20demayo Chapter 17 Mountain Bandits Rob, Gu Liuli Unleashes a Miraculous Trick!
Chapter 17 Mountain Bandits Rob, Gu Liuli Unleashes a Miraculous Trick!
Her heart leaped into her throat, and she cried out anxiously, "My grandson! Where are you?" As she called out, she frantically searched around.
When they found him, they discovered Mu Zhaoqi lying in a pool of blood, with Jia Yuan, disheveled, holding him.
Wang Guangrong's wife, Wang Zhi, even discovered that Jia Yuan had been bullied, and this room was a superior room—Hou Deming's room!
Her eyes widened in horror, and she rushed forward to hug Mu Zhaoqi, bursting into tears: "My dear grandson! How could you have become like this? Who did this to you?"
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the disheveled and dazed woman beside them, who was none other than Jia Yuan. She was holding Mu Zhaoqi tightly, tears streaming down her face.
Standing to the side, Feng Xia noticed Jia Yuan's disheveled clothes and tear-streaked face, and immediately understood what had happened.
She angrily pointed at Jia Yuan and said, "You shameless woman! How could you do such a scandalous thing! You have completely disgraced the Mu family!" In an instant, the whole scene was in chaos, with cries and curses echoing through the sky.
After Zhao Hu settled everything and found a doctor, he managed to save Mu Zhaoqi's life.
Hou Deming also had to return to the Nanzhao Kingdom to report today. He was terrified that the poison might take effect at any time, but he dared not cause trouble for no reason.
He privately asked other doctors, but they all gave the same answer: "Sir, we checked your pulse and found no signs of poisoning. It's just that you've been overexerting yourself lately!"
He had seen so many doctors who all said he was fine, so he didn't care and thought Gu Liuli was just trying to fool him!
"Host, you haven't claimed your reward yet after completing the last mission. The reward has been distributed to your space, and you still have three chances to draw a prize. The validity period ends today!" the system suddenly announced.
The system's voice rang in Gu Liuli's ears, startling her.
At this moment, everyone was tending to their families, except for Gu Liuli. Xiao Jingchuan noticed that whenever Gu Liuli closed her eyes, the aura around her changed, and sometimes it was as if there was no aura at all.
Therefore, whenever Gu Liuli's consciousness enters the space, Xiao Jingchuan will protect her like a knight.
For example, Xiao Jingchuan now took the initiative to let Xuan Huo place him next to Gu Liuli. Although he did not know that his Crown Princess was very mysterious and could not understand her, the toxins in his body were constantly decreasing and his power was recovering.
Seeing Xiao Jingchuan's protection of her in the space, it would be impossible for Gu Liuli not to feel a flutter in her heart.
"Ding!"
"Host, you have three more chances to draw a prize. Would you like to draw a prize immediately?" the system asked again.
Gu Liuli felt a surge of excitement; this was a rare opportunity! If she could draw some rare items, it would greatly enhance her strength. Therefore, she nodded without hesitation: "Draw!"
As she finished speaking, the virtual interface began to rotate and flash, with various lights and shadows intertwining, dazzling and mesmerizing.
A few seconds later, a golden dot of light landed above the "mystery chest".
A moment later, a virtual interface appeared before my eyes, displaying a variety of reward options.
Please select your reward from the following options:
1. Thank you for your patronage! (90% chance of winning)
2. Concealment Scroll (grants temporary invisibility)
3. Combat Skill Enhancement Book (randomly enhances one combat skill)
Gu Liuli twitched her mouth when she saw the first item! And it even said "Thank you for your patronage!" Plus, the winning rate was 90%! The other two items didn't even have a 10% chance!
She now strongly suspects that the system is secretly sabotaging her!
However, after careful consideration, Gu Liuli looked at the last two options and realized that the most urgent task was to strengthen her own abilities in order to meet the upcoming challenges.
So, she chose the combat skill enhancement book without hesitation.
Just as the disc was spinning, Gu Liuli silently wished for it to stop.
"Ding!" The numbers on the disc stopped displaying "Thank you for your patronage!"
There was a "ding!" sound during the second lottery draw.
“Thank you for your patronage!”
Gu Liuli stared at the large disc in front of her with eyes blazing with fury.
Even Xiao Jingchuan, who was guarding outside, could feel Gu Liuli's anger. Xiao Jingchuan gently smoothed Gu Liuli's eyebrows.
Gu Liuli, inside the space, shuddered. Looking at Xiao Jingchuan's worried expression outside, she decided to give it another try!
If it still doesn't work!
……
Perhaps Xiao Jingchuan triggered Gu Liuli's psychology this time, and she spun the roulette wheel again.
"Congratulations, host! You have obtained a combat skill upgrade book. Please select the skill you wish to upgrade!"
A list of skills appeared on the screen, including various categories such as swordsmanship, fist fighting, archery, and magic.
Gu Liuli's heart stirred. She thought of the dangers Hou Deming might encounter and unconsciously chose swordsmanship.
As she pressed the confirmation button, a powerful surge of energy flowed into her body, giving her an unprecedented sense of strength and agility.
This feeling thrilled her; it seemed as if she could easily cut through any obstacle by simply swinging the sword in her hand.
This reward delighted Gu Liuli. Perhaps it would be worth a try to use it to deal with those despicable bandits.
When Gu Liuli came out of the space, she found Wang Nannan standing not far away, her little face dark and innocent.
"Nannan, come here!" She immediately waved her hand and called the little girl over.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Wang Nannan had a small scratch on her neck, and the thin prison uniform seemed a bit too big, indicating that Wang Guangrong had torn an adult's prison uniform into a smaller size to put on the child because he was afraid she would get cold.
"Fairy Sister, are you tired?" A clear, bell-like voice rang out. Wang Nannan blinked her big eyes and looked curiously at Gu Liuli not far away.
Gu Liuli sat there quietly, like a blooming lotus flower, beautiful and serene.
However, what attracted Wang Nannan's attention was not only Gu Liuli herself, but also the disabled older brother sitting next to her.
This older brother had a cold and stern face, and his serious expression seemed to freeze the surrounding air, making people feel intimidated.
Little Wang Nannan was a little scared. After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't have the courage to go forward and ask what was going on.
Thus, the scene that unfolded when I opened my eyes was what I saw.
Just then, Gu Liuli seemed to sense Wang Nannan's gaze, slowly opened her eyes, and turned her gaze to Xiao Jingchuan beside her.
"Yes, my sister is a little tired, so she closed her eyes to rest for a while."
As Gu Liuli spoke, she hugged the thin little girl tightly. When no one was paying attention, she secretly took out a candy from her spatial storage and put it in the little girl's mouth.
The little girl's tongue tasted a slightly sour, nine-tenths sweet fructose, and she happily squinted her eyes.
When Wang Guangrong and Wang Zhi discovered that their daughter was missing, fearing that she had been kidnapped by bandits, they searched their faces with pale faces. Not far away, they found Wang Nannan next to the Crown Princess.
"Your Highness, Crown Princess!" The two walked over with brisk steps and greeted Xiao Jingchuan and the others.
On the second day, Wang Guangrong discovered that he had been drugged. After learning that it was the Crown Princess who saved Wang Zhi, he was still shaken because he knew how much Wang Zhi cared about his chastity.
If it weren't for Gu Liuli, their family would have been destroyed.
Just look at Jia Yuan, whose chastity was destroyed, and you'll understand.
Jia Yuan's days are incredibly difficult. Besides serving the whole family, she is also forced to endure insults. This is the chastity of women in ancient times! It is also the thing that modern people find most unbearable.
If this happened in a modern, open society, they'd probably be drowned in spittle by these old fogies!
