After provoking the holy maiden of Miao territory, she was infected with a love curse.

Two furtive thieves, their ears pressed against the carved window sill outside the inn, exchanged a glance.

He lowered his voice and said, "I didn't hear anything. Those two are probably asleep."

"Let's go in now... take all that silver and travel money, and ride off!"

Seeing that the man next to him was about to climb through the window, another man reached out and grabbed his sleeve, taking out a bamboo tube from his waist.

"Wait a minute."

"It's better to be safe than sorry."

"Once we light this sleeping incense, they will fall into a deep sleep... Even if there is any movement, they won't be able to wake up."

A bright spark lit up the night, and the tinderbox lit the incense stick, sending a wisp of white smoke drifting by.

The two of them squeezed into the window crack.

...

A suffocating smell wafted over, and Yin Huaixi inwardly cried out in alarm.

She quickly held her breath.

If I actually inhale this ghostly scent...

He will lose consciousness soon.

That would be terrible!

Yin Huaixi was unsure of the other party's background or identity.

It wasn't that she didn't trust the strength of Sang Che, the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang...

However, if Sang Che, who is blind and cannot see, were to actually fight the other party...

Wasn't she the first one to be cannon fodder?

Yin Huaixi took a deep breath. Because they were so close, the scent emanating from Sang Che swept over them.

It seeped into her mouth and nose.

It smells even better than I imagined.

Yin Huaixi sensed something was wrong from the scent emanating from Sang Che…

The smell was enough to make her heart flutter and pound.

But it won't make her lose her senses.

It perfectly counteracts the alluring fragrance that drifts in through the window!

Sang Che felt Yin Huaixi's nose gently brush against his chest, and his fingers rested on Yin Huaixi's soft waist, causing her to tremble as his fingertips moved upwards.

"Huai Xi..."

"Don't be afraid... they're just small fry, I can take care of them."

They dared to covet her things.

Sang Che could tell they were tired of living.

Looking across the entire Miao region, Sang Che had never encountered such an impudent and ill-mannered Miao person.

Ultimately... most of the seedlings here are mature seedlings.

People who lack foresight have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Her bathrobe had been rubbed open at some point, and Yin Huaixi felt Sang Che's fingers moving downwards, as if sparks were rising from them.

Damn it...

Could it be that Sang Che has some kind of aphrodisiac on his body?

The smell made her mind start to wander!

The disheveled position left Sang Che, who had originally intended to comfort Yin Huaixi, unsure of where she was touching, and she heard a groan coming from the person on top of her.

The sound was especially noticeable in the quiet room.

The two people, who were about to push open a crack with their rough, large hands, were startled by the sudden sound.

If they remembered correctly, only the two women who stayed in the room during the day should have stayed there.

Nowadays…

How could such a sound come from here!

These two must have a thing for mirror polishing!

The two looked at each other in bewilderment, and one of them quickly pulled out the incense stick in his hand and extinguished it.

The tiles made a soft sound, and after a while, the two thieves withdrew on their own.

After making such a shameful sound, Yin Huaixi felt like banging her head against a wall, but once she heard the person leave, her attention was drawn back to them.

These two probably don't think she and Sang Che are doing something!

Before she could even catch her breath, Sang Che's fingers traced across Yin Huaixi's hip bone again, causing Yin Huaixi to groan softly once more.

Her trembling fingers hastily grabbed Sang Che's restless wrist, watching the person beneath her act so brazenly.

The guilt I felt for choking her in the nightmare vanished.

The protagonist, who hasn't even tasted meat yet, is already this lawless...

If they were to break their vegetarian diet, they'd be in heaven!

"Stop..."

Suppressing her anger, Yin Huaixi reached out and grabbed Sang Che's wrist.

Sang Che showed no sign of resistance; in fact, she quite enjoyed the feeling of all her senses being covered and eroded by Yin Huaixi.

"I'm sorry, did I... accidentally bump into something?"

"Huaixi, please forgive me, someone who can't see anything, okay?"

Using this face to act cute!

That's absolutely foul!

Yin Huaixi struggled with her thoughts for a full three seconds before deciding to continue speaking.

However, Sang Che didn't give her a chance to catch her breath and hugged her again.

"I know this bandit stronghold isn't safe, Huaixi... but you're the only one I have right now. Who else can I turn to besides you?"

Yin Huaixi knew that some of Sang Che's words were unbelievable, but she trusted her as she was being held like this.

She unconsciously lowered her guard again.

The unpleasantness from before gradually faded away, and Yin Huaixi let Sang Che hold her.

As long as Sang Che doesn't act recklessly, Yin Huaixi feels there's no problem.

"You're so amazing... Is there anyone in this world you're afraid of?"

Yin Huaixi grabbed Sang Che's wrist, pulled her restless hand off, and tucked it back into the blanket.

His hand was shoved back into place, and Sang Che looked sad.

She instinctively curled up and didn't approach Yin Huaixi again.

"Of course..."

"Huaixi, do you know what it feels like to not be able to see?"

Yin Huaixi was speechless, overwhelmed with guilt.

She comforted herself.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

She understood this principle.

But she couldn't bring herself to admit it, nor could she let go of her anger at Sang Che's "reckless behavior" earlier.

a long time.

Reaching out, Yin Huaixi wrapped her arms around Sang Che's waist again, pressing her soft cheek against the comfortable fabric of her robe against her back.

It gently rubbed against it.

It has a strong sense of seeking peace and appeasement.

As expected, Sang Che just leaned forward a little, as if he was throwing a tantrum, and Yin Huaixi had no choice but to lean forward again.

Extending her leg, Yin Huaixi braced herself against Sang Che's ankle. She had no patience to continue playing along with Sang Che's antics, so she simply pulled him into her arms.

Seeing that Sang Che was still struggling.

Yin Huaixi whispered in her ear, her tone firm, "If you don't let me hold you, don't come begging me if your cold poison flares up in the middle of the night."

After saying this, Sang Che stopped moving.

Yin Huaixi narrowed her eyes slightly, quite satisfied that Sang Che was obedient.

...

The two fell asleep in each other's arms.

Until dawn.

Suddenly, a small bird flew in from afar and landed lightly on the windowsill.

Its claws gripped the brown wood firmly, pecking at it with its beak, making a "bang bang" sound.

Half asleep, Yin Huaixi didn't think much of it at first. She hugged the warm and soft body and planned to continue sleeping.

Suddenly, the image of the dark-skinned woman who had given her the bird whistle yesterday flashed into her mind.

and many more…

Could it be that her second sister's people sent her a letter?

Clutching the blanket tightly, Yin Huaixi carefully got up from the bed, but her sleeve was pressed down by Sang Che. Yin Huaixi could only hold her breath and pry Sang Che's arm open with her fingertips.

Terrified, he pulled his sleeve back.

That little bird was key to her getting the message out; if she got back to the village...

I'm afraid the little bird won't be able to fly in.

Only here could Yin Huaixi still have hope of communicating with her elder sisters and planning her departure.

Sang Che seemed to be sleeping soundly.

With no intention of getting up, Yin Huaixi was about to leave when she turned back and tucked the blanket around Sang Che.

She put on her shoes and moved to the window.

Sure enough, a clever little bird with darting, darting eyes was waiting for her.

Yin Huaixi took the letter from the bamboo tube beside the bird's feet and looked down to examine it closely.

— See you at the usual place.

"Discussing an escape."

Concentrating intently, Yin Huaixi's long hair fluttered in the breeze outside the window, and she didn't notice Sang Che slowly opening his eyes on the wooden bed.

He was groping with his fingertips at the gradually cooling blankets beside her.

His smile froze, and his expression gradually turned cold.

Why are there always annoying guys bothering her and Huaixi wherever they go...?
