The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

At this time, the men in black had already blocked the carriage's path! The leader of them said in a deep voice, "Miss, please get off the carriage. I want to ask you something!"

Wang Xinyao forced herself to remain calm and got off the carriage. "Big brother, what do you want to see me about?"

At this moment, the leader took out a portrait from his bosom, unfolded it, and handed it to Wang Xinyao: "Excuse me, young lady, have you ever seen this person?"

Wang Xinyao stared at it for a moment, startled. The person in the painting bore a certain resemblance to Zhao Haoxuan. She quickly regained her composure and said, "Brother, such a nobleman is beyond the reach of peasants like us. I've never seen the person in the painting before!"

The leader remained silent. It was obvious that he had asked countless people and got the same answer from everyone!

At that moment, one of the men in black finally lost his temper. His face was gloomy, and he complained loudly and emotionally, "Boss, we're so unlucky! We've been looking for him for four or five months! The higher-ups clearly announced that he'd arrived in Nanhu County, but we've turned the entire county upside down and haven't seen a single trace of him! If this keeps going on, how long will we ever find a clue?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another man, also dressed in black, quickly chimed in, "That's right! Look at the weather, it's getting colder day by day. We've been living out in the open, running around all day. Life is truly miserable! I don't know when this will end!"

Immediately afterwards, all the men in black began to complain!

"Boss, we are suffering so much! It's been so long since we went to Yihongyuan to have fun!" Suddenly, someone blurted out these words, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves.

"Yihongyuan..." This word was like a magic spell, causing the four men in black present to look at Wang Xinyao in unison.

At this moment, Wang Xinyao was dressed in the simple attire of a village woman, but even so, it was difficult to conceal her natural beauty. Her facial features seemed to be meticulously carved, so exquisite that they were breathtaking, and her skin was as white as snow, as if it could be blown away.

Those four obscene gazes fell on Wang Xinyao unscrupulously, greedily wandering over every curve of her body. Those disgusting eyes were a great insult to Wang Xinyao.

Wang Xinyao felt a sudden chill in her heart, a chill running down her spine. But she knew she couldn't easily reveal her true feelings at this moment. So, in a split second, her eyes, once gleaming with coldness, returned to normal, replaced by a shy blush that crept up her cheeks.

She lowered her head slightly and gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, looking like a timid and cowardly girl who had never experienced the world. At the same time, she deliberately pretended to be terrified and at a loss, as if she would collapse to the ground at any moment because of the scene before her.

Wang Xinyao pondered to herself, "Looking at these four people, their strength is probably comparable to mine, especially the black-clad leader. Judging from the aura emanating from him, his cultivation must have reached at least Grandmaster level." If these people really force themselves, there's no guarantee she'll be able to escape unscathed. If she's not careful, she might even find herself in extremely dangerous territory.

"Shut up, don't cause trouble at this time! Be careful or the people above might take your heads!" The leading man in black coughed lightly, and everyone immediately quieted down.

At this time, the leading man in black looked at Wang Xinyao's carriage, then looked at Wang Xinyao again. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"In that case, excuse me for disturbing you." After saying that, he led his men to leave.

Wang Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn back to the carriage when she suddenly heard the leading man in black speak again: "However, if you see this person in the future, please let me know."

He handed Wang Xinyao a token and said, "With this token, you can come to the Yuelai Inn in Ping'an Town to find me."

Wang Xinyao took the token and nodded, "If you really see this person, I will let you know."

After the mysterious man in black disappeared, Wang Xinyao's heart finally settled down a little, but she didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. She hurriedly got on the carriage, waved the whip in her hand, and galloped away, raising a cloud of dust.

However, Wang Xinyao was completely unaware that the men in black had not truly left. As she anxiously drove the carriage away, the men in black stood still, watching Wang Xinyao's carriage gradually go further away.

When the carriage completely disappeared from sight, the leading man in black narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Brothers, let's follow this road and search carefully in the direction of each village!"

"Boss, why?" a man in black asked puzzledly!

The leading man in black said, "It's a feeling. I have a feeling that if we follow the direction this girl is going, we'll find the person we're looking for! Furthermore, although she may appear a little afraid of us, the look in her eyes is very sharp, and the way she drives is a bit like someone with martial arts skills. This isn't something a village woman should possess!"

Another man in black asked, "Boss, why did you let her go just now? How can we find her again if she leaves like this?"

The leading man in black explained, "If I had asked her directly just now, would she have told us if the person we're looking for was really with her? What if we alerted the enemy? We finally got a clue, but it's gone like this. Wouldn't all the efforts of the past few months have been wasted!"

The leading black-clad figure looked in the direction Wang Xinyao had left and continued, "There are only four villages along this road. Behind the villages are mountains. The danger level in the mountains is very high. Anyone who enters the mountains will almost certainly never return. Therefore, our search area is very limited. We only need to find out which village the stranger has come from!"

"Boss, do we need to report to our superiors before taking any action?" A shorter man in black finally couldn't contain his inner anxiety and blurted out the question.

The leading black-clad figure frowned, lost in thought. He slowly spoke, "Hmm... After careful consideration, I think it's best not to report this for now. After all, if the target isn't in these villages and we rashly report it, we'll all be in big trouble if they blame us. I'm afraid no one will escape severe punishment. So, in my opinion, it's better to quietly investigate the situation. Even if we do encounter him by chance, given his current level of cultivation, he's no match for us. Once we're confirmed, it won't be too late to report it."

After hearing this, the other men in black looked at each other and nodded in agreement, indicating that they had no objection to the leader's decision.

By the time Wang Xinyao finally arrived at her doorstep, it was already completely dark. However, Zhao Haoxuan and the others at home hadn't gone to bed. Instead, they gathered in the spacious living room, anxiously awaiting her arrival. They fidgeted restlessly, frequently getting up and gazing out the door, eager for Wang Xinyao's safe return.

It was not until they saw Wang Xinyao's carriage slowly driving into the yard from afar that everyone's hearts, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down and they all showed happy smiles on their faces.

"Girl, you're finally back!"

"Sister, you are finally back!"

"Xinyao, it's a good thing you're back. If you hadn't come back, I would have gone looking for you!" As soon as Zhao Haoxuan saw Wang Xinyao, he hurried forward. There was worry in his eyes, as if Wang Xinyao was everything in his life.

Seeing Zhao Haoxuan and the children so nervous, Wang Xinyao felt a surge of warmth, yet also a touch of guilt. She raised her lips slightly, revealing an apologetic yet warm smile, and said, "I'm so sorry I was delayed today. I'll manage my time well and not keep you waiting like I did today. From now on, you can all go to bed and don't have to wait for me. Don't worry, I've started learning martial arts just like you, and I'm capable of protecting myself! You all should go to bed. Oh, and don't forget to boil water in the water tank for a foot soak before bed!"

Hearing Wang Xinyao's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Chen Jingyuan, Xie Dahua, and the others immediately returned to their rooms!

However, Zhao Haoxuan did not leave immediately, but stood there calmly, his eyes always fixed on Wang Xinyao, as if he had something else to say.

Wang Xinyao looked at him with a hint of doubt. After all, she had a lot going on today and needed to sort it out. So she asked, "Brother Zhao, what brings you here?"

"Xinyao, did anything happen today?" Zhao Haoxuan asked, because he noticed a little panic in her eyes, which was an expression she had never had before, although she concealed it very well!

After all, I underestimated his wisdom and my position in his heart. He could even see through such a subtle expression!

Wang Xinyao then told him everything about her encounter with the men in black. She said worriedly, "Brother Zhao, they're getting closer to us!"

Then she took out her cell phone. Now that they were in the same boat, it wouldn't be a bad idea to show off a little of her strength occasionally.

She unlocked the phone with her fingerprint and said in a deep voice, "I found this item when I fell off a cliff sometime ago. By chance, it has recognized me as its master, and only I can open it. It has a video recording function, and because it's very convenient to hold in my hand, I call it a phone!"
