The man in black felt like a dumb fool. Right now he was following behind the strange woman, whose figure was swaying from one side to another. She was so weak and totally defenseless.
Why did I actually follow her?
Why!
I don't understand...
The man in black took a bite of the white steamed bread in his hand, beginning to doubt himself. He was indeed a bit hungry, then he happened to see... He swore that he really just happened to see the legendary imperial kitchen, so he thought, he should go into the kitchen to have a look... to see what kind of delicious food was stored in that room, so that he might feed himself before finishing his task.
He didn't expect that there was no delicious food, only white steamed bread.
"Okay, it's here." Ming Shu pointed to the palace, the wall of which she had just jumped.
The man in black quickly put on his mask and asked, "Why did you help me?"
"Isn't it good to have others' help?" What's wrong with this world? I can't even get a thank you for helping someone?
"I'm afraid you will sell me out." Just like the saying goes, if someone offers you help without gaining anything return, they're either planning something evil or concealing something bad!
Ming Shu chuckled. "Don't be so gloomy, young man, can't we hold a positive life attitude? Besides, how much are you worth?"
"..."
Listen to the last sentence... You told me to be positive?
"If you hesitate any longer, it will be dawn," Ming Shu kindly reminded him.
The man in black couldn't sense any signs of danger from Ming Shu, and he didn't even feel any hostility. Her whole personality seemed very soft, like a ball of warm cotton in tender light.
He was a little hesitant. There wouldn't be traps waiting for him inside?
Go in, or don't?
Fine, whatever!
He made up his mind and jumped over the palace wall.
Soon, the man in black came out with Princess Rong Hua on his shoulder. But when he found Ming Shu still standing in the same place, nibbling the white steamed bread, he was so shocked and frightened that he almost fell off the wall.
Although the white steamed bread of the imperial kitchen is more delicious than common ones, you don't have to keep eating, okay? How hungry are you?!
"Why are you still here?" The man in black kept his voice down.
"I want to ask you, why are you kidnapping Princess Rong Hua?" This man risked his life to come into the palace and kidnap the princess. If he didn't do it for fun, then there must be a big conspiracy behind it.
"I can't tell you." The man in black jumped down with Princess Rong Hua. "About what happened today, if you dare tell anyone else, I will kill you no matter where you are."
"Come on, kid, your IQ needs to be recharged." Ming Shu dusted off the bread crumbs on her hand and glared at the man in black. "If I tell anyone, what's the use in killing me?"
"It seems to be..." The man in black shook his head and firmly said, "Don't fool me."
This woman in front of him always wore a smile on her face, revealing harmlessness to any creature, which would easily lower others' defenses.
