She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 5 - Let’s Go, to the Small Woods

The Sixth Princess, who had just been protecting Xiang Qianqian, was now shrieking heartbreakingly.

"Xiang Qianqian! You wretch, you stole my hairpin to bribe the Military Supervisor. What am I to do now?" Her clothes were torn apart as two soldiers dragged her away.

Her fair skin exposed to the air, inciting feverish gazes from the soldiers.

Xiang Qianqian hid behind a concubine, shrinking her neck in feigned innocence: "Those originally belonged to me anyway, what could I do when our eldest sister led the bribery?"

As the Sixth Princess was being pulled away, she continued to curse: "Xiang Qianqian, you won't die a good death!"

But when she was dragged into the forest, Xiang Qianqian didn't even lift her head.

When the soldiers returned, the Sixth Princess had become a mutilated corpse, dumped and burned by the roadside.

Xiang Ying coldly observed, her eyes brimming with icy detachment.

Such sanctimonious people like Xiang Qianqian, she had seen plenty during the apocalypse.

Loudly claiming dignity above all, leading with the flag of independence and clarity, but in reality, she was the one who would ruthlessly sacrifice others for her own interests.

After a thorough search, over thirty people died from torture.

The soldiers of Nanyue tossed their bodies by the roadside, set them alight, then cracked their whips, urging the Exile Team to set off.

This display of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys terrified the rest of the noble officials who were considering rebellion, and they all quieted down.

They only reached the next post station when the sunset painted the sky and evening shadows slanted across.

The Military Supervisor and some higher-ranking team leaders had the privilege of sleeping inside the station.

For these exiles, being allowed to sleep in a stable was considered lucky; most would sleep under the open sky.

Huang Huzi came again to trouble Xiang Ying.

"I suddenly remembered, we haven't searched inside your clothes during the day, why don't you strip yourself?"

After he spoke, the soldiers behind him revealed leering, villainous smiles.

As expected by Xiang Ying, Huang Huzi was looking for more favors.

Even if she could give him Silver every time, he had no intention of sparing her.

Xiang Ying's lips parted slightly: "There's no more Silver, let's talk in the woods."

Her suggestion hit the mark, exciting Huang Huzi, his eyes gleaming avidly.

The soldiers around him burst into a ruckus, cheering: "The team leader's fortune with women is not shallow, he's finally got this woman!"

Tao Xue hurried forward, clutching Xiang Ying's sleeve: "Elder Princess..."

Huang Huzi pushed Tao Xue aside: "Your master is so understanding, and you, an ignorant palace maid, why cause trouble? It will be your turn later!"

Xiang Ying calmly instructed Tao Xue: "Take care of the child for me."

With that, she took the lead, stepping boldly into the woods doused in twilight, under the watch of many eyes.

Huang Huzi followed her into the woods, undressing as he went.

Everyone watched, their eyes filled with sympathy.

Xiang Yuanshuo couldn't help but stand up to go after them but was held back by his brother, Xiang Yuanlang.

The three siblings faced each other in silence.

Before long, Huang Huzi's cries could be heard from the woods.

The soldiers laughed loudly: "That's some passion! The team leader is fierce!"

"Don't break her, let us have our share of fun too!"

However, in the woods, Xiang Ying was stepping on Huang Huzi's back, both of his arms and his jaw dislocated by her.

It turned out that Huang Huzi had followed her into the woods cheerfully, only to be caught off guard by Xiang Ying's counterattack.

He had underestimated this woman; he thought she had some skills, but with her hands locked in iron chains, what could she do to him?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huang Huzi entered the woods, Xiang Ying landed a punch on his jaw, instantly dislocating it, so he couldn't even scream for help.

He tried to resist and escape, but Xiang Ying knocked him down with one kick and proceeded to pummel him unilaterally.

Huang Huzi could only kneel on the ground, cursing muffledly, the veins on his forehead bulging.

He should've just killed this woman!

Xiang Ying slapped his face: "Do you submit?"

Huang Huzi glared at her viciously.

Xiang Ying's lips curled into a cold smirk: "It seems you do not."

She pulled a pill from her sleeve.

Huang Huzi became panicked, wanting to recoil, but she pinned him down, immovable.

Xiang Ying whispered: "What to do, this princess not only has some fighting skills but also happens to know some underhanded tricks."

"Before offending me, didn't you make inquiries? I, Xiang Ying, always had the reputation of a villainess. Any man I have an interest in, if he refuses, I feed him this medicine."

"This pill has a pleasant name, called Seven-Day Death. Previously, I only fed it to the rarest beauties in the world, and now you get to eat it, you're getting quite a bargain."

With a sneer, she grabbed Huang Huzi's jaw, tilting it up and forced the pill down his throat.

At the same time, she also shoved his dislocated jawbone back into place.

As soon as he swallowed the pill, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, burning hot.

Huang Huzi was shocked and furious: "Dare you feed me this? Aren't you afraid I'll tell the Military Supervisor, and have him kill you!"

Xiang Ying laughed, her phoenix eyes dark and curved, twinkling with the sharpness of knife blades.

"Go ahead, if I die, without the antidote, you won't survive either. Now that my nation is ruined and my family gone, what do I have to fear? On the other hand, do you have family waiting for you to return?"

Her last haunting question struck right at Huang Huzi's weak spot, instantly igniting his fury.

"A Princess of the Defeated Country dares to threaten me? Don't Nanyue have plenty of skilled doctors who can cure your poison? Besides, I'm not like those cowardly, life-fearing incompetents from Xizhou. Hand over the antidote quickly, or you'll regret it!"

Xiang Ying's face turned cold.

If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit.

Taking advantage of the momentum, she pushed the silver needle previously stuck at the back of his head two inches deeper. Huang Huzi felt as if his head had been struck by a heavy drill.

With each passing moment, the pain intensified, his heart throbbed and ached!

He panicked.

This deadly woman's poison was truly going to claim his life! He wouldn't even make it back to Nanyue, he would be dead!

"Princess, spare my life!" Recognizing the situation, Huang Huzi was a wise man. He fell to the ground with a thud, "I was foolish and ignorant, please spare me!"

Xiang Ying stopped pushing the silver needle.

"Just now you still had so much spine, didn't you?" She arched her eyebrow, "Too late!"

Huang Huzi, drenched in cold sweat from pain: "I will never trouble you again, I'll obey everything you say!"

Xiang Ying lowered her lashes, as if pondering his worth.

Huang Huzi thought of something and went pale: "I...I can't help you escape, or it will implicate my entire family!"

Unexpectedly, Xiang Ying smiled faintly: "My children are in your hands, how can I run?"

How would she enter Capital City and gather supplies if she ran?

Xiang Ying intended to let Nanyue know what it truly meant to invite a wolf into one's house.

After hearing this, Huang Huzi exhaled deeply, a hint of flattery on his face: "Princess, as long as you don't run, I will follow your every command."

"No rush," Xiang Ying sat down on a nearby large rock, and gestured with her fingers, "Where is the Emperor Green you have, bring it out."

Huang Huzi clenched his teeth, didn't want to speak, yet feared her methods.

"It's in my sleeve."

Xiang Ying took it out and tucked it back into her bosom, clicking her tongue, "The antidote I'm giving you, has to be bought with money, how much silver are you planning to offer?"

Huang Huzi suspicious: "Princess, your antidote isn't a fake, is it?"

Xiang Ying fished out a small piece from her sleeve, looking like brown sugar, only as big as a thumbnail.

She pinched Huang Huzi's chin and stuffed it into his mouth: "First, I'll give you half."

Afterward, Xiang Ying quietly pulled out the silver needle from the back of his head.

After Huang Huzi swallowed the sweet "antidote," the burning pain in his chest noticeably lessened.

Seems like, this vicious Princess of Xizhou, Xiang Ying, indeed fed him medicine!

Huang Huzi, though filled with unwillingness, for the sake of staying alive, could only silently curse her ancestors.

He gave in and complied: "I just gathered a few silver notes and trinkets in my bosom, you can take those."

Xiang Ying pulled out a small pouch and peeked inside; not much there.

With the silver note, she slapped Huang Huzi's face: "Useless stuff, just this much? Next time, everything you get has to be given to me, or there's no antidote. Understand?"

"Yes, Princess..." Huang Huzi kept his hatred hidden behind his teeth.

Once he had all the antidote, he would see just how he would kill this wretched woman!

Xiang Ying stood, suddenly feeling a chilling gaze fixed on her back.

She turned around to look.

In the forest, only golden hues of the setting sun spilt over.

Not even a bird in sight.

Xiang Ying released Huang Huzi, and they left the forest one after the other.

A few soldiers immediately surrounded her, thinking Xiang Ying had been violated, and reached out with lecherous laughs.

"Team leader, is it our turn yet?"

However, before their hands reached Xiang Ying, Huang Huzi sternly shouted, "What are you playing at? Get lost!"

The scolded soldier was confused, while Xiang Ying walked past them with an unperturbed face.

She returned to Tao Xue's side, and Tao Xue rushed over with teary eyes: "Princess, are you... are you alright?"

Xiang Ying brushed off her tears: "Of course I'm fine. Come, pack up, we're going to sleep in the stable."

Tao Xue was surprised: "Can we go?"

Those without bribes had to sleep next to the manure piles.

"Yes, the team leader agreed," said Xiang Ying, and Tao Xue quickly gathered the three children.

Passing by Xiang Qianqian, she stared at Xiang Ying: "So disgusting, bartering your body for temporary gains, Xizhou's shame is having you!"
