Chapter Thirty-Four: The Mound of Piled-Up Corpses

  I won't be able to go back myself!

  Chiang Nian's first reaction was, "Is this a scam or what? What kind of joke is this? Author, your readers are suffering so much, did you do it on purpose? Did your parents raise you to be such a scammer?"

  Jiang Nian, as a new little reader, only knew of this one entrance, which was told to her by DouDou. Before, the books didn't mention these things and suddenly she returned. But here must be other entrances, it's just that DouDou never told her. Now she sneaked out alone without even bringing a communicator, and in her hurry, she only thought of bringing more money for traveling far away, so now Jiang Nian's storage ring only had gold coins and large diamonds.

  Jiang Tu Hao stood foolishly at the entrance of the wine tower, waiting for a long time until those fires were extinguished by another mushroom-shaped phantom device. She waited a little longer, until the crowd had almost dispersed before running to the back of the wine cellar. As expected, she found that the entrance phantom device had been burned and deformed, originally this thing was well hidden and would not be discovered, but now it suddenly became a bare iron frame, all exposed. Jiang Nian thought for a moment, took down the iron frame, and put it in her ring, this kind of thing must not be discovered.

  She sighed, knowing she couldn't go back for the time being, so she reluctantly turned around to head back. Just as she turned around, her nose bumped into a soft wall. Jiang Nian took a few steps back and found that in front of her was a very sunny and handsome man. His lips were especially good-looking, plump in shape, and although their color couldn't be seen, they must also be very beautiful, and when he smiled, it would surely make people fall into a trap.

  That person smiled shyly, revealing beautiful and delicate teeth that sparkled like they were glowing. His voice also sounded very gentle: "Miss, would you mind if I tagged along? I lost my money, and it seems you're not from the first city either. When we leave, can I ride on your flying beast?"

  Is this a free ride? Jiang Nian's brain didn't react in time. What does this mean? No money, thinking of following along? Can you be so direct? This person's face is thicker than the city wall, can it be pierced?

  That person's face had a faint blush, but he didn't look embarrassed at all. He grabbed Jiang Nian's hand and said: "Let's leave tomorrow, I'm so tired now, let's go find a place to sleep first. Don't worry, the inn won't only have one room left. And although I don't have money, I'm a very powerful illusionist, I can protect you. You're a beautiful girl traveling alone, it's not easy, you need someone to protect you, right?"

  He said a lot by himself and didn't care if Jiang Nian was listening or not, pulling Jiang Nian's hand towards the inn.

  At this time, Jiang Nian's brain was completely shut down. When did she agree to bring him along? Moreover, she was in the First City, so close to the Lianyue Tree, and her fantasy power was fully activated, so she didn't need any protection at all, right? This person is too ridiculous, is he a character created by the author? Won't there be some bug in the setting?

  "Wait, wait, wait, you have to tell me your name first." I can then figure out which cannon fodder you are.

  "Me?" The man unexpectedly turned around, his eyes very sincere: "My name is Bai Hei... just call me Bai Hei."

  What the heck? Being blacked out?! Is this some kind of weird name?! Jiang Nian always felt like she was still sleeping and hadn't woken up yet. She remembered that there was no such name in the book, even among the cannon fodder characters, she had no impression of it at all. Was he just a random passerby?

  In just a few minutes, Jiang Niantong became the child who asks questions, his expression like he had eaten ten bitter gourds. Looking at Bei He, he didn't know what to say either.

  Bei He looked at Jiang Nian's face, his own face didn't look too good either. He guessed that this name seemed to be one she didn't like? What kind of name would she like then? He looked around anxiously, suddenly seeing a vendor selling couplets, all with words on them. After carefully arranging the position, he said easily: "Actually, I was deceiving you, Miss. How could there be such a name? My name is Ye... Ye Qi Hen." This name sounded a bit awkward when spoken, he thought the characters looked good but didn't sound too great when read aloud.

  Jiang nodded, actually she hadn't heard of this name either, probably just a passerby, but this name was much better than some Bei Hei. So her expression wasn't so knotted up anymore, and she said: "I'll only send you on your way, once I get off, I won't care about you."

  Due to this little episode with the name, Jiang Nian unexpectedly forgot that he was supposed to reject him and instead agreed.

  Ye Qihen's expression also eased up, and he nodded obediently, continuing to hold Jiang Nian's hand as they walked.

  Later, Jiang Nian often thought back and felt that he was deceived at the beginning, and only then would he be so foolishly trafficked. Trafficking women and children is immoral, isn't it?

  Ye Qihen happily held Jiang Nian's hand as they walked to the guest house, his mood was extremely good, it seemed like his heart was going to burst with bubbles. He had fantasized about this scene countless times, but she had never agreed, let alone walked peacefully together for so long. He always dreamed of holding her hand while walking on the road, only to wake up and find it was just an empty dream. Now that this dream had become a reality, even if the other person didn't have any thoughts in that direction, he was still very happy on his own.

  Arriving at the entrance of the inn, Jiang Nian finally saw how shameless the rotten author was - one of the top ten must-haves for crossing over had occurred: only one room was left!

  She weakly rubbed her head, then looked at Ye Qi Hen and thought his body looked pretty good, so sleeping outside for a night shouldn't be a problem, right?

  Just as I was thinking about this, I was still organizing my words to persuade the dead tail to sleep outside, but then I heard his thunder on a clear day: "It's just right, we only need one room." Then he took Jiang Nian and went upstairs.

  Jiang Nian really felt that the whole person was not good, originally thought that he could meet Lan Lun's kind of freak already owed eight lifetimes of bad luck, now how is there still such a character? Author, are your three views really refreshed?

  Only when the two of them went upstairs did Jiang Nian come to his senses, shaking off Ye Qi's hand. His tone was very unpleasant: "We don't even know each other, do we? It's already kind of me to take you this far, but you can't just climb up like a pole. Who knows what kind of person you are?"

  Ye Qihen touched his earlobe with his hand, this action was actually very feminine, but he did it in a way that had a strange kind of cuteness to it.

  Jiang Nian was a bit distracted, this action, before, seemed to have seen it.

  Because of this unease, she didn't know what to do next. The action was still flashing in her mind, making Jiang Nian feel headache and uncomfortable.

  Ye Qiwen spread the quilt, saw Jiang Nian's somewhat absent-minded expression, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'll sleep on the floor, I won't climb onto your bed. You don't have to be afraid. I'm a gentleman." Yeah right.

  Digression

  Starting tomorrow, full force development of the plot!
