Chapter 2, The Mysterious "Miss Be"

What are you doing

The two were startled and looked up, only to see her. Their expressions changed dramatically, and they relaxed their grip. The little chick let out a cry and broke free, without saying a word, it raised its hind legs and urinated on the two.

Before she regained consciousness, someone changed her clothes, someone administered medication to her, and someone packed her luggage. Then she opened her eyes, and the sky of the liberated area had changed.

In an instant, it seemed as though there was a telepathic connection with the small creature in my arms; both of us felt each other's loneliness, anxiety, confusion about the future, and the unsettling ignorance of the present situation

Jun Ke gazed at the white flag trembling nervously in the wind, and her heart immediately softened. She thought of how it had lost its master and was now dependent on her, having narrowly escaped death at the hands of others. Such a fright was more than enough. She crouched down, picked up the little chick, and pressed her face against its soft white feathers.

Two servants trembled; now, the most important thing for the entire household is that this "young lady" believes she is indeed a young lady. We absolutely cannot let her have the slightest doubt. At this point, they didn't even dare to wipe themselves, quickly raising their heads with flattering smiles to explain: "... it’s not that, we were just thinking of giving the dog a bath..."

The world is vast, yet faces are strangers to one another. Swords and blades gleam ominously in the shadows, while close friends and confidants are scattered like drifting duckweed, unaware of where the winds of fate will carry them.

They must think that by making her take this medicine, she would lose her senses and truly believe she is "Miss Zhou". No wonder they all act so calmly in front of her, unafraid of being exposed.

Jun Ke immediately stepped outside, where the buildings loomed one after another, with no sign of a person in sight. She paused in front of the corridor, her eyes already piercing through the decorative wall and flower screen before her, reaching into a corner behind the wall.

After Junke understood this identity, her doubts deepened. The young lady of the Zhou family is considered a highborn lady in the Jibei region; how could she be replaced by someone else? Where is the real Miss Zhou?

Thus, even knowing that the atmosphere was not right, she planned to endure it, enduring until a complete disguise was ruthlessly torn apart by the hand of truth

The pampered chick, unaccustomed to a life in another world without air conditioning, television, dog bones, toys, and Tai Shilan, showed indifference towards her surroundings, constantly thinking about escaping. The moment Jun Ke was lost in thought, the chick had already vanished.

Jun Ke tied the seventh knot on the red silk cord hanging down from the bed canopy

The maid was restless, and Jun Ke also felt her own anxiety. She was closely monitored and could not step out of the courtyard. She was well aware of all the most vulnerable points in the human skeletal structure, yet she had no confidence in breaking the bones of the dozens of strong men inside and outside the courtyard. Without being able to leave the courtyard, she could not retrieve her luggage. Those scattered items were her most important possessions in that world; only with them could she maintain her connection to the modern world. She was still hoping to rely on those items to find her close friends. Without being able to leave the courtyard, she could not retrieve her luggage.

She was not wearing shoes, and her soft socks brushed against the back of the other person's hand. This was an action that a refined young lady could never undertake. A man touching a woman's bare foot was also considered inappropriate. The two servants sensed something was amiss, and in an instant, their expressions changed; they pressed their hands into the ground and dared not move.

Dressed in brocade and enjoying sumptuous food, one lives in comfort and honor, yet secretly faces an impending crisis, like a haze cloud about to drift overhead

For instance, the medicine she needs to take daily, according to the maid, is a supplement for beauty and skin nourishment. When she tentatively took a sip for the first time, she soon felt a slight dizziness, suddenly realizing that this was an ancient version of a love potion—rendering one’s mind chaotic and consciousness hazy

There, two shadows are reflected, crouching down with their heads lowered, making an effort to hold down a struggling living creature

Jun Ke recognized from the silhouette that it was the One Chicken

The night was tranquil, yet there seemed to be faint sounds coming from outside the courtyard, as if someone was softly weeping. Suddenly, there was a commotion at the nearby door, followed by a loud thud, as if someone had been heavily thrown down.

Jun Ke, with a composed expression, finally spoke word by word after the dog had focused its attention: "Do you want to see Tai Shi again"

This beast possesses great strength

The little chick was filled with tears of emotion

Do you want to hear her call you once more, Comrade Yuri Shalik Alekseyevich Pogolovsky

"Starting today, you are not allowed to step outside without permission." Jun Ke said sternly, "Otherwise, when I see Tai Shi, I will inform her of your misdeeds and have you expelled from the Tai Shi faction."

This is how she feels now

The life at the Zhou household these days is marked by an unusual calmness. She has not seen General Zhou, as it is said that there are movements within the court, and General Zhou has been busy with official matters, not having returned home for a long time. Madame Zhou visited her once, displaying a kind and affectionate demeanor, truly like that of a "mother." However, Junke sensitively felt that Madame Zhou's gaze towards her always carried a hint of strangeness—vigilance, concern, doubt, and unease... a very complex array of emotions. Her attitude was kind and affectionate, truly like that of a "mother," yet Junke keenly sensed that Madame Zhou's gaze towards her always held a touch of peculiarity—vigilance, concern, doubt, and unease... a very complex array of emotions.

Jun Ke did not pay much attention, as the little chick would return on its own after playing for a while. However, she suddenly saw her maid, Hong Yan, peek her head in, take a glance at her, and then quickly withdraw.

Jun Ke sniffed the slightly sour aroma of the medicinal soup and let out a cold laugh

To live a life of luxury and indulgence is indeed appealing, but the prerequisite is to have the means to sustain it. Given the current peculiar circumstances, this seems difficult.

In ancient times, there was a practice of tying knots to record events; she tied knots to remind herself of her current situation

Fool! Not even a dog can be killed!

This sound is like that of a chick!

Yuri Sharik Alekseyevich Bogolovsky

The little chick perched on Junke's shoulder stuck out its tongue at the two unfortunate servants, but Junke's expression darkened the moment he turned his back.

The little chick desperately shakes its tail

As he raised his head and spoke, urine trickled down his forehead and into his mouth. The man dared not wipe it away or spit it out, his face contorted in distress. He wanted to finish speaking as quickly as possible. However, Jun Ke continued to look at him with an innocent expression, as if to say, "I am quite dull and do not understand your meaning; could you please explain it more clearly?" Thus, he had no choice but to continue, "... the dog seems a bit dirty..."

But I hope that what opens up is a broad avenue, rather than a dead end

You can't hold back either! The lady doesn't understand what it means! Why must you kill this dog!

This woman is indeed her "Miss".

She can endure, yet there are things she cannot withstand

The little chicken trembled all over, instinctively contracting its anus, tidying up, sitting upright, tilting its head back, and gazing intently.

At this moment, Junke could no longer sit still. She walked to the curtain, pushed the door open, and suddenly heard a faint sound of sobbing.

The little chicken let out a cry, burying its head in her embrace. Together, the person and the dog held each other, gazing at the moonlight, contemplating that perhaps somewhere far away beneath the same moonlight, someone else was also lifting their keen gaze, searching for a shared hope under the vast starry sky

"Very well." Jun Ke pointed at the dog's head, "Now, I need you to understand that we are no longer in the research institute. We have become separated from those three. This is a perilous otherworld, and both you and I are outliers. Everyone is an enemy, just as dogs and cats will always fight when they meet. The research institute will abduct anyone with special abilities, so we must remain vigilant at all times"

Seven days is sufficient for a person to clarify their current situation. This is the Great Yan Dynasty, which does not belong to any historical dynasty of China. Its level of productive forces is approximately equivalent to that of the Tang and Song dynasties, weaker than the Tang but stronger than the Song. The residence in question is not located in the capital but in the Jibei fief, one of the seven fiefs of the Great Yan, under the jurisdiction of King Nalan Yuanzheng. The head of this residence is surnamed Zhou, holding a military position as a third-rank general of Jibei, responsible for commanding one hundred thousand royal troops on the western front of Jibei on behalf of His Highness King. He is considered an upper-class figure in Jibei, with one wife and two concubines, yet his household is quite empty, having only one daughter.

A flash of anger flickered in her eyes; the little chicken and the *illustrated* book were not only the heart's desire of Tai Shi Lan, but also the lifeline of the four-member research team's special abilities. Now that the little chicken was under her care, if she could not protect this little creature well, how would she ever face Tai Shi Lan in the future

The chick let out a whimper

Jun Ke was momentarily taken aback and did not move. After a while, Hong Yan's head appeared briefly at the half-closed window.

She hurried back to the room, closed the door properly, and tossed the one card onto the floor

One chicken

Do you want to touch Jing Hengbo's big wave again and sneak some snacks from Wen Zhen?

However, the Chinese people, who have long been tempered by leather milk Sudan red, gutter oil, lean meat powder, dyed steamed buns with melamine, and various antibiotics, have already evolved to possess the most resilient physique in the world. They are not afraid of melamine and are still confused by the elixirs of the undeveloped medical era

The urine shot out like a spear, both fierce and accurate, with a splatter that drenched both individuals from head to toe. The stench assaulted their noses, and as they hurried to wipe it off, Jun Ke suddenly lifted a foot and stepped down on the hands of the two pressed against the ground.

After a long while, Junke raised her head, smiled, and gently patted the soft head of the dog, whispering in its ear: "When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will cover it with earth. Do not be afraid, do not be afraid."

Aowu!

... ... ''

She frowned, turned to the wall, and patted the shoulders of the two sweating men.

Jun Ke, satisfied, stepped forward while holding the little chick, and innocently asked, "Why aren't you answering my question? Do you really not consider me a young lady?"

The urine flowed more and more, and when all the urine on the forehead had flowed into that opening and closing mouth, Jun Ke finally nodded in satisfaction, let out a sound of "Oh—", turned around while holding the chick, and shook her head, saying, "Why are you so verbose? I can tell at a glance that you want to give it a bath."

What do you understand! The young lady does not like cats or dogs, so why keep this dog to avoid suspicion? Last time I wanted to get rid of it, but I didn't expect this creature to be so clever

Ouch! Bite me!

Every day, the medicine brought in was secretly watered by her and *the book*, causing the flowers to wilt. Strangely, no one seemed to notice this—her maid appeared calm on the surface but was anxious inside, striving to maintain composure in front of others while displaying a furtive demeanor behind their backs. This intertwining of confusion and anxiety created a heavy pressure hanging over the entire residence, the tension taut, waiting for a day when a thunderous strike would pierce through, tearing it apart.

The little chick blinked its eyes and wondered, what is a cat? Can it be eaten?

Hong Yan is the round-faced maid who, due to her lack of agility compared to Cui Mo, does not often serve in her presence. Jun Ke has seen her a few times; she always stands at a distance in the corridor, her gaze fixed intently on the little dog, revealing her fondness for dogs. Because of this, Jun Ke has developed a slight affection for her. At this moment, seeing her peek out, he was about to greet her, but she suddenly shrank back in fright and disappeared.

The little chicken was originally quite pleased, but after such a heavy thud, it was stunned

Jun Ke raised her hand to remove her wooden-soled embroidered shoes, avoiding any sound from the wooden clogs. She ran over in just her socks and heard the low murmur of conversation coming from nearby

The chick immediately fell to the ground, raising its short tail like a white flag to signify surrender

Seven knots, seven days

Just like the attitude of everyone in this household towards her—striving to appear natural and familiar, yet their eyes flicker with unfamiliarity

Stop being so verbose, hurry up

It seems that the only ones we can rely on are each other, your affection, my direction

The little white dog adopted by the research institute, whose breed is indiscernible, has unexpectedly caught the eye of the cold and aloof Tai Shilan, who has claimed it as her own. Although Jun Ke cannot comprehend why the usually rigorous and indifferent Tiandao Research Institute would suddenly decide to raise a dog, she has also wondered whether Yao Ji, like them, possesses some extraordinary qualities. However, after six months at the institute, Yao Ji has grown from a puppy to a small dog, and aside from being a bit lazy, a bit greedy, a bit proud, and having a particularly unique bark, there seems to be nothing remarkable about it.

Jun Ke frowned—before she woke up, someone had already attempted to take action against the little chick? No wonder the little chick was so excited when she woke up
