"Fantasy/martial arts?"

The woman's movements were so swift that Jiang Chuan couldn't figure out who she was for a moment.

If this is a martial arts story, then such strength is definitely not low-level martial arts. If it is a fantasy story, shouldn't fairies and demons be wielding flying swords?

His thoughts were in turmoil, but he hadn't forgotten his survival instinct.

Just before the sword was about to sever his throat, he hurriedly shouted.

"Woman, spare your life!"

When it comes to acting from one's heart, Emperor Jiangchuan believes he is no less capable than others.

Chapter Two: Wandering the Jianghu with a Sword and Wine

The four words reached the woman's ears, and the murderous intent she had felt because Jiang Chuan had come here unintentionally vanished, and she gradually calmed down.

In that instant, she thought of the refined man who had willingly died in front of her.

There was a time when she was someone who would stop at nothing to complete a mission.

She would do anything despicable to complete her mission.

That person trusted her so much, loved her so much, and was willing to face danger head-on to protect her. Yet, she delivered the most fatal blow to him.

Because of her status at that time, she was destined not to have any feelings.

But then, an unexpected event suddenly entered her world.

She discovered she was pregnant.

The man she finally encountered awakened her last vestige of conscience through his death, and from then on, she developed a determination to break free from her constraints and live for herself.

For the sake of her unborn child, she ultimately betrayed the organization.

Finally, she took her child and began a life on the run.

She hoped that her child would remain untainted by any sin and become a kind person.

"If we kill him here, wouldn't that go against our original intentions? Wouldn't it be no different from when we were in that organization?"

Upon realizing this, the woman stopped herself from severing Jiang Chuan's throat with her sword.

She looked at Jiang Chuan with cold eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

In that brief moment, Jiang Chuan felt the sword was only millimeters away from him. He almost thought he was going to die. If he died like that, it would be incredibly unlucky.

Other transmigrators, after transmigrating, all became tyrannical and domineering.

Meanwhile, those guys in the historical district were all appointed as kings and generals, and they established a prosperous dynasty.

And what happened to him?

Having spent a year playing survival games in the wilderness, struggling to make ends meet, it's bad enough that I'm going to die here without even knowing why. If I die here, I'm afraid I'll truly be left to rot in the wilderness, with no one even willing to collect my body.

Fortunately, he did not die in the end.

Of course, just because he's not dead now doesn't mean this female knight won't kill him later.

Jiang Chuan's thoughts flickered as he took a quick look at the female warrior in front of him. She was wearing a purple and white striped metallic outfit, and in some places, it looked like fishnet stockings.

Are you sure this isn't erotic clothing?

Jiang Chuan's mind raced. He felt that the woman in front of him was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place her. More important than overthinking was survival.

Jiang Chuan quickly said, "Please spare my life, heroine. I am a villager living in a nearby village. Although I do not have a good citizen certificate, I am indeed a good citizen. Today I came up the mountain to check if the traps I set had caught any prey. However, I found that the prey in one of the traps had been taken away. So, I followed the footprints left on the mud and came here."

"And there I saw the heroine... barbecuing."

"If you are a female knight-errant, then I will give you the rabbit as a gift, as a token of friendship. I only hope that you will spare my life."

Jiang Chuan appeared very humble.

His goal was very clear: it's better to live a miserable life than to die; everything he did was for the sake of survival.

The woman was stunned when she heard Jiang Chuan's words.

This morning, the baby was hungry, but her milk supply wasn't enough.

Therefore, they could only try to find food in the mountains and forests.

But because the child kept crying, she didn't find any prey for a long time.

They didn't stop until they found a trap with a wild rabbit on it, so they took the rabbit.

Unexpectedly, the rabbit's owner came looking for them.

Ultimately, she was in the wrong first.

Thinking of this, the woman immediately sheathed her sword.

In the past, she would never have thought she was wrong, but that person was willing to risk his life to reform her. To be worthy of that person and for the sake of her child, she had to change herself.

Indiscriminate killing is something only members of that organization would do.

Now that she has left that organization, she should naturally sever ties with it.

Jiang Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the woman sheathe her sword.

He looked at the woman somewhat nervously and said, "If there's nothing else, heroine, shall I be leaving?"

He didn't want to stay here for even a second longer.

The woman nodded, having already decided to let Jiang Chuan go.

Just then, a clear baby's voice came from behind.

"Wow wow..."

Upon hearing the sound, the woman's expression immediately changed, and she quickly rushed towards the stone cave behind her. Finally, she picked up an infant wrapped in cloth and carefully cared for it. Unfortunately, no matter how she tried to soothe the child, the crying could not be calmed down.

Jiang Chuan never expected to encounter such a scene.

He was already preparing to leave.

But the way the woman was comforting the child reminded him of his child from a previous life. His child, by all accounts, should be almost two years old. He should be able to walk, but he didn't know how many words he had learned to speak.

He mustered his courage, walked forward, and said to the woman, "Um, do you need any help?"

The woman was trying her best to soothe the child, but she actually had no experience in taking care of children.

In her view, this was even more troublesome than murder.

Fortunately, she had worked as an assassin and was very patient. Even though the child kept crying, she didn't get annoyed. After all, it was her own child.

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, her expression was somewhat complicated, but she still chose to accept Jiang Chuan's kindness. "The child is hungry, so I took your prey to feed the child."

Jiang Chuan didn't bother asking the child why she wasn't being fed if she was hungry, because without special lactation-inducing methods, and given certain individual constitutions, it's true that some people might not have enough milk.

However, the woman's words still made him look at the wild rabbit that had been roasted by the woman into something resembling charcoal.

One sentence made him blurt out, "You feed this to the child?"

Jiang Chuan regretted saying that as soon as he did.

He hadn't forgotten that he had narrowly escaped death from the woman's clutches.

Upon hearing this, the woman blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

She is very good at things like playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Because she had undergone special training and become proficient in these things in order to carry out the mission of the Net, she was able to get close to the mission target.

However, her survival skills in the wild were only average.

In the past, grilling wild game wouldn't have caused this much trouble, but today the child kept crying and fussing, and the more she cried, the more anxious she became, which led to this situation.

"This rabbit is obviously not suitable for children to eat."

Seeing that the woman wasn't angry, Jiang Chuan took the initiative to speak to her, saying, "If you don't mind, take her to my place."

“I just happened to have cooked some porridge, which I can give her.”

The woman looked at Jiang Chuan with some surprise, not expecting that this villager she had just met would be so kind.

This was the first time she had felt kindness from others since she defected from that organization.

After thinking for a moment, the woman nodded.

She didn't want to refuse such a rare act of kindness.

Jiang Chuan then extinguished the charcoal fire the woman was using for barbecuing to prevent the flames from burning the forest due to the strong winds. Although the forest was wet from last night's rain and wouldn't burn, it was always better to be safe than sorry.

Jiang Chuan led the woman through the mountains and forests toward the house where he lived.

The child cried and fussed throughout the journey.

Jiang Chuan also asked the woman questions from time to time, such as how old the child was, whether it was a boy or a girl, and so on.

When they learned that the child was a girl, and that she was only two months old.

Jiang Chuan then looked at the way the woman was holding the baby. She was holding the baby upright. Jiang Chuan couldn't help but say, "Well, newborn babies shouldn't be held upright in the first three months because their cervical spine hasn't fully developed yet. At this time, they must be held horizontally."

Upon hearing this, the woman paused for a moment, then immediately changed her hugging posture without saying a word.
