Ning Qing took a moment to process it and quickly accepted the fact that he was now a man.
Okay, the guy is alright too.
At least it was a new experience.
"System, why is the target being protected on this deserted island? Is he a savage?"
"If it's a wild man, it should be easy to raise," Ning Qing asked the system as she walked.
"No, host, the target of this protection is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. He came out to work this summer vacation and was taken to a cruise ship called 'Man Sunset' by abnormal means because of his good looks. This 'Man Sunset' cruise ship is a notorious underground black market where you can buy anything as long as you have money."
"However, the protected target escaped on its own and came to this unknown island, where it has lost contact with the outside world."
When the system said its last sentence, its voice carried a hint of arrogance, as if it were the one who had escaped the wolf's den alone.
After hearing this, Ning Qing sighed that if she hadn't escaped, she could have gone on the cruise ship. It was a pity she was too late and missed out.
After realizing Ning Qing's thoughts, the system was speechless... This person is someone who doesn't mind making things worse; we'll have to keep a closer eye on her in the future.
Half an hour later, Ning Qing stopped and met a pair of beautiful, dark eyes, like black gemstones. His clothes were tattered and his exposed skin was covered in mud, with withered leaves stuck to the mud. He was wearing an irregular straw hat on his head. Was it a hat?
"...This is the kind of protected target who's so beautiful they get kidnapped?"
The eyes are indeed beautiful, making one want to collect them. However, what is collected are inanimate objects that will gradually become dull, which is not good.
A face covered in mud, beautiful... well, quite unique. Ning Qing began to doubt the system's aesthetic sense.
His eyes scrutinized the child, but in his heart he was thinking: This is the person I'm protecting? A little human brat.
"It's the mission objective, host, get going."
The system urged excitedly.
Tsk, the system's words... are quite suggestive. Oh well, I won't argue with an idiot.
"Hello, my name is Ning Qing. I'm out of fruits and vegetables on my ship, so I thought I'd come to this island to try my luck and see if I could find any unexpected good fortune."
Ning Qing greeted the mission target in front of her with a smile.
The system's voice echoed in my mind.
"Host, the original owner's name is Bai Yu. And isn't the host here to rescue the mission target? You should descend from the sky, be a hero and save the beauty, and be incredibly handsome."
Is this system just a product of reading too many brain-degrading novels? Is it mentally challenged?
Ning Qing thought to herself, "Uh... why didn't you say so earlier? I had already introduced myself before you said it."
Ning Qing continued, "Also, I won't change my name."
The system hesitated before replying, "...Can I add a surname before your name? For example... Bai Ningqing."
Changing your name is incredibly simple; just take your household registration book to the police station and you're done.
After a moment of silence, Ning Qing finally nodded. As long as she didn't admit it, the additional surname would be considered as non-existent.
Su Xia looked at the strange man who had suddenly appeared, moved her lips, but didn't utter a single word.
Continuing with his work, he forcefully pulled down the half-skinned rabbit, and in an instant, the entire intact rabbit skin was peeled off. He rinsed the rabbit meat with water and then put it on the fire to roast.
Soon, the oil from the roasted rabbit meat dripped onto the pile of meat, making a sizzling sound, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat.
"I have salt and barbecue seasoning here, do you need them?"
Ning Qing took out salt and barbecue seasoning and handed them to Su Xia.
Su Xia looked at the salt and barbecue seasoning in front of him but didn't reach out to take them. Who knew if there were any strange things added to these things? He had drunk a spiked beverage, which caused him to faint and was the reason he was brought onto the cruise ship.
"This seasoning makes the barbecue smell especially good. Just give me a leg, I'll eat it first," Ning Qing said with a smile.
Su Xia thought for a moment. If he dared to eat first, the seasoning should be fine. After hesitating for a moment, she finally reached out, took it, and sprinkled it on the meat. The aroma became even stronger.
Su Xia had been eating tasteless barbecue for two months, and now, smelling that aroma, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Ning Qing noticed him swallowing, "The soul of this barbecue is the barbecue seasoning."
Su Xia nodded; it did indeed smell good.
After the meat was grilled, Su Xia tore off a leg and handed it to Ning Qing, indicating that he should eat first.
Ning Qing understood his meaning, took the food, and ate it without hesitation.
At the same time, I silently gave Su Xia a thumbs up in my heart. Her grilling skills are really amazing, one word: "superb". Both sides are grilled to a golden brown and crispy.
Seeing that Ning Qing didn't react after finishing her food, Su Xia quietly continued eating.
