Chapter 275: Temporary Stop While Traveling the World

“Many thanks, Sir.” Ning Shu put away the silver and worked together with Yue Lan to get the hidden guard back onto the cart. They then headed outside of the city.

Ning Shu and Yue Lan ran practically at flying speeds with the cart. Qi Sheng’s brows lifted as he watched. He suddenly felt like he had been swindled. He, the one nicknamed Fox Qi, had actually been tricked by someone?

When they got to the forest outside the city, Ning Shu lifted the straw mat and patted the hidden guard’s face as she said, “Hey, wake up, wake up!”

Yue Lan’s face was a little pale as she asked, “Miss, could it be that he’s really dead?”

Then, Yue Lan also joined the slapping team and started slapping the hidden guard as she cried, “Wake up ah, wake up!”

After a good while, the hidden guard coughed softly and woke up. His originally square face had swollen up and become much rounder.

The hidden guard touched his face and asked, “What did you guys do?”

“Wuuwuwuu, you’re finally awake! We thought you were dead!” Yue Lan started crying from relief. “Without your protection, what are we supposed to do?”

The hidden guard continued rubbing his face, then grimaced. “I used the Turtle Breathing Technique to hold my breath. Otherwise, we would have been exposed.”

“After you stepped on me, my internal injury worsened again. I had gotten injured before from fighting with that general,” explained the hidden guard.

Ning Shu was immediately hit with remorse. “You should hurry and go treat yourself. Go buy whatever medicine you need. Didn’t I give you a lot of money before?”

“That money belongs to you, Miss. How could I casually use it?” said the hidden guard.

Ning Shu’s impression of the hidden guard improved by a huge bound. She said, “Don’t worry, use as much as you need to recover from your injury. There’s nothing more important than one’s health.”

Yue Lan also loosened a breath in relief when the hidden guard woke up. She and the miss were both women, so having a man that knew martial arts with them made her feel a lot safer, especially since her miss was so delicate and frail.

Ning Shu and Yue Lan changed into slightly better quality cotton garments. Ning Shu then applied makeup, drawing on herself a very large bloody-looking mouth and thick eyebrows. She even added a black mole to her chin in order to make herself look as vulgar as possible.

“Aaaah! …you’re… Miss?” Yue Lan screamed so loud all the birds in the forest took flight.

“Miss, what exactly is wrong? Why are you abusing yourself this way?” Yue Lan looked at Ning Shu with heartache on her face.

Ning Shu felt that it was emotionally exhausting to have a maid like this with her.

“Why did you work so hard to get into Qi Residence? Could it be that you want to be a maid for the rest of your life?” The hidden guard furrowed his brows.

Ning Shu waved and said, “My wish is to travel the world. This is just a temporary stop for me. Once the time comes, I’ll be leaving.”

After a few days, Ning Shu went with Yue Lan to Qi Residence while the hidden guard protected them from the shadows.

When they got to the residence doors, Ning Shu grinned towards the young man that was guarding the door and said cordially, “Can you help us pass on a message? Let the master of this residence know that we have come to repay his grace.”

The young man guarding the door had been taken aback by Ning Shu’s bloody red smile. After a brief moment of shock, he said, “Where did this ugly girl come from? You must have been enchanted by my young master’s looks, but you actually hope to catch my young master’s attention with looks like yours? You’re sure fanciful.”

Ning Shu: You’re even more fanciful.
