Questions sur les chansons d'amour - Chapitre 4

Chapitre 4

As someone who specializes in helping people travel through time, how could I not know all the basics of time travel?

If you want to travel through time and space and live freely and unrestrained, the first requirement is that you can have nothing, but you can't be without money. The first key point is that, regardless of your social status, you must find a way to be self-reliant and to take control of your own life. And to be self-reliant and free, "money" is naturally of paramount importance. Without money, you are restricted in everything you do, and all ideals and ambitions are out of the question.

In short, money is very important.

So, how could I, Qingyan, who controls countless time-travel stories, be without money?

And the best way to start this journey through the Void Alliance's time and space is naturally with the brothel madam's ill-gotten gains.

Yesterday, after a satisfying meal, I secretly slipped some of the madam's money around the corner. As I was about to leave, I suddenly had a sudden urge to kindly say goodbye to the madam and thank her.

He rummaged through the madam's wardrobe and found a silk handkerchief. He drew a picture in it: a wardrobe wide open, filled with money and jewels. Next to it, he drew a cartoon masked thief, carrying a large bag on his back, waving goodbye with big, smiling eyes.

In the side room, the madam, surrounded by servants and exuding an arrogant air, was berating several new maids with a dark face. Before she could even take a sip of tea, she was struck on the head with a loud "bang." Enraged, then startled, she picked up the small stone that had fallen on her head, removed the silk handkerchief covering it, and then suddenly froze, her expression shifting rapidly. She stumbled into the room, and then let out a bloodcurdling scream that shook the heavens and earth…

Even now, thinking about it makes me want to laugh. No wonder she screamed; the bag was full of pearls, gems, jade, gold, and silver, all of seemingly high quality, and must have been worth a lot of money.

Smiling, she rested her chin on her hand, surveying the street outside the teahouse.

Downstairs, a commotion arose, with heavy, hurried footsteps. Before I could even be alert, a group of soldiers in bright armor strode up the stairs.

The young general at the head of the group had square features, a slender build, and a stern expression. He held a painting in his hand and was scanning the building with cold eyes.

Chapter 9: Throw the portrait at an idiot.

I was startled and quickly lowered my head. Damn it, it's that guy who was chasing me again. Based on my analysis of idol gossip that I've been listening to for over an hour, this person is none other than the number one lackey of the idol, the close attendant of Young Master Mo Yu—Lin Ye.

According to gossip data:

Lin Ye, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, has been taking care of and following Mo Yu since childhood. He is highly skilled in martial arts and has few rivals. His idol, the young master Mo Yu, treats him as both a brother and a friend. In his mind, nothing in the world is more important than his master.

While I was studying the enemy situation, the waiter in the teahouse was all smiles and ran over happily, bowing and scraping as he greeted Lin Ye.

"General Lin, you've arrived? What can I do for you? I will do my utmost to fulfill your orders."

Lin Ye nodded, opened the sketchbook in his hand, pointed, and spoke in a low, serious voice: "Hu Ren, have you ever seen this person?"

Hu Ren, the waiter, quickly stepped forward, tilted his head, and leaned closer to examine it carefully.

Without a doubt, the forestry department must have my portrait in their hands. I didn't expect them to be so efficient; they even prepared my portrait so quickly.

I quietly stood up and, taking advantage of their heads being down, quickly moved towards the window.

"This person looks so familiar, I think I've seen her before, but her clothes and hair are a little different... Ah, I remember now, it's her... Oh dear, it's her, she's escaped the general..." the waiter exclaimed.

Without hesitation, I jumped off the windowsill, ignoring the chaos behind me. I ducked down and plunged into the crowd, running towards the stalls. After overturning less than ten stalls and turning a few corners, I successfully stirred up the entire street. As the noise intensified, a bunch of people fell to the ground.

I looked back and saw Lin Ye blocking the road in the distance, his path blocked by a group of furious stall owners and pedestrians he had knocked down. He was extremely anxious but could only stand helplessly to the side, his face ashen, his eyes fixed on me from afar. I smiled wryly, returned his smug grin, not caring whether he could see it or not, then bent down and darted into the alley, disappearing from his sight.

hehe.

Give the portrait to an idiot; it's useless to draw it.

************

Qingyan's first rule of pranks: In unfavorable situations, you must turn passivity into initiative, take the initiative, and turn the open into the covert.

I smiled and happily wandered around the clothing store.

Want to catch me? Fine. I've collected and created a total of 81 pranks, but I've never fully put them to use. I wouldn't mind trying the complete version in this timeline. Back in the day, how many troublesome kids and wayward youths, both inside and outside of school, did I manage to eliminate right in front of me? Cough cough, although most of them were eliminated by my master, I did play a part in that, didn't I?

The shop owner's little girl stared at me curiously, standing behind me with a large stack of clothes in her arms.

Cough cough.

I cleared my throat, gave a sweet smile, and said, "Little sister, can you do me a favor? Here, take this."

A large, perfectly round pearl with a soft luster appeared before her.

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded frantically.

Qingyan's second prank rule: Surprise attacks often yield unexpected results.

They were taking my portrait around asking people, weren't they? I'll make sure their portrait is completely useless. Hmph, back in the day, at my school's costume party, my makeup was so good that none of my close friends recognized me. Changing my image is a piece of cake.

Chapter 10 should teach him a lesson.

Half an hour later, a handsome young man dressed in a moon-white long robe appeared on the streets of Huaicheng.

On the bustling, ancient street, amidst the comings and goings of people, a young man strolls leisurely, casually picking up various trinkets from the stalls to examine them, his face beaming with joy. If someone were to look closely, they would notice that the young man is tall and slender, exuding elegance from behind. But turning to the front, one would feel a pang of regret: his skin is slightly dark, his eyebrows slightly thick, his lips too small, and his pointed little face is covered with dense freckles.

However, upon closer inspection, one discovers that the boy's features are actually quite exquisite, especially his phoenix eyes, which are neither too big nor too small. His bright eyes are like water, with a lively and energetic feel. With a blink of an eye and a slight smile, he exudes a refreshing and pleasant fragrance.

Coming to my senses, I was surprised and felt completely bewildered. The person in front of me was clearly just a skinny boy with a pockmarked face.

strangeness.

"Don't look, don't look!" The passerby shook his head, staring at me suspiciously, looking utterly unwilling, before finally walking away.

I smiled and took out a folding fan, waving it around with great enthusiasm as a prop.

After turning a few streets, Lin Ye, expressionless, still stood like a pillar under the eaves, his deep gaze sweeping through the crowd. Every now and then, men would look around, exchange glances, or casually brush past Lin Ye, their lips twitching slightly at the same time.

Ha, the legendary hidden sentries? All this back and forth, is it some kind of exchange? That damned forestry guy is still looking for me?

I smiled slightly, my eyes crinkling with excitement.

Twenty minutes later—

I bumped into Lin Ye's first subordinate, who gave me a cold look.

The second time he casually picked up a piece of porcelain from a stall, I snatched it away with lightning speed. He didn't even bother to look up, threw down the item, and quickly ran to the side to pat another girl who looked similar on the shoulder, ultimately getting an embarrassing scolding.

The third one stepped on my foot while I was distracted watching the commotion, adding the comment "Don't block my way." In return, I retaliated with a packet of itching powder and a glare.

Fourth, while looking at the picture book in his hand, he asked me if I had seen a woman like that because I leaned closer to look. I gave him a very sweet smile and then very humbly said that I hadn't seen her before. While he was distracted, I gracefully and quietly made my exit.

The fifth one ﹏﹏

After I finished walking around, and saw General Lin standing on the street corner like a majestic statue, I was so trying to hold back my laughter that my face was cramping.

This expressionless, clumsy bull is relentlessly pursuing me; he needs to teach him a lesson. I've already been forced to hide for a whole day and night because of him—that's already giving him enough face. If I don't use some tricks, won't he think I'm easy to bully?

Okay, nod. Decision made.

I flashed a sweet smile, revealing eight teeth, and swaggered towards him.

We had to stop as soon as we reached the forestry department.

Several elderly men and women from the countryside, pushing carts laden with vegetables and local specialties, were heading towards us, their brows beaded with sweat. Lin Ye and I happened to be blocking their way. The elderly men and women stopped behind Lin Ye, glanced at him timidly, and hesitated to speak. They then looked at me with ingratiating smiles, as if they wanted to say something but held back.

"Brother." I smiled and tugged at Lin Ye's sleeve.

Chapter 11 is actually an aphrodisiac.

Lin Ye's cold gaze swept over me, lingering on my face for a moment before he asked expressionlessly, "What is it?"

I shook my head and pointed behind him.

Lin Ye turned around, immediately stepped back, and walked a few steps.

I walked with him to the inside of the eaves, watching the elderly couple's handcarts pass by. Then I nodded to him, gave him a very polite smile, and walked away leisurely.

Forestry didn't react, still maintaining its aloof and arrogant attitude.

Of course, this only refers to this short period of time.

I had just hidden myself in the alleyway at the street corner when I noticed Lin Ye, who had been as steady as a pillar, starting to act strangely. The first sign of this was his facial expression, which turned from blue to red in an extremely bizarre way. He started to walk away, but then stopped himself, his face turning dark with rage. He raised his head with intense anger and frustration in his eyes, staring intently in the direction I had left.

I was lying on the corner of the wall, laughing so hard my stomach hurt, and I was squatting on the ground groaning.

Lin Ye, nicknamed "Big Bean Ox," probably never imagined in his entire life that he could have been poisoned, and what kind of poison it was, in such a short time.

If I tell him the truth, I wonder how he will react?

Haha, haha﹏﹏

Thinking about what was about to happen, tears of joy welled up in my eyes.

************

Damn it!

Lin Ye gritted his teeth in resentment, so regretful that he wanted to kill himself.

He finally remembered who that kid was. No wonder that skinny boy with a face full of pockmarks gave off such an air of elegance; it turned out to be the woman who had descended from the sky in disguise.

However, he no longer had the energy to think about anything else.

All my attention was focused on one point.

He actually fell for it.

Damn it!

Lin Ye felt weak and limp, and could only lean lightly against the wall behind him. He desperately suppressed the restlessness and fever in his body, his two fingers hanging at his sides clenched until they turned white. If he hadn't been unaware of the type of poison he had been given, and if he hadn't been so proud and determined to expel the toxins from his body with his internal energy, Lin Ye probably would have already rushed back to his residence and plunged into the ice cave.

You must not show weakness, especially not in front of a woman.

He refused to believe that with his internal strength, he couldn't force out this damned poison.

Slowly, it coalesced and pressed together. My mind cleared, and the toxins were gradually moving towards my elbow. Just a little more persistence, and I'll definitely succeed!

"Big brother." A sweet child's voice interrupted his efforts, trying to call out to him.

The forestry worker lowered his gaze.

A little girl with a round face and two pigtails standing in front of him blinked her big eyes, handed him a piece of paper, and smiled sweetly: "This is from a big brother who asked me to give this to you. He gave me this to eat."
