Chapter 306: Chapter 306

Once, she even straight-up fell into Tang Zan’s arms, but Tang Zan took a step forward to evade.

As a result, she fell into the arms of the soldier behind Tang Zan.

Pei Shu’er’s face looked somewhat unpleasant, with a hint of jealousy.

This happened in places she could see, but in places she couldn’t, how exactly was Lin Shiyao seducing Tang Zan?

Thinking of this made her even more uncomfortable.

She really disliked it when someone coveted what was hers, it made her feel extremely uneasy.

Perhaps sensing Pei Shu’er’s displeasure, Lin Shiyao came to find Pei Shu’er that very night.

She cried pitifully to Pei Shu’er.

"Sister, I didn’t mean it. I’m just afraid of being left behind by you all. I never intended to cause trouble; I always remember the life-saving grace you have shown me."

She held Pei Shu’er’s hand, acting so intimately.

Pei Shu’er smiled gently, patting Lin Shiyao’s hand.

"Go back and rest assured, but in the future, don’t do this again. Otherwise, we won’t be able to continue as sisters."

They exchanged pleasantries for a while, making Lin Shiyao feel warm inside, then Pei Shu’er had a soldier escort her back.

Tang Zan embraced Pei Shu’er.

"I’ve noticed that you’re not such a good person either."

Pei Shu’er remained silent, and Tang Zan bit her ear.

Pei Shu’er raised an eyebrow, was this the legendary double standard?

Pei Shu’er refrained from offending the female protagonist for a reason.

First, the protagonist is the holder of great fortune in a book.

Anyone who offends her comes to a bad end.

Therefore, unless it’s absolutely necessary, Pei Shu’er doesn’t want to be enemies with the protagonist.

Second, while leaving Dazi territory, Pei Shu’er hoped to rely on the protagonist’s fortune.

Just as she had always acted, she was very rational, knowing her own chips and how to utilize them well.

Fortunately, Lin Shiyao was sensible too. She said she wouldn’t misbehave again and mostly stayed in her room, hardly coming out.

Even for meals, she had them delivered to her room and returned the dishes to the kitchen afterward.

During their journey, they didn’t encounter any incidents and arrived near the coal mountain.

Once there, Tang Zan had people watch over Lin Shiyao, preventing her from leaving, so she didn’t know where they were.

Then he led others to mine coal.

They went covertly, digging a hole from another place to start mining coal.

Pei Shu’er also opened a hole from another place alone, but no one knew.

Unlike others, Pei Shu’er didn’t mine coal; she just placed her palm on the coal, wishing for the coal to enter the space.

Then, the coal was cut into a neat rectangular block by her Space Power, roughly four cubic meters in size.

This discovery was made when she bought supplies in a previous life, whenever she had a thought, wanting a specific part of a large object, she could absorb just that part, leaving the rest intact.

Pei Shu’er continued in the same manner.

Her coal mining efficiency was surprisingly faster than others.

On her side, the coal was quickly mined out, and she had about five tons of coal in her space.

She found another hill nearby, using Space Power to dig a hole accessible to her, put her hand on the coal, and the space soon absorbed it.

She selectively absorbed quality coal into her space.

Until the coal on this hill was all gone, Pei Shu’er’s eyes sparkled; now she had a total of twenty tons of coal in her space, while Tang Zan had mined five tons.

But while mining coal, Tang Zan suddenly noticed Pei Shu’er was missing.

Concerned, he hurriedly came out to search, till his eyes turned red, only to see Pei Shu’er wandering back.

"Where did you go?" His eyes had red bloodshot marks, holding Pei Shu’er’s hand with an unintentional tremble.

She had some sweat on her forehead and was holding a bunch of herbs.

"I went looking for herbs, I found many herbs here that aren’t found in Dayan, and their effects are remarkable."

Tang Zan’s large hand enveloped Pei Shu’er’s.

"Don’t leave without my permission."

Pei Shu’er smiled and said, "Just staying here is boring for me."

After saying this, Pei Shu’er continued, "I discovered some coal on the nearby hills too."

Tang Zan said, "Once we’ve mined half of this mountain’s coal, we’ll go mine others."

It couldn’t be too obvious, or they’d risk being discovered.

Actually, the ships wouldn’t be able to carry much coal, probably two tons per ship was already the limit; more than that would be unmanageable for the wooden ships.

So, ten ships could carry about twenty tons.

Twenty tons of coal is enough for two thousand soldiers for one winter, with some left over.

After mining the mountain, they found the coal amounted to exactly five tons.

Then, they immediately proceeded to mine other hills.

However, the commotion was still too big, causing some Dazi villagers to come and investigate.

First came some sturdy ones, who upon seeing the Dayan people, immediately went back to fetch weapons to deal with them.

In the hearts of those Dazi, they looked down on Dayan people, thinking they were mere weaklings.

Before these people could return, Xuan Liu and his team tied up those Dazi.

But the activity didn’t cease, and if those people couldn’t find anyone, the situation would be particularly bad.

Realizing this, Pei Shu’er headed off with a reliable person to the Dazi village to inform the villagers, claiming there was nothing amiss here.

That Dazi was naturally unwilling, only agreeing after being fed poison by Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er immediately disguised herself as a Dazi woman, following him along with a soldier who understood Dazi language.

The soldier listened to the Dazi babbling away.

"The top has a few rocks falling, causing unrest in the mountain, so avoid going up the mountain for now."

Finally, he nodded towards Pei Shu’er, signaling that the person was trustworthy.

Pei Shu’er scanned the village, noticing the houses were mostly tents, the village was very backward, and surprisingly resilient to cold.

Unexpectedly, the Dazi suddenly lunged at Pei Shu’er in a secluded corner.

He knew the woman was the weakest; if he could capture her and get the antidote, he could cure himself and maybe save the villagers in the mountains. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁

But Pei Shu’er didn’t let him have his way, instead delivering a hard punch, and as he was about to scream, she immediately stuffed his mouth with a wad of grass.

The Dazi widened his eyes incredulously at the frail-looking girl.

How could she possess such strength, clearly without a trace of muscle on her?

He was a Dazi; dealing with Dayan people was like dealing with chicks.

Unexpectedly, he was knocked down by a single punch from a girl!
