Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 130: Upgrade Complete, Face-Slapping

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Upgrade Complete, Face-Slapping

Seeing this situation, the little Zeng Family felt proud in her heart but pretended to be bitter on the surface, "Aunt said he was out of breath, but you refused to believe it and even wronged her. Now you’re treating Grandpa’s corpse like this, it’s just too... too..."

Her snide, unfinished words made Cheng Xiaoxiao so upset she wanted to hit someone.

On top of that, the countdown of the last ten seconds reminded her of the task completion notification sound, beep beep beep.

10~

9~

8~

7~

...

Cheng Xiaoxiao was annoyed by all the various noises.

She shouted angrily!

"Shut up!"

In her anger, she treated the clan leader beneath her as a table and slammed down a heavy fist.

Ha~!

In the last second of the task countdown, the clan leader under the heavy blow took a deep breath; his head suddenly lifted high, either because Cheng Xiaoxiao hit too hard or as a result of inhaling.

The villagers watching around were so frightened that they fell down, trembling, unable to speak clearly, "Re... resurrection!"

The little Zeng Family was even more terrified, screamed, and fell to the ground, scrambling to climb behind the crowd.

Only Cheng Tianhong was happily shouting, "My dad’s alive! My dad’s alive!"

Amidst everyone’s doubt and shock, the clan leader slowly opened his presbyopic eyes.

"It’s great, it’s great, Xiao saved my dad, Dad, how do you feel?" he said as he helped the clan leader up.

Realizing what happened, the family quickly came forward to show concern, and Cheng Xiaoxiao, unprepared, was pushed to the ground.

Dongfang Xu swiftly supported her, just about to express his anger...

"I’m fine, I’m fine!"

Such trivial matters are not worth fussing over, especially since others have just lost their mother and almost their father.

"Xiao, my dad’s alright now, right?" Cheng Tianhong asked, still unsure.

"Hmm, have Grandpa Huang come take a look, he probably needs medication for recovery."

She wasn’t very knowledgeable in this area. Although she had studied medicine for a time, her skills were quite inadequate!

There was nothing more for her to do now, so she left the matter to Grandpa Huang.

She carefully navigated through the disorganized crowd and started heading back. Suddenly, someone grabbed her ankle, giving her a fright.

Before she regained her composure, a sharp female voice rang out.

The tirade was so loud it nearly shattered her eardrums.

"Cheng Daya, you wicked woman, why did you return so late?"

"Boohoo! You’re so cruel, waiting until my mom died to come save her, you did it on purpose."

Dongfang Xu kicked away the hand that grabbed Cheng Xiaoxiao, just as he was about to draw his sword, Cheng Xiaoxiao stopped him.

Cheng Xiaoxiao gave Dongfang Xu a warning look.

These are villagers, not bandits, why draw your sword! Do you intend to kill someone, brute!

Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Then, she said unpleasantly to the person in front, "Cheng Xiaocui, did you take the wrong medicine or what!"

Cheng Xiaocui held her hand, which was kicked and was now painful and numb, looking venomously at the two people in front.

She got up from the ground and pointed at Cheng Xiaoxiao’s nose, scolding, "You held a grudge because of the incident when I pushed you into the water, waited for my mom to die before coming back! Cheng Daya, you’re cold-hearted and petty, still seeking revenge for something so long ago."

"Boohoo, my poor mom! You died so tragically with someone standing by and doing nothing to help!" Saying this, she held her mother’s corpse and wailed loudly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked sharply at Cheng Xiaocui, who was pointing at her nose and scolding her.

Has Cheng Xiaocui gone mad?

Her mom died at the hands of bandits, and she’s blaming me?

Does she really think I’m that easy to bully?

"A brain is a good thing, you still have time to develop it."

"You... you, who do you think you are, how dare you scold me, watch me rip your mouth apart."

She was about to step forward, but was pulled back by a woman nearby.

The woman smiled apologetically, "Xiaoxiao, Xiaocui just lost her mother, her words might be incoherent, don’t mind her!"

"Third aunt, why are you pulling me!"

She turned her head and glared viciously at Cheng Xiaoxiao, wearing a sky-blue dress, spotless and elegant, out of place among their country girls, and her features were becoming more delicate.

She wished she could tear apart this fair face, feeling more twisted and jealous by the minute.

She spontaneously blurted out dirty words, "You vixen, always flirting around, not doing any..."

Slap!

Cheng Xiaoxiao gave Cheng Xiaocui a slap.

"If it hurts, don’t mind it."

"You......."

She had always been the one bullying Cheng Daya, when had she ever suffered such humiliation? She raised her hand to slap back.

Cheng Xiaoxiao directly kicked her flying.

With a bang, Cheng Xiaocui was sent flying.

Wow!

The effect is so good!

Just now, the system transferred power to her, a total of 88 points, and she immediately chose to add them all to her attribute points. A pleasant electric current surged through every cell, instantly making her feel like she could float.

At this point, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s character panel showed an update.

Level Four Host: Cheng Xiaoxiao

Star Age: Bone Age 13

System Coin: 711.0 coins

Strength Value: 96

Sensitivity Value: 29

Five Senses Value: 27

Special Skills: None

Rare Pet: None

This 96 strength value is not imaginary; Cheng Xiaoxiao’s entire body strength is now comparable to a Samurai, her body lightened and became much more agile, so much so that she could clearly hear even the smallest noise in the distance.

[Congratulations host, task completion rate 100%, reward: one Crystal Fragment, collect the Octagonal Crystal to receive special rewards.]

The small upgrade gift box on the bottom right of the screen shimmered with multicolored lights.

"Host, host, quickly check what’s inside this time?"

Before Cheng Xiaoxiao could operate it, Cheng Meng aggressively came forward to ask accountability.

"Cheng the Second’s girl, don’t be too overbearing."

If not for the intimidating man beside him, he would have lost his temper a long time ago, plus when did this girl become so strong.

"Who exactly is overbearing here, your whole family not only doesn’t appreciate me saving you but even wants to pin the bandit’s actions on me, you really have some nerve."

"Dad, I’m in so much pain, I feel like dying, Cheng Daya has such a cruel heart, she even tried to kick me to death." Cheng Xiaocui cried, sweating coldly, her face pale, feeling as if her bones were falling apart.

Cheng Meng didn’t know what to say at first, but seeing his daughter’s miserable state, anger surged instantly.

"Even if my daughter was at fault, it was just a verbal conflict, how dare you use such a heavy hand, trying to take my Xiaocui’s life, you’re truly evil."

Cheng Xiaoxiao sneered coldly, "By your account, no matter how someone scolds you, you have to take it, as long as no hands are involved?"

"Of course, it’s just some words, they won’t eat a piece of flesh, you..."

"What about you, looking at you—too thickset, sinister eyebrows, drooping jaw—we’d say you’ve a life that curses your wife; your wife probably died because of you."

Cheng Meng was taken aback, a Cheng Family member ascribing such nonsense, his thoughts burst out, "You little girl, meals can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can’t be spoken indiscriminately."

Cheng Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow with a smile, "Oh! Now words can’t be spoken randomly, didn’t you just say, saying whatever is fine, doesn’t take a piece of flesh, I mentioned you, did you lose a piece of flesh?"

All the villagers around stifled smiles.

"You......"

"Why are officials allowed to set fires, but commoners aren’t allowed to light lamps! That’s real double standard!"
