Yi Lei Fang was already up from the bed, fixing her wrinkled clothes and messy hair from the fight. She did not pay any mind as to what was going on outside of the tent.
She peeked around, trying to find her weapons and her pouch, but there was no trace of it. She slaps her forehead, regretting not putting her weapons and her pouch in the dimensional space when she was running away from Guan Yu.
The last dagger she used was during the time she cut the rope to free herself. Now that dagger is in Guan Yu's hand, so how is she going to escape knowing that the two soldiers also have weapons on them? Even though all of her daggers look cheap, they are surprisingly sharp and easy to carry.
If Yi Lei Fang was to find out Guan Yu wastefully threw her dagger, she would have to stomp his handsome face flat down onto the ground. Even the Chinese astronomer, Zhang Heng, wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the flatness of the ground to Guan Yu's head.
Yi Lei Fang began to pace back and forth, making plans to escape. Then her eyes lit up. She stealthily walks up to the entrance, listening to any movement outside until she heard one of the soldiers burst out laughing and talking to the other, "Hahaha! Senior Chao, look at that little rabbit. It's dancing. Hahaha!"
Yi Lei Fang's furrowed her brows, thinking to herself. Little rabbit? Then a big smile spread across her face. Who else can it be if not Li Wei! She wants to squeeze the little furball with a big hug.
While Li Wei was distracting the two soldiers, she plans to take this chance to knock them out and look for Zhang Jing. But before she even takes one step out of the tent, she felt someone poked her shoulder. Her hair stood up as she felt cold sweat forming on her forehead.
There is no one in the tent with Yi Lei Fang but herself, therefore, who in the world poked her shoulder!?
She can pretty much handle insects, reptiles, lion, zombies, leprechauns, and other ferocious animals, but one thing she is scared of are ghosts!
Heck, even watching a scary Thai movie, Shutter, fucking scared the crap out of her! Who in the right mind wants a female ghost sitting on your shoulders with her long hair covering her face!
Yi Lei Fang stiffly turned around. She saw that it was Zhang Jing kneeling on one knee with her palms open. What's in her hand was Yi Lei Fang's sword and pouch. Yi Lei Fang let out a sigh of relief and silently patted her chest to calm her pounding heart.
Yi Lei Fang grabbed her stuff from Zhang Jing's hands. She was smiling from ear to ear, feeling relieved and happy she is reunited with her goodies. Zhang Jing got up from the ground after Yi Lei Fang got her things. However, Zhang Jing was not done. Yi Lei Fang strapped the sword and pouch around her waist.
The smiling Yi Lei Fang looked at Zhang Jing, expecting Zhang Jing to lead her out. Instead, Yi Lei Fang saw the female guard pull out a dagger from her sleeve and hand it to her. The woman's smile grew even wider when she saw her dagger, but Zhang Jing kept taking out another a dagger after another. Eventually, her smile slowly began to stiffen.
Yi Lei Fang tries to keep her smile from cracking with each dagger passing. While she was trying to maintain her grin, she felt like pulling her hair.
How many daggers did I carry? The woman was honestly stunned.
Her smiling face was already gone when it reached the fifteenth dagger. Finally, when all twenty-six daggers were given back to Yi Lei Fang, she did not have the patience to wait any longer. She wanted to hurry up and get out, plus she was also paranoid that another dagger might pop out from Zhang Jing.
Abruptly, Yi Lei Fang heard a whispering voice behind Zhang Jing.
"Psst! Hurry up, we got no time to waste!"
Yi Lei Fang looked behind Zhang Jing and spotted an opening that was cut by a sharp sword. Her eyes lit up when she saw Yi Xing-fu and Yi Cheng.
Both of the Yi brothers were holding each side of the opening. Yi Cheng had half of his body leaning inside the tent while Yi Xing-fu was keeping a lookout.
Yi Cheng gestured Yi Lei Fang and Zhang Jing to hurry up, "Meimei, quickly!"
Yi Lei Fang ran to the opening space followed by Zhang Jing. Once both of them got out from the tent, Yi Xing-fu lightly tapped the surface of the tent, forming a faint sound.
Li Wei heard the signal as his ears perked up. He dashed off to where the gang was waiting, ditching the two laughing soldiers. When he saw Yi Lei Fang, he jumped into her arms and rubbed his furry head against her cheeks. Yi Lei Fang smiled warmly at him.
Yi Xing-fu signals the group to move out. In a blink of an eye, the gang vanished and only traces of dust can be seen flying.
At last, Yi Lei Fang and the group came back to the Miao Village. The hunting competition was supposed to be three days. Instead, it becomes four days due to Yi Lei Fang kidnapping incident.
Yi Xing-fu, Yi Cheng, and all the three shadow guards trailed behind Yi Lei Fang as they pass by thousands of acres of rice paddy fields. Yi Lei Fang wore a victorious grin on her face while the two brothers felt like crying.
Their entrance to the Miao Village caused a big commotion. All the villagers and children crowded in front of Yi Lei Fang and the groups. The children ran to hug Yi Lei Fang when they see her bend down, opening her arms wide. Yi Lei Fang giggles as the children tackled her, "Aiya, you little rascals. Are you trying to kill this beautiful jiejie?"
One of the little girls spoke up, "Lei Lei jiejie, how many did you bring? Did you win?" Her eyes were glossy and shining with excitement. Her cheeks were chubby, and she had a cute milky voice that made Yi Lei Fang squeal before pinching her cheeks.
Yi Lei Fang stood up and gave the children an arrogant look. "Just see for yourself." She moves away from the villagers view and what they saw shocked them.
In front of them was a single file line of different animals that could feed the whole clan for two whole years! And not just that, the animals are still alive! They can breed the animals and won't have to worry about hunting for meat when the bad weather comes in.
Then footsteps were heard behind the crowds. Once the person reached the front and spotted the Yi siblings, a middle-aged man quickly bowed to them. "Greeting to Elder Young Master, Second Young Master, and Young Miss. Please follow me back to the Yifu."
A middle-age man from the Yi family named Jia Hua, the housekeeper of the Yifu. He was fidgeting and looking anxiously at the three siblings.
The three of the Yi siblings looked at each other. Yi Cheng nodded at Housekeeper Jia, "Let's go."
Yi Lei Fang gave the three shadow guards an order to take the animals to the back part of the Yifu and to escort Li Wei to her quarters before leaving with the two brothers and Jia Hua.
They arrived at the Yifu. The wide double doors from the receiving hall was pushed open. Yi Lei Fang put on her acting skills on once her feet touched the cold floor of the hall. "Fu qin, Mu qin, I'm back!"
Yi Lei Fang did not care about the other guests, especially Yi Mei who glared daggers at her. She ran to the master throne to hug the father. However, the person sitting on the master throne was not her father but someone else!
Yi Lei Fang did not stop in time and crashed onto a muscular and toned chest. Everyone inside the hall was shocked, and sweat were forming on their foreheads.
Yi Lei Fang's eyes bulged out and was having a hard time finding her voice, "Y-You, you again!"
Fu qin - father
Mu qin - mother
