There was nothing in the room. The other men had already found places to rest against the wall. Ling Silang was standing in the middle, and only when he saw Du Mingxian come in did he show a slight smile.

The two looked around and found the darkest corner. They huddled together and both looked outside.

Ling Silang asked anxiously in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay, how about you?"

"It's alright, it's just that the carriage is small..." When he got in, there was no place to sit, so he sat directly on... the legs of several men.

My wife definitely can't know about this.

Du Mingxian didn't ask any more questions. She looked at the doorway and saw the youngest girl drink some water, then walk in shakily, glance at the room, and collapse.

Du Mingxian was a little anxious and got up to check on the other person's condition. Just then, she saw someone walk in through the door, check the other person's breath, and say with displeasure, "What bad luck, dead."

Du Mingxian noticed that the girl's complexion was abnormal; it was the ashen white that only the dead have.

Ling Silang stood up and gently nudged Du Mingxian with his shoulder, "Please sit down."

Du Mingxian could only sit down, but the anger in her heart was rising steadily.

Soon everyone came in, including three men, each carrying several sections of rope. They went up and tied the men's feet together, to prevent them from running away.

Du Mingxian and Ling Silang were quite cooperative, but... the man who tied up Du Mingxian was the one who fed her water. He hadn't been very good at looking at Du Mingxian before, and took the opportunity to touch Du Mingxian's calf.

Ling Silang saw it; his gaze could kill.

The man also felt Ling Silang's gaze and was very disgusted. He even kicked Ling Silang's shoulder and said, "What are you looking at? You don't like it?"

Ling Silang didn't speak, but silently lowered his head.

Du Mingxian's eyes were calm, but a murderous intent surged within her.

Several men left quickly, and the door was closed.

The room was already dark, with only a small window. Once the door was closed, the room became even darker. For a moment, the only sound in the room was breathing; no one spoke.

Du Mingxian had already untied her own hands. She secretly and gently pulled Ling Silang's hand. Ling Silang turned his back, and Du Mingxian untied his hands as well.

In the darkness, the two quietly untied the ropes binding their legs. Du Mingxian was disgusted by the man's earlier touching of her legs and decided to kill him that night.

As the night grew quieter, perhaps because they were in a hurry, the six men who had escorted them did not drink any alcohol. The owner of the courtyard arranged dinner for them, and after dinner, everyone slowly fell asleep.

Because the night was very dark and quiet, Du Mingxian could hear the snoring coming from next door. Their room was even darker, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Du Mingxian gently grabbed Ling Silang and brought him directly into the space.

From absolute darkness to sudden light, Du Mingxian closed her eyes uncomfortably. When she opened them again, she met Ling Silang's complicated gaze.

Neither of them spoke, nor did they wash up. Du Mingxian took out the food she had bought earlier, which was still warm. After they ate a simple meal, they sat outside to discuss their plans.

“The people who captured us are not simple.” The reason why Du Mingxian did not make a move was firstly because… among the beggars, she sensed that one person was very powerful, and there were many of them.

She could fight one-on-one, but with Ling Silang around, she couldn't protect him and didn't dare to take the risk.

It wasn't that I hadn't considered entering the space, but I figured there was still plenty of time before I got to the capital, so I could take my time and wasn't in a rush. I could just follow the beggar first and then find a chance to slip away later.

Ling Silang knew Du Mingxian's abilities, "You leave quietly by yourself, I'm staying behind."

Just because that man dared to touch Du Mingxian's leg, he wanted to get revenge. There were so many lives out there, and this was only what they had seen.

“No, I’ll go alone. It’s dangerous for you to stay behind. They know we were captured together.” Du Mingxian was unwilling to leave first. “Besides, I have a spatial ability. It’s also beneficial for you if I stay.”

"I want to find out who they are."

"Then let's investigate together."

Ling Silang frowned. "This matter is definitely very dangerous."

"What's there to be afraid of in danger? Aren't we here to gain experience?" Du Mingxian thought to herself, what dangers hadn't she experienced in her previous life?

Left with no other choice, Ling Silang could only sigh, "Alright, then we'll stay."

"They're capturing both men and women; they're obviously not good people. I noticed that everyone in the carriage, whether male or female, is very good-looking."

Ling Silang also noticed this. "Let's see how it goes. If it really doesn't work, we'll escape first and then think of a solution."

Du Mingxian shook her head, "No need, we can be disfigured."

"what?"

"We'll disfigure you first, then restore you with the spiritual water. We have a way."

Ling Silang chuckled, "After we leave here today, neither of us can come back in."

Du Mingxian also understood this principle. "I'll prepare some dried meat so we can take it out when it's inconvenient for us."

"it is good."

After discussing it, the two started making jerky and worked until almost four o'clock. They then rested in the space for an hour before quietly leaving.

It was still dark outside. Before they came out, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang tied the rope, leaned against the wall, and fell into a deep sleep with their heads tilted together.

As dawn broke, Du Mingxian took a special look at the people in the room. Just like she had seen them yesterday, they were all very good-looking, especially the men, who were like pretty boys.

Ling Silang also saw it, and Du Mingxian whispered to him, "It must be that our appearance matches the person they are looking for."

"Ah."

"I'm fine, but you're in danger."

"Don't worry, if all else fails, just do as you said and disfigure yourself first."

"it is good."

The two of them agreed on what to do and then waited.

A short while later, two people came in and dragged the two girls from the carriage away, their expressions blank. Du Mingxian saw the terror in their eyes as they left.

Soon she heard commotion from next door. Du Mingxian was furious. She raised her hand to untie the rope and rush out to see what was going on.

"Don't be impulsive." Ling Silang pulled her back. "If you rush out, you must ensure that they all die."

"That's fine too." Yesterday she thought she had plenty of time to play, but after seeing the crimes these people committed, she didn't want to take her time anymore.

Just then, another person pushed the door open and stared directly at Du Mingxian. The two people stepped forward and tried to pull Du Mingxian away.

Du Mingxian had been waiting for them out of anger. When she saw the two of them coming, she quickly stepped forward and slit their throats.

Blood splattered instantly, and as the two fell to the ground, Du Mingxian reached out to support them, preventing them from crashing down.

Seeing this, Ling Silang became anxious and said, "Quickly untie me."
