Chapter 407 Flower Thief (1/2)

“Alas, finally we get to take a bath.”

The two instinctively sighed simultaneously and they smiled as they exchanged looks. Words were not needed to express their feelings at this moment.

Doing business was truly not a thing for the ladies. Not only was the journey rushed and tiring, but it was also very trying for the females because of their love for cleanliness.

However, the post stations along the journey only provided them with food and water. Baths were a luxury item.

The thought of not being able to take a bath for half a month was a nightmare to both Lin Mengya and Baishao.

Nevertheless, according to Master Guo, there were some women among the traveling businessmen.

Furthermore, women who could survive being in the trade were all of ruthless and relentless characters.

Lin Mengya could not agree more.

Unfortunately, she had to admit that she would not make a power woman like them

If she was able to safely obtain the medicine she had set out to find during this trip, she would never go on such a long journey again.

“Master, we have to continue traveling on the horse carriage for many more days. Later on, let’s go out to buy some delicious snacks for the rest of the journey.”

Baishao got out of the bath quickly but realized that her master had fallen asleep.

Lin Mengya was leaning against the side of the bathtub. Her face was all flushed and she looked somewhat exhausted.

Although they were traveling in a group and there were always the prince and the Imperial Physician Qiu who helped her with many things, her master’s health was after all still very weak.

Baishao retreated from the bathroom quietly. She thought that her master would not catch a cold if she was left to sleep for a while longer. After all, the water was still hot.

She supposed her master would be hungry when she woke up in a while. She’d better go to prepare some food, lest whatever food was offered here should not fit her master’s liking.

At the thought, Baishao exited Lin Mengya’s room and closed its door behind her.

At present, Lin Mengya had sunk into a deep sleep in the large bathtub.

Her watery eyes were tightly shut. She was quietly resting her side-turned head on her snow-white arm. All that was audible was the sound of her breathing.

All of a sudden, the closed window gradually opened from the outside.

Thereafter, a pair of hands wrapped in black gloves found its way onto the window sill.

A dark figure landed quickly on the floor.

This man had his face covered by a piece of black clothes, leaving only a pair of eyes visible.

A look of surprise appeared in his eyes when he spotted the girl in the bathtub, which subsequently turned to a look of embarrassment. However, after a moment of hesitation, the dark figure still moved towards the bathtub.

At this instant, Lin Mengya was still sleeping soundly and was not aware of the danger that awaited her.

The black moved swiftly like the wind and touched her vital point which kept her asleep, then he carried her out of the bathtub and wrapped a blanket around her body.

He carried her in his arms and was about to go back the way he came.

However, for some unknown reason, he stopped in his tracks.

Just as the dark figure carrying a sleeping Lin Mengya was about to leave, the scene which he witnessed just a moment ago seemed to come into his mind once again.

The dark figure pondered for a while and then put her down gently onto the bed. With trembling hands, he lifted the blanket from her.

Lin Mengya, now lying on the bed, gave a glimpse of her body.

At the sight of Lin Mengya’s snow-white back, the dark figure gasped.

Just when he was going to continue lifting the blanket, someone kicked the room door open with great force.

“Go die!”

It was Long Tianyu’s voice of rage and murderous tone.

The sword in Long Tianyu’s hand was taken out of its sheath, but the dark figure quickly dodged the attack.

As the dark figure moved away, Long Tianyu saw the exposed Lin Mengya on the bed.

Gnashing his teeth, Long Tianyu’s rage had shot up.

He would not have gone out if not for Baishao telling him that Lin Mengya wanted to take a rest. He had wanted to have a look around Square Town to explore the food the town had to offer.

He did not expect to hear the sound of windows opening coming from Lin Mengya’s room when he arrived at her door.

He thought she had woken up, yet he heard the sound of moving water.

In a while, Long Tianyu could tell something was amiss from what he was hearing. He kicked open the door and what came into sight made him fly into a rage.

How dared this lewd man to harbor evil thoughts on his woman.

Long Tianyu would be called a useless man if he did not kill this man there and then!

He wielded his sword charged towards the man but there was something strange about the man’s movements.

No matter how ferocious Long Tianyu’s move was, the man was always able to dodge and escape at the last moment when the sword was about to reach him.

“You won’t be able to kill me!”

The dark figure suddenly spoke, but his voice sounded like the cawing of a crow. It was unpleasant to the ears.

Long Tianyu did not respond but continued wielding the sword and charged towards the figure.

The dark figure, however, also did not appear to be relaxed.

Long Tianyu’s skill in martial arts far surpassed that of the man’s.

As the dark figure realized that he was no match for Long Tianyu, he seemed to become anxious. He used his weird movements to dodge Long Tianyu’s sword and fled out through the door.

Outside, many people were alarmed by the sound of fighting in the room.
