Unlimited Resources: Raising a Minister with a Space Supermarket-Chapter 520 - 459: No Discrimination

Yu Xiaolian could see that Su Jingchen wasn’t entirely confident in this plan, so she suggested, "Why don’t... I’ll personally take care of the poisoning. I’ll hide by their water source and every hour, I’ll add a little more poison to the water.

Just to be safe, I’ll also bring some knockout drug, and if necessary, I’ll put it in the food they eat."

Su Jingchen didn’t hesitate to refuse, "No way, even though your inner strength is profound, your moves are quite average. If you encounter danger, you won’t be able to handle it alone!"

"How am I average? Don’t forget, I’m really strong; I can punch a cow to death."

Of course, Yu Xiaolian had never actually tested punching a cow to death; it was just her own assumption.

"Other than extending your fists and lifting your legs, what else can you do?" Su Jingchen recalled Yu Xiaolian’s clumsy moves and couldn’t hide his disdain.

"I can also fly, don’t forget! You taught me Qinggong yourself, so have a little faith in yourself!" Yu Xiaolian tried to persuade Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen: "..."

I have plenty of confidence in myself, just none in you.

The only time you flew, you ended up trampling someone’s roof. Would you really boast that I taught you Qinggong?

It’s a waste of Miao Danyi’s several decades of profound inner strength, truly wasted on you.

If it were anyone else with such profound inner strength, they’d be as light as a swallow, moving freely. Yet, before flying, Yu Xiaolian has to take a deep breath and prepare herself for a while.

Normally, no one’s rushing you as you prepare. But in a bandit’s lair, nobody’s going to wait around watching for you to take off!

"I also have a hidden space; what are you worried about?" Yu Xiaolian lowered her voice.

"It’s perfectly suitable for me to go. I’ll observe the situation. If poisoning the water doesn’t work, I’ll poison the food. Once I’ve drugged them all, I’ll send you a signal. My space has a double sound device. When I tap on the double sound, you bring people and ropes up the mountain!"

Su Jingchen still wasn’t reassured, "What if they spot you?"

Yu Xiaolian can hide in her space, but when she comes out, she cannot anticipate if anyone is present outside. If she appears out of nowhere, then...

No matter what, Su Jingchen wasn’t comfortable. Although Yu Xiaolian was brave, she wasn’t thoroughly careful.

"Why are you worried? When I enter my space, I naturally hide in a concealed area first, and surely when I come out, I won’t run into many people. If it’s just one person, I’ll zap him with my stun gun."

After she stuns him, she’ll put him in her space. In a huge mountain lair, suddenly missing one person won’t be noticed immediately.

"Last time, can you still find the knockout drug Zheng Yuanfeng gave you?"

Aha, got it!

Yu Xiaolian chuckled, "Of course, why not? I’ve stored it well!"

"I’ll give you only two days. If after two days, I haven’t received your signal, retreat immediately." Since Yu Xiaolian has a life-saving space, Su Jingchen isn’t worried about her life being in danger, but he doesn’t want anyone to know the secret of the space.

Yu Xiaolian nodded happily, "How should we explain to He Jian? If we say my Qinggong is better and I’m more suited to poison them, it doesn’t seem very convincing."

Su Jingchen gave a helpless smile, "At least you have self-awareness, knowing your skills aren’t that great."

"Cough... don’t bring martial arts bias here!"

Yu Xiaolian pouted, thinking that practicing martial arts was too tiring, and a girl’s calves and arms having muscles were really ugly!

"I’ll talk to He Jian!" When the time comes, just tell He Jian that there’s someone else going to poison.

"When you’re done with the double sound, take another route down the mountain quickly, and don’t let anyone see you, else it’ll be hard to explain."

"Mm!" Yu Xiaolian nodded obediently, filled with heroic determination as if she’s rescuing people from calamity, feeling like a great hero in bandit elimination.

The next day, Yu Xiaolian found an excuse, saying she was going to visit relatives at River Bend, and left the county government.

Fu Gui and He Jian were quite puzzled. The lady going to visit relatives, not taking a maid seemed fine, but not riding a carriage and instead riding a horse was strange.

The Lord County Magistrate, usually worried about the lady going out alone, was behaving unusually; not only did he not stop her, but he even personally helped her onto the horse.

Strange, very strange!

Yu Xiaolian’s horseback riding skills were already very skilled, whipping the horse along the way. In just three hours, she arrived at the foot of Wuyuan Mountain herself.

At the rocky wall beneath the mountain, Yu Xiaolian placed the horse in her space, tying it in a small garden behind a supermarket, and after giving it a bucket of water, she brought a big bowl of corn grits for it to eat.

Then, she changed into a set of lightweight black sportswear, wearing a black mask.

Leaving her space, according to what He Jian said, walking towards the mountain, she’d see a lookout tower, and after passing it for three or four miles, she’d see the bandit’s lair.

Since gaining inner strength, Yu Xiaolian felt full of inexhaustible energy, so climbing the mountain didn’t tire her.

When she saw the lookout tower He Jian mentioned, she realized the tower is at a high vantage point, allowing a clear view of every plant and tree around; sneaking past silently seemed difficult.

The sentry was very dedicated, his head rotating like a 360-degree camera, spinning non-stop.

Yu Xiaolian hid behind a large stone at a low point for a while.

This Wuyuan Mountain has this advantage; big, plentiful stones make for good hiding.

As the sentry turned his head, Yu Xiaolian quickly moved from one stone to another.

And so, playing hide-and-seek for half an hour, Yu Xiaolian successfully reached under the lookout tower.

At this moment, she stood beneath the sentry’s feet.

Beyond there, no big stones were left to shield her. Large stones seemed intentionally cleared, and Yu Xiaolian looked at the large stone three zhang away, estimating her chances for a swift move.

After a while, Yu Xiaolian decided to give it a try; like how Su Jingchen mocked her, she took a deep breath, settled her internal energy, and bent her legs against the ground for leverage, rising into the air.

With a thud, Yu Xiaolian accidentally kicked the large stone, flipping it over.

She hadn’t meant to kick the stone; she’d intended to use it for cover. But now, with no time to think, the stone made a loud noise, and the sentry surely would turn to look. Yu Xiaolian quickly retreated into her space.

"Phew... that was close!" Yu Xiaolian patted her chest, glanced at her watch; it was almost eleven.

It seemed too late to add poison to the bandit’s lunchtime meal.
