Chapter 42 The male protagonist is very disappointed



thing?

Lan Yao blinked and looked at Gu Zixiao blankly: "Comrade, are you talking to me?"

Oh~ Did this beautiful lady know she took something?

Really?

A murderous intent welled up in Lan Yao's heart.

She really enjoys messing with people; she can trick them without any guilt, which fits her kind-hearted persona perfectly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zixiao's smile deepened: "Otherwise what?"

It's like saying, 'Why did you say something so pointless? I didn't see it, why should I ask?'

The jade Pixiu exclaimed, "No way, no way! Did Master see it?"

"How should I know? But my left eye is being attacked by a blinding golden light. How can its golden light be so strong?"

From the moment this man appeared, Lan Yao could only vaguely see Gu Zixiao hidden in the golden light.

Jade Pixiu: "Master, you actually saw it? And his purple aura? Did you see it? Reminder, you've seen people with this kind of aura before, Master."

Lan Yao nodded: "I've met three. Currently, only Lan Jiaojiao can rival his luck."

Lan Yao was somewhat tempted: "...Can I have a taste?"

“…No.” The jade Pixiu refused without hesitation.

Good heavens! Good heavens! Has the owner gone mad? How could they possibly want to do something so dangerous?

"Why? Haven't we done it before?" Lan Yao expressed her incomprehension and even displeasure.

Jade Pixiu: "...The reason we were able to absorb Lan Jiaojiao's luck before was because you and Lan Jiaojiao had a karmic connection. To put it bluntly, Lan Jiaojiao owed you. So, although there would be a backlash when you absorbed her luck, you could still barely manage to influence it."

However, if you act recklessly and arbitrarily absorb the fortune of others, you will incur divine retribution.

Lan Yao said "Oh," and then raised a new question: "Before that, I also absorbed the luck of the men who helped Lan Jiaojiao."

Jade Pixiu: "Dear master, please use your clever little brain to think about why this is."

Lan Yao: ...

This jade Pixiu is getting more and more outrageous.

She thought for a moment, then reacted quickly: "You mean Lan Jiaojiao?"

"Bingou! Congratulations, Master. This is truly a cause for celebration. I thought Master's brain was going to be externalized. I was just about to ask if you wanted to exchange your abacus for one through the time-space trading device." The jade Pixiu said sarcastically.

Lan Yao ignored it, but after the jade pixiu's reminder, she said to the jade abacus, "Abacus, does the time-space trading device work? Buy me a palm-sized little wooden horse."

Jade Abacus's eyes sparkled with excitement as its master finally gave it a task. "Don't worry, master," it exclaimed, "I promise I'll complete the mission!"

Jade Abacus quickly found what its master wanted on the time-space trading device. With two yuan from this era, it bought a small wooden horse that was smaller than the palm of its hand and had a very antique feel.

To make it more realistic, it even incorporated a wisp of yin energy that lingered around the small wooden horse.

Meanwhile, Lan Yao, under Gu Zixiao's smiling gaze, calmly said, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Wang Qianqian, the girl next to Gu Zixiao, was already impatient: "Brother Xiao, let me tell you, she's a fraud. She clearly doesn't know anything, but she still pretends to save people. She treats human life like a game, Brother Xiao, you can't just ignore this."

Gu Zixiao didn't even spare a glance for Wang Qianqian, but smiled and said with a slight upturn of her lips, "Comrade, honesty is the foundation of being a person. Wasting time is pointless."

It's like saying, "I've got you. If you keep arguing, you'll only make yourself look like a fool."

Lan Yao said "Oh," and then her eyes lit up with realization: "You mean, you want to come and save people?"

Lan Yao readily stepped aside, shrugging her shoulders: "So you want to save people? No problem. As for the consequences, I'm sure you're willing to bear them."

Gu Zixiao gave Lan Yao a deep look, then suddenly realized he was wasting his time, so he turned and left.

Wang Qianqian exclaimed and stepped forward to grab Gu Zixiao's arm, but he subtly dodged her.

"Comrade Wang Qianqian, I'm telling you this one last time. You'd better remember, I don't like any living thing touching me, or else I'll make sure you never see the sun tomorrow, okay?"

Wang Qianqian suddenly shuddered, as if recalling some unpleasant memory, and her face turned pale.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I... I forgot. But... but Brother Xiao, I... I thought you came to help me teach the people who bullied me a lesson."

"Ah." Gu Zixiao seemed to just remember, looking through the crowd at the gradually dissipating black mist, "The price for making me lose interest, you'll copy the Party Constitution fifty times, right?"

Wang Qianqian: ……

No! What did you say? You want me to copy what? You're insane!

Damn it, how could she forget that Gu Zixiao is a troublemaker?

I should have known better than to invite him over.

wrong!

It was clearly his insistence that he come along.

Wang Qianqian looked at him with a wronged expression, not daring to say anything more.

Wang Qianqian turned around and glared fiercely at Lan Yao before reluctantly chasing after Gu Zixiao, who was almost out of sight.

Lan Yao, watching all this: ...

"...Wait, what happened to that guy? I was all geared up for a big fight, and this is how it ends?"

Jade Pixiu: "...I feel just like you, Master."

Yu Suanpan said disappointedly, "Master, that man is such a coward."

The flight attendant wiped the sweat from her brow and cautiously asked Lan Yao, "Comrade, is there any way to save him?"

Lan Yao nodded to the flight attendant and showed the little wooden horse that Yu Suanpan had bought from the time-space trading device to everyone present.

“This is what caused this man to fall ill.” Lan Yao pointed to the horse’s body. “The horse has many black patches the size of swaths on its body, which must have been contaminated somewhere for a long time.”

Many people were curious and went to take a look, then came back and whispered among themselves.

"I saw it, it was terrifying."

"That thing had a very strong odor."

"That young man is really brave, daring to take that thing empty-handed."

"So, that means the guy is going to survive?"

After showing the items to the others, Lan Yao wrapped the little wooden horse in the handkerchief that Lin Jingjing handed her and casually stuffed it into her pocket.

The flight attendant didn't say anything, but instead asked, "Should we feed him mung bean soup now? But we don't have any on the train. If we cook it fresh, will he... survive until then?"

The flight attendant was very worried; this man was clearly exhaling more than he was inhaling.

Lan Yao gave the flight attendant a reassuring smile: "I happen to have a pot of mung bean soup here."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Wang Qianqian, who had returned with the others, jumped out and said, "You didn't set this up on purpose to trick that guy, did you?"

Lan Yao: ...
