The guard raised the silver coins Nian Jiaojiao handed over and said sternly,
“What are you doing? What are you trying to do? Trying to bribe me? That’s the greatest insult!”
With that, she threw the silver back in anger.
Nian Jiaojiao: ???
This path was blocked, so they retreated to a street corner.
“What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?”
Tong Fu repeated the words like a broken record, then slapped herself hard.
*Slap—*
The crisp sound startled Nian Jiaojiao.
“Xiao Fu, what are you doing?”
Nian Jiaojiao stopped Tong Fu’s hand as she was about to slap herself again.
Tong Fu said, distraught,
“It’s all my fault, all my fault. I’m the one who took my brother out, but I let him come back alone.
If I had come back with him, this wouldn’t have happened…”
As she spoke, Tong Fu burst into tears.
Nian Jiaojiao sighed.
With things as they were, she had no choice but to try.
However, this was her first time using her "object manipulation" ability, and she wasn’t very confident.
So, she turned to Nan Qing and said,
“Lend me your clothes.”
Nan Qing was confused but knew this wasn’t the time for questions, so he immediately started to untie his outer garment.
“No need!”
Nian Jiaojiao stopped him, then crouched down and gently pulled a long strip of white cloth from Nan Qing’s white skirt.
Since the cloth was torn horizontally, Nan Qing’s skirt only looked a bit shorter than before.
Then, she turned to Xuan Yi and said,
“I recall you always carry a dagger with you, right?”
Xuan Yi nodded and took a dagger from his怀o.
Taking the dagger, Nian Jiaojiao, without hesitation, cut her right index finger.
“Jiaojiao!”
“Wife Lord!”
“Wife Lord!”
“Wife Lord!”
“Wife Lord!”
Nian Jiaojiao didn’t respond. Under the moonlight, she bent her head and wrote on the white cloth:
*Tuhua shang bi sun chuan qiang*
After finishing, she looked up and said,
“I didn’t bring paper or a brush, so this is the best I can do.”
With that, she led them towards an unoccupied section of the city wall.
Aside from the guards at the gate and on top of the gate, there were no guards elsewhere.
After all, she would likely be the first person in Da Yue to pass through a wall using this method.
Thinking this, Nian Jiaojiao instructed them,
“If I succeed in passing through, you all go home and wait for me, understand?”
Tong Fu was so shocked she had forgotten to cry.
Was Jiaojiao crazy?
What was she talking about?
How could a person pass through a wall?
Compared to Tong Fu, the other four men were much calmer.
They all bid Nian Jiaojiao farewell with looks of belief.
“Wife Lord, be careful.”
“We’ll go straight home immediately, don’t worry.”
Before Tong Fu could ask, Nian Jiaojiao solemnly looked at the bloody characters she had just written and whispered,
“Tuhua shang bi sun chuan qiang.”
With that, Nian Jiaojiao reached out her hand towards the cold city wall.
Instantly.
Her fingers bloomed, and as the flowers transformed into shoots, the city wall seemed to develop a crack.
Nian Jiaojiao felt a pulling force and passed through the wall.
After she was completely through, the city wall became intact again, with no flowers or shoots, as if everything that had happened was an illusion.
Tong Fu: !!!
…
Southern Suburbs.
Dense Forest.
Tong Ziyao had been chased by Nian Zhenzhen for a while, but the person behind him was relentless.
A man’s stamina was no match for a woman’s, especially with the difficult terrain in the forest.
With one careless step, he tripped over a stone.
Seeing him fall, Nian Zhenzhen seized the opportunity, quickened her pace, and soon approached Tong Ziyao with a ferocious expression.
Tong Ziyao turned around, and the exposed woman was now in front of him.
Although he wanted to gouge out his own eyes, he lowered his head and asked unwillingly,
“We have no enmity, why have you kidnapped me?”
Hearing the question, Nian Zhenzhen stopped her action of bending down to pull him.
Thinking that the man could not escape anyway, Nian Zhenzhen began to vent loudly:
“You ask me? I should be asking you! Why did you do this to me? Why did your sister do this to me?”
Hearing her mention Tong Fu, Tong Ziyao softly said,
“My sister?”
“That’s right! Your sister!”
Nian Zhenzhen pointed at Tong Ziyao and said fiercely,
“Hahaha, if it weren’t for your sister, why would you be suffering like this? So, if you want to blame someone, blame your sister!”
Sensing the woman’s madness, Tong Ziyao’s heart trembled, but to stall for time, he continued to ask,
“My sister has always been kind to others, how could she have offended you?”
At this moment, Nian Zhenzhen crouched down, twisted Tong Ziyao’s head with her hands, forcing him to look at her:
“She stole my man, do you think that’s not a big enough offense?”
Tong Ziyao naturally didn’t believe her.
He had seen Young Master Huang, and he couldn’t imagine someone like that fancying this woman.
He suspected that the woman before him was a case of unrequited love, turning into hatred.
As Tong Ziyao was thinking, Nian Zhenzhen suddenly sat on top of him.
Tong Ziyao could no longer pretend to be calm. He struggled desperately:
“What are you doing?”
Nian Zhenzhen, while restraining him, said,
“What am I doing? Your sister stole my man, so she’ll pay with her own brother!”
*Rip—*
Tong Ziyao’s collar was torn open.
At this moment, despair appeared on his face.
In contrast, Nian Zhenzhen’s face lit up with excitement.
She hadn’t expected that the man’s brother would be no less attractive than Young Master Huang; setting aside their status, he was even more beautiful than Young Master Huang.
Just as Nian Zhenzhen reached for Tong Ziyao’s belt with his face ashen with despair.
*Bang!!!*
Before Nian Zhenzhen could react, she was kicked five meters away by Nian Jiaojiao, who had arrived.
Her back hit the trunk of a tree, and she fell down with it, spitting out a mouthful of blood, unable to move for a long time.
“Young Master Tong, are you alright?”
Nian Jiaojiao did not continue to trouble Nian Zhenzhen but quickly went to check on Tong Ziyao.
Unexpectedly, Tong Ziyao flinched away from the hand Nian Jiaojiao extended.
Nian Jiaojiao squatted down, allowing him to see her clearly, and said softly,
“Young Master Tong, it’s me, Nian Jiaojiao.”
After speaking, she tried to help him up.
However, Tong Ziyao reacted violently:
“Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!”
As he spoke, he looked up, revealing tear-streaked cheeks, which made Nian Jiaojiao’s body tremble.
“Because… I’m dirty…”
His last words made Nian Jiaojiao’s heart ache.
At this moment, his undergarments were half undone, clearly revealing his fair chest and prominent collarbones.
But this vivid and alluring scene only deepened Nian Jiaojiao’s anger towards Nian Zhenzhen.
She quickly embraced Tong Ziyao, pulled his clothes tighter, and patted his back, saying,
“No, you’re not dirty. I arrived, and nothing has happened yet.” httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Tong Ziyao wanted to break free from her embrace but lacked the strength, so he could only muffle his voice in Nian Jiaojiao’s arms,
“She saw my body, I already…”
“Don’t worry, her eyes will soon be no longer on her.” Nian Jiaojiao interrupted.
