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

When Su Ning opened her eyes again, she was not in front of the light-colored bed curtains of the inn, but on the roof of a carriage. She could faintly hear the chirping of birds and the bleating of sheep.

Su Ning: "?"

No, where's my bed?

Looking at her bound hands and feet, she realized that she had been kidnapped while she was with the main characters.

Last night, the last thing she saw when she lost consciousness was a pair of somewhat familiar eyes.

As she was wondering who could have kidnapped her, the carriage curtain was lifted from the outside. The man in front of her was about twenty years old, very young, with an ordinary face, except for his exceptionally bright eyes.

"It's you!" Su Ning exclaimed in surprise.

The story begins yesterday. After lunch yesterday, Tangxi invited Su Ning to explore Qingyun City. Hundred Flowers Valley is outside the city, and since they had just arrived in Qingyun, they thought they might as well rest for a while.

After all, once they entered Hundred Flowers Valley, they probably wouldn't have time to explore Qingyun City. Apart from You Xunchun, the four of them planned to go out and take a look.

Ever since Su Ning lost her pearl hairpin, Tang Xi has been dedicated to buying all kinds of jewelry for her. After all, how can a great beauty be without gorgeous jewelry to complement her?

Of course, Su Ning herself was very happy to do so. With such a stunningly beautiful face, how could she not dress herself up nicely?

So the two hit it off immediately. Although Tang Xi herself doesn't dress up, she takes Su Ning's appearance very seriously. Even before they arrived in Qingyun, the two of them could still find something to enjoy at the roadside stalls.

Even Pei Yunlian and Yue Zijin couldn't help but admire each other. Miss Tang really couldn't be judged by ordinary standards. When it comes to shopping, she is truly a rare kind of persistent girl.

Although Yuezi still couldn't understand why the two of them could talk so eloquently about those rouge colors, in his opinion they were all the same color, weren't they?

As for You Xunchun, he was quite satisfied with the current situation. After Su Ning arrived, Tang Xi stopped bothering him, which was good.

So yesterday, the two of them planned to visit the jewelry shops in Qingyun. After asking the shopkeeper about the most popular jewelry shops in Qingyun City, they prepared to set off. Originally, Yue Zi wanted to find out about Yu Xinglai's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, Pei Yunlian followed behind Su Ning and Tang Xi without saying a word, which made Yue Zijin give up on Yu Xinglai. After all, Pei Yunlian was really cunning, and he didn't want to be unable to join the conversation when the three of them came back and were chatting and laughing.

And so the four of them set off on their journey.

While the girls were choosing jewelry, the two men were having tea and snacks at the restaurant across the street. However, an incident occurred on their way back.

They happened to pass a bookstore on their way back, and Su Ning had only gone halfway when a scholar was suddenly thrown out. Unfortunately, the scholar landed right at Su Ning's feet, so even if she wanted to leave, she had no choice but to help the scholar up.

Yue Zijin inquired about the situation first. It turned out that the scholar's family was poor and he could not afford to buy books, so he came to the bookstore to borrow books every day. However, he was bullied by his classmate. Yue Zijin naturally hated evil and immediately beat up his classmate.

Tangxi, moved by the scholar's difficulty in pursuing his studies, bought the books the scholar was reading.

As for Su Ning, she did nothing; she simply helped the other person up.

Su Ning looked at the scholar before her and calmly said, "Who exactly are you? A scholar couldn't possibly have brought me out of the inn so quietly."

Yu Xinglai looked at the beautiful woman before him, who was feigning composure, and smiled, "So cute."

Even though I had seen this beautiful face up close last night, how could her sleeping posture compare to the vivid and lively appearance before me?

Seeing that the other party did not answer her question, Su Ning could only try her best to deal with him. Although she had the life-saving weapon given to her by Xiao Qi, she was now bound hand and foot and could not do anything to him.

"Who are you? I don't know you at all. We only met once yesterday. What do you want with me by taking you hostage?"

With her back against the carriage, Su Ning had nowhere left to retreat and could only carefully distance herself from the other party.

Seeing the other party's wary look, Yu Xinglai instead leaned in. Su Ning thought he was going to do something to her, so she closed her eyes and put her hands in front of her.

He threatened the other party, saying, "You...you better not do anything rash. My friend is very skilled in martial arts. You'd better let me go now, and I...I can get them to go easy on you."

The girl's voice was soft and clear, but she didn't know that her current appearance was what most aroused the desires in men's hearts.

Her black hair was disheveled, her skin was as white as snow, and a touch of red at the corner of her eye was as beautiful as peach blossoms in March, making one want to leave some mark on her.

Yu Xinglai suppressed the romantic thoughts in her heart and whispered in the other person's ear, "Really? But when I kidnapped you, they were sleeping like logs."

The other person didn't do anything to her. After speaking, they distanced themselves from each other. She felt as if something had been stuck into her head. She carefully touched it and took it off. It turned out to be the pearl flower that she thought had been thrown away!

My thoughts suddenly became clear.

The gazes she felt in Luoyun City, the touch on her waist—all now pointed to the person before her. "It's you! You stole my pearl hairpin, and you've been following us since Luoyun City!"

clap clap-

Yu Xinglai applauded the other party, "Smart, Miss Su, you are a weak woman, yet you were able to sense my presence. You are truly clever. However, I must correct you, I only followed you." He emphasized the word "you".

Of course, Yu Xinglai's lightness skill was superb. If he hadn't intentionally revealed a flaw, how could Su Ning have really noticed his presence?

"I don't know you, let alone have offended you. What do you want with me here?"

Hearing the other person's joking tone and looking at their ordinary face, Su Ning couldn't suppress her anger.

"What are you doing?" Yu Xinglai asked with a smile, resting his chin on his hand. "Stealing treasures and fragrances. I love rare and precious things, but you are the first fragrance I've ever stolen."

"You are Yu Xinglai!" Su Ning finally realized that the ordinary-looking person in front of her was the Thief Saint that Yue Zijin had been trying to befriend.

She didn't expect the person in front of her to be Yu Xinglai because, according to the original plot, shouldn't Yu Xinglai's first appearance be in the treasure pavilion of the prefect's house in Qingyun City?

If Xiao Qi were still here, she would definitely teach it a lesson. What a terrible original work! It doesn't even follow the plot.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have heard of me. That makes me quite pleased."

His lips curled up, as if he were genuinely happy that Su Ning knew his name.

"Hmph, I've only ever heard that the Saint of Thieves steals rare treasures, but I never imagined he'd actually become a womanizer. You truly disgrace your title of Saint of Thieves."

Su Ning was furious. Yu Xinglai acted entirely on his own whims and was not a decent person. Now that she was in his hands, she had no idea what he intended to do to her.

Hearing the girl's mockery, the man simply shook his head and said calmly, "Not at all, not at all. I didn't do anything to you, so how did I become a flower thief?"

"Besides, the Master Thief has stolen all the treasures in the world. If you weren't a precious gem, why would the Master Thief have given up even the luminous pearl from the South China Sea?"

Su Ning didn't want to argue with him, or rather, she didn't want to pay any attention to him at the moment.

All she could think about was when the main characters would come to rescue her.
