Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 449 - 440: Sweet Dreams

It was a silent, clear night, where on a relatively spacious mountaintop, those who had escaped were camping.

The four men keeping watch by the fire were all injured, their bandages stained with a dark red, dried blood.

The firelight illuminated the low, dead grass nearby, where several people lay.

Some winced quietly in pain from their wounds, some stared wide-eyed, sleepless all night, while others with big hearts snored softly.

A few leaders sat cross-legged, healing themselves.

"Brother Wang, do you think Little Brother Cheng is still alive?"

Beside him, a worried-looking skinny tall man couldn’t help but ask.

This group was considered relatively lucky.

Five or six crocodiles had chased them, leading them away from the main crocodile group.

They surprisingly encountered a larger group that had escaped first, and together swiftly dealt with these crocodiles before fleeing here.

Completely shaking off the crocodile pursuit, what was incredible to everyone was that Little Brother Cheng single-handedly held off the main crocodile force, allowing them to escape. Such a favor made everyone sigh, as if anticipating a tragic end for Little Brother Cheng.

No one knew how to repay him.

It seemed like there wouldn’t be a chance now.

They didn’t know if Little Brother Cheng had family; they must treat his family well when they return.

Everyone’s thoughts varied, some felt it was only natural.

Miss Xiao was the calmest, as in a hidden corner, she smirked sarcastically.

Serves him right!

His death is good, considered a relief in advance, saves her the trouble of finding someone to do it.

Daring to challenge her as a lowly person without any background? Really didn’t know his limits, brought about his own destruction.

Without Cheng Xiaoxiao causing trouble, her days were much easier.

"Little Brother Cheng is so capable, he surely will turn peril into safety and return safely; stop speculating."

Wang Dao lowered his eyes, using the twig in his hand to stir the fire, making it burn more fiercely, the crackling sparks jumping about, his worry no less than others.

Their lives had been saved unknowingly how many times; without Little Brother Cheng, they would have long been buried in the dense forest.

Under the firelight, their faces not looking good; believing is one thing, the reality is another. No matter how good his personal ability, how many aces up his sleeve, there’s a time when they run out, those crocodiles are indeed ruthless; escape from a collective attack isn’t easy.

Wang Dao lay back against a large rock, lost in wild thoughts.

Part of him silently prayed: the little guy could escape and return.

One part wondered, if the little guy sacrificed himself, should he set up a cenotaph, or take care of his family?

Though he only mentioned having a master, completely unaware of his family situation, must investigate thoroughly upon returning.

Only now regretted not finding out clearly, never expected the sudden change to come so quickly, catching everyone off guard.

While Cheng Xiaoxiao was much thought about by people, she was dreamily asleep.

In her sleep, laughing foolishly.

She crossed through time, bringing the big guy to the modern era, into a bustling metropolis, dressing him in tailored suits and shoes, his hair cut short and slicked back, his natural frame looking good in anything.

With a complete makeover, as handsome as ever.

Nonetheless, feeling as though she pulled an immortal into the mortal world, with an underlying delight and guilt, conflicting her nerves.

Contradictory yet stimulating.

The scene shifted, she wore a white wedding gown, turning again and again in front of the fitting room mirror.

She looked so beautiful today!

Finally could match up with the big guy.

Soon in the grand hall, the entire hall was covered in pink flowers, vibrant and dripping; she was surrounded by a sea of flowers, her face filled with a happy smile.

The sharply dressed person slowly walked toward her.

His gaze was dismissive, elegant and noble.

They walked together to the pink platform, receiving the blessings and witnessing from friends and family.

Suddenly, the crowd cheered:

"Kiss! Kiss!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, her shy gaze darting around, not daring to meet his eyes.

She was anticipating but also embarrassed, what to do?

He gently lifted her chin, his sexy thin lips approaching, her heart skipped a beat, almost suffocating from excitement...

The anticipated beauty didn’t come, instead, she felt a chill on her face.

"What is this?"

She messily wiped her face, a black and yellow sticky material stuck instantly to her fingers.

Faintly smelling a stench.

Opening her dazed eyes, she looked up to see the little guy who did the bad deed, flapping its wings instantly, flying toward the bright moon in the deep blue sky.

Clear pond water reflected the beauty of the deep sky, under the moonlight’s setting, the bird was entirely black, extending its wings on one side of the moon to the other, flying steadily in one direction, looking as if drawn onto the moon. It was petite, neck long and thin, two long legs stretching back, quite leisurely.

Cheng Xiaoxiao already realized the beauty just now was all her day thoughts leading to night dreams, wished to pull the big guy onto the ship.

Being single for so long, having some thoughts was understandable.

But what’s the situation now? Could it be she’s still dreaming?

A little black bird pooped on her face, caught in the act, then flew into the sky, circling back and forth, flaunting irritably.

She felt somewhat magical.

Quickly wiped off the dirt on her face, heart full of expletives unsure how to curse out.

Used wet wipes several times, finally noticing someone meditating beside her.

Thinking about the dream just now, she felt somewhat embarrassed to greet.

"Since you’re awake, quickly leave this place."

The big guy left those words, quickly dived into the Crystal Pendant inside, still as succinct as ever, not giving a chance to speak.

Momentarily embarrassed and ashamed, missed the best time to chat.

Oh well!

In the long days ahead, she’ll have plenty of time, no rush now.

Hmm, cheer up!

She can do it.

Moreover, this body is still young, really can’t do much anyway.

Ahem!

Is she overthinking?

Back to the main point, she better leave quickly.

Cleaned up the mess on the table, retraced her steps, Cheng Xiaoxiao ventured outside again.

After exiting the cave, she circled around several times, didn’t find another way out.

"Ah Mo, how do I leave here?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, thinking this time would be like before, with no response.

Unexpectedly, the Crystal Pendant flashed slightly.

Getting a hint, Cheng Xiaoxiao was very happy, even if he didn’t come out, having a guide was good!

Every time Cheng Xiaoxiao took the right route, the pendant would glow faintly, quickly getting the hang of its use.

Came to a cliffside, she already went far from where she fell.

Seeing no other hint from the pendant, seems the exit is here.

Looking up, gauging the sky above the cliff wasn’t far, this cliff can be climbed.

Isn’t it just rock climbing?

With her current fitness, surely not a problem.
