the girl is willing to cooperate."
She wanted to refuse to cooperate, but did she dare?
Thinking this in my heart, when I looked at Achai again, my eyes were full of resentment.
While A Chai was assigning tasks to others, Wen Wan and Jin Mu started chatting.
"Is he your leader? What's his position? What's his name?"
You still need to find out the information about your enemy.
Jin Mu was startled, his face full of surprise. He cleared his throat and evaded the question, "Girl, please don't embarrass me. If you want to know about our boss, go ask him yourself. I dare not say anything."
Wen Wan glared, "It's just a name and information, what are you afraid to say?"
Jinmu shrank his neck and decided not to say anything. No matter how Wenwan mocked him, he didn't say a word.
After everything was arranged, A Chai walked towards the two of them.
When Kaneki saw him coming, he immediately slipped away, muttering to himself as he walked.
"The military advisor is right. Only villains and women are difficult to raise. Being with a girl makes me feel uncomfortable all over. How can she be so talkative with that little mouth..."
Wenwan had sharp ears and heard all of Jinmu's whispered complaints.
The corners of her mouth suddenly twitched, and she waved her little fists angrily at Kaneki's back.
That picture is three parts funny and seven parts cute.
Achai's eyes softened a little and he stood in front of her, blocking her gaze.
"I'm a captain in the border town garrison. My last name is Zhou, and my given name is Cai. From now on, if you want to know something, just ask me directly. There's no need to try to get close to my men."
Who is trying to get close to me?
Wen Wan rolled her eyes at him. He clearly heard what she asked, but he still deliberately gave her an impression of trying to get close to her.
After introducing himself, Ah Chai jokingly said, "Zhao Xiaowan, you're asking about me. Do you have any thoughts about me? What else do you want to know? How many people are there in my family? Do I have a wife and children?"
He was teasing her, and she could tell.
Usually at times like this, Wen Wan would never suffer any loss with her words.
She nodded confidently, and did not stop until her words shocked the audience.
"Not only that, I also want to know... Captain Zhou... how many abdominal muscles do you have?"
