The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

"tranquil……"

Before she could even feel the fear of impending death, An Xinlian cried out An Mi's name. In her eyes, An Mi stood on the cliff, aloof and otherworldly, her figure almost still visible, a faint smile on her face, tinged with disdain and coldness.

She should have caught her! But... thinking of An Mi's compliant behavior just now, An Xinlian suddenly realized that An Mi had known what she was going to do all along, so when she wanted to drag her down to hell with her, she attacked her hand!

“Anmi… Anmi… You did a great job…”

An Xinlian's unwilling roar echoed between the cliffs, and she had fallen off the cliff and was nowhere to be seen.

On the cliff, Bai Yi sneered, "You overestimating fool, you're doomed if you fall."

How could he not see that An Xinlian had ill intentions? However, he believed that An Mi could handle it, and An Mi certainly did not disappoint him.

Anmi gazed into the bottomless cliff, thinking, "I want to see them alive or dead. Even if they were eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, I want to leave some clue."

An Mi's meaning was crystal clear: even if An Xinlian had no chance of survival, she wanted to confirm it herself. Bai Yi and Yan Bing exchanged a glance, understanding perfectly. If An Mi wanted to confirm it, they would naturally have to search for her.

An Yuefeng was so frightened that his legs went weak, and now he wet his pants, a strong smell of urine filling the air, and his crotch was soaked.

"Haha, this old man has no guts at all, isn't he ashamed? Is he even a man?" The second-in-command laughed loudly, and then the others joined in the jeering.

An Yuefeng no longer cared about saving face. He had already lost An Mi's trust after making that oath. What could he do?

It seems he can't escape death tonight. He regrets it so much. If he had treated his daughter better in the past, she would not have left him with no way to live. But what good is regret now?

"It's so late, I'm a little tired." An Mi rubbed her forehead, frowned slightly, and looked genuinely exhausted.

"What should we do with him?" Yan Bing glanced at An Yuefeng with disdain. "I've never seen such a coward. Humph, he's dirtied my mountain. I won't let this go."

This sounds rather ridiculous. The deaths of Yu Fangfei and An Xinlian have already stained this mountain with blood. This bandit leader doesn't seem to mind the filth, but he complains that An Yuefeng's urine has soiled the mountain. Yan Bing is clearly deliberately making things difficult for him.

An Yuefeng was initially delighted when An Mi said he was tired, thinking that An Mi would not punish him for the time being, which meant that he still had a chance. However, after hearing Yan Bing's words, his heart sank off a cliff.

An Mi is not someone to be trifled with, and Yan Bing is no better.

"I know I was wrong, I'll clean it up." An Yuefeng was in a daze and actually crawled on the ground, licking the wet spot like a dog. Yan Bing shook her head in disgust as she watched.

An Mi smiled. This An Yuefeng, who always valued his reputation, was actually being so humble today. He truly knew how to bend and stretch.

"Bing'er, since he's already like this, then spare him!" An Mi said softly. The body that was lying on the ground paused for a moment, then filled with hope. It seemed that An Mi wasn't entirely heartless towards him.

Even Yan Bing frowned. Should she spare him?

"Mi'er, have you forgotten that he wanted to kill you?" Yan Bing was also someone who would seek revenge. Getting dirty was just an excuse; what she wanted was for this old scoundrel to pay the price for plotting to kill An Mi.

Bai Yi's eyes, however, gleamed with a sinister light. Spare him? How could An Mi so easily spare him?

“I haven’t forgotten. After all, he kept saying he was my father. Although I’m not afraid of divine retribution, we are still father and daughter. I’ll just give him a chance.” An Mi looked down the cliff, her deep eyes revealing nothing of her thoughts.

An Yuefeng could not hide his excitement and looked at An Mi expectantly. "Yes, we are father and daughter after all. I will never have any ill intentions towards you in the future."

An Mi smiled faintly, it was impossible to tell whether she believed An Yuefeng's promise or disregarded it. Turning her gaze away from the cliff, An Mi mounted her horse and spoke again, her voice slightly lighter, "How about this, let him reflect on his mistakes here, and I can also think about how to deal with this so-called father."

Yan Bing still didn't understand An Mi's intentions, but since An Mi had given such an order, she could only go along with it. She glanced at Bai Yi, who had his usual smile. Yan Bing felt a little aggrieved. She walked up to An Yuefeng and kicked him, saying, "You got off easy. I told you to reflect on your mistakes, so you'd better reflect on them properly here."

After saying that, not satisfied, he kicked him a few more times. An Yuefeng just silently endured it. At this moment, all he could do was to bear it.

Yan Bing mounted the horse, but did not forget to instruct the second-in-command, "Keep a close eye on him and don't let him escape."

In her opinion, once An Mi had thought things through, she wouldn't let the old scoundrel off the hook. Besides, she also needed to go back and persuade An Mi properly, emphasizing that they absolutely couldn't let the tiger return to the mountain. With these thoughts in mind, Yan Bing rode away with An Mi on horseback.

Bai Yi naturally didn't stay any longer. However, the look he gave An Yuefeng before leaving sent chills down An Yuefeng's spine, as if he were being stared at by a demon.

As the night deepened, An Mi returned to her room. Along the way, Yan Bing kept urging her to kill An Yuefeng. She said that if An Mi couldn't do it herself, she would do it herself. However, An Mi just smiled faintly and insisted on giving An Yuefeng one night, just as she had said on the mountain.

Disappointed, Yan Bing returned to her room. Inside, An Mi, who had been lying down, suddenly got up and opened the door, only to bump into someone standing there.

"Ah!" An Mi was startled. There was no one in this mountain stronghold who would harm her, so she didn't have much of a guard up. However, when she saw who the man in front of her was, An Mi frowned slightly.

"What? Are you scared? What are you doing out so late?" Bai Yi walked past An Mi, strode into the room, and found a chair to sit down.

She was already used to Bai Yi's casualness in front of her, and she understood Bai Yi's personality quite well. For the time being, she couldn't leave. Thinking of the person on the mountain, An Mi frowned, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Seeing that An Mi did not answer, Bai Yi continued, "Are you going to send someone up the mountain?"

An Mi frowned. Yes, she did have that intention, but she didn't show anything unusual in front of Bai Yi. Bai Yi smiled and said, "Before I went down the mountain, I gave the second leader a piece of advice. I felt that it was a bit inappropriate to just have An Yuefeng kneel on the ground to reflect on his mistakes. After all, there's no one watching him while he reflects. What if he escapes? Besides, the second leader and the others are also human and naturally need to rest. Watching An Yuefeng so late at night is really boring. So, I suggested that he tie An Yuefeng up with a rope and hang him on the cliff. That way, the second leader and the others can leave, and An Yuefeng won't be able to escape."
