Chapter 1: What a Big Son
Bai Wutong slowly opened her eyes and immediately saw a turbid river in front.
Suddenly, she regained consciousness.
She sat up in the water and was relieved to find no zombies around.
The moment she lowered her head and saw her reflection in the water, she was immediately stunned.
She was just as she had been, but six or seven years younger.
What shocked Bai Wutong the most was that she was wearing a gorgeous dress and had a head full of pearls. She clearly looked like an ancient heiress!
Had she traveled from the apocalypse to ancient times?
Why didn’t she have any memories?
As she tried to recall, she felt a pain in the back of her head.
She reached out and felt a huge lump.
She lowered her hand and there was blood.
She understood. Whatever memories she had were probably gone when she hit her head.
Still, she was happy.
In this world, there was no need to constantly guard against being zombies.
Moreover, she had a lot of jewelry on her. If she sold them, she should be able to find a place to settle down for the time being.
She had just made up her mind when a “corpse” floated past her.
It had been a long time since she had seen her own kind. Her gaze faltered and she jumped into the water with a splash and scooped the person up to the shore. She pressed down hard on his chest and opened his mouth to perform CPR.
“Cough, cough, cough~”
The man spat out water several times and slowly opened his eyes.
Bai Wutong was delighted to see him awake and wanted to ask him about what was going on.
The man blinked with his dark eyes.
His confused gaze made Bai Wutong feel that something was wrong.
The man’s beautiful thin lips spat out a shocking word. “Mother~” His tone even sounded aggrieved.
“…” What a big son I have!
Bai Wutong had a bad feeling.
She couldn’t have saved a fool, right!
She was about to test if the man was in a daze from unconsciousness when his eyes rolled back and he fainted again.
“…”
Bai Wutong’s eyebrows twitched. Was he intending to extort her kindness?
‘He looks like a decent human. I don’t think so.’
She patted the man’s cheek. “Hello? Hello? Wake up?”
His forehead and cheeks were burning. After confirming that the guy was really unconscious, Bai Wutong had to check what was wrong with him.
She ripped open his top to find his bandaged chest soaked in blood.
This person had been seriously injured before he fell into the water.
Bai Wutong also found a bloody hole in his head that also needed emergency first-aid.
But she had not bandaged even herself, so how could she treat him?
If only she’d had the RV. It had a first-aid kit.
As soon as she finished muttering, Bai Wutong felt the weight in her hand. She looked down and was stunned.
The first-aid kit was actually in her hand.
‘What’s this all about?’
She remained calm and thought for a moment, then another box of cookies appeared in her hand.
Her heart started beating fast.
She wasn’t dreaming after all.
Her RV in the apocalypse had turned into a portable space and followed her into this world. What surprised her most was that she could still take anything out of the RV at will.
The RV had been bought with all the money her grandparents had left her before the apocalypse. There was only 15 square feet of space but it was complete with a washer, refrigerator, television, toilet, bedroom, storage room, and so on.
For her own safety and security, Bai Wutong’s RV was filled with all kinds of weapons and supplies. Other than the place where she slept, it was filled to the brim. However, because of these things, she had managed to survive the zombies several times.
The RV had followed her into this world, which Bai Wutong had never expected. If she didn’t have to save someone first, she would have jumped up and screamed in excitement.
Bai Wutong’s grandfather was a doctor in the village. Bai Wutong had been influenced by him and could deal with basic illnesses.
After struggling to survive in the apocalypse for a few years, she was even more familiar with external injuries.
Removing the gauze from his body, the hideous wound was immediately revealed.
After being immersed in the river water for a long time, the wound was already inflamed.
She gave him a shot of anesthesia first, then cut away the white flesh on his chest before stitching him up.
After she had carefully treated the wounds on the man’s chest and head, Bai Wutong simply bandaged the wound on the back of her head. Then, she immediately put the first-aid kit into the RV.
Her body felt sticky. Bai Wutong glanced at the man who was still unconscious and took off all her clothes. Then, she quickly took a set of undergarments and a linen dress from the RV and put them on.
If someone suddenly appeared, nothing would seem particularly odd.
She had wanted to take the clothes to the river to wash them, but one look at the murky water had completely dispelled that idea.
There was a washing machine in the RV. She wondered if it would function.
Taking a chance, Bai Wutong stuffed the clothes into the RV’s washing machine and pressed the start button.
The washing machine started spinning at once.
Bai Wutong was shocked.
Then elation followed.
Then she quickly checked the other appliances.
Apart from not being able to connect to the Internet, everything else could be used.
The confusion of her arrival in this world was instantly washed away by the surprise that the RV space had given her.
With the washing machine, the clothes were quickly washed. She added detergent, so not only did they smell good, they were dried.
Bai Wutong changed into her original clothes and arranged some important items and food in her backpack. Before long, she realized with alarm that someone was coming towards her.
From the sound of the footsteps, there were two of them.
If they didn’t have any bad intentions, they would appear openly.
But, they didn’t.
Her eyes darkened as a sharp axe appeared in her hand.
Soon, two middle-aged men, one tall and one fat, appeared in front of Bai Wutong.
The moment they saw Bai Wutong, they revealed expressions of greed.
Having lived in the apocalypse for a few years, Bai Wutong was very familiar with this kind of gaze.
The hand on the axe tightened.
The fat man said fearlessly, “Old Li, we’re going to be rich. This beautiful girl’s items are worth at least 500 taels of silver.”
Old Li’s wretched gaze stopped on Bai Wutong’s face. “Fourth Brother, let’s rob her and play with her. I’ve never played with such a delicate woman.”
Fourth Brother smiled even more wickedly. “What a pity. If we wouldn’t be caught upon returning to Lin’an, we would definitely make a lot of money selling her to the brothel.”
“However, it’s worth it for her to meet us before she dies.”
Old Li took a step forward with a smile on his face. “Little lady, as long as you’re obedient…”
Bai Wutong’s expression was grim. Just as she raised her hand, two leaves shot out from behind her like meteors and pierced straight into Old Li and Fourth Brother’s throats.
There wasn’t even a scream. Two men who’d wanted to do something to her had died right in front of her eyes.
‘…?’
Bai Wutong turned and met a pair of dark eyes.
‘When did he wake up?’
‘Did he see me conjure an axe out of thin air?’
‘If he does… should I silence him?’
Still, the guy’s physique was amazing.
An anesthetic could knock someone out for at least two hours. He’d been awake after only an hour.
After looking at each other for a while, Bai Wutong carefully probed, “You saved me, and I saved you. Then I’ll shall make my leave first?”
Hearing the word “leave”, the man, who was like a god just now, suddenly opened his mouth and said in a pitiful voice that was completely different from his noble and extraordinary face, “Mother~ Don’t go, don’t go…” He even reached out his hand to grab Bai Wutong.

Chapter 2: Escape
‘Mother? Are you sure?’
Bai Wutong’s entire face was frozen.
‘He’s not really a complete idiot, is he?’
Bai Wutong rolled her eyes and took the opportunity to ask, “When did you see those two people?”
The man blinked in thought. “When they were talking.”
Bai Wutong heaved a sigh of relief. He probably hadn’t seen her conjure up the axe. Bai Wutong planned to slip away before the anesthetic wore off on his lower body.
As soon as she lifted her foot, Bai Wutong remembered something. She took out an apple and a few biscuits from her bag and placed them on the ground. When she met with his delighted gaze, she said, “You eat first. I’m going out for a walk. I’ll be back soon.”
The fool picked up a biscuit and nodded obediently. “Tianbao will wait for Mother to return.”
“…” Tianbao?
What a ‘dignified’ name!
Bai Wutong suppressed an inexplicable sense of amusement. She picked up her backpack and walked away from the man’s gaze without looking back.
Bai Wutong walked in the direction where Fourth Brother and Old Li had come from for more than half an hour before she finally saw a dirt road.
When she came out of the forest, she saw many commoners who were accompanied by their huge families. They were all heading in one direction.
Most of them were emaciated and had worried faces. They looked like they hadn’t eaten enough.
Bai Wutong was dressed in gorgeous satin. Even without any accessories, her jade-like appearance was still especially eye-catching.
Sensing the people around her secretly sizing her up and even harboring ill intentions, Bai Wutong suddenly realized that the outfit she thought was low-key was actually not low-key enough.
Bai Wutong mixed into the crowd and asked a kind-looking old lady, “Madam, where are you going?”
The old lady gave her a surprised look. “You are escaping the country alone?” she asked in surprise.
Escape?
Bai Wutong raised her eyebrows and quickly reacted to it. “No, my mother and brother are waiting for me in the woods. They asked me to find out how long it will take to reach the next city.”
The old lady nodded to show her understanding. ‘I knew it. How could such a pretty girl be on her way alone?’
“We’re still thirty miles from Lin’an. If we walk fast, we’ll be there before dark.”
Bai Wutong asked calmly, “There are so many people. Can we all enter?”
Even if she had not personally experienced a refugee escape, Bai Wutong had seen many cruel scenes of a refugee escape in books.
In order to prevent refugees from entering the city and causing trouble, they could only linger in front of the city gate and wait for the officials to provide them with porridge.
The old lady shook her head. “Let’s take it one step at a time. We’ll only starve to death if we go back.”
Bai Wutong beat around the bush a little more and finally sorted out her thoughts.
She was in the Yan Kingdom. Not only was there a severe famine, but there was also a muddle-headed, cruel, and licentious emperor. Two months ago, the king of another family used the slogan of enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens and took the opportunity to start a war. He occupied more than ten cities in the Yan Kingdom and established the Ling Kingdom.
The commoners were terrified and uneasy. They also heard that the commoners who became Ling Kingdom could be properly settled and did not have to worry about food and drinks.
The citizens of the Yan Kingdom were starving and had to pay heavy taxes and serve in the military, forcing people into a corner. In contrast, more and more people were looking for hope to seek refuge in Ling Kingdom.
Lin’an City was the only way from Yan Kingdom to Ling Kingdom.
However, even if the Yan Kingdom had lost more than a dozen cities, it would still take them a few months to travel from Lin’an City to Ling Kingdom’s current territory.
The people of the Yan Kingdom had already lost their faith. It was only a matter of time before their country was destroyed. It was best for her to head to Ling Kingdom and settle down.
The food in the RV could only last a month. She had to go to Lin’an to replenish her supplies.
Bai Wutong bade farewell to the kind old lady and quickly returned to the forest. She found a hidden place to hide.
Bai Wutong’s grandmother was a tailor in the village and Bai Wutong had inherited her good skills. She found a few old clothes from the RV and quickly made them with the mini sewing machine. She put on the refugee clothes that looked tattered but were actually very comfortable and convenient for moving.
She took out her makeup tools again and smeared over her face for a while.
After a while, a hideous person with dark skin, a face full of black spots, a blind eye, and yellowed teeth emerged from the woods by the road.
The men around her looked and glanced away in disgust.
No wonder she dared to travel alone. No one would want such an ugly woman even if she were given to a ghost.
Bai Wutong carefully paid attention to their expressions and realized that they were all taking the initiative to stay far away from her, afraid that they would have anything to do with her.
Bai Wutong was secretly delighted. It was not in vain that she had spent so much effort to find a usable white contact lens from the RV.
‘It saves too much trouble.’
Her current body was really too weak. She had walked for more than four hours for 30 miles.
The moment she saw the city of Lin’an, she felt the blisters on her feet burn.
Fortunately, Lin’an City did not stop the refugees from entering the city.
Bai Wutong wanted to exchange for some silver, so she found a pawnshop. When the shopkeeper saw her, he waved his hand to signal the staff to chase her out.
Bai Wutong took out a golden hairpin and placed it in front of the shopkeeper. “This is my family heirloom. I want to exchange it for silver pieces.”
Not only was the golden hairpin of Bai Wutong exquisitely made, but it was also decorated with rare rubies.
The style was so novel. How could it be a family heirloom of a countryside woman?
‘It must have been stolen!’
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and smiled sinisterly. He said to a few tall and burly shop assistants, “How dare you steal my golden hairpin? Capture her and throw her out!”
Bai Wutong did not expect that a legitimate pawnshop could do such a thing in broad daylight. The moment her heart sank, she grabbed the shopkeeper and pressed the sharp golden hairpin against his throat.
“If you want to cheat me of my family heirloom, go to hell with me.”
Fourth Brother and Old Li were not the only people who wanted to rob and kill her. However, they were all dead.
Fortunately, she had put in the effort to disguise herself. After killing them, she was not afraid of being found by the officials.
Bai Wutong’s ruthless gaze stunned the shop assistants.
The shopkeeper forced himself to calm down. He narrowed his eyes and threatened, “The magistrate is all my people. Even if you take the silver, you won’t be able to leave Lin’an City. If you know what’s good for you, let go of me. I can still consider letting you off.”
Bai Wutong did not waste her breath on him. With a little force, the golden hairpin pressed into the shopkeeper’s throat.
The pain made the shopkeeper panic immediately. He hurriedly said in a trembling voice, “Spare me, heroine. Don’t, don’t stab me anymore. I’ll get someone to prepare money for you now.”
Bai Wutong said solemnly, “I know how much silver this should be exchanged for! Don’t play tricks. If there’s a missing silver piece, I’ll cut off one of your fingers.”
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, but gave the shop assistant a knowing look.
Bai Wutong glanced around.
The moment she lowered her eyes, she stomped on the shopkeeper.
Immediately after, a sharp dagger was pulled from her waist. With a whoosh, it was nailed to the ear of the shop assistant who wanted to run out and call for help. It even cut off a strand of his hair.
The shop assistant turned his head and saw the sharp dagger on the back of the door. He remembered that he had almost lost his life just now. His legs went limp and the smell of urine immediately came from his crotch.
Everyone in the pawnshop was stunned.

Chapter 3: Entering the City
Bai Wutong came out of the pawnshop and quickly entered an alley. She put her silver taels and golden hairpin into the space and took out cosmetics from her bag. In a moment, the extremely ugly woman disappeared and was replaced by a young and ordinary girl.
The shopkeeper struggled to get up from the ground and immediately covered his bleeding neck with a handkerchief. He shouted at the magistrate officer on the street, “An ugly woman with a blind left eye robbed my shop of 150 taels of silver and a golden hairpin. Send someone to capture her immediately!”
“Yes!” The magistrate officer actually spoke respectfully to the pawnbroker.
Bai Wutong saw this from the shadows and shook her head secretly. The roots of the Yan Kingdom were completely rotten.
Bai Wutong walked into an inn and asked the waiter, “Are there any more rooms?”
The waiter said indifferently, “There’s still the high-class, low-class rooms, and the common beds. Where do you want to stay?”
Bai Wutong said, “I want a high-class room.”
The waiter sized her up. “Five taels of silver a night for a high-class room.”
Bai Wutong nodded. “I’m taking the high-class room.”
The waiter immediately beamed with joy. “Ma’am, this way please. You can check in after registering.”
Bai Wutong thought that she could check in after paying and recording her name. Who knew that she had to register with her household records?
Seeing her hesitation, the waiter deliberately said, “It’s chaotic outside. If you don’t have a household register, you can’t stay anywhere. It’s best for you to apply for a new household register.”
Bai Wutong thought for a moment, took out a tael of silver, and stuffed it into the waiter’s hand. “Where can I apply for a household register?”
The person who was making the household register could definitely create a fake one.
The waiter was obviously adept at this business.
Sure enough, the waiter beamed like a blooming flower when he received the money. He said happily, “Ma’am, please wait a moment. I’ll take you there immediately. It’s just that it’s not easy to apply for a household register. You might have to spend more effort.”
Bai Wutong understood and took out another tael of silver. “Then I’ll have to trouble you to spend more effort.”
After receiving another tael of silver, the waiter was so happy that wrinkles appeared on his face. He brought Bai Wutong to the government office and muttered to the magistrate officers he knew. After spending 20 taels of silver, she was casually registered under a village in the Yan Kingdom.
Holding the freshly printed household register, Bai Wutong heaved a sigh of relief. She was now a person with an identity in this world.
There was a long queue at the door of the food rations store. The food rations were frighteningly expensive.
One tael of silver could only buy 10 catties of fine rice. In other words, 2,000 yuan could only buy 10 catties of high-quality rice.
Even if the coarse rice was cheaper, one tael of silver could only buy 100 catties of it. It was twice as expensive as before.
Now that the famine was becoming severe, food would only become more and more expensive. The refugees would do anything for a bite of food on their journey.
No one was dumb. They would buy as much as they could.
With silver in hand, Bai Wutong did not hold back. She asked for 100 catties of fine rice, 300 catties of coarse rice, 10 catties of white sugar, 10 catties of salt, 50 catties of oil, and 10 catties of soy sauce. She spent 30 taels of silver in one go.
Afraid that it would arouse suspicion, Bai Wutong directly lied that she was a maidservant buying on behalf of her owner’s family. After paying, she asked them to send the items directly to the inn.
100 catties of rice was enough for her to eat for 300 days. Now that there were 400 catties of rice, it was definitely enough for her to find a place to stay for long.
Apart from food, Bai Wutong still lacked a lot of things. She went to the textile shop to buy some ready-made clothes and a few bolts of durable cloth.
The weather was hot. By the time she reached Ling Kingdom, it would probably be winter.
Bai Wutong took advantage of the cheap cotton clothes and bought a few more sets.
Although she had very warm cotton clothes in the RV space, they were definitely not suitable in this world and would easily attract attention.
As long as it was something she needed daily, she would buy everything as the ones in her RV space were not suitable.
She carried her things and went out. Soon, she entered another medicinal store empty-handed.
Her experience in the post-apocalyptic world informed her that food, medicine, and weapons were the three main elements of survival.
Especially after the famine, it was easy for an epidemic to break out.
The medicine in her RV space was potent, but not much.
When the apocalypse arrived, the pharmaceutical factories had already stopped production.
The medicinal store was packed. Bai Wutong queued for a while before it was her turn.
She knew many recipes for daily ailments that were more economical and effective than those prescribed by doctors.
She directly asked one of the young staff to take out a lot of medicinal herbs for colds, fevers, diarrhea, headaches, pain relief, and prevention of plague. She also took a few bottles of medicine for external injuries and bleeding.
With these many herbs, it cost her 50 taels.
Seeing that she had bought so many kinds of herbs, the doctor frowned and said, “Aren’t you going to see a doctor?”
Bai Wutong thought of the bump on the back of her head and said, “I hit my head. I can’t remember some things.”
The doctor took her pulse and nagged for a long time because he wanted to prescribe her expensive herbs.
Bai Wutong was a little disappointed and waved her hand. “I’m here to get the medicine for my master.”
The doctor’s enthusiasm vanished. He didn’t even bother to look at her afterwards.
The horizon was already red when she left the medicinal store.
Bai Wutong wanted to hitch a ride from the escort agency.
After asking around all the way to the escort agency, she explained her intentions to the escort. However, the escort waved his hand and said, “Go, go, go.”
Logically speaking, now was a good time for the escort agency to earn money. There must be a big problem if they were unwilling to take the escort.
Bai Wutong produced a five- tael silver ingot and placed it in the arms of the escort, who frowned and was about to refuse.
Bai Wutong said, “Big Brother, I’m really afraid to travel alone. I just want to find out some things. If the road ahead is too difficult, I won’t look for my family.”
The escort’s expression softened a little as he tucked the silver ingot into his jacket. “Ask away.”
Bai Wutong got some more information.
She still had to pass through Beiyun City, Jiangyuan City, and Fengming City to reach Ling Kingdom.
In these three cities, not only were bandits rampant, but the groups of refugees were even more ferocious. Even if the goods from the escort agency were spared from the bandits, they could not resist the waves of desperate refugees.
Moreover, the closer they got to the Ling Kingdom, the more sensitive the authorities were. If the refugees seemed any suspicious, they would be treated as spies and killed.
Lin’an City was probably the last city they could enter.
After receiving the silver, the escort advised her, “You should think of a way to stay in Lin’an City alone.”
Bai Wutong nodded. “Thank you, Big Brother. I understand.”
It wouldn’t take long for Lin’an City to become chaotic. Without the escort agency, she would still have to set off as soon as possible.
Bai Wutong returned to the inn and packed all the food that had been sent to her room into her space. She decided to set off the next morning.
After drawing water and washing up, she turned off the lights and lay down on the bed to rest.
As she was in a daze, she heard a slight sound outside the door.
Bai Wutong snapped awake and hid in the corner of the bed, gripping her axe.
Someone picked the lock and two men in black crept in.
They were holding two large shiny knives in their hands. They went straight to the head of the bed and slashed at the soft blanket.
In the moment of shock, Bai Wutong appeared from behind. Once and twice, they were hit. The two of them fell to the ground almost at the same time, their eyes still wide with fear.
They did not seem to expect this outcome.
Bai Wutong did not intend to kill anyone, but if others wanted her life, she would never show mercy.
She pulled off the face masks on two of them. They were the waiter and the magistrate officer who had helped her with the household register.

Chapter 4: Call Me Wife
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes and searched them. Not only did she find the silver she had given previously, but she also found 12 taels more.
Unfortunately, the newly established household register could not be used.
Now that the city gates were closed, she couldn’t leave the inn. Bai Wutong dragged the two corpses under the bed and lay back to take a nap.
She had to rest. No matter how strong she was, she couldn’t take the fatigue.
Before dawn, she dressed herself up anew.
This time, she used a hair dye. She dyed her hair yellow and painted dark circles and spots, making her look like a malnourished little girl.
The kind that would definitely be forgotten when thrown into a sea of people.
Bai Wutong came out of the inn with an inconspicuous bag on her back. She had only taken a few steps when someone grabbed the hem of her dress. She turned around abruptly and met a pair of deep-set starry eyes.
The man she had coaxed smiled foolishly. “Mother~”
“…”
Why was he here?
How had he recognized her when she was dressed like this?
Lin’an City was so far away. How had he found her?
Bai Wutong looked puzzled. “Why are you here?”
“Mother, you didn’t come back, so Tianbao has come to look for you! Tianbao has been looking for you for a long time.” He smiled happily, but his extraordinarily handsome face was that of a fool.
Bai Wutong said sternly, “You’ve got the wrong person. I’m really not your mother.”
Regardless of whether it was before or now.
Tianbao blinked and said aggrievedly, “You’re clearly my mother!”
Bai Wutong covered her face. She really wasn’t his mother!
Who would rush towards someone to be their son?
Bai Wutong had no choice but to coax him again. “Tianbao, wait for me here for a while. Mother will be back soon, okay?”
However, this fool actually learned. He shook his head firmly. “I’ll go wherever Mother goes!”
He tugged at her on the street, but she couldn’t shake him off. Passers-by kept looking at them strangely.
Bai Wutong was speechless. Thinking of the two corpses under the inn bed, she had no choice but to drag this guy into an empty alley.
Bai Wutong looked him up and down.
The wounds on his head and chest were open and oozing blood. He was covered in mud and looked as miserable as a beggar.
But his gaze at her sparkled as if she really was his mother.
Bai Wutong frowned and thought for a long time. “Are you really going to follow me?”
Tianbao nodded profusely. “I’ll go wherever Mother goes. We’ll never be apart.”
If he was really a fool, good at martial arts, and obedient, he could stay.
When Bai Wutong figured it out, she reached into her bag and took out medicine and bandages from the RV space and out of her bag.
When others saw this, they would think that there was medicine in the bag.
Bai Wutong said, “Squat down. I’ll change your dressing.”
He was almost 1.9 meters tall. Bai Wutong was not extremely short but she barely reached his shoulders.
Tianbao squatted down obediently. Bai Wutong quickly took off his clothes and removed the bandage.
Fortunately, the wound had only opened a little. A simple treatment would take care of it.
“Rumble rumble~”
Tianbao held his stomach and blushed. “Mother, I’m so hungry.”
Bai Wutong took out two large steamed buns from her bag and stuffed them into his hands. While Tianbao ate, Bai Wutong changed his dressing.
After changing his dressing, Bai Wutong frowned at his tattered clothes. She took another set of clothes from the RV and held it in front of his eyes. “Put it on.”
Holding the clothes, Tianbao said pitifully, “Mother, I don’t know how to.”
Bai Wutong’s eyebrows twitched. She really wanted to pry open his brain and ask, ‘If you can kill people, why can’t you wear your own clothes?’
However, there was no need to stoop to the level of a fool.
And there was no need to waste time here.
As Bai Wutong dressed him, she reminded him, “I’ll help you this time. Next time, you have to wear it yourself, understand?”
Tianbao nodded with a red face. “Okay, Mother.”
Bai Wutong glanced at him and was satisfied. He was quite obedient.
Something fell out of his shirt with a clunk.
Bai Wutong picked it up. The word “Chu” was engraved in the middle of the jade tablet.
Bai Wutong asked, “Is this yours?”
Tianbao nodded. “Yes, I think so.”
‘What do you mean you think so!’
“Your name is Chu Tianbao, then?”
Tianbao thought for a moment. “I think so.”
“…”
Bai Wutong was speechless. She suddenly smiled and said, “Then I’ll keep it for you first.”
Such a big piece of jade was worth a lot of money. If she ran out of money, she could even pawn it and spend the money.
‘Think of it as payment for his meals.’
Chu Tianbao smiled foolishly. “Okay, Mother.”
Bai Wutong frowned. He should be in his twenties. Her body only belonged to a teen’s. If he was a few years older, he could even be her father. It was really not appropriate to call her mother.
Otherwise, she would have to acknowledge this cheap son.
Bai Wutong thought about it and requested Chu Tianbao, “Call me wife.”
In any case, she had no intention of getting married. Reputation was not important to her. He was her husband in name. Not only would they be able to settle down in Ling Kingdom, but he would also save her a lot of trouble.
The more she thought about it, the more she liked Chu Tianbao.
Chu Tianbao stared at Bai Wutong in confusion. “Why should I calling you my wife?”
Although he was a little dumb, he understood that a mother was different from a wife.
Bai Wutong couldn’t be bothered to explain and directly threatened, “If you want to stay, call me wife.”
Chu Tianbao was terrified. He grabbed the sleeve of Bai Wutong. “Mother, don’t leave Tianbao behind.”
Bai Wutong was determined. “Call me wife.”
Chu Tianbao corrected himself aggrievedly. “Wife.”
He looked timid and obedient.
Bai Wutong smirked. “Now that’s right.”
What a good thing it was for him to earn a beautiful wife who could provide food and accommodation for free.
When they reached the city gate, a few soldiers immediately came up and stopped them.
Bai Wutong looked calm on the surface, but she was panicking in her heart. They shouldn’t be able to discover her so quickly!
The leading soldier pointed at Chu Tianbao and said, “The emperor has issued a decree. All men who have reached 12 years old have to join the army. Now, follow me!”
There were some ugly people among the refugees. He had taken a fancy to a strong man like Chu Tianbao from afar.
Bai Wutong’s expression suddenly changed.
No wonder they were letting the refugees into the city. They were forcefully trying to recruit more soldiers into their army.
Chu Tianbao tugged at Bai Wutong’s sleeve and said nervously, “I don’t want to be separated from Mot-, Wife. Wife, don’t chase me away.”
The burly man grabbed her clothes and spoke in a disgusting manner.
The soldiers had looks of disdain on their faces as they imitated Chu Tianbao in a strange manner. “I don’t want to be separated from my wife~ Don’t chase me away~ Hahaha~”
“Bah! You disgust me.”
Chu Tianbao’s dark eyes had the reflection of Bai Wutong inside. His innocent appearance made him look especially easy to bully.
Displeasure flashed across Bai Wutong’s eyes. They were soldiers, but they did not dare to act rashly.
The two officers smirked and nudged Chu Tianbao.
When he touched Chu Tianbao’s wound, he gasped and shouted at Bai Wutong, “Wife, it hurts.”
Although Chu Tianbao called her his wife, Bai Wutong knew very well that he still treated her as his mother. He reached out pitifully for comfort.

Chapter 5: Found a Treasure
There was a burst of loud laughter.
“Wife~ It hurts~”
“How lucky. I don’t even have a wife yet.”
After saying that, some people’s lustful gazes landed on Bai Wutong.
They hadn’t realized it previously, but now that they looked at her, although this silly woman was a little ugly, she had a good figure.
A cold glint flashed across Bai Wutong’s eyes. She glanced at the many soldiers at the city gate and held Chu Tianbao’s hand tightly to comfort him. “Be good. It won’t hurt later.”
The leading soldier glared at Chu Tianbao and threatened him fiercely, “Coward! How can a soldier not suffer? You can’t even take this? You will definitely be the first to run away in a battle. If you dare to act like a sissy again, I’ll break your limbs and hang you on the city gate for three days and three nights.”
The man who had been forcibly grabbed heard this and glanced at the city wall in horror. Any thoughts of escape were extinguished.
Bai Wutong pursed her lips and suddenly said, “Sir, my husband doesn’t want this to happen either. It’s just that he encountered bandits and was seriously injured in the head and chest. He’s not in the right state of mind now. Even if he manages to go to the military camp, his days are numbered. He will only implicate you.”
“If you don’t believe me, you can look at my husband’s wound and see if I’m lying.”
“He really can’t join the army now. He’ll only waste food if he joins.”
The leading soldier did not listen at all. His face darkened and he pointed his saber at Chu Tianbao. “Cut the crap. Believe it or not, I’ll kill this fool now.”
The emperor had set a quota for every city. They had to capture enough men to expand the army. Who cared if they were injured or stupid? As long as Chu Tianbao was able-bodied, he had to go to the military camp.
Bai Wutong held Chu Tianbao’s hand tightly as her gaze landed on the city gate dozens of meters away. She considered the possibility of rushing out of the city gate with Chu Tianbao without using modern weapons. Was there a need to risk so much for Chu Tianbao?
Suddenly, someone stared at Bai Wutong and smiled wretchedly. He said solicitously, “Boss, our battalion still lacks a few female caretakers. Why don’t we let her go to the army with us? She can take care of her silly husband and serve our army. She’ll definitely be happy to do so.”
Bai Wutong’s head exploded, and the anger in her eyes was almost impossible to hide.
Although they said that she would become a caretaker, everyone knew that their plan was to forcefully kidnap innocent women to become prostitutes.
The leading soldier rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. His lecherous gaze wandered over Bai Wutong and he chuckled. “Who dares to disobey the laws serving the country?” He waved his hand and ordered, “Take them all away.”
The surrounding citizens hid far away, afraid that they would be implicated.
The soldiers had been waiting for him to say that. They rushed to take advantage of Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes and reached into her sleeves.
Before she could pull out the knife, Chu Tianbao, who had been bullied like a coward, had already twisted the necks of two soldiers in the blink of an eye.
The smiles hadn’t even left the soldiers’ face before they fell to the ground one after another, dead.
The soldiers stopped in their tracks. When they looked up, they realized that Chu Tianbao’s eyes were cold and terrifying, like a ferocious beast that could kill without batting an eyelid.
The leading soldier was surprised. His expression instantly turned ferocious as he shouted, “They’re traitors. Kill them!”
The soldiers swarmed forward. Bai Wutong did not hide anymore. She pulled out her sharp dagger and slit a soldier’s neck with lightning speed.
The soldier’s eyes bulged, and his body went limp, bleeding all over the floor. It was a ghastly sight.
They did not expect this woman to be so powerful. The soldiers raised their sabers and Chu Tianbao’s powerful leg swept down. They flew out with their sabers.
The leading soldier was even more convinced that they were traitors. If he caught them, he would definitely be promoted.
He shouted urgently to the soldiers guarding the gate. “Close the gate. Don’t let them get away.”
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes and grabbed Chu Tianbao’s hand. “Let’s rush out of the city now.”
The city gate was very huge and cumbersome to move. It would take more than ten people to close it together, giving them some time.
Chu Tianbao was even stronger than Bai Wutong had imagined. Without any weapons, he opened a path with his bare hands.
They were about to escape.
The leading soldier narrowed his eyes and ordered at Bai Wutong, “Kill that woman first.”
He could tell that Chu Tianbao treated Bai Wutong like it was his eyeball.
If he captured this woman, Chu Tianbao would definitely surrender.
The number of attacks aimed at Bai Wutong suddenly increased. She was not good at using daggers, and this body was weak. Seeing that a large saber was about to land on her back, she did not have time to dodge.
At the critical moment, Chu Tianbao quickly grabbed her waist and squeezed the blade tightly with one hand.
Scarlet blood flowed from between his fingers. Chu Tianbao didn’t care. Instead, he forcefully pulled the big knife out of the soldier’s hand and held it with his knee.
While Bai Wutong was stunned, Chu Tianbao had already slaughtered a large group of soldiers like melons when they swarmed up.
Bai Wutong looked at the corpses on the ground. She was not afraid. Instead, her chest was filled with surprise. Chu Tianbao was more powerful than a lethal machine gun. She had really found a treasure.
No matter how loudly the leading soldier shouted, they were still unable to stop Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong from fighting their way to the city gate.
He stamped his foot in exasperation. “Close the gates now! If they get away, I’ll kill all you useless people!”
The soldiers who were afraid of Chu Tianbao had no choice but to brace themselves and close the door.
Just as the city gate was about to close, Chu Tianbao picked up Bai Wutong and stepped on the heads and shoulders of the soldiers. He flew over and finally reflected the big saber back with a whoosh.
In the next second, the city gate closed heavily. Before the soldiers could panic that they had let the traitors escape, they realized that their leader’s throat had been pierced by a large knife.
He looked down in disbelief at the large knife that had pierced through his neck. He wanted to reach out and pull it out. He trembled twice before falling to the ground with an indignant expression.
…
In a hidden bush outside Lin’an City, Bai Wutong was applying medicine for Chu Tianbao.
The man with blood all over his hands cried, “Wife, it hurts~”
As heroic as he had been earlier, he was now…
Bai Wutong held his wrist that was fidgeting. “I am applying the medicine, don’t move!”
After cleaning it with saline, it was covered in a few centimeters of bloody wound.
One could only imagine how painful it must have been to catch a blade barehanded.
Bai Wutong carefully applied the medicine on him. He twisted like a maggot and screamed from time to time.
It was especially terrifying in the quiet forest.
Frowning, Bai Wutong pulled a milk-flavored candy from her pack and popped it into his mouth. “Don’t scream!”
The sweet milky taste melted between his lips and teeth. Tianbao immediately sat down obediently. No matter how Bai Wutong applied the bandages, there was no reaction at all.

Chapter 6: Why Are You On My Bed?
After treating Chu Tianbao’s injuries, Bai Wutong checked his injuries.
The chest wound had been stretched open again.
Bai Wutong sighed. It would be strange not to open again after killing so many people.
Bai Wutong stared at him and said, “Don’t casually kill people in the future.”
If there were more people that day, they might not have been able to escape unscathed.
Chu Tianbao’s mouth had the candy, so he said in a muffled voice, “But they bullied my wife.”
He clearly did not even understand what wife meant, yet he acted as if she was really his wife.
Bai Wutong was stunned for a moment and sighed. “Alright, they deserve to die.”
Even if Chu Tianbao didn’t do anything on behalf of her, she would have done it herself.
Chu Tianbao smiled beautifully. His eyes curved into crescents. He looked innocent.
Bai Wutong glanced at him and resigned herself to stitching Chu Tianbao’s wound again. Sensing that he was fidgeting again, she stuffed another milk candy into his mouth. It was more effective than anesthesia.
After a long time, she finally treated all the wounds on his body.
Bai Wutong stood up. Her back ached and her wrists ached. She was sweating, and her hair and clothes felt sticky against her body.
Chu Tianbao was not much better. Other than a pair of big bright eyes, he was covered in blood.
Bai Wutong really wanted to take a bath, have a comfortable meal, and sleep peacefully.
However, she could not enter the RV space. Bai Wutong could only think about it.
She did not dare to conjure the hot water in the RV space out of thin air. Bai Wutong took out a wet towel from her bag and washed Chu Tianbao’s face carefully.
When Chu Tianbao’s clean and handsome face was revealed, Bai Wutong glanced at the dirty towel in her hand and suddenly realized why she had to wash his face like an old maid.
Bai Wutong wanted to stuff the towel into his hand and let him do it himself. In the next second, he glanced at Chu Tianbao’s hands that had helped her block the blade. Then, she silently accepted her fate and gently wiped the blood off Chu Tianbao’s neck.
Chu Tianbao raised his neck comfortably, looking very satisfied with Bai Wutong’s dedicated service.
Scowling, Bai Wutong tossed him a fresh set of clothes. “Put these on yourself.” Then, she grabbed a fresh towel and washed her face.
When she wiped her face clean, she looked up and saw a handsome face close up on her.
It was so close that she could feel Chu Tianbao’s breath on her face. It was a numb and strange feeling.
Bai Wutong frowned and took two steps back. “What are you doing?”
Chu Tianbao raised his bandaged hand and said with a troubled expression, “Wife, I can’t wear it.”
Bai Wutong looked at the clothes in his arms and then at his hands. She picked them up and gritted her teeth. “I will dress you!”
“Alright, wife.” Chu Tianbao immediately stood firmly and stretched out his hand, skillfully waiting for Bai Wutong to help him put on his clothes.
Bai Wutong’s mind went blank. She really felt like an old maid!
After dressing him, Bai Wutong turned her back and changed her clothes.
She was wearing a sports bra inside, so she didn’t feel very exposed.
As soon as she turned around, she met Chu Tianbao’s especially curious gaze.
He was probably wondering why the Bai Wutong’s body structure was a little different from his.
Bai Wutong already had some understanding of his thoughts. When he tried to speak, she covered his mouth. “Shut up. I don’t want to hear you.”
Chu Tianbao looked at Bai Wutong aggrievedly and lowered his head.
Bai Wutong glanced at the sky, took out a meat bun, and handed it to Chu Tianbao. “Eat while you walk.”
They had just killed so many soldiers, so it was better to leave Lin’an City as soon as possible.
When Chu Tianbao saw the meat bun, his lowered head perked up again.
Bai Wutong took a bite of the bun and glanced at it from the corner of her eye. She saw that Chu Tianbao’s hand was empty and he was staring at the bun in her hand.
There was no one else who could be so good at eating.
Bai Wutong took out two more buns from her bag and instructed, “Eat slowly. Don’t choke.”
“Alright, wife.”
Then, he took another mouthful of half a bun.
Bai Wutong sighed. Fortunately, she had bought enough food in Lin’an City. Otherwise, she might not have been able to feed him.
Bai Wutong led Chu Tianbao into the large group of refugees. They were dressed in ordinary clothes and had disguises on their faces. They looked like an honest couple who had fled.
When they reached a narrow valley, the slowly moving refugee group was blocked.
Bai Wutong stood on her tiptoes and looked into the distance. She saw a group of soldiers blocking the valley ahead. From time to time, sharp cries could be heard.
Her heart skipped a beat. She felt that these soldiers were here for her and Chu Tianbao.
If they examined Chu Tianbao carefully, the injuries on his body would definitely be exposed.
She subconsciously looked at the forest beside her and pulled Chu Tianbao into it.
Even ancient roads were difficult to navigate, let alone forests.
However, there was a drought in the Yan Kingdom that year, so there was not much thorny vegetation. It was not too difficult for them to travel around.
They walked past two large mountains. When it was almost dark, Bai Wutong discovered a thatched hut where the hunters had stayed in.
She let Chu Tianbao stand guard while she carefully pushed open the door to take a look. She quickly conjured a thick blanket from the RV space and placed it on the simple bed in the straw hut. She hid a large axe and a large bag of dry food under the bed.
Then, she turned around and went out to pull Chu Tianbao in. She pretended to be surprised and said, “We’re in luck. The bed is relatively clean.” She looked under the bed again and dragged out the rations and ax she had just put in. She said happily, “Wow, there’s still so much here.”
Bai Wutong didn’t want to tell anyone about the space unless she trusted him enough in the future.
With that, she handed Chu Tianbao her dagger. “Use this for protection.” But she picked up the meter-long ax and gently stroked it twice. “I’ll use this.” She smiled.
Chu Tianbao had no objections. He held the small and sharp Swiss Army knife and said happily, “Thank you, wife.”
Bai Wutong bought a lot of food in Lin’an City. The poultry, vegetables, and fruits were expensive, and she was not afraid of not having enough space to store them, so she bought them generously.
For dinner, Bai Wutong boiled two eggs, three large red potatoes, and two sections of sausage.
She ate too little in this body. She ate an egg and couldn’t eat more than a few bites of sweet potato and sausage.
Chu Tianbao still looked hungry, so she handed him the rest of her food.
After dinner, Bai Wutong spread a blanket on the ground. “You can sleep here.” She threw him a shirt as a blanket.
Chu Tianbao looked at Bai Wutong pitifully. “Tianbao wants to sleep with my wife.”
Bai Wutong gave him a cold look. “If you don’t want to sleep here, go out and stand.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Tianbao fell to the ground with a whoosh. He covered his face with the clothes, leaving only two big black eyes looking at her carefully.
The corners of Bai Wutong’s mouth curled up imperceptibly. He really needed to be taught a lesson.
Bai Wutong tied a string of bells to the door. If someone pushed it open and pulled the red thread, they would be awakened.
As soon as she lay on the bed, Bai Wutong could not help but close her eyes.
Once she relaxed, the figure lying under the bed stood up without noticing.
In the early hours of the morning, Bai Wutong awoke to the heat.
Before she could open her eyes, she felt a burning sensation on her hand.
Bai Wutong’s eyes widened. She jumped up and pressed down hard. Her elbow was pressed against his throat like lightning.
The man beneath her did not resist. Bai Wutong could see his face clearly in the moonlight. Her grip suddenly loosened and she said unhappily, “Why are you in my bed?”
Chu Tianbao would have lost his head if she had not missed the axe.

Chapter 7: Let’s Find a Nest First
Chu Tianbao didn’t answer Bai Wutong and cried, “Wife, it hurts.”
Bai Wutong suddenly lowered her head and saw that her other hand was pressing against Chu Tianbao’s injured chest.
She could not be bothered to reprimand him. She quickly sat up and pulled open his collar.
Chu Tianbao’s firm chest muscles were exposed under the dark moonlight.
Bai Wutong pressed down with her hand, and Chu Tianbao shouted aggrievedly, “It hurts ~”
Bai Wutong looked speechless. “What are you shouting for? The wound isn’t open. Just in time, it’ll be dawn soon. After I change your dressing, we’ll be on our way.”
“Okay, Mother.”
“Wife,” Bai Wutong corrected him.
“Alright, wife.”
Chu Tianbao blinked obediently. Bright tears were still hanging on his curly eyelashes.
Bai Wutong looked at him and subconsciously changed the dressing much more gently. Her exquisite eyebrows appeared in his eyes, and her expression was abnormally gentle.
Chu Tianbao hissed from time to time, his hands gripping Bai Wutong’s clothes tightly.
When Bai Wutong began to wrap the bandage, he finally relaxed and asked, “Wife, where are we going?”
Bai Wutong glanced up at him. “Do you remember where your home is?”
Chu Tianbao shook his head. “My wife’s home is wherever my home is.”
Bai Wutong’s hands paused. After a while, she wrapped his clothes for him and said unhurriedly, “Alright, let’s find a nest first.”
“Sure.” Chu Tianbao smiled foolishly.
Bai Wutong stared at his harmless face and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. She seemed to have forgotten something.
What could it be…?
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao continued towards the next city.
She had asked around before. It would take at least half a month to reach Beiyun City by carriage. If she relied on her feet, she would have to walk for at least a month.
Crossing the mountains would probably take even longer.
Still, there were advantages to passing through the woods.
There was a pheasant in the distance. Chu Tianbao picked up a stone and threw it out casually. With a whoosh, the pheasant that had just flown up fell to the ground.
Bai Wutong said, “Go and pick it up.”
Due to the drought in the Yan Kingdom, there was almost no harvest. The prey in the forest were either frightened away or captured and eaten by the refugees.
They had been walking for so long, but they had only caught prey a few times.
Chu Tianbao went to pick up the pheasant. Bai Wutong took out a very small pot from her bag. She planned to cook some white porridge and roast the pheasant.
Chu Tianbao had just picked up the pheasant when a girl walked out of the bushes beside him.
She was about 15 or 16 years old. Her body was dry and her face was pretty.
She kept staring at the pheasant in Chu Tianbao’s hand and swallowed her saliva. She walked up to Chu Tianbao and said sweetly, “Big Brother~”
Chu Tianbao glanced at her sideways. His gaze pierced through the men and women behind the bushes and coldly passed Li Miaoyu, who was blocking his way.
Li Miaoyu was ignored. Li Dali, who was in the bushes, gave her a fierce look. She gritted her teeth again and chased after him. “Brother, I’m going to starve to death. Save me~”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the opportunity and fell into Chu Tianbao’s arms sickly.
Chu Tianbao frowned and dodged. Li Miaoyu fell to the ground and fell.
Li Miaoyu was the most beautiful girl in the village. All the men she wanted to seduce took the bait.
Not only was this dark-skinned man ugly, but he was also so ignorant.
It was infuriating.
Li Miaoyu got up hatefully. Her eyes were red as she shouted miserably at Chu Tianbao, “Big Brother, I beg you. I was the one who discovered this prey first.”
She refused to believe he’d put up with that.
However, not only did Chu Tianbao not turn around, but he even quickened his pace.
Li Dali rushed out of the bushes and shouted at Li Miaoyu, “Useless thing! If you don’t get a pheasant, I’ll sell you for food tomorrow.”
Li Miaoyu’s eyes were red and tears welled up in her eyes. She said weakly, “Brother, don’t sell me. I’ll go again now.” However, she had made up her mind. If Chu Tianbao was willing to let her eat the pheasant, she would run away with him. It would be better than being sold by them for food.
Li Miaoyu chased after him. When she turned a corner, she saw Chu Tianbao handing the pheasant to a young girl.
Other than being a little fatter than her and with a pockmarked face, she was nowhere near as good-looking as her.
She walked up to them in an imposing manner and said to Chu Tianbao righteously, “Brother, give me the pheasant as a betrothal gift. I’ll marry you.”
In the past, she did not even marry the other party when he offered two taels of silver as a betrothal gift.
If not for the fact that he was skilled and there was plain porridge cooking in a small pot on the ground, which meant that there was still food in the bag, she would not have allowed herself to stoop this low.
Bai Wutong sized up Li Miaoyu with interest. She looked gentle, but there was no warmth in her.
Chu Tianbao didn’t listen to Li Miaoyu at all. He stared at the pheasant in Bai Wutong’s hand and said softly, “Wife, I’m hungry.”
Bai Wutong said nothing, so Chu Tianbao tugged at her sleeve.
She wanted Bai Wutong to take out a piece of candy from her bag to fill his stomach as usual.
Out of habit, Bai Wutong pulled back her wrinkled sleeve. “Bear with it. The porridge will be ready soon.”
“Okay, wife.” Chu Tianbao looked obedient.
Chu Tianbao’s tone was clearly that of a fool. Disdain flashed across Li Miaoyu’s eyes. Thinking that a fool was easy to manipulate, she said anxiously, “If you marry me as your wife, I can also cook for you. I can even steam eggs and roast dumplings. As long as you like it, I can cook for you every day.” She had even planned the future so quickly that she didn’t care about Bai Wutong at all.
In her opinion, as long as Chu Tianbao was willing to marry her, Bai Wutong would definitely be his concubine.
She was so good-looking and willing to marry a fool, so how could Chu Tianbao turn her down.
Bai Wutong’s eyes darkened. She wanted Chu Tianbao to marry her, yet she also looked disdainful. She really didn’t know where she got her thick-skinned face from.
“Go away!”
Li Miaoyu widened her eyes in shock for a moment before shouting back in exasperation, “I’m talking to him, why are you interrupting!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Tianbao seemed to have transformed into a different person. He raised his dagger and was as ferocious as a beast ready to attack.
Li Miaoyu panicked. She didn’t expect Chu Tianbao to care so much about Bai Wutong. She was so hungry that she couldn’t take it lying down. She rolled her eyes and started accusing Chu Tianbao.
“He took advantage of me just now. I’m a virgin. Either marry me or compensate me with the pheasant and this pot of rice! Otherwise, I’ll sue you to the authorities!”
Bai Wutong sneered. “Don’t you know who’s taking advantage of whom?”
She had seen it clearly just now.
Li Miaoyu’s face turned red. Thinking of the consequences of not obtaining the pheasant and being sold by Li Dali, she simply sat on the ground and said shamelessly, “If you don’t give me the pheasant and porridge, I’ll bang my head against the wall and die here. Anyway, I’ve already lost my innocence. There’s no point in living anymore. My parents will definitely seek justice for me!”
Bai Wutong couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on her. She neatly pulled out the axe from her waist. With a whoosh, the sharp axe swung out with lightning speed and was placed on Li Miaoyu’s neck in the blink of an eye.
“Anyway, your innocence is gone. Why don’t I grant you your wish so that you can complain to Hades?”

Chapter 8: Misfortune Jinx
The cold axe was placed on her neck and formed a small cut on her skin. She felt a sizzling pain as if her head would fall to the ground in the next second. Li Miaoyu’s face turned pale.
Her legs trembled as she stuttered in panic. “Murderer. You have to pay for murder. My brother is right behind. He won’t let you go.”
Bai Wutong glanced at her casually. “Oh, just in time to kill a pair.” As if killing someone was as easy as eating.
She exerted a little force on her hand, and Li Miaoyu’s wound deepened. The subtle smell of blood suddenly magnified dozens of times.
Bai Wutong was really daring!
Li Miaoyu was finally afraid. Her legs went limp and she staggered to the ground. She crawled up and shouted as she ran, “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me…”
Bai Wutong watched her piss herself and dive into the bushes. With a snort of laughter, she hung the axe back on her hip and sat on the ground, stirring the porridge in the small pot.
Chu Tianbao squatted down like her and looked eagerly at the small pot.
Bai Wutong gave him a sidelong glance and raised the spoon. Chu Tianbao’s eyes lit up as he craned his neck and opened his mouth, waiting for Bai Wutong to feed him.
A smile flashed in Bai Wutong’s eyes. She waved the spoon around in front of his mouth and put it back into the pot.
Chu Tianbao pouted like a poor dog who had not eaten.
Bai Wutong smiled. “Stupid. It’s not cooked yet.” Then she skillfully took a mint from her pocket and threw it into his mouth.
He was following her and helping others count money after being sold.
Bai Wutong had planned to have some porridge, pickles, and roast pheasant here when Li Miaoyu suddenly appeared and interrupted her plan.
When the rice porridge was ready, she spooned it into a water bag she could always drink from and handed it to Chu Tianbao. “Eat as we go.”
As Chu Tianbao took it, a group of men, women, and children rushed over.
Li Dali’s gaze landed on the pheasant, his face filled with greed. Relying on their advantage in numbers, he pointed at them aggressively. “If you know what’s good for you, hand over everything. Otherwise…”
Li Miaoyu pointed at Bai Wutong Tree and said excitedly, “Brother, look at their bulging bags. They were cooking white rice here just now! Other than food, there must be silver!”
As long as they had money and food, Li Dali would not sell her.
Upon hearing the words “white rice, food, and silver”, these hungry people felt as if they had been injected with spiritual energy. Their faces were flushed with greed.
The child in the woman’s arms clapped happily when he saw the pheasant on the ground. “Father, I want chicken. I want chicken now.”
Li Dali raised his sickle and said confidently, “Be good. I’ll give you chicken later.”
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were alone, but they had two adult men and three women. If they dared to resist, no one would know even if they killed them in the wilderness.
Li Dali’s killing intent rose. Chu Tianbao also raised his dagger. He looked at Bai Wutong and asked innocently, “Wife, can I kill them?” It was as if killing all of them was as simple as killing chickens.
Li Dali’s heart skipped a beat and he looked at Chu Tianbao warily.
He had never killed anyone before, but against the strong Chu Tianbao, he was actually still weak. Otherwise, he would have directly gone up to snatch from them instead of letting Li Miaoyu use some honey trap.
Li Miaoyu said anxiously, “What are you afraid of? He’s just a fool. Surround him with Father. We’ll go and snatch the bag.”
Bai Wutong smiled coldly and looked at Li Miaoyu. “You’re quite bold.”
A fifteen-year-old girl not only proposed personally, but also dared to order others to kill them.
Li Miaoyu scolded angrily, “Ugly freak, why are you being so sarcastic? Do you believe that I’ll cut your face apart!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Tianbao suddenly appeared in front of her. He was so fast that she couldn’t even see him clearly. With a whoosh, the sharp knife slashed past. She didn’t even feel any pain. A few centimeters of blood appeared on her delicate face. It extended from her glabella to the corner of her mouth. Her skin was lacerated and her flesh was bleeding. It was terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Tianbao returned to Bai Wutong’s side like a ghost. He was still holding the dripping dagger in his hand. His cold expression did not look like a fool at all. He was clearly a ferocious wolf!
The Li family members stood there in horror, their hearts almost jumping out of their throats.
Li Miaoyu, whose face was itchy and dazed, subconsciously raised her hand to touch it. Her hand was covered in blood. She immediately cried out in horror, “Ahhh… My face, my face…”
Bai Wutong glanced coldly at the frightened Li family members. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood-stained dagger in Chu Tianbao’s hand clean.
Chu Tianbao put his well-defined hand in front of Bai Wutong and said innocently, “Wife, wipe it.”
There was also a little blood on his hands.
Bai Wutonglooked at him crossly. ‘He’s so delicate. I really shouldn’t indulge him.’
Then, as if he had done it a thousand times, he returned the cleaned dagger to his waist and replaced it with a clean handkerchief and wiped his hands carefully.
At this moment, the Li family deeply realized that Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao completely regarded them as ants that could be killed at any time.
When they saw Li Miaoyu kneeling on the ground and crying miserably, the Li family’s defense line completely collapsed. They hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged, “Swordswoman, swordsman, please spare us, spare us…”
Bai Wutong glanced at the trembling child in the woman’s arms and said to Chu Tianbao, “Let’s go.”
Chu Tianbao immediately picked up the bag, picked up the pheasant, and chased after Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao’s figures completely disappeared. Only then did the Li family dare to collapse to the ground and let out a long breath.
Li Miaoyu was still crying miserably at the side. “Mother, find me a doctor, a doctor!”
Li Dali thought about how he had almost lost his life just now. Yet she still wanted to find a doctor. Did she really think she was made of gold?
With nowhere to vent his anger, Li Dali kicked Li Miaoyu in the chest. “You jinx, your whole family was almost killed by you!”
Li Miaoyu screamed. “I did it for everyone!”
Madam Li frowned and sighed. “If we don’t have enough to eat today, what are we going to do tomorrow?”
Li Dali’s gaze landed on Li Miaoyu’s face again, and the resentment in his heart became even stronger. “Li Miaoyu has become like a ghost. No one would even want her for half a catty of food. Bringing her along is a burden. Strip her clothes and let’s go.”
Li Miaoyu’s eyes widened and she clutched her chest in fear. “I’m your biological sister. How can you do this to me!”
Li Dali sneered. “It’s a waste of food for you to be alive now.”
It was her child after all. Mother Li couldn’t bear it. She wiped her tears and said, “Dali, listen to me. Leave the clothes for her.”
Li Miaoyu didn’t feel touched at all. She only felt cold all over. Even her mother was about to give up on her.
She roared with all her might, “Why are you treating me like this! These days, I was the one who had exchanged for the food. Without me, you would have starved to death! You’re heartless. I was unlucky to be born in the Li family…”
“Pa~”
Li Miaoyu raised her head in a daze after being slapped by Father Li.
“Evil creature, I should have drowned you alive when I gave birth to you.”
“Let’s go!”
After the Li family dragged their belongings away, Li Miaoyu got up in fear and staggered after them.
If she did not have the protection of the Li family, she would really be finished.
