After a moment of silence, the expressionless Ming Li took out another bag of silver and threw it to the system, then calmly drank her tea.
The system, looking at the money bag in its hand, rushed towards Ming Li with shining eyes, clinging to her leg, "Host! I love you!"
Ming Li, "......"
Night soon arrived, and the Ming Lis found a small inn in the town to stay.
Just as everyone fell asleep, a group of men in black suddenly appeared outside the small inn where Ming Li was staying.
They stealthily crept into the inn, and one of the men in black whispered, "We've confirmed it. The young girl the Prince mentioned is in the room on the far left of the second floor. Keep your movements quiet and don't alert anyone else!"
"Yes!"
Afterward, a group of men in black headed towards the room on the far left of the second floor.
"Creak—"
The door was gently pried open from the outside, and several figures swiftly flashed into the room. Looking at the sleeping little girl on the bed, the dark figures’ mouths twitched in unison, and they exchanged a strange glance. One of the men in black uncertainly asked, "This... are we sure this is the young girl the Prince is looking for?" She's so small... five years old? Six years old? I knew our Prince was perverted, but this is too perverted... to do something to such a young girl, that's truly heinous...
Another man in black frowned and said, "Judging by her appearance, it should be her."
Hearing this, the others looked at the little girl with fair skin on the bed with mixed emotions. After a moment of silence, one of the men in black brought his hand down sharply towards the back of the girl's head.
"Take her and go quickly."
......
"Host! This is bad! Bai Xue is gone!"
The next day, as dawn broke, Ming Li, who had just opened her eyes, suddenly heard the system's pig-like scream in her ears.
Ming Li, "......"
Seeing the system still screaming, Ming Li expressionlessly extended a hand and ruthlessly slapped the system away.
The system, sent flying, was bewildered. Who was it? Where was it? What had it just experienced?
"Bang—"
After a collision, the dazed system, like a puddle of mud, slowly slid down the wall and collapsed onto the ground.
"Sob sob sob! Host! Why did you suddenly hit me?"
The system, clutching the bump on its head, said aggrievedly.
Ming Li, "If you keep making noise, I'll get rid of you right now!"
The system, scared into silence, "......"
After a moment of silence, the system cautiously reminded, "Um... Host, your little follower... seems to be... gone..."
Ming Li, "......"
-------------------------------------
In a luxurious castle.
The little girl, tied up like a zongzi, was lying on the ground.
Suddenly, the little girl's eyelashes trembled, and the next second, she slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at the unfamiliar scene before her, the little girl's pupils contracted, and she tried to sit up in panic, only to find herself bound.
Just then, a somewhat familiar voice came from outside the door, "Is she in there?"
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince."
"Creak—"
The door was pushed open from the outside, and looking towards the sound, a portly middle-aged man with a scruffy face and a greasy smile rubbed his hands as he walked in.
Bai Xue, "......" What does this perverted uncle want?
The Prince met Bai Xue's gaze and was stunned, "Where did this little girl come from?"
