Chapter 104: Chapter 104 We Are Good People, We Don’t Do Bad Things~
At the break of dawn, Qian Qi returned to the place where Li Haisheng had rested last night.
Li Haisheng seemed to have not slept all night, with swollen eyes and dark black circles under his eyes, holding a piece of unsoaked compressed biscuit, shakily stuffing it into his mouth.
Obviously, without firewood, he had been quite cold last night.
Upon seeing Qian Qi appear, Li Haisheng instantly exploded like a lit firecracker, angrily roaring at her, "Qian Qi! Where the hell did you go! You still know to come back?"
He had waited all night, afraid of being ambushed by passing magic beasts, and hadn’t dared to close his eyes all night! Not to mention how cold and hungry he was without a fire last night!
Qian Qi ran over with firewood, stubbornly refusing to admit her mistake, "It’s really not my fault! You don’t know how dark it gets up there. I was collecting firewood, then turned around and realized I was lost, and coincidentally, the flashlight ran out of power!"
"I’ve been looking for you all night!" she complained, "I didn’t sleep a wink, didn’t eat, and here you are secretly eating a biscuit behind my back!"
Li Haisheng: ???
You dare to complain to me?
"Give me some too!" Qian Qi shamelessly reached out her hand.
Seeing Qian Qi attempt to snatch food, Li Haisheng immediately forgot that she had left him to freeze here alone. He directly turned away, irritated, "I only have this one pack, figure it out yourself!"
Qian Qi pouted, muttering, "I did give you a chance..."
"What?" Li Haisheng didn’t hear what she was muttering, turning back suspiciously to ask.
"I said, who told you to be the big shot, you should eat more!" Qian Qi loudly said, "Big shot must’ve frozen last night! Let’s quickly make a fire to keep warm!"
She placed the firewood on the campfire stones Li Haisheng had set up, signaling him to light it, and indeed Li Haisheng was freezing. He took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the fire.
The warmth of the flames hit, and the accumulated drowsiness overwhelmed Li Haisheng in an instant.
"The big shot must be very tired!" Qian Qi rubbed her slightly cool hands, sympathetically saying, "You sleep first, I’ll keep watch for you."
Those words unusually satisfied Li Haisheng. He nodded and lay down in a comfortable position.
He was really exhausted, after fighting magic beasts and traveling all day yesterday, not sleeping all night and only eating terrible compressed biscuits, he needed to rest well to continue fighting.
"If a magic beast comes, wake me up immediately!" Li Haisheng threatened Qian Qi, "Without me, you can’t survive! If I find out you dare leave me, I’ll make sure you die miserably!"
"Yes, yes!" Qian Qi nodded obsequiously, looking utterly cowardly.
Qian Qi waited a while, about five or six minutes later, Li Haisheng succumbed to his fatigue and fell asleep deeply. Qian Qi immediately put down her small backpack, unzipped it, and began searching.
Looking closely, you could see Qian Qi’s backpack was filled with a mess of things: hemostatic medicine, defense fruit, flashlight, antibiotics, and more, with mostly various medicine packs, colorful, looking like dyed sugar powder.
These were the magic plant medicine powder she specially researched to "win".
Qian Qi took out an orange medicine powder pack, glanced at the sleeping Li Haisheng, and poured the powder into the flames.
A faint fragrance instantly spread out, and Qian Qi covered her nose and mouth silently moving away from the place, only jogging back after 10 minutes.
She walked up to Li Haisheng and gave his calf a hard kick.
Li Haisheng didn’t move at all, showing no intention of waking up; if not for the breath still leaving his nose, he would really look just like he was dead.
"Hehe, the medicine is working." Qian Qi’s lips curled into a wicked smile, and she squatted down, removing the Light Brain from Li Haisheng’s wrist.
"Let me see~" Qian Qi opened the contact list, seeing the chat records between Li Haisheng and Chen Tong, the rough content being Chen Tong hiring him to kill, with specific discussions to be held in person.
"Hmm..." Qian Qi rubbed her chin, her fingers flying over the Light Brain, and finally opened the recording software.
"Aha~ I knew this guy probably recorded it." Looking at yesterday’s recording in the Light Brain, Qian Qi clicked to play, immediately hearing the transaction conversation between Chen Tong and Li Haisheng.
"Get rid of her for me, and after it’s done, I’ll transfer the remaining 20 million to your card!"
"No problem, just an ordinary person, crushing her is as easy as stomping on an ant."
"This person is cunning! Don’t underestimate her! Understand? Especially don’t get scammed! If she tries to sway you, remember, she can’t even offer double, might even scam you instead! Don’t be fooled! Don’t talk to her! Just kill her!"
"Never talk to her!!! Don’t give her a chance to speak!!!"
In the recording, Chen Tong’s voice sounded heart-wrenching.
Qian Qi couldn’t help but chuckle, "As expected of my dear, knows me so well~"
"Looks like this person really came to kill me." Qian Qi stroked her chin, continuing to listen to the recording, feeling utterly moved upon hearing Chen Tong was willing to pay as high as 40 million to kill her.
"This is true love! This truly is true love!" Qian Qi’s eyes filled with tears, a warm feeling rushed to her heart, making her feel "sweet".
Who else in this world would be willing to pay such a high price to buy her insignificant little life?
Only Chen Tong!
Only he would relentlessly, tirelessly, and without discouragement spend a high price tirelessly pursuing her life!
If this isn’t love, what is?
Just for this reason, she must show Chen Tong some more care! More comfort! More deceit!
Qian Qi immediately took out a dagger, slashing Li Haisheng’s face, smearing the blood on herself randomly.
Then she opened the photo function in Li Haisheng’s Light Brain, aligning it to make the dagger appear to be on her chest.
She rubbed her face, manipulating her features until they completely let go of self-control, making a painful and grotesque expression.
"How about this, system, do I look like I died miserably?"
System: [...]
Yes, and a bit too much so, if Chen Tong saw this, he’d probably laugh out loud in his dreams.
Qian Qi happily snapped her "death photo", didn’t forget to photoshop it a little, and in the end looked at the result with great satisfaction, sending it to Chen Tong.
[Sea King Great Sage]: [Image]!
Qian Qi looked at the red exclamation mark afterward, clicking her tongue, "Forgot there’s no signal in this instance."
Resigned, she put away Li Haisheng’s Light Brain, turned to glance at the sleeping like a dead pig Li Haisheng, and started giggling sinisterly.
A few minutes later, Qian Qi picked up her things, put on her small backpack, and disappeared into the white morning fog with a skip and a jump.
In the dark, deep canyon, the sound of the system and Qian Qi’s conversation gradually echoed.
[Why don’t you just kill him?]
"Goodness! System, why are you so cruel! We are good citizens, not doing kill jobs!"
[Why don’t you return the defense armor, Light Brain, retractable long blade, lighter, compressed biscuits... and those smelly shoes before saying that?]
"Hehehe—no way!"
The girl’s bell-like sinister laughter suddenly spread in this cold and desolate canyon, making the already eerie valley, which buried countless skeletons, seem even more spooky and terrifying.
...
When Li Haisheng awoke, he felt a sharp pain on his face, he instinctively raised a hand to wipe his face but only smeared a hand full of sticky blood.
Along with it came a sharp pain, he screamed, wanting to see what happened to his face, then realized his defense armor was gone.
"Where’s my defense armor?" he hoarsely said, shock and blood loss made his head muddled, nearly fainting, he fumbled his body, discovering all the things needed for outdoor survival—long blade, lighter, compressed biscuits—everything disappeared.
Moreover—"Dammit, where are my shoes?"
Without shoes, in this canyon full of sharp stones and rubble, he couldn’t take a single step!
Qian Qi! Where’s Qian Qi?
Li Haisheng hurriedly glanced at the campfire, but where was Qian Qi’s figure?
