"Tell me quickly, which room is it? I need to go rescue them!" Wang Xiaoyi asked anxiously.
"That's...that house!"
Following the direction pointed out by the village chief of Silverleaf Village, Wang Xiaoyi activated his title skill [Vanguard], doubling his movement speed as he charged towards the house!
When Wang Xiaoyi arrived at the house, Wanrou had already hanged herself, her legs struggling in the air.
In his haste, Wang Xiaoyi grabbed Wanrou's legs and pulled her down, but Wanrou struggled even more fiercely.
"Don't worry, Miss Wanrou, I'm here, I'll definitely save you!"
Wang Xiaoyi was puzzled as to why Wanrou's legs had stopped struggling, so he looked up.
Wanrou's tongue was sticking out, and she looked like she was about to die.
"I'm...sorry..."
"I really didn't mean to, I... I was just too nervous!"
Wang Xiaoyi quickly grabbed Wanrou's legs and lifted her up. This time he was in the right direction, but unfortunately, he used too much force.
Miss Wanrou lost her balance.
Wanrou fell face down to the ground with a loud thud, and immediately passed out.
"I'm so sorry..."
"I really didn't mean it!"
Wang Xiaoyi hurriedly stepped forward to turn Wanrou over, but saw that Wanrou's body moved on its own.
With one hand barely supporting her weight and the other shoulder resting on the table, Wanrou managed to flip herself over.
After turning over, Wanrou waved her trembling hand repeatedly, her expression showing a hint of fear.
The meaning is quite clear: it's to tell Wang Xiaoyi.
"Don't come any closer!"
Wanrou: w(?Д?)w
When Wanrou realized that Wang Xiaoyi was about to step forward to help, her remaining will to survive told her that if she didn't stop this man, she would really lose her life today.
Even now, Wanrou's eyes are still rolled back due to the pressure, all thanks to Wang Xiaoyi.
Wang Xiaoyi noticed that Wanrou's eyes were all white and asked curiously.
"This isn't blonde hair and blue eyes, this is blonde hair and white eyes!"
Wanrou struggled to her feet and crawled out with all her might. This man's mouth was as venomous as his brain. She didn't want to be angered to death by Wang Xiaoyi!
Just then, the village chief and villagers of Yinye Village arrived.
"Girl, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"
"My daughter, we owe a great debt to this gentleman today. You should thank him properly!"
The young lady Wanrou felt her blood rush to her head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Sir, you first killed the bandits, saving you and the entire village! Then you saved me from hanging!"
"It's like saving two lives!"
"Men should marry when they come of age, and women should marry when they come of age. I think this gentleman is a man of exceptional talent. Why don't you marry him, young lady?"
Miss Wanrou waved her hands repeatedly, wanting to speak but unable to. A breath caught in her chest and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Forehead……"
The village chief of Yinye Village was also caught off guard, not understanding why the girl would suddenly spit out two mouthfuls of blood.
"I guess I was too excited!" Wang Xiaoyi said in a low voice, embarrassed.
Upon hearing Wang Xiaoyi's words, Wanrou fainted immediately.
...
Two hours later, Wanrou finally woke up.
Miss Wanrou was a reasonable person, and after learning the whole story, she forgave Wang Xiaoyi.
[Ding! You have gained 100 points of favorability with Wanrou!]
[Current favorability rating for Wanrou: Friendly.]
At this time, Wang Xiaoyi was not idle either. He was helping the hunters in the village to clear out the wild wolves around the village.
[Ding! You have gained 1000 Silverleaf Village reputation points!]
[Current Reputation in Starting Village: Widely Renowned]
During those two hours, all the villagers of Yinye Village felt Wang Xiaoyi's enthusiasm.
Wang Xiaoyi was never free for a moment, either helping Widow Wang fetch water or Widow Li chop wood.
Wang Xiaoyi's hard work has paid off. He only needs 7,000 more reputation points to reach the "Dominating the Region" reputation level in Silverleaf Village.
The village chief of Yinye Village felt even more favorably toward Wang Xiaoyi, truly embodying the saying: "The father-in-law looks at his son-in-law and likes him more and more!"
When Wang Xiaoyi saw the system's notification about Wanrou's favorability rating, he knew that Wanrou had already woken up.
So Wang Xiaoyi went to find the village chief of Silver Leaf Village, partly to see if Wanrou was really blonde and blue-eyed, and partly to receive a series of quests from the village chief.
Before long, Wang Xiaoyi found the village chief and Wanrou.
Wanrou: ( · person · )
As the saying goes, people tend to prefer mountains to flat plains!
This gentle young lady is truly surrounded by towering peaks and breathtaking scenery.
Wang Xiaoyi watched for a while, then suddenly felt thirsty and wanted to buy a bottle of milk.
Seeing that Wang Xiaoyi remained silent, Miss Wanrou had no choice but to step forward and greet him.
The young lady, Wanrou, bowed gracefully and spoke to Wang Xiaoyi in a sweet, soft voice.
"Thank you for saving my life, young master!"
"That soft voice is really sweet, it's got a high sugar content, at least four plus signs!"
Wang Xiaoyi truly lives up to his reputation as an expert in awkward conversations; with just one sentence, he left Wanrou speechless once again.
Miss Wanrou completely failed to understand Wang Xiaoyi's supposedly humorous, age-old joke, and didn't know what to say next, leading to another awkward moment.
The village chief of Yinye Village was also very annoyed that Wang Xiaoyi had killed the conversation again.
"This child is good in every way, except he has some mental issues," the village chief said with some regret.
The village chief broke the deadlock with a smile and asked Wang Xiaoyi.
"Sir, you must have come here to see someone you need something from!"
As the village chief spoke, he glanced at his daughter again.
Wang Xiaoyi slurped his saliva and slapped himself.
Yes, I still have important things to do. How can I let drinking milk—no, I mean, watching over the milk—interfere with my important work?
"The village chief is wrong, I really did come here on business!"
The village chief's smile widened, and he gave Xiao Yi a knowing look. They were all men, after all; Wang Xiaoyi's performance had completely exposed him.
"A beautiful and graceful lady is sought after by gentlemen. What brings you here to see my daughter, sir?"
"What are you talking about? Why would I want to see her for no reason? I'm here to see you, Village Chief!"
"This is a map showing the distribution of bandit strongholds. Do you think I can take the quest now?"
Wang Xiaoyi finally revealed the purpose of his trip.
Wanrou: ╮（╯＿╰）╭
Silverleaf Village Chief: ╮（╯＿╰）╭
The village chief of Silverleaf Village was speechless, but he couldn't show it on the spot, so he could only complain to himself.
"As the old saying goes, it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, and with my father-in-law helping me out, why is it so difficult for him!"
The village chief of Silverleaf Village sighed helplessly, but he could only hand over the series of tasks: [Clearing out the bandit stronghold] to Wang Xiaoyi for the time being.
