After the death of the host: the tyrant cried red eyes

"This road is the only way to Biancheng. I wonder if Miss Shen is also going to Bianzhou? If so, we can discuss story ideas on the way."

Outside the tea stall, various carriages were lined up in a row. Shen Bingning immediately spotted a gorgeous carriage with a "Fu" sign hanging on it, and secretly guessed that it must be Fu Yun's means of transportation.

"Very good. This way, I can save myself the trouble of looking for a carriage."

Stepping into the carriage, Shen Bingning gently pulled open a corner of the curtain and cast a curious glance outside.

Fu Yun held a folding fan in his hand and gently fanned it. He seemed to have noticed her actions and asked casually, "But is there anything wrong?"

"nothing."

Shen Bingning uttered these two words softly, as if trying to hide the waves in her heart. Her fingers lightly pulled the curtains, blocking out the outside world, as if trying to isolate the thoughts that made her uneasy.

It was late at night and there was silence outside the inn. Only the occasional cry of night birds pierced the sky, adding a bit of loneliness and mystery.

She was secretly worried in her heart, wondering if the secret guard beside Xiao Yi would follow her silently like a shadow, and just when she thought she had gotten rid of everything, he would suddenly appear and ruthlessly take her back to that place full of bondage and pain.

Although she was afraid, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Since Xiao Yi has never admitted the existence of secret guards, perhaps this is her chance. Perhaps he has never thought of sending those secret guards to hunt her down and prevent her from escaping.

From Shangyuan Town to here, she was very careful along the way, paying attention to every slight movement, but she never noticed any signs of being followed.

Could it be that I am really too sensitive and worrying too much?

Could it be that Xiao Yi’s secret guards really didn’t come to look for her?

Thinking of this, a more complicated emotion surged in my heart.

Did Xiao Yi really not care about her running away? If so, that would undoubtedly be the most ideal situation, and she could start a new life without any worries.

However, intuition is always so subtle yet cannot be ignored. It gently reminded her in her heart that the possibility of this happening is very small, and Xiao Yi is not the kind of person who will let go easily.

The carriage continued to move north. Inside the shaking carriage, Shen Bingning gently opened the yellowed volume of The Gods. Her fingertips slid across the pages as she began to construct a delicate and fascinating story for the first flower god to appear in the book.

In her imagination, the flower god is not only the master of all flowers, but also has his own unique joys and sorrows. The peony fairy and rose fairy under the flower god's tutelage each have a splendid yet sad story.

She briefly outlines the plot framework, and her words are full of deep understanding and sympathy for the characters' fate.

Fu Yun, who was sitting nearby, gently closed the fan in his hand, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

"This is a wonderful story! But then again, since the flower god's attendants already include beauties like the Peony Fairy and the Rose Fairy, are there more unknown flower fairies in the world?"

He asked with great interest, as if he was also deeply attracted by Shen Bingning's story idea.

Shen Bingning smiled slightly and turned to the second page, which was a record about the sun god. The golden light of the sun seemed to flow out from between the lines, illuminating the world inside the car.

She browsed through the texts recording the lives of the gods page by page, and gradually built up a vivid and colorful story world in her mind.

These stories were like the rising sun, warm and full of hope. She slowly closed the book only when every plot had found the most suitable destination in her heart.

After hearing this, Fu Yun's excitement was beyond words and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks. He stared at Shen Bingning, his eyes full of admiration and an indescribable adoration.

In front of such a talented woman, even he couldn't help but feel yearning for her.

Shen Bingning already had a plan in mind. Since she had decided to stay in Bianzhou for a while to complete these stories, she naturally needed to find a temporary place to stay.

So, she turned to Fu Yun and asked in a tentative tone: "Mr. Fu, you should be familiar with Bianzhou, right?"

Fu Yun nodded, a trace of memory flashed in his eyes: "I guess so. Every year, there are always a few times when I come here to take a walk and have a look."

Shen Bingning felt a little comforted and continued, "Do you know where in Bianzhou there is an inconspicuous but relatively safe house? I want a quiet place where I can concentrate on recording these stories."

Fu Yun seemed extremely enthusiastic about Shen Bingning's needs: "It just so happens that I have a mansion in Bianzhou. If Miss Shen doesn't mind, you can live there temporarily."

Shen Bingning weighed the pros and cons in her heart. If it was really as she expected, Xiao Yi had already set up a tight net, and ordinary residence might not be safe.

She pinched the corner of her clothes tightly, tears flickering in her eyes: "Master Fu may find it strange that I have fallen to this place alone. To tell you the truth, I am escaping from a hard time. A few months ago, I was forced to be a concubine by a notorious bully. His behavior was despicable and shameless. He tortured me in every way. Every day was spent in intimidation and threats."

Speaking of this, Shen Bingning's voice couldn't help but tremble, her eyes reddened, the shadow of the past still made her feel frightened.

"I couldn't stand it anymore, so I chose to flee. But now, the bully is probably searching for me everywhere. If I fall into his clutches, I'm afraid that what awaits me will be a more cruel fate, or even a torture worse than death."

Fear and past sufferings almost made her collapse, but her eyes still revealed determination and indomitable spirit.

When Fu Yun heard this, he was filled with sympathy and anger: "I didn't expect Miss Shen to suffer such a misfortune."

"Yes, but luckily I escaped."

Shen Bingning tried hard to control her emotions and took a breath. "So, please help me find a temporary safe haven in a place where it is not easy to be discovered."

Fu Yun pondered for a moment, with a hint of hesitation on his face, which made Shen Bingning a little nervous. She quickly added, "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, I won't disturb you for too long. Once the story is finished and I have enough money, I will naturally find another place to live."

Fu Yun quickly explained: "Miss Shen misunderstood, I just thought of a place that is very suitable for your current needs, but I don't know if you will accept it."

Shen Bingning's eyes were full of anticipation: "Where is it? As long as I can avoid Xiao Yi, I'm willing to try anywhere."

"The backyard of the brothel in Bianzhou."

Fu Yun noticed that when Shen Bingning heard the word "brothel", her eyes instantly brightened, flashing with a hint of curiosity and excitement that was difficult to conceal.

For Shen Bingning, ancient brothels are mysterious places.
