Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

Chapter 2284 - 652: Acquisition, Ambush, Ampei

The burly man, upon hearing this, also thought it made sense, so he started to loot alongside the old man.

In no time, they had plundered all of An Yiqing and the others’ belongings, including medicines, weapons, and treasures like snake gallbladders and bear gallbladders obtained from beasts killed along the way.

"Quick, pack it up, we leave now!" The white-haired old man clumsily packed up his backpack and left. The other sturdy men hastily stuffed the items into their bags and hurriedly followed the old man.

The young girl following the burly man suddenly paused and turned to look at the sleeping An Yiqing. Remembering the mistreatment she endured along the way, the girl bit her lip, pulled out a shiny dagger, and stepped slowly towards An Yiqing.

She had never been subjected to such grievances since childhood, and this woman would not live long anyway, so why not end it early...

Just then, An Zhiying, lying outside, suddenly grunted and turned over, mumbling. The girl was startled, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clatter, and she fled the place in embarrassment.

The old man left, the burly men left, and the young girl also left. In the pitch-black forest, a dozen people were strewn across the ground, looking quite eerie.

A pair of eyes slowly opened, scanned around, and then curved into a smile. The owner of the eyes sat up and turned to shout, "Everyone’s gone, get up."

When those words were spoken, the people who had been sleeping rose together; if the old man saw this scene, he would be scared to death from a heart attack.

"That girl is really bold, daring to harbor murderous intentions towards our lady. If Zhiying hadn’t held me back, I would have had the urge to take her out with one slash." An Zhishang rubbed his eyes, glancing at An Zhiying who had roused the group.

An Yiqing came out of the tent, looked approvingly at An Zhiying, "Wouldn’t that be too easy on her? The best way to torture is to make her live a life worse than death."

"Miss, what should we do now?"

"First, inventory the stolen items; after a day, we will enter the cave." An Yiqing squinted, looking towards the dark cave entrance. She had suspected something was off about the old man’s gaze since yesterday. When the fruits brought by the burly men were served at dinner, a light sniff told her they were drugged. She used the situation to her advantage, causing everyone to faint to expose the old man’s betrayal. As expected, the old man stole her things and fled.

Thinking about how she had treated those people not well along the way, but she had saved them several times. Despite nothing else, there was hard work, right? She hadn’t expected that faced with profit, they would let greed cloud their judgment and leave them drugged in the wilderness.

"Heh heh, those old folks are courting death, so don’t blame us for being ruthless. Trying to drug us without knowing our Miss is the ancestor of using drugs!"

An Zhiyun’s words received unanimous agreement. If you don’t court death, you won’t die; they would just watch as those people’s lives get jumbled up.

A day later, refreshed, the Thirteen Blood Generals, spirited and with backpacks, followed An Yiqing to the cave. An Yiqing had already replaced what the Doomed Squad had stolen; the multifunctional aspect of their lady, akin to a Treasure Pouch, made An Zhifeng and the others quite calm.

At the deepest part of the Black Forest, there was a cave so dark one couldn’t see their own hand. It was said that inside the cave, a large beast with copper-like eyes and an enormous size was locked. Just a swipe of its paw could turn a person to ashes. This legend added both terror and mystery to the Black Forest. Many adventurers sought to explore it, but they either died en route or perished inside the cave.

It’s said that several people had managed to enter the cave, but only two escaped. But those two became insane, screaming "there are ghosts" day and night.

An Yiqing did not know if these legends were true, but to her, pursuing destiny still required taking risks, not to mention dealing with these demons and monsters.

Cautiously entering the cave, before she could turn on the flashlight, a rushing sound suddenly came from overhead, followed by what seemed like a pack of something flying by. In the darkness, countless red glows flashed in mid-air, causing chills.

"It’s bats, don’t startle them. Wait until they fly away." An Yiqing whispered.
