Chapter 7, Goodbye, otherwise you will become a zombie
The man nodded slightly: "Anything is fine."
She swore that she absolutely had no intention of extorting anyone. She wanted him to state for himself how much he was worth
Youming Mountain, commonly known as Ghost Mountain, is named for a place here called Luanfenggang, where corpses are often brought and discarded. Moreover, the dense trees and shrubs of Youming Mountain create an atmosphere that is eerie and terrifying, even during the tranquil nights. Even under the bright sunlight of day, Youming Mountain appears particularly cold and sinister, as the thick foliage completely prevents sunlight from penetrating.
Shen Qianzi squinted her eyes, peering through her hair at his irresistibly enchanting gaze in the night: "Any conditions are acceptable?"
Looking at the few corpses that had saved her life, she clasped her hands together and bowed to them, murmuring incantations under her breath
She is really wanting to curse someone right now, if only she had known that she should have gone to the capital this afternoon!
Yue Qincheng's narrow eyes twitched slightly, and then his thin lips curled into a faint smile, enchanting and unparalleled, yet subtly carrying an emotion that was difficult to decipher
Are these two, the master and servant, being too excessive
She is now certain of only one thing: those people are neither his subordinates nor are they here to hunt her down. If it were either of those two scenarios, they would not have brought themselves to such a remote place. Since they had already discovered her hiding in the branches, they would have certainly sent someone to confront her long ago
It was only when she realized that there was no one around that Shen Qianzi let out a heavy sigh of relief and slowly maneuvered herself out from beneath several rigid corpses
It is not that she wants to lose her temper, but rather that she cannot help but want to lose her temper
What are you two doing on my territory? Damn it, she is really feeling the urge to curse right now
If one were to ask what Shen Qianzi currently dislikes the most, it would undoubtedly be these meddlesome master and servant. Although the coward's voice has become very gentle and polite, she still does not wish to show them any kindness. Therefore, without turning her head, she resentfully said: "I am asking them not to let me become a zombie. These people have been dead for quite some time, and their bodies are filled with corpse poison. You two should hurry over and pay your respects; otherwise, if you turn into zombies from inhaling the corpse poison, don't blame me!"
The foreign light in the dark mountains persisted until just before dawn before it finally disappeared
She now seriously suspects that those menacing individuals are targeting these two people
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianzi immediately glared over. Dressed as a female ghost, her hair covered most of her face. Although her wide-open eyes were not visible with that glare, it inexplicably sent a chill down Yang Zhi's spine
If the young lady is willing to lend me a helping hand, I can fulfill one condition for her
Damn it, do you all think I am a god? So many people, where the hell can they escape? This mountain is only this big, where can they run to?
He, in his pride, attracted her with his success, while simultaneously mocking her arrogant words
Is it that the prince thinks he has not handled the matter well, and therefore summoned his subordinates to kill her in an attempt to reclaim the silver notes
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianzi's anger subsided somewhat. She turned to look at the man, whose calmness was uncertain whether it was genuine or feigned, and asked, "How much silver can you offer for me to save you?"
She furrowed her brow and quickly jumped down from the tree branch, rushing towards that direction, but there was nothing in the thicket
No way, right
"Who are those people coming for you?" Ignoring the man's subtle mockery, she asked coldly
What should I do
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianzi quickly rolled her eyes. After a moment, she nodded: "In light of the fact that we have made a deal, I will trust you this once. However, you must remember that deceiving me will not end well for you; otherwise, I will certainly make you suffer the same fate as that magistrate."
It was only when she caught up with the two shadows and clearly saw the other party that she suddenly became furious
What is the situation? Why is there such an intense atmosphere?
"Miss, what are you doing?" Behind her came the voice of that coward, who seemed to be much more polite, perhaps because he had been saved by Shen Qianzi.
She had seven bullets, sold one bullet for two thousand taels of silver to kill that governor, and now has six bullets left. Even if she is a sharpshooter, it is impossible for her to eliminate everyone with just six bullets right
It was only when the figure gradually approached that Shen Qianzi suddenly frowned, harboring doubts.
Stay here, it's fine now. So many people have come to the Nether Mountain, and now this man has led her to a place. If those people really come to kill him, wouldn't they have to kill her as well?
Not far away, there were torches discarded by someone, emitting a faint glow, yet it was sufficient for her to see everything around her clearly
The night was too dark, yet Shen Qianzi still discerned the pride and mockery emanating from that stunningly beautiful face.
As danger loomed closer, Yang Zhi grew anxious and no longer cared about her rude and disrespectful insults: "Miss, you are more familiar with the Ghostly Mountain. Please think of a way for us to evade those pursuers. As long as you can help our prince escape the mountain, whatever you desire, our prince will agree to it."
She has already been used by that man once, and now she is still being used; anyone would feel aggrieved in such a situation
However, if it is not explained this way, then why are there so many people appearing in the Nether Mountain? Moreover, that killing intent can be felt from a distance, particularly unsettling, and her back has started to feel cold again
She now has a strong impulse to shoot this man dead
Just as Shen Qianzi was rapidly turning her mind, a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes to her right.
A man, who exuded elegance and charm even in the night, smiled faintly and said: "Miss, I do not understand your words. This Mount Youming is part of my Longnan Kingdom; when did it become your territory?"
Miss, please think of a way to help us escape this calamity
Even when faced with inexplicable time-travel events, she still subconsciously does not believe in the existence of such things in the world
Just as she was grinding her teeth, contemplating how to vent her anger at being innocently caught up in danger, the coward she despised spoke up
How could Yue Qincheng not discern the meaning behind her words? The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. In the darkness, his elongated black eyes were both sensual and profound. It was unclear what he was thinking, as his subordinates beside him were already anxious to the point of almost jumping, yet his demeanor was so calm that it felt as if they were engaged in a mundane conversation.
Just as she was feeling suspicious and somewhat uneasy, two shadows suddenly flashed past the corner of her eye. She swiftly scanned the area and immediately gave chase.
Therefore, she would naturally regard those two shadows as people
Is it really for the sake of two thousand taels of silver notes that they are pursuing her?
As a modern criminal police officer, Shen Qianzi naturally does not believe in the supernatural. She has always felt that she is filled with a sense of justice, and her righteous spirit can ward off evil and exorcise demons, because she... is a good police officer
