In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

Chunxia asked her cautiously.

"Miss, are you hungry? Should I go get someone to get you something to eat?"

To be honest, Qiao Wanwan is also quite concerned about saving face.

She was too embarrassed to bring it up.

Fortunately, Chunxia was there to help her with the task.

"Okay, go ask."

"Ok"

She suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to Chunxia.

"Hey! Wait a minute."

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Qiao Wanwan glanced behind her secretly, then leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"Don't let Gu Chaomu find out, or I'll lose face."

"Don't worry, Miss, I won't let Young Master Gu know."

Only after Chunxia reassured her did Qiao Wanwan feel relieved enough to let her leave.

Watching Chunxia leave.

Qiao Wanwan was the only one enjoying the campfire here.

Add firewood every now and then to keep the fire burning brightly.

The woman's stomach continued to rumble.

She clutched her stomach and sighed.

"Hey!"

"It's all the male lead's fault. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be starving."

“It’s really infuriating.”

She took a long branch and flicked it twice into the fire.

Even the tiny sparks in the darkness scattered and flew out.

Like fireflies floating in the air.

Suddenly, a mature male voice came from behind Qiao Wanwan.

"Stop shaking it, you'll get the fire on your face."

"?"

The woman turned around and saw that it was the middle-aged swordsman hired by Zhou Xinyue.

He didn't have much of a presence in the team.

"... "

For a moment, Qiao Wanwan didn't know what to say to him.

The two of them were complete strangers.

Perhaps it was just a joke, or perhaps it was just her behavior that was being made fun of.

So she didn't reply, but simply stopped what she was doing.

The man behind her walked over to her and sat down next to her as if they were sitting in the right place.

He put down the bamboo hat he was wearing.

This prompted Qiao Wanwan to secretly glance at the man beside her out of curiosity.

I didn't realize it until I looked at it, and I was shocked.

The man's face, like his hands, was covered in scars.

It had a fierce and menacing appearance.

Those two thick eyebrows looked at her as she slightly raised them.

He unconsciously tugged at the scar that ran from his eye down to the corner of his mouth.

It almost scared Qiao Wanwan to death.

Her heart pounded with fear, and she turned away from the terrifying middle-aged man.

"... "

The man looked at the coward and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, little girl. You don't even dare to look at me? You're usually quite bold when you're around, aren't you?"

Huh?

Hearing the man's words, Qiao Wanwan felt a little confused.

The man spoke to her without seeming as serious as his face suggested.

Qiao Wanwan then slowly turned around to look at him.

The middle-aged man grinned broadly, revealing his teeth.

It was completely at odds with his terrifying appearance.

He seems like a very easy-going older man.

Gradually, Qiao Wanwan stopped finding him scary.

"GuluGulu~"

A growl from her stomach reminded Qiao Wanwan that it was time to eat.

Unfortunately, she had nothing to eat.

Are there other people ahead of us?

How embarrassing!!

The woman awkwardly clutched her shrunken stomach and chuckled.

The middle-aged man next to her seemed amused, and the corners of his lips curved into a smile.

Without saying a word, he took a steamed bun from his pocket and threw it over.

Qiao Wanwan instinctively caught the steamed bun he threw to her.

The middle-aged man, not wanting to offend Qiao Wanwan, said with slight displeasure:

"Look how thin and small you are, how can you not eat?"

The woman held the clean steamed bun, and Qiao Wanwan was deeply moved.

"Thank you."

"Um... what should I call you?"

"My name is Su Xu, and I'm just a wandering swordsman who picked up a job along the way. You can call me Uncle Xu, since I'm a junior."

"Huh? Isn't your surname Su? Why don't you call me Uncle Su?"

"Haha, this name doesn't sound good. What kind of uncle is it?"

Just call me Uncle Xu. Both names are my parents' surnames; I can have either Su or Xu.

Besides, it's easier to call me Uncle Xu, isn't it?

"Oh, I see. Thank you, Uncle Xu."

Qiao Wanwan felt that this chivalrous man was truly kind-hearted.

It really felt like the care and concern an elder showed her.

Su Xu felt happy when he saw the little girl smile.

Originally, he was just thinking of taking on a job.

Perhaps by sending the employer to Biluo Manor, he could then go and find Qiao Qingfeng.

did not expect,

On this journey, they unexpectedly encountered Qiao Qingfeng's daughter, Qiao Wanwan.

God help me too.

My brother, whom I haven't seen in a long time, has long since become the leader of the martial arts alliance.

And now they have such a beautiful daughter.

For years, he had been hiding from the Dark Pavilion's pursuit.

He lived in anonymity for twenty years.

His face has aged, and he is no longer the handsome young man he once was.

Only then did I dare to venture out into the world and roam freely.

Hey!

Su Xu looked at the adorable "niece" in front of her and happily ate her steamed bun.

Everyone was sighing inwardly.

Time flies and never returns.

In the end, he did see his sworn brothers again.

It seems that along the way,

While protecting his employer, he also had to secretly protect the younger generation in front of him.

Otherwise, how could he face Qiao Qingfeng?

No, it should be the current Alliance Leader Qiao.

Qiao Wanwan was absolutely starving.

She devoured the steamed bun with relish, finishing off the large one in no time.

Uncle Xu, who was standing next to her, also readily handed her a second steamed bun.

He urged her:

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, how can you finish just one steamed bun?"

You're too thin. To survive in the martial world, you need to be stronger.

"?"

Qiao Wanwan didn't quite understand what he meant.

He asked in confusion:

"But I don't need to establish myself in the martial arts world."

Besides, I don't know any martial arts; I just need to go home and be a pampered young lady.

"!!"

The middle-aged man paused for a moment.

Looking into the woman's innocent eyes, he finally understood what was going on.

No wonder!

It's unclear what kind of internal strength she possesses; it turns out Qiao Qingfeng never taught her martial arts.

He burst into laughter immediately, agreeing:

"Your current thinking is correct; it's time to go home."

Never go out with just anyone again.

This world of martial arts is not easy to navigate; one wrong step and someone could lose their life.

"Yes, I understand."

Qiao Wanwan didn't know how the other party discovered that she had run away with someone else.

But being single-minded, she didn't harbor any doubts about this elder.

Her intuition told her that this person wasn't a bad person.

They were all silently cursing the original owner in their hearts:

The original owner was truly ungrateful, insisting on running away with that Gu Chaomu.

Okay, now I've suffered all the injustices.

We have to follow the plot and follow him around.

This is so unfair!

"That's all I have to say, Uncle Xu. Your little maid is coming back soon. I'll be going now."

"Okay, thank you so much, Uncle Xu."

I am so grateful to him for his timely help.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly at her and then disappeared from her sight in a flash.

disappeared.

It was as if everything that had just happened was a dream.

But Qiao Wanwan felt a warm, full feeling inside her abdomen.

Then I knew that all of this was not a dream, but something that actually happened.

Spring and summer, who were behind her, also rushed back with a small portion of dry food.

He ran to Qiao Wanwan's side and handed it to her.

He whispered:

"Miss, this is some dry food I got from the guards of the Xie family's young master."

Although it's a small amount, it's enough to fill your stomach.

"You eat first. Later in the spring and summer, I'll go see if there's a river nearby, catch some fish, and grill them for you."

"... "

Qiao Wanwan looked at the dry food in her hand, which was no bigger than a steamed bun.

I couldn't help but feel a slight soreness in my nose.

Why did they end up like this?
