CHAPTER 1131: 1209: HE HAS A CHARMING FACE

"Big brother, how much longer do we have to walk?"

"Not far, just up ahead at the Sky Mountain. Someone saw the Wolf King hiding in the mountain."

"Big brother, you’re a man, why are you out here in the middle of the night?"

"Little lady, you’re not from around here, are you? That’s how we are in the Northwest! Those men down south stay tucked inside their homes, but Northwest men have to do women’s work too, providing for the family and whatnot, unless a rare household doesn’t want their men to be seen outside. But that’s not common."

"I just noticed, there seem to be quite a number of other outsiders too? Each of them looks tall and strong, a bit like they’re from Dajin, maybe?"

"Dajin? Aren’t they at war right now? I wouldn’t know, but in Dayuan, there used to be some who married into Dajin, so their children look a little different from locals."

"Ah, I see, big brother, you’re a good person!"

Dong Huiying retreated back and whispered with Shujun. "The destination should be that mountain up ahead. I’ll call Xiao Hua out later. I’m freezing to death here, but Xiao Hua is lively."

Shujun hugged her subtly, and she snuggled her face into Shujun’s embrace. Her eyes twinkled slightly with an innocent fierceness, "We still have quite some time, but I noticed those suspicious ones have good skills. This is something I’ll have to handle. Here, keep this with you to protect yourself. I’ll also have Xiao Hua keep an eye on you. It might not be likely, but if any of them suspect us and target you, that wouldn’t be good..."

Shujun chuckled, "Xiao Hui, you’re really considerate, but your husband isn’t that delicate." He had a charming face but was someone who had battled fierce bears before.

She burst into laughter, "Alright, alright, you’re the strongest!"

Then, without making a sound, she began weaving through the large group. Whenever she encountered someone suspicious—whose gaze and demeanor seemed off—she would flick her fingers, and a small black particle would land on them.

These tiny black particles were something she’d used against Pei Yu in the past and had also used on others. Given the number of people here, regular Gu wouldn’t be enough, but these, even individually—just tiny black insects—didn’t have a significant impact, nor could they strip someone to bones. However, with the right timing, they could have quite an unexpected effect.

She moved around the crowd for half an hour, returning to Shujun drenched in sweat.

They were currently near the front of the large group. Shujun looked at the nearby carriage, "I’ve always been curious about who is inside that carriage. Could it be the leader?"

Dong Huiying glanced at the carriage, "Possibly..." She touched her chin. With the snowy cold over these days, the weight she’d put on in Jiangnan had all fallen off, and now her sharp chin was showing.

She suddenly shook her sleeves, and a small bee flitted toward the carriage.

Shu Yu asked, "What if you make a mistake?"

She squinted her eyes playfully, "Better to make a mistake than miss it!"

Besides, although the Bee Gu is poisonous, it won’t kill instantly. So if there is a mistake, she can always detoxify it for them.
