Qiao Wanwan's eyes were clear and bright.

Next second,

However, the words spoken by the maidservant dealt her a severe blow.

"It can take anywhere from half a month to a month."

"Wow!!! This is considered fast?"

Two more weeks,

Her ashes were gone in half a month.

It seems there's no hope for her, and the maidservant beside me is also unreliable.

"... "

She needs to come up with a plan quickly.

Qiao Wanwan leaned weakly against the railing in the corridor, looking at the empty courtyard in front of her.

When she first came here

I had already observed the surrounding situation.

The best escape route is to go through the yard.

I ran to the small door across the street and sneaked out.

That way, you can gain freedom.

Okay, it's decided then.

Qiao Wanwan immediately perked up and was about to leave.

The maidservant followed closely behind, her footsteps making a "tap-tap" sound.

"... "

She looked back and saw the little maid Chunxia smiling broadly.

"Could you...stop following me?"

“Miss, how can this be? It’s dangerous to be out in the world. I am your servant, so of course I must follow you at all times and protect your safety with my life.”

"No, I just need to go to the outhouse."

"Oh, so this is the outhouse, Miss. I'll just wait obediently at the door."

"Forehead……"

Qiao Wanwan was speechless.

Even going to the toilet means being watched?

Isn't that overprotective?

How can she escape?

No!

Want to escape

First, you must send away the maidservants around you.

An hour or two passed quickly.

The sky gradually darkened.

There were no lights in the town except for the red lanterns around the inn, which provided a faint glow.

The woman in the room sat in front of the dressing table, looking at Chunxia behind the mirror as she carefully tidied the bed.

Her eyes lit up, and she had a brilliant idea.

Pretending to stroke her belly, she called to her maid:

"Spring and summer, I'm a little hungry now."

Could you go downstairs and bring me some food?

"Yes, Miss. Chunxia will go right away."

"Ah."

The young maidservant was quick and efficient, and left the room.

With a bang, the door slammed shut, and then silence fell.

Qiao Wanwan snapped her fingers happily.

"Great, now I can finally sneak away."

Her first escape plan officially began.

Quickly follow your memory of watching spring and summer put away money pouches.

I ran to the cabinet and excitedly opened it.

He took out a package containing gold and silver notes.

Qiao Wanwan weighed it up and down a few times.

The gold inside made a "clanging" sound as it collided with each other.

"Haha! I'm rich now."

Her happy lips almost curled up to her ears.

The thought of leaving the male lead, that vampire, and the perverted villain...

With this money, you could go out and live a good life for the rest of your days.

Qiao Wanwan had already put the song "Good Days" on her mind.

...

There was a "crunch".

The door was opened a crack.

A woman wearing a pale yellow dress peeked out from the gap.

Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes peeked outwards furtively.

After carefully observing his surroundings and confirming that no one was around, he boldly pushed open the door and went out.

He also made sure to close the door properly.

A heavy package was slung across the girl's body, giving her a great sense of security.

"Run away!"

In the darkness, a nimble and petite figure walks down the corridor.

With a "whoosh," it hid behind a wooden stake and quickly disappeared.

Along the way, Qiao Wanwan looked left and right.

She was afraid that someone would discover her whereabouts.

We finally made it through the ordeal.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the back door of the inn.

Victory is within reach!

With a creak, the back door opened gently.

He secretly ran out and looked at the streets and alleys of the town in front of him.

There was complete silence, eerily quiet.

Only two red lanterns hung at the entrance of the inn behind them.

Everywhere else was pitch black.

It's like people going to bed early.

Qiao Wanwan was internally complaining:

It's only just gotten dark!

Does this town have absolutely no nightlife?

That's terrifying.

She had to leave carefully, without making any noise.

Qiao Wanwan lifted her skirt, tiptoed, and quietly left the inn through the back door.

What she doesn't know is,

In a room on the second floor near the back door, lived a familiar person.

This is Xie Ze's room.

At this moment, Xie Ze and Gu Chaomu were playing chess on the couch by the window in the room.

With his well-defined fingers holding up the candlelight by the window, he picked up a white chess piece and placed it down.

There was a "click" sound,

The outcome, whether life or death, was already predetermined.

Black was immediately surrounded and killed by White.

The man opposite him was slightly taken aback at first.

I wasn't angry about the failure.

Instead, his eyes were full of admiration, and he laughed heartily.

"Young Master Xie's chess skills are beyond my reach, I humbly admit defeat."

The man opposite felt a surge of joy upon hearing Gu Chaomu's praise.

A slight ripple stirred deep within those beautiful peach blossom eyes.

His handsome face also had a faint blush.

"Young Master Gu, you flatter me. My chess skills are only superficial. If Young Master Gu hadn't deliberately gone easy on me, I wouldn't have been able to win this battle."

"Hahaha."

"It seems we get along quite well, and we'll definitely be even more in sync as we travel together from here on out."

"hope so."

Xie Ze's strange gaze lingered on the other person's face for a long time, unable to leave.

There seemed to be a hint of emotion in her eyes?

Like the kind of love some women have for men?

Gu Chaomu got goosebumps.

Being stared at by him always felt like being the prey caught in some strange trap.

It made him feel physically uncomfortable.

He looked out the window awkwardly and saw a familiar, furtive figure downstairs at the inn.

"Wanwan!!"

"... "

Xie Ze, sitting opposite, followed the man's gaze.

I actually saw that eyesore woman—Qiao Wanwan.

Gu Chaomu watched as she disappeared from his sight alone, without Chunxia by her side.

With some doubts.

He immediately stood up and apologized to Xie Ze opposite him:

"Brother Xie, I'm so glad you told me so much today. We can talk about our future plans later. Wanwan seems to have something to attend to, so I'll have to leave now."

"it is good."

With a loud clang.

Xie Ze was left alone in the room, staring at the woman downstairs with a gloomy expression.

It carried a hint of hostility.

"It's her again."

Why do they keep appearing in front of them? What kind of conspiracy is they plotting?

Or is she seducing Gu Chaomu?

The fingers, with their distinct knuckles, gripped the white chess piece tightly.

There was a "bang" sound.

The white chess piece shattered into dust in an instant.

The man released his fingers, and the white powder fell onto the table. A gentle breeze from outside the window blew it away, and it vanished instantly.

The man showed no regret; his pale lips parted slightly:

"Uncle Zhong Shi".

Suddenly, a person darted into the previously empty room through the window.

"My subordinate is here."

"How's the investigation going with that woman?"

Zhong Shi slightly raised his eyes to look over.

The young master, with his long, flowing black hair, leaned against the window, his hand slightly supporting his chin.

The moon's soft, white light shone through the window, illuminating half of the young master's face, making him exceptionally handsome.

But it was originally a very beautiful scene.

But at this moment,

Because of the master's dangerous aura, he seemed incredibly terrifying.

Especially those obsidian-like eyes, fixed intently on the ground floor, gleamed with a faint, cold light.

Zhong Shi could also guess the young master's mood at this moment.

He clasped his left hand in a fist and advised:

"Young master, that woman should not be touched for the time being."

Those cold eyes, slightly curious, looked back.

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

Zhong Shi looked at his master's eyes, which were gleaming with a bluish light, and was somewhat afraid that the young master would get angry.

Zhong Shi has been by the young master's side for more than ten years.

Five years ago, the young master was rescued by Gu Chaomu.

He sensed that the young master had a different kind of feeling towards Gu Chaomu.

Like liking?

Or is it like possession?

Because of the master, the young master had some personality issues from a young age.

Therefore, he couldn't fathom the young master's temperament.

However, the young master has a certain personality trait.

It means that what I like will never be defiled by others, and if it doesn't belong to me, I will get rid of it.

It's the same for both people and pets.

In the young master's eyes, they were all playthings that he could kill at will.

However, the young hero Gu they encountered this time was quite peculiar.

It is the prey that the young master is interested in, and the one that has the longest survival time.

he knows,

The young master did not like his prey being taken by others.

They will definitely try every means to get rid of everyone around him.

To outsiders, Xie Ze was nothing short of a demon.

Even Uncle Zhong, who was in his thirties, couldn't help but swallow hard.

He explained properly to the young master:

"She is the only daughter of the leader of the martial arts alliance. If anything happens to her, the leader of the martial arts alliance will definitely not let us off the hook."

Furthermore, Young Master Gu also desires the position of the new martial arts alliance leader, so that young lady is still of use to him.

"So she's the good-for-nothing, willful and capricious daughter of the martial arts alliance leader?"

No wonder. Gu Chaomu was so patient in keeping her by his side.

As the man spoke, he took out another black chess piece.

Staring at the chess piece, he muttered to himself:

"Considering that she is still useful to Gu Chaomu, let's leave her alone for now."

After I've made Gu Chaomu the leader of the martial arts alliance, I'll skin her alive..."

The man raised his finger to the small black chess piece, and following the cold, pale moonlight, slowly moved it to the deserted area downstairs.

The location where that woman just appeared.

Their eyes were filled with cruel ruthlessness.

"It's not too late."

...

The woman who had fled into the distance felt uneasy.

It felt like there was a gaze watching me from all around.

However, she looked around but found no living people.

Qiao Wanwan comforted herself in her heart:

I must be overthinking it.

Get out of this wretched place quickly, take my money, and fly far away.

Oh yeah!

She tugged at her bundle and headed straight for a corner.

A dark figure suddenly appeared at the corner.

Before Qiao Wanwan could react, her entire face collided with it.

With a "thud",

Accompanied by a woman's cry of "Ouch!"

The woman, who had been running away, was suddenly knocked to the ground by a wall that appeared out of nowhere.

"Ouch!"

The woman, clutching the package in her arms, was knocked flat on her back by the impact.

He was muttering curses under his breath:

"Damn it! How come there's a wall here?"

Qiao Wanwan stood up, her head still spinning, her vision still blurry.

But then I heard a terrifying sound.

"Wanwan~"
