When Su Qing said this, blood was still dripping from the tip of the steel knife in her hand. Her expression was gloomy as if a judge from the netherworld would judge their life and death at any time.

The Mo City Zhizhou’s hamstring was so painful that his entire body trembled. He was so scared when he saw the gloomy and terrifying Su Qing that he did not even dare to cry out in pain, afraid that he would provoke Su Qing to stab him in the neck.

He could still live if he lost his official position, but he couldn’t live if he lost his life. He struggled to get up and knelt at Su Qing’s feet, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

“Princess, please spare my life. This lowly official will scram back now.”

“Remember, if you dare to step into Mo City, I will make sure you die without a burial place.”

Su Qing placed the bloody tip of the knife on his eyelid. The cold tip of the knife carried the thick smell of blood, scaring the Mo City Zhizhou so much that his entire body stiffened, and he did not dare to move. He cried and promised Su Qing,

“I’m not going. I’m not going to Mo City.”

“Get lost!”

Su Qing withdrew her knife and threw it on the ground. She ordered coldly, and the Zhizhou and the bailiffs scrambled out of the forest as if they had been pardoned.

The Zhizhou was the laughable one. Su Qing had picked his hamstring, and with the support of his wife and daughter, he jumped out of the forest like a monkey.

None of the bailiffs cared about him. Once they left the forest, they went their separate ways. What kind of bailiffs were they? Who would do the life-threatening work? They didn’t want to be bailiffs. Zhizhou was nothing.

To make it easier for them to escape, they even snatched Zhizhou’s carriage. The Zhizhou, who was high and mighty just now, was deserted by everyone.

“I told you not to return, but you said wealth comes from danger. The Tartans are all savages who eat human flesh and drink human blood.”

The Zhizhou’s wife cried and complained about her husband. The Zhizhou’s face was ashen, and his expression was defeated. He really should not have come back.

Su Qing chased the Zhizhou and the bailiffs away and returned to continue roasting the meat. The meat sizzled in the fire, and the fragrance was alluring.

No one knew about the fight here. Xiao Qi was helping out in the coal cave. Five carts of coal were dug up very quickly. Xiao Fatty Qi turned from white and fat to black like coal. Only when she smiled did her teeth become white.

She shook the fur on her body with all her might, but she only shook off little cinders. Xiao Qi, who loved cleanliness, couldn’t stand being so dirty. She was afraid her master wouldn’t love her, so she ran to find a water source to bathe.

Xiaoying feared this little fellow would get lost and chased after him. “Lucky Beast, don’t run, don’t run.”

Xiao Qi ran even faster. She found the river where Su Qing was bathing and jumped into the river in a beautiful arc.

When Xiaoying ran over, she saw Xiao Qi falling into the water. She was so anxious that she jumped into the water as well. She had forgotten that she was a landlubber. Fortunately, the water wasn’t deep. However, it was late autumn, and the river water was bone-chilling. When she jumped into the water, her limbs were frozen stiff. She stood in the water and shivered, unable to speak.

In the end, Xiao Qi noticed something was wrong with her after taking a shower. She pulled Xiaoying out of the water and onto the shore. Xiaoying was trembling non-stop, and her lips were purple.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi took out a palace warming pill and handed it to her. Xiaoying saw the medicine that Xiao Qi handed over and didn’t ask what it was. She took it and put it in her mouth.

Xiao Qi blinked her big amber eyes and looked at her. The concern in her eyes touched Xiaoying.

The bone-piercing coldness gradually disappeared after eating the palace warming pill. Xiaoying asked Xiao Qi curiously, “What medicine did you give me? So godly! You won’t be cold after eating it.”

Xiao Qi tilted her head and smiled at her. She couldn’t speak human language but could speak the beast language, so she started talking to Xiaoying.

Xiaoying was confused. What was she talking about? She didn’t understand a single word.

Everyone worked together to carry the basket full of coal back. Xiao Qi did the work of digging the coal. Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi did not allow anyone to move the coal. They were the only ones who did it.

They were back, and Su Qing’s stewed meat was ready. It was okay if they didn’t have chopsticks. They could use the willow branches to peel off the skin and use them as chopsticks. It wouldn’t affect the meat at all.

Su Qing handed the piece of sizzling meat to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi smiled happily and blinked her velvety eyes at her master. Her furry eyelashes fluttered as she thanked her master with her eyes.

The corners of Su Qing’s mouth curled up slightly. This little gal earned what she gave her.

After eating and drinking their fill, Su Qing took Xiaoying and the others back to the coal cave and used the dried branches and grass to cover the entrance.

The sky turned dark early. It was already dark at five o’clock. Su Qing and the others took advantage of the night to rush back. They will be in Mo City tomorrow.

One pig was only half eaten in a situation where Li Daniu, Jiang Laoqi, and Xiao Qi were all gluttons who fought against three people alone.

Su Qing then weaved two baskets to store the remaining pig, half of the cooked pork, and the hoof water.

Su Qing was rushing back with her men. Halfway there, she saw a man riding a fast horse. The moonlight shone on him, and he looked like a god who had descended to the mortal world.

Su Qing’s eyesight was excellent. She could see who was on the horse from so far away.

Xiao Qi sat on the shaft of the carriage beside Su Qing. She also saw Ji Shuisheng. The male owner was here to snatch her master again. The little fellow pouted and looked at Ji Shuisheng unhappily with her big eyes.

Ji Shuisheng saw the convoy from afar and rode over. He came to Su Qing’s horse and pulled the reins. The black horse stood up and let out a pitter-patter sound. Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing with a smile in his black eyes.

“Su Qing.”

Seeing her, his restless heart finally relaxed.

“Big brother.”

When Xiaoying saw that her big brother had arrived, she happily jumped out of the carriage and ran. Her crisp, sweet voice was like a silver bell being blown by the wind. Her bright smile carried a little pride as she was anxious to get credit from her big brother.

“We dug five carts of coal.”

“Not bad.”

Ji Shuisheng glanced at his sister and praised her with a smile. Then, his gaze fell on Su Qing, who was quietly looking at him.

“I went to Tartan to look for you but couldn’t find you.”

Ji Shuisheng jumped off the horse and walked to Su Qing. He smiled at her and said, “Although I know no one can hurt you, I’m still worried.”

“Yes.”

Su Qing saw a smile in Ji Shuisheng’s eyes. It had only been three days since they last met, and she had already missed him. When she heard that Ji Shuisheng had gone to look for her, the smile in her eyes deepened.

The feeling of being cared for was really good. It was as if the sun had penetrated the ice and warmed her heart.

Ji Shuisheng’s gaze landed on Xiao Qi, his eyes filled with confusion. What kind of animal was this chubby little fellow?

When Xiao Qi saw her male master sizing her up, she straightened her back and placed her tiny hands behind her. Her tsundere appearance amused Ji Shuisheng.

“What kind of animal is this? It’s fun.”

Hearing the male owner say she was fun, Xiao Qi rolled her eyes at him and cursed in her heart, “It’s not fun. I’m a lovely girl.”

Su Qing glanced sideways at Xiao Qi and saw her angry and indignant look. She couldn’t help but pat her little head and decided to introduce her to them formally.

“She’s called Xiao Qi, my lucky beast..”
