Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

Shi Wanxia filtered the salt essence through Shen Yanchu's handkerchief several times, which took nearly two hours, until the white salt essence finally began to solidify.

Shen Yanchu took a pinch and tasted it. The refined salt was slightly salty but not bitter. Shi Wanxia packed the salt into a salt bag and salt jar and placed it on the stove. Turning around, she saw Shen Yanchu with his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

"Brother Shen, what are you thinking about so intently?"

Shi Wanxia sat down beside him and added some firewood to the fire. Shen Yanchu turned his gaze to this capable girl; he hadn't expected her to actually extract salt. Besides this, could well salt and sea salt also be refined into fine salt?

Shen Yanchu's intense gaze made Shi Wanxia feel a little embarrassed. She blushed and lowered her head, avoiding his eyes. "Brother Shen, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"

Shen Yanchu realized his mistake upon hearing this, realizing how rude he had been, staring at the young lady for so long, which was no different from being a lecher.

He then apologized to her, "Miss Shi, I'm sorry, I was rude just now, I hope you won't take offense." Shi Wanxia waved her hand helplessly. Shen Yanchu ignored his disfigured face, his aura was humble and gentle, like a refined and noble young master from a noble family.

"Brother Shen, please don't be like this. I'm not used to your politeness. It's getting late, let's get some rest. Tomorrow we'll go pick some more Suaeda salsa to make salt."

Shi Wanxia was afraid that this person would stare at her strangely again, so she crawled into her sleeping bag to avoid the question.

Shen Yanchu smiled slightly. This girl is still the same... Oh well, she has really suffered today. Shen Yanchu lay down on the straw mat and took out a strange token with a tiger and a large traditional Chinese character on it.

Shen Yanchu examined the token for a while and then kept it close to his body. It seemed that when he got back, he would have to find someone to investigate what the person behind it was after and who was involved.

At dawn, the sunlight bathed the vast earth, bringing warmth and vitality to the world. Shen Yanchu and Shi Wanxia walked through the valley, preparing to begin their day's work. They had a clear division of labor: Shen Yanchu was in charge of hunting, while Shi Wanxia went to collect Suaeda salsa.

Shen Yanchu moved with agility, carrying a Swiss Army knife and a sharp dagger, his eyes scanning the surroundings sharply. He quietly entered the bushes, searching for traces of his prey.

A moment later, he spotted a hare. He focused his energy and slashed his dagger through the air, hitting its target precisely. The hare struggled a few times, then lay still.

Shen Yanchu picked up the rabbit rather unhappily, took off his dagger, and threw it around the area where Shi Wanxia was picking Suaeda salsa. After all, they had encountered a leopard yesterday, and who knew what other wild beasts they might encounter. Shen Yanchu did not plan to go far. This girl did not know martial arts, and if he was not there, she would not be able to protect herself if she encountered danger.

Meanwhile, Shi Wanxia was also busy on the grassland. Dressed in simple clothes and wearing a straw hat, she held a folding knife and carefully searched for suitable Suaeda salsa. Today, she planned to pick some of its leaves to make medicine, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying.

His gaze fell upon Shen Yanchu, and he moved with incredible speed, searching for prey in the dense forest. After all, he had only caught one wild rabbit that morning, which had somewhat dampened his confidence.

Shen Yanchu moved through the forest like a ghost, his lightness skill reaching perfection, his feet barely touching the ground, his clothes fluttering in the wind. His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, searching for prey in the woods.

Suddenly, a roe deer appeared in his line of sight. The roe deer was quietly eating, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

A flicker of excitement crossed Shen Yanchu's eyes. He stopped, took a deep breath, and channeled his inner energy into the small knife in his hand. In an instant, the knife seemed to come alive, gleaming with a cold light. With a flick of his wrist, Shen Yanchu sent the knife flying like lightning, tracing a graceful arc through the air.

A hundred meters away, the knife struck the roe deer's vital point with deadly accuracy. The deer didn't even have time to utter a cry before collapsing to the ground. Shen Yanchu had used his internal energy twice that day, leaving him utterly exhausted, and the toxins within his body showed signs of flaring up.

Shen Yanchu endured the onset of the poison within him, his forehead beaded with sweat and his face pale. He knew he could not afford to relax in the slightest; he had to suppress the poison as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

He had no time to deal with the prey. Instead, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his internal energy. His breathing gradually became steady, and a faint aura emanated from his body, as if he were waging a life-or-death battle against the poison.

After a while, Shen Yanchu felt that the poison had been suppressed to some extent, and his body felt a little more relaxed. He slowly opened his eyes, stood up, dragged his prey, and walked towards Shi Wanxia's direction.

Along the way, Shen Yanchu's steps were somewhat unsteady, but he still walked forward resolutely. He had only one thought in his mind: to find Shi Wanxia as soon as possible and hand over his prey to her.

Finally, Shen Yanchu spotted Shi Wanxia. He quickened his pace, walked to Shi Wanxia's side, showed her the prey, and then sat down wearily on the ground, panting heavily.

Seeing Shen Yanchu's appearance, Shi Wanxia was extremely worried. When she saw the roe deer he was dragging behind him, she gasped and covered her mouth in shock. This guy had only been gone for an hour or two, and he'd already hunted a roe deer! This man was truly amazing! So impressive.

Shi Wanxia straightened up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at Shen Yanchu, who was panting not far away, with a happy smile on her face.

"This guy is really amazing!" she couldn't help but exclaim softly.

Shi Wanxia looked down at the basket in her hand, which still contained some unpicked Suaeda salsa. She thought for a moment, then said to Shen Yanchu, "You should rest for a bit. I can handle the rest myself."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanchu looked up at her, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. He knew Shi Wanxia was a stubborn girl who didn't like others helping her, but he didn't want her to be too tired either.

"It's okay, I'm not tired," he said, then stood up and walked towards Shi Wanxia.

Looking into his determined eyes, Shi Wanxia felt a surge of emotion. She knew that Shen Yanchu was doing this for her own good and didn't want her to suffer alone.

“Okay, let’s finish picking them together,” she said, then bent down with Shen Yanchu to continue picking the Suaeda salsa.

In the following time, Shi Wanxia and Shen Yanchu worked together tacitly and quickly filled two baskets. Looking at the full harvest, Shi Wanxia was overjoyed. She reached out and helped Shen Yanchu up. This guy had been using his internal energy recklessly and could barely stand, yet he was still trying to be strong.

Shi Wanxia said with a helpless expression, "Brother Shen, you carry the basket and the rabbit. How about we just drag these to the riverbank to clean them before going back to the cave? I'm thinking of making this meat into jerky, which is convenient to preserve and carry, saving us energy."

Shen Yanchu thought about it and agreed that the girl's idea was good. After all, fresh and cured meat was indeed inconvenient to carry, but making it into jerky would not take up much space. He nodded and wanted to drag the roe deer along, but Shi Wanxia immediately stopped him and handed him two baskets of Suaeda salsa from the ground.

"Brother Shen, you've worked so hard. I can drag this roe deer, but you're still the more agile one. After all, you're also using poison. You used your internal energy twice today for hunting and haven't recovered yet. What if you encounter danger later and can't even run away? Isn't that right?"

Shen Yanchu was speechless, unable to reply. He had never been in such a sorry state in over twenty years, and was being cared for and protected by a woman. His face immediately darkened.

Shi Wanxia didn't care about him, after all, this roe deer weighed fifty or sixty pounds! She sighed deeply, thinking, "Life really is constantly whipping me!"

Shi Wanxia laboriously dragged the heavy roe deer, walking step by step towards the riverbank.

Her steps were unsteady, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Although Shen Yanchu did not carry much, he had also exhausted a lot of energy, and his head was also covered with fine sweat, and his steps were also unsteady.

Finally, they reached the riverbank and handed the roe deer to Shen Yanchu. Shen Yanchu took the roe deer and began to skillfully process it. His movements were clean and efficient, and he finished processing the roe deer in no time.

Shi Wanxia searched for wild vegetables and fruits by the river. She bent down, carefully searching every inch of the land. Her eyes keenly caught any sign of green, not letting go of any possible source of food.

Before long, she found some wild vegetables and fruits. She carefully picked them and put them in her basket. A satisfied smile appeared on her face. Although there weren't many wild vegetables and fruits, it was better than nothing.

She skipped back to the riverbank, basket in hand, and began washing. Shen Yanchu shook his head and smiled wryly at her behavior; this girl's temperament was no different from a child's. What young lady from a noble family would walk like this?
