Wendy slept for a long time; when she woke up, there was already a hot meal on the table.
"Mmm, I slept so well, ha~" Wendy stretched and wiped away the tears that came out of her yawn. She walked out of the room and saw the steaming hot dishes on the table.
The door to the next room was closed, and there were no embarrassing sounds coming from inside. It was assumed that Seno and Tinari had returned, eaten, and gone to sleep. Wendy also slowed her pace and swept the food off the table, using wind to clean the dirty dishes.
Mind your own business when it comes to pretty boys.
"Recently, for some reason, the city lord has been in a hurry to find a beauty. He has sent people from all the families, big and small, to try her out, but he still can't find the beauty in his heart."
"It is said that the city lord's son has already started to fantasize."
"Shh, talking about the city lord's son behind his back, do you even want to live?"
While washing the dishes, the wind carried the latest news. Wendy's ears twitched slightly, and she thought: So the young master I met that day was the city lord's son.
I felt a little regretful; I should have squeezed out more money before leaving.
The city lord's son must be very rich. By extorting more money, he can drink one more bottle of wine instead of having to drink four bottles.
As night fell, Wendy couldn't sleep. Outside, the city was brightly lit and bustling with activity. Wendy left the welfare housing.
On a dark and windy night, perfect for taking on some commissions, I received a commission to escort a caravan to a small town called Xiyue Town near Tengfei City. The commission is 700 psychic energy, and includes food and lodging, but you must intervene if there is any danger.
So when Wendy accepted the request, the receptionist was still a little surprised.
In other words, why would a fair-skinned, delicate-looking young woman accept such a high-risk mission?
But Wendy simply pulled her hat down low and turned to disappear into the night.
The location on the sign was very obvious: two horses were pulling a caravan loaded with supplies, and four burly men were guarding it.
"Boss, do you think anyone's taken this job?" The fourth brother, a cigarette dangling from his lips, leaned impatiently against the caravan with his arms crossed. "The association has already sent a message saying someone's taken it, but the note says... it might surprise us." The boss looked at the message the association had just sent and read it aloud uncertainly.
"How surprised? Pfft, I wouldn't be surprised if it weren't for the number one on that list." The third brother had a scar over his right eye, yellow teeth, and his words reeked of foul odor.
"Hello, are you the four镖师 (bodyguard brothers)?" The clear voice sounded like a lark singing to the four grown men, but they looked around and saw no one. "Could you please look down? It's very impolite to a bard." The clear voice was tinged with grievance. Looking down, the four men were immediately captivated by a pair of large eyes that were a mix of deep blue and emerald green.
"You're the psychic who accepted the commission?" The leader was surprised. "A low-level psychic like you, you didn't come here to mix psychic powers, did you?" "Hey! That's very impolite! That's the worst way to belittle a bard." Wendy puffed out her cheeks and frowned, but she didn't look angry at all. Instead, there was a hint of coquettishness in her expression.
The four bodyguard brothers, who had never been in contact with such a beautiful woman before and were all single, suddenly felt their hearts swell with excitement. Wendy, however, took the opportunity to slip into the carriage, find a comfortable seat, and said, "Let's go. Along the way, bards will sing the most beautiful songs in the world, and they won't charge you anything~ Hehe~"
With things having come to this, the four镖师 (bodyguard/escort) brothers had no choice but to set off. Sure enough, a lyre appeared in the hands of the young bard, and he began to play music. The sound of the night wind accompanied the music, and the brothers' occasional humming became an interlude. The stars and the moon in the sky seemed to shine even brighter, as if they were all applauding this beautiful sound.
"It looks like a sandstorm ahead." The second brother had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that something was wrong with the area ahead. Wendy turned around after hearing this, and indeed, the tornado in front of them was very tall, and the yellow sand it was whipping up was terrifying.
"Wow, looks like we're going to have an even bigger audience!" Wendy's lyre glowed faintly, and to the astonishment of the four镖师 (bodyguard/escort) brothers, Wendy flew into the sky. With a flick of her small hand, she strummed the lyre, and the slow, lively music pierced through the tornado, which immediately vanished without a trace.
"Hehe~ Let's keep going~" Wendy sat back down on the supplies, crossed her legs, and her strong and slender legs wrapped in white stockings made people want to touch them.
However, after witnessing the strength of this superhuman, the four镖师 (bodyguards) brothers tacitly abandoned such thoughts.
A superhuman who can wipe out a tornado with a wave of their hand must have a high level of superpower.
The journey went smoothly. When Wendy got tired of playing, she changed her position and curled up on the supplies to sleep. The caravan traveled smoothly through the desert.
As a result, someone came out and robbed them.
"Halt! Hand over the supplies!" A rough voice rang out, and the four镖师 (bodyguard brothers) all frowned.
Ahead appeared an old acquaintance, a force in the desert called the Gold Sand People. The Gold Sand People leader often encountered the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) leader, and for some reason, this Gold Sand People leader started robbing the镖师 leader.
"Hey, Hongsha, you're going to steal such a small amount of supplies? No wonder everyone in the underworld is saying you're doing worse and worse." The leader spoke first, his voice full of sarcasm. Hongsha didn't take the bait, and just said, "You know my rules. Hand over the supplies, and I'll spare your and your brothers' lives."
"Hey, you've fought us before, do you think you and your henchmen can beat us?" the leader said with a disdainful look.
The two of them were talking louder and louder, which woke up Wendy behind them.
"You guys are talking really loudly." A slightly aggrieved and soft voice rang out. Wendy rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened them to see that both groups of people had stopped and were looking at her.
"Huh? Did I say something wrong?" Wendy suddenly felt very cold.
“I’ve changed my mind. You can take the supplies, but this little beauty must stay,” Hongsha said.
"Huh?" Wendy's mind went blank, and she hadn't come to her senses yet.
“Impossible. We need both supplies and people. And don’t underestimate him, Hongsha. You’ll suffer a great loss because of your judgment of appearance,” the leader said.
Wendy, having sorted out her thoughts, asked, "So, we were robbed, right?"
(Merry Christmas, little readers~ Have you eaten an apple yet?)
