Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Thinking of this, Luo Shun decided he could not waste such expensive dishes, so he began to shovel them into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

Qianqian's appetite was originally not large, and on top of that, during this period in the military camp she had gone hungry, making her appetite even smaller, so after only a few bites she felt full.

During the meal, Luo Shun would occasionally raise his head to glance at Qianqian.

When he discovered Qianqian had already put down her chopsticks and was drinking water on her own, he could not help asking curiously, "You're not eating anymore?" Qianqian smiled and nodded, replying softly, "Mm, I'm full, can't eat any more."

Luo Shun looked at the table full of delicacies and could not help exclaiming, "Such expensive dishes, how can they be wasted!" Seeing this, Qianqian beside him smiled faintly and said gently, "Then you just eat more."

Hearing this, Luo Shun said nothing more and continued burying his head eating hard. Meanwhile Qianqian stared off thoughtfully, secretly pondering in her heart.

She could not help thinking of her parents far away in her hometown, wondering what they were eating at this moment, and whether they were also worrying about her. And Yan Jie — was he studying medicine properly?

And that Wangchen who was always unfathomable — where was he at this moment?

Just as Qianqian was letting her thoughts run wild, Luo Shun had already swept the table clean of all dishes like a whirlwind.

Only then did Qianqian snap back to her senses, seeing Luo Shun sitting contentedly in his chair, patting his round belly, and sighing, "Ah, thinking that I have to return to the military camp tomorrow, my heart really feels a bit uncomfortable."

Qianqian hurriedly comforted him, "Once you work hard and become a General, with your own manor, won't you no longer have to stay in the military camp? Eat whatever you want, live however comfortably, buy a few servants to wait on you — those days would truly be wonderful!"

Hearing Qianqian's words, a beautiful scene instantly surfaced in Luo Shun's mind, and he could not help feeling his heart yearn for it. Qianqian's words were like nectar poured on his crown, filling him with anticipation for the future.

Seeing Luo Shun had eaten his fill, Qianqian proposed, "Let's go, I'm a bit tired today, want to rest early."

Luo Shun naturally had no objection, and the two rose together and slowly walked downstairs.

After Qianqian settled the bill, she returned to the inn together with Luo Shun. Upon entering the room, Luo Shun immediately asked enthusiastically, "Brother Ming'an, want to go out for a stroll tonight?"

Qianqian shook her head with a weary face and replied, "No, I'm really too tired, don't want to move at all. If you want to go, go yourself. But remember to be careful when you go out, absolutely don't let anyone else discover you, otherwise it'll be hard to explain."

Hearing this, Luo Shun, though somewhat disappointed, still nodded in understanding and said, "Alright, I know."

Qianqian returned to her own room, and after closing the door, she sighed with relief.

She walked to the bedside, sat down gently, then reached up and removed the human skin mask from her face. The moment the mask was lifted, it revealed her original beauty that could topple cities and states.

Qianqian placed the mask on the table, went behind the screen, and took out a set of women's clothing from her bundle. She quickly changed clothes, tidied her makeup in front of the mirror, then nodded in satisfaction.

【25】 Qianqian placed the mask on the table, went behind the screen, and took out a set of women's clothing from her bundle. She quickly changed clothes, tidied her makeup in front of the mirror, then nodded in satisfaction.

Worried about being discovered, Qianqian did not choose to walk out the inn's main door, but carefully pushed open the window and leapt out. She landed lightly on the street outside the inn, like a butterfly fluttering in dance.

Qianqian took a deep breath of the fresh night air, and a surge of emotion welled in her heart: "The outside world is still better!" Ever since entering the military camp, she had felt as if locked in a cage, restricted everywhere, unable to act freely.

At this moment, Qianqian strolled on the main street, enjoying the rare free time. She had no specific destination, just wandering aimlessly, admiring the scenery and crowds along the way.

However, just as she inadvertently looked up, she suddenly saw a familiar figure not far ahead. Fixing her gaze, that person was actually Luo Shun!

Qianqian stood in place, watching Luo Shun not far away, thinking to wait for him to leave first; although she had removed the human skin mask, Luo Shun probably could not recognize her at all.

But what if it caused unnecessary trouble? So she did not step forward; she scanned her surroundings, and when her gaze swept over the small stalls of Chunning City, those colorful snacks immediately caught her attention.

Various aromas assaulted her nose, making Qianqian's saliva flow involuntarily.

She recalled the meal just now at the restaurant; although it was also delicious, for some reason she kept thinking of the food at home. That familiar taste made her lose her appetite for a while, so she had not eaten her fill.

And the snacks here were unique to Xishang Kingdom; Dachang Kingdom simply did not have them. This made Qianqian feel very novel, and she walked and ate, enjoying these unique delicacies.

Walking along, Qianqian suddenly felt a figure not far away looked somewhat familiar. She fixed her gaze and discovered that person looked very much like Wangchen! Her heart tightened and she hurriedly quickened her pace to follow.

However, that person seemed to sense someone tailing him, and suddenly employed lightness skill, shooting forward swiftly like a flying bird. Seeing this, Qianqian also wanted to use lightness skill to chase, but helplessly she still held snacks in her hand, making it very inconvenient to do so on the main street.

Despite this, Qianqian was unwilling to give up easily. She felt that person was very likely Wangchen, so she searched all around nearby, hoping to see his figure again.

However, after a round of searching, Qianqian did not find any trace of Wangchen. Just as she was feeling somewhat disappointed, a familiar figure appeared before her — it was precisely the Zhenxi General!

Qianqian's heart was full of doubt: what special day was today? How did everyone coincidentally choose today? She could not help becoming curious, and decided to employ her superb lightness skill to quietly follow the Zhenxi General and find out the truth.

The Zhenxi General's figure wove through the crowd; Qianqian followed lightly like a ghost. The Zhenxi General did not detect anyone tailing him at all; he walked straight into a brothel.

Qianqian stood at the brothel entrance, somewhat in a dilemma. After all, she was currently dressed in women's clothing; a place like a brothel was probably not suitable for a woman to enter.

But she did not want to miss this opportunity, so she had a flash of inspiration, flashed her figure, and slipped in through an empty room on the second floor.
