He remarked, “Miss Ye, I believe they are from the Empire. Please forgive my insistence.”
The crisis was perfectly resolved thanks to Ye Tianxin’s fast thinking.
Everyone smoothly made it through the entry gate.
Tang Song stared at Ye Tianxin as she stood on the other side of the pass. His jaw dropped, but he didn’t even know what to say. He tried to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes as he uttered, “Tianxin, come back soon. I promise to finish the task that you’ve given me.”
Huayi and a dozen other women were already in tears.
Ye Tianxin smiled. She waved her hand casually and said, “Just go already!”
Nobody budged.
The person in charge asked, “Miss Ye, aren’t you leaving?”
Ye Tianxin said, “Sir, thank you for your help. I have other things to tend to, so I won’t go for now. Goodbye.”
Ye Tianxin left! She went to the site where the bandits stayed.
“You are a woman of your word. Let’s go, Miss Ye.”
Ye Tianxin had no choice but to step into the Desert Eagle’s SUV.
The Desert Eagle and his people had settled in an oasis in the desert. The building appeared extremely coarse.
Ye Tianxin was invited inside a room after she got out of the SUV.
The tidy room was populated with all sorts of precious-looking decorations: gigantic ivory, golden jewelry inlaid with assorted jewels, the enormous diamond ore, opals, emeralds, jades, and rubies…
“Miss Ye, you have worked very hard. The maids will wait on you to wash up later.”
Ye Tianxin nodded gently as she glanced towards the man.
Since she was already here, she might as well make herself comfortable.
She sat down casually and examined the room. Soon a maid approached her and served her a cup of sweet, mellow milk tea.
The milk tea had a strong creamy flavor and a mellow taste.
For some reason, Ye Tianxin felt quite hungry.
“Miss Ye, please wash up first.”
Two women entered the room with a wooden barrel for bathing.
They gently placed the barrel on the floor.
Then they carried another bucket of steaming white milk and poured it into the wooden barrel. They proceeded to sprinkle some rose petals inside.
The sweet, faint aroma of roses slowly diffused through the air.
The two silent maids then knelt in front of Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin stood up. She was a bit worried these people had placed a hidden camera inside the room.
After carefully inspecting the furniture and small decorations, she stood behind the screen.
“Leave the room.”
Ye Tianxin was not used to taking her clothes off in front of strangers, even if they were women.
The maids didn’t understand what Ye Tianxin said, but they could all tell what Ye Tianxin meant. They bowed as they backed outside the room and knelt on the sand outside the door. The maids patiently waited for Ye Tianxin to summon them back inside.
Ye Tianxin shut the door. Once again, she carefully checked the roof, the floor, and the decorations. Then she took off her clothes and took a bath after ensuring there were no cameras.
Ye Tianxin felt a drowsy sense of satisfaction the second her body was submerged in the steaming water.
Every fiber of her being screamed how much it craved sleep.
I want to rest.
I want to sleep.
I want to rest.
However, Ye Tianxin was certain that she could not fall asleep here. She didn’t know if she would end up kidnapped or sold on the black market.
Ye Tianxin’s skin tone was naturally fair. However, Ye Tianxin noticed her skin had turned much coarser than before since she was running back and forth in the desert lately. She didn’t manage to achieve adequate sun protection under such circumstances.
