However, the remaining people could still work on improving their friendly relationships.

The aroma of the oil-brushed roast meat was very enticing, and it wasn’t even fully cooked yet. The sizzling sound was already making everyone’s mouth water.

The tiger meat was very tender, it didn’t take too long to cook.

This time, Lin Ziyin was not stingy, she almost shared some with everyone before she started eating the leftovers.

Hehe, being able to enjoy such a delicious meal even in ancient times, this trip may not be a complete loss after all, Lin Ziyin comforted herself with a bitter smile.

Bayan and the others accepted the roast meat and their gaze towards Lin Ziyin softened significantly.

After Lin Ziyin had eaten and drunk enough, she simply went straight to sleep.

Tana stared at her sneakily, thinking that she was as shameless as a pig. She could sleep anywhere without care for her surroundings.

Lin Ziyin closed her eyes, however, her mind was busy calculating what she needed to do to save herself if she encountered any danger in the North Country?

After pondering over it again and again, she seemed somewhat despondent. She realized that if she did not have Chu Suifeng’s people welcoming her in the North Country, she would be at other people’s mercy.

And clearly, Bayan and his group wanted to bring her into the capital city of the North Country, which was heavily fortified and dominated by the people of the North Country. Even if Chu Suifeng wanted to save her, it would come at a great cost.

This was certainly a consequence Lin Ziyin did not want to see.

"We’re getting close to the border, everyone be alert. We will only truly be safe when our people meet up with us." Only when Lin Ziyin’s breathing steadied, Bayan whispered a reminder to everyone around him, "Tana, don’t forget your master’s admonition."

"Yes," Tana replied grudgingly.

At dawn the next day, everyone ate the leftover roast tiger meat. Lin Ziyin saw that Bayan had packed up the tiger skin. She ate a bit reluctantly as her breakfast.

Even though the food tasted good, eating the same thing constantly, and eating meat for breakfast, even if she was a carnivore, didn’t appeal to her anymore.

Bayan noticed her lack of appetite and glanced at her. Rather than urging her to eat more, he had his men roast a flatbread for her, which even included some pickled vegetables.

Lin Ziyin thanked him and continued to eat. In such terrible weather, it was important to conserve energy.

Regretfully, her behaviour was seen as a new shortcoming by Tana.

Leaving the warm cave, Lin Ziyin shivered and then resignedly climbed onto a horse’s back.

The group began their difficult journey again.

By midday, Tana pointed to the top of a mountain with excitement, "Look, our Witch God Mountain."

Lin Ziyin guessed that they must be near the territory of North Country.

"Everyone, let’s speed up. We’ll be at Dijia Garden soon," a man jovially said.

"It’s an ambush." Lin Ziyin suddenly spoke up; dropping from her horse and pulling Tana behind a large rock.

Bayan and the others also reacted quickly, as her voice fell, each found a place to hide.

"Are you crazy?" Taken by surprise, Tana was pulled down by Lin Ziyin and fell to the ground. Worsening things, she was careful not exert too much force in fear of hurting Lin Ziyin.

"Shut up." Bayan ordered coldly. He felt somewhat relieved that he had given Lin Ziyin the antidote this morning, allowing her to recover her voice.

At that moment, a flurry of arrows rained down from the mountain as predicted. One of their horses fell while the others fled in fear.
