Chapter 5 The Witch Boy 4

Xu Qiuqiu didn't let go of Qi Chen's hand. She bit her lip, thought about the story she had just made up in her mind, and said, "Young master, you don't know, I was brought here by a bad man, and he comes to bully me every now and then..."

She tried to squeeze out a few tears, but couldn't. She then made a pitiful face, saying, "He locked me up here, saying he'd imprison me here for all eternity. I'm so scared. I pray every day, praying that someone will rescue me from this cage..."

After saying that, she let go of Qi Chen's hand, lowered her head and slowly began to sob. While sobbing, she said to 003 in her mind, "003, can you give me some eye drops? I can't cry!"

"Okay, host!" 003 used the Tears skill on Xu Qiuqiu.

She immediately felt a sting in her eyes, and tears welled up involuntarily. She couldn't let this opportunity slip by. She raised her head and looked at Qi Chen with tearful eyes. "Young Master, I believe you've come to save me, haven't you?"

Qi Chen stiffened as she hugged him, but listening to her story and seeing Xu Qiuqiu's eyes full of trust and aggrieved expression, all his shyness vanished.

He felt angry for the first time and wanted to beat up the person who bullied the girl in red. When he saw Xu Qiuqiu's tears, his heart tightened and he felt particularly uncomfortable.

"Don't be afraid, girl, I'll save you," Qi Chen assured her. "I'll take you out now!"

As he spoke, Qi Chen raised his hand. Xu Qiuqiu wanted to dodge, but then she felt she needed his help, so she had no choice but to obediently continue looking at him with expectant eyes.

With his slender hand, Qi Chen gently wiped away the tears on Xu Qiuqiu's cheeks, carefully, as if afraid of frightening her. He soothed her gently, "Miss, don't cry. I'll take you out."

Xu Qiuqiu was stunned by Qi Chen's gentle treatment. Was she too good at acting, or was he too easy to fool? Although the boy's eyes were somewhat tempting, escaping was still the priority!

"Young master is so kind." She smiled brightly at Qi Chen. "Then take me out."

"Hmm." Qi Chen looked at her smile and felt a little better. He said to Xu Qiuqiu, "Girl, stay close to me."

After Qi Chen finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the bamboo forest. Xu Qiuqiu quickly followed. Perhaps because he was used to walking, Qi Chen walked a little fast, and Xu Qiuqiu had to jog to keep up.

Qi Chen was unaware that he only wanted to get the girl in red out of there as soon as possible so that she wouldn't suffer here, so he walked faster than usual.

He didn't use his lightness skill directly, after all, he knew that the girl in red might not know martial arts. However, he completely ignored the fact that she was a martial artist. He usually walked quite fast, let alone now that he had quickened his pace.

As Xu Qiuqiu jogged to catch up, she complained to 003, "003, although I also want to get out of here quickly, does this guy even know how to be considerate of women? Just because he has long legs doesn't mean he can be so great. He's walking so fast, I'm about to die of exhaustion!" She had almost been tempted just now.

"Host, why don't you have him carry you out?" 003 suggested, looking at Xu Qiuqiu who was almost sweating from exhaustion.

"Great idea!" Xu Qiuqiu gave 003 a thumbs up.

Xu Qiuqiu looked at the purple figure in front of her and tripped and fell flat on her face, "Ouch!"

The girl in red clutched her foot with one hand and said softly, "I think I sprained my ankle..."

Qi Chen stopped when he heard the noise and immediately returned to Xu Qiuqiu's side. Seeing her frowning and looking at him with discomfort, he asked worriedly, "Miss, is it serious?"

Qi Chen wanted to check on Xu Qiuqiu's injuries, but he felt that doing so would offend the girl in red.

Although he had never been with other girls, he had heard that girls in the Central Plains valued chastity highly, and that if you saw a girl's feet, you had to take responsibility for marrying her.

Xu Qiuqiu had no idea what Qi Chen was thinking. She simply said, looking aggrieved, "Young Master, I think I might not be able to walk anymore..."

Qi Chen didn't know what to do either, so he could only say, "Why don't you rest for a while, young lady?"

Xu Qiuqiu felt like vomiting blood. She now understood that Qi Chen couldn't understand her meaning at all unless he said it outright. She tried to put on a shy expression, "I don't want to stay here. Why don't you carry me on your back, young master?"

Having said that, not wanting to cause any more trouble, she intensified her attack, saying, "I don't want to stay here for another second. I'm so scared. I want to get out of here quickly. Young master, can you carry me out?"

"Please."

After saying that, she looked at Qi Chen again and said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

Seeing the girl in red pleading with him and trusting him, Qi Chen felt that if she wanted the moon, he would pluck it down from the sky and give it to her.

"Miss, I apologize for the intrusion." Qi Chen squatted down, and Xu Qiuqiu, who was out of Qi Chen's sight, secretly climbed onto his back with a smile, wrapped her arms around his neck, and Qi Chen grabbed Xu Qiuqiu's legs with both hands, and she pressed herself firmly against Qi Chen's back.

Xu Qiuqiu felt comfortable, finally she didn't have to walk by herself anymore. She originally thought she would have to outwit and outmaneuver the male lead Qi Gu Nan, but now she had a free and easy laborer to take her out, which was really great.

However, this bamboo forest maze was truly intricate. Even with her exceptional memory, she was still a bit confused and couldn't remember things very clearly due to Qi Chen's rapid pace.

She suddenly remembered that this was a martial arts world, where almost everyone knew martial arts. So, if she had followed her thinking from yesterday, the male lead, Qi Gu Nan, would probably have carried her out of the maze at lightning speed, and she probably wouldn't have even had a chance to see him clearly.

She felt fortunate to have met Qi Chen. Once she got out of this world, she would definitely learn some martial arts. She might not be so lucky in the next world. Only by having the ability to protect herself could she have the strength to break the original plot.

Xu Qiuqiu felt comfortable, but Qi Chen felt a little uncomfortable. The girl in red was not heavy at all, and her body was soft and pliable. She was pressed so tightly against him, and there was warm breath coming from his neck.

His ears turned red again, and he cursed himself inwardly for thinking such nonsense at a time like this, but the heat on his face and the redness in his ears did not subside.

Qi Chen was getting a little impatient from this annoying trouble, so he decided to use his lightness skill to get out of there as quickly as possible.

Startled by Qi Chen's sudden acceleration, Xu Qiuqiu clung even tighter to him, her head pressed even closer together, as if afraid she might accidentally fall.
