Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

As if she already knew, Aria appeared on the straight line between the venomous snake that had been hiding and waiting for an opportunity to attack and Lin Xueyin.

Poisonous fangs can pierce ordinary human skin, but they are powerless against fully armed humans, especially those wearing such tough plate armor.

There was no piercing as expected, nor a crisp sound, yet Lin Xueyin stared in horror at the small, dark snake on Ailiya's body.

If the other party hadn't been standing in front of me, the snake's fangs, already exposed, would have already pierced my body.

Priests can dispel curses and various buffs, but poison is a completely unfamiliar territory for them. Although they are skilled in alchemy and medicine, at this moment, even if they know everything, there is only one outcome: death.

She gripped the small, dark snake tightly in both hands, only showing it to Lin Xueyin from a distance. Seeing that Lin Xueyin's usually calm and composed face now showed a look of terror, Ailiya felt a strange sense of pleasure.

"Yukine, is it this snake? The one that's been making you feel the danger."

She nodded timidly, seemingly influenced by her current body, and had a natural fear of these cold-blooded mollusks.

Grabbing the snake by the tail with one hand and its vital spot with the other, Aria gestured to the guards to use their swords to slash the snake's vital spot, but the swords only managed to create a bright spark on the hard scales.

"This is just an ordinary snake, how can it have such hard scales?"

Somewhat puzzled, Aria suddenly felt that this matter was not simple. At least, it was unlikely that such a snake would so rationally attack her fully armed troops.

Moreover, they attack their own weak points, and even choose the timing and direction. Most importantly, they launch a second attack after having already given up on an attack. This is not a hunting method that most snakes would adopt.

At this moment, Lin Xueyin was still immersed in the fear of almost dying. For the first time, this was the first time she had been so close to death. As a modern-day otaku, her current situation was indeed a wake-up call, making her realize what kind of world she was living in.

"Ugh, this world is too dangerous. Can I go back to Mars?"

Hearing this completely incomprehensible language from Lin Xueyin's mouth, Ailiya was a little confused. "Xueyin, is Mars your home? I don't think I've ever heard of that place."

"Of course you haven't heard of it. If you had, I'd be in trouble." Lin Xueyin silently muttered to herself before dropping the subject.

"Aria, let's get rid of this snake first..." Frowning, he saw Aria gesture for her comrades to take out a scroll. Then, amidst their reluctant gazes, she tore open the scroll. With a flash of light, a wind blade instantly sliced ​​the snake, which had been swaying there, in two.

"Alright, now we can have some peace and quiet." With that, Aria lightly flicked the snake's tail into the bushes, but kept the snake's head tightly clenched in her hand. She even took out a bottle of healing potion that had run out of liquid and threw the snake's head into it.

"Ha, Arya, do you have to be like this? Isn't this snake already dead?"

Feeling puzzled by Aria's behavior, Lin Xueyin reached out to examine the snake's head, which had been cut in two. However, just as her hand was about to touch the bottle, the snake's head suddenly bared its fangs and lunged at her hand.

The fangs emitted a piercing clang on the bottle, but unfortunately, it was just a snake head without its lower half. Lacking stamina, it could only helplessly face its death in its final frenzy.

Terrified, she withdrew her hand back to her chest, staring with dread at the snake head inside the bottle. The snake's expressionless eyes still sent chills down her spine.

He handed the bottle to his men and had them bury it deep in the ground, then weighed it down with a stone, as if worried that the snake might come back to life.

At this moment, Ailiya held Lin Xueyin, who was still feeling uneasy, tightly in her arms, touching her back, which was still trembling slightly from fear.

"It's alright, it's all alright now. I promised I would protect you, and I definitely won't let you be in any danger."

"Yes, thank you."

He took a deep breath, suppressing the overwhelming fear in his heart, and continued, "Let's continue. I think we're not far from the place you mentioned."

"Yes, it's not far now, let's go there now."

Seeing the fear still lingering in Lin Xueyin's heart, Ailiya felt sorry for her but didn't expose her. Instead, the shield in her hand protected Lin Xueyin perfectly, while her armored body also protected her.

The group that had already left did not look back at the stone that had been pressing down on the empty bottle containing the snake's head; it all seemed to be in the past.

Inside a damp cave, Aria held Lin Xueyin's hand tightly, carefully escorting her slowly deeper into the cave. After walking for more than ten minutes, in a slightly more spacious cave, Lin Xueyin exclaimed in surprise as she saw two bloodied human skeletons torn apart by wolves.

"Aria, what, what's going on?"

Gently picking up the two longswords and some packages around the skeleton, he said, "These two corpses belong to two adventurers. They probably encountered those wind wolves before and ended up dying in their jaws."

"Those wind wolves." Lin Xueyin recalled the pack of wolves she had killed with her staff in the Lone Wolf Cave, but she still didn't understand why Aria had brought her here.

“These adventurers aren’t just two people.” Aria sighed softly, knowing that Lin Xueyin still didn’t understand, and continued.

"These adventurers are all very ordinary beings, and it's impossible for them to appear in such a deep forest. Even we went through many battles to get here. In the meantime, many magical beasts have been killed or driven away by us."

Volume One: The Transmigrated Wet Nurse - Chapter Twenty-Six: Doubts Abound

Finally understanding what Aria meant, Lin Xueyin frowned deeply, truly puzzled by the sudden deaths of these two adventurers in such a place.

If they encountered monsters and were wiped out, they should have appeared on the outskirts of the forest. If they ventured in, there should have been many people here, but only two have appeared.

“Xueyin, that’s not all. These two people are not from the same adventure team, and they didn’t receive their missions at the same time to travel to these Hundred Thousand Mountains.”

What Ailiya said surprised Lin Xueyin even more. If that were true, the probability of these two people appearing in the same place was extremely low. Yet, they had indeed died in the same place.

"Aria, do you think this could be a coincidence?"

"I can't say for sure that it isn't, but as you know, there are some strange disappearances in Yorktown, though not often. You've probably heard about that."

He paused for a moment, realizing that he had indeed heard about it while treating someone, but he hadn't connected the two things just now.

"Yes, that's true. Some adventurers have mentioned before that many low-ranking adventure teams have disappeared without a trace, and no survivors could be found. Could these people be among those adventurers who went missing before?"

"I don't know, but we can't say for sure that it isn't." Aria collected the adventurers' belongings and had her subordinates carry them. She was about to turn back with Lin Xueyin when she heard Lin Xueyin's surprised voice.

"what is this?"

He hurried over to where Lin Xueyin had squatted down and saw some crooked handwriting.

"...Greedy...wolf...village...traitor." Most of the writing was blurred and illegible; only these five characters were clearly visible. Aria frowned deeply, unable to understand what these words meant.

"Aria, what does this even mean? I can't understand it at all."

"I don't understand, I don't understand either. But these must be their last words, or they carved out what happened to them. It's a pity we found them too late, which has made the writings blurry."

Taking off her gloves, Arya ran her hand over the wall inscribed with words, hoping to perceive the writing through touch, only to be disappointed by reality.

"Alright, we've found some clues, so let's not think about it anymore."

"Yeah, that's true. I never expected that my mission to investigate the theft of military supplies would lead to so much trouble. Honestly, I shouldn't have come."

"Uh, so you regret coming here?" The charming smile made Ailiya feel a little suffocated, especially after hearing Lin Xueyin's words, she shook her head helplessly.

"How could that be? Just knowing you is enough for me."

That's a must. Gaining the friendship of a powerful priest is something even some high-ranking nobles might not be able to achieve. This single gain is far superior to any quest reward.

Suddenly feeling her face getting hot, Lin Xueyin turned her face to the side, feeling a secret sense of joy in her heart for some reason.

"Alright, alright, let's go back now."

Lin Xueyin waved her hand, turned her back to Ailiya and tried to walk up, but unfortunately let out a cry of surprise and fell backward because of the slippery road.

Once again, as if possessed by a prophet, Aria appeared behind Lin Xueyin and embraced her tightly.

Clinging tightly to the hard, cold armor, Lin Xueyin inexplicably felt a sense of being protected, a feeling that gradually fermented in her heart.

"Be careful, the road is slippery." He gently helped her up and carefully supported Lin Xueyin as they walked uphill.

Time passed quickly without people noticing. When everyone returned to the town, it was already dark, and two moons, one red and one silver, appeared in the sky.

"Alright, we're finally back."

Lin Xueyin let out a long sigh of relief. This adventure in the mountains was a true test of her inner strength. All sorts of things happened and all sorts of problems arose, further exposing an issue that she had been avoiding all along.

He had transmigrated to a strange world. Here, he really needed to think carefully about his future and what path to take. There would be no more otaku life here, and it certainly wouldn't be as peaceful and protective of someone as powerless as the old China.

"How about you treat me to dinner tonight?" Ailiya tapped Lin Xueyin's head, who seemed a little preoccupied, causing her to playfully scold her before laughing happily.

"Alright, get some rest tonight. You've had a long day, so get some rest early. Don't go into the mountains tomorrow; we can investigate on our own."

The scene here was peaceful, but unbeknownst to them, shortly after Lin Xueyin and the others left, a pair of black boots, concealed by a cloak, stepped onto the withered leaves. Two gloved hands emerged from the wide sleeves, pushing aside a stone to reveal the ground beneath, which had been deliberately flattened and compacted. There were obvious signs of tampering.

He turned over all the soil, revealing a bottle containing half a snake's body. Trembling, he took the bottle out, letting out a muffled laugh, while the snake's body inside gradually withered. A wisp of black gas slowly emanated from the bottle's opening, gradually twisting into a stream that was sucked into the hood of his cloak.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die in vain. I will make that priest pay the price."

As the man was speaking, he suddenly heard footsteps and quickly blended into the forest. He watched helplessly as the girl he hated was escorted away by another armored warrior. Although he was unwilling, he remained composed and did not show any hostility.

Finally, after these people left, the cloaked man glared hatefully in the direction they had gone, but then, as if he had thought of something, he let out a laugh like that of a night owl.

"I wonder if you two will still be so affectionate tonight, hehehe, there's a big gift for you later, my little pastor, I look forward to your shock when you see it."

Volume 1: The Transmigrated Nanny - Chapter 27 Night Raid

Everything seemed to be over. Lin Xueyin saw off Ailiya, who had come to eat here, and complained, saying that she was telling herself to rest well and not to bother her, but when she heard that she was going to treat herself to a good meal tonight, the shameless woman shamelessly followed her home.

"Finally, I can get some rest." Stretching, Lin Xueyin took her clothes to her bathroom. Although this wasn't Earth and didn't have Earth's high technology, it had still developed a series of magical civilizations. At least, these magical lamps and magical showers weren't much different from those on Earth, and were even more convenient.

Warm water slowly cascades down the graceful curves to the ground, humming a song I learned in China, as I feel my tired body gradually find relief.

Meanwhile, figures appeared outside, all masked, quietly lying in wait in the surrounding alleys, keeping a close eye on the Sacred Heart Hospital, which was bustling with people during the day.

This very unfamiliar naming method left people somewhat puzzled, but it didn't cause much of a stir in this small town. Only the pastor left a deep impression on everyone.

She possesses a beautiful face, superb medical skills, and powerful priestly abilities. But what is most admirable and unforgettable is her kind heart. She is willing to exchange what can be described as a cheap sum of money for a priest's full-fledged healing. What else could this be but kindness?

However, even with such kindness, she did not receive the expected goodwill in return. At the very least, there are already people watching her closely, plotting against her.

Humming a song whose lyrics she had forgotten, Lin Xueyin put on her loungewear piece by piece, a satisfied smile appearing on her cute little face.

Taking out the snacks she had made herself, Lin Xueyin put her beautiful legs on the chair in front of her, picked up a book, and carefully looked at the words on it. That's right, it was time for her to learn to read.

Although she had arrived here, Lin Xueyin could only understand the local language, but she was not good at writing. Since she had nothing better to do, she decided to learn to write as a way to relieve the boredom of her life.

In particular, the town's nightlife was not as vibrant as that on Earth, which gave Lin Xueyin more free time to learn things she didn't know.

The bright magic lamps were installed specifically for him by some mercenaries, and even the magic crystals needed for these lamps were given to him for free by those mercenaries, as a way of repaying him for the healing he had given them.

Lin Xueyin let out a soft breath, silently opened her book, and was just about to continue her studies when she suddenly paused as her finger touched the page. She had actually entered a battle at home! Entered a battle! Entered a battle...

With a look of utter disbelief, Lin Xueyin had no idea what terrible luck she had encountered, that someone would come and cause trouble in her own home.

Although she didn't understand the other party's purpose, she still hoped that it was just a misunderstanding. Unfortunately, just as she stood up from the chair in her pajamas, she saw a group of masked men rushing in.

I already knew how naive my hopes were. As the saying goes, those who come with ill intentions will not come with good intentions. Even on Earth, apart from real cosplayers, there wouldn't be any other kind people dressed like this.

"Who exactly are you people?"

"Little girl, we don't want to hurt you. It's just that you messed with the wrong person. As long as you come with us obediently, we won't do anything to you."

The leader stared intently at the girl in her pajamas, her fair skin, partially obscured by the fabric, constantly tempting their eyes. Her freshly washed hair lay softly on her head, exuding an alluring languid charm.

"Boss, we really shouldn't do anything to her. This girl is absolutely gorgeous. How about we have some fun with her first?"

With such a beautiful woman before them, it would be quite suspicious if these desperate men didn't have any thoughts about her. So, naturally, some of them had already set their evil gazes on the delicate and powerless girl in front of them.
