Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 83: Mission, Ambush 1

The Chu Qianyun family was preparing to head to the county town, while Cheng Xiaoxiao was heading to the town, so after walking for a while, they parted ways.

"Thank you, Miss Cheng, let’s part ways here. After I’m settled, I..."

This person is even more stubborn than she is!

"It’s really unnecessary, the road into our village has been washed away. If it weren’t for my guards being highly skilled in martial arts, I wouldn’t have been able to get out, so you can’t go back either. Besides, are you sure your eldest sister will be safe in the county town?"

Chu Qianyun hesitated. Before meeting with his eldest sister, he could not be certain.

"If you really want to thank me, wait until I need something from you. I was thinking about doing business before." Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t hold back. She definitely planned to do business in the future.

The characters of these two people were quite good. It would be great to have them help manage the shop in the future.

Chu Qianyun and Lady Yuan exchanged a glance, surprised that Miss Cheng could say such a thing in this situation. She might not be as simple as she seemed on the surface. A young girl not yet of age saying she wants to do business is either wishful thinking or she has some backing. They leaned towards the latter.

Indeed, looking at the skilled Leng Qi, they became clear. If she were merely a village girl, how could she afford a guard with such exceptional martial arts?

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t know they were thinking so much. She just wanted to say, she is just a mere village girl, truly genuine.

Chu Qianyun agreed not to seek her out and gave her the address of his eldest sister’s home in the county town, telling her to send someone to inform them whenever she needed help, as he and his wife would be ready to assist.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was very pleased to find two excellent employees, always on standby, great!

Cheng Xiaoxiao bid them farewell and walked with Leng Qi on the desolate mountain path, pondering how to take down the previous bandit group, "Leng Qi, how many people with your skills would it take to eliminate a bandit group of over a thousand?"

Leng Qi was surprised, "You mean that bandit group has over a thousand people?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded, her bright eyes steadily gazing at Leng Qi, making him feel awkward.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He felt Cheng was about to transform into a female Rakshasa and torment him again.

"Nothing much! Just... aren’t you curious how I know the bandits number over a thousand?" Cheng Xiaoxiao had an innocent face, as if it was a trivial matter. If you ask, I will tell you!

Leng Qi thought so too, and asked, "If I ask you... you’ll tell me?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s lips curled into a mysterious smile, "I’ll tell you... but..."

Leng Qi leaned his ear towards Cheng Xiaoxiao, afraid of missing anything, as he had been curious about this for some time.

Cheng Xiaoxiao changed her tone, "But I’ll only tell my own people. Wait until you have the privilege of becoming my own person!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao ran off smugly. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

And laughed heartily and crisply!

Leng Qi choked; what does it mean to become her own person someday, and privilege, what privilege?

Forget it, he had to remind himself not to be led astray by the female Rakshasa.

At this moment, the system notified: "Host, there are many dead bodies ahead to your right."

Cheng Xiaoxiao paused, "How many is ’many’?"

Even though they were on a mountain path, they were close to the town, yet there were many dead bodies?

"There is a large pit filled with corpses; the exact number is hard to scan. However, some have started decomposing. You better not go there, so many dead bodies not buried, and in the low areas, there are pieces bitten by wild beasts, hands, feet..."

"Stop it!" Just hearing the system’s description made her stomach churn.

Leng Qi stepped forward with confusion, "What is it?"

Why did she suddenly feel unwell?

Cheng Xiaoxiao: "77, I can’t just leave like this, these bodies must be burned, or it will easily spread the plague."

Then she turned, showing a kind smile at Leng Qi.

Leng Qi flinched, that smile was too familiar. What was she up to again?

"Why are you so uptight, you’re an assassin! Don’t you have the self-restraint of a competent assassin?" Cheng Xiaoxiao looked disdainful.

The system stated, "Host, Leng Qi must have noticed that every time you intend to mess with him, you have this smile."

Cheng Xiaoxiao held her face, rubbing it, how could it be, her smile is always cute, adorable!

The system replied, "An aunt’s heart with a girl’s face, isn’t it strange when she smiles?"

"77, are you looking for trouble, be careful or I’ll mute you."

Is there such a system that slanders its own host?

"Just say it straightforwardly." Leng Qi roughly understood Cheng Xiaoxiao’s personality now.

"It’s no big deal, just need a little favor." Cheng Xiaoxiao pointed toward the pit, "Trouble Coach Leng to help burn the bodies."

Leng Qi’s face darkened, and he dashed forward to inspect.

After a short while, he returned, his expression unpleasant. It was a gruesome sight; little girls would surely have nightmares. He didn’t say much, "Wait for me."

Then he went to handle it, clearly already guessing Cheng Xiaoxiao’s intention.

Soon, he gathered many branches, and a blazing fire roared up.

Watching the fire crackling on the branches, smoke billowing upwards, Cheng Xiaoxiao silently prayed, may these people find peace after death and quickly ascend to bliss!

Just as Cheng Xiaoxiao murmured.

Beep!

[System Rescue Mission Initiated]

[This month’s mission detects a massacre of ten thousand people occurring within 5 kilometers of the host in 3 days. The host is to save ten thousand lives within 3 days and rescue one important person, with no identity hint. The host must act quickly! A 90% completion rate is considered passing, a 100% completion rewards with a crystal, failure results in revoking all Energy Value and store access, and further failure results in immediate eradication!]

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt as if struck by lightning. She couldn’t even deal with a bandit group of a thousand, and now the system task was asking her to save ten thousand people. Five kilometers would cover the whole town, wouldn’t it?

The town harbors a murderer more brutal than the bandits, a hundred times more ruthless. They see her as capable? Expecting her to send herself to death!

Fail to complete the task, immediate eradication!

Going forward was like jumping into the dragon’s lair, retreating was like falling into an abyss.

Things weren’t looking good from the start!

Ah!

Ah!

"Ah!"

Finally, Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but shout out, leaning back helplessly, wanting to lie down flat...

Only to fall into the sturdy arms of Leng Qi, who was looking at her worriedly.

Frustrating!

"Wow!"

"I can’t even have the right to lie down and wait for death? Leng Qi, you damn killer, can you let someone die in peace?"

The system: "..."

It wanted to comfort the host, but the host’s antics were hard to watch!

Leng Qi looked bewildered; what happened? Why talk about dying for no good reason; even facing undefeatable enemies, he would still try to secure an escape route for her.

The system prompted, "Host, countdown has started, 71 hours and 56 minutes left."

Cheng Xiaoxiao quickly got up, holding back the tears almost spilling from her eyes, she sniffled her sore nose, dusted off her body, "Let’s go! Time waits for no one..."

Watching Cheng Xiaoxiao stride forward, Leng Qi was messed up in the wind!
