Seeing that Qiao Ran was awake, Chen Jiu blushed and was about to get up, but unexpectedly a force pressed him down quickly. He tried to dodge, but still managed to kiss Qiao Ran's tender cheek with a "smack".

Something seemed to explode in Chen Jiu's mind.

Qiao Ran grinned nonchalantly, "Just kiss me if you want. It's not like I'm stopping you. Don't be so coy."

Chen Jiu: "..."

Qiao Ran laughed a few times. Although she did it on purpose, the sudden intimacy with Chen Jiu made her feel hot, especially the place where Chen Jiu's lips touched her, which felt burning hot.

"Joe, Joe."

"Huh?" Qiao Ran looked directly at Chen Jiu with a grin, full of confidence.

Chen Jiu's eyes were dark and unfathomable, staring straight at Qiao Ran, who inexplicably shivered.

"Are you angry?"

Chen Jiu seemed to be enduring something with great effort. The silly girl in front of him thought she had gotten the better deal and was laughing happily. Little did she know that after sleeping all night, her messy sleeping posture had already caused the buttons of her inner garment to come undone, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.

Chen Jiu had lived a life of abstinence for many years, how could he bear this scene?

He finally closed his eyes and regained his composure, then lowered his head and kissed Qiao Ran's forehead with restraint. "Get up."

Qiao Ran: "Oh."

When she sat up, Chen Jiu had already gotten out of bed and was dressed.

Qiao Ran was in a very good mood. She hummed a little tune as she put on her shoes. Just as she was about to put on her coat, she looked down and found that her chest was open. It was simply... an insult to her civility.

"List!"

Qiao Ran blushed and was about to ask further when she saw Chen Jiu push open the door and leave with a grin.

Qiao Ran: "..."

That’s all!

The man is hers too; she'll get her revenge sooner or later.

After resting for a morning and eating their fill, the group found the dry rations at the shady shop ridiculously expensive, and the jerky both unpalatable and pricey. Ge Qingqing argued with the shop assistant in the lobby.

"How dare you sell something so awful for such a high price? Why don't you just rob us?"

The shop assistant mustered his courage and retorted, "If you think it tastes bad, you don't have to buy it. It's all in the middle of nowhere. Do you know how hard it is for us to go to town to get our supplies? It's not like we're forcing you to eat it."

"You think you're right to run a shady business? Believe me or not, I'll report you to the authorities!"

The waiter angrily retorted, "Go ahead and report it! Go report it right now!"

Ge Qingqing: "You just wait!"

Finally, Cheng Kaiji called out to Ge Qingqing, which ended the argument.

Qiao Ran asked for several jugs of water. She ran into a boy fetching water, who glanced at her but ignored her and walked past her.

Qiao Ran frowned slightly.

What a coincidence.

The boy was someone she bought a sacred herb turtle for seven thousand taels of silver from the Qingzhou black market, and then stole it.

If I remember correctly, the brothel was deserted last night. When they came in, there was a person sitting at a table in the corner of the lobby, completely drunk, and he looked... very sad.

It must have been because he was so distraught after discovering that the money had been stolen.

Did Qiao Ran feel even a tiny bit guilty? Of course not!

There are no good people who can charge exorbitant prices on the black market.

Qiao Ran covered her face that night, so the boy did not recognize her.

Not only Qiao Ran, but Cheng Kaiji and Wu Yang should have recognized her as well. Cheng Kaiji even leaned over and whispered, "Qiao Qiao, it's that Sacred Grass Turtle from the black market."

Qiao Ran glanced at it and said, "Oh, I don't know him."

Cheng Kaiji was stunned. When did Qiao Qiao's memory become so bad?

Seeing that Qiao Ran ignored them, they pretended not to know her, packed up, and set off.

After walking for a while, Cheng Kaiji caught up and knocked on the carriage. Qiao Ran got out of the carriage to take a look.

Cheng Kaiji said, "That kid has been following us the whole time."

Qiao Ran turned around and saw that the boy was not riding a horse, but following behind them on his own two legs at a distance.

"They won't recognize you, will they?"

Qiao Ran: "I haven't done anything wrong, so what if they recognize me?"

Cheng Kaiji rolled his eyes. "Don't think I didn't see it. The stack of silver notes you pulled out of your pocket yesterday was clearly the seven thousand taels for the sacred grass turtle. Who would buy something, pay for it, and then steal it back?"

Seriously, shameless.

Qiao Ran was open and honest. That night, they officially entered the territory of Qing'ai Pass. The surrounding area was full of broken walls and ruins, but because there were stone mountains under the sand, the high passes on both sides blocked the wind and sand to the greatest extent.

“The road is difficult to travel at night,” Xie Laoshi dismounted. “Miss, let’s rest for a while and have something to eat.”

"Mm." Qiao Ran nodded.

Qiao Ran didn't let Chen Jiu get out of the car. She boiled some water and brought it inside, and heated up some of the snacks she had brought before leaving.

"Can you still hold on?" Qiao Ran was still a little worried about Chen Jiu's health.

Chen Jiu ate a bite of pastry and drank some hot water. "I'm fine, I can manage."

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "I asked the scouts, and there are quite a few scenic spots along the way. There is a spring sixty miles away that nourishes a poplar forest. At our speed, we will arrive by noon the day after tomorrow."

Autumn arrives early in Qingzhou, especially along the border, where the poplar forests turn golden, as if bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

Qiao Ran was thinking that she could rest there for an afternoon the day after tomorrow.

“I’ve never heard of that before,” Chen Jiu said, clearly intrigued. “I’ve never traveled that far.”

Qiao Ran knew.

Aside from Kyoto, the only place Chen Jiu spent an extended period of time was Sichuan.

“Then let’s treat this as a trip,” Qiao Ran said. “With me by your side, it’s like a honeymoon.”

Chen Jiu: "Honeymoon?"

Qiao Ran thought for a moment: "It's something that only two people who love each other can do together."

Chen Jiu raised his lips slightly, "Something that only Qiao Qiao and I can do?"

"Ah."

Chen Jiu suddenly lowered her head, pushed open the car window and looked out into the darkness, "Qiao Qiao, you're so kind."

Qiao Ran shamelessly replied, "I know."

Chen Jiu laughed out loud.

Qiao Ran closed the car window, spread a blanket for Chen Jiu, and said gently, "Sleep if you're sleepy. There's a heater in the car."

Chen Jiu fell asleep, but they still had to continue their journey. However, there were several carriages behind them, and since Old Qu couldn't ride a horse, everyone had to take turns resting.

An hour later, the convoy slowly made its way deeper into the canyon.

Qiao Ran stopped his horse and said to Xie Laoshi, "You go first."

Jie Laoshi: "Miss, do you want to kill that boy following behind?"

I've been following them all the way.

Qiao Ran looked at him with a puzzled expression. "He was walking quietly, why would I kill him?"

That's really brutal.

Don't corrupt her son, Jinzhou.

Xie Laoshi: "...Isn't that right?"

Qiao Ran rode back. When the boy heard the sound of hooves, he instinctively tried to run away, but his two legs were no match for four. Qiao Ran picked him up.

Qiao Ran half-hung him on the horse and followed the caravan.

The boy was badly hurt by Qiao Ran's fall, and large tears streamed down his face.

Qiao Ran: "..."

"Speak! What are you doing following us?" Qiao Ran dismounted, placed her sword against the boy's neck without a word, and threatened, "Tell the truth or I'll kill you!"

The boy burst into even louder sobs.

Xie Laoshi said in a low voice, "Isn't it just about killing people? If you had said so earlier, I would have killed them already."

Cheng Kaiji felt a chill run down his spine; they were all too ruthless!

The boy cried and pleaded, "Uncle-Master... save me... I promise I'll listen to you and never sneak out again, waah!!"

Qiao Ran: "Shut up! I'll kill you if you cry again."
