The burly man was stunned. Just as he was about to lash out, I had already swiftly moved, and in the blink of an eye, my soft sword was precisely and steadily positioned at his neck. I coldly surveyed the group behind him and said, “This young lady doesn’t want to be some bandit’s wife. I’m bored anyway, so I’ve decided to become your boss and stay at your stronghold for a few days. Anyone have any objections?”
“No, no… no objection, miss… miss is welcome, stay… stay… stay!” These men seemed to have just started their bandit career. Seeing my imposing manner, their legs went weak, especially the man under my sword, whose legs were trembling like autumn leaves.
“Young… Young Miss!” Yu Rao poked her head out from the carriage, asking timidly, “Are you really going to their stronghold?”
“Of course!” I neatly retracted my soft sword and reinserted it at my waist, turning to look at her. “I’ve never seen what a bandit stronghold looks like. It’s a rare opportunity today, and I definitely want to experience being a mountain boss!”
Turning my head, I saw the group of men about to slip away. I leisurely and coldly said, “Come. Back. Here.”
A dozen burly men instantly stood like statues, obediently turning around and laughing awkwardly.
I walked up to them in a few steps, lightly furrowing my brow. “What, you want to run away now? Looks like you’re not welcoming me, huh?”
One bandit immediately burst into tears, “Miss, we know we were wrong. Please spare us! We have elderly and children at home. We were forced to rob on the mountain road out of desperation…”
At the mountain stronghold entrance, dressed in blue, with black hair, elegant eyebrows and starry eyes, his expression was as cold as a December wind – it was clearly Meiying.
“It’s you?” I couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t even glance at me, his gaze directly falling on the group of people behind me. His thin lips parted, radiating a murderous aura, and he coldly said: “Let her go!”
Huh?
Was she referring to me?
