Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 284 A Moment's Thought Across Mountains and Rivers 3

"It's a silver-ringed snake. Where did you get it?" he asked Chu Yuebai.

The others came over as well, and Sun Lang said, "Great! Yuanlu is saved!"

Chu Yuebai looked at Qian Zhao and handed him the snake. Qian Zhao took it and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Then I saw her take out a bag from her sleeve, open the bag, pull out a snake from it, and ask with a smile.

"Is one enough? I have some more."

Qian Zhao: ...

Everyone:……

So you're a pretty girl, and you actually carry a poisonous snake with you?

Judging from the bag she was carrying, there was probably more than one snake. I wonder what she was going to do with so many.

Qian Zhao said, "One is enough. I'll go and prepare the medicine for Yuanlu first."

"Beautiful lady, you truly surprise people in a unique way!" Yu Shisan said, leaning closer to her.

Sun Lang and Ding Hui also spoke up, saying, "Thank you for today, young lady!"

Seeing the gratitude in their eyes, Chu Yuebai looked at Ren Ruyi, who smiled and nodded at her.

"No need to be polite, I happen to have some on me, I'm glad I could help!"

“You saved Yuanlu’s life. I’ll tell Ning Yuanzhou when he returns,” Ren Ruyi said.

“Yes, when Yuanlu wakes up, he will come to thank you, young lady,” Sun Lang said.

“Yes!” Ding Hui also said.

Yu Shisan looked at Chu Yuebai and said with a smile, "This life-saving grace should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. Yuanlu is still young, so let me do it for him!"

Qian Zhao, who had just finished preparing the medicine and was about to go decoct it, stepped out of the room and, upon hearing this, asked, "Are you planning to repay my kindness by offering yourself to me?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shisan froze instantly, his smile also stiffening.

Seeing his expression, the others also smiled slightly.

Sun Lang joked, "Yeah, didn't you claim that you'd drink the strongest liquor, look at the most beautiful girls, and never get married?"

“You’re right, but repaying a debt of gratitude doesn’t necessarily mean offering yourself in return, right, my beauty!” Yu Shisan said after recovering.

Chu Yuebai smiled, said nothing, and turned to go back to her room.

"The beauty doesn't fancy you!" Sun Lang said with a grin.

Yu Shisan said confidently, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Host, why didn't you just cure Yuanlu directly? Why did you want to buy snakes just now?" Xiaoqi asked.

Chu Yuebai sat down at the table and said, "Do you think that I've only met them for the first time today, and I'm already doing them such a big favor? Won't people suspect my motives?"

Moreover, buying a bag of snakes only costs ten points, which is not much.

Xiao Qi thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true. Host, are you planning to follow them from now on?"

“An envoy isn’t someone you can just follow around!” Chu Yuebai said.

"Host, you'd better think of a solution!"

Chu Yuebai paused, her hand holding the teacup still. "I've noticed something's wrong with you. You keep making me follow them. Tell me why?"

"Hehe, host, you figured it out!" Xiao Qi said with a smile.

Chu Yuebai guessed, "You haven't mentioned the side quests of this world yet. Could the quests be related to them?"

"Host, you guessed right. The side quest of this world is that none of them can die!" Xiao Qi said.

"All these characters in the story are dead. How can I save so many people?"

"Host, are you going to take this mission or not?"

Chu Yuebai frowned. She needed to think about this; doing it would inevitably cause trouble.

"Let me think about it, and we'll talk about it later!"

"Good host."

The following evening, Chu Yuebai was still in her room when she heard a knock on the door.

She walked over and opened the door. Standing outside was Ren Ruyi. She said, "Everyone outside is gathered together drinking and chatting, waiting for you to come over."

Chu Yuebai nodded: "Okay, let's go then!"

She closed the door and followed Ren Ruyi outside, where she saw the lively scene.

They were sitting and drinking, chatting, and watching the soldiers perform.

Ren Ruyi walked over and said, "Give me a bowl of wine too."

“Drinking from a bowl isn’t enough, we need a pot. Would both beauties like to drink?” Yu Shisan said with a smile.

Chu Yuebai shook her head: "I don't need it, you guys drink!"

Knowing that this was Ren Ruyi's way of making Ning Yuanzhou jealous, she decided not to join in.

"Alright, let's drink, beauty!" Yu Shisan said to Ren Ruyi.

Watching the two of them drink, Ning Yuanzhou glanced at Chu Yuebai and said, "I've heard about Yuanlu's matter, thank you!"

Chu Yuebai shook her head, her expression unchanged, and said, "It's just a coincidence!"

"Thank you for your help twice, Miss Chu. I toast you!" Ning Yuanzhou picked up the wine pot, poured two bowls of wine, and handed one to her.

Feeling everyone's gaze upon her, especially the subtle changes on Ren Ruyi's face, Chu Yuebai couldn't show it on her face, but inwardly she was cursing.

"Xiao Qi, their jealousy has actually involved other people!"

"Host, they're thanking you, so you can't refuse the drink!"

"So, they have a valid reason to implicate an innocent person like me."

Chu Yuebai took the wine bowl, touched it with his bowl, and drank it all in one gulp: "No need to be polite, I'll go check if the roast lamb is ready!"

After saying that, Chu Yuebai left this place of trouble. She didn't want to become a part of their game and wanted to avoid getting involved.

She walked over to the group of people roasting lamb nearby, and Qian Zhao glanced at her: "It'll be a while before it's ready!"

Chu Yuebai nodded: "Yes, I'm not in a hurry!" She just came here to escape the stench of romance over there.

Qian Zhao silently quickened his pace, hesitated for a moment, and then asked curiously, "How did you fall from the sky that day?"

"Just an accident!" Chu Yuebai didn't elaborate.

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhao did not ask her any further questions.

Seeing Chu Yuebai walk so fast, the group laughed.

"Old Ning, hahaha!" Yu Shisan mocked mercilessly, laughing at how he also wanted to make Ruyi jealous, but Miss Chu saw through it and didn't help him.

Ning Yuanzhou glared at him, then picked up his wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Ren Ruyi maintained a smile on her face, showing nothing.

Sun Lang said, "Old Yu, go up there and give us a performance!"

"One more, one more!" the people below shouted in unison.

Yu Shisan readily agreed, "One if you want, then one!"

He went up and gave what he considered a very captivating performance, then glanced at the people drinking on the side.

“Sister Ruyi, he’s looking at you!” Yang Ying said with a smile.

Ren Ruyi glanced at Ning Yuanzhou, smiled, stood up, and went on stage to dance with Yu Shisan.

The sound of applause came from all around. Chu Yuebai turned her head to look at it, then looked away.

Qian Zhao glanced at her expression: "Why don't you go over there and join the fun?"

Chu Yuebai shook her head, looked at the roasted lamb, and casually smiled, saying, "It smells so tempting, it's quite appealing to me!"

Qian Zhao nodded and began to focus on roasting the lamb.

A figure emerged from the room; Genroku approached.

He said to Chu Yuebai, "Brother Qian told me everything about my situation, Sister Yuebai, thank you!"
