Chapter 407 - Flower Thief

Chapter 407 Flower Thief

“Alas, finally we get to take a bath.”

The two instinctively sighed simultaneously and they smiled as they exchanged looks. Words were not needed to express their feelings at this moment.

Doing business was truly not a thing for the ladies. Not only was the journey rushed and tiring, but it was also very trying for the females because of their love for cleanliness.

However, the post stations along the journey only provided them with food and water. Baths were a luxury item.

The thought of not being able to take a bath for half a month was a nightmare to both Lin Mengya and Baishao.

Nevertheless, according to Master Guo, there were some women among the traveling businessmen.

Furthermore, women who could survive being in the trade were all of ruthless and relentless characters.

Lin Mengya could not agree more.

Unfortunately, she had to admit that she would not make a power woman like them

If she was able to safely obtain the medicine she had set out to find during this trip, she would never go on such a long journey again.

“Master, we have to continue traveling on the horse carriage for many more days. Later on, let’s go out to buy some delicious snacks for the rest of the journey.”

Baishao got out of the bath quickly but realized that her master had fallen asleep.

Lin Mengya was leaning against the side of the bathtub. Her face was all flushed and she looked somewhat exhausted.

Although they were traveling in a group and there were always the prince and the Imperial Physician Qiu who helped her with many things, her master’s health was after all still very weak.

Baishao retreated from the bathroom quietly. She thought that her master would not catch a cold if she was left to sleep for a while longer. After all, the water was still hot.

She supposed her master would be hungry when she woke up in a while. She’d better go to prepare some food, lest whatever food was offered here should not fit her master’s liking.

At the thought, Baishao exited Lin Mengya’s room and closed its door behind her.

At present, Lin Mengya had sunk into a deep sleep in the large bathtub.

Her watery eyes were tightly shut. She was quietly resting her side-turned head on her snow-white arm. All that was audible was the sound of her breathing.

All of a sudden, the closed window gradually opened from the outside.

Thereafter, a pair of hands wrapped in black gloves found its way onto the window sill.

A dark figure landed quickly on the floor.

This man had his face covered by a piece of black clothes, leaving only a pair of eyes visible.

A look of surprise appeared in his eyes when he spotted the girl in the bathtub, which subsequently turned to a look of embarrassment. However, after a moment of hesitation, the dark figure still moved towards the bathtub.

At this instant, Lin Mengya was still sleeping soundly and was not aware of the danger that awaited her.

The black moved swiftly like the wind and touched her vital point which kept her asleep, then he carried her out of the bathtub and wrapped a blanket around her body.

He carried her in his arms and was about to go back the way he came.

However, for some unknown reason, he stopped in his tracks.

Just as the dark figure carrying a sleeping Lin Mengya was about to leave, the scene which he witnessed just a moment ago seemed to come into his mind once again.

The dark figure pondered for a while and then put her down gently onto the bed. With trembling hands, he lifted the blanket from her.

Lin Mengya, now lying on the bed, gave a glimpse of her body.

At the sight of Lin Mengya’s snow-white back, the dark figure gasped.

Just when he was going to continue lifting the blanket, someone kicked the room door open with great force.

“Go die!”

It was Long Tianyu’s voice of rage and murderous tone.

The sword in Long Tianyu’s hand was taken out of its sheath, but the dark figure quickly dodged the attack.

As the dark figure moved away, Long Tianyu saw the exposed Lin Mengya on the bed.

Gnashing his teeth, Long Tianyu’s rage had shot up.

He would not have gone out if not for Baishao telling him that Lin Mengya wanted to take a rest. He had wanted to have a look around Square Town to explore the food the town had to offer.

He did not expect to hear the sound of windows opening coming from Lin Mengya’s room when he arrived at her door.

He thought she had woken up, yet he heard the sound of moving water.

In a while, Long Tianyu could tell something was amiss from what he was hearing. He kicked open the door and what came into sight made him fly into a rage.

How dared this lewd man to harbor evil thoughts on his woman.

Long Tianyu would be called a useless man if he did not kill this man there and then!

He wielded his sword charged towards the man but there was something strange about the man’s movements.

No matter how ferocious Long Tianyu’s move was, the man was always able to dodge and escape at the last moment when the sword was about to reach him.

“You won’t be able to kill me!”

The dark figure suddenly spoke, but his voice sounded like the cawing of a crow. It was unpleasant to the ears.

Long Tianyu did not respond but continued wielding the sword and charged towards the figure.

The dark figure, however, also did not appear to be relaxed.

Long Tianyu’s skill in martial arts far surpassed that of the man’s.

As the dark figure realized that he was no match for Long Tianyu, he seemed to become anxious. He used his weird movements to dodge Long Tianyu’s sword and fled out through the door.

Outside, many people were alarmed by the sound of fighting in the room.

Qiu Yu, who was occupying the neighboring room, rushed over quickly. The first thing he saw was Long Tianyu coming out of through the door of Lin Mengya’s room.

“Guard the door and don’t allow anyone to go in!”

Lin Mengya was still sleeping at this moment and Long Tianyu was caught in a dilemma.

The moment he saw Qiu Yu, he instructed him to guard Lin Mengya without further hesitation, then he proceeded to chase the dark figure, still holding on to his sword.

In a flash, both men disappeared into the night. Qiu Yu was left standing there in a daze, while Baishao’s voice sounded through the air.

“What, what’s happening?”

Qiu Yu queried Baishao, but Baishao was as clueless as him.

“Oh yes! My Master is still taking a bath! Master!”

When Baishao pushed open the door and entered the room, what came into her sight was her master, all wet and naked, lying on the bed facing down.

Qiu Yu, who had instinctively followed Baishao into the room, saw the woman of the bed and immediately turned around and walked out of the door of the room.

It was no wonder that Long Tianyu had instructed to guard the room and not let anyone enter.

“What happened, Brother Qiu? What had happened to Little Brother Yuan?”

Zhao Fei and Wen Shi, who heard the commotion, also approached the door, wanting to enter.

They were stopped by Qiu Yu, who was blocking the door.

With a gentle voice, Qiu Yu said, “Someone deserving death had stolen my cousin’s silver. My eldest cousin had gone after him, but my little cousin had a scare. Brothers, I think it’s better not to disturb my little cousin now. What do you say?”

Zhao Fei and Wen Shi exchanged looks and nodded.

Although Little Brother Yuan Lin had put on clothes made of poor quality fabric, he was not able to hide his delicate complexion. He did not look one bit like someone from a common family.

However, given that they were among the group of businessmen, the thieves would not be too outrageous.

How dared the thieves to break the rules and steal so openly!

“Rest assured, Brother Qiu. Stealing from Little Brother Yuan was as good as insulting us. We will go and check out with the local influential thug to find out who exactly was this person who was not afraid of death but dared steal from our group of businessmen!”

After they finished speaking, the two men walked out, looking fierce and overbearing.

After waiting for around fifteen minutes, Baishao finally emerged from the room, frowning.

“How is it? Did she suffer any harm?”

It was difficult for him to inquire about such kind of things.

Blushing, Baishao shook her head and said, “No, there isn’t anything serious. However, my master just wouldn’t wake from her sleep. I’m going to look for a physician for her.”

Just when she finished her sentence, she realized that there was a highly skilled physician right before her eyes!

She immediately dragged Qiu Yu into the room. By now, she had helped Lin Mengya put on a new set of clothes.

Her long hair had been wiped dry, but her face was still flushed and she was still asleep.

Qiu Yu frowned in puzzlement. Lin Mengya was usually more vigilant than him. How was it possible for her to not sense anything when there was such a great commotion?

He reached out to take her pulse and was shocked to realize that her pulse was extremely weak.

This, this was a sign that she was severely ill.

Next, he checked on her breathing straight away, as well as the pulse on her neck, but they seemed normal. When he went back to checking the pulse on her wrist, it was normal again.

Strange, it was not like this a moment ago.

Could he be hallucinating?

“Imperial Physician Qiu, is my master alright?”

Baishao, who was standing by, observed the instant changes in Qiu Yu’s expression, became anxious she felt her heart in her throat.

She thought her master had fallen seriously ill.

Qiu Yu, however, merely shook his head and said, “It’s nothing of concern. Someone had locked her sleep vital point. When I unlock it in a while, she will be just fine. Oh yes, is your master suffering from any chronic and stubborn illness?”

Qiu Yu asked with the flow of things as he turned Lin Mengya over and tapped on a few vital points on her back using just the right strength.

Baishao pondered for a moment and said, “She is not suffering from any chronic and stubborn illness. My master had always been healthy. Oh, but I remember that when Miss Yue passed away last year, my master was overwhelmed by grief and her heart and veins were impacted. I’ve been reminding her to take care but she refused to listen to us. The prince engaged well-known physicians to have a look at her, but all of them claimed that she was fine. Eventually, we had to let the matter rest.”

Qiu Yu did not think that Lin Mengya’s heart and veins had been affected.

He went back to checking her pulse again. He did not think her heart had been impacted by grief because her pulse was more even and calm than that of a grown man.

Perhaps he really was hallucinating.

After all, there were bound to be differences in people’s pulses. Perhaps Lin Mengya’s disposition was so unique that he had made a wrong diagnosis.

After he unlocked Lin Mengya’s sleep vital point, her breathing quickened and her long lashes quivered. Eventually, her eyes slowly opened.

“Ssss... Baishao, what’s happened to me? I feel that my body had been bashed.”

The moment Lin Mengya opened her eyes, she saw it was Qiu Yu who was sitting by her bedside.

She felt around for her blanket and quickly covered herself with it.

She remembered she was taking a bath a moment ago. Could this guy...

“You’re misunderstood. I’m not what you imagine me to be. Someone locked your vital point for sleep. I was the one who unlocked it.”

Qiu Yu tried his best to speak with a gentle and sweet voice. He was aware that it was an extremely embarrassing thing for a girl to be violated.

Moreover, Lin Mengya was such an intelligent girl with a strong character. He feared that she would not be to face up to what happened.

“What? Did someone try to violate me? That someone must be tired of living! Where is he? Today, I’ll dig out his eyes so he’ll have no means of doing such things again!”
