Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 131: Level 4 Reward

"Who are you calling a dog!" Cheng Meng was furious. He ignored the little girl and demanded, "Where’s Cheng the Second? His daughter insulted her elders like this, he must give an explanation."

"Just because you’re an elder doesn’t mean I have to let you off. Insulting someone isn’t illegal. I’m just following your orders. Even if you bring the village chief, it’s the same reasoning."

Cheng Xiaoxiao spread her hands, completely playing the rascal. Go ahead, try to accuse me!

Cheng Meng was so angry that he was about to make a move when a long sword was placed against his neck.

The atmosphere on the scene instantly froze.

With a blank expression, Dongfang Xu spoke slowly, "What do you think you’re doing?"

Cheng Meng broke out in a cold sweat. This person had killed the leader of the bandits, while he hadn’t even fought a single bandit underling. His former superiority from being undefeated in the village was clearly nonexistent.

Regretting his impulsive actions, his life almost at risk, he stammered, "I... I just want fairness."

As soon as he said this, the sword’s tip twisted, instantly drawing a trace of blood from Cheng Meng’s neck.

Frightened, he dared not move, quickly changing his words, "No, I mean... just wanted to say, the child didn’t understand, spoke wrongly, should be punished, should be punished, Xiao did right."

"Hmph!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Xu reluctantly withdrew his sword.

At this moment, Third Uncle and Seventh Uncle were carried over by their younger relatives.

"Though the clan leader and village chief are seriously injured now, it doesn’t mean there’s no one to take charge. At least the two of us old fellows are still alive," Third Uncle said in a heartfelt tone.

Seventh Uncle nodded, "Right! Xiao returned at the critical moment of life and death for our village, saving the entire village’s lives. For Cheng Meng’s family to pick a fight with Xiao for such an unreasonable reason is truly ungrateful."

The villagers also chimed in one after another.

"Yeah, using size and strength to bully a little girl, what kind of behavior is that?"

"Isn’t this just looking for trouble? If it weren’t for Xiao, Xiaocui would have been bullied by the bandits."

"And still has the nerve to cause trouble, truly shameless."

"And Xiaocui too, so young yet such a venomous tongue, which family would dare to marry her in the future!"

The women spoke one after another, getting more and more energetic as they went.

Cheng Meng was accustomed to being arrogant ordinarily, now fearing Dongfang Xu, he didn’t dare say another word, allowing the gossipy women to chatter, inwardly fuming, yet not daring to show any reaction.

Third Uncle raised his hand to signal for quiet, "I think this matter should be settled here. We’re all from the same village, meeting each other frequently. If we stir up conflict, it’s bad for everyone."

Then he looked around, "Everybody disperse! Those injured should go home and recuperate. The able-bodied men, transport the food back to each family’s house."

A woman hesitantly asked, "What about the money and property that were confiscated...?"

Everyone looked toward Cheng Xiaoxiao.

"It’s too late today, I’ll sort it out tomorrow and return it to each one of you."

At this moment, two small figures came running.

"Elder sister, elder sister!"

"Sister Xiaoxiao."

Cheng Jia and Cheng Ran had bright smiles on their faces. They had just witnessed their elder sister descend like a goddess to save everyone and were so happy they jumped for joy on the spot.

They wanted to rush down immediately but suddenly remembered something. Right, they almost forgot about Yi Bai.

Quickly, they ran back to Cheng Beiniu’s house, carrying the still-sleeping little nephew on their backs, and then came down the hill together.

Cheng Xiaoxiao, seeing the little ones safe and sound, felt very relieved, "You did great, you’re truly my siblings."

The two little ones, praised, were extremely happy.

"Let’s go, time to go home."

"Okay!"

Back home, Cheng Xiaoxiao busied herself applying medicine to everyone. Each one bore some bruises on their body. Cheng Xiaoxiao was busy until after 3 a.m. before she went to sleep.

The system originally wanted to remind the host that the upgrade reward box hadn’t been opened yet, but seeing how tired she looked, it decided to wait until she woke up.

The next day, everyone slept until late morning.

As soon as Cheng Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, the system started to chatter non-stop.

"What time is it now?"

"Almost noon!" the system replied honestly.

"Speak human language!"

"There are 40 minutes until 12." The system felt a bit wronged. It must seamlessly switch between ancient times and modern times. If it doesn’t answer well, the host will say it’s not even as good as an elementary student.

How can the system tolerate that? It is determined to learn all human knowledge as Tongzi, how can it be stumped by something as simple as time that even an elementary student knows.

It quickly learned, but... the host is really something else. One moment she wants to hear the ancient time, the next moment she wants the modern time.

It’s truly a headache... if it had a head.

Humans are so complicated!

Cheng Xiaoxiao clicked open the upgrade gift pack.

After a moment of flashing, large font and the same dazzling fireworks popped up, congratulating the host on winning .

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the pure white down jackets in her hands, kind of liking them. Although they aren’t needed now, you never know when they might be useful!

But... why are all five the same color and size!

How is she supposed to distribute them?

She tried them, they were much larger than her current build. If her dad wore them, they’d be a little tight, for girls, a little too big. The style is pretty conventional, unisex. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Oh well, she decided not to think too much, talk about it when they become useful.

"How’s this, host? Much better than the last prize, right!"

"Barely passable!"

She casually tossed it into the warehouse.

Oh! The warehouse actually has 60 cubic meters now, not bad, not bad.

Cheng Xiaoxiao opened the door to see Dalan and Xiaolan busy, along with Dahua and Xiaohua helping, "Why aren’t you resting a bit more, how are your injuries?"

Both Dalan and Xiaolan shook their heads.

Dahua smiled slightly, "Much better!"

Xiaolan mysteriously pulled Cheng Xiaoxiao to the side and whispered in her ear, "Sister Xiaoxiao, you didn’t know this but yesterday Brother Dashan saved Sister Dahua and even carried her. His look at Sister Dahua was really tender. Do you think Sister Dahua should offer herself as thanks?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao, of course, knew what was going on, just didn’t expect Xiaolan to have seen it so clearly. Only Dahua seemed oblivious, unsure if it’s disinterest or something else entirely.

Cheng Dashan was a really fine young man, should find a time to ask Dahua. If she’s interested, she should open up. If not, it’s important to let him know!

You can’t just keep someone hanging; that would make you a heartbreaker like a white lotus.

"Such a lively crowd!" Cheng Hao hobbled in.

"Second Brother, what are you doing here!"

"What do you mean, naturally I’m here to eat."

Later, Uncle and Big Brother came carrying Yi Bai.

Cheng Xiaoxiao realized they had arranged to eat together here. She had just gotten up, completely unaware of the plan.

Very soon, Leng Er brought a bunch of people inside, making her home feel even smaller and cramped.

After greeting Cheng Xiaoxiao, Leng Er moved to the right.

The four girls joined two large tables, Leng Er’s group used one, while their two families used another.

But Dongfang Xu insisted on sharing a table with Cheng Xiaoxiao, making everyone curiously observe the two.

Ahem!

Cheng Xiaoxiao embarrassedly said, "This is..."
