Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 119: Return to the Village

Leng Er had just been distinguishing the crowd and wasn’t beside Cheng Xiaoxiao. Upon seeing the situation, his heart skipped a beat, and with a flash, he appeared in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao.

Not far from Cheng Xiaoxiao, Qing Wu and Qing Shi’er both turned pale and quickly made their moves.

The unified thought among the three was to send the woman in front of them flying with a single strike. In the blink of an eye, they saw the woman’s hand reaching to strangle Miss Cheng’s neck, but it froze not far from her neck, unable to proceed.

They immediately withdrew their force.

Then, the woman collapsed to the ground with a thud, facing upwards, a cold, gleaming dagger embedded in her chest, staining her filthy clothes red.

"You... you..."

The woman’s eyes widened, unable to believe, even in her dying moments, that the little girl in front of her would stab her without a word, a stark contrast to her own shrewish behavior.

The man she was protecting, with a trace of mockery at the corner of his mouth, showed no movement or expression, clearly indifferent to the woman’s life or death.

Only the women inside the cave screamed in fright, quickly covering their mouths, fearing that the female Rakshasa in front of them would notice them.

The atmosphere in the cave became as silent as a chicken; both the bandits crouching on the ground and the women standing by the edge thought Cheng Xiaoxiao was a naive young lady from a wealthy family, relying on guards skilled in martial arts to rob from the rich and give to the poor.

Little did they know the girl herself was ruthless.

Qing Wu and Qing Shi’er standing beside Cheng Xiaoxiao exchanged astonished glances, wondering when Miss Cheng had acquired a dagger. How come they hadn’t noticed? There wasn’t anywhere in her attire to hide a dagger! Truly bizarre.

The two contemplated, starting to doubt the source of the dagger. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Cheng Xiaoxiao took two steps forward, stepping on the woman, causing her to convulse in pain.

"Even a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs; people worse than pigs and dogs don’t deserve to live!"

With that, she pulled the dagger from the woman’s chest. The woman, barely clinging to life, spurted blood and immediately lost her breath.

These are bottomless scum, unworthy of life!

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt intense disgust, anger overshadowing fear, and she didn’t seem so averse to killing anymore.

She cast one last glance at the corpse, feeling a heavy heart, yet no sense of relief, "A scumbag wastes air by living and land by dying."

The blood on the dagger trickled down along the blade, drop by drop, falling back onto the woman’s corpse.

Everyone watched this scene, the blood seemingly dripping into their hearts.

Terror and dread spread, and they no longer dared to underestimate the small girl in front of them.

"What a fine blade!"

Looking at the dagger glistening with a cold light, without a trace of blood, Cheng Xiaoxiao was satisfied, truly a necessary tool for killing and plundering.

The moment before she was admiring her dagger, the next moment she coldly said, "Kill them all!"

Leng Er understood; he had long wanted to take action. Upon receiving the order, the others drew their blades, deeming these people unworthy of life.

For a moment, those afraid of being killed ran around in terror, making the scene chaotic again.

The farmers who hadn’t joined long ago cried out the loudest.

"Please, good sirs, spare me, I was forced, I won’t dare again."

"I didn’t kill anyone, really, I didn’t! Please let me go! I have old people and young children to care for."

Such familiar words, the eternal routine found everywhere.

Some expressed indignation, "I never killed anyone. On what basis do you kill me?"

"Right! Right, I didn’t kill anyone," someone echoed.

"Sorry, those who eat human flesh are guiltier than killers; you no longer have a reason to live."

Cheng Xiaoxiao added coldly.

A small leader among the bandits slammed his body into a nearby woman, pushing her straight into an oncoming sword.

The sword instantly pierced through the woman’s chest.

Before her death, the woman murmured reluctantly, "Why?"

She hadn’t eaten human flesh and had a chance to live. In seeking mercy for the man, she ran out with the other women, only to be sent to her end by the man she intended to save. Truly ironic.

She should have realized that being a bandit, there couldn’t be any good people amongst them. How foolish she was to believe he would treat her well and protect her for life.

The woman let out a tragic smile, and with the sword withdrawn, she died.

Meanwhile, the small leader attempting to escape was pierced in the arm by a sword from the left and had his Achilles tendon severed by someone on the right, causing him to cry out in pain.

He cursed Cheng Xiaoxiao and her group, "You people will die a horrible death. The big boss will be back soon to kill you all, every single one of you."

As the blood gushed out more and more, the small leader’s face turned pale, knowing there was no hope for survival, he began to laugh.

"Hahaha!

The big boss will surely avenge us.

Hahaha!

Once the big boss levels Qingshan Village, you will all die, all die."

The small leader yelled viciously, struggling unwillingly.

His eyes were blood-red, staring venomously at the executioners in front of him.

Qing Wu was just about to give the filthy-mouthed man the final blow.

"Wait a minute."

Did that man just mention Qingshan Village?

Cheng Xiaoxiao, with a pale face, quickly ran to the man, clutching his bloodstained collar, urgently asked, "What did you say? Say it again."

The small leader, due to his yelling, was full of blood in his chest and mouth.

Hehe!

He spoke with difficulty, "You... want... to know, dream on!"

"Ptooey!"

Caught off guard, he spat a face full of blood onto Cheng Xiaoxiao.

Hahaha! ... Cough cough cough!

"Die already!" Qing Wu roared.

A sharp sword pressed against the small leader’s neck.

Cheng Xiaoxiao, overwhelmed with grief and anger, wiped the disgusting blood from her face.

"You talk, I won’t kill you."

The small leader was already deranged, "Hehehe! Dream on..."

As he spoke, he extended his neck to rub against Qing Wu’s sword. Qing Wu quickly retracted his sword but was still a step slow, with the small leader’s neck bleeding profusely. Yet his mouth curled up, dying with laughter.

Cheng Xiaoxiao, filled with unvented frustration, kicked the man over a dozen times.

"I’m sorry, Miss Cheng." Qing Wu bowed and apologized. Had it not been for him giving the man an opportunity, perhaps Miss Cheng could have obtained the information she wanted.

"It’s not your fault." Cheng Xiaoxiao was disheartened; when someone was determined to die, no one could stop them.

"Host, don’t be angry. That big boss must have gone to raid Qingshan Village. There are no other intact villages nearby, it’s most likely they’re headed for Qingshan Village. We better hurry back!"

The system clumsily comforted the mind-blank Cheng Xiaoxiao.

"Host, the villagers have been training for so long, they have some skills. If we rush back now, there’s still time."

The three-legged cats in the village could deal with ordinary people, but the big boss brought his experienced crew and not the newly recruited clumsy hands left in the cave, making them incomparable.

The more she thought about it, the less at ease she felt. She had said she would deal with this group later, not expecting them to find Qingshan Village so quickly, what a miscalculation.
