Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 414 - 406: Cultivation Big Shot

It’s no wonder she thinks this way at the moment.

The other person didn’t look like a human.

"What’s an NPC?"

Uh!

How should she explain this? He didn’t even know what an NPC was, so what exactly was he?

He couldn’t possibly be some kind of monster, right?

Are there monsters this good-looking?

It seems like the novels describe such spirits as looking quite beautiful. Is this the type?

She had never seen anything like it, no reference point!

"May I ask, sir?"

At this moment, she felt quite nervous, her voice trembling as she suddenly thought of those cultivation techniques gone wrong, leading to accidental death and then waiting for a fated person to seize the body for cultivation like an old monster.

Could she be so unlucky?

Luckily, the other party didn’t let her continue to speculate wildly.

"I am Mo Yan True Monarch from Cangnan Realm, who accidentally fell during the ascension tribulation, and now I am left with only my soul body. I need to borrow the young lady’s Chaos Crystal."

"What Chaos Crystal?" She didn’t have any Chaos Crystal!

"It is the item hung around the young lady’s neck."

Cheng Xiaoxiao remembered the Crystal Fragment from last mission’s reward.

This thing can nurture souls?

Knowing that the other party wasn’t an old monster trying to seize her body, nor a sinister otherworldly being, and had no malicious intent toward her.

She felt much more at ease.

Then she dared to take a closer look at the other person, his clear mind and refined bones, natural charm, face like jade, eyes like stars, truly a good look, making her almost drool.

Compared to the elegant gentlemen of this continent, it was like the difference between clouds and mud.

Not to be compared.

The best of the best.

Even though she couldn’t resist his appearance, she timidly asked, "Do I, do I get anything out of this?"

It felt like pocketing a big shot!

Her heart inexplicably raced uncontrollably.

"The reward has been paid."

No extra words needed.

Wow, even a proper answer is handsome!

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s eyes were full of little stars, "Where is it?"

"After experiencing this tribulation, the young lady should know about her physical condition. Without my intervention, you couldn’t have lived so lively."

The man’s indifferent eyes casually glanced over.

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s heart stopped for three seconds.

What a powerful aura!

This strange experience and encountering Sikong Yinlong felt completely different.

In front of Sikong Yinlong, she felt fear and cold calculations, along with an intimidating strength.

But this extraordinarily handsome big shot in front of her, even with just a soul body, could make people feel cold all over, as if placed in an ice cellar.

"Really? But I didn’t ask for this!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao daringly stepped over someone’s line.

Although her words were a bit audacious, she did ponder carefully in her heart.

After all, this big shot only had a remnant of his soul body, coming from a powerful Cultivation World, and if he suffered such a setback during his peak, his adversary must not be simple either.

This world has no Spiritual Energy to cultivate, and he couldn’t return to the Cultivation World in a short period in his soul body state.

Moreover, he needed to rely on her Crystal Fragment to nurture his soul body, or else he’d dissipate completely.

So, in short, she was his only, the only possible aid now.

Though his power is strong, just a slight move of a finger could crush her like a weak ant, so she could only jump on his bottom line occasionally and benefit a bit.

"What does the young lady want?"

"Sir, you’re too kind. This weak girl born so frail, bullied by others, unable to resist, indeed too aggrieved. If I could learn a spell or two from you, it’d be wonderful."

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s smile was too forced and sad, inducing unearned sympathy and pity.

She was just a whisker away from bawling.

Still, the big shot remained emotionless, showing no sign of any emotion.

"The young lady is born without Spirit Root, cultivation will be in vain."

"What! I’m exceptionally gifted, how could I not have a Spirit Root?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly jumped up, disbelief written all over her face.

Realizing she overreacted, Cheng Xiaoxiao laughed awkwardly, forcing a smile, her demeanor darkened a bit.

Murmuring to herself gloomily, "Indeed, the heavens don’t favor me, letting me suffer in this world."

Immediately collecting her forlorn expression, "Then is there any quick cultivation technique, life-extending elixir, revival Immortal Herbs, or some powerful Magical Treasure, just give me ten or eight pieces?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao blinked her bright eyes at the certain someone.

Even the usually steady Mo True Monarch couldn’t help but twitch his brows twice.

"I am now just a soul body."

Cheng Xiaoxiao pouted, meaning the big shot was left with just a ghostly soul, nothing material left.

Same soul-traveling to another world, at least she bound a system, the big shot ended up too miserable.

"I thought I met a true big shot, but turns out..."

Indeed!

Cheng Xiaoxiao boldly extended a finger to touch the big shot’s sleeve, only to feel emptiness. Then she waved her hand, her entire arm passed through the big shot’s body.

Oh dear, the more she thought, the sadder she felt, sniffling and glancing at the certain someone from the corner of her eye.

No gain at all, not even the person.

Only to be admired from afar, not to be played with.

This described her situation.

So pitiful!

"I currently have no Magical Treasure, but a bit of Power remains, and can ensure the young lady’s safety without issue."

Cheng Xiaoxiao immediately changed from a desolate mood, "The big shot really will protect me?"

Mo Xiaoyi nodded.

He didn’t care about Cheng Xiaoxiao’s address.

Didn’t this mean she could sway her way in this world?

No longer needing to fear that old codger Ouyang Ancestor or Sikong Yinlong.

Seeing the little girl’s sly smile with ill intent, Mo Xiaoyi guessed what little schemes she was plotting.

"I’m presently too weak as a soul body, need to rest, won’t act unless life-threatening."

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s smile immediately faded.

"The big shot can’t be so unkind, someone weak and small like me could face a life-and-death situation anytime, really? No kidding."

Not wanting to hear anymore of the serious nonsense.

Mo Xiaoyi turned into a stream of light and directly entered Cheng Xiaoxiao’s Crystal Pendant at her neck.

"Big shot, big shot."

Cheng Xiaoxiao took out the Crystal Pendant, waving it in front of her, no matter how she called, there was no response.

"So stingy."

Cheng Xiaoxiao muttered as she climbed out of a pit.

Currently, Tongzi’s energy might be depleted, unable to assist for a while.

Without navigation, she’d have to rely on herself to return.

No idea where this place was.

After exerting much effort, she finally climbed out from the bottom of the pit.

Around her was scorched earth, likely damaged from powerful energy upon arrival, completely destroyed, gazing afar, this place was surrounded by endless mountains.

Which way should she go?

Opened her character panel, seeing the task map still flashing with a red dot, took out the Space Transmitter, tried many times, couldn’t transport herself away.
