C34 Walking the Pugilistic World Lady of the Heroes 10th

If the original owner had been here, they might have felt sorry for him and agreed. But unfortunately for him, she wasn't the original owner and had no intention of going soft.

"Uncle Yao, long time no see!"

What do you call this? Luck just fell into her lap.

Seeing Yiyue's smiling eyes, Yao Dayong suddenly had a bad feeling. The next moment, a sweet scent wafted through the air. Having dealt with the Poison Doctor Valley for years, Yao Dayong knew exactly what was happening. Unfortunately, before he could come up with a plan, he was already slumping unconscious.

Glancing at the unconscious Yao Dayong, Yiyue casually went to a nearby general store to buy some rope and a cart. She loaded Yao Dayong onto the cart, covered him with a blanket, and wheeled him out of the alley.

She had no intention of leaving the city, especially since there were guards at the gates. Yiyue first headed to the city bathhouse, paid someone to give Yao Dayong a bath, put some makeup on him, and dressed him in gender-neutral clothing.

After all that, Yiyue took Yao Dayong to the city's poorest area, where dark alleys were plentiful and beggars were everywhere.

In the middle of the night, a young woman like Yiyue entering the area immediately caught the attention of many beggars. Some, emboldened by their audacity, even lunged at her.

Of course, what greeted them was Yiyue's swift and invisible kick!

After a few more kicks, those people wised up and no one dared to step forward again.

Walking into the depths of the dark alley, Yiyue unceremoniously dumped Dayong off the cart. She grabbed a piece of rope and picked up a stick from the ground. Using her strength, she wedged it firmly into a gap between the stone bricks. Once she was sure it was secure, she tied Dayong to the stick. Her knots were expertly done. Dayong might have been a minor thug in terms of martial arts, but he certainly knew his way around some shady tricks. To prevent him from escaping, she put extra thought into the knots.

After tying the rope, Yiyue patted Dayong's face. He had wasted half her day, and now she was ready for the show. The effects of the drug were wearing off, and soon, Dayong would wake up.

Yiyue turned to look at the crowd of beggars behind her, all watching intently. With a smirk, she said, "This guy here has some peculiar tastes. Feel free to have fun with him. The rougher you play, the more excited he'll get. Have a great night."

With that, Yiyue swiftly leapt onto the rooftop. The beggars didn't try to stop her. Women were rare in their group, and in such a crowd, human desires were amplified. Not to mention, Yiyue had delivered someone for them to play with; they had likely engaged in such activities among themselves before.

Soon, a number of beggars surrounded Dayong, reaching out to him. Although Dayong was quite overweight, he had slimmed down a bit recently. After getting a makeover and a bath, he looked surprisingly clean and presentable, which drew some unwanted attention.

Once surrounded, Dayong finally snapped back to full awareness. Faced with the unfriendly gazes and countless hands reaching for him, he couldn't help but let out a scream.

After hearing Dayong wake up, Yiyue left immediately. She didn't want to witness such an inappropriate scene; it was too disgusting for her.

Not long after Yiyue left, a figure in white descended from above, looking coldly at Dayong below. "Yiyue seems to hate you so much. What did you do to deserve this?"

Although he had lost track of Yiyue for a while, Dongfang Bai eventually caught up. He didn't understand why Yiyue was so wary of him, but he had plenty of time, didn't he? If she didn't want to see him, he'd just follow her quietly.

Yiyue wasn't weak, but against Dongfang Bai, she was no match. She had no idea someone was trailing her.

After dealing with Dayong, Yiyue eagerly headed toward the Hero's Gathering. She couldn't ride a horse and wasn't sure how long it would take on foot, so she decided it would be more convenient to hire a carriage.

The distance to the gathering was quite far, and not many drivers were willing to make the long trip. By the time Yiyue found one, it was already getting dark. Worried about the time, Yiyue decisively asked to travel through the night. Just before the city gates closed, the driver skillfully maneuvered the carriage out of the city. As the carriage swayed gently, Yiyue couldn't help but drift off to sleep.

In her dream, a man whose face she couldn't quite see held her hand tightly. Together, they traveled to many places, living freely and righteously...

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang." A sharp pain shot through the back of her head, and the dream vanished instantly. When she opened her eyes, the carriage had stopped, and the eerie silence around her was unsettling. How did she fall asleep so suddenly? Rubbing the sore spot on her head, Yiyue reached out to pull back the curtain.

Just then, voices from outside broke the silence.

"Dongfang Bai, meddling isn't really your style."

Dongfang Bai? When did he start following her again?

"Cheng Xuan, you already have Yiling, so why are you here competing with me?"

That familiar voice grated on her nerves—so irritating!

Cheng Xuan? With Yiling? So, the rumors about Yao Yiling and Cheng Xuan were true? Competing with him? Competing for whom? Her?

In January, at this time of year, she felt like running outside. However, considering the two people outside and their combat skills, she weighed her options and decided to play dead for a while. Unfortunately, she thought, others wouldn't let her have her way!

"Since you're already awake, why not come out?" It was Cheng Xuan.

Dongfang Bai was quietly following her, not yet ready with an explanation, hoping she wouldn't go out and would pretend to know nothing.

With a slight pout, Yiyue lifted the car curtain and jumped out in a few steps. The driver had vanished, likely scared off by the sudden appearance of Cheng Xuan and Dongfang Bai.

Seeing Yiyue, Cheng Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you the one who killed the people from the Cold Palace headquarters?"

Cold Palace? Dongfang Bai frowned. He didn't know that Cheng Xuan was actually the mysterious leader of the Cold Palace. And was he seeking out Little Yue because of the recent massacre at the Cold Palace?

"Huh?" Yiyue looked up, blinking.

It wasn't surprising that the leading man had tracked her down. The people from the Cold Palace weren't fools; they could distinguish poisons. If it existed in the martial world, they could detect it. However, this time, Yiyue had used something she concocted herself, colorless and tasteless.

In the martial world, the only one who could use poison so silently was the original owner's mother, Lan Xiuxiu. Yao Yiling must have already mentioned her connection to the Poison Doctor Valley.

She sent someone to kill me, and now I'm out for revenge...
