As darkness fell completely, the boat owner, Old Yu, came over and called out, "Young man, wake up! Time for dinner!"
Ning Qing rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking bewildered. Her bright, watery eyes held a helpless, innocent charm with a hint of alluring allure that was unforgettable at first glance.
Su Xia, who was the first to come to his senses, felt a jolt in his heart. He turned his head away from Ning Qing, and no one noticed that his ears were burning and a blush was quietly spreading across his cheeks.
He didn't know why he was momentarily stunned by a man's beauty; perhaps it was because beauty knows no gender.
He secretly warned himself to stay away from this man; he was a bewitching enchantress, and the way his heart had been pounding just now terrified him.
During the two days on the ship, Su Xia kept her distance from Ning Qing, as if she were avoiding a virus, which puzzled Ning Qing. Putting aside the little brat who seemed to be acting strangely, Ning Qing chatted happily with the ship owners, listening to their interesting stories about the sea.
The moment Ning Qing stepped onto the land, she was so excited she wanted to shout, "It feels so good to be on solid ground!"
After waving goodbye to the boat owners, Su Xia and her husband went their separate ways to their respective homes.
The system kept chattering in Ning Qing's mind, "Host, host, why don't you send the mission target home? Don't forget, your mission is to protect the mission target. What if he encounters danger on his way back...?"
“Why would I give him a hammer? He’s a grown-up kid. As his father, I shouldn’t clip his wings. He should be allowed to experience things and not be spoiled.”
"Besides, haven't you been keeping an eye on him? If he's in danger, we can go over there later."
The system thought about it and agreed, so it stopped dwelling on the matter. "So, host, what are you going to do now?"
"What can I do? Go home and lie down, nothing to worry about." Don't ask her, the answer is always the same: I just want to win without lifting a finger, and ideally wake up to be told that the mission is complete, haha.
The system, no longer wanting to speak, silently went to pay attention to Su Xia.
Ning Qing slept for a full day and night before being woken up by the system. This was not surprising, as fairies sometimes sleep in months or years.
"System, why did you wake me up? I haven't had enough sleep yet," Ning Qing said, displeased.
"Host, listen, what's that sound?" the system said in a cryptic tone.
Ning Qing listened quietly to a "gurgling" sound.
Ning Qing looked at her rumbling stomach and was speechless...
This mortal body can't withstand hunger, what a hassle. It's better to be a demon.
"System, are you bored? Do you want me to practice with you a bit, huh...?"
The system sensed a chill run down its spine from the last syllable.
The system slipped away without a second thought.
Ning Qing: Don't let me catch you next time, or I'll make sure you know why the flowers are so red.
After washing up, Ning ordered takeout and went online. This stuff is really interesting; there's still so much she doesn't understand.
Her mission is to protect the cub for life, so she will likely have to stay here for decades, and there are many things she needs to learn.
Hmm, another day of studying.
A week later, Ning Qing bought a three-bedroom apartment and a car near Su Xia's school. Fortunately, the original owner had a driver's license, so there was no need to go through the trouble of learning to drive.
The system was stunned. "Host, didn't you eat up all of the original owner's last bit of money? Where did you get the money to buy a house and a car?"
"I don't eat money, I only eat food. I'm a fairy, not a monster, okay?" Ning Qingbai glared at the system.
"I casually rummaged through any nook and cranny of the space and found the house and car I bought with the money I exchanged for gold bricks."
"Host, how come your soul has its own space? And you can even take things out..." It turns out it has latched onto a powerful host.
"Stay calm. As long as you're strong enough, nothing is impossible," Ning Qing said with an air of authority.
System: This is a day in Versailles for the host. I don't want to talk anymore.
