Entering Shengjing for the First Time

Everyone knew that the capital was bustling. There were many passers-by who wore simple clothes. The people's faces were rosy. There were also many people in the Jianghu.

In the crowd, there was a young lady with her hair tied into two buns. Her eyebrows were not as gentle as those of ordinary women. They were all playful. It was likely that she had just entered the capital and did not know much about the capital. She looked around in a daze. Her eyes were very similar to grapes, lively and full of vitality.

An Shuyao strolled along the street. She was a seventeen-year-old girl, so how could she be serious? An Shuyao stopped in front of the sugar figurine stall on the street. She pursed her lips and touched her purse. She didn't bring enough money with her when she came out. She had already spent a lot on the way to the capital.

An Shuyao was born in a family of coroners in Xuzhou. She had no interest in the four arts that women loved since she was young. She looked sweet and cute, and her eyelashes were as long as butterflies.

She had come to the capital to take the coroner's qualification test. An Shuyao could only take the coroner's qualification test in the capital. In the county, only men could take the exam. An Shuyao had heard that there were no restrictions in the capital. An Shuyao naturally took her luggage and became a monk without telling her family.

"Young lady, do you want to buy a candy figurine to eat here?"

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle. I won't take it."

"You've been standing here for a long time. This sugar figurine is one of the ones I ruined just now. If you don't mind, take it over and eat it."

An Shuyao took the sugar figurine from the old man and smiled brightly." Thank you, old man."

So sweet.

As expected, there were still many good people in Beijing.

An Shuyao was happy to see that the wound on the old man's hand was a burn. It looked like an old injury, but there was a small black and red bag in the middle. The red bag was round and had a black tip on it.

This bag was very small, so he wouldn't care if he didn't look closely. However, this wasn't right. If an old injury shouldn't cause the old man's hand to tremble so much, there might be a problem.

"Uncle, when did your hand show signs of trembling?"

The old uncle was curious." Miss, do you have any ideas?"

"Has this hand been scalded and not been washed with cold water in time?"

The old man was even more surprised." Yes, that day, I entered the mountain and didn't return at night. It was cold in the mountains at night, so I could only light a fire with a lighter. The lighter accidentally burned the area between the thumb and index finger of my hand. I don't know why, but the back of my hand started to have blisters. After the blisters, small black pimples would appear from time to time."

An Shuyao looked at the scholar in front of the stall without batting an eyelid. Then, she looked at the two people in front of the opposite stall pretending to pick something. The two people looked like they were picking something, but in fact, they were just picking up the same thing over and over again.

An Shuyao took out a clean handkerchief and held up the boss's hand. She looked at it carefully and quickly saw the symptoms." This is an infection caused by not treating it in time. It causes local infection and forms inflamed nodes. There will be pain, redness, and even pus. I'm afraid that the black bean growth varies from person to person."

Although the old man didn't understand what An Shuyao was saying, he felt that she made sense and nodded repeatedly. He quickly asked An Shuyao if she had a solution. The old man relied on his skills to make a living, and now his hands would tremble from time to time.

An Shuyao naturally had a way to treat this old man, but most men would not accept a woman as a doctor. An Shuyao looked up at the old man." Old man, do you trust me?"

A pale-faced scholar stopped in front of the stall and happened to hear An Shuyao's words. He found it interesting and couldn't help but interject," Is this lady a doctor?"

An Shuyao glanced at the scholar, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly. This guy didn't look like a scholar. Whether it was his speech, words, or actions, he was like an official in the capital. Although he looked like a scholar, he didn't match this man.

"I am a coroner."

When he heard this, his uncle was shocked and subconsciously distanced himself from An Shuyao. His expression was filled with disgust. That was a coroner who often dealt with dead people. Who wouldn't find it unlucky? The scholar also distanced himself from An Shuyao.

An Shuyao was used to their attitude towards coroners. The scholar asked with interest," You're just a woman, so why are you a coroner?"

" Since you find me unlucky, why are you asking me? It's fine if you just think that I'm interesting, but you're prejudiced against women by saying this. Why can't a woman be a coroner? My ability to examine corpses is also passed down in my family. What's wrong with reviving the dead and making the dead talk?"

The scholar clicked his tongue in wonder. An Shuyao's words were clear and logical, and he, who was always eloquent, was unable to refute her. An Shuyao's attitude towards them was no longer strange, but in front of them, the scholar clearly despised him for being unlucky, yet he still had to ask questions.

The scholar also knew that he had been impolite and hurriedly bowed." Miss, please don't mind."

An Shuyao ate the sugar figurine and avoided the scholar's bow." Little Lord, you don't have to bow to me."

The scholar stared at An Shuyao in surprise. He straightened his sleeves and gently flicked his sleeves, which were originally closed, to open them. The scholar's clothes immediately turned into a loose casual robe.

"You have good eyesight."

" If I didn't have good eyesight, how could I have come all the way from Xu Prefecture? There were so many people with ill intentions along the way. I'm a woman who has traveled all the way here. Naturally, I have to see through them. Moreover, Little Lord is not alone outside."

An Shuyao analyzed carefully." For example, the two people in front of the stall across the street would glance over here from time to time. The thick calluses on their hands must have been polished from holding cold weapons for a long time, and their subconscious movements from time to time."

The scholar felt that An Shuyao's words made sense, so he nodded repeatedly and waved his hand slightly. The two people dressed in civilian clothes from the opposite stall walked in front of the scholar and knelt down. They lowered their heads and said," Mo Shaoqing."

"Get up."

" You're still a Shaoqing?!"

An Shuyao was surprised.

"I don't dare, I don't dare."

Mo Chen stared at An Shuyao with great interest." Are you really here to participate in the coroner's assessment?"

"How would I dare to lie about this?"

Mo Chen fanned his face and shook it. An Shuyao was interested and couldn't help but laugh out loud." Pfft, little miss is really rare."

This Shaoqing was too rude. His words were full of teasing, and it really made people feel unhappy. Although he looked good, he was too unruly. People often heard rumors about Mo Chen, but this was the first time they saw him in person. An Shuyao could not help but shake her head.

When Mo Chen saw An Shuyao's angry expression, he hurriedly said," My surname is Mo and my name is Chen. I'm a young official of the Supreme Court. Little miss, do you remember me?"

An Shuyao placed her hand on her waist and knelt on one knee." Mo Shaoqing."

"Why are you suddenly kneeling?"

"This commoner should kneel. How can it be so sudden? Please forgive this commoner for not knowing." An Shuyao said it in a self-righteous manner, but there wasn't much politeness in her words.

No one else.” He raised an arm and ran his fingers through the side of her hair, settling his palm on the back of her head before he pulled her down until her face was a palm length away from him. “You better use this at your own disposal,” he whispered, tilting his head as he lifted it up to claim what’s his.

And if she found out that Abel wasn’t just a normal human, would she try to escape? Or would she accept that he wasn’t just a demon incarnate? In a complicated world that tainted them black, was love even possible to bloom between a pet and her master? Watch as these two play the dangerous and insane game of love and lust.
