Chapter 83
After that, Rong Rong's life became more peaceful and tranquil. It seemed that after she passed Xie Tianrui's test last time, Xie Tianrui never tested her again and trusted her completely.
This made Rong Rong feel very relaxed. Perhaps the only thing that wasn't easy for her was that Xie Tianrui's stamina was too strong, and she was having some trouble keeping up.
To help Xie Tianrui burn off his energy in advance, Rong Rong came up with a plan: to spend money like crazy.
This meant Xie Tianrui had to go up the mountain to hunt more often and then go to the county town to sell his prey to make money.
It was time-consuming and exhausting, and I was often so tired that I slept like a log, with no energy left to bother Rong Rong.
Rong Rong chuckled to herself. She hadn't even opened her eyes when she woke up before she started spending money.
"Today I'm going to eat the signature dishes of Drunken Eight Immortals, a whole table full!"
At first, Rong Rong restrained her spending, but her soft heart only brought her exhaustion. Now she doesn't care anymore; she has a huge appetite.
Xie Tianrui held Rong Rong in his arms and affectionately pinched her little face. He knew, of course, that Rong Rong was deliberately ordering him around, but he just wanted to unconditionally satisfy her, which made him feel incredibly happy and fulfilled.
It turns out that spoiling someone with all your might is so enjoyable.
Xie Tianrui prepared breakfast and lunch for Rong Rong in advance, keeping them warm in the pot, and then went up the mountain to hunt.
There are many wild animals in the mountains behind Baijia Village, and there are no hunters in the village, which is a boon for Xie Tianrui, who has a good harvest every day.
Today he was very lucky and caught a bear. It was taller than a person when it stood up, and the bear was unlucky enough to fall into his trap.
After selling the bear and packing up a table of dishes, Xie Tianrui rode back home in Old Zhang's oxcart from the village.
Upon arriving at the village entrance, Xie Tianrui couldn't wait to see Rong Rong.
He gathered the food boxes in the car, a smile always playing on his lips.
Suddenly, he frowned, quickly flipped backward off the oxcart, and found himself sitting right where a row of silver needles were stuck.
Before he could catch his breath, a dozen men in black rushed in front of Xie Tianrui in the blink of an eye, their blades flashing and their aura chilling.
"Murder! Murder!" Old Zhang abandoned the oxcart and ran, but fortunately, the men in black weren't targeting him and no one paid him any attention.
Xie Tianrui struggled to deal with the men in black.
If it weren't for his poor eyesight, he would have easily dealt with them long ago.
Just as Xie Tianrui was anxiously trying to figure out a way to escape, a familiar voice came over.
"Master!"
The next second, Xie Tianrui's pressure eased dramatically as someone leaped to his side and took the man in black from him.
"Master, we've finally found you!"
Qingfeng was thrilled to see his master, but before he could get excited for long, a group of men in black appeared and surrounded them.
"How many people did you bring?" Xie Tianrui asked urgently.
"Just ten." Qingfeng gritted his teeth. "I'll go first, we'll cover the rear!"
"Together!" Xie Tianrui quickened his movements, and the sound of swords clashing became even more frequent.
As darkness fell, Rong Rong sat on a recliner in the courtyard, waiting and waiting, but Xie Tianrui did not appear.
"Has something happened to Xie Tianrui? Why isn't he back yet?" Rong Rong asked, feeling frustrated.
She wanted to go out and see what was going on, but reason made her stay.
In order to avoid being discovered that she was not Mu Fangfang, and to avoid causing trouble, Rong Rong stayed in the courtyard every day and never went out.
"Could it be that they've run into an enemy?" Rong Rong guessed. Calculating the time, it was about the day Xie Tianrui's subordinates would come looking for them.
Even faster than Xie Tianrui's subordinates came his enemies.
If Xie Tianrui really did encounter an assassination attempt, then her first mission should be completed very quickly.
The moment the thought crossed my mind, the system notification sounded.
[Host: Rong Rong; Mission Progress:]
Task 1: Successfully impersonate the female lead to deceive the male lead until his subordinates come looking for you (Completed)
Mission Two: After returning to the capital, impersonate the female lead and assassinate the male lead.
Please maintain your original character persona during the task; otherwise, you will be penalized with point deductions!
"Wow, so I'm about to be exposed?" Rong Rong clenched her small fists nervously. "And then there's torture? A sword through the chest?"
"Host, run!" 666 screamed.
That's right, running away is the best option. Rong Rong was about to get up when she heard a ding sound in her ear, followed by a thud as a figure fell from the roof to the ground, motionless.
The incident happened in an instant. Rong Rong's heart pounded. She silently observed the figure, but because it was too dark, she couldn't see anything clearly and dared not approach.
"Stop looking, the person is already dead."
The deep, emotionless voice suddenly rang out, startling Rong Rong.
"Who?" Rong Rong sat up straight, trying to remain calm. She knew that panicking wouldn't help.
If the person hiding in the shadows wanted to kill her, they would have done so already, and she wouldn't be able to escape anyway. The fact that they didn't kill her means they have some ulterior motive, so she should just observe and wait.
Rong Rong's calm demeanor truly surprised Chen Cong, who looked at the woman under the tree with astonishment.
I must say, even just her back view is breathtakingly beautiful. Xie Tianrui is really lucky; he's blind enough to find a decent quality girl even if he randomly picks any village girl.
The reason I say "somewhat" is because Chen Cong doesn't believe that a village girl could be that beautiful.
He didn't care about looks; what mattered was that Xie Tianrui cared about people.
"The person who came to save you." Chen Cong sneered silently, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. "You killed Xie Tianrui's savior, didn't you? The real Mu Fangfang?"
"Oh, right, Xie Tianrui is your Brother A Niu." Chen Cong's expression twisted a little as he said this. It was such a corny and funny name. He wondered if he should tell Xie Tianrui about it when he got back.
“Your brother A Niu sent men to kill you to avenge his benefactor. If I hadn’t intervened just now, you would have been dead already.”
The voice was cool and carried a hint of chill. Rong Rong looked at the corpse by the wall with lingering fear.
Could this be someone Xie Tianrui sent to kill her? She wasn't sure.
Logically, Xie Tianrui should only realize that she is not Mu Fangfang when he is about to take her back to Beijing.
Because Xie Tianrui told Mu Fangfang his identity from the beginning and promised to take Mu Fangfang back to Beijing afterward, but the original owner of this body did not know this.
According to the mysterious person, the current situation is clearly inconsistent with the original plot. However, based on past experience, it is not impossible for the plot to deviate.
Rongrong decided to believe this person for now and see what he was up to.
What are you trying to say?
Her soft, sweet voice was even more pleasant than the gentle Wu dialect.
Chen Cong was stunned for a moment, then sighed again at Xie Tianrui's good luck. He composed himself and regained his coldness, "Come with me and I can help you take revenge. Afterwards, you will be rich and powerful."
“If you don’t leave, you’ll just have to wait to be killed by your brother A Niu! Don’t blame me for not warning you, he’ll be back soon.”
Chen Cong was certain the woman would go with him. He had investigated her beforehand and knew she was a greedy and ruthless scoundrel.
Just when you're about to fall asleep, someone brings you a pillow. Rong Rong smiled, her eyes crinkling. Now she was quite certain that the person speaking was the villain who would later save the original owner of this body.
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Rong Rong's cheerful tone revealed her good mood.
Sure enough, Chen Cong curled his lips in disdain. This woman probably didn't understand that once she left, she would be completely reduced to a pawn and dragged down to her doom.
