Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

After regaining her sense of smell, she couldn't hold it back any longer and vomited with her eyes rolled back.

She squatted on the ground and waved her hands in despair.

"No, no, I can't stand it anymore. Is there any water nearby? I need to take a shower, otherwise I will die of my own stink sooner or later."

After hearing this, Zhou Li shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at An Yi and said, "You stay here and watch her. I'll go see if there's any water nearby."

After saying this, he tore off the beard on his face and looked into the distance.

Not long after, Zhou Li returned.

"Lucky for you! There's a stream just ahead. Feel free to go wash yourself. We'll keep watch for you."

Upon hearing this, Su An immediately became energized and ran towards the stream.

Unlike the polluted rivers of modern times, the stream water here is so crystal clear that you can even see the water plants swaying in the waves at the bottom. It is simply a natural swimming pool.

She hurriedly took off her clothes and walked deeper into the cave impatiently.

When his skin touched the cold stream water, Su An couldn't help but shiver and let out a soft cry.

Although Zhou Li was far away, his hearing was so good that he could still hear clearly the sound of her stirring the stream water and washing her body.

As for An Yi, no one knew where he had hidden.

In an instant, Zhou Li's ears turned red.

In order to distract himself, he crossed his arms, coughed lightly, and complained about He Chenglai.

"It was a close call just now. I was almost discovered by that brat. However, my skills can sometimes fool even the prince. How did he find out? This brat is really weird. Fortunately, you..."

Su An didn't hear what he said. She hummed a little tune and rubbed the corpse spots on her body.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the silent forest.

Zhou Li moved his ears subconsciously and thought something was wrong.

He quickly tiptoed up, knelt on one knee on a branch, and checked the situation ahead.

Not far away, He Cheng was riding towards them.

Zhou Li's pupils constricted, his face turned ashen, and he quickly slid down from the tree. He whispered to Su An behind him, "Hide quickly, He Cheng is coming!"

Damn it, isn’t this kid out of town on business?

How come you caught up so quickly?

Without thinking, Zhou Li quickly drew his sword and rushed forward.

Su An's face changed. He quickly grabbed his clothes and hid behind a rock, putting them on in a panic.

Seeing Zhou Li, He Cheng narrowed his eyes, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly used the force to bounce off the horse's back, sword in hand, and went straight towards Zhou Li.

"It seems that my guess was right, it is you!"

"You are born in the Year of the Dog, right? How come you came here just by smelling something?"

Zhou Li gritted his teeth and swung the sword in his hand with all his might.

But He Cheng's figure was like a ghost. A poisonous needle shot out from his sleeve, and then directly bypassed his sword. A sinister look flashed in his eyes. At the same time, he turned the sword over and held it in his hand. The cold blade slashed across Zhou Li's arm.

The blood instantly dyed Zhou Li's sleeves red.

Zhou Li groaned in pain and jumped back.

This kid is playing dirty tricks!

He Cheng fell to the ground and subconsciously glanced at Su An's hiding place, with a slight smile on his face.

"Your Majesty is right. Su An is indeed faking his death. Su An, don't hide. You can't escape from Your Majesty's grasp. Come back with me and apologize. Perhaps I can save you from some physical pain."

As he said that, he was about to pass Zhou Li and attack towards Su An.

"Come on!"

Now no one knew where An Yi had gone. Zhou Li didn't bother to treat his wound. He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and stepped forward again to stop He Cheng.

After being blocked by Zhou Li many times, He Cheng became a little impatient.

He glanced at Zhou Li and frowned.

"That's really troublesome, then I'll take care of you first!"

After saying this, he turned the tip of his sword and attacked directly in the direction of Zhou Li.

Zhou Li's arm was injured, and his reaction became much slower than before. After three or five moves, He Cheng kicked him in the chest, and he flew backwards and hit the tree trunk heavily.

He only felt a fishy and sweet taste rising in his throat, and he vomited a pool of blood unconsciously.

Seeing this, Su An clenched his fists, stood out from behind the stone worriedly, frowned and shouted at Zhou Li.

"Zhou Li, leave me alone and go!"

It was true that she wanted to leave, but not at the cost of sacrificing other people's lives.

He Cheng's attention was instantly drawn to Su An's voice.

"Su An, you finally decided to come out."

He Cheng sneered and strode towards Su An, as if to capture Su An.

At the critical moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the depths of the dense forest, blocked Su An, and then suddenly shot a dark green sleeve arrow towards He Cheng's face, accompanied by some unknown liquid.

He Cheng hurriedly stepped back and blocked with his sword, but was still stabbed in the shoulder.

The iron arrowhead didn't penetrate halfway.

He Cheng's body was also pulled back a few steps by the force. He knelt on one knee on the ground and drew a long groove on the ground with his sword before he finally stopped.

Seeing who was coming, Zhou Li covered his chest, stood up from the ground and urged.

"The news that Su An is still alive must not be spread out. Kill him!"

Hearing this, An Yi moved and quickly dodged. Before He Cheng could fully react, he raised his sword and slashed it towards He Cheng's neck.

Just as He Cheng's life was hanging by a thread, a burst of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from not far away.

At the same time, thousands of arrows poured down like waterfalls.

In this situation, if he killed He Cheng, he would not have time to save Su An, and Su An would surely be shot to death by arrows. But if he chose to save Su An, He Cheng would take the opportunity to escape.

Once the emperor hears that Su An is still alive, he will definitely not let it go.

He can only choose one between killing and saving people.

An Yi gritted his teeth and finally stopped his attack. He ran to Su An in three or five steps, picked her up horizontally, and used his lightness skills to move through the rain of arrows.

He Cheng also took this opportunity to cover his shoulder in embarrassment and fled in the direction of the pursuers.

"Catch them all, don't let any of them go!"

Hiding in a safe area, He Cheng had a sinister look on his face and gritted his teeth as he issued orders to the pursuers.

An Yi held Su An and walked quickly through the dense forest, Zhou Li followed closely behind, but because He Cheng's kick hit his heart meridian, once he used his internal force, his blood would surge up.

Gradually, he could no longer keep up with An Yi's pace.

But the pursuers were right behind him, and Chu Yi was a pervert. If Zhou Li was caught by him, he might have to endure some inhuman torture.

Su An couldn't help but patted An Yi's shoulder worriedly and said with a frown.

"An Yi, wait, Zhou Li is injured, you take him, I can run by myself."

As she said this, she pretended to ask An Yi to put her down.

But Zhou Li looked back and pushed them anxiously.

"It's too late. Go quickly and leave me alone. My father is a marquis after all. They won't do anything to me."
