ople dining in the same restaurant all changed expressions and subconsciously placed their hands on their waists.Their movements clearly indicated they were about to draw their swords from their waist...Yunliu was very anxious, he wanted to leave that day, but Moyunjing stopped him.

"Take the tiger meat and skin to sell, and exchange them for grain."

"Okay."

Before leaving, go to the mountains to hunt some game and raise them in the yard. Don't let Tangtang worry about food and shelter.

Yunliu nodded, "Understood."

Now Yunliu is brimming with energy. Every time he thinks about his master not being dead, a fire ignites within him, burning fiercely.

That day, Yunliu sold both the tiger meat and the tiger skin, then bought a large quantity of medicinal herbs that An Xue Tang needed. He also exchanged enough grain for the two of them to eat for three months, all fine rice and white flour.

Selling tiger meat and tiger skin brought in a total of 80 taels of silver, but just buying medicine cost 30 taels, and buying grain and seasoning cost 3 taels.

Yun Liu gave the remaining 47 taels to An Xue Tang. An Xue Tang only took 7 taels, and told Yun Liu to keep the remaining forty taels. He said that one couldn't go out without some money.

Besides, he still has to buy lilies.

Yunliu didn't refuse, but through this incident, his favorability towards An Xuetang rose to a whole new level.

The next day, Yunliu went to the mountains and caught dozens of wild chickens and rabbits, raising them separately in the courtyard.

An Xuetang saw his energetic appearance and, after thinking for a moment, went to the kitchen to make him some pancakes.

Early morning on the third day, after breakfast, Yun Liu put on his small backpack and was ready to set off.

"Master, I will definitely find the lily of the valley back. Take care of yourself."

"Well, be careful," Mo Yunjing looked up at him, "Yunliu, how many years have you been with me"

"Reporting to my master, I have been with you for fifteen years, ever since I was five."

"Well, I think you already know what I want to say. If this is my fate, just go back to them. I tore up your contracts a long time ago. You can go wherever you want, no one can stop you."

"Master!" Yunliu trembled with fear, "I will definitely bring back the lily flower. Your poison can surely be cured."

Mo Yunjing waved his hand. "Go."

He knew Yunliu and their personalities, no matter how much he said, as long as there was a sliver of hope they wouldn't give up.

Yunliu clasped his hands together and said, "My master, take care."

After saying that, he turned and left.

An Xuetang was waiting in the courtyard. When Yun Liu Yi came out, she handed him a package. “This is the dried food I prepared for you to eat on the road. The steamed buns can’t be kept for long, finish them before tomorrow, those cookies can be kept for a few more days.”

“Thank you, sister-in-law,” Yun Liu’s eyes welled up with tears. After thanking her, he took the package and hurried away, not daring to look at An Xue Tang.

Fearing she would see his awkwardness.

An Xuetang watched his back, a little envious. She could tell that Yunliu's feelings for Ahjing were sincere.

It's just not like her... She always thought she had a 'best friend', but that person pushed her into an abyss. Thinking about it really hurts!

An Xue Tang returned to the room, she calmly looked at Mo Yun Jing on the bed, "How long does it take to go to Yunnan from here"

"As fast as a month."

An Xuetang sat beside him, naturally taking his hand and feeling his pulse, "Your poison can last at most half a year. I hope he can bring back the lily flower by then."

Mo Yunjing's eyes, as deep and cold as a winter lake, narrowed slightly. "Tangtang, if I can't cure it, will you be sad"

An Xuetang lowered her eyelids, pondering his words, “I suppose so.”

After all, in this strange world, he was the only one who had ever shown her kindness.

Mo Yunjing raised the corners of his mouth ever so slightly, as if in a dream, "Then I can't die. I wouldn't bear to see Tangtang sad."

"...."

Is she being flirted with

An Xuetang smiled, "It turns out that Jing not only looks good, but he's also a warm guy."

"A good guy"

He is the kind of man who can warm people's hearts.

Mo Yunjing smirked, heartwarming, wasn't it

He wasn't sure if he was warm or not, but it was undeniable that many people mentioned him, and it sent chills down their spines.

An Xuetang let go of his hand, "Ah Jing, may I ask your age"

"Twenty-four"

"So you were poisoned at fourteen" Fourteen years old In their world, that's just a naive middle school student.

"Hmm."

Mo Yunjing's deep eyes stared at her. She was deeply engrossed in thought, like a beautiful landscape, firmly imprinted in his gaze.

"An Xuetang felt a pang of sympathy for him, "Ah Jing, I'll protect you from now on, okay"

"... "

Mo Yunjing's heart suddenly surged, like a calm lake rippling with waves and slowly exploding.

He had never thought that in his life he would meet someone who would say to him, "I will protect you."

Later, Mo Yunjing knew what his current feeling was called - heartbeat. And his heartbeat only needed that one instant. Once it began, there was no turning back.

An Xuetang felt her cheeks heat up under his gaze. She added, "Let me protect you until Yunliu comes back."

"Good." A light, almost imperceptible, shone in Mo Yunjing's eyes that he himself didn't notice.

An Xuetang smiled, "Then it's settled. From now on, let me protect you."

"Why do you want to protect me"

"Because...Ah Jing is so handsome."

She wished he could be as handsome as he looked. Despite how well he hid it, she always caught glimpses of his discontent and weariness.

She wanted to see him speaking arrogantly, full of swagger, even walking with an air of wind.

She thought, if there came a day like that, she would surely be captivated by him, after all, she already admired his looks.

Mo Yunjing smiled, naturally raising his hand to pinch her face.

An Xuetang was again captivated by him. The sunshine seemed to be gathered together by his smile and then released, so dazzling and beautiful.

An Xue Tang was afraid of getting too deep, so she quickly lowered her head and cleared her throat. "However... could I discuss something with you"

"Huh"

"I protect you, detoxify for you, conditionally."

Mo Yunjing retracted his hand, his index finger and thumb rubbing back and forth subtly, "What conditions"

An Xuetang raised her eyes and spoke with great determination, "I want freedom."

She cured him, but he had to give her freedom.

She knew she could run anytime, but in such a time, where could a woman like her possibly run to

She wanted to live freely and independently, the only way to do so was for him to legally and reasonably let her go, and she didn't need to return to her family home.

She thought about it carefully. Ah Jing and Yun Liu didn't seem like ordinary people. After Ah Jing's antidote worked, he and Yun Liu would leave sooner or later. Then after they left, she could live a carefree life by herself.

She believes that with all her skills, she won't starve.

Mo Yun Jing's divine thoughts tightened, his pitch-black, profound eyes staring at her, "Does Tangtang want to leave me"

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. "We're not from the same world to begin with, so why tie ourselves together I cure your illness, you give me freedom—it's a perfect deal."
