Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 80: First Kill

Leng Qi leaped forward and swiftly rescued the young man who deliberately provoked the mountain bandits, ready to meet death.

The bandit with the whip was instantly defeated, dying with his eyes wide open, spraying blood onto the young man’s face. He stood there in a daze, the scent of blood making his stomach churn, yet the sight of his enemy’s corpse excited him.

The death of a comrade alerted Scarface, "Who goes there?"

Haha! "Dead!"

"Good riddance!"

"Dead... Lady Yuan, for Lady Yuan."

The young man, disregarding his blood-stained body, immediately wanted to rush down to save Lady Yuan. He barely got up before falling down again, yet his firm resolve carried him stumbling down the mountain.

At that moment, Leng Qi and Scarface were locked in battle. It turned out Scarface had some skill, with five bandit henchmen aiding him nearby. Leng Qi couldn’t quickly finish Scarface off.

The sounds of fighting reached those down the mountain, prompting the henchmen to quickly notify Cheng the Sixth.

Meanwhile, Cheng the Sixth had already torn Lady Yuan’s clothes into shreds, revealing her fair skin underneath. Her hands were bound, and her mouth was stuffed with rags, rendering her struggles futile, only able to make muffled sounds, with despair filling her eyes.

"Sixth Master! Sixth Master, things aren’t good! They’re fighting up there."

Cheng the Sixth was just about to proceed further when he was interrupted by the henchman, clearly displeased, "Scarface’s business is none of my damn concern."

"But Sixth Master, if anything were to happen, the boss would blame us..."

His actions paused for a moment, Cheng the Sixth had no choice but to order, "Damn it, you guys go help him."

Then he resumed his actions...

"Yes... yes!" The henchman, seeing that the Sixth Master did not intend to act personally, had to awkwardly gather some men.

The young man descending the mountain happened to run into four bandits coming up.

"Damn, this bastard, still trying to ruin the Sixth Master’s good time, what wishful thinking." One of them said, hitting the young man on the back of the neck with his hand, knocking him out.

System: "Wow! How is that man so useless?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was also anxious, "What’s the point of coming if it’s just to get killed? What do we do? That short and ugly man actually isn’t helping."

Looking up halfway, Scarface was alone, and more were on their way. By the time he finishes them off, will he still have time to come back and save this woman?

Afraid they wouldn’t make it, Cheng Xiaoxiao had to quietly approach. The spot chosen by the short ugly man was actually near Cheng Xiaoxiao’s side.

Cheng Xiaoxiao approached quickly, hiding behind the small hill.

At such a close distance, if it weren’t for the short ugly man being engrossed, he would have spotted Cheng Xiaoxiao, while on Leng Qi’s side, Scarface knew he couldn’t win and was struggling to hold his ground. Just then, people from Cheng the Sixth came to help.

Catching the chance, he fled up the mountain, leaving those behind to be killed, buying him time to escape.

System: "Oh no, Scarface ran away, Leng Qi went after him, he might not make it back in time to help."

Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t worry about so much now; if they didn’t stop it, the woman would be doomed. In ancient times, a woman’s chastity was more important than her life.

"Stop!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao picked up a thick tree branch as a weapon, appearing straight in front of the short ugly man.

The short ugly man was taken aback, about to flare up, when he looked up and saw a pretty little lady holding a ridiculous branch pointing at him.

"Hahaha!"

As soon as the short ugly man saw the charming beauty in front, he recognized she was a genuine article and grew excited. Cheng the Sixth couldn’t believe his luck that such a pretty little lady was sent to him by heaven, so much better than the tattered goods at his feet, with her striking seductive eyes and lively, beautiful eyes, she could be taken back home as a legitimate wife.

"Hahaha! Heaven saw how lonely he was and sent this beautiful little lady to him."

"Little beauty, come, come, let me pamper you."

Resolutely abandoning the pleading woman beneath him, he walked towards Cheng Xiaoxiao.

His lecherous expression, drooling saliva, disgusted Cheng Xiaoxiao heavily.

Cheng Xiaoxiao decisively ran back, the short ugly man chasing after her, "Little beauty, don’t run, you can’t escape!"

While running, and communicating with the system, Cheng Xiaoxiao instructed nervously, "77, make sure to time it perfectly, not a second off, understand?"

The system understood.

The excited short ugly man was quickly catching up to Cheng Xiaoxiao.

System: "Host, 3-2-1, hit!"

Indeed, when Cheng Xiaoxiao descended the mountain earlier, she placed several medium-sized rocks into her inventory. Just as the short ugly man was about to grab her, Cheng Xiaoxiao stopped abruptly, turned around, and smashed a rock at the man’s forehead.

Blood immediately flowed down from the short ugly man’s forehead. He wiped it with his hand, "Damn it, you stinking bitch, dared to ambush me."

He retaliated with a slap, catching Cheng Xiaoxiao off-guard.

Damn! This... why didn’t he faint? This... this isn’t what was expected!

After watching so many TV dramas, why did people faint with a slight hit, yet this man acts like nothing happened, even with a bloody head?

This isn’t logical...

Seeing the slap coming down, Cheng Xiaoxiao, unable to run in time, could only block with her arm. She got slapped to the ground and quickly crawled backward, ignoring the pain in her arm. Just as she tried to stand up and run again, her ankle was grabbed by the short ugly man, "Bitch, let’s see how I deal with you today."

"Ah!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao, her heart now filled with fear, kicked frantically with her other foot, trying to free her captured ankle from the vile hand. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Since coming to this world, she had never faced something so terrifying.

She struggled fiercely, shouting for help.

Although she had a contingency, in that moment, her panic was all too real!

She possessed a dagger given by Yanlan. In an emergency, she could suddenly take it out and wound her opponent, escaping without issue.

Yet she was both frightened and furious. Frightened because she’d already ambushed the short ugly man once; if she failed this time, her ability to conjure objects might be exposed. Furious because this man was so filthy, revolting her to the core, pressing down on her, making her want to vomit!

Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t take it any longer. The man started tearing at her clothes, his bloated, greasy face getting closer.

"Ah!"

With Cheng Xiaoxiao’s sharp scream, the blade pierced into flesh.

Thud!

Blood poured over her hand, staining her clothes crimson.

After a while, feeling the man on her not moving, the blood still trickling down her hand, her heart nearly stopped.

Did she... did she really kill him?

Is he dead?

The system calmly remarked, "Host, this person is dead."

So quick?

Her mind went blank, her face turning pale, her whole body trembling.

She... she... she wasn’t ready!

Hearing Cheng Xiaoxiao scream, Leng Qi had just finished Scarface with a sword.

His heart skipped, oh no!

Utilizing Qinggong to its fullest, his figure vanished, only to reappear in the distance, rushing towards Cheng Xiaoxiao’s location. From afar, he saw Cheng Xiaoxiao lying on the ground under a man.

Leng Qi’s eyes were blood-red, "How dare you!"

His expression was as dark as could be, the chill in his eyes like an unyielding glacier, threatening to tear the offending man to pieces.
