Red Crossing Chapter 14

The person Xuemei was waiting for finally arrived. He was a middle-aged man in his forties who introduced himself as surnamed Meng. Xuemei cupped her hands in greeting and invited him to sit down. The man returned the greeting and sat down before speaking, "My name is Meng Jinpi. I have long heard of the Silver Fox Heroine, a beautiful and heroic woman whose chivalrous name is known throughout Southern Guangdong. Meeting you today, I can see that her reputation is indeed well-deserved, haha." Xuemei had never heard of this man before. She replied calmly, "You flatter me, Master Meng. May I ask what I can do for you, Master Meng? Please speak frankly." This man surnamed Meng had learned about the Silver Fox Heroine through a close friend of Ye Maozi, and this meeting was at Ye Maozi's request. He said he had a very important deal to discuss with the Silver Fox Heroine. Xuemei had only heard Ye Maozi mention that this man surnamed Meng had connections with the government, but she didn't know who his real backer was. She had already instructed Brother Chai to investigate this man's background. Although Xuemei was very bold, she was also very meticulous and not a reckless person. Through their brief encounter, she discovered that Meng Jinpi was also a martial artist with considerable skill. Although he was thin, his eyes shone brightly, and his hands appeared powerful, his fingers like steel claws. Xuemei, sitting less than three feet away from him, felt a deep sense of fear. She herself was a wanted criminal; if this man was a constable of the court, and had come prepared, capturing her would be easy. Xuemei didn't know the extent of his martial arts prowess, but intuitively, she felt she was no match for him. Therefore, she braced herself, constantly on guard against a sudden attack. Meng Jinpi showed no sign of distress, sitting there and quietly explaining his deal to Xuemei. It turned out he was sent by the current governor, Lord Zhang. He said he hoped the Silver Fox Heroine would cooperate with the governor in gathering information about the rebels, and if necessary, would also need her to do things the governor couldn't do himself. Xuemei broke out in a cold sweat. Although she had only been in the martial arts world for less than three years, she knew the implications of such a deal. If she became a lackey of the imperial court, she might gain temporary power, but she would become a hated figure in the martial arts world, someone everyone wanted to eliminate. Her reputation as the Silver Fox Heroine would be completely ruined. People might then turn around and call her a wicked woman who oppresses the people on behalf of the corrupt Governor Zhang, a female demon who harms the heroes of the martial arts world, a prostitute who sells herself to the government, and so on. Although she wasn't very well-educated, she had some understanding of the general situation. The current imperial court was already in its twilight years, its fate sealed. However, she dared not refuse Meng Jinpi outright, otherwise she would immediately anger the governor. She was already one of the ten most wanted criminals by the imperial court. Although the constables of Yudong County couldn't do anything to her, if the governor really decided to deal with her, it would be an easy matter. She herself was not afraid, but she feared that her brothers would have nowhere to escape and would eventually be captured by the government troops and constables. Even in the underworld, one must know when to be yielding, or one won't last long. Xue Mei had long understood this crucial survival rule. She immediately decided to appease Meng Jinpi for now and get away with it. She would take things one step at a time, deciding based on the situation. She said to Meng Jinpi, "Thank you, Lord Meng. I am deeply grateful for your kindness in thinking of me, Silver Fox. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, I will certainly do my utmost to repay your kindness." She then rose to kowtow to Meng Jinpi. Meng Jinpi smiled slightly, took her arms, and said, "Silver Fox, there's no need for such formality." He took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket, about a thousand taels, and handed them to her, saying, "This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it." Knowing she couldn't refuse, Xue Mei accepted the silver notes. Then she rose to take her leave. Meng Jinpi watched Xue Mei's departing figure thoughtfully. Just now, when she tried to kowtow to him, he deliberately tested her strength as he stopped her. Sure enough, she was quite strong, and her martial arts skills were certainly not bad. He had originally thought her reputation was just empty boasting from the martial arts world, but seeing her calm and composed demeanor today, he knew she was no simple-minded woman. During their conversation, she hadn't mentioned the governor or the government, nor had she explicitly expressed any loyalty to the governor. It seemed she had other plans in mind, and truly winning her over would require more effort. "The more someone like that is, the more interesting it is to contend with her," Meng Jinpi thought with his eyes closed. He had been running around for the governor, offering advice and strategies, and the governor praised him as "Little Zhuge Liang." However, most of his work consisted of wicked and shameful deeds, and few in the martial arts world had heard of him. He had been with many women, yet he remained single. Xue Mei's appearance and temperament deeply moved him: she was a rare and wonderful woman. However, this woman was not only beautiful but also clever and quick-witted, exactly the type of woman the governor liked. She would likely ultimately be locked away in Lord Zhang's mansion for humiliation and training. Thinking of this, Meng Jinpi couldn't help but sigh deeply, thinking, "What a pity." After Xue Mei and her brothers "made their fortune," they opened a carriage inn in Yudong County, named "Fu Lai Tong." She had Brother Chai act as the innkeeper, while she remained behind the scenes, never showing her face. Fu Lai Tong was both their usual lodging and a source of useful information. Most of the people who frequented it were traveling drivers and江湖汉 (jianghu men,江湖汉 are a term referring to people of the martial arts world), who liked to drink and chat loudly when they had nothing to do, sharing interesting stories they had heard and seen. Brother Chai could glean a lot of useful information from them. After returning to Fu Lai Tong, Xue Mei went alone into a secret room. She sent a servant to fetch Brother Chai, gave him the thousand taels of silver, and instructed him to keep half as capital for the inn and distribute the other half among the brothers. She herself was never greedy, always thinking of her brothers when there were benefits, and generally sharing gold and silver treasures with everyone. This was one of the reasons why the brothers respected, loved, and obeyed her, and were willing to follow her through thick and thin. Chai Gui reported to Xue Mei that he had found out about Meng Jinpi's background: his father was originally a military officer in the border army, but was beheaded for violating military law. Meng Jinpi joined the Green Standard Army at the age of fifteen. Because of his good skills, quick wit, and literacy, he was highly regarded by Zhang, who was then only a Green Standard Army captain. Later, Zhang's career took off; he was promoted to captain, then garrison commander, then commander, and finally became the governor of Guangdong. He first promoted Meng Jinpi to the rank of battalion commander, then centurion, and finally governor, then placed him in the governor's office specifically to handle confidential matters. Meng Jinpi's official position was a sixth-rank battalion commander, still a military officer. However, his actual power was greater than that of a typical fifth-rank military officer. Lord Zhang's name was Zhang Yide. He was originally a Manchu, with the surname Nalan and the given name Yude. His father died when he was five, and his mother remarried a high-ranking official surnamed Zhang, so he changed his name to Zhang Yude. He loved reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from a young age, especially admiring Zhang Fei. Later, he changed his name to Zhang Yide, meaning Zhang Yide (or Zhang Yide, the winged deity). Zhang Yide had thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a full beard that resembled steel needles, indeed somewhat resembling the fierce Zhang Fei. He had learned the Shaolin Golden Bell Cover martial arts from childhood and was extremely skilled. He was both cunning and ruthless. In his early years, while serving in the Green Standard Army, he committed numerous atrocities, including killing innocent people to claim credit, robbing merchants, and harming innocent civilians, earning him the nickname "Zhang the Headcutter." Even after becoming a high-ranking official, he showed no mercy in persecuting his political enemies. As his position rose, many of his colleagues who had crossed him were dismissed, investigated, had their homes confiscated, and were even executed. Meng Jinpi was Zhang Yide's confidant; he orchestrated many of Zhang Yide's misdeeds, and some he even carried out himself. However, Meng Jinpi was very low-key, and his reputation in official circles and among the underworld was not prominent. Chai Gui learned this information from a woman who had previously worked as a maid in Zhang Yide's stepfather's household, for which he paid her one hundred taels of silver. Chai Gui warned Xuemei to be extremely careful when dealing with this man surnamed Meng, or she would suffer greatly. Xuemei replied, "I understand." Seeing that Xuemei seemed very tired, Chai Gui told her to rest early, then bowed and left. Section 2: The Ancient Painting The next day, Xuemei received a report from one of her scouts that a shady deal (selling stolen goods) was taking place that evening at the Xinghualou in Yudong County. Xinghualou was ostensibly a restaurant, but secretly it housed an opium den, a gambling den, and a brothel. The owner was surnamed Ma, known as Ma Huzi. Ma Huzi had connections with both the government and the underworld, and employed a gang of thugs, making him very influential in the county. It was said that the item in the deal was an ancient painting. Xuemei decided to go herself. Fulaitong's business was just a front; it couldn't support her many brothers. Therefore, she had to find ways to make money from time to time. She preferred this kind of double-crossing because it prevented her from directly confronting the innocent victims, making her feel better psychologically. Of course, this kind of thing is no joke; it's usually very dangerous, and could easily end in serious trouble. Considering that Ma Huzi knew many of her men, Xue Mei decided to go alone. Xue Mei usually disguised herself as a man when she went out, and when committing crimes, she would cover her head and face with a black cloth, leaving only her eyes visible. Therefore, very few people knew the true identity of the Silver Fox Heroine. Doing this kind of thing...She was skilled in martial arts, possessing quick reflexes and stealthy movements. Her martial arts prowess far surpassed that of any opponent she had ever encountered, and thus she had never suffered a defeat. Bringing others along might not only fail to help her but could also cause trouble. In the evening, Xue Mei changed into a blue cotton robe, disguising herself as a young gentleman seeking pleasure. Holding a folding fan, she slowly made her way to the Xinghua Tower. It was just getting dark. She ordered a pot of wine and a dish of snacks and leisurely sat down in the main hall. To avoid attracting attention, she asked the waiter to call a singer, which she listened to while drinking. About half an hour later, her customer arrived. He was a young scholar, appearing to be under twenty. He had fair skin and a rather quiet appearance. He carried a cloth bundle on his back and, upon entering, cautiously looked around as if wary of someone. Xuemei shook her head, sighing inwardly. This man was too naive; he was clearly extremely nervous. If any treasure fell into his hands, it would most likely be snatched away by someone with ill intentions. This young man looked somewhat like her dream lover, Brother Yulin, the son-in-law of the wealthy family she had met when she rescued Night Owl. Of course, he only resembled Brother Yulin in the facial features; he was far less handsome. Xuemei still couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. He seemed like an honest man, and she even felt embarrassed to lay a hand on him. Although she thought this way, she couldn't let her brothers go hungry. Leaving the rightful loot unclaimed would only benefit other bandits. Xuemei was intelligent, and with the assistance of Brother Chai and others, who explained things to her in detail whenever she didn't understand, her experience was comparable to that of a seasoned veteran. Otherwise, with only her looks and martial arts skills, it would have been difficult for her to make such a name for herself in the martial arts world. After a while, a middle-aged man, dressed as a merchant, entered. He glanced around and went directly to the table where the scholar had been sitting, sitting down beside him. Xue Mei was intently eavesdropping on their conversation. Although she was far away, and a woman was singing a tune beside her, her hearing was excellent; she didn't miss a single word of their conversation. "Young Master Yuan, we meet again. Did you bring the silver?" the middle-aged man asked the scholar after sitting down, while keeping an eye on the surroundings. His voice was unpleasant, somewhat like the quacking of a duck. The scholar surnamed Yuan nodded and said, "I brought it. But I need to see that thing first." The middle-aged man's eyes swept around, then he took something from the sleeve of his robe—a painting. Young Master Yuan's eyes immediately lit up, staring at the painting. He reached out to take it, but the other man stopped him. “Young Master Yuan, let’s exchange the silver for the painting. You can sit here and examine the painting, and I’ll count the silver on the spot. We can leave after we’ve both looked at it and counted it, how about that?” the man said. The young scholar surnamed Yuan thought for a moment and nodded. He picked up his cloth bundle, placed it on the table, pushed it towards the man opposite him, and then took out a stack of what looked like silver notes from his pocket and handed it over. The man also handed the painting to Young Master Yuan. Then one of them began to carefully examine the painting, while the other buried himself in counting the silver and silver notes. Xue Mei had a keen eye; she felt a sense of familiarity as soon as she saw the painting from afar. After thinking for a moment, she remembered: the painting used to belong to her family and had hung in the living room. She had seen it almost every day when she was a child. It was bought by her father, Wu Yuanji, more than ten years ago for five hundred taels of silver from a refugee from another place. It was said to be an authentic work by Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, and was considered priceless. Wu Yuanji had originally treasured the painting, rarely showing it to others. Later, he met Magistrate Pang, who was quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting. Wu invited Pang to his home to have him evaluate the painting. Magistrate Pang immediately spotted the problem, saying it wasn't an original, but a later imitation of Emperor Huizong's work. However, he added that the imitation was quite good, worth the hundred taels of silver. Wu Yuanji was filled with shame and saw Magistrate Pang off. He was glad he hadn't flaunted the painting as a genuine work, so it wasn't too embarrassing. From then on, he naturally stopped treasuring the painting, simply hanging it casually in his living room. Occasionally, when entertaining close friends and relatives, he would jokingly recount how he had been cheated when buying the painting, just to amuse them. The year before Xuemei ran away from home, Wu Yuanji was drinking with a friend who loved painting, and in a moment of joy, he gave the painting to that friend. Xuemei thought to herself that either her father's friend had resold the painting to someone else, or it had been stolen and was now being used to deceive those who didn't know its value. As she pondered this, the young scholar finished his appraisal; judging from his excited expression, he clearly hadn't found anything wrong with it. The middle-aged man, dressed as a merchant, also finished counting his money. The two of them got up and left the Xinghua Pavilion. Once outside, they went in different directions. Xuemei gave some copper coins to the singer to get rid of him and followed him out. She knew the painting was worthless, so she ignored the young scholar and followed the middle-aged man. She didn't know how much silver he had sold the painting for, but estimated it to be over two thousand taels—a considerable ill-gotten gain. The middle-aged man drove around the county town in several large circles, completely unaware of Xuemei following him. Finally, he stopped in front of an old house by a secluded alley. The house was lit up. He looked around, clearly afraid someone was following him. Xue Mei had been following him, carefully observing the surroundings. This kind of secluded place was perfect for her to strike. Seeing the middle-aged man's furtive manner, Xue Mei breathed a sigh of relief: this guy didn't look like a respectable businessman. This way, she wouldn't have to feel any guilt about double-crossing him. The man knocked on the door for a while, then it opened, and a woman welcomed him inside. Xue Mei quietly crept to the window, holding her breath to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two inside. "You got the silver back?" the woman asked. "Two thousand three hundred taels, not a penny less. Here are your three hundred taels. How about that? I, the Earth-Drilling Tiger, keep my word, don't I?" the middle-aged man with the hoarse voice replied. Then, the two seemed to embrace, and the sound of kissing came from inside the window. Xue Mei, listening outside, couldn't help but purse her lips. "Digger" is a type of insect that lives in the soil. For this middle-aged man to have such a despicable nickname shows he's a petty thief with no ambition. "Where's the painting?" the woman asked, panting. The middle-aged man chuckled and replied, "It's still with that bookworm. Don't worry, I followed him last time; he's staying at 'Welcoming Guests.' Grizzly Bear and Black Fox are already waiting outside that inn. They'll make their move at midnight and make sure the painting is returned intact." "That's good. I finally managed to steal this painting from Master Wang's house; that old guy took advantage of me quite a bit because of it," the woman said, deliberately using a coquettish voice. "I'm sorry to have troubled you, my darling. I'll just wait until I find the next fool and use the same trick again to make some money!" the man said, embracing and kissing the woman. Xuemei finally understood: this woman seduced a court advisor, stole the painting from his house, and gave it to Zuan Di Hu. Zuan Di Hu sold it to the young scholar for 2,300 taels of silver. Then he sent two accomplices to steal the painting back from the inn, intending to use it to deceive others later. What a clever scheme! "Grey Bear and Black Fox are reckless; do you think they'll kill someone this time?" the woman asked worriedly. "Probably not, unless that idiot would rather die than hand over the painting. Don't worry, even if they get into trouble and are caught by the authorities, they'll never implicate us. I promised them each a hundred taels of silver after it's done. If they implicate me, who will they ask for the silver from? Come on, hurry up and take off your clothes, I can't wait." "Oh, don't be so impatient..." "You've been with that clerk Wang these past few days, I'm so bored, how can I not be impatient?" The sound of tearing clothes and a middle-aged man's heavy breathing came from inside. Xuemei usually felt guilty and remorseful after committing crimes. However, the pressure on her shoulders was too great, forcing her to harden her heart. Now that she knew these two were no good people, she felt no guilt or unease. She pulled out a foot-long dagger hidden on her person, kicked open the door, and stormed in. The sight before her made her eyes widen in disbelief: a man and a woman, completely naked, were having sex on the bed. The man was ugly, but his penis was thick and large, thrusting repeatedly into the woman's vagina. The woman was not young; she was plump, and her white flesh gleamed under the light. When the woman saw a masked man in black carrying a knife burst in from outside, she screamed in terror. Xue Mei grabbed the woman...He dragged her from the bed and threw her to the ground, then struck her on the back of the head with the back of his knife, knocking her unconscious. The man, who had been stunned, had now recovered. Seeing Xue Mei approaching him with a knife, he hurriedly waved his hand and called out, "Wait!" He pointed to a chair by the table and said to her, "Brother, please sit down, let's talk this out." Xue Mei didn't say anything, standing there with the knife in hand, staring at him. He was only wearing a gray cloth jacket on his upper body, his lower body was naked, and his ugly, large penis was still hard and erect. Xue Mei blushed and her heart pounded, thankfully her face was covered with a black cloth. The silver hadn't been collected yet and was scattered haphazardly on the table. There were less than three hundred taels of real silver ingots; the rest were all silver notes. Xue Mei picked up a piece of clothing from the ground and placed it on the table, pointing the knife at the man, indicating that he should wrap up the silver and silver notes. He had no choice but to obediently do as she said. Xuemei picked up the bundle and turned to leave when the man suddenly lunged at her from behind, trying to grab her waist. Xuemei was prepared and dodged his embrace. However, her hand holding the knife bumped against the door, and the knife fell to the ground. The man was overjoyed and rushed to grab the knife, but Xuemei kicked him in the stomach. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground. In desperation, he grabbed Xuemei's foot with both hands, holding on tightly. Xuemei stepped back, managing to pull her foot back, but he pulled off her shoe and sock, which he held tightly in his hand. One of Xuemei's jade-like feet was exposed to the man's eyes, crystal clear and incredibly alluring. Such a beautiful foot could never belong to a man. The man, nicknamed "Drilling Tiger," stared in astonishment at her bare foot. Xuemei was both ashamed and angry. She kicked him in the face, knocking him to the ground. She pounced on him, straddling his back and grabbing his neck with both hands. The man, choked and struggling, rolled and writhed on the ground. He tried to pry her hands off his back. Xue Mei clamped her strong legs around his waist and gripped his neck tightly with her hands like iron clamps. She only released him when his body went limp. The woman was still unconscious. Xue Mei checked the man's chest and found he still had a heartbeat. She picked up the clothes on the ground, tore them into strips, and tied the naked man and woman together back to back. Then she stuffed the cloth bundle containing silver notes and ingots into her bosom, put on her shoes and socks, picked up her knife, and went out, disappearing into the night. Chapter 3: The Frail Scholar Xue Mei returned to the secret room in Fu Lai Tong's house. Brother Chai and the others were still awake, waiting for her. Now she had become their pillar of support. Usually, the men were at odds with each other, and there were often minor conflicts. But their unwavering loyalty to her deeply moved her. She took out all the silver and banknotes and handed them to Brother Chai for distribution. Night Owl brought over the prepared liquor and food, and the group began to eat. Xue Mei not only had liquor, but she also had a large plate of steaming braised pork in front of her. She didn't stand on ceremony, picking up the meat with her chopsticks and eating heartily. They all knew that the leader loved braised pork and always tried their best to prepare it for her. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Brother Chai left with the men, reminding her to rest early before leaving. Xue Mei felt that Brother Chai had become a bit fussy these days, but she still enjoyed his care and concern. Xue Mei lay down on the bed, but the image of that adulterous couple embracing and writhing kept flashing through her mind, making it impossible for her to fall asleep. She smelled herself and thought she still smelled that man's sweat. She got up, went outside, and brought a basin of cool water. She took off her clothes and began to wash her body with the cool water under the lamp. As she washed, she felt her throat dry, her breasts swell, and her groin itch. Involuntarily, she rubbed her nipples with one hand and gently rubbed her clitoris with the other, moaning softly. She was thinking of her young and handsome brother, Yu Lin, but what appeared before her was that ugly, lewd middle-aged man called "Drilling Tiger," and his huge penis. He was on top of her, thrusting his hard penis between her legs. Xue Mei couldn't help but scream, her whole body trembling, her groin overflowing with lustful fluids, soaking wet. It was almost midnight, and the drivers and merchants who had come to the inn to spend the night were already fast asleep. The courtyard was quiet and deserted. After satisfying herself, Xue Mei changed her clothes, took a knife, and went alone to the courtyard to practice her swordsmanship under the moonlight. Her favorite weapon was a wrought iron rod, but it was too heavy; a single blow would break bones, so it was generally useless. This knife was a gift from Haozi, passed down from his father. Xuemei had saved Haozi's life last time, and he insisted she accept the knife for self-defense. Xuemei had never received direct instruction from a master; her skills were all learned by Yunniang from their master and then passed on to her. If she encountered a problem, she rarely found anyone to help her. Therefore, she had to carefully study, meticulously refine, and repeatedly practice every move she learned until she mastered it. This fostered in her a habit of not being bound by rigid forms and being good at applying knowledge to new situations. She was exceptionally intelligent, and over the years she even created some martial arts techniques that could be considered masterpieces. After running away from home, she mingled with a group of thieves, gaining many opportunities for real combat. She constantly improved her previously learned martial arts, discarding useless fancy moves and incorporating practical techniques, forming her own unique style. Although she vowed not to learn her father's family martial arts, she had watched her younger brother practice every day since childhood, and through this constant exposure, she had absorbed quite a bit. Unconsciously, her self-created martial arts also showed traces of the Wu family's style. Xuemei practiced her sword with great enthusiasm, feeling not tired at all, but rather even more energetic. She simply tucked the sword behind her back, left the courtyard, and began running through the deserted streets. She sometimes vaulted over courtyard walls, sometimes climbed onto rooftops, traversing seven or eight streets in this manner before stopping. After running and jumping for a while, Xuemei was slightly sweaty. She sat down to rest by a large tree by the roadside, feeling quite comfortable. Xuemei suddenly remembered the young scholar who had spent over two thousand taels of silver to buy the fake painting. He was fairly good-looking, but had a bookish air about him. Right, those two villains named Grizzly Bear and Black Fox would be trying to steal the fake painting he had just bought tonight. Would he be in danger? She couldn't help but worry about him. The inn called "Welcome Guests" was less than two miles away, and Xue Mei decided to go check it out. She had committed many acts of extortion and robbery over the years, so it was absurd for her to feel guilty towards the young scholar because of tonight's events. However, she didn't seem to realize this. She quickly found the inn with the "Welcome Guests" sign. The inn was small, with only seven or eight rooms across two floors. Xue Mei went to a room downstairs where a light was on, and peered through the window. She saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old waiter tightly bound to a table leg, his mouth gagged with a rag. He was unconscious, with a large bump on his head, clearly from being hit with something. Besides the table and chairs, there was only a wooden cabinet in the room. The cabinet door was open, and the contents were in disarray, with account books scattered all over the floor. Xue Mei took out a black cloth she carried with her, covered her face, and pushed open the door to enter the room. She first shook the waiter awake, then ripped off the rag that was gagging him. The poor fellow had just been captured by two robbers and had been hit hard on the head with a stool. When he woke up to find his hands and feet bound, he was about to scream when he suddenly saw a masked man in black holding a gleaming knife. He immediately shut his mouth, afraid to utter a sound. The man in black pointed the knife at his chest and asked softly, "How many guests are staying here tonight?" He was immediately confused: "Didn't those two robbers ask? Could this man in black not be with them?" Nevertheless, he honestly answered, "Only a scholar is staying in the room upstairs on the east side; there are no other guests." Xue Mei gagged him again with the rag and said, "Lie here and play dead; it'll keep you safe." She then blew out the lamp and quietly went upstairs. Upstairs was pitch black, but the door to the room on the east side wasn't fully closed, and a sliver of light shone through the crack. Xuemei tiptoed to the door and heard voices inside, along with the sounds of rummaging through drawers. "Grizzly Bear, where do you think that bookworm hid that painting?" "How should I know? You practically beat him senseless, but he still wouldn't tell. Could it be that he doesn't even have it, and Drill Tiger got it wrong?" "No way! If Drill Tiger dares to play me, I'll cut off his manhood and feed it to the dogs when we get back! Why don't you wake the scholar up and ask him again?" Through the crack in the door, Xuemei saw two people inside. The tall, burly one was probably Grizzly Bear, and the other could only be Black Fox. On the floor lay an unconscious young man, none other than the young master Yuan she had seen at the Apricot Blossom Pavilion that evening who had bought the painting.The grizzly bear approached and kicked the young master Yuan, who lay on the ground, hard in the waist. Yuan let out a painful groan. He had actually been awake for a while, but had been too afraid to utter a sound. The grizzly bear grabbed him and threw him into the middle of the room, as if he were a chick. With a flick of his wrist, a gleaming dagger appeared in his hand. He stabbed the dagger near Yuan's eyelids and said fiercely, "Useless bastard, I don't have that much patience, nor do I have time to waste with you! I'll ask you one more time, or I'll gouge out your eyes: Where did you hide that painting?" The young scholar surnamed Yuan closed his eyes tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably. But he remained silent. Xuemei couldn't help but sigh inwardly: It seems he really would rather die than part with his money! He had bought that painting for two thousand three hundred taels of silver; perhaps he had pawned his entire fortune to scrape together that amount. Alas. Xuemei's guess was spot on. This man surnamed Yuan was a scholar named Yuan Zhiwen, who worked as a schoolteacher in the countryside near the county town. He came from a distinguished family; his great-grandfather had been an official in the capital, but his family had gradually declined after his grandfather's death. He had recently married the daughter of an old friend of his father's. Influenced by his father since childhood, he loved collecting antiques and paintings. To raise the money to buy the painting, he borrowed from all sides and even pawned some of his new wife's dowry. If he knew the painting was fake, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood and die on the spot. Seeing that he still wouldn't speak, Gray Bear slapped him hard across the face, then grabbed his collar and ripped his clothes open, revealing his fair skin. Grizzly turned to his companion and shouted, "Blackie, come look! This kid's got all that white flesh, even more tender than a prostitute in a brothel! I'm starting to suspect he's actually a woman!" Blackie came over excitedly, grinning, "Why don't you take his pants off and see if he's a woman?" Grizzly was about to attack when Yuan Zhiwen quickly covered his crotch with his hand. Grizzly grabbed his hair and slapped him hard across the face twice more. He was dizzy from the beatings when he suddenly felt a chill in his lower body; his pants and shorts had been pulled down below his knees by Grizzly. "Hahahaha..." Blackie laughed, pointing at Yuan Zhiwen's crotch. Just then, a scream of agony came from beside him. A thud followed, and Grizzly fell face-down to the ground, a knife protruding from his back, the tip sticking out of his chest. At that moment, a person with a black cloth covering their head and face walked over, stepped on Grizzly's back, and pulled the knife out. A spurt of hot blood gushed from the grizzly bear's body. Yuan Zhiwen screamed in terror and scrambled under the table. The grizzly bear twitched a few times on the ground and then lay still. Xue Mei was also quite helpless; she hadn't wanted to kill anyone. However, the grizzly bear was extremely burly, and the black fox looked like a fierce and agile creature. The room wasn't large enough to easily maneuver. If they fought, she alone against two ruthless bandits probably wouldn't gain much of an advantage. Therefore, she decisively launched a sneak attack, killing the grizzly bear, which posed the greatest threat to her. Seeing that the man in black had killed the grizzly bear without a word, the black fox immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowing and crying, "Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!" He had seen many bloody scenes and wouldn't be easily intimidated. He wanted to feign weakness to confuse his opponent, then strike suddenly when he was off guard and kill him. Xue Mei, with her rich experience, certainly wouldn't let her guard down at such a moment. She caught a glimpse of the black-clad man's hand stealthily reaching behind him, clearly to draw his sword or some other weapon. She kicked him, sending him tumbling, then pounced and stabbed him in the stomach. Seeing the man in black kill two vicious bandits in an instant, Yuan Zhiwen trembled with fear, not daring to answer Xue Mei's questions. Xue Mei thought he was probably afraid because of her veil, so she removed the black cloth covering her head and face, revealing a beautiful face. Yuan Zhiwen then realized the man in black was a young and beautiful woman. He discovered he was naked from the waist down and hurriedly, blushing, pulled up his trousers, which had fallen to his ankles, and fastened them. Then, kneeling and kowtowing to her, he said, "My name is Yuan Zhiwen. I am deeply grateful for your help, heroine." Xue Mei had already seen his entire body. He had delicate, fair skin and did indeed resemble a woman. What's even more ridiculous is that his penis was also white and tender, almost hairless, and of course, its size couldn't compare to that of the giant burrowing tiger. No wonder Black Fox and Grizzly Bear laughed so hard when they saw it. She saved him purely on a whim, not expecting any repayment, and of course, she couldn't leave her name behind. Her attire also made it inappropriate for her to linger, so she gave him a fist salute and said, "Young master, take care, farewell." Then she turned and walked towards the door. "Wait...please wait a moment, lady!" he called after her. Xue Mei stopped, turned around, and looked into his eyes. He struggled to his feet, walked to a corner, rummaged around for a while, and pulled out something wrapped in cloth. Then he knelt before Xue Mei, held the object above his head, and said, "I am currently penniless. This is an ancient painting I just acquired, quite valuable. Please accept it, my benefactor." Fearing this "priceless treasure" would be stolen, he had stuffed it into a crack in the wall as soon as he returned to his room, which is why the grizzly bear and the black fox couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Xue Mei looked at his sincere expression and thought with great admiration, "This man has a good heart. He was tortured to the point of near death by the grizzly bear and the black fox, yet he gritted his teeth and refused to hand over the painting. Now, to repay my kindness, he's offering it to me. He spent over two thousand taels of silver to buy it!" She knew the painting was worth at most a hundred or two taels of silver, but if she revealed the truth, she feared it would hurt the young scholar's feelings, and he might regret it and try to commit suicide. She handed over the 2,300 taels of silver she had stolen to Brother Chai. Aside from keeping a portion for the inn, the rest would be distributed among her brothers. Therefore, Xuemei couldn't return the silver to this young master surnamed Yuan. Besides, the silver wasn't directly stolen from him; there was no reason to return it. There's a taboo among bandits: once something is obtained, it should never be returned. Otherwise, it's considered bad luck, and disaster will surely follow. She said to Yuan Zhiwen, "Young Master Yuan, I won't accept your painting. It's a small matter; you don't need to worry about it. I advise you to leave here as soon as possible, or you'll be in trouble." There were two bloodied corpses lying in this room; if they didn't leave quickly and the authorities were alerted, he would likely have no way to explain himself. She couldn't bear to tell him the painting was fake. But he would eventually discover it was a forgery, and then he would surely be filled with remorse and despair. Thinking of all this made her heart ache, but there was nothing she could do. Unconsciously, she had developed a feeling of closeness to him. Section 4: The first time, the two of them left the small inn called "Welcoming Guests" together before dawn. Once on the street, they hadn't walked far when Yuan Zhiwen suddenly collapsed to the ground. He hadn't felt the beating from the grizzly bear and the black fox at the time. Now, after the shock, his whole body ached, and he couldn't walk. Xue Mei was about to break up with him when she saw his pitiful state. She sighed and thought, "Fine, since I'm going to help him, I'll help him to the end. I'll take him to a secluded place to rest for a day." She squatted down, carried Yuan Zhiwen on her back, made him hold tightly to her neck and shoulders, and then ran off. Yuan Zhiwen felt like he was floating on clouds, like he was dreaming. He smelled the scent of a woman's sweat, and his pain miraculously disappeared. His chest and abdomen pressed against Xue Mei's back, rubbing against her spine as she ran, giving him an extremely ecstatic dizziness. After a while, his lower abdomen began to heat up, and his limp penis stubbornly became erect. He was well-read and knew he shouldn't have impure thoughts about his savior, but he couldn't control his erection. Xue Mei also noticed Yuan's unusual behavior; after all, it was hard to ignore having something pressing against her lower back. She had to support Yuan Zhiwen's thighs and buttocks with her hands while running, a strenuous position, but fortunately, she was naturally strong and managed to run several miles in one go. The heavy load on her back naturally swayed up and down while running, and several times she felt his penis rubbing against her buttocks. She was stimulated until her whole body went weak, her face turned red, and sweat beaded on her forehead and neck. Fortunately, they had arrived at their destination, and she quickly put Yuan Zhiwen down. Dawn was breaking. This was a mountain peak covered in weeds and shrubs, located north of the county town. Xue Mei half-carried, half-lifted him to a dense thicket halfway up the mountain. She moved a large rock, revealing a dark, gaping hole. She ducked and crawled inside first. Yuan Zhiwen's eyes widened in surprise: this large rock weighed at least two hundred pounds, yet Xue Mei seemed to lift it and move it without much effort.She'd gone to the side; her strength was truly astounding. She'd carried him so far just now, and because she seemed so relaxed, he hadn't thought much of it. Now, thinking back, carrying a man weighing over a hundred pounds, even empty-handed, running that far in one go wouldn't be easy. He suddenly remembered hearing about a female thief wanted by the authorities, described as a ruthless killer. But ordinary people considered her a Robin Hood-like heroine, calling her "Silver Fox Heroine." Could this benefactor before him be the Silver Fox Heroine? Lost in thought, he watched as Xue Mei retrieved a torch from the cave, lit it, and pulled him inside. Once inside, she handed the torch to Yuan Zhiwen, then turned back and moved the large rock back to its original place, blocking the entrance. This cave was specially prepared by Xue Mei for herself, a place to hide in case she was pursued by the authorities or powerful enemies. She not only stored a considerable amount of dry rations here, but also collected some gold, silver, jewelry, and other valuables she had accumulated over the past two years. This place originally belonged to a lone bandit named Zhang Long. Zhang Long was also a notorious womanizer, quite infamous in the martial arts world. He always disguised himself when he went out, never showing his true face. Xue Mei accidentally discovered his whereabouts and followed him to this place. After a fierce fight, she killed Zhang Long. Thus, this secluded spot became her secret, unknown even to Brother Chai and Monkey. Xue Mei and Yuan Zhiwen continued to walk crouching into the cave, which became increasingly spacious until they finally arrived at a huge stone chamber. There was a wooden plank bed covered with thick straw, some simple wooden tables, chairs, chests, cabinets, and even pots and pans. In one corner, there were also weapons such as broadswords, spears, and bows and arrows, but most of them were rusted beyond repair. A large crack in the ceiling of the stone chamber allowed light to filter in, and several crevices in the ground formed natural drainage channels, so it wasn't damp at all. The chamber had another exit, from which came the sound of running water, indicating a mountain spring outside. Xuemei checked Yuan Zhiwen's injuries; they weren't serious: a large bump on the back of his head, bruises on his shoulders and back, and probably similar bruises on his buttocks and thighs. Yuan Zhiwen was embarrassed to show her his pants, so she didn't force him. His injuries should heal after a few days of rest. Xuemei found some dried sweet potatoes and smoked meat, which she shared with Yuan Zhiwen with some cold water. It was already dawn, and she said to Yuan Zhiwen, "We've been up all night and are exhausted. Let's rest first, and we can talk about it after a good night's sleep." With that, she lay down on the bed. She knew that scholars like Yuan Zhiwen had many rules of etiquette, and that many things that seemed very simple to her required hesitation. If she didn't lie down first, he probably wouldn't sleep at all. Besides, she was indeed very tired. Yuan Zhiwen noticed that she only occupied half of the bed, the other half was clearly reserved for him. He wanted to talk to her some more, at least to find out the name of his benefactor, but Xue Mei was already fast asleep. After being a bandit for several years, she had developed a remarkable skill: she could fall asleep anywhere when she was tired. Yuan Zhiwen had no choice but to squeeze in next to her and sleep as well. After falling asleep, he had a nightmare. He dreamt that when he was thirteen, he left home alone to take the imperial examination. When he crossed a mountain, he encountered several bandits who were murderers and arsonists. The bandits chased him with knives, spears, and clubs. He ran back for his life, throwing away all his luggage and provisions. He ran and cried, and then tripped over a rock and fell, tumbling down the hillside. He was bruised and battered, but after getting up, he ignored the pain and ran home. Finally, he ran home and threw himself into his mother's arms. Only after burying his head between his mother's soft, warm breasts did he regain a sense of security. When Yuan Zhiwen woke up, it was already afternoon. Sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the rocks above, warming him. Xuemei had already gotten up and gone out; he was alone in the stone chamber. He got up and stretched. Although his injuries still ached, they were much better than the night before. He looked around and saw the exit from which the sound of flowing water came. He followed the exit down, the rushing water growing clearer with each step until he finally saw a spring. After a few more steps, he saw the cave entrance. He peeked out and was startled: outside the cave was a sheer cliff, where the spring formed a natural waterfall. The cliff was about five or six zhang high; a fall would surely be fatal. Mist filled the air outside the cave, and a rainbow appeared in the sunlight—a beautiful sight. He looked around but couldn't find his benefactor, the female knight-errant who had shared a bed with him the night before. Where had she gone? Yuan Zhiwen began to walk back the way he came. This time, he noticed that the spring water flowed from a cave about half a person's height on the left. He crawled into the cave and took a few steps, arriving at another stone chamber filled with water. He could hardly believe his eyes: the beautiful female knight-errant was completely naked, bathing in knee-deep water! Xue Mei was tall, half a head taller than Yuan Zhiwen. She had regular features and a well-developed body, with very alluring breasts and buttocks. Her limbs were both strong and well-proportioned, as if sculpted from jade. Yuan Zhiwen stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded. Xue Mei sensed some movement and looked up in his direction. Yuan Zhiwen knew that staring at his naked savior like this was extremely rude, and his face flushed red all the way to the base of his neck. He quickly turned around, wanting to leave the stone chamber. In her haste, she slipped and fell into the water. The water in the stone chamber was very deep; only where Xue Mei was standing was there a protruding rock underwater. She was bathing on the rock, so the water seemed only knee-deep. Yuan Zhiwen, unaware of the depth and unable to swim, panicked after falling in and struggled desperately, only sinking further and further into the center of the pool. Xue Mei, being completely naked, had felt embarrassed when she first saw Yuan. Now, seeing him struggling in the middle of the pool, she had no choice but to swim over to save him. Although she could swim, she wasn't a very strong one. As soon as she approached the young man surnamed Yuan, he grabbed her tightly. She had never experienced anything like this before and was understandably nervous, being pulled down with him. By this time, Yuan Zhiwen had already swallowed several mouthfuls of water and was no longer quite conscious. Driven by his survival instinct, he wrapped his arms around Xue Mei's waist, pressing his face tightly against her smooth breasts. Xuemei was both ashamed and anxious, and she also swallowed a few mouthfuls of water. Coughing incessantly, she forcefully pried Yuan Zhiwen's hands off her chest, temporarily pushing him away. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhiwen thrashed about a few times, then grabbed one of her thighs, this time hanging on her leg like a weight, impossible to shake off. The two of them struggled in the water for several minutes, like a life-or-death battle. Yuan Zhiwen choked on more water, his eyes rolling back, and he passed out. Only then did Xuemei have a chance to support him and swim to the shore, dragging him ashore like a dead dog. After getting Yuan Zhiwen out of the water, Xuemei lay there panting for a long time. She was both amused and exasperated by this foolish scholar; if he hadn't been unconscious from choking on water, she would have given him a good beating. After resting for a while, she carried him back to the stone chamber where they slept, placed him on the bed, and then began to strip him naked. Out of revenge, she reached out and pinched his bare buttocks hard. Yuan Zhiwen was still asleep and didn't feel a thing. Xuemei had already washed her own clothes while bathing, and she hung both of their clothes on the rocks near the cave entrance before returning to the stone chamber. Feeling a bit cold, she took out a wine jar from a cabinet; it still contained half a jar of liquor. She hugged the jar and took a big gulp, feeling much better. Last night (this morning), she had a dream after falling asleep, dreaming that her handsome and dashing brother Yulin came to find her. As soon as he saw her, he ran over and hugged her, kissing her lips and neck passionately. She blushed and felt weak all over, unable to resist. Later, somehow, she unbuttoned her clothes herself, took his hand, and rubbed it on her breasts, humming happily. When she woke up, she found Yuan Zhiwen's arms around her waist, his head buried in her chest, his drool soaking her clothes. He wasn't fully awake yet; perhaps he was dreaming too? She was a little angry with him, so she pushed him away, got up, and went to take a bath. Unexpectedly, this idiot later fell into the water, requiring her to go through so much trouble to pull him out. Thinking about it now, it was truly absurd and laughable. Because her clothes weren't dry yet, Xuemei could only sit there naked waiting. Lost in thought, she drank the jar of liquor, unknowingly drinking too much; her face and neck were flushed, and her mind wasn't very clear. Seeing Yuan Zhiwen still lying naked on the bed, unconscious, she touched his face with her hand. Through her drunken haze…She felt he resembled her beloved Yu Lin even more. She couldn't help but climb onto the bed and press her face against his chest. She began to stroke his face, then his neck and shoulders, finally gently grasping his tender penis. Having spent her life among bandits, she had seen many men's penises of various sizes and shapes. She was no stranger to matters between men and women, having witnessed her rough and unrestrained henchmen engaging in sexual acts with prostitutes several times. She imitated the prostitutes, using her hand to manipulate Yuan Zhiwen's white, tender penis, quickly making it erect and noticeably thicker. At this moment, Yuan Zhiwen opened his eyes. Actually, he had been awake for some time, but due to guilt and being naked, he had remained lying there with his eyes closed, afraid to make a sound. However, Xue Mei's allure and stimulation were too great for him. Although he was only eighteen, he was already married and had tasted the pleasures of women. He could no longer restrain himself and opened his arms to tightly embrace Xue Mei's body. Xue Mei offered him a sweet kiss, calling him "Brother Yu Lin" with her eyes half-closed as she kissed him. He knew in his heart that he was not her "Brother Yu Lin," but at this crucial moment, he couldn't care less. He climbed on top of Xue Mei and kissed her body wildly, kissing her from head to toe. She was aroused by the kisses and moaned wantonly, like a wanton woman in heat. Yuan Zhiwen's penis was as hard as an iron rod, and the glans was swollen and purple. He kneaded Xue Mei's two big breasts hard with his hands while spreading her firm thighs and thrusting into her wet hole. "Ouch! It hurts so much, Brother Yu Lin!" Xue Mei's miserable cry echoed in the stone chamber. But Yuan Zhiwen couldn't stop. He kept lifting his buttocks and thrusting down hard, his lower abdomen violently slamming against Xue Mei's vulva and buttocks. Tears streamed down Xue Mei's face as she cried out in agony and intense excitement. Yuan Zhiwen, fueled by her cries, grew more vigorous and soon reached his climax, ejaculating a thick stream of semen into Xue Mei's body. The entire cave fell silent, save for the two intertwined bodies undulating slightly, their sweat soaking the straw bedding. Xue Mei, already quite drunk from nearly finishing the half-jar of liquor, drifted off to sleep afterward. Yuan Zhiwen, now dazed, was somewhat dumbfounded. Orphaned at a young age and raised under his father's strict discipline, he had always been humble, respectful, and cautious, never daring to cross any boundaries. Even on the eve of their wedding night, he knew nothing of matters between men and women. Fortunately, he had a married cousin who treated him exceptionally well. Somewhat worried about him, she privately questioned him, only to discover that he was utterly clueless about how to "do it" with a woman. His cousin, a forthright woman, decided to go all out and personally demonstrated how to undress him, pulling him onto her bed and meticulously instructing him, thus preventing him from embarrassing himself on their wedding night. His wife was both beautiful and virtuous, and they maintained a respectful and harmonious relationship after marriage. He had never been to a brothel and ignored women who approached him. In his mind, a woman should be faithful to one man, otherwise she was an unfaithful and wicked woman. Of course, his kind cousin was an exception. He was very fond of the woman before him, whose name he didn't yet know; she brought him unprecedented pleasure, and he wouldn't mind taking her as a concubine. However, he knew he wouldn't get past his father. Even if she was the famous Silver Fox Heroine, she was still a thief, and could never marry into a respectable family like his. Although Xue Mei called him "Brother Yu Lin" during their time together, the bloodstains on the bed proved it was her first time. Yuan Zhiwen felt he had ruined such a good woman, and his heart was heavy. She was not only a beautiful woman, but also the one who had saved his life twice. He had defiled her; could she ever marry someone else? What was he going to do? He noticed an iron plaque and a small cloth bag around Xue Mei's neck. The plaque was ordinary, a dull gray, and the words engraved on it were barely legible. The cloth bag, however, seemed to contain something. His curiosity piqued, he first reached out and shook Xue Mei's body; she didn't move. He carefully reached into the small cloth bag and took out a gold ring. He examined it closely and saw the two small characters "Meng Gu" engraved on it. Could this be her childhood name? Just now she had called him "Yu Lin Gege" (Brother Yu Lin), so that must be the name of her sweetheart. Yuan Zhiwen understood that she had probably mistaken him for her Yu Lin Gege, which was why she slept with him. A pang of jealousy rose in his heart. But then he thought: Damn it. He felt he had taken her virginity for no reason, which was already a huge advantage; he should be content! He put the gold ring back for her. After a while, Xuemei woke up. Yuan Zhiwen hurriedly grabbed her hand and begged for her forgiveness, saying he couldn't resist his lust and evil thoughts and had ruined her virginity. Xuemei was still dizzy from drinking too much, and it took her a while to understand what he said. Seeing that Yuan Zhiwen was already dressed while she was still naked, she pushed him away and ran towards the clothesline outside the cave. Yuan Zhiwen mistakenly thought she was going to commit suicide, and hurriedly chased after her, grabbing her leg and saying that he was deeply sinful and sorry to his savior; if he had to die, he would die with her. He cried uncontrollably, getting his tears and snot all over Xuemei's thighs and buttocks. Xuemei was both ashamed and anxious. Seeing that he was still clinging to her, she had no choice but to push him away forcefully, causing him to fall over. Yuan Zhiwen was knocked dizzy and disoriented. When he saw Xue Mei return dressed, he realized she hadn't intended to kill herself. He stood there awkwardly, unsure what to say. Xue Mei ignored him, and alone in the stone chamber, she lit a fire with dry wood, then took out several dried glutinous rice cakes (called ciba in the south) and roasted them over the fire. Soon they were done, filling the entire stone chamber with a fragrant aroma. She picked up a glutinous rice cake and ate it herself. Yuan Zhiwen's stomach was already growling loudly. However, he was naturally shy, and coupled with his guilt, how could he possibly ask her for food again? But his stomach wouldn't cooperate, rumbling incessantly. Xue Mei heard it and looked up at him. Her face was both gentle and beautiful, yet possessed a bold and righteous spirit like a young female knight-errant; her eyes were clear and bright. Yuan Zhiwen couldn't help but lower his head, feeling utterly ashamed. Actually, Xue Mei had been trying hard to recall what had happened between her and this man. Although she was drunk, she clearly remembered that she was the one who first teased the man, using her gloved hand to stroke his penis. She never imagined she would become so flirtatious and wanton, so easily giving her virginity to a man she barely knew. This man seemed kind-hearted, at least not the ungrateful type. But she didn't think he was the ideal man she was looking for; at least she couldn't stand his bookish personality. She preferred confident men, men who dared to love and hate. Besides, he seemed like a well-educated scholar; such families usually arranged marriages for their children early. Xue Mei was certain in her heart that she would never want to become a concubine or mistress to such a man. "Young Master Yuan, come and have something to eat," Xue Mei said softly. Yuan Zhiwen was extremely embarrassed, but unable to resist his rumbling stomach, he could only blush as he took the roasted glutinous rice cake from her hand and began to eat it heartily, disregarding his image. Xuemei sat beside him and chatted for a few moments. She learned that he was eighteen years old, two and a half years younger than her, and that his parents had just arranged a marriage for him. He was quite talented and studied diligently, passing the imperial examination at the age of fourteen, making him a local prodigy. As they chatted, Yuan Zhiwen relaxed and even shared interesting stories he had read in books. He didn't dare inquire about her background; he thought that such a young and beautiful woman becoming a notorious bandit must involve some unspeakable secrets. He preferred to believe that she was from a family of loyal officials, forced into banditry, like the characters in legendary novels. Xuemei had no interest in telling him about her experiences, not even revealing her real name. However, he did learn that this gentle, charming, and spirited woman was the legendary Silver Fox Heroine. It was unbelievable that he, a useless bookworm, could share a bed with such an extraordinary woman and form such a bizarre bond. Then both fell silent, for it was time to part. Yuan Zhiwen was reluctant, but knowing his place, he stood there obediently, waiting for the Silver Fox Heroine to speak. Xue Mei looked at him for a moment, sighed, and said, "Young Master's injuries are not serious; he will recover after resting at home for a few days. Let's go, I'll take you home." The two then got up and left the cave. They didn't speak much on the way. Xue Mei instructed him not to reveal the secret of this stone chamber, not even to his closest confidants. Yuan Zhiwen immediately swore an oath that he would never divulge the secret. He had originally wanted to...They swore an oath of brotherhood, but the thought of how he had just unhesitatingly taken her virginity and brutally violated her made him too ashamed to bring it up.
