Until one day, Qing Lin saw her own name in this diary.
That man named Chen Changxin had actually said she was his little wife.
And he had mentioned her more than once.
It made Qing Lin feel both shy and embarrassed. She was still just a child—how could she possibly be his little wife?
Besides, she had not even met him yet!
Qing Lin felt that although Chen Changxin was a little lecherous, a little too fond of wishful thinking, and a little too talkative, he was otherwise quite a good person.
Especially since their shared experience of being fellow sufferers gave Qing Lin a special feeling toward Chen Changxin.
"Am I really going to watch him be harmed by a succubus?"
"Shimo City's most luxurious restaurant?!"
"Should I go save her?"
After hesitating for a moment, Qing Lin rose and walked out of her thatched hut!
"Damn it, damn it! You shameless, rogue, evil bastard! You were clearly the one who caused all this!"
"You actually dared to call me a dried corpse, a succubus, and a flower-plucking bandit."
"What a complete idiot!"
Elsewhere!
After dealing with the soldiers, Xiao Yi Xian saw Chen Changxin's updated diary and was immediately dumbfounded.
She knew Chen Changxin was self-pitying and lustful, but she had not expected him to be this shameless!
The moment she stepped out through the arched gate, she saw Chen Changxin standing off to the side watching the spectacle.
"Chen Changxin, how dare you frame me!!!"
Xiao Yi Xian stared fixedly at Chen Changxin. Like explosives that had been lit, she planted her hands on her hips, puffed out her cheeks, and spoke indignantly.
"Frame you? Do you have any proof?"
"I'm warning you—without proof, you're slandering this prince. Bear the consequences yourself!" Chen Changxin said disdainfully, sword in one hand and arms folded across his chest.
The moment she opened her mouth, it was slander.
She was definitely a repeat offender. No wonder she had followed him all this way—she had been after this prince all along!
"You—" Xiao Yi Xian's face turned pale with anger. Pointing at Chen Changxin, she gritted her teeth and said, "You're nothing but a scoundrel, a hooligan! You bully people."
Chen Changxin frowned.
The next moment, without even looking back, he dashed away behind him.
"..."
Xiao Yi Xian was dumbfounded. What did he mean?
The next moment, hurried footsteps and chaotic shouts of battle came from behind her.
"Damn it, they're picking on our brothers! Do they really think Shimo City is made of clay?!"
"Brothers, catch that bitch, and that young man from earlier too! Those two are definitely together—don't let them get away!"
"Chop them to death!!!!"
"..."
Seeing the armored soldiers charging at her from behind with torches and weapons in hand, Xiao Yi Xian was in complete disarray.
Looking at Chen Changxin's lingering shadow at the street corner, she gritted her teeth. "Shameless! You're too shameless, Chen Changxin! I'm not done with you!"
With that, Xiao Yi Xian took off after Chen Changxin in the direction he had fled.
Vast Desert Lone Smoke!
The most luxurious five-star restaurant in Shimo City.
Its painted dome and European architectural style made it fully comparable to the City Lord's Manor.
At this moment, outside the Vast Desert Lone Smoke restaurant, armored patrol soldiers passed by from time to time, searching for the male and female bandits who had infiltrated Shimo City!
On a secluded street across from it stood two figures dressed in black robes.
"Wait. What did you say your name was?"
"My name is Xiao Yi Xian. My name will not change whether I stand or sit!"
"You're sure your name is Xiao Yi Xian? Not some little enchantress or little viper?"
"Chen Changxin!!! What do you mean by that? Do I need to lie to you?"
In the narrow alley, Xiao Yi Xian stood with her hands on her hips, baring her teeth at the man before her, whose face was filled with contempt and suspicion. If she had been able to beat him, Xiao Yi Xian would definitely have bitten him and shown him just how formidable she was.
"."
Chen Changxin was speechless. He simply could not connect the little coal ball before him with Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yi Xian should have been in Qingshan Town!
Qing Lin was the one in Shimo City.
Could he have remembered wrong?!
Or had Xiao Yi Xian somehow split into two and appeared in Shimo City?!
Although her identity was highly suspicious, there was no denying that she had the figure of a temptress.
Especially that perky chest—it was simply incredible!
Chen Changxin felt that if he merely stretched a little, he would be able to touch it. He felt it was necessary to inspect the goods and make sure there were no artificial enhancements.
He rubbed his nose, turned around, then turned back.
He turned around again, then turned back again.
In the narrow alley, Chen Changxin looked deeply conflicted.
He took a step forward, then retreated one.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Yi Xian was getting increasingly flustered and irritated by Chen Changxin rubbing against her.
"Ah, my waist hurts. I'm exercising my five limbs!" Chen Changxin said blankly as he rubbed his nose.
"Your waist hurts? That means your kidneys are bad. What does that have to do with five limbs?!"
"No, people only have four limbs. Where did you get a fifth limb?"
Xiao Yi Xian immediately revealed a stunned expression. She lowered her head to look at her chest, then raised her head again.
Her eyes met Chen Changxin's utterly sincere gaze.
"Ah!!! You shameless lecherous thief, you—" Xiao Yi Xian clenched her delicate fists, but before she could finish, a large hand directly covered her mouth.
"What, me? Did you think this Young Master was some refined gentleman who would take advantage of you?"
"I was merely checking whether you still had any poison on you."
Chen Changxin looked disdainful. "You're a fugitive now. If you draw the soldiers here, just wait to rot in prison!"
Only then did Chen Changxin release Xiao Yi Xian. He turned around openly and headed toward the five-star Vast Desert Lone Smoke restaurant not far away.
His hand clenched loosely as a wicked smile flashed in his eyes. All natural. Even the cherries are swollen.
This Young Master has decided—whether you're Xiao Yi Xian or some little demoness, from now on, you are this Young Master's woman to spread the Dao across the continent.
"Pah, you shameless scoundrel! You were clearly taking advantage of me, yet you still put on the airs of a righteous gentleman!"
Watching Chen Changxin's retreating back, Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks flushed as her heart raced. She spat lightly in his direction and snarled.
When the attendant at the entrance saw Chen Changxin, he hurried over to greet him.
"Young Master, may I ask whether you are dining or staying the night?"
He had seen countless people and had a sharp eye. From Chen Changxin's clothing and bearing alone, he could tell that this was definitely a distinguished guest.
"Both lodging and dining. This Young Master wants your most luxurious room!"
As he spoke, Chen Changxin took out a stack of gold coins and handed it to the attendant.
The attendant's eyes lit up when he saw them!
"A Heavenly-class distinguished guest!"
His attitude became even more respectful as he gestured for Chen Changxin to enter.
"Where did this beggar come from? Get lost. This isn't somewhere you belong."
Then, seeing Xiao Yi Xian enter the restaurant with her entire body blackened, the attendant hurriedly drove her back out.
"Damn it, are you blind? This lady is not a beggar!" Xiao Yi Xian froze, then put her hands on her hips and threatened him.
To actually be mistaken for a beggar—she was too embarrassed to face anyone.
"Lodging or dining? This establishment does not allow credit. Pay first!" The attendant held out his hand and looked at Xiao Yi Xian with contempt.
"."
Xiao Yi Xian was speechless.
Money... when she left Myriad Medicine House, she had brought some with her, but while fleeing just now, she had lost it all.
