Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 835 - 833_1

Chapter 835: Chapter 833_1

Yang Liu watched as the figure in black took the life-saving pill Xiao’er had given her and left, he even identified the master’s identity.

Yang Liu felt a rush of panic in her heart. Bearing the pain, she tried to struggle, but this only caused her wounds to bleed even faster.

Yang Liu tried to break free from the iron chains in order to go out and inform Shangguan Xuanyi.

But she expended all her remaining strength and still failed to break free from the chains.

In the end, she wasn’t sure if it was due to blood loss or the unbearable pain, but she fell unconscious.

After leaving the dungeon, the figure in black quickly returned to his own room. He took out the bottle again, removed the cap, and emptied out the pills.

As soon as cap was lifted, an aroma that invigorated the spirit was released from the bottle.

The figure in black looked at the three colored pills, recalling the words his master had spoken before.

He quickly returned the pills to the bottle, then he wrote a quick letter and called for his servant, "Deliver this letter and these pills to..."

"Yes!" The servant took the letter and the pills and rode quickly away.

The figure in black, surveying the pitch-black night sky, was thinking about the next steps.

Those two people should be Prince Rui and Princess Rui of Minze Country!

The Master came to Minze Country for Princess Rui! For the formula of those pills and the cultivation method of the super rice!

What if he kidnapped the two as hostages?

He wouldn’t believe that the Emperor of Minze Country would not yield the super rice cultivation method!

With this in mind, he strode out.

...

The night deepened, the surroundings were silent except for the chirping of insects.

Sun Yang in the opposite cell slept extremely deeply.

Xiao’er, who was waiting for the absence of movement outside, felt an unbearable impatience.

Multiple attempts to reassure her by Shangguan Xuanyi had failed to calm her anxious heart.

It should be safe now. Xiao’er gave Shangguan Xuanyi a look.

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded, "Let’s go out now."

Xiao’er easily unlocked the cell door with her hairpin. Shangguan Xuanyi watched Xiao’er’s skills, the corner of his mouth twitched: "Girl, if I didn’t know better, I would have thought you were a seasoned thief. How did you learn to pick locks?"

"Born talent, actually, I feel that it’s simply a waste not to become a thief! But if I did become a thief, I would definitely be an exceptional one!"

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Xiao’er’s proud expression, permitting himself a moment of speechlessness. Was he mistaken? Why did he feel that becoming a thief was such a glorious endeavor!

"Brother Shangguan, what if we stop being the prince and princess, and instead roam the world of martial arts as a pair of heroic thieves?"

She really wants to become a thief? Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Xiao’er’s expectant face and poured cold water on her idea: "No good. I don’t need to steal to perform acts of chivalry."

Xiao’er pursed her lips: she’s really not chivalrous at all!

Yet due to Shangguan Xuanyi’s teasing, Xiao’er’s anxiety began to dissipate.

"Let’s go!" Xiao’er’s tone was much calmer.

Seeing this, Shangguan Xuanyi let out a sigh of relief. When people are in a state of anxiety, it provides an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage. Fortunately, Xiao’er had calmed down.

The two didn’t speak another word, silently making their way to the cell door.

The cell’s door was made of solid iron, and looked incredibly heavy.

The entire stone cell had only a small skylight, not nearly large enough for a person to pass through. Those trapped inside were as doomed as if they had tried to sprout wings.

The only way they could escape was through the heavy door.

Because the cell was too sturdy and foul-smelling, there were no guards stationed inside. This provided Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi with ample convenience.

Shangguan Xuanyi took out a bead, crushed it forcefully, and then pushed it out through the gap under the door.

The two held their breath and listened for any noise outside, until finally they heard two heavy thuds.

Only then did Shangguan Xuanyi draw his soft sword and inserted it into the gap under the door.

The soft sword was without a doubt extremely sharp, thin as a cicada’s wing, in the hand of someone with great martial arts skill.

He tried to cut through the lock and chain outside directly from the middle.

Xiao’er grabbed Shangguan Xuanyi’s hand: "Brother Shangguan, let me do it."

She wanted to test her current level of martial arts after all the training.

Shangguan Xuanyi let go of his hand and stepped aside at her words.

Xiao’er stepped forward, took a deep breath, and used all her force on the soft sword. A few sparks could be seen through the gap under the door, but it wasn’t enough.

The sword and chain only resulted in a few sparks and a scratch. It was still far from breaking, and Xiao’er knew she could not maintain her strength any longer.

Just then, Shangguan Xuanyi reached over from behind her and grabbed Xiao’er’s hand, exerted force, and broke the chains. The sound of chains falling onto the ground echoed outside.

When the soft sword cut through the chains, Xiao’er felt as if she was cutting through a cucumber—it was so easy and effortless.

Xiao’er sighed in her heart. Aside from hard work, many things also revolved around natural talent. After Shangguan Xuanyi practiced martial arts in her space, his martial arts improved greatly and he ended up surpassing her.

Xiao’er couldn’t help but feel annoyed, "From now on you are not allowed to practice martial arts in the space. Otherwise, when would I be able to defeat you!"

Hearing her words, Shangguan Xuanyi laughed softly, "Okay, from now on I won’t practice martial arts in the space anymore. we’ll only sleep in there."

Hearing this Xiao’er gave him an annoyed glance, and then led the way out, "Dream on! From now on you are not allowed into the space."

"Alright, if you don’t mind only staying in bed all day, not doing anything else." The meaning in Shangguan Xuanyi’s voice was clearly teasing.

Xiao’er immediately caught on to the hidden meaning in his words. Thinking about his stamina, she felt that his words were not just a threat, but a fact. Xiao’er couldn’t resist turning around to glare at him, "Why don’t you focus on real issues instead of always thinking about that!"

"I want you." Shangguan Xuanyi said earnestly.

Xiao’er was left speechless by his shamelessness. Her face heated up:

"Stop thinking about that! Start thinking about how to save Yang Liu!"

"Alright." Shangguan Xuanyi pulled her behind him, then opened the heavy iron door, peeked outside: besides the two guards lying outside the door, there was no one else.

"Let’s go!" Shangguan Xuanyi pulled Xiao’er and stepped outside.

Xiao’er put the broken chains inside the door and then used the chains from inside the cell to lock the door again.

After that, they went into hiding quickly in the dark.

Where could Yang Liu possibly be?

Once they let go of the messenger crow in the daylight, they would know.

They carefully avoided people along the way, and followed the direction that the crow was flying.

The place where Yang Liu was kept wasn’t far from where they were.

The black crow arrived at a certain room, hovered around the roof for a while, then voluntarily flew back onto Shangguan Xuanyi’s shoulder.
