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

"Hmm—"

Su Ning blinked, not quite reacting, when she was pulled into the other person's arms. The evening breeze carried the fragrance of flowers, and the man's cool lips, with a hint of urgency, deepened. He was probably not very skilled, only lingering and biting her lips tenderly.

After gradually mastering the method, he began to conquer and seize territory. By the time Su Ning realized what was happening, she was powerless to stop him and could only let him do as he pleased. Her shoulders and neck were pressed against the cold wall, but the hand on her waist was unusually hot, and his hot breath sprayed on her neck, causing her to tremble slightly. Even the fingers that were gripping his clothes were trembling slightly.

Looking at the beauty panting softly beneath him, Yu Xinglai ultimately suppressed the desire in his heart.

Su Ning's face was rosy and her eyes were moist.

At this moment, her mind was a little confused. How did they end up kissing each other for no reason?

Is Yu Xinglai's image being ruined by this?

But then again, considering she's playing the role of the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, it seems normal. Although Yu Xinglai and she didn't have much interaction in the original story, this isn't her storyline now, so if it falls apart, so be it.

The young man before her had an astonishingly bright gaze. He stared at her, licked his lips, which glistened with moisture, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Su is just too alluring, I couldn't resist for a moment."

Su Ning glanced at him sideways and said sarcastically, "Young Master Yu's actions are probably an insult to the name of the Thief Saint."

"Alas, how can the title of 'Thief Saint' compare to a single finger of yours, Miss Su? How about this, to express my apology, I'll give this to Miss Su as an apology gift, is that alright?"

Yu Xinglai pulled a wooden box from his chest, and upon opening it, he saw a blue bead with a faint glow that shone brightly in the darkness.

"This is... a luminous pearl from the South China Sea?"

Su Ning had never seen it before, but based on the description of the bead in the original work, and the events that were about to happen today, it wasn't hard for her to guess.

"How is it? Do you like it?"

The South China Sea luminous pearl is not only beautiful, but also a rare medicinal material that can be used in medicine. Wearing it close to the body can also nourish the body at all times.

She never expected that this person would actually steal the treasure.

However, Su Ning still refused firmly, "No, you should leave quickly. These people in the manor are here to arrest you today."

Of course she was tempted, but she was going back to the main characters' group; what would it mean for her to keep this bead?

Yu Xinglai nodded, "That's true, this bead is indeed a bit shabby. Let me go back and see if there's anything else for you."

Su Ning ignored him, glanced around to make sure no one else had arrived, and prepared to go to the banquet to find the main group. However, before she could take a step, the man in front of her stopped her. "Miss Su, are you really going to leave like this?"

"With looks like that, aren't you afraid the prefect of Qingyun will abduct you?"

Su Ning glared at him, forcing a smile, and said, "Thanks to Young Master Yu, am I here what I wanted?"

Yu Xinglai touched his nose, knowing he was in the wrong, "If it weren't for the relentless pursuit of the Shadow Pavilion Master, how could I have arranged for you to be placed in this mansion?"

Su Ning didn't want to argue with him, but she saw Yu Xinglai hand her a veil. "Put it on... otherwise, who knows how many people you'll harm looking like this."

She didn't hear the sounds after that, but remembering how dangerous that face was, she still took the veil and put it on.

The pink and white veil made her watery eyes even more alluring.

Yu Xinglai: What should we do? It seems like we're attracting even more attention.

On the other side, the Prefect of Qingyun sat at the head of the table, with the sounds of string and wind instruments filling the air.

"It is truly an honor that Young Master Song would leave the valley for me."

The prefect of Qingyun was about forty or fifty years old, and his features still faintly showed the charm of his youth. At this moment, he was toasting the white-robed young man below him with a big smile on his face.

Song Hengxue disliked drinking and even more so the noisy banquet, but Hundred Flowers Valley ultimately belonged to Qingyun territory, and he was unwilling to antagonize the Qingyun prefect.

Seeing the lively atmosphere of toasting and drinking above, Yue Zijin and his group below looked rather gloomy.

"Brother You, do you think Yu Xinglai will really show up? I'm a little worried about Susu." Tang Xi seemed a little absent-minded as she fiddled with the dishes in her bowl.

You Xunchun took a sip of tea and said calmly, "He acts casually, but he doesn't lie. Besides, I haven't heard of him having any bad deeds. Su Ning should be fine for now."

Alan and his group, who were preparing to go on stage, also seemed a little anxious. The woman riding in the same carriage as Su Ning said, "Why hasn't Xiao Xing come back yet? It's almost our turn to go on stage."

Those who had looked down on Xiaoxing from the start scoffed, "Maybe the prefect has taken a liking to her and she'll rise to prominence. Why would she care about us then?"

The woman's eyes dimmed upon hearing this, and her lips trembled, but she ultimately remained silent.

Just as Alan was preparing to fight back, a little maid suddenly ran in from the front, hurriedly saying, "The treasure has been stolen! Ladies, it's best to stay here and not wander around."

The front yard was already in complete chaos.

The prefect nearly fainted when he saw the precious pearl in the wooden box had vanished.

Meanwhile, Song Hengxue, with a grave expression, discovered that all the disciples guarding Baozhu had fainted.

Qi Linglong was also inside.

Tang Xi rushed over and, seeing the Hundred Flowers Valley disciples lying on the ground, quickly asked, "Senior Brother Song, are they alright?"

Song Hengxue shook her head: "It's nothing, I was just knocked unconscious."

"It seems that Yu Xinglai's martial arts skills are even higher than we imagined."

After examining the situation, You Xunchun pondered for a moment and said, "The person was knocked unconscious for no more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The fact that there was no movement outside the door means that the other party must not have had time to leave yet, and this person must still be in the mansion."

Song Hengxue looked at You Xunchun. Although the other man was not from Hundred Flowers Valley, his medical skills were superb, and he felt a sense of kinship with him. After spending the last two days together, he regarded the other man as a brother even more. "Brother You is right. Let's search. Today, we have laid a tight net. The other man will not escape."

Yu Xinglai and Su Ning entered the warm pavilion of the Qingyun Prefectural Government's residence.

Su Ning looked at the other person's relaxed demeanor and couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, "Are you so confident that you can defeat my companion and that Young Master Song from Hundred Flowers Valley?"

Yu Xinglai was doing a zero-yuan purchase when he heard her question. Without looking up, he replied, "The young lady beside you and that young man with the sword are indeed quite nice, but they're not good enough for me."

"As for Song Hengxue, she's considered a rising star among the younger generation, but since she specializes in medicine, it's a good deal for me. Don't worry, I'm confident I can get you out of here."

Su Ning: Thanks for the invitation...

As they were talking, a group of people arrived from outside.

Song Hengxue said to Yue Zijin, "The other party must be hiding in the house now. If we search carefully, we won't find their hiding place."

Meanwhile, Su Ning was being held down by Yu Xinglai and hidden in a closet.
