No Initiating, No Refusing, No Taking Responsibility
"Young Master, you don't mean to bring him into the village, do you?"
One of his men walked up to Ma Die and said in a low voice.
Ma Die turned her head, and her smiling, charming face instantly turned cold.
Is there a problem?
The subordinate's expression froze. You weren't treating that scholar like this just now, so why the sudden change when it comes to me?
"But the Great Miao Lord has explicitly forbidden it, prohibiting outsiders from entering the village."
The subordinate advised.
"Mind your own business. I'll handle this. Just keep your mouths shut, or don't blame me for being rude."
Ma Die said coldly, her eyes carrying a clear warning.
The subordinate shrank back and dared not say another word.
"What happened?"
Gao Yunyi asked.
"It's alright, it's alright, we'll be there soon. Are you hungry? Should I have someone go and get you a baby chicken to roast?"
Ma Die instantly changed her expression, smiling radiantly.
The subordinates. "..."
"Need not."
Gao Yunyi simply smiled and declined the other party's offer.
But that faint smile made Ma Die's heart beat half a second slower.
How can there be such a handsome man in this world?
I must have him.
Even if it takes every possible means.
The sky gradually darkened.
Night began to fall.
A village built against the mountain came into view, resembling a crouching, sleeping beast in the night.
"Weren't you going to take me out?"
Gao Yunyi looked at Ma Die and asked.
"It's getting dark, and the road is difficult to travel. Stay at my house for the night, and I'll take you out of the mountains tomorrow."
Ma Die explained, her face full of sincerity.
Gao Yunyi felt that this sentence sounded so familiar, just like those scumbag men in modern society who try to lure women into having sex.
Didn't we agree that I would be the scumbag?
How did the roles reverse, with the guest taking the lead?
I was indeed too naive and inexperienced.
"Good."
Gao Yunyi nodded.
Seeing that the other party had no doubt about her intentions, Ma Die was overjoyed. She first gave Gao Yunyi a sincere smile, but the next second her expression changed immediately.
"Take off your clothes."
"Ah???"
The subordinate who was singled out looked bewildered, but under the young master's coercion, he obediently began to undress.
A moment later,
Gao Yunyi was now wearing a black Miao clothing, while the unlucky guy shivered in the back.
It looks so good!
They look just as good in their own Miao people costumes.
Ma Die looked at Gao Yunyi, who was dressed in Miao clothing, her eyes seemingly sparkling like stars.
What is this for?
Gao Yunyi asked.
"Our Black Li Stockade has strict rules and doesn't allow outsiders to enter. We'll have to trouble you to make do with this."
Ma Die explained sincerely.
"Fine."
Gao Yunyi continued speaking sparingly, as if he had no doubt about Ma Die's words at all.
It's said that scholars from the Central Plains are the easiest to deceive, and it turns out that's really true.
Although today's plan failed, we ended up with such a handsome young man; it's as if the Beast God has blessed us.
Ma Die was secretly delighted, but she didn't show it on her face at all.
Then, he led Gao Yunyi was dressed as a Black Miao, towards the village.
Gao Yunyi walked among the group of the Black Miao Tribe people, and because of the darkness of the night, he was difficult to spot without careful observation.
"Greetings, young master."
When the Miao people guarding the village gate saw that it was the young master returning, they immediately bowed in greeting.
"Get out of here."
Ma Die shouted coldly, and the guards immediately made way without even bothering to check.
That's all,
Ma Die led her men and walked openly into the Black Li Stockade.
Inside Black Li Stockade,
Rows of stilted wooden houses are arranged along the mountainside, their wood dark in color, with animal bones hanging high from the corners of the roofs.
The stockade walls were made of rough wood and brambles, and the wooden pillars were carved with snake and insect patterns.
The bluestone path was damp and covered with moss, and a strange, indescribable smell permeated the air.
Torches had already been lit in the village, making the Black Miao's lair appear even more sinister and eerie.
Gao Yunyi was led by Ma Die into a stilted wooden building, and into a women's room full of exotic charm.
The wooden house is built with dark brown old cedar wood, and the window frames are carved with patterns of coiled snakes and black butterflies.
The curtains were made of dark purple gauze embroidered with butterflies, and silver bells shaped like animal teeth hung from the corners, tinkling softly in the breeze.
On one side of the table were silver jewelry boxes, and on the other side were neatly arranged cloth-covered pottery urns, the contents of which were unknown, and rustling sounds slowly filled the room.
Ma Die spoke as she lit the lamp.
"You're sleeping here tonight. Don't go outside. If someone finds out, even I can't protect you."
"Thank you for taking me in, Miss."
Gao Yunyi sat on the soft bed and began to speak.
He is no longer a high and mighty Immortal; he must be polite, civilized, and abide by the rules.
"You scholars from the Central Plains speak so pleasantly, unlike us Miao people men, who are so crude and barbaric."
Ma Die's charming and delicate face became incredibly captivating under the light.
Gao Yunyi simply smiled politely and then remained silent.
"Alright, you can rest now."
After saying this, Ma Die closed the door and left the house.
He was just like a virtuous gentleman who could remain unmoved even with a woman in his lap.
But Gao Yunyi didn't trust her character. Although she had concealed it well, there was a greedy desire in her naturally alluring eyes that wanted to devour him alive.
Although Gao Yunyi had never been in a relationship, he had read the scumbag quotes of Boss Tong, who was known as the "founding father" of scumbags, online.
Not proactive, not refusing, not taking responsibility.
No matter how much the other party tries to be nice to us, we remain steadfast in our principles.
Gao Yunyi also wanted to see what this Miao woman, who had been pretending and enduring all along, really wanted to do.
At this moment, the sincerity on Ma Die's face vanished completely as she closed the door.
Instead, what appeared before them was a surging, undisguised greed and wickedness.
She had never wanted something so badly, as if she wanted to possess it immediately.
She had endured and pretended the whole way, and now that her prey had been lured into the room, she no longer needed to hold back.
"Young master, wait for me, I'll be right there."
Ma Die couldn't help but lick her lips, a glint of fervent greed flashing in her eyes.
Her gentle and sincere demeanor from just moments before vanished, leaving only the sinister and yearning nature unique to the Black Miao Gu woman.
"Butterfly, where did you go today?"
Just as Ma Die was about to take a bath and change her clothes, and then get some trinkets to enhance the mood, she was suddenly stopped by a voice, and her body trembled violently.
A beautiful woman, still possessing a certain charm, slowly emerged from the wooden corridor. Her long, black hair was loosely styled into a Miao-style bun, adorned with a large silver hairpin with a snake pattern, and a few strands of hair fell to the side of her neck. She wore a pair of large, crescent-shaped silver earrings that swayed gently with her movements.
Her Miao attire accentuated her slender figure, exuding a mature and alluring charm. Her eyebrows and eyes bore a resemblance to Ma Die's, yet she possessed a more mature and sophisticated allure than a young girl.
"Mother."
