"Yeah, she's not the type. That's why she almost got ambushed. Ling'er chose the most ordinary path, but fortunately, she has me protecting her. Otherwise, she would have been eaten alive with nothing left but bones."

"Wife, you get agitated every time you mention her."

"Yes, I'm angry."

As the two talked, the girl in the courtyard below looked up.

She knew someone had helped her, or she would have died by now.

"Thank you." 

Qiao Mai nodded at her. "You're welcome. Saving you once doesn't mean we can save you multiple times. Be cautious in the future."

"Understood."

Yuan Jiaqi led Qiao Mai back to their room. "Since we're leaving tomorrow, rest early tonight. The mosquitoes in the Taihang Mountains are numerous. I'll light some mosquito repellent for you."

Before dawn, Qiao Mai left the Taihang Mountain.

Yuan Jiaqi and Qingfeng bid farewell, preparing to set off with the four girls.
