Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Zhixue smacked her lips softly, without the slightest fluctuation on her face, as if she had already gotten used to the separation of life and death.

She took out a small bottle of corpse powder from her sleeve and skillfully sprinkled it on the bodies that had just lost their vital signs.

"Alas, such a small amount of precious corpse powder has to be wasted on insignificant people like you."

After she finished speaking, she waited for a moment, until the corpses gradually melted into nothingness, leaving only emptiness and silence.

After everything was settled, Xiao Zhixue slowly walked towards the stone steps ahead, each step appearing exceptionally steady and resolute.

Coming to a tightly closed door, her eyes were fixed on the copper lock. Although the lock was old, it was still strong, tightly locking the path to the unknown.

Low sobbing sounds could be heard faintly in the house, as if foreshadowing that some sad or terrifying story was quietly unfolding.

Without thinking, Xiao Zhixue moved her slender hands slightly and easily broke the seemingly indestructible copper lock in two halves. Her strength was astonishing.

With a creaky sound, the heavy wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a stale musty smell and oppressive atmosphere wafted in the air.

"Don't come over here, I'd rather die than obey you!"

Yu Li's crying and screaming voice came from inside the house. She was obviously frightened by the sudden intrusion. She curled up on the bed, wrapped herself tightly with the quilt, and her body trembled with extreme fear.

Xiao Zhixue walked into the room with eyes as sharp as an eagle, but when she saw the shivering figure, her movements couldn't help but soften.

She gently lifted a corner of the quilt. At this moment, Yu Li seemed to see the god of death coming. She couldn't help but scream. Her body was almost exhausted and she almost fainted.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhixue quickly reached out her hand and gently covered Yu Li's mouth, her voice low but soothing: "Don't make a sound, this will cause more unnecessary trouble."

Yu Li opened her eyes in horror, and in the dim light, she vaguely discovered that the person in front of her was a woman with a cold and elegant temperament, not the Jin Chengfeng she feared. For a moment, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She was shocked and frightened, fearing that any of her actions would anger this uninvited guest.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Zhixue's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, and then she asked in a tone that was almost declarative: "You are Yu Fugui's daughter, Yu Li, right?"

When Yu Li heard this, although her heart was surging, she still nodded tremblingly, as if this simple action had exhausted all her strength.

After confirming it, Xiao Zhixue finally felt relieved. She let out a breath and looked determined, "Wait until I remove my hand. Don't make a sound. We have to be careful."

Yu Li's pupils trembled slightly, and she nodded nervously, as if she was holding her breath.

Xiao Zhixue slowly removed her hand that was blocking her view and told her gently but firmly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to take you home."

When Yu Li heard this, the long-awaited hope in her heart surged like a tide. She could no longer hold back her tears, which burst out and slid down her cheeks hotly.

She tightly grasped Xiao Zhixue's hand. The warmth and determination gave her unprecedented courage. She begged, "Sister, please take me away from this damn place quickly. My father has been arrested. I must find him. There is no time to lose!"

Xiao Zhixue felt the other party's eagerness, gently pulled out her hand, and helped Yu Li, who was a little weak due to being restrained for a long time, to get off the bed. Her actions were full of care.

Just as the two were about to slip out the door quietly, the heavy and harsh sound of dragging iron chains broke the silence of the night and echoed in this claustrophobic space.

The two of them turned around at the same time, and saw in the dim candlelight, a thick iron chain with a cold glow was tightly tied around Yu Li's slender ankle, which looked particularly hideous.

Yu Li's body trembled with pain and tears burst out again. Those were the shackles that Jin Chengfeng had set up to completely cut off her thoughts of escape.

This sudden obstacle made Yu Li's heart sink to the bottom. Even if someone came to rescue her, it seemed difficult to cross this iron wall.

Despair enveloped her like a black fog. Yu Li covered her face and cried, her body trembling with helplessness.

At this moment of despair, a crisp sound of metal breaking pierced the air, like the dawn of hope piercing through the darkness.

Yu Li opened her tearful eyes in surprise and was shocked by the scene before her.

The iron chain that had made her despair and locked her up for dozens of days and nights was torn apart by Xiao Zhixue's powerful strength, and the broken part shone with a strange luster.

Yu Li’s eyes widened in disbelief, and she was speechless for a long time.

"Don't stand there, this is an emergency, we have to leave here immediately."

Xiao Zhixue's voice brought Yu Li back from her shock. She held Yu Li's hand tightly and took firm steps towards the freedom outside the door.

They didn't have much time, and Xiao Zhixue was thinking about the meeting plan with Fan Yanmu in her mind, and every step seemed extremely urgent.

However, just as she stepped out of the door, Yu Li, weak due to long-term confinement, missed a step and almost fell down the stairs.

Xiao Zhixue was quick to act and steadied the shaky Yu Li.

Seeing Yu Li's legs trembling, she made a decisive decision to carry Yu Li on her back.

"That's not good, girl. I can walk on my own."

Yu Li's face turned slightly red. She felt both grateful and embarrassed for Xiao Zhixue's carrying her, and tried to break free.

Xiao Zhixue carried her on her back without giving her any time to discuss it, and quickened her pace. "With your current strength, you stagger after every two steps. If we put you down, how far can we go?"

There was an unquestionable determination in her words. Yu Li was speechless for a moment and could only lower her head and lean on Xiao Zhixue's back, feeling mixed emotions.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Zhixue hurriedly carried Yu Li on her back. On the way, she encountered patrolmen from Xuan Yutang, but she moved quickly and quietly dealt with them one by one.

This time, she did not use the precious corpse powder, but simply cleared the obstacles with extremely high efficiency, not wanting to waste more resources on this group of minions.

While running, they could faintly hear the sound of fierce fighting in the distance. Xiao Zhixue had already figured it out in her mind that it must be Fan Yanmu fighting with the people from Xuan Yutang.

When she got closer, she found that it was Shadow One and Shadow Two who were fighting, but there was no trace of Fan Yanmu, which made Xiao Zhixue feel a little confused.

As more and more people from Xuan Yu Tang were attracted, the situation became increasingly critical.

Xiao Zhixue acted decisively and placed Yu Li in a relatively secluded corner, telling her to stay there and not move rashly.

Yu Li nodded repeatedly with fear in her eyes, curled up in the corner, her body shaking unconsciously with fear.

Xiao Zhixue did not have time to stay. Without drawing the long sword behind her, she simply pulled out the whip from her waist and joined the battle flexibly and deadly.

At this time, Ying Er was being besieged by a group of enemies. Although he fought hard, he seemed to be unable to do so.
