Chapter 175 Shanzi Saves the Beauty II

Xiao Die took the woman's hand and cried out, "Miss, Miss, it's me, Xiao Die! Don't scare Xiao Die! Please answer Xiao Die!"

Seeing the woman's dazed expression, Shanzi knew she must have been extremely frightened.

"Young lady, do you have any silver needles here?"

Xiaodie: "Yes, yes, yes, it's in the closet where the clothes are kept."

Upon hearing Xiaodie's words, Shanzi went over to look for it, took a silver needle, and came to the woman's side. He then used his internal energy cultivation technique to make the silver needle hotter.

Then he quickly inserted it into the woman's philtrum, and the woman felt a sudden pain in her body and cried out.

The moment the woman cried out, Shanzi swiftly pulled out the silver needle.

Seeing the opportunity, Shanzi quickly pulled out the silver needle.

Xiaodie hugged her mistress and carried her on her back.

Xiaodie hugged the woman tightly, tears streaming down her face, but her voice was firm as she comforted her, "Miss, Miss, Xiaodie is here. We're alright now."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we're safe now. You must cheer up, miss."

With Xiaodie's comfort and Shanzi's efforts, the woman's eyes gradually regained their sparkle.

She looked at Shanzi and Xiaodie beside her, as if she had finally woken up from that terrifying nightmare.

She opened her mouth slightly, her voice trembling as she said, "Where...where are we?"

"Miss, you're finally awake!"

Xiaodie was so moved that tears streamed down her face, and she hugged the woman tightly, refusing to let go.

Shanzi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Miss, this is your boudoir."

My name is Shanzi. I happened to be passing by when I heard you shouting, so I rushed in to check on you. You are safe now, so don't worry.”

Xiaodie hugged the weeping woman tightly and comforted her, "Miss, don't be afraid, it was this young master who saved us."

See, we're all fine now, everything's alright.

She gently patted the woman's back, trying to ease her grief.

Hearing Xiaodie's words, the woman continued to cry, tears still streaming down her face.

As she recalled her terrifying experience, her heart was filled with fear and despair.

"Xiaodie, Xiaodie. I've lost my innocence. Waaah..."

She broke down in tears again as she spoke, her voice filled with helplessness and despair.

Seeing this, Shanzi felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He walked to the woman's side and gently comforted her, "Girl, please don't think like that. That man didn't succeed, and you are still innocent."

The most important thing right now is that you and Xiaodie are both safe and sound. That's the most important thing.

Xiaodie quickly chimed in, "Yes, Miss. Young Master Shanzi is right, we're all alright now."

Moreover, Young Master Shanzi just risked his life to save us; we should cherish this hard-won peace even more.

The woman did nothing but cry on Xiaodie's body.

Shanzi looked around and suddenly noticed an old man lying weakly on the ground in the corner, but he was still conscious.

He quickly stepped forward and carefully helped the old man up.

"Grandpa, how are you feeling? Can you stand up?"

The old man was panting heavily, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Young man, thank you so much... thank you for saving our young lady."

Even if I were to die now, I could die in peace.

Shanzi quickly interrupted, "Oh dear, old man, please don't say that."

See? I've already rescued you all.

You should live your lives even more, because there are better days ahead for you.

Let's not talk about these discouraging things; we have a long road ahead.

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes welled up with tears, and he choked out, "Thank you so much, young man."

Shanzi smiled and helped the old man to a chair to sit down.

Then I gently patted his back to ease his discomfort.

He then took out a pill from the bag, poured out a blood-clotting pill, and handed it to the old man.

"Grandpa, please take this medicine first; it will be good for your injury."

The old man accepted the medicine and nodded gratefully.

His complexion gradually improved after taking the medicine.

Shanzi asked with concern, "Old man, our King Ling has already sent troops to provide support."

The people of Nanshan Town are currently being protected; you can rest assured.

Upon hearing Shanzi's words, the old man said with deep gratitude, "Thank you, young man, and thank you for King Ling's help. May I ask your name, young man?"

Shanzi humbly replied, "Old man, my name is Su Ziyi, you can just call me Shanzi."

The old man nodded and praised, "Su Ziyi, what a good name. Zi means a benevolent and virtuous person; Yi means to value loyalty and righteousness."

This young man must be a person of high moral character.

Shanzi scratched his head sheepishly.

"You flatter me, sir. May I ask your honorable name, and whose residence is this?"

When I came in, I saw the floor covered with people, and after checking, I found that no one had survived.

Upon hearing this, the old man sighed, his eyes filled with anger and sorrow.

"Sigh... these wretched Qin soldiers. Young man, this is the Cai family in Nanshan Town."

With a choked voice, the elderly Cai Wen slowly recounted the tragic fate of the Cai family.

"My name is Cai Wen, and I am a third-generation servant of the Cai family."

Now the Cai family has suffered such a devastating calamity, leaving only the old man, the young lady, and the maid Xiaodie barely clinging to life. *cough cough*

At this point, Cai Wen couldn't help but cough, his eyes filled with despair and sorrow.

Upon hearing this, Shanzi felt a surge of strong sympathy.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I, Shanzi, will do my best to help you through this difficult time."

With trembling hands, the old man Cai Wen tightly grasped Shanzi's hand, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Young man, thank you so much."

The Cai family is in such a state now, and we have nothing to repay you with.

"I only hope you can protect my young lady and ensure her safe passage through this ordeal. She is now the only remaining member of the Cai family."

When Shanzi heard the old man Cai Wen ask him to protect Miss Cai, he suddenly froze.

He was momentarily at a loss, thinking to himself: "No, I'm just doing my best to save you from disaster."

Why do you expect me to take care of your young lady? Aren't you all still here? Can't you take care of her yourselves?

Shanzi looked at the old man Cai Wen with some difficulty, as he himself still had many things to do.

There are still so many Qin soldiers attacking Nanshan Town outside, and he needs to go and provide support. How can he take care of this young lady from the Cai family?

Old man Cai Wen seemed to sense Shanzi's hesitation, and a pleading look flashed in his eyes.

"Young man, Shanzi. I beg you, please take good care of my young lady."

The three of us are all defenseless; if another Qin soldier were to arrive, all your efforts to rescue us today would be in vain.

When Shanzi heard Cai Wen say this, he was conflicted.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the boudoir, followed by two Qin soldiers bursting in.

They had originally come to report to their squad leader what was happening outside.

Unexpectedly, they discovered four people in the boudoir, and when they saw their squad leader lying on the ground...

Upon seeing this, the two of them immediately drew their knives and rushed towards Shanzi.

Shanzi's eyes sharpened, and he instantly sprang up, using his lightness skill to rush towards the two.

He moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of the two in the blink of an eye.

Shanzi showed no mercy, kicking each of them once, sending them flying backwards in an instant.

The two were still tumbling in mid-air before they landed when Shanzi rushed over again, waving his hands and striking out with both palms.

With a loud bang, the two men fell heavily to the ground, coughing up blood and lifeless.

Seeing Shanzi kill the two Qin soldiers so cleanly and efficiently, Cai Wen felt an indescribable sense of admiration and gratitude.

In such a chaotic world, it is truly a great fortune for the Cai family to encounter a young man like Shanzi who is both brave and compassionate.

The old man thought to himself that with Shanzi's protection, his young lady's safety would be as secure as if it were protected by an impregnable fortress, and she would no longer have to live in fear.

After quickly dispatching the two Qin soldiers, Shanzi vanished like a ghost and returned to her boudoir in the blink of an eye.

Shanzi's heart was entangled as if by a thousand threads, making it difficult to make a decision.

If he chooses to leave now and join the fight against the Qin army, these three innocent people may once again become victims under the iron hooves of the Qin soldiers.

On the other hand, if he stayed to protect them, he would be unable to leave and fight against the Qin army.

He slowly walked to Miss Cai and Xiaodie's side.

Miss Cai nestled silently in Xiao Die's arms, occasionally letting out a few soft sobs.

Xiaodie also looked haggard, with obvious swelling around her ankle, clearly injured by the Qin soldiers' violence and in excruciating pain.

Shanzi took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
