The woman’s eyes looked at Bai Xifeng like she was begging for Bai Xifeng to let her go first and listened to her explanation.
"I will let you talk but don’t shout, understand?" Bai Xifeng said.
The woman nodded several times. Then Bai Xifeng moved her hand from the woman’s mouth.
"Please help me!" That was what came out first from the woman.
"Huh?" Bai Xifeng could not understand.
Bai Xifeng already let the woman go and distanced herself from the woman.
"You are a traveller, am I right?" The woman asked.
"Yes. I did." Bai Xifeng nodded.
"I am going to be forced to marry someone that I don’t want." The woman cried over.
Her father sold her to the Xue Family as she was some kind of jewellery. She did not want to get married.
"I hear he is a good man. You might be happy if you get married to him." Bai Xifeng commented.
"What? Good man? I don’t care about that. I want to travel around the world. I don’t want to be stuck here without knowing about other places." The woman said.
Bai Xifeng looked at the woman. The woman was indeed a beauty. This woman had a strong personality.
"What is your name?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Hu Meifeng." The woman answered.
No wonder Hu Meifeng wanted to run away. Her name literally meant beautiful wind.
"What if he found out this before you managed to run away from this place?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"I will fight him until death." Hu Meifeng said.
"Good. You can wait until tomorrow." Bai Xifeng said. "So, how long are you going to stay here?"
"Well, can I stay here?" Hu Meifeng asked. "I told the keeper outside that you told me to come here and serve you?"
"You what?" Bai Xifeng was shocked. "Wait! The person outside must recognise you if you are a beautiful woman as the owner said."
"Well, this is not my face. I use a mask." Hu Meifeng said.
"Owh. It looks real." Bai Xifeng looked at the face.
"So, can you let me stay here?" Hu Meifeng said.
"Okay... But you can sleep on the floor. I will not give up my bed." Bai Xifeng quickly jumped onto the bed securing her place.
"Okay... Okay..." Hu Meifeng said. The beggar could not choose.
"Are you going to sleep?" Baishe suddenly asked Bai Xifeng a question.
"Huh? Yes. I am going to sleep. Why do you ask?" Bai Xifeng answered.
"So, you believe this woman?" Baishe asked.
This woman lacked senses. How could she go to sleep at a time like that? What if the woman decided to kill her?
Bai Xifeng grinned. "This is why you are here. You are going to protect me, right?"
Baishe was speechless. So, not because she trusted the woman, but because he was here to prevent the avoid danger from her. She was already thinking about that.
If the Mirror World was a human, he wanted to ask it why it chose such a lazy human as its master.
Hu Meifeng who sat on the floor could not sleep. She was excited for the next day. It was not for the wedding but for the journey that she would be going.
She really hoped that the maid did not realize her disappearance. Otherwise, it would be chaos. It would also ruin her plan.
