Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

This sudden situation terrified Luo Shun out of his wits, and he almost cried out.

But just as he opened his mouth, Qianqian, as if prescient, quickly covered his mouth, leaving him unable to shout.

Qianqian brought Luo Shun galloping all the way until they reached a secluded, deserted alley. After leaving the alley, an inn lay before them.

Upon entering the inn, they first looked around to confirm there were no familiar faces nearby, then felt relieved enough to rent two rooms.

Luo Shun stepped into Qianqian's room, looked around, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Wow, Eldest Brother Ming'an, just how many things do I not know about you? This inn looks expensive, and you actually know lightness kung fu, and so skillfully!"

Qianqian smiled and replied: "Luo Eldest Brother, don't rush yet. Let me have the waiter bring hot water first. After washing up, I'll tell you everything slowly."

Luo Shun nodded and answered: "Oh, that works." After saying this, he walked to the table, poured himself a cup of water, and drank it in one gulp.

Qianqian looked at him and said softly: "Luo Eldest Brother, you should go wash up too. It's been a month since you bathed; you probably smell a bit."

Luo Shun smelled himself, laughed embarrassedly, and said: "Alright, I think I do smell a bit." After finishing, he stood up and walked out of Qianqian's room.

Seeing this, Qianqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had actually been worried Luo Shun might say, "We're all men, why not bathe together?" Just thinking about it terrified her.

Not long after, the waiter had prepared the hot water. Qianqian quickly removed her clothing and slowly immersed herself in the water, feeling the warm flow wrap around her body, as if all her fatigue was washed away at that moment.

Qianqian couldn't help sighing that life in the military camp over the past month had truly been harsh, with even daily bathing becoming a luxury.

Back home, she bathed every day after practicing martial arts, long accustomed to this feeling of cleanliness and relaxation.

But since coming to the military camp, Qianqian only dared to fetch a little water and quietly wipe her arms, legs, and neck herself, and it had to be done inside her own tent.

After all, her arms and legs were somewhat slender, not at all like a man's, and would easily arouse suspicion. However, Luo Shun had long grown accustomed to this.

At first, Luo Shun had some suspicions about Qianqian's situation, but when Qianqian explained that she had a disease,

a disease that made it impossible for her body to absorb anything she ate, so no matter what she couldn't gain weight, and her stomach was also bad so she couldn't eat much, Luo Shun's suspicions gradually dissipated.

Hearing Qianqian's explanation, Luo Shun felt increasingly sympathetic toward this "brother" who had joined the army for his family.

At this moment, Qianqian was immersed in the warmth of the bathtub, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation. Soaking in the water, she felt all her fatigue washed away and really didn't want to come out.

But just as she was lost in it, Luo Shun had finished bathing and was gently knocking on the door outside, asking: "Eldest Brother Ming'an, are you done?"

Qianqian was startled and hurriedly lowered her voice to reply: "Right away, Luo Eldest Brother, wait a moment. I'll find you after I finish bathing."

Luo Shun responded and then turned back to his own room. As Luo Shun's footsteps faded away, Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she didn't dare continue soaking, fearing Luo Shun would grow impatient and come knock again. She hurriedly stood up and hastily wiped the water droplets off her body.

She quickly put on her clothing, tidied her appearance, and then picked up the Human Skin Mask.

However, when she touched the Human Skin Mask, she suddenly felt its texture wasn't as good as before.

She couldn't help recalling what Old Master Bai had once said: the Human Skin Mask needed regular soaking to maintain good texture and flexibility.

Qianqian hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to put on the Human Skin Mask first and make do with it for a while.

She would find time to soak it properly when she returned at night to restore it to its original condition.

She carefully put the Human Skin Mask on her face, then carefully attached the Adam's apple, combed her hair neatly, and made sure everything looked natural and perfect.

After doing all this, Qianqian took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked toward Luo Shun's room.

At this moment, Luo Shun was lying comfortably on the bed, still exclaiming: "It's great to have money! This bed is much more comfortable than the military camp!"

However, he was also somewhat puzzled: why would someone as rich as Eldest Brother Ming'an still join the army? This question left Luo Shun's mind spinning.

Just as Luo Shun was lost in random thoughts, a light knocking suddenly came from the door. He was too lazy to even get up and casually shouted: "Come in!"

The door was pushed open and Qianqian walked in. She immediately noticed some lingering steam in the room; obviously Luo Shun had just finished bathing.

Qianqian casually opened the window to let fresh air circulate, then walked to the bedside, looked at Luo Shun lying on the bed, and said softly: "Let's go eat?"

Luo Shun responded: "Sure, where to eat?"

Qianqian thought for a moment, then said carelessly: "Hmm... let's just find any restaurant to grab a bite."

Her tone was relaxed and casual, as if she didn't particularly care about eating.

However, when Luo Shun heard Qianqian's words, his eyes involuntarily widened, and he said with a face full of surprise: "Eldest Brother Ming'an, restaurants are expensive!"

Obviously, he was worried about the cost of eating at a restaurant.

Qianqian, however, smiled dismissively and answered cheerfully: "I'm treating, let's go! It's rare to have a day off, so don't quibble over so much." Her words conveyed a sense of generosity and nonchalance.

Seeing this, Luo Shun still had some doubts in his heart, but couldn't refuse anymore, so he couldn't help asking further: "Eldest Brother Ming'an, just how much money do you have?" He was really curious why Qianqian was so generous.

Qianqian's mouth corners curved slightly, revealing a confident smile, and she replied: "Anyway, it's enough to spend, don't worry."

Her answer was concise and straightforward, making people inevitably speculate more about her financial situation.

Luo Shun wanted to keep asking, but before he could open his mouth, Qianqian had already grabbed his arm, like pulling a child, and quickly walked out the door.

The two walked for a while and arrived at the entrance of a restaurant that looked quite luxurious. The restaurant's exterior was decorated very grandly, and the signboard in front of the door was especially eye-catching.
