Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

When Fu Ju rushed to the scene in a panic, he saw that the once brilliant trajectory of the signal flare in the sky had quietly disappeared with the breeze, as if it had never existed.

Looking around, the ground was filled with the thick smell of gunpowder, making people wrinkle their noses and cover their eyes.

Everywhere there were traces of the explosion, and the ground was littered with the remains of the Chijun soldiers, a horrifying sight.

Judging from the remaining traces, this army should be a convoy transporting provisions to the army that was attacking Huaizhou City.

Despite the devastation left by the explosion, not a single grain of food could be found on the ground.

Fu Ju frowned, thinking to himself: It seems that it was Miss Fang who did this.

But looking around, Fang Yu was nowhere to be seen.

Just as Fu Ju decided to search for Fang Yu's whereabouts in this ruin, a deafening clatter of hooves came rolling in from the side.

Presumably, it was the Chi Army that rushed to provide support after seeing the signal flare.

Left with no other choice, Fu Ju quickly found a secluded place to observe the situation before making a decision.

Fang Yu did not return directly to the inn after leaving.

Instead, she hurried along and arrived at a courtyard that seemed to be filled with deathly silence.

This courtyard was not a place she stumbled upon by chance. After making some simple inquiries, she learned that the girls she had met in the carriages when she entered the city had all been sent here.

Fang Yu also learned that all these girls would be sent to the Young Master's residence later.

And this so-called young lord is none other than Xin Fujinyan, who yesterday was arrogant and clamoring for surrender outside Huaizhou City.

Having only been in the city for half a day, Fang Yu had already heard many "glorious deeds" about this young lord.

The most crucial and important point is that once these girls are sent to the Young Master's residence tonight, it will be like stepping into the underworld, with no chance of return.

If these women all went to the young master's residence willingly, then Fang Yu would naturally not meddle in this matter.

However, the truth is that they were all forcibly abducted, and they were girls from other countries.

For this reason, Fang Yu could not stand idly by and decided to intervene.

The security in the courtyard was not very tight.

After all, everyone in the Chi Kingdom knows that this place is the young lord's territory, and no one dares to run wild here.

Fang Yu nimbly scaled the walls and rooftops, quickly ascending to the top.

She carefully crouched on the roof, observing the situation in the entire courtyard.

In the vast courtyard, there were only a few guards patrolling back and forth, while the rest were mostly busy maids and servants.

After confirming the surrounding environment, Fang Yu leaped and silently floated down from the roof to the courtyard.

They moved cautiously around the courtyard.

Just as he hid behind a rockery, he suddenly heard two maids talking in hushed tones nearby.

"Those girls who were captured are so pitiful! I hear they're going to be sent to the young master's residence tonight..."

The man stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, replaced by repeated shaking of his head and heavy sighs.

Seeing this, another maid hurriedly chimed in, "Perhaps. I seem to have heard that the young master is seriously injured. In that case, even if these girls are sent to the manor, given the young master's current physical condition, he may not be able to help. Maybe these girls can prolong their lives for a few more days because of this."

When Fang Yu heard these words, she felt as if the maid's tone made it seem as if living a few more days was some kind of extremely rare blessing.

Following the direction the two maids had gone, Fang Yu finally found the room where the girls were being held.

After the patrolmen had gone far away, she put on a face mask and then nimbly climbed in through the window.

Inside the room, several girls were huddled together, huddling together for warmth. When they caught sight of Fang Yu's sudden intrusion, they were filled with fear, but they all forced themselves to remain silent.

They all curled up, their backs pressed tightly together, as if this would alleviate some of their fear.

"Shh!"

Fang Yu quickly put her index finger to her lips, gesturing for the girls in front of her to be quiet, and whispered, "Don't make a sound, I'm here to save you."

The moment the words left her lips, the girl closest to Fang Yu suddenly knelt down, clutching her skirt tightly with both hands, and pleaded desperately, "Please, kill me...please..."

As she spoke, the girl's voice grew weaker and weaker, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment, and her whole body trembled violently as if being sieved.

Before Fang Yu could even speak, the other girls all knelt down in unison, pleading, "Please kill us, please!"

Seeing this, Fang Yu frowned, his heart filled with doubt.

She quickly reached out and pulled one of the girls up, her voice unconsciously quickening: "What is the reason for all of this? Isn't it good to be alive? Why are you all so eager to die?"

The girl who was pulled up burst into tears instantly, crying uncontrollably and heartbroken.

Her whole body twitched slightly from extreme grief and helplessness, as if all her pain was erupting at this moment.

"We don't want to die either, but once we enter that young master's mansion, it's better to end our lives than to suffer inhuman torture and be worse off than to let that beast get away with it!"

Fang Yu used a handkerchief to wipe away the girl's tears and comforted her, "I'm here to save you, don't worry."

The group shook their heads in unison: "Miss, you should leave. We can't fight against the young lord, nor can we fight against the Chi Kingdom. We have no choice but to die."

So that's what they were worried about. Fang Yu reached out and took the teapot, then poured a packet of medicine powder into it in front of them.

She even lifted the pot and shook it to mix it, then poured a cup for each person. She deliberately smiled and said, "Since you all want to die, I'll go all the way. This is highly poisonous; anyone who drinks it will surely die."

As soon as she finished speaking, those people didn't even have a moment to think before they eagerly grabbed the teacups beside them and drank them down in one gulp.

"..." Seeing this scene, Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Perhaps because she had never actually met Xin Fujinyan, she simply couldn't understand why these women were so terrified, to the point of behaving so dramatically.

Before coming here, Fang Yu had been thinking about how to take these girls away from here without them noticing.

She was afraid that these girls might have doubts about her and wouldn't believe her easily, so she pondered for a moment longer.

But at this moment, everything becomes simple.

After the girls drank the tea that she had laced with sleeping pills, they soon fell into a deep sleep.

Once it was confirmed that everyone had fallen asleep, Fang Yu slowly stood up.

With a gentle wave of her arm, she instantly stored the girls in her spatial dimension.

After doing all this, Fang Yu did not leave immediately.
