Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 364 - 356: Testing Each Other

Seeing Cheng Xiaoxiao’s big eyes blink as she regained consciousness, the maid was overjoyed.

Before she could greet her, she rushed out in a hurry.

"Quick, tell the Family Head, the patient is awake."

The Family Head had said that this girl’s identity was very important, and she couldn’t be neglected in the slightest. As soon as she woke up, he had to be notified immediately.

Hey, just ran off like that?

Can someone untie her?

Feeling carefully, besides the serious internal injuries, her arm was severely injured, and her legs were externally wounded. Why cover her up so tightly, like a zongzi, leaving no gaps? It would make one sick even if they weren’t... so uncomfortable!

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in!

Someone was startled.

"Oh, the little wildcat is finally willing to wake up! Cough, cough!"

When she saw the man’s bewitching face with a smile as warm as the winter sun, exuding an indescribable noble aura, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s heart couldn’t help but clench.

At this moment, her whole body couldn’t move, and there was no way to avoid him.

Sikong Yinlong reached out and took the young girl’s pulse, huh! In just two days, she had recovered so much?

Normally, the internal organs and meridians of the young girl were severely damaged.

It would take at least three months to improve, and even after three months, she would only be able to engage in simple activities, not martial arts.

But now it seems she could get out of bed in less than three months.

"Indeed, not a simple girl." She has many secrets on her, no wonder he found her interesting at first sight.

"Can you stay away from me?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was not used to strangers being so close to her, especially a stranger with ill intentions.

Although in her previous life, she was a face-judger, naturally more amiable and tolerant towards handsome guys, especially those with chiseled features in military uniforms, which could undoubtedly make one’s adrenaline surge, making one want to marry them home immediately for daily admiration.

But not Sikong Yinlong’s type... This guy was too seductively beautiful, dangerously charming, and could take lives with a smile.

It gave no rise to any affections.

She couldn’t afford to look at him any longer, feeling like her life was at risk with each extra glance.

However, that was then.

Now!

She was still afraid, her inherent sense of danger unchanged, but the circumstances had changed.

Since this guy had something to gain from her, unwilling to let her lose her life, there was room for maneuver.

"Does the little wildcat have some misunderstanding about me?" Sikong Yinlong’s voice was filled with laughter.

Being on guard against an unparalleled beauty and talented man, completely unaffected by his charm, was truly a pleasant surprise! Despite the surprise, it also brought about a slight sense of unfulfillment.

The dignified Sikong Family Master, to be despised.

Since childhood, his overwhelmingly beautiful appearance always brought unnecessary trouble; neither men nor women could resist his face. Once he dropped his intimidating demeanor, countless women would eagerly flock to him, secretly pledging their hearts, refusing to marry anyone but him.

Because of these frequent troubles, he really hated others calling him beautiful or being awestruck by his beauty.

At this moment, however, he couldn’t help but doubt if his beauty and charm were not enticing enough.

Cough, cough!

Unintentionally coughing twice, sigh! For the little girl, he was seriously injured, yet the other party didn’t appreciate it. Truly heartless.

"Do I know you? Not really, just that I’m not sure how I offended the Sikong Family Master, hoping for some clarification."

She was indeed petty; the revenge of being harmed earlier hadn’t been avenged yet!

Even if he had saved her with an ulterior motive now, it was different from harming her before, and the two couldn’t be mixed up.

She had to figure out why he treated her so harshly before?

Cen Ran was compelled to save her now because she was a variable, but back then they didn’t know each other, and she didn’t believe she had offended Sikong Family or had any entangled interests.

Understanding the causal past was essential to handle the future.

"No need for the little wildcat to panic, it was just a misunderstanding then, didn’t I save your life now? Consider it even, how about that?"

He didn’t care about Cheng Xiaoxiao’s guarded and disdainful gaze; his smile was as warm as spring, and his demeanor inexplicably amiable.

"Not so, if you won’t say, then never mind."

She was too lazy for rhetoric, completely unable to see through this person. Intuition told her, this smiling and gentle-looking person was full of calculations inside, not as he appeared, so she simply closed her eyes to rest.

"Tut tut, such a big temper."

Seeing the young girl’s unwilling demeanor, the first meeting seemed to leave not so good an impression on her.

"Let me reintroduce myself. I’m the current master of the Sikong Family, Sikong Yinlong, also known as Xiao, and you are specially allowed to call me by my nickname."

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched, how thick-skinned this person was, specially allowing... who needs it?

"No need, we’re not that familiar yet. If the Sikong Family Master has any intentions, feel free to speak." As she spoke, she opened her eyes again, with a change of thought.

Hehehe!

Seeing this, Sikong Yinlong couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "What are you talking about, little wildcat? What intentions can I have? It’s just a prodigal seeing a talented person, reluctant to see such an interesting person innocently destroy themselves, wouldn’t the world then lose much fun."

Who would have thought the variable would turn out to be an unknown little girl.

Even though the Great Elder predicted the turning point had arrived and sent many people to search, they found no clues. Who could have thought to find was a little girl without a handful of meat?

If not for the Divination Dragon Staff’s absolute infallibility, he would’ve doubted his initial divination.

On the night he dragged his injured body back, he went to the Nine Sources for two more readings, and only with the same result did he have to believe it.

Fate indeed plays tricks.

"You really know how to joke."

"The little wildcat has much confidence now! So fearlessly relying on the fact that I won’t kill you now?

Let me guess, you’re so eager for an answer, isn’t it because you want to know why I wanted to kill you and yet saved you?"

"Isn’t that so?" Cheng Xiaoxiao said, with a bit of pettiness and unwillingness, making it seem like the emotions a teenage girl should have should be exposed.

"Then you’ve wronged the good guy. I already said I’m just a prodigal person, with my strength, if I truly intended to take your life back then, it wouldn’t take any effort, no need for this much talk, wasn’t it just seeing someone capable and wanting to make friends?"

More like a game, if not for the change of identity now, she was sure this person would torture people in who knows what ways, coming to pretend as a gentleman, isn’t it too late!

Humph! Just thinking of smoothing it over with a few words and expecting her to work for the Sikong Family, not a chance.

Cheng Xiaoxiao suppressed her disdain, her gaze complex, wanting to drop everything and leave, but her body wouldn’t allow it, and she had to play along, giving herself a way out, hence her earlier petulant remark.
