Suspended in mid-air, Gu Lingqiao heard a ripping sound. Before she could react, she felt a weight pulling her down, and she plummeted swiftly.

Thud...

After a dizzying spin, a heart-wrenching pain struck, making her cry out loudly: "Ah... it hurts so much...!"

Gu Lingqiao felt extremely aggrieved. How could she be so unlucky? She was hanging up there perfectly fine, how did she fall? Heaven was really fond of messing with her.

And then there’s that little cheap person, the Princess Consort of War Prince. She looked weak, but who knew she had such strength? She actually lifted her with one hand and cruelly tossed her out. This wasn’t the first time, Gu Lingqiao was filled with hatred towards Xuexue.

By this time, the old maid had already walked a dozen steps away, heard the anticipated cry, and her smile deepened, teaching this wench a lesson for always bullying her. She should learn to respect her elders.

After all, she, the old maid, was the top assassin in the Itinerant World. This little wench should not treat her with such disdain. Today was just a small punishment. If she dared again, death would be the penalty, the old maid thought fiercely in her heart.

Her small actions were unknown to those present, who thought Gu Lingqiao was simply unlucky. Hanging up there, the vine broke, causing her fall. No one knew it was all the old maid’s doing.

Half-dead from the pain, Gu Lingqiao blamed the account on Xuexue again.

"Miss, why did you fall? I haven’t brought the ladder yet!" The old maid hurriedly ran to her side.

"What... what are you talking about? Didn’t you see... I already fell?" Gu Lingqiao lay face down on the ground, biting a mouthful of dirt. As she began to speak, she accidentally swallowed several grains of sand.

"Ptooey ptooey ptooey...!"

Blood mixed with some sand was spat out.

The old maid looked at her with curiosity, saying: "Miss, your teeth are falling out."

"Ah! What? What did you say?" Gu Lingqiao realized, reached to touch her mouth, goodness! Two front teeth were missing. This shock was no trivial matter; her teeth were her appearance. If they fell out, how could she meet Brother Kong?

"Oh dear! My teeth." Gu Lingqiao squatted down, carefully examining the pool of bloodwater, and sure enough, found two teeth in it.

Gu Lingqiao didn’t mind the dirt and picked the teeth up from the bloodwater.

The old maid frowned, speaking disdainfully: "Miss, forget it, the teeth have already fallen out; it’s useless to pick them up."

Gu Lingqiao insisted on taking them back, worrying about her unmarried state and losing two teeth, how would she manage? At this moment, she was extremely sorrowful.

"It’s all because of that little cheap person Situ Xueer. How cruel, taking advantage of the Prince’s coma to throw me out." With the old maid’s support, Gu Lingqiao stood up, grimacing.

Supported by the maid and old maid, she limped away.

In the bedroom, just after Xuexue tossed Gu Lingqiao out, Long Rui opened his eyes.

"Darling, when did your martial power become so strong?" Long Rui was extremely surprised, not having seen her for a few days, her martial power had improved so rapidly, it was practically against heaven.

Xuexue explained to Long Rui how Xiao Jiu found the Ginseng Fruit, which she ate to enhance her martial power.

Long Rui listened in a daze, not expecting Xiao Jiu had the special ability to find treasures. He used to think its only skill besides eating was talking.
