Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 422 - 414: Lost While Escaping

The big guy who is familiar with Cheng Xiaoxiao is called Rhino.

And at this moment, he has been assigned to lead people in collecting firewood.

This place is where they temporarily decided to solve their lunchtime needs, not a campsite.

So all materials needed must be procured by oneself.

Additionally, one can also check whether there are any edible wild mushrooms nearby.

Cheng Xiaoxiao is naturally among this group, finally seizing the opportunity, she will definitely retreat.

"Everyone be careful, don’t go too far, if there’s any danger, just yell." Rhino instructed, and the dozen disciples dispersed.

Back to the others, Cheng Xiaoxiao walked further, soon leaving the crowd and heading into the dense forest.

Initially cautiously, not daring to make a big move, until she separated a distance, she started running.

Everyone was carrying firewood back to the team, only Cheng Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be seen for a long time.

Rhino told the junior brothers to head back while he went to find her.

"Junior Brother Xiao, Junior Brother Xiao!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao completely ignored Rhino’s calls from behind in the forest.

Her agile figure darted through the woods, quickly becoming a faint trail of light, disappearing into the dense forest.

Not knowing how long she had been running, she wanted to follow the path in her memory back to the small road they had come from earlier.

Unfortunately, she ran out too urgently earlier, not knowing how far she had gone, she went in circles for a long time without finding her marked path.

Kept walking, kept walking, not knowing where the way back was anymore.

The panic in her heart grew stronger, could she be lost in such a forest?

This is no joke, the system is not here now, she can only rely on herself.

She finally found a populated place, how could she be trapped in the dense forest with no way out?

But the more one fears something, the more it happens.

Cheng Xiaoxiao found herself truly lost, unable to find the way back, dejectedly sitting on a large stone.

Pursing her lips, drooping her face, saying nothing.

Depressed for quite a while, she took out the Crystal Pendant, shaking it left and right.

"Boss, boss, are you there?"

Continuing the movement in her hand, seemingly unwilling to stop until the other party is dizzy.

"Boss, boss, which way should I go?"

"I am lost now, what do I do? You are so powerful, why don’t you come out and guide me?"

Seeing her mouth parched from talking, the other party still ignored her.

Looks like flattery doesn’t work, she needs to bring out the big guns.

She unfolded a folding small table, then placed the Crystal Pendant on top.

Opened the shopping mall page.

Click, click, click.

She didn’t believe it.

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Quickly, a bunch of delicacies appeared on the table, aroma wafting, deliciously tempting, making one’s mouth water.

Cheng Xiaoxiao pretended to prepare to enjoy the food, silently counting in her heart, just when she counted to ten, someone suddenly appeared leisurely on the opposite side of the table.

Sure enough, only a gourmand can be dealt with using a gourmand’s method.

Faced with such temptation, who can resist?

"What is this?" the boss asked expressionlessly.

"Steak, red wine, salad, Western pastry."

Cheng Xiaoxiao gracefully used knife and fork, cutting the steak into small pieces.

Taking a sip of red wine, feeling extremely relaxed.

The long-lost taste remained sweet and mellow, leaving endless aftertastes.

Mo Xiaoyi attempted to cut the steak in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s manner, but his movements were stiff, his technique unfamiliar, nearly causing the steak to fly, and he exerted too much force, splitting the plate underneath in two.

Cheng Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, wanting to laugh but not daring.

"Need help?" Cheng Xiaoxiao kindly asked, eyes slightly narrowed.

Mo Xiaoyi instinctively felt she was making fun of him.

But the boss is an all-rounder, how could he be defeated by a mere plate of steak.

When the third steak was placed before him, he finally managed to control his strength, cutting the steak into even rectangular sizes.

Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a bit envious, just something to eat, why cut so neatly?

A grumble is just a grumble, she still opened her mouth to please.

"Boss, this steak tastes good, right? Definitely a delicacy you’ve never tasted before."

The other party didn’t say yes or no, Cheng Xiaoxiao continued.

"Boss, look, we’re so familiar now, shouldn’t we help each other? Could you tell me where the exit is? I seem to be lost."

Cheng Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly, the other party’s ethereal temperament, elegant moves, making her fall once every time she looked, that face with seemingly eight times the filter, made her sinful hands itch.

Alas, she didn’t have the courage to flirt, only able to fantasize in her heart.

After waiting for a while, she blinked her big eyes, watching the other party elegantly finish the tiramisu with a spoon, but still didn’t get the answer she wanted.

She started getting anxious.

"Boss, Mo Yan True Monarch, can’t you help me?"

Why can’t this person understand, know what it means to eat with a soft hand, take with a short hand?

If the system was here, would she need to beg him?

Meeting Cheng Xiaoxiao’s eager eyes, Mo Xiaoyi’s disdain was evident in his gaze.

"Too useless!"

Seeing the boss throw down two words, about to disappear, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s heart tightened, she rushed forward, wanting to grasp the arm that was about to disappear, but caught nothing.

The boss left as gracefully as when he came.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was furious, what did it mean she was too useless?

She is just a mere mortal, how could she compare with those practiced in cultivation?

He couldn’t use their standards to measure her, really perplexing.

Ate her things and still cursed, where is such a good deal?

She didn’t believe it, she couldn’t handle this wandering spirit.

"Come out and make it clear, who are you calling too useless?"

The pendant showed no response, her mood deteriorated.

"Not speaking? Well fine, it’s still a personal attack. You’re so amazing, aren’t you still in this situation, don’t know what the fuss is about."

Cheng Xiaoxiao, enraged, forgot the terrifying cultivation strength of the other party, started speaking recklessly, daring to say anything out loud.

Even as her mouth dried, the other party remained unmoved.

Eyes dangerously fixed on the Crystal Pendant on the table, wishing she could stare a hole into it.

"You’re hiding? So good at hiding, aren’t you? Think hiding in the pendant will make everything fine?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao lifted the pendant’s cord, using her keen five senses, soon found the direction of the water source.

She moved quickly, running through the dense forest, arriving by a secluded pool, throwing the Crystal Pendant in an arc into the water pool.

Silently shouting in her heart: Beg me, beg me, beg me and I’ll fish you out.

A small splash.

Tiny water droplets scattered.

Soon, the surface of the water returned to calm.

Cheng Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged, eyes fixed unwaveringly on the tranquil pool surface.

The water shimmered, green as jade, deep as the sea.

Time ticked away.

A half-hour passed, the water surface remained quiet.

Two hours turned into sunset, the sky gradually darkened.

No need to breathe when hiding in the pendant?

Aren’t you afraid of drowning?

Aren’t you afraid something underwater will eat you?

Seeing this method didn’t work, someone grunted while fishing the Crystal Pendant up from the water.
