Chapter 419 Delivering Hot Soup, the NPC's Mistress
Ji Xinghan quickly realized what was happening.
Since she had this identity, things became easier, so he immediately said, "Yes, I haven't seen her yet. Have you seen her?"
The middle-aged woman, holding a glass of wine, darted her eyes around and said with a grin, "Oh dear, could it be that you've run away from your wedding? Hehehe!"
Ji Xinghan feigned indignation: "How is that possible!"
The middle-aged woman laughed arrogantly: "How is that impossible? I just saw the bride's other maid come looking for the groom. She just ran away!"
A woman next to her said, "So what if she ran away? What are you chattering about? Hurry up and eat and drink, or the bride will get angry and flip the table!"
Ji Xinghan: !!!
The group quickly changed the subject and ignored her completely.
With the wine all poured, Ji Xinghan decided to ask somewhere else.
She had just turned around when a notification sounded:
Find Chef Zhang as soon as possible to complete the task!
[Find Cook Zhang within ten minutes to complete the task, or you will face the consequences!]
Ji Xinghan calculated the time; even if she ran all the way, she could only get back in ten minutes.
Let's go back and turn in the mission first.
So he hurriedly left the banquet hall and returned the way he came.
He hurried along and finally returned within ten minutes to tell Chef Zhang.
Cook Zhang was very satisfied: "Well done! Take a ten-minute rest, I have other tasks for you later!"
She handed Ji Xinghan a small porcelain bottle.
You have received a calming pill.
Ji Xinghan opened the porcelain bottle and found a light green pill inside.
With only ten minutes to rest, she quickly carried the bottle to find Jin Baiwan.
Jin Baiwan was already drenched in sweat, but he was still chopping and carrying firewood.
Just as Ji Xinghan arrived, he saw a light green figure fall down next to Jin Baiwan, crying out in a delicate voice, "Ouch, that hurts! Fatty, you bumped into me."
Ji Xinghan rushed over.
Jin Baiwan was furious: "Who bumped into you? You clearly bumped into me yourself. Are you trying to scam me?!"
The girl in the light green dress looked up, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly pitiful: "So, you actually yelled at me! Waaah, I'm going to find my husband to avenge me!"
Ji Xinghan was startled.
This person is someone I know.
A very close acquaintance—Zhang Xiaoxiao!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoxiao is now dressed up in a flamboyant manner, adorned with pearls and jewels, and looks quite delicate.
Does she already have a husband?
What is his/her identity?
Moreover, why did she come here to stage an accident? Was this her mission?
Ji Xinghan immediately changed his mind; he would give the Qingxin Pill to Zhang Xiaoxiao!
Her innate skills are now even more useful!
She went over and helped Zhang Xiaoxiao up: "Whose side are you on?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao stood up and shoved Ji Xinghan away in disgust: "Who are you? Dressed so shabbily, how dare you touch me?"
Ji Xinghan: !!!
She didn't want to act anymore, so she grabbed Zhang Xiaoxiao, shoved the Qingxin Pill into her mouth, and fed it to her.
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Ugh, ptooey, ptooey, what are you feeding me?"
Ji Xinghan: "Look up and see who I am!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Who are you? Do I know you? I... um..."
Her eyes gradually cleared, and she stared wide-eyed at Ji Xinghan, then at Jin Baiwan: "My God, why are you two dressed like this? Wait, something's not right!"
She stood up, looked at her clothes, paused for a moment, and covered her head: "Wait for me a minute!"
Less than a minute later, Zhang Xiaoxiao finally came to her senses, her face filled with bitterness and resentment: "Boss Ji, thank goodness you stopped me, otherwise, Jin Baiwan would be finished today!"
Ji Xinghan asked in surprise, "What?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "I'm also doing a task that requires me to go into the kitchen and randomly bump into someone. As long as I succeed in bumping into someone, my husband NPC will rush in and cause trouble!"
"Huh?" Ji Xinghan was taken aback.
Her expression changed drastically. Oh no! There was another mission where they had to kill each other!
Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded emphatically: "Yes, that's exactly what you think. Some tasks will probably involve players killing each other."
Jin Baiwan, oblivious to what was happening, continued hauling firewood, completely ignoring what Ji Xinghan and Zhang Xiaoxiao were discussing.
Ji Xinghan pulled Zhang Xiaoxiao up: "What's your identity?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao blushed: "An NPC's...that...mistress..."
Ji Xinghan: ...
This identity is truly complicated!
Regardless, at least now we have someone we can use.
As for Jin Baiwan, he's just chopping and transporting firewood here, which is tiring but not too dangerous.
Ji Xinghan tugged at Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Hurry up, I need your ability to read people!"
She was in a bit of a hurry.
There are about 300 or 400 people here. Zhao Qingyuan brought quite a few people with him. They are actually from two different camps.
Even if Zhao Qingyuan obtains the service area activation token, she may not necessarily activate it.
Therefore, she had to get ahead of Zhao Qingyuan!
The two had only taken two steps when they encountered Chef Zhang, who smiled and said, "Hey, Ji Xinghan, the bride's stomach isn't feeling well right now. Go and bring her a bowl of hot soup, and come back quickly!"
[Task: Chef Zhang wants you to deliver hot soup to the bride!]
[Quest Reward: 1 Tranquilizing Pill!]
This reward is great, and it's a gift for the bride, a perfect opportunity to meet her. Ji Xinghan readily agreed.
Cook Zhang gave her a plate with two bowls of soup on it. She carried the plate and hurried in the direction Cook Zhang had indicated.
As before, we passed through the back hall and walked towards the middle room.
Zhang Xiaoxiao followed closely behind.
As she walked, she exclaimed excitedly, "We're having such a smooth time! We'll be meeting the bride so soon?"
Ji Xinghan was speechless: "We're looking for the groom. By the way, have you seen the groom?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Never seen it before!"
Ji Xinghan: "Then do you know the groom?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head again: "I don't know!"
Ji Xinghan sighed: "Don't you still have a husband? Go and sound him out."
Zhang Xiaoxiao blushed: "Um... actually, I'm just getting into this role. My memories are still my own. Right now, I don't even remember what he looks like."
The two walked forward while talking, and soon arrived at a corridor.
That should be the bride's house up ahead.
Suddenly, a girl rushed over and stopped Ji Xinghan: "Is this hot soup from the kitchen? Quick, give it to me, Miss's stomach is hurting terribly."
Ji Xinghan still had to see the bride, so he couldn't possibly give it to her. He quickly said, "Cook Zhang asked me to give it to you personally, Miss."
Having said that, he walked past the bride, and after taking only a few steps, a person pushed open the door and came out, looking at Ji Xinghan with a flash in his eyes: "Here, give me some hot soup!"
It's Zhao Qingyuan!
Zhao Qingyuan, dressed in light pink, stared intently at Ji Xinghan.
Ji Xinghan could see a hint of smugness in her eyes.
Zhao Qingyuan was also lucid!
Ji Xinghan turned slightly, and where Zhao Qingyuan couldn't see, quickly opened the lid of the hot soup, flicked his sleeve, and then turned back: "Let me do it."
Zhao Qingyuan grabbed the plate and smiled slightly: "You guys? You shouldn't have come here!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao glared at her: "Who are you talking about? Who do you think you are?"
Zhao Qingyuan exerted force, and Ji Xinghan released his grip.
Zhao Qingyuan snatched the plate, a forced smile on his face: "Alright, the hot soup is served, you can go back now."
Zhang Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips, ready to start cursing, but Ji Xinghan pulled her back: "Stop making a scene, let's go find your husband and get some information!"
Since Zhao Qingyuan is guarding this place, she will go somewhere else!
She had a gut feeling that Zhang Xiaoxiao's husband was a breakthrough point.
