Chapter 206: Miss, Run Quickly
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was still early. After looking at the prawn basket, she was curious about the seeds that had been scattered not long ago, so she walked into the mountains according to her memory without hesitation. She thought that with the powerful backing of space, she would not encounter any danger alone. She could just hide in a flash if something happened.
Moreover, she didn’t run around. She just took a look nearby and would be back soon, so there was no need to tell her family to make them worry. She wouldn’t let them know that it would cause lingering fear.
With the plan working, her footsteps towards the mountains immediately became even lighter.
She did not notice that not long after she left, a figure followed.
Thinking that she was already here and that this mountain already belonged to her, Xiaoxiao dug out some tomatoes that were stronger than the ones outside from her space and planted them. She even took out two Golden Silk Royal Chrysanthemums that had already started to bud in her space. She planted them and split them at the same time.
She didn’t know if it was because the plants produced by the space were especially strong or if the Golden Silk Royal Chrysanthemum was full of vitality to begin with, but she didn’t take special care of the ones she split at home. They were all alive, so these should be fine.
At this moment, the space was like an anti-addiction system. It thoughtfully reminded Xiaoxiao that the game time was up and asked her if it was time to go back. She did not want to ruin the joy of playing alone in the future just because she was greedy for the planting experience. She got up, patted the mud off her clothes, and prepared to walk back.
She had only taken two or three steps when she suddenly felt goosebumps on her back. At the same time, a notification from the space made her shiver: [Ding, ingredient discovered—wild boar. Do you want to capture/process it?]
Before Xiaoxiao could react to the meaning of this notification, she turned around and instinctively jumped onto a tree beside her.
The appearance of the wild boar was very sudden and impactful.
This pig was not big, and it looked like its legs were inconvenient as if it had been injured. Its anger was exuberant, as if it had the hatred of annihilation. The moment it discovered Xiaoxiao, it rushed towards her.
Xiaoxiao had just steadied herself by holding onto the tree trunk when she felt a violent shake. From the way the wild boar shook its head, it should have used all its strength in this collision.
“What grudges do we have?”
After muttering, Xiaoxiao remembered her precious space. However, her current position was more awkward. It was easy to enter, and if there was any deviation when she came out, she would have to fall. Helpless, she could only hug the tree trunk and wait for this boar to calm down—whether it was anger or strength.
After the wild boar hit the tree trunk 10 times, it probably couldn’t take it anymore. It spun on the spot and roared helplessly. Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was in the mood to take out a cornbread from her space and play with it.
The wild boar on the ground twitched its nose and looked up instinctively.
On the other side, Rong Yan, who had just finished talking with County Magistrate Shen, found that Yun Yi kept looking at him in panic. For various reasons, everyone avoided them when they talked. Even Rong Yan’s guards could only watch from afar.
After asking, he said, “Master, I think I saw Miss Ning enter the mountain just now…”
Rong Yan raised his eyebrows. “What did you say? She’s alone?”
Yun Yi nodded. “That’s right, Master. Should we inform her family?”
Rong Yan gritted his teeth. “No need. Call the others and get her back quickly.”
He added, “Be quick. Don’t tell anyone yet.”
It would be a waste of time to go back. Moreover, if the rest of the Ning Family found out, that girl would definitely be beaten up.
However, she deserved to be taught a lesson! Was the mountain a place she could go to as she pleased? Even if it was not dark yet, even if there were no jackals, tigers, and leopards near the mountain, it would not be a joke if she encountered poisonous snakes, insects, rats, and ants!
With the enhancement of Qinggong and their anxiety, Rong Yan and the others entered the mountain very quickly and even took a shortcut. Unexpectedly, they discovered the tracks of another group before they met Xiaoxiao.
Yun Er checked and reported, “It’s the Lei Family.”
Rong Yan frowned. “Lei Shaoming has a grudge against Ning Xiaoxiao. We can’t let him meet Xiaoxiao first.”
Unfortunately, Lei Shaoming was really near Xiaoxiao.
The servants held their sabers and swords, some of them were even red with blood. “Young Master, that person is seriously injured. He definitely can’t run far!”
Lei Shaoming’s face darkened. “Of course. Do I need you to say that? Find him for me. If you can’t find him, bring your heads to me!”
The servants were trembling in fear and did not dare to say a word. They hurriedly spread out and cut through the grass and bushes visible to the naked eye with their swords. They swore to dig three feet into the ground and not let go of any possibility.
Suddenly, someone looked in a certain direction in confusion. “Young Master, there seems to be some strange movement over there. Could that person have encountered a beast in the mountains?”
Lei Shaoming rubbed his shoulder, which was still in pain, and his anger rose. “Let’s go. We’ll kill him and the beast together!”
Before that old bastard Shen Congjun could get someone to hit him, he was assigned by his uncle to do this tiring work. However, he still hoped to use this opportunity to redeem himself so that he could regain Prefect Yan’s trust.
At this moment, he could find an excuse to vent his anger even if he met people, let alone wild animals. He has been too unlucky recently!
With a bang, the still hot com cakes fell to the ground with an appetizing fragrance. The tired and hungry wild boar did not have the ability to think at all. It followed the fragrance and rushed over to bite the food. Xiaoxiao saw this opportunity and slid down the tree trunk. She held her breath and raised her small hand. [Little baby, it’s up to you next. Don’t let me be knocked away by this thing.]
The space guaranteed: [Don’t worry, Master! I can handle it for you the moment your fingers touch the ingredient. I definitely won’t leave any momentum to hurt you!]
Xiaoxiao nodded. [Alright, activate the space processing plant and use the function—slaughter. ]
The wild boar finished its food in a few bites. When it turned around, it realized that the human hiding on the tree just now was actually stupid and audacious. It immediately dug its hind hooves twice, lowered its head, and rushed forward. Then, there was nothing else. Its life ended here. Fortunately, it did not feel any pain. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Just as the wild boar fell straight down, Xiaoxiao heard another space notification: [Someone is here.]
Without a word, she first stored the slaughtered wild boar into her space. Just as she was about to flash into the space, she saw a young man covered in blood staggering out from behind a tree not far away. When he saw Xiaoxiao, his first reaction was to turn around and run in the opposite direction.
During this pause, an arrow came from behind and pierced into his shoulder.
The young man fell in front of Xiaoxiao. He tried his best to hold on to his last bit of consciousness and muttered, “Miss, run. There’s a bad person…” After saying that, he fainted.
At the same time, a slightly familiar voice containing anger and killing intent came from the direction he ran from.
“Chase after him! The person our Lei Family wants can’t escape even if he has wings!”
