[Whether it's a soul-locking array or a human-locking array, as long as it's a formation, it can be broken with one click. Now it only takes a reasonable price of 100 points to easily break the formation. Come and try it.]
The fancy promotional slogan successfully attracted Ning Wan's attention, and she even suspected that Tongzi, who was with her, had some side job that she didn't know about.
Xiao Qi coughed lightly and said, "Host, please don't misunderstand me. Xiao Qi wouldn't introduce it this way. This is its own promotional effect."
After hearing Xiao Qi's explanation, Ning Wan agreed without hesitation. It was only a hundred points, and even if she used them, she would still have five hundred.
Although the products produced by the system are often a bit deceptive, Ning Wan was not deceived this time. Instead, she successfully rescued the man and the fox.
Ning Wan frowned slightly as she looked at He Song, who was still unconscious after being fed several Qi-replenishing pills.
This mission was really troublesome. She thought she only had to save people, but she didn't expect that she had to wait for this person to wake up, and even had to avoid him seeing a second person besides her the moment he woke up.
What did he say about not letting He Song see who saved him? What if he doesn’t know who saved him?
How would she know what to do? She had no intention of repaying the favor. To be honest, she was only willing to save people because of the punishment for the mission.
To put it more bluntly, she was afraid of death, which was her original intention in saving He Song.
She doesn't have any particularly noble qualities, but she can still befriend others without any concern even after knowing that the other person has bad intentions towards her.
If it weren't for the punishment for this mission, she would most likely have just lay obediently on the bed, waiting for Shen Jinggu to come back, and then trick him into telling her the hunter's secret.
As for He Song, she would at most mention him when other people were present, but would never come to him in person.
Ning Wan is a person who holds grudges by nature. Maybe she doesn't care about something at the moment, but she will suddenly bring up old grudges in the future.
However, after hearing this, Xiao Qi only said one sentence: "If it is mistakenly believed that someone else rescued him, the mission will automatically be considered a failure."
Ning Wan: “…”
Seeing that the host fell silent, Xiao Qi knew that this mission was a bit too much.
After all, the host planned to return to the inn after rescuing people, so that the male protagonist would not find out that the host had run away with the demon-trapping lock.
But now the host's plan to conceal the truth is forced to end.
[Host, you've probably read a lot of clichés, right? For example, the male protagonist is rescued and pledges his love to someone else, but ends up identifying with the wrong person; the male supporting character is rescued and protects him for life, but ends up identifying with the wrong person; the villain is rescued to avenge his benefactor, but ends up identifying with the wrong person again.]
[So, host, Xiaoqi begs you to be patient. He Song will wake up soon.]
Xiaoqi's tone was calm, but more of it was helplessness.
I am helpless not because of the host, but because I cannot help the host.
In fact, Xiao Qi had one more thing to say: After the host completes the task, even if he wants to throw He Song onto the mountain to feed the wolves, he will not say a word.
Unfortunately, this sentence cannot be said.
After hearing Xiao Qi's words, Ning Wan felt that He Song was most likely a villain, a major one at that. She went to great lengths to confirm that she had saved him, in order to win him over and prevent him from becoming her enemy.
As for the reason, she is not clear yet.
But based on her many years of experience in reading memorials, the truth of the matter was definitely close to her guess.
If you think about it carefully, He Song does have all the qualities to become a villain.
"Host, although Xiao Qi cannot confirm the host's true intention in saving He Song, Xiao Qi is certain that He Song is definitely not a villain, let alone a major villain." Xiao Qi said, then paused for a moment before speaking again:
【And He Song definitely doesn't have what it takes to be a villain.】
[Host, do you remember the plot's description of this ordeal? He Song's accident happened during this time. He was at best a cannon fodder with lofty ambitions but a fragile life, or even a marginal figure.]
Ning Wan: ...Hmm? I really didn't expect that. So, her broken engagement in the plot couldn't have anything to do with He Song, right?
Thinking of the reason why she was broken off from engagement in the original novel, Ning Wan looked at the unconscious He Song. With this thought, her right hand fell on He Song's jaw, and with force of her fingers, she pinched his mouth open, and then quickly threw a blood-replenishing pill into his mouth.
Forget it. What she lacks the least now is these elixirs and the like. Even if she eats them as meals every day, it won’t be a problem to eat them for a hundred years.
He Song lost too much blood.
When she first saw him, she suspected that the man lying in a pool of blood was already dead. It was not until she placed her fingers on his neck and felt a faint pulse that she felt relieved.
Fortunately, we made it in time and the mission has not failed.
However, the wounds on his body, caused by some unknown blade, kept bleeding, and some blood got on her hands.
Ning Wan frowned and glanced at the four-tailed fox huddled aside, "...You didn't hurt it, did you?" However, a fox spirit was different. Upon hearing this, the fox immediately raised its head and shook it at Ning Wan.
Ning Wan sighed softly, feeling that the fox in front of her was very strange.
According to the setting of this world, a fox has four tails, each tail lasts for a hundred years, with the nine-tailed fox being the most powerful. How could it be possible that after four hundred years of cultivation, it has no demonic power at all?
She originally thought that the fox demon had been locked up for so long that it had forgotten how to use its power, but now it seems that this is not the case.
But he had already taken these pills, including the Qi-replenishing pill, the blood-replenishing pill, the Ten-fold Tonic Pill... the only thing missing was the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill.
Is he not going to wake up?
Ning Wan wondered if her method was too gentle. She should try something more brutal, like reaching out to shake him awake, or splashing some water on him to make him sober, or using the pain awakening method, like pinching his wound?
Xiao Qi heard the host's inner voice:...Sure enough, in some ways, the host is still the same host as before, and still has a little bit of abnormal factor.
