The Rebirth of the Lazy Nobles Woman
Chapter:99

Tang Qinghong hung back at the tail end of the group as they walked deeper into the mountains, the expressionless jade-like expression on his face slowly melting into a more rigid and imposing one.

There were many towering trees on the mountain that blurred the view of the sky, and the temperature here was at least ten degrees lower than inside. There were goosebumps on some of the girls' arms, but it did not hinder their adventurous spirit in the least. The person leading as a guide is obviously experienced, taking them to a specific path, and even playing some unfamiliar games on the way.

They occasionally rest and rest when they find a spring, taking the time to eat the snacks they bring. Guides even caught some fish from the water, making soup with fresh fish and mushrooms. A large pot of soup was just enough to feed some mouthfuls for everyone, and it was served appropriately as a soft drink.

While everyone was having fun, Tang Qinghong leaned against the tree alone, his eyes fixed on the deeper part of the forest, and he let his thoughts drift in his mind.

At the same time, there was a girl holding a bowl of soup, heading towards him. Bao Xinyi stood in the river after taking off her shoes, and when her gaze landed on the scene, her lips curved into a grin. What a sad thought. If Tang Qinghong was so easy to win, she wouldn't even stand here doing nothing. Just wait, you'll turn around and run away once you reach a dead end.

“Young Master Tang, this is a fish soup made by the guide, do you want to taste it?” The girl gave him a sweet smile, making him seem sweet and approachable. If it was someone else, they would not reject such a beautiful girl.

However, this was Tang Qinghong. “Thank you, but not.”

The girl was obviously not going to give up, and as she reached out to move forward another centimeter, she seemed to hit an invisible barrier. No matter what he did, he could not move forward a single step.

“I suffer from mysophobia,” Tang Qinghong said with a firm tone, a cold glint in his eyes. There was a smile on his face, but those words were spoken with nothing but warmth in them.

The hand of the girl he had raised became stiff and she pulled it quickly, lowering her head before she turned around to return to the others. As soon as he reached the side of the river, he heard the uncontrollable sound of Bao Xinyi's laughter, and his head jolted. “Bao Xinyi, what are you laughing at?!”

Bao Xinyi gave a cold snort. “On you, obviously. How nice, having such a thick face! “

“You!”

It was impossible for the girl to be unaware of the mocking tone underlying Bao Xinyi's remark. He could clearly feel everyone's eyes on them, and his lips trembled, his fists clenching tightly in anger. He raised his hand and pointed his finger at Bao Xinyi, unable to speak for a long time, then suddenly turned around and ran towards the depths of the forest.

After ten minutes had passed, the guide cleaned up all the pots and bowls. Gathering everyone together, he started the countdown, but his expression changed when he realized something. “Why there is one less person!”

Bao Xinyi looked towards the group, and realized that the girl she was laughing at had not returned. He frowned. “So what if something is missing, we can just keep going..”.

Xiny! Su Wen interrupted before he finished his sentence, he was still a wise person. “Everything stay here and continue to rest, I will go with the guide to find it. This is a big mountain, so don't wander around alone. It would be dangerous if any of you got lost. ”

***

On that side, they were busy looking for people. Meanwhile, Gu Xiqiao was having fun by his side.

The village chief had already woken up, and had come to meet him. Gu Xiqiao was currently drying fresh herbs in the sun. These were all fresh herbs that had been discovered by the villagers on the mountain, and had been sent to him.

“Uncle, bring this medicine back and let auntie boil it for you. Drink it for two days, and that's enough. ” He said while taking his medicine. “You may feel a bit sick and may be a little stiff because you just woke up, but it's not a big deal. After a few days of rest, you will be fine. ”

“I feel great now, even as strong as a bull. There seems to be nothing wrong at all! ” The village chief laughed loudly as he received what he said, gesturing slightly to show Gu Xiqiao that he meant it.

“That's great.” Gu Xiqiao said, sighing in relief. He did not know how his chi would react with ordinary people, or whether there would be any adverse side effects, but nothing seemed to be very clear.

After receiving the medicine, the village chief continued to chat with him for a few more minutes before leaving.

After working in silence for a while, Gu Xiqiao suddenly smiled and said, “Nothing, come in.”

Hearing his voice, Shi Tou no longer needed to hide. He entered and proceeded to help Gu Xiqiao sort out the medical ingredients. “I thought you wouldn't be home. I saw a group of people going to the mountains this afternoon, and my mother also said you were going. ”

“Ke mountains? WHO?” Gu Xiqiao asked in confusion.

There are not many ingredients left, it will probably run out in the next few days. Shi Tou squatted on the ground, counting the ants as he replied, “Three people who live here, and a few others that I do not know. They even brought guides, and since they left a while ago, they might need to spend the night in the mountains. ”

Gu Xiqiao brought some dried herbs from outside, and took out a box of milk from his inventory at the same time. On the north side of Baixing Village, there was a huge mountain. Since ancient times, it was called Baixing Mountain after the village. There were many people who came to visit the mountain, but since the mountain was never commercialized or developed, the people from Baixing Village never benefited from it.

Shi Tou picked up the milk, poked the straw into the box and took a sip. “I haven't been to the mountains in a long time. My father told me that the villagers had recently faced problems in the mountains, and forbade me to leave. ”

“If he tells you not to go, you better not go. You wouldn't go wrong by listening to the village chief. ” Gu Xiqiao was thinking of ideas in his mind. Ever since he was reborn, he had plans to build a village. The mountain in the north was the best place to start a breakthrough, but the most important thing right now was to complete a chain mission. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how much he developed the place. The chain mission this time is difficult, having no clue where the beginning or the end is. He did not know where to begin his search.

“Yes well, I actually came here to take you to dinner. My mother was cooking up a storm today, so she asked you to stop by tonight, ” Shi Tou said finally, having been staring at Gu Xiqiao for a long time as she finished her milk.

Gu Xiqiao was not sure why, but he felt Shi Tou was very chatty today. He climbed upstairs for a while, and when he got off, he held the laptop in his hand. Put it on the stone table, “Comfort yourself with this.”

Having a new toy to play with, Shi Tou did not bother Gu Xiqiao any further. He stared at the computer for a while, before reaching out to touch it. He had seen this once at the mayor's house, but only from afar before the mayor hid it.

That afternoon, Gu Xiqiao tidied up his house while Shi Tou learned how to play with a laptop. When night fell, the village chief came and asked the two of them for dinner.

The village has a lot of local produce, and it had rained a few days ago. The village chief had taken some mushrooms that morning to cook with chicken soup, and there was a sausage steamed with rice. There are also peppers picked from his own garden, combined with fried eggs. In addition, there was fried cabbage, a salad with a bunch of tomatoes, and some boiled meat that they bought this afternoon from one of the shops at the village entrance.

Other than Gu Xiqiao, there were two more people who had helped the village chief in the afternoon who were invited to dinner. They were all sitting around a large table, and they were enjoying dinner, chatting merrily while eating.

***

[Beauty Qiao, I feel something is wrong.]

After eating, Gu Xiqiao walked around the village with Shi Tou. The moment they reached the north side, the cold radiated to the backbone of the spirit system, and his expression became solemn.

Gu Xiqiao halted his steps, turning around to see that the mountain peak was suddenly surrounded by a powerful and evil aura. ‘You're right, something's wrong.’

Just as the two of them said that, a cold electronic voice rang out again, [Ding! Random Mission activated! He saved the people from the mountain.]

[Mission completion reward: 300 points!]

At the same time, a transparent panel appeared in front of him, with a red arrow displayed on it. Night had enveloped the village, and the red arrows appeared conspicuously on the map. Gu Xiqiao thought back to the words Shi Tou had said earlier about the people going to the mountain, it definitely referred to them.

The reward for this random mission is 300 points, and the mission reward is usually directly proportional to the risks that come with it.

The transparent panel in front of him displayed a map and arrows, and the entire Baixing Mountain could be seen at a glance from it. There were also some red dots on it, marking the target of his goal.

The red dot was divided into four places, one had the group together waiting at the location without moving, two red dots together in a small area, one had a group of people waiting together, moving repeatedly in circles indicating that they are most likely stuck in ‘endless circle ‘. The other two red dots were in separate places, one was moving fast at a strange constant speed, while the latter was on top of the mountain, not moving at all.

Gu Xiqiao took a deep breath, plotting the route in his mind as he continued his steps.

If there were anyone else on the mountain now, they would see a strange shadow walking on the mountain path, its speed fast enough to just leave a shade.

***

The Tree at the top of the mountain is a tree high enough to touch the sky, and it is so pitch black that you will not be able to see your fingers in front of you. Gu Xiqiao's eyesight was not that of an ordinary person, and even with that, his eyesight was still slightly obstructed by the darkness. You can imagine how big the impact would be for ordinary people.

As he went higher up the mountain, he could also feel the evil aura growing heavier. He felt that maybe he had found a breakthrough in his mission, but the situation naturally did not allow him to think too much about it. Rescuing people was his priority, and following the instructions of the system, he came to the sewer under the spring, and the person he needed to be saved lay inside.

It was a girl with her eyes tightly closed, and her face was bruised. Looking at him, there didn't seem to be much life energy left in his body, and he probably wouldn't be able to get through the night. However, he did not look like someone who was short-lived. Seeing it somehow makes the feathers on your arm stand up straight.

Gu Xiqiao stood on top, he did not know how the girl could be here, but he did not think too much about it. He waved his hand gently, and the girl's body floated upwards, towards the stone slab that was beside him.

[Beauty Qiao, you're getting proficient at directing your chi right now,] The spirit system exclaims in excitement, but the other party doesn't care about it.

“It looks so bad.” Gu Xiqiao plucked out his golden needles, pierced through some acupuncture points while inserting his own chi to help preserve the girl's life a little longer. “I can't take care of him at the moment, it will exhaust all the remaining chi in my body. The mountain is in an unusual condition now, if I use all my chi right now, I might not be able to get out alive. ”

The spirit of the system frowned while thinking. [Get him out like this now, you've given him enough chi to survive, you can take care of him after you get out of the mountain.]

It seemed like it was the best thing they could do right now. Gu Xiqiao glanced at the girl, and began to lift her up with the princess sling. A person who weighs at least 100 pounds is nothing like anything in his arms, and it doesn't even affect his speed in the slightest.

The single red dot on the mountain peak in the transparent panel had disappeared, and the remaining three. Gu Xiqiao glanced at his map at a glance. If he followed this path downwards, he would reach two red dots that were stuck circling.

***

The night had completely descended now, and the entire mountain forest was silent. There was no sound of wind or rustling of leaves or grass, everything was eerie silent.

Su Wen felt like they were walking around in circles, becoming confused on the hillside. “Uncle, we've been here before, haven't we?”

After wandering around the same place many times, Su Wen could not bear it. Even if he was an atheist, he could not help but feel the chill running down his spine, the goosebumps in his hands were getting harder to ignore.

We'll walk in that direction. The guide had run into a lot of trouble before, and although he was terrified inside, he could not make a rash decision. He pointed in the other direction. “We will head south this time, I can't believe we can't get out!”

Su Wen put away the fear in his heart, once again following the guide from behind. He never imagined this would happen, he just went out with a guide to look for someone, he did not expect they would be stuck in such a frightening place. The surroundings were silent, and the more you thought about it, the more terrifying it felt.

He followed the guide closely, and he suddenly felt his breath choking in his throat, making it hard to breathe. The Sea of Fire was spread out in front of them, the flame licked everything it passed through, and you could feel the scorching heat on your face, as if it would swallow you whole! There was only an iron chain connected to the other side, and it was heated until it was a fiery red.

“Medium go!” The tour guide suddenly shouted, snapping at Su Wen from his shocked state.

The two turned around, and Su Wen's eyes widened. There were many sharp daggers flying towards them, traveling at high speed! The dagger in front of them, the sea of fire behind them, the guide instantly made a choice. We'll go through the iron chain!

Being able to remain calm in this situation, the guide was truly a capable person. However, Su Wen was trembling in fear. When normal people saw the sea of fire, they did not even have time to feel afraid, nor did they dare to walk along the iron chains!

At the moment of this disturbance, the daggers had reached them, and from the reflection of the shining blade of the flame, they could clearly see their frightened faces!

Su Wen closed her eyes tightly, but the pain she expected did not come after a long time. His eyelashes trembled as he slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly discovered that the dagger had stopped two centimeters in front of them, hanging in midair. The scene was too bizarre, and was clearly violating the scientific law of gravity, he obviously could not use a normal logical mindset to analyze this.

The dagger hanging in the air split into two, and as the blade shattered, they saw a girl standing behind.

The soft-shining milky white skin reminded him of jade, and his smooth long hair fluttered behind him, even though there was no wind. The flame lit a soft red glow on his face, which gave a clear view of his delicate and elegant features. She was holding someone else, and when Su Wen recovered from her shock, she could clearly see the girl's face and was even at a loss for words.

Gu Xiqiao handed the person over to Su Wen, and Su Wen took him without comment. As soon as the burden passed, Su Wen staggered over the burden. He was surprised, seeing Gu Xiqiao carrying the girl without any problem, he thought the girl was not heavy. He did not expect the weight as he hugged her.

With his hands now free, Gu Xiqiao turned his gaze to the sea of fire. He only raised his hand slightly, there was no other movement, but before Su Wen could react, the entire sea of flames vanished, leaving only a pitch-black forest.

Their helplessness before the fire and dagger looked like a joke in his hand.

“Follow me, and remember the way,” Gu Xiqiao said, glancing at them before taking three steps north, seven steps south, five steps east, Gu Xiqiao led them out of ‘endless turn’ after only five short minutes. The two followed him closely, not daring to be left behind even a step. The fear that grasped their hearts so tightly had also disappeared, soothed by the confident slim figure before them.

After a while, the two finally saw the group they left behind. Fortunately, these people are very obedient. They had lit a fire and gathered together, not wandering too far.

Gu Xiqiao narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned to Su Wen. “Stay here and wait, don't wander.”

Su Wen and the guide nodded their heads hurriedly, after what had happened just now, the two of them placed all their trust in Gu Xiqiao, not minding his words at all.

Seeing that they had returned, the rest of the group came up to them, gathering around Su Wen to check on the girl in his arms.

Gu Xiqiao pursed his lips, his hands made a series of movements, and a small isolation formation was set around him. After doing that, he then walked into the darkness, intending to find a spirit that was walking in the mountains.

On the transparent panel in front of him, the last red dot was still moving at high speed. His speed was comparable to Gu Xiqiao, and it would require effort to achieve.

Furrowing his brows, Gu Xiqiao scanned the map for a while. Before he could think of anything, that fast-moving red dot had slowed down, finally stopping at the top of the mountain.

At the same time, the surrounding air fluctuated rapidly. Perhaps an ordinary person could not feel it, thinking it was just a gust of wind, but he could sense it clearly, it was a deep burst of chi!

The red dots on the map were increasingly flashing and getting fainter, appearing as if they were about to disappear.
