Chapter 729: Chapter 731: Out of the Tiger’s Den and Into the Wolf’s Lair

The woman hastily nodded her head, her eyes filled with a look of surprise and elation.

"If you are satisfied, continue to serve this prince well. I will regularly give you the antidote, otherwise once the time limit passes, your skin will start to peel off piece by piece, and you will be tortured to death by the pain." Zhou Jue held her chin and said.

The woman started to cry in fear, "Sixth prince, I promise to obey you, please spare me."

Zhou Jue slapped her across the face, her transformed face distorted into a weird curve from the impact. Watching from within the space, Bai Ruozhu covered her mouth in shock. Was that woman even human at all? What kind of insidious poison was this?

However, the woman’s face quickly recovered, not daring to cry out loud. She mumbled, "I will obey the prince, I will obey all your orders."

"Also, such a beautiful flower needs the nourishment of men, your desires will likely increase. The men in this small village will not be enough for you," Zhou Jue began to laugh sinisterly, "Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for you to go to bigger cities where there will be no shortage of men to satisfy you."

The woman flushed but quickly composed herself, displaying an enticing expression. She creeped up to Zhou Jue, similar to a slippery snake, gradually wrapping herself around him.

Bai Ruozhu kept her gaze focused on the woman, contemplating what kind of drug Zhou Jue used to bring about such drastic change, transforming a rural woman into a beauty. If it were in the modern world, plastic surgeons would have been out of business.

However, the drug obviously had severe side effects and needed to be taken periodically. Once hooked, there would be no escape for life. Alternatively, the woman’s lifespan might not last much longer as it is now

Zhou Jue was wrapped around by the woman, looking like he wanted to explode in anger but eventually held her and started to initiate intercourse. He just wouldn’t allow her to kiss him. It was as if her mouth was poisonous, or disgustingly revolting.

Bai Ruozhu turned off the big screen again, feeling that no one is as ruthless as Zhou Jue. She also remembered the woman’s appearance, who might later go to one of Zhou Jue’s operation points in Danliang country. Once she found the woman, she could dismantle one of his operation points.

She spent more time in the space, getting increasingly anxious. Although there was food and drink in the space, Jiang Yichun and Dengdeng were worrying about her outside. How was she supposed to inform them that she’s safe? If only she had a mobile phone to call and let them know, but such wishful thinking was equivalent to daydreaming in ancient times.

She waited patiently for half an hour before opening the big screen again. Zhou Jue was getting dressed, while that woman clinging onto him like a water snake. Zhou Jue chuckled, "When any man gets entangled by you, they will certainly be smitten. Make sure to use your physical charms well."

The woman had a seductive and enchanted expression on her face, "This humble servant would rather stay by the prince’s side, only yearning for you."

Zhou Jue snorted coldly, "Remember your place, obediently do as you’re told!"

Frightened, the woman slipped off him and did not dare to act out again.

Zhou Jue got dressed and was about to leave. As he was about to walk out the door, he abruptly stopped, muttering to himself, "Why can I still smell Bai Ruozhu’s scent? Could there be a secret chamber in this yard?"

Hearing this, the woman hurriedly said, "I swear, there have never been any secret chambers or tunnels in this house. I didn’t see the Bai Ruozhu either. I’m afraid she might have already escaped the village."

"Perhaps, it was because she slept in that bed," Zhou Jue murmured before he left.

Inside the space, Bai Ruozhu was chilled to the bone. Zhou Jue was also using poison just like her; did his nose become so sharp that he could smell her inside the space?

No, she definitely shouldn’t enter the space near him in the future to avoid revealing any loopholes.

The woman stepped down from the bed, casually donned an article of clothing, and walked outside. As she passed a man lying on the ground, his genitals mutilated, she disdainfully kicked him, grumbling something about him being useless.

Looking at the outside light, Bai Ruozhu changed into a coarse blouse in the space, and then simply disguised herself as a dark-skinned village woman.

When it got darker outside, she carefully left the space and scaled the wall of the backyard to escape. She walked in a halt and cautious manner, slowly leaving the village.

Luckily, she had started practicing her inner strength and lightness skills recently. Even though she had not become a female knight, scaling the wall of a rural house was not a problem. Otherwise, her escape wouldn’t have been so smooth.

The most urgent matter was how to get in contact with Jiang Yichun as soon as possible. Communication was inconvenient in ancient times. After giving it some thought, the only option was to go to the nearest Commerce Association and pass on a message to Jiang Yichun through them. Unfortunately, there were no Commerce Associations in the small village and she was too afraid to ask anyone. The only choice she had was to keep going down the main road. She thought as long as she reached a town, she could find a Commerce Association.

Luckily, she chose the right way. After walking for most of the night, she finally saw the city gate of Guqiu City. However, it was still dark and the city gate was tightly closed.

She carefully recalled the map that she had seen with Jiang Yichun. Guqiu City did not seem to be too far from Jiangzhou City where they boarded the ship. She found a secluded place and entered the space where she took the opportunity to get some rest.

As the city gate opened and there was an increase in the inflow and outflow of people, Bai Ruozhu carefully picked up a bamboo basket from the space and disguised herself as a village woman, entering the city to sell her wares.

She reached the Commerce Association building after wandering around cautiously.

"I want to meet the person in charge here. I have urgent business with him," she told the manager, showing off the token given by Elder Lin.

The manager was visibly surprised upon seeing it, "A messenger from the elder? I’ll fetch the head manager immediately, please wait in the backyard for a while."

Bai Ruozhu followed him to the backyard. A servant came up to pour tea. By the time she finished a cup of tea, a middle-aged, chubby man hurriedly walked in.

"Who might you be, madam? How did you get the elder’s token?" The manager asked cautiously as soon as he met her.

Bai Ruozhu took out the token again to show him and then wiped the makeup off her face, whispering, "I am Bai Ruozhu, a new disciple of Elder Lin."

She could tell he was suspicious of her identity. If she did not reveal that she was Elder Lin’s disciple, she feared they might think she found the token and would thus refuse to help her. On the day she was accepted as a disciple, some of the seniors from the Commerce Association were present, and therefore, all the different branches in the Northwest should know that Elder Lin had accepted a female disciple named Bai Ruozhu.

The man’s eyes darted back and forth, quickly turning into a smile, "So it’s Miss Bai, we apologize for any misunderstanding. What can we assist you with?"

"I was ambushed on the official ship to the capital and had to flee, but I lost contact with the others on the boat. I need your help to contact the nearby official ship, pass on a message to the Third Prince, or to my dark guard Jianqi, and ask them to pick me up as soon as possible," Bai Ruozhu said.

"Alright, I will handle this immediately," the man said before quickly leaving. As he turned around, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Bai Ruozhu saw this, her heart felt a tremor. Had she remedied one crisis only to step into another?
