Chapter 163
Yan Qing still hesitated, "Sister Qi, I'm not comfortable leaving you alone."
"Don't worry," Qi Huan adjusted her collar and winked at Yan Qing.
At her hint, Yan Qing suddenly remembered that Sister Qi had a magical artifact.
Sister Qi wasn't human!
She was a little fairy.
"Alright... Sister Qi, wait for me here. I'll come back for you after I've settled them."
Instead of answering, Qi Huan urged her to quickly get on the carriage and return to Yunzhou City as soon as possible.
After the sound of hooves faded into the distance, Qi Huan stored the corpses in the second compartment of the carriage space.
She had previously kept Dao Qi and the others there, which made her feel uneasy, so she hadn't used it since.
Until today, when she stored the bodies of two more villains.
"Host, please don't store all this messy garbage in the space. Why didn't you keep those girls to help dig holes together?"
"Without hoes, it would be too much trouble to dig. Once I enter Mi Mountain, I'll immediately throw these two corpses deep into the mountains. I'll be quick, just bear with it for a while!"
"Fine," the system compromised.
What else could it do but indulge its own host?
Changing the subject, it began to honestly report the point breakdown: "Good deed +1, points +1. Good deed +1, points +1. Good deed +1, points +50..."
Qi Huan gained a total of 110 points.
Punishing two human traffickers earned her two points.
Saving ten girls earned her eight one-point rewards and two fifty-point rewards.
No one knew better than her what fifty points meant.
Fifty points equaled saving a life.
In other words, if she hadn't coincidentally encountered this situation, two of these girls would have taken their own lives.
Human traffickers were truly despicable!
Qi Huan mounted her horse and looked in the direction the carriage had gone, sincerely saying:
"May there be no more kidnapping in this world."
She didn't wait for Yan Qing. After Yan Qing returned, Yan Ge would surely come after her.
She didn't want to be under house arrest again.
Even though the road ahead was treacherous, she was willing to risk everything for Shu.
Qi Huan raised the reins and rode along the main road.
As she approached the foot of Mi Mountain, she reined in her horse and took out her telescope.
Seeing two groups of people fighting in the distance, she removed her necklace, tied it securely to the saddle, and tucked it in further.
She bent down to stroke the horse's mane, whispering gently, "Try your best to rush forward, and I'll treat you to some grass later."
The horse nuzzled her palm affectionately.
Qi Huan smiled, took out a silver needle from her space, and pricked the horse's rear.
At the same time, she instantly flashed back into her space.
Struck by pain, the horse was both startled and angry, galloping wildly.
After running for about a kilometer, it encountered the assassins and guards engaged in a bloody battle. The horse became even more panicked and ran forward desperately.
Both the assassins and guards were stunned.
They thought: What a strange horse!
Why is it running so fast?
Why is no one riding it?
The guards of the Yunying Caravan were the first to come to their senses, stabbing an assassin with a knife.
As the blade fell, a splash of blood arose.
The assassin fell to the ground, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes, his last unfinished words being:
Stupid horse ruined me!
Two hours later, the horse gradually exhausted its strength and slowly came to a stop.
Qi Huan pricked up her ears and listened. Outside the space, apart from the horse's panting and the sounds of birds and insects, there were no other noises.
But she continued to lurk for a while longer.
It wasn't until her watch showed it was 8 p.m. that she quietly exited the space under the cover of night.
The first thing she did after leaving the space was to untie the necklace.
Then she jumped off the horse's back and apologetically stroked its rear.
The horse turned its head away, refusing to look at her.
Qi Huan went around to the front and patted its head, "The wild grass here is lush. Enjoy it. We'll meet again if fate allows."
She needed to go up the mountain, and bringing the horse along would be inconvenient.
So, she left the horse to graze here, turned around, found a crooked tree, and tied the necklace to an inconspicuous spot on a branch.
Compared to horses, trees were more common and wouldn't attract much attention from others.
Moreover, trees couldn't run away, so she chose this spot as a temporary base, waiting for daybreak to ascend the mountain.
The late October night wind was biting cold. Qi Huan pulled her cloak tighter and looked up at the hazy moonlight, her heart filled with melancholy.
She wondered if Shu had warm clothes.
Had he been injured?
As the night deepened, she flashed into her space, ate some biscuits, and began counting sheep to fall asleep.
She needed to replenish her energy to search for Shu on the mountain tomorrow.
When she woke up the next day and had breakfast, she asked the system, "Has anyone ever bought a ghillie suit?"
In her previous life, she had seen videos on TikTok of adorable children wearing real-life ghillie suits, moving through the greenery in their neighborhoods.
At the time, she thought it was just fun, but now she desperately hoped that someone in her delivery list had bought one.
Soon, the system gave her the answer she wanted.
While deducting seventy-six points, a large package dropped onto the passenger seat beside her.
Qi Huan excitedly rubbed her hands together and opened it, only to find it was a children's version!
...
Fortunately, as long as she had enough points, the system could exchange it.
After paying another ten points, she got a ghillie suit that fit her.
After purchasing the equipment, Qi Huan first changed into thermal underwear, then put on the ghillie suit, and finally put on her sneakers before silently exiting the space.
In the misty morning, she began to advance stealthily.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from ahead.
Qi Huan lay flat in the bushes, quietly hiding her necklace under the withered fallen leaves, alertly watching the direction of the sound.
Then, a pheasant with gorgeous feathers entered her field of vision.
Oh, it was just food.
Given the time and place, she had no intention of catching it to eat.
Turning her gaze away, she took out her telescope and surveyed the surroundings. However, apart from some birds and beasts, there was nothing else in the view presented by the lens.
Qi Huan put away the telescope and used her Swiss Army knife to quietly carve a heart shape on the nearby tree trunk as a marker.
She had once given Shu papers full of red hearts, so he would surely recognize this symbol.
On the other hand, it would also help her find her way back on the return journey.
In the tall, dense forest, identifying directions was crucial, and fortunately, there was a complimentary compass in the telescope case.
She held the compass and began searching in one direction.
Qi Huan walked on and off, occasionally raising her telescope to look around. When encountering danger, she would first hide her necklace, then retreat into her space.
She had water and food, as well as a place to rest, so she wasn't worried at all.
The only thing that made her anxious was that she still couldn't find Shu.
Instead, she came across a scattered scene of dismembered corpses.
She put on her mask and hid behind a tree trunk, carefully examining the corpses on the ground.
The bodies were still fresh, indicating that Shu hadn't left yet. Otherwise, whether assassins or secret guards, they would have retreated.
The blood-stained blade edges suggested a fierce battle had taken place.
Qi Huan grew even more worried.
She raised her binoculars and scanned in all directions, trying to determine which path would lead her to Shu the fastest.
Suddenly, her pupils constricted sharply.
In the distant woods where branches intertwined, two figures were moving rapidly towards her position.
In a flash, she made her decision.
She took the necklace that had been wrapped around her palm and hung it on a dead tree branch, planting it in an open space near the corpses.
"Host, what dangerous behavior is this?"
"These two people, whether friend or foe, will be tracking Shu. Their lightness skills are good, they run fast, and they'll make suitable mounts."
