Huoyan Nan stood on the city wall, looking down. He saw two people walking towards him, dressed in strange attire. The petite figure was clearly a woman, yet she wore an exposed outfit. Her head of multicolored short hair radiated a bewitching light.
Although she had a fresh and beautiful face and an alluring figure, she was unfortunately a shameless woman. The man was tall and imposing, with an extraordinary appearance. His short hair and peculiar clothing made him stand out from his surroundings.
Previously, while pursuing the fleeing Manyi national army, he had long since spotted them. He knew they were hiding in the forest undergrowth. Today, however, he unexpectedly spared their lives.
From the recent battlefield to Ancheng, it would take about two hours on foot. Without horses, coming to Ancheng was their only choice.
Shan Xiaoya felt a burning gaze fixed on her. Looking back, she saw a man standing on the city wall – the same one who had been at the forefront of the battle, with cold, sharp eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. His face showed no warmth, and his entire being exuded a violent aura that chilled those around him. Shan Xiaoya disdainfully raised an eyebrow. She involuntarily lowered her score of him and let her eyes drift elsewhere.
Shen Zhonglei, seeing the cold-blooded man on the city gate tower, became wary. His entire body entered a state of readiness.
Shen Zhonglei looked guarded, Shan Xiaoya looked strange.
With two different moods, they entered Ancheng one after the other. The city gate guards seemed to have known they were coming, only looking at them strangely without stopping them…
Huoyan Nan noticed the disdain in her eyes, and his already emotionless face darkened further. After whispering something to his deputy, he swept away from the gate tower…
Entering Ancheng was a stark contrast to the previous silence and emptiness. The streets were bustling with people – some selling, some buying, some calling out, some bargaining… a scene of prosperity. Shan Xiaoya looked at this harmonious scene, awkwardly glancing at her own attire, which was completely different. She was now in a sorry state, her clothes wet and clinging uncomfortably to her body. Looking back, she saw Shen Zhonglei was in a similar condition.
