Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Tomorrow, the Scent of Death

Chu Qianli was indeed in a lot of pain right now.

For no apparent reason, her stomach hurt terribly.

She wanted to take her own pulse to see what was wrong, but Fu Long kept urging her on.

Just as her long fingers touched her wrist, Fu Long squatted down beside her.

"Miss Chu, please start the journey immediately!"

Chu Qianli, left with no choice, could only lean on the tree trunk and stand up.

It was probably something she ate; she didn’t usually have problems like stomachaches.

Moreover, the pain was coming from her lower abdomen... This was the first time she encountered such strange pain and for a while, she couldn’t figure out what the problem was.

"Alright." She walked over to her horse, gripped the saddle, and leapt up.

The moment she sat atop the horse, a wave of pain surged through her abdomen.

She bit her lip, held the reins, took a deep breath, and endured it.

It could be that the deeds of that bastard last night were too wild and had caused this.

After all, the area between her legs was still swollen and aching.

Pain in the lower abdomen, she had heard, was also possible.

That beast!

She looked ahead, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and said coldly, "Depart."

She had half a month’s time, and she didn’t know if it would be enough.

Because at the moment, she still didn’t know the situation at Heifeng Ridge. To get to Heifeng Cliff, they had to pass through Heifeng Ridge first.

Chu Qianli was anxious herself.

She couldn’t blame Fu Long and his men either.

If they failed the mission, going back would mean certain death.

No one wanted to die; everyone just wanted to live well.

Along the way, there were no unnecessary stops.

Fortunately, Chu Qianli’s stomach pain had subsided after resting that night and the next day, it no longer hurt.

Three days later, they reached Qiansui City.

"I heard that this place used to belong to the Prince Gong?"

Qiansui City changed its name because of Prince Gong.

It was said that he was an incredibly powerful figure, a war general who had fought in countless battles.

But later, for a woman, he gave up everything he had.

Some say he died, others say he wandered the world with that woman.

Chu Qianli preferred to believe the latter; at least, it sounded beautiful.

"Leader Fu, have you ever heard the story of Prince Gong?"

They were leaving Qiansui City tomorrow, and after crossing several mountains, they would enter the territory of Heifeng Ridge.

In order not to encounter unforeseen problems, the team changed their previous boisterous way of traveling and stayed in an old temple for the night.

Everyone was resting with their eyes closed, only Chu Qianli couldn’t sleep and moved next to Fu Long to "chat".

Checking her mechanical watch, it was just after eight o’clock. For a modern person, the night was just beginning.

How could she sleep?

Fu Long glanced at her, then closed his eyes again.

"We will be leaving town tomorrow, so you should rest early, Miss," he advised.

"Won’t you chat with me?"

Chu Qianli had felt better in the last two days, no longer suffering from stomachache, and had become more lively.

"If you won’t chat with me, then I’ll have to go out for a walk, or else I’ll suffocate," she threatened.

Fu Long frowned slightly and then opened his eyes to look at her, "Conserve energy..."

"Sleeping at this hour is just torturing oneself, conserve what ghost!" Chu Qianli immediately interrupted him.

Fu Long’s frown deepened.

This girl had been quiet earlier, and he thought her temperament was naturally gentle, but he didn’t expect that once she felt a bit better, she would start making trouble.

Last night she caused such a commotion that everyone stayed out of her way, afraid of her.

And tonight, it was continuing?

"Shall we have some snacks and hold a little tea party?"

It was simply too early, and she was unable to fall asleep no matter what.

Everyone had their eyes closed, unable to sleep, and the silent old temple created an extremely eerie atmosphere.

Even breathing could be heard by those around, which was exhausting for those pretending to be asleep.

She looked at the brothers in her team.

There were about a dozen men, each with a stern expression, not willing to utter a single word.

They looked more like Dead Soldiers than any Medicine Man from Heifeng Cliff.

"What’s this about? We’re just going to gather information tomorrow, not going off to die; why does everyone look so..."

However, as soon as the words "going off to die" left her mouth, the faces of the dozen men changed in an instant.

Indeed, they were all afraid; they just didn’t dare to voice it.

Chu Qianli was not truly fond of bustling scenes, but what’s the use if everyone’s heart is ashen with no fighting spirit at all?

Chu Qianli was a soldier, and a soldier does not wish to see her army devoid of fighting spirit.

"Come on, let’s have some snacks, drink some refreshments, chat, and dream about the future."

Still, there was no response.

About a dozen men, not one of them opened their eyes.

The action planned for tomorrow indeed seemed very dangerous.

But actually, Chu Qianli didn’t have a very clear understanding of Heifeng Ridge and Heifeng Cliff.

Along the way, once she was feeling better, she tried three or four times to ask them for information.

But, no one paid her any attention.

Although Fu Long was willing to speak a few words to her, he was not inclined to say much about Heifeng Ridge, only mentioning what was absolutely necessary.

She didn’t get to hear any gossip about the rumors.

"Really not coming over?"

Taking advantage of everyone resting with their eyes closed, Chu Qianli took out a charcoal burner and pot from the Bracelet System, added charcoal, poured in some solid alcohol, then poured some mineral water into the pot.

Then, she quickly bought a bunch of instant hot pot dishes from the Taobao System, as well as a multitude of Coke and Sprite.

After everything was prepared, she lit the solid alcohol.

As expected, just as the fire ignited, Fu Long immediately opened his eyes.

He smelled the scent of alcohol and flames.

Looking up, Fu Long was completely flabbergasted. What on earth was this?

He stared at Chu Qianli, "Where did this come from?"

It was just a blink of an eye... no, just a moment of resting with closed eyes, and this girl had found so much food?

And a pot too?

"Found it here in the old temple," was the answer Chu Qianli always gave.

After all, nobody knew the secret of her Bracelet System, so she insisted it was found, who could prove her wrong?

Even if there were suspicions, there was no evidence to prove she was lying, right?

The brothers all opened their eyes, one by one looking stunned.

This... found? How could it be possible?

When they had entered earlier for safety, they had checked inside and outside the old temple several times.

Where would these items have come from?

"It really was found, just over there."

Chu Qianli pointed to a corner, her face the picture of innocence, "Didn’t you find it when you checked earlier? How careless!"

The brothers looked at each other, disbelief written on their faces.

It wasn’t that they were annoyed with the young girl for calling them careless; rather, they were truly frustrated with their own oversight.

How could they not have noticed?

"Maybe someone lived here before, who had prepared everything to eat but suddenly had to leave and abandoned everything."

Chu Qianli smiled with her eyes curved, just as the spicy hot pot broth started to boil, wafting a strong and appetizing aroma.

She picked up the disposable chopsticks and immediately added some lamb rolls to the soup.

"Come over quickly. It’s free to eat; don’t waste it."

Fu Long, however, grasped her wrist as she was about to enjoy the cooked lamb slices, and said in a deep voice, "It’s poisoned!"
