Xie Jing didn't stop Qin Jiujiu and simply stood by with a cold expression.
Qin Jiujiu continued, "Little black snake, can you slither in by yourself?" She unbuckled the Qiankun Bag from her waist and placed it open in front of the little spirit snake, watching it with unblinking eyes.
Little spirit snake: Do you think that's possible?
But the next second, it felt a sudden chill in the air. It glanced at the man standing beside them, silent, and again felt a killing intent!
It lowered its noble head and silently crawled into the bag.
No matter how wronged it felt, it was better than facing that man!
Qin Jiujiu, satisfied, closed the Qiankun Bag and kindly asked, "Is it stuffy inside?"
There was no response from the little spirit snake.
Qin Jiujiu took it to mean—it wasn't stuffy! After all, it was a spirit snake! Definitely different from ordinary snakes! Kuaishu Ge
"Second Young Master Xie, can I discuss something with you..."
Before she could finish, Xie Jing grabbed her waist, and in an instant, she was back in the light.
Before she could even utter her thanks, he had already let go and walked forward on his own.
Qin Jiujiu rubbed her hands and glanced at the Qiankun Bag around her waist. "System, did I complete the mission successfully this time! What do I do with this snake?"
"Host, the mission is successfully completed. As for this little spirit snake, since you brought it back, you must send it home..."
Qin Jiujiu automatically filtered out the system's high-sounding words and turned to follow Xie Jing's steps.
What if there were other monsters in these deep mountains and old forests? It was safer to stay with the villain! Ordinary monsters wouldn't dare to approach him.
Xie Jing suddenly stopped. She bumped straight into his back.
His voice reached her, "Why didn't you ring the bell?" His voice was not loud, but Qin Jiujiu heard it.
Qin Jiujiu only then belatedly remembered the matter of the bell. She instinctively looked at her wrist, and Xie Jing happened to turn around, his gaze falling on her wrist.
Some emotion churned within him, and Qin Jiujiu couldn't decipher it. However, she felt that the villain was acting strangely at the moment.
The feeling was that the aloof villain shouldn't be displaying such complex emotions in front of her!
"Because I thought the bell was useless..."
Because in this world, she was just an insignificant cannon fodder. She couldn't predict her future and could only try to survive and complete the mission!
But these words, she couldn't say to Xie Jing.
So, she calmed her emotions, hid the inexplicable sense of grievance that arose, and replied, "I forgot..."
A lighthearted sentence that sounded like she had truly forgotten. But Xie Jing didn't believe her.
Xie Jing suddenly grabbed her wrist and touched the silver bracelet. His movements were very gentle, and his tone seemed soft too?
"Then next time, you must remember... When the bell rings, I will appear!"
It didn't sound like a joke.
Qin Jiujiu stared intently into Xie Jing's eyes, trying to discern the truth. This glance inexplicably made her heart tremble—he was entirely gentle at this moment, as if facing the most precious treasure in the world!
She suddenly found herself drowning in such a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes!
System: Villain's emotions detected as abnormal! Warning! Risk of plot deviation!
Qin Jiujiu couldn't hear it.
His hand released her wrist, but then moved to her face. His fingertips landed on her cheek. His fingertips, like his entire person, were cold, chillingly so.
Qin Jiujiu didn't want to dodge at this moment!
She felt his fingertips trace her cheek, then move to her lips. He gently pressed them, and suddenly spoke, "This... it's swollen..."
He gently rubbed it. Her lips, against his fair fingertips, looked exceptionally moist and alluring, as if waiting to be plucked.
System: Data processing complete! Crisis temporarily averted!
Xie Jing's words stirred Qin Jiujiu. She silently grumbled in her heart: It's all thanks to that damned dog!
Fragments flashed through her mind. She saw Xie Jing's collarbone, and then continued downwards... Everything seemed to happen slowly, and she didn't know how long it lasted. Their breaths intertwined, mixed with their soft gasps, ascending to the heavens together...
Dormant memories suddenly attacked her!
Qin Jiujiu's face was now flushed crimson. Xie Jing's hand suddenly landed on her earlobe, her most sensitive spot!
Her body felt like it was coursing with electricity, and she suddenly trembled slightly.
Her earlobe was as delicate and vibrant as blood!
Her memories returned with his every movement. Now it was her earlobe.
Last night, after he had continuously tested and teased her everywhere, he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. His sudden light laugh made her heart uneasy. Soon, she felt a warm, moist sensation on her earlobe.
"This seems a bit swollen too!"
Qin Jiujiu suddenly brushed his hand away forcefully and said seriously, "General Liu must be looking for me!" Without looking at Xie Jing, she walked forward.
Naturally, she didn't see the person behind her watching her retreating figure, his eyes suddenly turning scarlet.
He had murderous intent!
Just now in the forest, he had seen Qin Jiujiu riding with Liu Qi. His hand had been on her waist, and she had been smiling so happily! So dazzlingly!
When that person held her, did he feel the same as I do! Did he also have the urge to break her waist!
Not wanting to think further, he suddenly had the urge to kill!
A world-shattering killing intent!
"Host, villain's emotions are fluctuating greatly, blackening value is significantly rising!"
Suddenly, the system's alarm sounded. Qin Jiujiu's steps halted abruptly. She looked back, but Xie Jing was nowhere to be seen.
"System, where is Xie Jing?"
"Host, the world line is likely to collapse due to the villain! Host, please find Liu Qi as soon as possible and save him from the villain's grasp!"
Day after day, she was either saving people or saving snakes! Had they considered that she was just an ordinary person!
"Host, please hurry!"
Qin Jiujiu didn't move. The system became anxious. "Host, please complete the mission quickly..."
Qin Jiujiu interrupted its continued words, she could guess what it was going to say just by thinking about it. She didn't waste time with it and said concisely, "System, can I discuss something with you—is it reasonable for me to complete missions without rewards?"
System: It's over, the host is no longer easily fooled!
"Um... the reward is that completing the final mission will allow the host to return to the original world..." it continued to try and persuade her.
But Qin Jiujiu didn't fall for it at all and continued, "Then I'll just complete the main mission! You never told me I had to complete these small missions!"
The system knew it couldn't fool her anymore. The situation was urgent, so it had to compromise, "Then what reward does the host want?"
Qin Jiujiu smiled, very satisfied with this outcome. "That, I'll tell you after I complete the mission!"
System: ...
"Don't worry, it won't be too excessive! It won't cause harm to this world!"
The system could only agree, "Alright..."
Although somewhat unwilling, the system agreed. Qin Jiujiu said happily, "Then do we need to sign any agreement? I'm afraid you'll trick me!"
She didn't say the last part out loud, but the system became anxious. "Don't you trust my people... no! My system's integrity!"
Qin Jiujiu: "I don't trust you!"
Without the slightest hesitation, her words came out.
