Quick Wear: Saving Three Thousand Matches

Yun Chenyu lay quietly on the bed, his lips seemed to be covered by a layer of light purple mist due to the residual poison, like a violet about to wither in late spring, revealing a bit of fragility and sadness.

Suddenly, he coughed violently several times, and the coughs were like dull drumbeats, hitting the air around him.

As he coughed, a trace of bright red blood slowly overflowed from the corner of his mouth, like a drop of bright red ink falling on white rice paper, which was particularly dazzling.

Kong Kong was extremely worried when he saw this and said hurriedly, "Master, help him up quickly."

Upon hearing this, Jin Jiusi rushed to the bedside at lightning speed and carefully helped Yun Chenyu up.

The moment Yun Chenyu sat up, a stream of dark red blood gushed out of his mouth like a flood breaking through a dam.

The blood dripped onto his chin, chest and the snow-white quilt, forming a shocking mottled mark, like a painting full of blood and pain.

Kong Kong said: [Master, don't worry, he has already vomited out the poisonous blood.]

Jin Jiusi breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly took out a refreshing pill that exuded a faint fragrance from the space and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

After the Qingrun Pill melted in his mouth, a trace of cool air began to enter his body, slowly repairing his damaged meridians and internal organs.

Watching his breathing gradually become steady, Jin Jiusi's worries gradually dissipated.

She gently put him back on the bed, then picked up the clothes he hadn't had time to put on and carefully wrapped them around him, as if she were protecting a precious piece of porcelain.

Then she gently picked him up and took him back to her room with steady steps.

Kong Kong: Such a big thing is held in the princess's arms, and there is no sense of disobedience...

Jin Jiusi placed Yun Chenyu on his bed and saw that he was already fast asleep, so he said to Kong Kong, "Keep a good eye on him. I'm going to be out for a while."

After saying that, she opened the door and walked out.

In her hand, hidden in her sleeve, she was holding an extremely sharp dagger with a hint of black energy.

Coming downstairs, the dim light shining on the stairwell made the whole space look a little gloomy.

The first thing that caught my eye was the shopkeeper's slightly weathered face. His expression was even more tense at this moment. When he saw Jin Jiusi, a barely perceptible panic flashed in his eyes.

He saw Jin Jiusi slowly coming down the stairs. His elegant figure was particularly eye-catching in the dim light. His expression was first one of surprise, with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something incredible.

Then, he unconsciously revealed a hint of nervousness, which was like a fine spider silk wrapped around his face, making him look a little uneasy.

"Why did you come down here, girl? Is there something you need to tell me?"

The shopkeeper forced himself to put on a fake smile, but that smile seemed so fake at this moment, like a thin mask that could break at any time.

His voice was a little dry, with a hint of cautious tentativeness.

Jin Jiusi walked to the counter with a smile. His laughter was like a breeze, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.

She asked softly, "Did anyone cause trouble in the store an hour ago?"

The voice was soft and gentle, yet contained an unquestionable majesty.

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect her to ask this question suddenly, and he couldn't help feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment, then sighed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart, and began to explain, "Just now, a girl came into the shop and was spotted by a group of bullies, who dragged her away. Alas, our small shop has little influence and we dare not get involved in such dirty business, for fear of getting into trouble."

Jin Jiusi snorted in her heart, a sharp light flashed in her eyes. She stared at the shopkeeper closely, as if she could see through his inner thoughts.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there was a smile in her eyes, but the smile did not reach her eyes, making people feel a little unpredictable.

"Do you know where they took the girl?"

Jin Jiusi continued to ask, his voice still gentle.

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know where they took the girl. I only know that they left in a hurry."

There was a hint of guilt and helplessness in his eyes, as if he felt sorry for not being able to help the girl.

The shopkeeper continued to shake his head, but his eyes were a little evasive, and Jin Jiusi saw it all.

"You really don't know?" Jin Jiusi asked again.

"I don't know."

Jin Jiusi suddenly laughed out loud. Although she was wearing a human skin mask, her eyes were so attractive that the shopkeeper was instantly dazzled.

The next moment, a scream that broke through the sky resounded throughout the inn.

The dagger in Jin Jiusi's hand was now piercing through the shopkeeper's hand and nailed to the countertop.

Bright red blood quickly gushed out and flowed onto the table.

The shopkeeper widened his eyes and looked at Jin Jiusi in disbelief, "Mercy, mercy, mercy, girl, please let me go."

Jin Jiusi looked at him indifferently, tapping the table with her fingers. She said in a calm tone, "Since you refuse my toast, you should at least accept the penalty. Otherwise, who should I vent my anger on?"

"Tell me, where did everyone go?"

Jin Jiusi's voice was calm without a trace of emotion, but the threat contained in it made the shopkeeper shudder.

The innkeeper trembled and looked at Jin Jiusi in horror, "I...I'll tell you, I'll tell you. There is a secret room under the inn. They, they should be in the secret room."

"Should I? So you don't know the entrance to the secret room either?"

Jin Jiusi narrowed her eyes slightly, and a dark red dagger suddenly appeared in her hand.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper wanted to die and begged for mercy in fear, "Please spare my life, young lady. I was also captured by them. I secretly heard them say that the secret room was downstairs. I don't know anything else. Please spare my life, young lady."

"Oh. Since you are such a loser, there is no point in me keeping you. You'd better go to hell."

As she spoke, she pulled the dagger out of the back of his hand, accompanied by a splatter of blood and a scream.

Jin Jiusi looked at the blood drops splashing onto the table, and the disgust in his eyes was self-evident.

The shopkeeper didn't dare hesitate for a moment and immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Yes, it's useful, I can still be useful. I, I know a place that might be the entrance. Please spare my life, young lady."

"I thought you were tough as nails, huh? Tsk, you're just this good."

Jin Jiusi walked up to him and wiped the blood off the dagger with his clothes.

The shopkeeper was trembling all over, not daring to move, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Why don't you lead the way?" Jin Jiusi's tone was grim, like a demon from hell.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper stood up tremblingly and hurriedly took Jin Jiusi to the place that might be the entrance to the secret room.
