The morning light was just beginning to break, and the sparse sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, casting patches of light on the forest floor.

Xue Fangfei sat there like a stone sculpture all night, without eating, drinking or speaking a word.

Su Luo slowly got up from Xiao Heng's arms. She had not slept well all night, and there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

She looked at Xue Fangfei's distraught appearance and sighed with heartache.

"Xiao Heng, go find some food nearby." Su Luo ordered softly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Xiao Heng rubbed his sleepy eyes, responded, and got up and walked into the woods.

Su Luo walked to Xue Fangfei, squatted down, took out the water bag from his arms and handed it to her mouth.

"Drink some water." Su Luo's voice was very soft, with a hint of pity, "How can your body bear not eating or drinking like this?"

Xue Fangfei's eyes moved slightly, as if she heard what Su Luo said, but she still did not respond.

Seeing this, Su Luo became even more anxious. She knew that Xue Fangfei's heart was already dead. If she didn't let her ignite the flame of revenge, she was afraid...

"Your current behavior will only make that ungrateful person happier!" Su Luo's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of disappointment in his heart.

"Don't you... want revenge?" Su Luo stared at Xue Fangfei and asked word by word.

These words, like a bolt of lightning, split Xue Fangfei's chaotic consciousness.

Her body trembled violently, and a trace of fluctuation finally flashed in her originally empty eyes.

revenge……

These two words, like a sharp knife, pierced her heart.

Yes, she can't just fall down like this!

She wants revenge!

She wants to make that heartless man pay the price!

Xue Fangfei slowly raised her head and looked at Su Luo, with flames of hatred burning in her eyes.

After a long time, Xiao Heng came back with only a few unripe fruits in his hand.

"Sister, there's nothing delicious around here. I just found some fruits. You can fill your stomach first." Xiao Heng scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.

"When we get back to Kyoto, I'll take you to eat delicious food. We'll have whatever you want!" Xiao Heng tried to attract Su Luo's attention with delicious food.

Xue Fangfei's eyes swept over the fruit without saying a word. She just silently took the fruit handed to her by Su Luo and put it into her mouth mechanically.

The sour taste of the fruit stimulated her taste buds and made her more awake.

She ate while crying.

Tears mixed with juice dripped onto the ground, splashing fine dust.

Xiao Heng felt bad when he saw Xue Fangfei like this.

He glanced at Su Luo secretly, his eyes filled with questions: What should I do? Should I take her back to Kyoto?

Su Luo nodded gently. She knew that Xue Fangfei had made her choice.

"Miss, have you made up your mind?" Su Luo walked up to Xue Fangfei and asked softly.

Xue Fangfei raised her head and looked at Su Luo, her eyes full of determination and resoluteness.

She slowly knelt down, her voice hoarse but extremely firm: "I want revenge, please help me!"

Su Luo looked at the battered woman in front of him, and a strong desire to protect her surged in his heart.

She helped Xue Fangfei up and said firmly, "Okay, I'll help you!"

"But you can't return to Kyoto with your previous identity." Su Luo thought for a moment and continued, "That would be too dangerous."

"You just stay here for two days and suffer. I'll go back and find you a new identity."

Xue Fangfei nodded and looked at Su Luo gratefully: "If it weren't for your help, I would have been dead. I will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future!"

Su Luo smiled and said nothing.

She knew that what Xue Fangfei needed was not thanks, but help.

"Let's go." Su Luo said to Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng nodded, followed Su Luo, and prepared to leave.

Just then, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from not far away.

Two young women in plain clothes, carrying medicine baskets in their hands, appeared in their sight.

When they saw Su Luo and Xiao Heng, they were stunned at first, and then looked alert.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" one of the women asked.

Seeing this, Su Luo hurried forward to explain: "We are just passing by. This girl is injured and we are here to take care of her."

The two women looked at Xue Fangfei and saw that she was indeed seriously injured, so they let down their guard a little.

"We are from the Chastity Hall and are out picking herbs," said another woman.

Chapel of the Virgins?

Su Luo's heart moved, this is a good place.

"Girls, can you help me?" Su Luo asked tentatively, "This girl is seriously injured and needs a safe place to recuperate."

"We would like you to take her in for two days. After two days, we will definitely come back to pick her up."

The two women looked at each other, seeming a little hesitant.

"This……"

Seeing this, Su Luo quickly added: "We will definitely give you generous rewards and will never let you help in vain."

One of the women, named Jiang Li, looked at Xue Fangfei's desperate eyes and her heart softened.

"Okay, we can take her in, but you must come back to pick her up." Jiang Li said.

Su Luo was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, ladies! We will always remember your kindness!"

Xue Fangfei also looked at Jiang Li and the other woman with gratitude.

"Thank you, ladies..." Her voice was still hoarse, but full of sincerity.

Su Luo gave Xue Fangfei some more instructions, asking her to rest assured and recuperate here, and promised that he would come back to pick her up.

Afterwards, Su Luo and Xiao Heng left.

Jiang Li and another woman helped Xue Fangfei back to the Chastity Hall.

Along the way, Xue Fangfei remained silent and just followed silently.

She had originally thought she had fallen into an abyss with no hope of survival, but unexpectedly, she found a way out and met someone willing to help her. This kindness was as heavy as Mount Tai.

Back at the Chaste Hall, Jiang Li and another woman—Jiang Li introduced her as Tong'er—arranged a clean room for Xue Fangfei. Hot water was already prepared, and a bowl of steaming noodle soup with a golden egg perched on top was placed nearby.

"You should have a good rest first. If you need anything, just tell us." Jiang Li said softly, with concern in her tone.

Xue Fangfei looked at Jiang Li, her eyes full of gratitude. She opened her mouth, but her voice was still hoarse: "Thank you..."

Jiang Li smiled, turned around and left the room with Tong'er.

Xue Fangfei sat alone at the table, looking at the bowl of steaming noodles, but she had no appetite. Her mind was full of hatred and Shen Yurong's hypocritical face.

"Gurgle..." My stomach growled.

Xue Fangfei gave a bitter laugh. In her current state, how could she even talk about revenge? Even staying alive was a luxury. She picked up the bowl and forced herself to take a few bites.

The noodles tasted light, yet warm. This long-lost warmth warmed her icy heart a little.
