Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Chapter 466 Disappeared out of thin air

"Strike first, win?" Shen Qingdai asked, puzzled.

Ye Qing'an simply nodded: "Strike first, I'll poison myself."

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "This means you'll need to find someone to cooperate with me and put on a good show again."

……

Because they needed to hurry on their journey, they continued until around 9 PM, when they finally stopped on a slightly more open flat area.

As soon as Ye Qing'an got off the carriage, she saw He Yi riding his horse quickly toward her: "There is no rain tonight, and we don't have many people. We also need to get up early to travel, so we won't be setting up camp. Miss Ye will have to make do with the night in the carriage."

Ye Qing'an smiled warmly, her eyes crinkling: "It's only a two-day journey, we'll be there soon, it'll be fine to make do."

"I had someone fetch some food from the kitchen camp earlier. It can be heated up and eaten. Miss Ye, please wait a moment, and I will have someone bring it to you."

"it is good."

Sitting in the carriage for a long time was quite uncomfortable, so Ye Qing'an took Eleven to play on the grass. The surrounding area was lit by torches, so it was quite bright.

Eleven squatted on the grass, her eyes brightening slightly: "Mother, look, there are still crickets."

Eleven blinked, turned around and called to Qingdai in a low voice, "Sister Qingdai, come quickly and get me a teacup. I need to catch this cricket."

Shen Qingdai hurriedly returned to the carriage, took a teacup from it, and got off. Eleven took the teacup and pounced on her, saying, "Let's see where you run now."

Ye Qing'an watched with a smile, but she always felt that someone was watching her, and this feeling seemed somewhat familiar.

Ye Qing'an frowned and turned to look. There were more than a dozen soldiers sitting around the fire to rest, but there was no one Ye Qing'an recognized.

Ye Qing'an's gaze swept across the faces of the dozen or so soldiers before slowly turning his head away.

As soon as I turned my head back, that feeling of being watched returned.

Ye Qing'an remained silent and did not turn around again.

"This cricket seems a bit old. I wonder if it can still fight. There are other crickets chirping. I'll catch another one to try." Eleven put the lid back on the cup and continued searching for the next target.

A soldier soon found Ye Qing'an and her companions: "Miss Ye, this is something General He sent me to deliver to you."

Shen Qingdai quickly took it, glanced at Ye Qing'an, lowered her head, took a piece of cake, and handed it to Ye Qing'an.

Ye Qing'an smiled and took it, then immediately took a bite.

As soon as she took a bite, Ye Qing'an noticed that gaze had fallen on her again.

Ye Qing'an didn't make a sound, and slowly finished eating the cake.

"Alright, it's getting late. Eleven has gotten her hands all dirty from playing on the ground. Qingdai, go get some water for Eleven to wash her hands, then pack up and go back to the carriage to rest."

"it is good."

Shen Qingdai responded and took Eleven to find water.

Ye Qing'an watched the two figures walk away, a slight smile playing on her lips, before turning and heading towards the carriage.

Halfway there, Ye Qing'an suddenly stopped, raised her hand to press her temple, her face showing pain, and her body swayed slightly.

"Miss Ye? What's wrong?" A nearby soldier noticed Ye Qing'an's appearance and quickly stepped forward to ask.

"I seem to be poisoned."

"Poisoned?" The soldier looked panicked. "What do we do?"

Ye Qing'an took a deep breath and barely managed to calm herself down: "I'll go back to the carriage to rest for a while. Could you ask General He if there are any physicians or military doctors traveling with me to come and take a look at me?"

"it is good."

The two had been talking quite loudly, and the soldiers around them were not far away, so many people's eyes immediately fell on Ye Qing'an.

However, since they were both men, it wasn't appropriate for them to go up and help.

"I'll go and fetch Miss Ye's maid." A soldier quickly ran towards Qingdai and Eleven.

Ye Qing'an swayed again before staggering toward the carriage.

Just as Ye Qing'an reached the carriage, she suddenly vanished into thin air under the watchful eyes of countless people...

Someone stood up: "Where...where is Miss Ye?"

"No... missing?"

A few of the bolder soldiers quickly walked to the spot where Ye Qing'an had just vanished into thin air, raised their hands and waved them in the air, but found nothing amiss.

"You all saw it just now, right? She...she just walked over here and suddenly disappeared."

"I saw it, I saw it! It really disappeared suddenly, without any warning at all."

Upon hearing the news of Ye Qing'an's poisoning, He Yi hurried over. Seeing a crowd gathered around Ye Qing'an's carriage, but with Ye Qing'an nowhere to be seen, he frowned and asked, "What are you all doing here? Where is Miss Ye?"

"General He has arrived."

"General, Miss Ye suddenly disappeared into thin air."

"Disappeared out of thin air? What nonsense are you talking about?" He Yi's face turned cold.

"it is true!"

“We all saw it. Miss Ye just said she was poisoned and asked someone to report to you, General, before preparing to return to her carriage to rest. We saw her staggering, but remembering that men and women shouldn't touch each other, we sent someone to fetch Miss Ye's maid. Miss Ye walked alone to the carriage, right here…”

"She had just walked here when suddenly, suddenly she disappeared."

"Yes, it really happened in the blink of an eye, without any warning, it just suddenly disappeared."

He Yi asked around, and everyone's answers were pretty much the same, so he had no choice but to believe them.

"Is it a summoning spell?"

"No, we didn't see any summoning circle."

"There are no spiritual energy fluctuations here caused by illusions."

"Teleportation is possible, but the range can't be too large. There's nothing around but open space besides us, so we can't teleport out of this grassy area, right?"

"They really just vanished into thin air. Isn't that a bit too frightening?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion when someone called out, "Miss Ye's child and maid have returned."

Shen Qingdai carried Eleven in her arms, slightly out of breath, and asked, "Where is Miss... Miss?"

The group then recounted what had just happened.

Shen Qingdai's eyes widened, her face turning pale: "How...how is this possible? How can a living person just disappear like that? Even if it's teleportation, even if it's a summoning spell, even if it's entering an illusion, there should still be traces."

"Yeah, that's really weird."

Eleven looked equally terrified: "What happened to my mother? Where did she go? Has someone hidden her?"

As Shiyi spoke, her eyes reddened: "Please help me find my mother."

He Yi pursed his lips: "Of course we should look for them."

"Men!" He Yi turned around and ordered loudly, "Surround the area and search carefully. Don't miss any place."
