Sitting on the wool rug barefooted, Gui Wan fiddles with various ornaments before her, her face of deep calm showing a trace of cunningness that is difficult to catch onto.
Walking into the room, Mo Na was incessantly surprised: “What are you doing? Madam.” Ever since the day of the banquet, the Nu King strictly ordered, everyone must know that this woman of the Celestial Empire is a distinguished guest, not one person should neglect this.
Gui Wan raises her head, smiling beautifully, captivatingly, reflecting the long lost joy in her, “Thinking about how to spend the next few days.”
“Madam, why not go wandering around the Nu Capital, I believe everyone within the entire city must be scrambling to catch a glimpse of your elegance.” Mo Na laughingly says, these past few days, Gui Wan has practically been pestering her in asking for all that is happening within the Nu Capital, not even sparing the minor details, with the look of extreme interest towards the Nu Capital.
Not giving an immediate answer, Gui Wan acts as though she is thinking as she picks up the things around her, a twinkling of faint light catches Mo Na’s attention, she could not help but to stare curiously at the thing in Gui Wan’s hand, all of those are the accessories that had originally been removed from Gui Wan’s body, but looking at it now, how could the structure look slightly different?
Gui Wan notices her wonder, but does not stop her, leaving her to get a good look, until Mo Na took hold of it, did she feel she is being overly sensitive, this is clearly an accessory from back then, there is no difference at all. Looking away, she looks towards Gui Wan again.
Gui Wan still carries that faint smile, sweetly saying: “Since there is nothing to do, then let us go wander around the Nu Capital.” Having said that, she stands up, her face filled with anticipation.
Seeing her in such a happy mood, Mo Na hastily stands up, under Gui Wan’s suggestion, the two of them leaves the room in male getup, with the accompany of Mo Na, they smoothly leave the palace.
A little after leaving the palace gates, they follow a small and sparsely populated trail, Mo Na excitedly explains to Gui Wan about some of the unique things in the Nu Tribe, but finds that Gui Wan seems a little distracted, she diverts the topic, asking: “Is it not as beautiful as your homeland here? Why are you not happy?”
“The Celestial Empire and this place each has its own strengths, I really like it,” Within her indifferent smile, there reveals desolation, Gui Wan turns her head, gently asking, “But I have been brought here as a tradable item……how am I to possibly treat this place as my own homeland?”
Hearing this, Mo Na reveals a look of shame, the Nu people have always been militant, but because of the natural disaster that occurred this time, they have suffered the loss of a large number of warhorses. The decline in military strength, caused the Nu Tribe to face a serious shortage of fighting force in face of foreign enemies, that is why they need one woman to make an exchange for warhorses, and because of Prince Ye Li’s selfish reasons, they have actually abducted this woman to the Nu territory, even wanting to make her his, such acts does indeed appear somewhat despicable.
Wanting to say a word of apology, she looks back, only to meet Gui Wan’s smiling face like that of blossoming spring flowers, in a moment of hesitation, she had just wanted to ask for the reason, when her hand suddenly receives a gentle prick, the words in her mouth turns into a soft sound, and her body had already collapsed, she forcefully grips onto her consciousness, but senses her willpower rapidly blur out.
Gui Wan crouches down, looking into her almost closed eyes, she softly says: “This type of drug is not only exclusive to the Nu Tribe, it is also available in my homeland, originally I have only kept it by my side for self-defence, didn’t think I would be using it on you, you take a good rest, no matter what, you do not need to apologise to me, with this, I guess we’re even now.”
A gracefully pretty voice accompanies Mo Na’s consciousness as she gradually sinks deep into darkness……
Standing up, once again checking all the accessories she has on her, Gui Wan remains on the same spot for a while, although she has found out about all situations within the Nu Tribe these past few days, and even made a detailed plan, she still needs to think it through carefully, by taking every step into great consideration, only then can she truly leave this place.
Raising her head towards the skies, Gui Wan reveals a smile of indifference, gently throwing back her sleeves, she clearly works out the directions, turning around and leaves.
