Chapter 3 Body Without a Single Penny

  Murong Ling looked Ye Yun up and down from head to toe, then glanced at the old woman beside her and said, "Did you write this?"

  Ye Yun nodded, "Not bad. This is just a small trick to get some business for this old lady. It depends on whether the young master is willing or not."

  An intelligent person does not speak in riddles; writing these is just for novelty.

  The young master glanced at Ye Yun and slightly hooked the corner of his mouth: "Interesting, then bring me a bowl. I'd like to taste this Meng Po soup."

  The old woman hastily poured water and handed it over.

  Murong Ying took it over and was about to drink when Ye Yun said beside him, "Young master must not swallow it hastily. This water should be savored slowly to know its flavor."

  Murong Yu's hand paused, and he looked at Ye Yun with a hint of doubt. Despite her disheveled appearance, her eyes shone brightly like luminous pearls, filled with a rare clarity.

  "Alright! I'll listen to you." Murong Ying slowly took a sip, raised an eyebrow, and seemed to have a fleeting sparkle in his eyes.

  Ye Yun knew he had acquired the taste.

  Murong Ling turned around and walked towards the horse carriage in big strides. Ye Yun was still wondering what he wanted to do, when she saw him hand over a bowl of water into the carriage and said: "You also drink a mouthful to try it out. It's really like being reborn!"

  "Have you had a drink?" came a clear and cold male voice from inside the car.

  "Alright," Murong Yu was taken aback for a moment, then continued: "People in the jianghu world shouldn't be so calculating."

  "No!" The person inside flatly refused, without giving Mu Rongying any face at all.

  Murong Ying helplessly sighed and finished a bowl of water by herself. She nodded, still unsatisfied, "Indeed, it's good water!"

  He stretched out his hand and took a leather pouch from the carriage, handing it to the old woman. "Old lady, help me fill this with water, I want to take it away."

  "Alright, alright." The old woman hastily took the water bag and went to water it.

  Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Yun asked Murong Yu, "Are you going to the town ahead?"

  Murong Ling nodded, "Indeed. What teachings does the young lady have?"

  Ye Yun looked up at the sky and said: "May I hitch a ride into town?"

  If she walks on foot for three kilometers, it's likely that even when night falls, she still won't have arrived.

  "I don't care, it's just that person in the car..." Mo Rong's voice had barely fallen when a cold voice came from inside the car.

  "No way!"

  Murong Ying helplessly shrugged his shoulders, "Then I can only love you in vain."

  "It doesn't matter." Ye Yun said with her mouth, but in her heart she was depressed and annoyed. That hateful stinky man wouldn't even give her a ride! How petty!

  Ye Yun felt a slight itch on her neck and was about to grab the mischievous snake to teach it a lesson, when she heard it say: "I can help you."

  As soon as it was said, a swift flash, Ye Yun only felt a looseness on her neck, and then heard a neigh.

  Turning back to look, he only saw that the horse had been frightened for some reason, let out a loud whinny, lifted its two front hooves, and galloped away.

  But it didn't run far away, instead it circled around with its carriage in place.

  Ye Yun keenly saw a snake wrapped around one of the horse's legs, apparently the horse was afraid of snakes, so it panicked and ran wildly.

  Suddenly a white figure rushed out of the carriage and rode on one of the horses to calm it down.

  Unfortunately, the horse is now terrified and doesn't want to obey its master's reins at all.

  Life and the master's order, which one is more important? Of course it's life!

  The man in white saw that the horse was disobedient, so he flew down from the horse and did a somersault to arrive beside Murong Yu.

  Ye Yun only then saw clearly the white-clothed man's appearance, black hair like ink, thin lips vermilion, skin as white as snow, facial features proportionate to perfection a big mess.

  Yeyun has lived so big and hasn't seen anyone with such a perfect facial feature arrangement.

  It's really too beautiful!

  Although it's somewhat unsuitable to describe a man as beautiful, however, the person in front of her, Ye Yun couldn't find any other words to describe.

  Heaven really treated him too well! He was actually born so beautiful!

  Even Ye Yun, who thought she had seen countless people, couldn't help but be drawn in by his gaze.

  "What's going on?" The horse didn't listen to the white-clothed man's words, which made Murong Yu somewhat surprised.

  The man in white clothes glanced at Murong Yu lightly and said, "You're shocked."

  "Can't you handle it either?" Murong Yu asked again.

  The man in white clothes had a hint of disdain in his eyes this time. Didn't you all see it? He asked again.

  Murong Yu covered her mouth, "Seriously, how did you get startled all of a sudden? These two horses are rare treasures after all."

  Ye Yun glanced at Ma Tui's leg and said: "I can calm the horse down, but you have to take me to the town up ahead."

  "Do you have a way?" Murong Yu thought Ye Yun was just talking big, but when she met her clear and determined eyes, she really believed her a little.

  "En!" Ye Yun nodded. She was originally skilled in horse taming, let alone this time the problem was also within her grasp, and it was easy to handle this small matter.

  Murong Ying looked at the white-clothed man beside him for his opinion, and the man nodded.

  Murong Yongsighed in relief, "Then I'll have to trouble you, miss."

  Ye Yun stretched her muscles and bones a bit, "Just remember our appointment!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed towards the frantic horse.

  The old woman who had come to fetch water happened to see the horse lift its front hoof high and was about to step on Ye Yun, scaring her so much that she loosened her grip, and the water bag fell to the ground.

  What left everyone stunned was that the originally furious horse suddenly put away its front hooves, lowered its head and let Ye Yun touch it.

  Her lips curled slightly at the corners, her eyes provocatively gazing at the man in white, "Alright, the horses are calm now, you can't back out now."

  The man in white clothes narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Yun straight for the first time.

  Although she was disheveled from head to toe, those clear eyes made it impossible for people to ignore her.

  Murong Ling directly left a silver ingot for the old woman, and the old woman was terrified. In her life, she had never seen so much silver, and she took Ye Yun as a noble person, thanking her thousands of times.

  Ye Yun hastily supported the old woman and said, "Old lady, you saved my life, but I haven't repaid you in any way. This silver was given by these two young masters, if you want to thank anyone, it should be them."

  After finishing speaking, she walked onto the carriage, took a glance at the decorations inside, and sat down outside without entering.

  Murong Ling and the man in white had already boarded the carriage. Seeing Ye Yun sitting outside, Murong Ling said, "Miss, why don't you come in? The wind and sand are very strong outside."

  "It doesn't matter. I've been walking in this desert for a day, and my body is dirty. I don't want to dirty the clean carriage. I have no money on me, but I don't have enough to pay for cleaning fees." Yeyun said, urging the horse to hurry up.

  The horse listened and ran, but didn't dare run too fast. The snakes were still on Ye Yun's body, they could only listen to it completely.

  "Have you been walking in the desert for a whole day?" Murong Yu looked at the man in white with surprise, seeing him meditating with his eyes closed, then suddenly appeared in front of the carriage and sat down beside Ye Yun. "Miss, I see your attire doesn't seem to be from around here?"

  Check household registration?

  Ye Yun glanced at Murong Yu and said: "Well, I'm from a very far place, don't know why I ended up in this desert?"

  "So you...are now homeless?"

  Murong Ying's words were a bit piercing to Ye Yun, she slightly furrowed her brow and said: "Indeed, that's correct."

  Murong Ying was deep in thought and didn't notice Ye Yun's expression at all, continuing to ask: "Without a penny?"

  "...How does it sound like you're trying to abduct a woman?" Ye Yun looked at him sideways, but didn't respond.

  Murong Yu did not hear Ye Yun's response, turned his head around and found Ye Yun staring at him with a guarded expression.

  "Miss, don't misunderstand me. I want to ask for your help with something. If it succeeds, I'll give you some silver as a reward."

  Ye Yun's eyes narrowed suspiciously at him, "Are you planning on selling me and then having me count the money for you?"

  Murong Ying almost fell off the carriage, and quickly explained: "Miss, you misunderstood. I just asked because this matter is a bit troublesome. Just now, I saw that Miss has a lot of courage and good martial arts skills, so I thought that if I entrusted this matter to Miss, it might be possible to accomplish. And Miss happens to lack some silver, I am willing to use this as compensation. Does Miss want to help with this?"

  Ye Yun was somewhat shaken. To survive in this world, she had to have money, and now that a lucrative opportunity had presented itself, not taking it seemed like a waste.

  "You tell me what's going on first, and then I'll consider whether or not to help you." She wasn't stupid enough to sell herself out just because she needed money.
