I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 127 Qiu Shuying

Wu San saw that the beauty only silently shed tears, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He had been living on the edge for over a month and was already feeling incredibly stifled. Especially after entering the valley, the life-or-death journey that had kept him on the brink of death for days left him with no time to think about anything else.

In the firelight, the beauty's tearful appearance was even more captivating.

Wu San's patience ran out. Without waiting for a reply, he stepped forward and tried to pull the person into his arms, intending to find a place behind the statue to properly vent his frustrations.

Zhao Yi glanced at his companion but remained silent. She was just a woman; as long as she didn't interfere with his master's affairs, he could turn a blind eye.

The anger of the members of Changchang Escort Agency intensified, but they dared not speak out.

None of them are new to the underworld. Trying to meddle in other people's business without the strength is tantamount to courting death, especially since these are "their own people."

A few of the younger, more hot-tempered ones only dared to secretly spit and mutter a few curses under their breath. In this way, they seemed to have satisfied their youthful heroic spirit, giving them something to brag about at the dinner table later on.

But they were afraid that Wu San would actually hear them, so they made a mock humming sound like mosquitoes and then shrank into a corner, not daring to attract his attention again.

Shen Tianbao frowned and stepped forward to block Wu San's path.

"You! Come here and change her clothes."

The swordsman in the corner suddenly spoke, drawing the attention of the two men facing off.

Wu San gripped the woman tightly in his arms, his narrow eyes gleaming with a shrewd light on his fleshy face. His eyes were fixed on the swordsman, while he threatened Shen Tianbao.

“Chief镖师 Shen, I heard that your lady had a difficult childbirth and almost lost both herself and her unborn child. She has survived with great difficulty and must be looking forward to the day when the family of three can be reunited. You should give me your pity for her.”

"Brother Zhao, Brother Wu, as I mentioned before, the situation in Linhai Valley is quite unusual. We must be on high alert and ready to continue our journey at any time. You two should know how I have fared along the way. If you trust me, please don't waste your time on trivial matters."

Shen Tianbao knew that if he directly told Wu San not to force this poor woman, not only would the other party not listen, but he might even fight with him.

But if they can persuade Zhao Yi, the poor woman in front of them might have a chance to escape this calamity.

"It's so noisy, come here!"

With a flash of cold light, Wu San, who had been staring intently at the swordsman, pushed the woman aside and drew his eight-sided mace to strike the swordsman.

Before the weapons even clashed, a scream rang out as half of the fingers on the hand holding the mace were severed.

This sword is faster than anyone imagined!

"Tianshan Swordplay! You're from Tianshan?"

When the swordsman made his move again, the well-informed Zhao Yi recognized the swordsman's identity from his companion's wounds.

The swordsman merely snorted coldly, neither admitting nor denying it. He pointed his sword at the woman, his chilling voice as cold as ice.

"If you don't want to die, bring her over here!"

Zhao Yi, his face grim, blocked Wu San, who was gritting his teeth and about to step forward.

Shen Tianbao gestured to Lu Bo to treat Wu San's injuries. He and Zhao Yi exchanged a glance, both understanding that the swordsman in front of them was not someone they could afford to provoke.

The two men clasped their hands in greeting to the swordsman, dragged Wu San back to their side for treatment, and the commotion was averted.

The frail woman got up from the ground and glanced at Shen Tianbao's group. Seeing that no one was bothering her anymore, she ran over to the swordsman.

The girl lying on the cushion behind the swordsman had her eyes closed and was soaking wet. When the wind blew outside the temple, she shivered unconsciously.

No wonder the swordsman got angry; if this girl continues to wear these wet clothes, she'll probably freeze to death in this dilapidated temple today.

After the woman whispered a few words to the swordsman, she led him behind the statue and had him change into a set of dry clothes from her bag.

He then laid out the bedding on the straw mat, and carried the girl to lie down inside.

After a while, she crawled out of bed. She went to Shen Tianbao's place and asked for some ginger tea, which she then fed to the girl.

After doing all this, she returned to her grandfather's side and began to cook a detoxifying soup.

The swordsman remained silent throughout, sitting in front of the fire, coldly observing everyone before him like a lone wolf.

Outside the temple, the wind and rain continued to rage, with lightning and thunder.

Some people inside the temple were already fast asleep, while others on night watch quietly glanced back and forth at the swordsman and the girl behind him. In addition, there was a pair of venomous eyes staring intently at the swordsman.

I slept soundly through the night, and as dawn broke, golden light pierced the darkness, pierced through the clouds, and illuminated the earth.

Yesterday's torrential rain and strong winds felt like a dream; once I woke up, it was all over.

Seeing the sunlight outside the temple, the members of Changchang Escort Agency couldn't help but feel a surge of hope for the future.

Shen Tianbao leaned on the temple door, looking at the sunlight outside and feeling great.

Let's hurry on our way while we have the chance. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to leave the valley within three days!

Just as Shen Tianbao turned around, preparing to instruct his men to get to work, a cold voice rang out again from the corner.

"They're all leaving, how long are you planning to stay?"

Shen Tianbao felt a chill run down his spine; he couldn't understand what the swordsman meant.

But his life-or-death instincts honed over years of escorting goods told him that something was about to spiral out of control, threatening the lives of all of them.

"Ugh, this is so boring. If you weren't so useless and they recognized you, we could have played for a couple more days!"

Inside the dilapidated temple, the frail woman from last night lay reclining on the offering table before the statue, her innocent smile as radiant as the sunlight outside.

"Hmm~ Although I couldn't see these people just one step away from leaving the valley, I could only watch their hope right in front of them, while they lost both legs and couldn't crawl out no matter how hard they tried, their faces filled with despair as they slowly lost their lives. Now that the rain has stopped and the sky is clear, it's the best time of their day, so it's not so bad after all."

"Who are you?"

Shen Tianbao circulated his internal energy, but suddenly his whole body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground. He used his still-functioning eyes to scan the situation inside the temple.

Apart from the swordsman and the woman, everyone else collapsed to the ground like him.

"Little brother, she really likes you. Do you want to keep her company? If she's in a good mood, she might let you go."

Seeing Shen Tianbao speak, the woman seemed to find some amusement. She jumped down from the offering table and walked up to Shen Tianbao.

With interest, her slender fingers traced the Adam's apple of the burly man in front of her, then slowly slid down to Shen Tianbao's chest, circling around.

Shen Tianbao's Adam's apple bobbed, his resolute face fixed intently on the woman who was seducing him.

"None of us from Changchang Escort Agency have seen the young lady or this gentleman today. No matter who asks in the future, Changchang Escort Agency will never change our story. If we break this oath, may we die a horrible death!"

"Hmph, how boring! I don't like men who think they're so clever. Think it over carefully, little brother, I'll come find you again later."

The woman clapped her hands and walked up to Wu San, who was incessantly cursing her as a slut.

Before long, the fierce-looking man, tears streaming down his face, frantically kowtowed to the woman, begging for forgiveness.

He kowtowed while trying to grab the wound on his right hand, where a finger had been lost, with his weak left hand. But the powerless finger was useless; all he could do was rub the wound against the ground.

The hard stone bricks rubbed the wound raw, leaving it bloody and mangled, exposing the bone.

Wu San seemed oblivious to the pain, continuing to grind his fists on the ground.

"It was my fault for being blind and not recognizing your greatness! Lady, goddess, fairy, please spare me! Please, please let me go... No, please, just kill me!"

"Hey bro, didn't you want me to keep you company last night? Aren't you happy that I let the little ones keep you company first? But I'm really happy~"

"Who exactly are you? He accidentally offended you, just give him a quick death, why torture him like this!" Zhao Yi watched as the woman took out a black jar and poured it into his companion's wound. A swarm of black ants fell out of the jar, and soon the ants disappeared from his companion's wound and entered his companion's body, and then his companion became what he is now.

This woman was so vicious that he couldn't even recognize her background!

"Hey, big brother, you want to die knowing the truth? No problem, I'm the most kind and generous person. My name is Qiu Shuying. Tonight, when we go to the underworld, big brother, please don't say the wrong name of your enemy!"
