The old fox said that only Yun'er could know the secret of the map, but he couldn't possibly go looking for Yun'er himself. Finally, one day, by accident, he spilled tea onto the map. In a panic, he quickly picked it up to look, and to his surprise, he found that a map had indeed appeared on the previously blank parchment.
At that moment, he was extremely excited.
After so much hard work, he had finally found it.
Yun Shuyan looked at her destination, took a deep breath, and strode toward the central tent.
The Black Fang tribe was nomadic, living in tents on the grasslands year-round. Seeing a stranger approaching them, a skilled warrior stepped forward to stop her.
Yun Shuyan remained calm and unhurried as they pushed her into the king's tent.
In the mirror, Ma Lele looked at the face inside and felt like she was about to collapse.
She had been here for half a month already, but the problem was that she had no idea where she was. All there was around her was an endless expanse of grassland and a group of rough men, not to mention a bunch of self-important women.
What was even more terrifying was that this so-called king had taken a liking to her and wanted to marry her.
Oh my God.
For her, this was tantamount to asking for her life.
But the women guarding her said she couldn't escape at all because this place was surrounded by grasslands for hundreds of miles. The thought of wasting even one more second here made her increasingly anxious.
"The princess is truly beautiful!" The maid who had dressed her sincerely praised as she looked at the person in the mirror.
Ma Lele forced a smile. She was no longer the stunning Gu Yuniang of the past, but with her looks, she could still be considered a beauty. Moreover, she took great care of herself, never smoked, drank, or stayed up late, so her skin looked no different from that of a girl in her twenties.
Therefore, it wasn't surprising that the bearded king looked at her with interest.
"Don't call me princess; just call me Lele!" Ma Lele thought of the strange titles given to her and found it hard to get used to. Being an imperial consort and now a princess?
She didn't want that...
The maid smiled and didn't insist. "Lele, the king is waiting for you!"
Ma Lele nodded painfully and slowly stood up.
That man waited for her every day to have meals together, enjoy songs and dances, and even took her hunting. God knows how much she wanted to leave this place, yet she had to pretend to be very fond of that man!
She had heard from a maid that the king had once treated a girl very well, but one day that girl told him she didn't like him. In the end, that woman was cooked and eaten by the king!
It was easy to imagine how shocked Ma Lele was upon hearing this news; she never expected that man could be so ruthless!
Since then, she had been extremely cautious in front of him.
Fortunately, he hadn't done anything inappropriate towards her; he just insisted on seeing her every day. Otherwise, according to him, he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep!
In the main tent.
High sitting Black Fang looked at Yun Shuyan, who was bound in white clothes, and coldly asked, "Who are you to dare intrude on my territory?"
Yun Shuyan calmly replied with a smile, "I have always admired you greatly, so I came to pay you a visit!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Black Fang exploded in anger. "You little brat are not being honest at all! Just by looking at you, it's clear you're from the Central Plains. Most people from the Central Plains don't even know our tribe exists!"
"If the king permits, I would like to show you something!" Yun Shuyan took a deep breath, surprised by how bad-tempered this Black Fang was! Moreover, he had bad breath.
Being so close earlier and seeing him spit while speaking made Yun Shuyan feel nauseous.
Then he thought, being his woman would truly be unfortunate!
"What is it?" Black Fang squinted his eyes at the man in front of him, filled with suspicion.
Yun Shuyan glanced at the two people standing behind him, and Black Fang immediately signaled them with his eyes. Soon enough, they untied him!
Yun Shuyan took out a cloth bag belonging to Gu Changwei from his pocket and slowly presented it, which a maid took over to give to Black Fang.
Black Fang opened it suspiciously and was immediately stunned when he saw the badge passed down through generations. It was a jade pendant with a snake-shaped totem on one side and an eagle soaring on the other.
Inside, there was even a letter.
Black Fang immediately recalled the words entrusted to him by the previous Black Fang leader before his death. It turned out that a century ago, the Black Fang tribe had suffered a calamity but was saved by the hereditary Prince of Huainan. The people of the Black Fang tribe have always been grateful.
Later, he gifted this totem to Gu Yuniang's grandfather, signifying that with this totem, the Black Fang tribe was willing to do anything for the Gu Family.
Unexpectedly, one day this totem reappeared.
The Black Fang people value their promises above all else. As expected by Yun Shuyan, in the next moment, the Black Fang people became much more respectful. "Quick, bring a chair for this young master!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yun Shuyan replied with a gentle smile.
Outside the tent, Ma Lele suddenly stopped in her tracks.
That voice from inside sounded so familiar!
She could hardly believe it; how could he possibly be here?
Seeing the puzzled maid beside her looking at her in a daze, she took a deep breath, forced a smile, and lifted the curtain to walk in!
Sure enough, Ma Lele's guess was correct.
The handsome man inside was none other than Yun Shuyan. Ma Lele was overjoyed; there was hope, finally hope! But then she thought about her current appearance; to Yun Shuyan, she must seem like a complete stranger.
What could she possibly say?
As soon as she entered, Yun Shuyan noticed that the woman's gaze was fixed on her. She discreetly glanced over, observing the attire, which seemed to belong to a consort of Black Fang.
However, those eyes looked so familiar!
Yun Shuyan let out a bitter smile, thinking that if Yun'er knew about this, she would surely hate her for it!
"You've arrived!" Upon seeing Ma Lele, Black Fang was very excited and quickly stepped forward to kindly assist her to her seat. This was indeed a great honor!
Ma Lele smiled shyly and asked, "Who is this?"
Noticing her gaze on Yun Shuyan, Black Fang felt a twinge of jealousy. "She is a very esteemed guest of ours!"
Ma Lele nodded, an idea forming in her mind. Yun Shuyan's arrival undoubtedly presented an opportunity for her! She had to find a way to leave this place, escape from this cursed location, and get away from this damned man!
At that moment, something caught her attention.
Ma Lele suspiciously picked up the totem and asked, "What is this?"
"This is something passed down from our ancestors!" Black Fang said flatteringly.
An idea immediately jumped into her mind, as if countless fine needles were slowly penetrating her entire body. The pain was piercing! Ma Lele forced a gentle smile while her eyes were fixed on the man dressed in white like snow. "Did this gentleman bring it?"
