She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 11 - : Someone Reported, All Confiscated
Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Someone Reported, All Confiscated
Huang Huzi was even more like a turncoat, speaking in a gentle and soothing voice, "Elder Princess, please get ready briefly so we can set off."
Xiang Ying nodded.
In truth, she didn't have much to pack. She simply folded the bear skin and placed it in a corner of the wooden cart.
She also checked on Xiang Li's wounds and, as expected, they had become white and soft from being soaked in the rain.
Damn! She had to reapply the medicine.
Finally feeling a bit weary, Xiang Ying walked over to a large rock to sit down.
Unexpectedly, the Seventh Princess briskly stepped out and wiped the rainwater off the stone with her sleeve.
"Big sister, please sit."
Xiang Ying raised an eyebrow.
Why was the Seventh Princess suddenly so courteous?
No sooner had she sat down than a young concubine stepped forward, offering her water collected in leaves.
"Elder Princess, please drink some water and rest a while."
Xiang Ying silently accepted it, suddenly feeling a bit uncomfortable.
These people who had mocked and ridiculed her just a few days ago, why were they all so docile now?
Was it just because she killed a bear?
But what was that in comparison? In the apocalypse, she had killed zombies, which were much trickier than black bears.
Xiang Yuanshuo came over and used her little hands to wipe the blood from her face.
Xiang Ying's phoenix eyes shimmered with laughter, "Do you also feel bad for me?"
Just as Xiang Yuanshuo was about to speak, she smelled the scent of the beast's blood on Xiang Ying and couldn't help but retch, "yue~"
Xiang Ying's expression darkened.
Does it smell that bad?

She sniffed the bear blood on her arm and grimaced disgustingly, "Ugh!"
The stench was unbearable; she really needed to find somewhere to wash.
Tao Xue rushed over, "This servant does not despise the Elder Princess, bleh... Truly doesn't despise, bleh bleh."
Xiang Ying looked at Tao Xue who was on the verge of turning pale and pushed her away without a hint of expression.
They continued to follow the Exile Team, and when they exited the forest, the rain finally stopped, and the sky turned to night.
The scent on Xiang Ying became even more pronounced.
Huang Huzi approached her, "Some Military Supervisors discussed it and decided the bear bile and bear paw should be ours, the rest the Elder Princess can keep."
Xiang Ying nodded, "Is there a water source nearby?"
She needed to wash herself.
Huang Huzi pointed her to a direction, "There's a pool of water over there."
The three children also wanted to go with Xiang Ying, but were held back by Huang Huzi.
Huang Huzi forced a smile, "Elder Princess, please go and return quickly; otherwise, if everyone goes, it would be hard for me to explain."
He feared Xiang Ying might run away and wanted to keep the children as leverage.
Xiang Ying instructed Tao Xue to watch the children, "I will just wash and come back, you start a fire and roast bear meat, share it with everyone."
With that, Xiang Ying set off alone in the direction of the pool.
No sooner had she left than everyone began to discuss.
"I did not expect the Elder Princess to possess such courage and ability, battling a black bear and protecting us all."
"I had underestimated the Elder Princess before, it seems our Xizhou still has spirited individuals!"
Hearing the praises for Xiang Ying, Xiang Qianqian felt like acid was bubbling inside her, it was an unpleasant feeling.
Yu Pin had just come to argue with her, saying she was no match for Xiang Ying, even suggesting pushing others toward death.
Xiang Qianqian felt wronged.
In that situation, she herself was scared; how could she save others?
And Xiang Ying was just lucky, having a crossbow in hand. If she had had a crossbow, she wouldn't be scared either.
Thinking this, Xiang Qianqian suddenly realized something was amiss.
Everyone had been searched, how could Xiang Ying still have a crossbow?
Even if Huang Huzi was bought off by her, he would only allow Xiang Ying to keep some valuables, but how could he not take away a weapon like a crossbow?
Unless Huang Huzi was intentionally providing cover to the end.
Xiang Qianqian had long been displeased with Xiang Ying's behavior, and she immediately stood up and walked to the very front of the team.

She must tell the Military Supervisor about this, so the Supervisor can punish the team leader and Xiang Ying for breaking the rules.
On the other hand.
Moonlight shines on the pool, reflecting a deep blue glow.
Xiang Ying takes off her dirty robe, revealing her white, petite lower legs and ankles.
She loosens her long hair and leaps into the water.
Despite the summer heat, the mountain water is ice cold and bone-chilling, its deep color hiding the bottom.
Most people would have found it eerie.
But for Xiang Ying, it is paradise. During the apocalypse, water was precious, and she had fought with others over just one bottle of water.
She happily dived a couple of times, then took a soap made with jasmine scent from her storage space to wash her hair and shoulders.
When she got out of the water, she found her clothes soaked with beast blood - completely unwearable.
Luckily, Xiang Ying had brought several sets of clothing from her brother Xiang Li before taking a bath.
Originally, everyone had taken off their clothes to make a comfortable bedding for Xiang Li, convenient now for Xiang Ying's use.
She put on the robe, but her delicate and voluptuous body made the man's garment look too big!
The sleeves were especially loose.
Xiang Ying tore off a strip of cloth to use as a belt, tying it around her waist to secure the clothes.
After she finished, she felt a bit hungry.
Fighting the black bear and skinning it had exhausted her!
Xiang Ying looked around, making sure no one was spying on her, and then took out delicious food from her storage space one after another.
A bowl of chicken soup with dumplings, a piece of soy sauce beef, and a plate of boiled vegetables.
All of these were taken from the imperial kitchen, which was preparing exquisite dishes for her father and the concubines when the kingdom fell.
Her father alone would need thirty-six dishes for a single meal, not to mention those indulgent concubines.
Now, they worked in Xiang Ying's favor.
After devouring the fragrant and warm chicken dumplings, she felt her energy returning.
The soy sauce beef was aromatic and tender, the meat was not dry but melt-in-your-mouth, paired with a few bites of green vegetables, and lastly, Xiang Ying took out a melon from the space, ate half, and returned the rest to the space.
She wiped her mouth, feeling satisfied, draped her damp hair over her shoulders, and returned to the location where the soldiers were stationed.
As soon as she got back, she heard Xiang Yuanshuo's soft, questioning voice: "This is our bear skin, why should it be yours!"
Tao Xue also yelled: "Let go, you let go, ah—"
When Xiang Ying heard Tao Xue's cry, she immediately quickened her pace and rushed back.
By the fire, Tao Xue was slapped down by Huang Huzi who was carrying the bear skin, and Xiang Yuanshuo clung tightly to the bear skin refusing to let go.
Huang Huzi dared to hit Tao Xue, but feared hitting a child, wary of Xiang Ying going mad.
All he could do was impatiently say: "What's the matter with you? How many times have I told you, the Military Supervisor ordered everything to be confiscated!"
Xiang Ying rushed forward with a strong step, kicking Huang Huzi in the back, causing him to let out a wail of pain.
About to get angry, he turned around and saw Xiang Ying, his momentum instantly decreased by half, but his eyes remained sinister.
"Stealing my bear skin? Doesn't the Military Supervisor's word count for anything?" Xiang Ying's black hair was damp, clinging to her fair and beautiful cheeks, making her appear even more delicate and pretty.
Huang Huzi gritted his teeth, dusted off the dirt on his body, and patiently explained again.
"Somebody reported you for hiding knives. According to the rules, all your belongings must be confiscated. If you have a complaint, go ask the Military Supervisor."
"Which Military Supervisor?"
"Jie Chen, our Mr. Jie."
After Huang Huzi finished speaking, Xiang Ying headed straight for the front of the Exile Team.
Xiang Yuanshuo wanted to follow, but was stopped by the soldiers.
The further forward, the more soldiers there were on guard.
Xiang Ying, with her fair appearance, instantly drew the attention of everyone.
All eyes followed her as she walked past, leaving behind the scent of jasmine in the light of the fire.
These soldiers, hungry and thirsty for beauty, usually harbored lecherous thoughts.
But for some reason, when they saw Xiang Ying, thinking of her efficiency in killing and skinning the bear, as if she was equally adept at skinning humans, their admiration for her beauty was mingled with a dose of fear.
"Where is Jie Chen, the Military Supervisor?" Xiang Ying inquired.
Someone pointed her to a direction.
Three Military Supervisors were camped at an elevated position, for easy oversight and management of the team.
Xiang Ying headed straight for the forest on the hillside.
