After they arrived near the small town called Zhi Jijia, An Ruo Ran fired a signal flare into the sky.
After a while, a local leader from the Tiger Legion appeared before them.
As soon as the person approached, he immediately knelt in front of Luo Bingbing and said, "Subordinate Fu Rui pays respects to the master, greetings to the head."
After giving a slight nod, Luo Bingbing said, "Alright, get up!"
Upon seeing him, Luo Bingbing recognized that this person was one she had personally trained. Hearing him refer to An Ruo Ran as the head, Little One couldn't help but think to herself, "It seems Aunt Ran is getting along well with them!"
Then, Fu Rui led Luo Bingbing and the others to a villa he had specially built for them in Zhi Jijia.
Once they arrived at the villa, everyone went to bathe and change clothes to wash off the dirt.
After everyone had bathed, night quietly fell. At this time, Fu Rui came to invite them for dinner.
Outside the palace, Luo Bingbing did not pay much attention to formality and dined together with them. Naturally, she also shared the meal with Fu Rui.
During dinner, Fu Rui mentioned that a month later would be the triennial Martial Arts Conference.
Hearing about the legendary Martial Arts Conference piqued Luo Bingbing's interest, prompting her to ask Fu Rui for more details.
It turned out that this year's Martial Arts Conference would be held at the residence of the previous Martial Alliance Leader. Coincidentally, his home was located on a mountain sixty kilometers away from Zhi Jijia.
However, that area was within the territory of the Golden Sun Kingdom. This meant that if Luo Bingbing wanted to attend the Martial Arts Conference, she would have to go to the Golden Sun Kingdom.
Borders meant nothing to her; she simply did not care.
But this time she sneaked out of the palace, and she didn't want to return so quickly. Moreover, she had no interest in that so-called position of the martial arts alliance leader. Therefore, she was just going out to have fun and watch.
She didn't go under the pretense of representing any faction; instead, she went very low-key with Shadowless, An Ruo Ran, and Mink to attend the martial arts conference.
Since they had plenty of time, Luo Bingbing and the others stayed at the villa for a few days. After Fu Rui prepared a luxurious carriage for them, they finally left the villa and leisurely headed towards the Golden Sun Kingdom to see the martial arts conference.
One noon, their carriage happened to pass through a mountain path when suddenly many Mountain Bandits jumped out from the forest.
The road was blocked, and Shadowless naturally stopped the horses.
Feeling the sudden halt of the carriage, Mink curiously asked, "Brother Shadowless, why did you stop?"
"Mink, the Mountain Bandits have blocked our way."
Though their voices were low, Little One, who was resting with her eyes closed, heard them clearly.
She suddenly opened her eyes and instructed Shadowless, "Ying, entertain them well."
Shadowless immediately replied, "Yes, Master."
At that moment, a Bandit Leader stood in the middle of the road and loudly declared, "This mountain is mine; this tree is mine. If you want to pass through here, leave behind some toll."
After hearing his words, Shadowless coldly smiled and said, "Oh really? We have plenty of tolls; I just wonder if you can carry them."
Upon hearing this, the Bandit Leader burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Brothers, we’ve caught a fat sheep today. What do you think? Can we handle it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other Mountain Bandits erupted in laughter, saying, "Hahaha... we can take as much as we want. We always think there's not enough, never too much."
Although the Mountain Bandits were laughing heartily, Shadowless noticed that the one standing behind the Bandit Leader was merely sneering, seemingly mocking his comrades.
This made Shadowless slightly suspicious, so he discreetly kept an eye on that person.
"Master, how do you want to play this?"
As soon as he spoke, Luo Bingbing had Mink step forward. However, Mink was holding half of the Gold and Silver Jewelry they had brought with them.
But those Gold and Silver Jewelry had been tampered with by Luo Bingbing; they were sprinkled with Itchy Powder, Laughing Powder, and Color Changing Powder.
After Mink walked out, she deliberately opened the flower cloth wrapping the Gold and Silver Jewelry so that all the Mountain Bandits could see what was inside.
"Brother Shadow, the master wants us to give these Gold and Silver Jewelry to them."
Upon hearing her words, Shadowless couldn't help but feel puzzled and thought to himself, "Why would the master give her own Gold and Silver Jewelry to them?"
The person standing behind the Bandit Leader was also quite confused and secretly speculated about who Luo Bingbing and her companions really were.
Because if someone were afraid of the Mountain Bandits, they would never say "give"; they would only bow and plead. And if they weren't ordinary people, they wouldn't hand over their Gold and Silver Jewelry to the Mountain Bandits at all.
Yet this group not only took the initiative to offer their own Gold and Silver Jewelry to the Mountain Bandits but also referred to it as a "gift."
Soon after, Shadowless and Mink divided the Gold and Silver Jewelry into two portions. They each stood at the front and back of the cart, simultaneously scattering the Gold and Silver Jewelry on the ground.
The Mountain Bandits' eyes widened at the sight of the Gold and Silver Jewelry. As soon as they saw there was jewelry to pick up, they all jumped out from the trees to collect it.
You fight and snatch, with some even starting to brawl.
However, if any Mountain Bandit gets within a meter of Luo Bingbing's carriage, Shadowless and Mink will swiftly send her to the afterlife with a single strike.
Although those Mountain Bandits saw this, they paid no attention. They believed that seizing the Gold and Silver Jewelry was the most important thing at that moment.
But after a while, some of the Mountain Bandits who had grabbed the Gold and Silver Jewelry began to laugh uncontrollably for no reason; others complained about an unbearable itch while scratching themselves; and still others started to see their clothes, hair, and skin change colors.
The laughing and scratching Mountain Bandits did not seem shocking to everyone, but those whose colors were changing were met with horrified screams from the crowd: "Monsters! Monsters are here!"
As they shouted, they quickly fled into the forest.
However, just as they were about to enter the woods, they were suddenly kicked back by An Ruo Ran, who flew out from inside the carriage.
Instantly, those Mountain Bandits fell to the ground, wailing in despair.
At that moment, seeing An Ruo Ran's green devilish eyes only confirmed their belief that demons and monsters had arrived.
The Mountain Bandits covered in Color Changing Powder watched in terror as their clothes, hair, and hands kept changing colors. They feared they had been possessed by a monster.
They frantically tore at their clothes and hair while screaming in panic, causing the scene to become even more chaotic.
The Mountain Bandits were already in disarray, but the person who had been standing behind the Bandit Leader had quietly retreated to a nearby large tree.
He did not go to pick up any Gold and Silver Jewelry, nor did he approach Luo Bingbing. He had originally come to deal with these Mountain Bandits, so he would not leave; he simply stood quietly on that branch watching the spectacle unfold.
Meanwhile, Shadowless kept him firmly in sight, quietly observing his every move.
When he saw An Ruo Ran with the green devil's eye, he was indeed taken aback. However, he only expressed his surprise inwardly and did not make a sound.
His martial arts skills were not low in the martial world.
Thus, upon observing the actions of Shadowless, Mink, and the subsequently appearing An Ruo Ran, he realized that the martial arts cultivation of the three was quite high, seemingly comparable to that of the Sect Leader of the Seven Great Sects.
At the same time, he was aware that there was another person inside the carriage.
Having just heard Mink refer to the person inside the carriage as "master," he became very interested in that individual.
Seeing how skilled the three subordinates outside were, he couldn't help but wonder how high the martial arts skills of the person inside the carriage might be.
As he speculated about Luo Bingbing's identity, he mentally went through all the figures in the martial world he knew but could not find anyone who had a subordinate with a green devil's eye.
Unable to find an answer, he had no choice but to quietly stand on the branch and observe Luo Bingbing's carriage.
An Ruo Ran and Mink naturally noticed this unusual Mountain Bandit and kept a discreet watch on him.
"It's so noisy!"
When a clear and pleasant voice of a young girl came from inside the carriage, those Mountain Bandits miraculously stopped their wailing. Even those who were still laughing heartily turned their attention to the carriage.
Luo Bingbing did not disappoint everyone and continued, "Give them the 'Regretless Pill.'"
As soon as she finished speaking, An Ruo Ran immediately responded, "Yes, master."
Then, An Ruo Ran pointed at the pill in her hand and said to those Mountain Bandits, "This is the antidote given to you by my master."
After speaking, An Ruo Ran threw the pills towards the group of Mountain Bandits.
Immediately, the Mountain Bandits rushed to grab the red pills, creating chaos as they scrambled for them.
Inside the carriage, Luo Bingbing frowned slightly and said calmly, "It's so noisy." Although her voice was not loud, everyone heard her clearly.
Upon hearing this, An Ruo Ran quickly addressed the Mountain Bandits, saying, "My master is kind-hearted and has promised to reward you with the antidote. Each of you will definitely get a share. Don't fight over it; I still have some left. Those who haven't received the antidote can come to me for it, but each person can only take one pill. Taking more will actually lead to poisoning."
Hearing this, the Mountain Bandits who had grabbed several red pills hurriedly handed them over to their companions nearby.
The number of red pills was determined by the number of Mountain Bandits, so when the last red pill was taken by a Mountain Bandit, An Ruo Ran knew that all the Mountain Bandits had received their pills.
At that moment, An Ruo Ran told them, "You should hurry and take the antidote. If you don't take it within five minutes, you will die suddenly."
Upon hearing this, the Mountain Bandits quickly swallowed their red pills, but some of the more cautious ones held onto their pills and quietly watched An Ruo Ran and her companions.
As time passed, their internal struggle intensified, and gradually, some began to take the red pills.
When five minutes were almost up, Shadowless quietly shot a poisoned needle at a Mountain Bandit who had not taken a red pill; he collapsed instantly.
No one saw this happen, not even the Imposter Bandit who had been standing in the tree.
The nearby Mountain Bandits crouched down to check on their fallen companion's breath and discovered that the Mountain Bandit who hadn't taken a red pill was already dead.
Suddenly, they screamed out, "Three Scars is really dead!"
Hearing this, those who had not yet taken their red pills quickly put them into their mouths and swallowed them rapidly.
At this moment, as the spokesperson, An Ruo Ran addressed the Mountain Bandits, saying, "What you just consumed is the Regretless Pill bestowed upon you by my master. After taking this Regretless Pill, the poison currently affecting you will be cured in three days."
Upon hearing this, the Mountain Bandits felt a surge of joy in their hearts.
However, before their smiles could fully blossom, An Ruo Ran continued, "However, if after three days you do not disband, do good deeds, or enlist in the army, then one month later, you will also die suddenly. Moreover, if you commit another wrongdoing, not only will the current poison relapse, but you will also die unexpectedly."
Although these words sounded somewhat ominous, the Mountain Bandits were ordinary people who had already been frightened out of their wits and believed her words without question.
"Disperse!"
As soon as An Ruo Ran finished speaking, the Mountain Bandits hurriedly left.
At this time, Shadowless and the others quickly returned to the carriage. Seeing that An Ruo Ran and Mink had already entered, they asked Little One inside, "Master, can we leave now?"
