"No, I have to think of something. We can't stay like this; it's too passive."

“Brother Nanxun, it’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. Whatever happens, we’ll face it together. Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire, I’ll go with you.”

Lin Qing looked at Gu Nanxun seriously and said that she knew her brother Nanxun must be blaming himself again for not being able to protect himself.

"fool!"

Gu Nanxun ruffled Lin Qing's hair and said with a smile.

His Qingqing was such a silly girl; he never doubted that she would despise him for dragging her down.

"I'm not stupid! Because Brother Nanxun is worth it."

When Gu Nanxun called her a fool, Lin Qing shook her head and objected.

Brother Nanxun, you've just forgotten how good you were to me. In fact, the good I did for you wasn't even a fraction of what you did for me.

"Okay, my Qingqing isn't stupid, I'm just too lucky."

Gu Nanxun spoke gently upon hearing Lin Qing's words.

Isn't she a silly girl? She's so devoted to me, not even afraid of misplaced affection. But thankfully it's me; if it were someone else, wouldn't she have gotten hurt? She still loves me! I will never let her down, silly girl.

"Nanxun-ge, let's go into the space!"

After saying that, Lin Qing led Gu Nanxun into the space.

"System, is there anything that can save my life?"

"No, the host can try asking in the trading dimension."

"He Rui, Sister Zhaoruo, are you there?"

After hearing the system's words, Lin Qing directly addressed He Rui and Lin Zhaoruo in the group chat.

"Hey miss, I'm here."

"Qingqing, is something the matter?"

"I'm in a bit of danger right now, and I'd like to ask if you have any life-saving items."

Seeing He Rui and Lin Zhaoruo replying to messages together, Lin Qing quickly asked.

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have received a gift. Would you like to claim it?"

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have received a gift. Would you like to claim it?"

Lin Qing received two gifts as soon as she sent the message.

"Qingqing, I have a gift for you. Please see if you need it and if you can use it."

"Miss, I also have a gift for you. See if you can use it."

"Thank you so much! I'm going to look at the gifts now."

Seeing the gifts from He Rui and Lin Zhaoruo, Lin Qing said with a touch of emotion.

She never expected that a friend she had never met—or rather, an online friend—would be able to provide immediate assistance when she needed it.

"receive!"

As soon as Lin Qing finished speaking, a large gift box appeared in her hands. Its heavy weight almost made Lin Qing fall over, but fortunately Gu Nanxun caught her in time.

Lin Qing placed the wooden box on the table.

"What's this?"

Seeing the wooden box that Lin Qing suddenly appeared in his hand, Gu Nanxun asked curiously?

"This was given to me by my sister Lin Zhaoruo."

Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's question, Lin Qing explained to him.

"Lin Zhaoruo?"

Gu Nanxun asked, puzzled, "Who is this Lin Zhaoruo? I've never heard of her before."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, Sister Lin Zhaoruo is the sister in the ancient world I just opened up. She's a concubine, and she's incredibly beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Really? Then she can only rank second."

"Why?"

After hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing asked curiously, "Does Brother Nanxun know an even prettier young lady?"

Thinking of this, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. She would never admit that she was jealous.

"Because the one in front of me is the most beautiful, the most gorgeous."

Gu Nanxun looked at Lin Qingwei, who was pouting and looking unhappy, and said...

"It's good that you know this. You'd better treat me well from now on."

After hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing said with a proud expression.

Hmph... You have good taste. Lin Qing felt that she had changed a lot.

At first, she felt embarrassed when Gu Nanxun said sweet words to her, but now she's getting more and more shameless.

"Absolutely. I've found the most beautiful person in the world, so I have to cherish and protect him like a treasure."

Looking at Lin Qing's proud and aloof expression, Gu Nanxun spoke gently.

"Alright, let's see what Sister Zhaoruo gave me."

After speaking, Lin Qing looked down at the box on the table, which was also made of sandalwood.

"Sister Zhaoruo is really rich; even the gift boxes are made of sandalwood."

While talking to Gu Nanxun, Lin Qing opened the box in her hand. The box was very large, and Lin Qing opened it carefully.

Inside the box was a sword, a woman's soft armor, three bottles of pills, and a note.

Lin Qing picked up the note and saw some words written on it that she couldn't understand.

System translation

"This translation requires ten points. Do you need them, host?"

"Never mind, I'll just ask Sister Zhaoruo instead!"

"Sister Zhaoruo, what does this entry say? I don't understand it."

“I forgot, this is our local script.”

"The note I wrote was an introduction to the pills. The blue bottle was poison. After taking it, a person will slowly weaken and die without any cause being found, and there is no antidote."

The green bottle contains muscle-relaxing powder. When in danger, if you sprinkle it out, any enemy who gets even a little bit on it will lose all their strength and be at the mercy of others. It will take 72 hours for them to recover their strength.
