Chapter 60: A Pretty Woman Enters the City

  Xin Yuan stopped Qiu Yu Ying from throwing away another Japanese woman's kimono: "Yu Ying, keep it, we'll bring it with us, maybe it will come in handy later." Xin Yuan and Qiu Yu Ying piled up several Japanese soldiers' backpacks together in a small ditch in the woods, only taking three Japanese women's kimonos with them. The two of them used their lightness skills to jump and climb towards Chongmen City.

  Xin Yuan and Qiu Yu Ying arrived at the city gate near Cangmen City, they saw from afar that people entering the city were lined up in queues, waiting for the security guards to verify their identities before being allowed to pass. Qiu Yu Ying took out two passes from her pocket, handed one to Xin Yuan, and whispered in his ear, "You're called Han Xiao Xue, don't get your name wrong, let those turtles try to figure it out."

  Xin Yuan took the pass from Qiu Yuying, examined the photo on it carefully, and thought to himself: "You don't have to say, this Han Xiaoxue is quite pretty." But he said to Qiu Yuying, "Don't worry, I've been through checkpoints before, I know how to handle it."

  "What's going on here? Whose beautiful lady isn't staying at home, but instead running to this chaotic city gate? Ah ha, it's been a long time since I've seen such a pretty little thing! Come over, let us take a good look!" A leader-like security guard, hoarsely shouting, gazed at Xin Yuan and Qiu Yu Ying with a lustful expression, beckoning them over.

  "Come on——" Qiu Yu-ying said with a long drawl, "Just take a look at the boss, he's a decent person, knows how to show consideration for us two weak women in these chaotic times. Cousin, it seems we've met a noble person today, let's go, the boss is letting us into the city." Qiu Yu-ying linked her arm with Xin Yuan's and strode straightforwardly towards the little gatekeeper.

  "Beautiful, beautiful! It's as if a fairy has descended from heaven!" The little gatekeeper stared at Qiu Yu'ying and Xin Yuan as they walked towards him with elegant steps, his eyes wide with wonder. He couldn't help but drool, and saliva flowed uncontrollably from his mouth. "Two goddesses, what brings you to the city? Are you here for a blind date or something? I'm a talented young man, my family background is not bad either, and I have control over the entrance and exit of this city gate. I often sit at the same table as the imperial army. Two goddesses, if you don't despise me, would you be willing to privately settle down with me? I want both of you, I want both of you, haha!" The little gatekeeper shook his head, spouting nonsense at Xin Yuan and Qiu Yu'ying.

  "Slap——slap——" Qiu Yu-ying was not accustomed to him, and with a left and right swing, she gave the smiling little leader two slaps. Only then did Qiu Yu-ying's eyebrows stand on end, her eyes wide open, pointing at the little leader's nose and scolding: "Blind your dog eyes! This is Miss Han Xiaoxue, invited by General Hei Mu to be a guest, you dog slave, gatekeeping hound dog, speaking so indecently, don't blame me for telling General Hei Mu to castrate you!" Then Qiu Yu-ying took the pass from Xin Yuan's hand and slapped it on the little leader's face.

  The little gatekeeper was stunned, covering his hot face and staring at Qiu Yu'ying in terror. He glanced at Xin Yuan, who held his head high and didn't even give him a glance. The little gatekeeper felt a bit intimidated, thinking to himself: "Such a noble and beautiful woman must be from a wealthy and influential family, or perhaps she's the wife of a high-ranking official. I'm just a lowly gatekeeper, I mustn't offend someone like her, or else my future will be bleak." However... The little gatekeeper had a seed of doubt in his mind: "The women from the noble families of Cangmen City always ride in cars when they go out. Why didn't these two beautiful women take a car back to the city? Could they be impostors?"

  "Slap", Qiu Yu Ying raised her hand and slapped him again: "What are you staring at? The ladies have important business, if you delay them, can you afford to take the blame? Hand it over!" Qiu Yu Ying stretched out her hand to demand the pass. The little gatekeeper didn't dare say anything else, with a sorrowful face and a servile expression, he bowed his waist and handed over the pass with both hands: "Just routine, just routine, please forgive me." Qiu Yu Ying raised her hand again, but Xin Yuan quickly gave her a warning glance.

  Qiu Yu Ying pretended to stomp her foot and feigned anger, saying: "Hmph! You've delayed us for so long at the city gate. You, in the future, open your eyes wide and don't be unclear about good and evil. If you're not clear, I'll tell Commander Hei Mu to deal with you. Do you believe me?!" Qiu Yu Ying pointed at the small-headed guard.

  The little gatekeeper and other security personnel kept bowing to Qiu Yu Ying and Xin Yuan. Seeing their appearance, Qiu Yu Ying couldn't help but feel amused, but she couldn't show it, so she puffed out her chest, held onto Xin Yuan's arm, and walked into the city with a proud air.

  Having arrived at a safe area, Qiu Yu Ying couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing: "Hahaha, I'm dead! Look at that gatekeeper's lackey, I slapped him three times and he didn't even dare to make a sound. I was thinking of giving him another one, two would be a pair, and then slap him again. Xing Gege, why did you stop me?"

  "Yu Ying, you're too reckless. If that little gatekeeper didn't fall for your trick and got enraged instead, we'd have to reveal ourselves. I saw him holding the pass with a hesitant expression, he must have some degree of suspicion in his subconscious towards us. If you hit him again, you'll definitely blow our cover, so I stopped you." Xinyuan said.

  "Hey, Brother Xin, you don't know this, but someone like him who is so lustful, his mind is always on that one thing. So, just mentioning it will make him forget his duties. I'm using this to scare him, it's the best way to solve the problem. Besides, can this city gate really stop us? We can't get into the city of Cangming from anywhere else, we're just taking a shortcut. If he gets blown up, then he'll go meet King Yan. Brother Xin, you just follow me and be your noble lady, haha." Qiu Yu'ying said with a smile.

  "Go ahead, go ahead, Miss Qiu, you're doing the right thing, just pretend I didn't say anything." Xing Yuan was not infected by Qiu Yu Ying.

  "Alright, you've been cooped up in the temple for too long, your happy cells have been killed off. Xin Gege, you need to learn how to be happy. Hehe, isn't it great to find joy in hardship like I do? My brother is a Communist Party member, he always teaches us that doing revolution and fighting against the Japanese devils is tough, but we must have a revolutionary optimistic spirit. With this spirit, no difficulty can stop us. Xin Gege, the Japanese devils will surely perish, China's resistance against Japan will definitely achieve final victory." Qiu Yu'ying's cheerful words and happy personality always had a strong infectious power.

  "Yes, Jade sister, you're right! Japan must be defeated and China must win! We should fight with an optimistic and positive attitude. Even if we sacrifice our lives, it will be a happy one." Xing Yuan waved his fist excitedly and said.

  "Right, let's go to battle happily and wipe out the Japanese devils." Seeing Xin Yuan excited, Qiu Yu Ying also became excited, rushing into Xin Yuan's arms and embracing him.

  After a while, both of them felt a bit awkward. Both of them realized something. Such a passionate and long-lasting hug should only be between lovers. Xin Yuan had already clearly told Qiu Yu Ying that he loved Yao Feng Lan. Both of them might have thought of this, so they suddenly separated, each feeling embarrassed.

  Qiu Yu Ying broke the silence: "Xin Gege, what's our next move?"
