After infiltrating the main characters' group, I became the most beautiful woman in the world.

The rain was falling softly.

The further north you go, the colder it gets; winter is just around the corner.

Su Ning stood under the eaves, reaching out to catch the rainwater dripping from the blue stone tiles.

It turns out she has been in this world for almost three months.

For some reason, I keep thinking about the main characters these days.

They're kind of silly, but kind of funny.

Su Ning was staring blankly at the raindrops when suddenly a young man carrying a paper umbrella walked over from a distance.

He was tall and slender, and his clothes fluttered as he walked, yet not a single drop of rain touched him. In the rain, he had the refined and elegant air of a young nobleman.

Su Ning's gaze fell on his hands.

She pouted and said, "Is this all we're having for today?"

Yin Ye walked to the eaves and closed his umbrella. Raindrops slid down the paper umbrella and quickly wet the ground. He leaned the umbrella aside and then entered the dilapidated temple.

"You should be grateful you have anything to eat. In this terrible weather, where am I supposed to get you any delicacies?"

Yin Ye was only carrying a rabbit, nothing else, so it's no wonder Su Ning was disgusted.

They had been traveling for nearly seven or eight days since they set off from Moon Crossing City.

She encountered countless assassination attempts during that time, but Su Ning was too lazy to count them.

However, according to Yin Ye, they will arrive at Wuxiang Gate tomorrow.

If Yin Ye hadn't genuinely been working like a slave for her these past few days, Su Ning naturally wouldn't have believed it.

She could only think that Yin Ye might be deliberately taking revenge on her, which was why he chose this difficult and arduous path.

After all, there had been no sign of human habitation on the roads since yesterday, and the carriage they had bought was destroyed during yesterday's assassination attempt. Fortunately, they still had a horse left, so they wouldn't have to walk.

Su Ning followed the other person into the dilapidated temple.

I watched as he lit the fire, preparing to skin and roast the rabbit.

He argued unreasonably, "Eating this every day is both fishy and tasteless."

"I want to eat fruit."

Yin Ye paused as he poked at the fire, sparks landing on the hem of his indigo robe before being quickly extinguished by his fingers.

He looked up, his pupils as deep as freshly poured ink, not a ray of light could penetrate them, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "With such heavy rain, where am I supposed to find fruit for you?"

Su Ning huddled on the haystack, hugging her knees, her nose slightly red, whether from the cold or a fit of temper, it was hard to tell: "I don't care, you brought me here. If I had left on my own, I might not have ended up like this."

But Yin Ye only scoffed upon hearing this, "You? If you were to walk on your own, who knows how many months it would take you to reach the investiture platform."

Ignoring Su Ning's glare, he continued listing her transgressions: "She won't eat this or that."

"Sleep on a soft bed, and don't get your clothes dirty."

"Don't walk on busy main roads, and don't walk on damp side paths."

"You have so many problems, and you still want to find the Wuxiang Sect within ten days? Even if you had another ten months, you still wouldn't make it."

Yin Ye kept working, roasting the rabbit while mocking Su Ning.

Although everything he said was true, Su Ning wasn't about to go along with him. She stood up abruptly, looking down at him condescendingly: "You're my servant now, and you're still going on and on, never stopping."

"And isn't this just human nature?"

"Is that just human nature?"

Yin Ye pondered these four words, then placed the rabbit on the fire to roast before standing up and looking at the girl in front of him.

"What? Are you going to argue with me?"

Su Ning stared at him intently, but Yin Ye simply smiled back at her.

This was the first time Su Ning had seen him smile so slyly. Sure enough, the words the other was about to say were full of sarcasm: "Unfortunately, since you chose to make a deal with me, you should know that I am not a person who enjoys pleasure."

"You can't eat delicacies, you can't eat fruit, and you can't sleep in a soft bed. Now you can only eat the rabbit I roast and curl up in this drafty, dilapidated temple."

His words were cold, yet every word was precious.

Su Ning stared at him in disbelief, "You, you, you..."

The fact that they said "you" three times in a row was extremely surprising.

Seeing the girl speechless, Yin Ye felt extremely pleased.

Although assassinations continued, they were ultimately just there to die, unlike the likes of Jieyuhua and Rakshasa.

Dealing with these people actually helped his injuries heal faster.

What angered him most was that on that day in Moon Crossing City, he actually forgot to deny his status as a servant.

Moreover, a kiss that wasn't really a kiss made him dizzy and he was completely at the mercy of this girl.

However, she did save his life that day, so these days, Yin Ye has been exploited by her to the extreme, and he has been forced to do all the dirty and tiring work without saying a word.

He, a dignified master of Youtai, was forced to be treated like a servant.

But as they were about to reach the Wuxiang Sect, their transaction was considered over. These days would be considered compensation for the day the other party saved him.

Therefore, when he heard the girl's unreasonable request, Yin Yezhi couldn't help but retort.

This is also a way of venting my anger.

Su Ning was furious. She hadn't expected her servant to harbor such resentment while working under her.

Su Ning decided to ignore him.

She turned around, walked to a corner, and kept her distance from the other person.

Seeing this, Yin Ye did not stop the other party, but continued to roast the rabbit over the fire.

The fire crackled, sparks leaping up and falling back down, casting flickering light on the man's profile.

He lowered his eyes, his fingertips twirling the stick used to roast the rabbit until the edges of the skin were roasted to a crisp, golden brown, before slowly stopping.

Su Ning huddled in the corner, refusing to look at him. A few drops of cold rain leaked through the broken tiles of the dilapidated temple, dripping onto her head and making her shoulders shiver.

Even so, she did not turn back.

Yin Ye didn't call her immediately, but instead looked up, his gaze fixed intently on her back.

It was a somber, somewhat gloomy scrutiny.

Having spent time with her, he naturally understood the girl's temperament.

If you really anger her, she will definitely get her revenge in the future.

But seeing her like this, I felt a little sorry for her.

Yin Ye forced himself to stop thinking about her current situation. After all, this woman was very good at pretending. If he bowed down first, who knew how she would treat him after gaining power?

He broke off pieces of roasted rabbit meat and put them in his mouth. Even though he had added some seasoning, it didn't taste very good.

He deliberately made some noise, but Su Ning still ignored him.

After taking a few bites, Yin Ye broke off a piece of rabbit leg, wrapped it in a clean handkerchief, and got up to walk towards him.

The footsteps were very light, landing on the dusty ground, but Su Ning remained motionless.

Until Yin Ye walked up to her, standing taller than her by more than half a head, his shadow completely enveloping her small figure.

The air became eerily still for a moment.

Finally, Yin Ye bent down first and handed over the still-steaming rabbit leg, his tone gentle: "It was my fault. I shouldn't have said that to you."

Su Ning rested half her face on her lap, turning her head away and refusing to look at him.

The man then apologized again, saying helplessly, "I... I shouldn't have said that to you. Even after we return to the Wuxiang Sect tomorrow, I will still look after you."

But it wasn't until he heard the girl's sobs and her trembling shoulders that Yin Ye panicked.
