Chapter 18: A Natural Bandit Den

Tian Mi was eating the large steamed bun Aunt Feng had given her while drinking spring water, and she suddenly felt nauseous and lost her appetite! Afraid they would worry, she took the bun and pretended to eat it while heading out of the mountain.

Once she reached a secluded area, she entered her space. Having grown tired of the bun, she summoned a bowl of her favorite seafood porridge, but as soon as she was about to eat, she vomited it all up.

Tian Mi realized that it might not be a lack of appetite. She checked her pulse and her face grew increasingly pale.

She collapsed onto the sofa, lamenting that the exciting life she had hoped for in this new world was about to end before it even began! Tian Mi was on the verge of tears.

I have so much money in my space, yet I’ve never had a rich and handsome man to support me, and now I’m about to become a mother!

Is there no justice in this world?

Looking at the mountains of gold and silver in her warehouse, she felt no interest at all.

To make matters worse, the child’s father had shouted and threatened her as soon as he saw her. Had she really brought a disaster upon herself? If this was a punishment for being attracted to beauty, then surely this punishment was enough?

Should she keep this baby or not? Tian Mi truly did not want to keep it; she was still a little fairy and had not really seen this world yet, nor was she prepared to be a mother.

Sigh! Her mood was at an all-time low! She slowly made her way to the county town to gather information about the current situation and plan for her future life.

At this time, Mo Chen had already taken his troops to assist the King of Jin in fighting the King of Qi. He was no longer concerned about the situation with the King of Yu, as his large army could not enter, and the King of Yu’s troops could not come out either. This was a rare opportunity for the King of Qi.

While the King of Jin and the King of Qi were in a stalemate facing each other, Mo Chen led his troops to flank the King of Qi’s rear, forcing him to retreat and abandon his territory, alleviating the King of Jin’s predicament.

Upon seeing the King of Jin, Mo Chen quickly bowed and said, “Your Majesty, I have arrived late!”

The King of Jin was in high spirits, laughing heartily as he helped him up.

(Anyways Prince Mo Chen is the man who slept with Tian Mi!   Shesshhhh)

“My son has arrived just in time!”

Now, all the princes were either dead or fleeing, allowing the King of Jin to officially seize the capital and ascend the throne, becoming the ruler of the world. He could then turn his attention to the King of Qi and the King of Yu, claiming to act in the name of the emperor.

Thus, three days later, the King of Jin ascended the throne and changed the era name. This year-long struggle for the throne had temporarily settled down, but the common people in the territories of the Kings of Qi and Yu were about to face their darkest hour.

Having experienced this struggle for the throne, they had no way out and could only engage in a final fight. The King of Qi and the King of Yu joined forces, while the King of Chen and the King of Wu did the same. The King of Jin, who arrived last due to his long service at the border, found that the Kings of Qi and Yu had already defeated the Kings of Chen and Wu before they could turn against him.

On her way to the county town, Tian Mi saw villagers rushing up the mountain in a hurry. She also encountered a group of soldiers on horseback coming to conscript strong men. When they saw the village, they charged in to capture people, prompting her to quickly hide in her space.

There was no need to go to the county town for information anymore! This world was in chaos; she needed to hurry and find a big mountain to hide in. Sigh! What a life as a bandit!

On her way up the mountain, Tian Mi met villagers fleeing from disasters. An old man came up and called out, “Miss, Miss!”

Tian Mi found him a bit familiar.

“Miss, it’s me, the old man! When we were near Xingrong County, your father sold me some water.”

Oh! Tian Mi remembered that this had indeed happened. Looking at their group, there were quite a few of them, over a hundred people, and they had finally made it here.

Tian Mi said, “Old man, you all should hurry and hide; the conscription soldiers are coming soon. We’ve all hidden up the mountain.”

Upon hearing this, their faces changed dramatically. The old man decisively led the way up the mountain to hide.

The old man asked, “Miss, where are you hiding? Can we all stay together for safety?”

Tian Mi had a good impression of them, and it would be better to have more people in the mountains for handling situations, so she nodded and led them to their mountain.

When they reached the big mountain, they saw everyone was busy preparing dinner, herding livestock to eat grass.
