Chapter 379: Chapter 379

Qian Qi was silent for a moment, and after a long time, she covered her mouth and said softly, "It’s like if I don’t tell you where the boss is, you can’t do anything to me."

These words sounded like a provocation to the Commander. Being provoked by a civilian , the arrogant Commander couldn’t tolerate it. He immediately stood up, his large hand reaching for Qian Qi’s neck!

He couldn’t believe that if he choked Qian Qi’s throat, she would dare not obey military orders?

Coming to his army, she must put away her temper and obey his command! Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind replacing Qian Qi as a warning to others. As for some tracker, he didn’t believe that she’s the only one who could do it!

However, before that hand could reach Qian Qi’s throat, it was grabbed by a small hand at the wrist. The next moment, the Commander’s expression turned pale, and with a "crack," his wrist dislocated.

"Don’t touch me; I’m scared."

Qian Qi squeezed his limp dislocated wrist. Her originally timid face suddenly came close to his, and the sudden sinister chill made her whole face terrifying, "I said to rest for a day, so rest for a day."

The Commander had never seen such a terrifying face, scarier than a Magic Beast, almost choking with fright, nearly unable to catch his breath.

After warning the arrogant Commander, Qian Qi stood up, carrying her anger, frowned, and headed towards the deep lake in the center of Black Lotus Mountain.

She hadn’t expected the system to suddenly disappear. She squatted by the lake and called for it for a long time without hearing a response. Thinking for a moment, she began to apologize for her earlier actions, "Tongzi~ I don’t want a depreciation fee anymore~ I’ll keep feeding you with coins often in the future, so don’t be mad, okay?"

Qian Qi thought the system was ignoring her because she was too stingy, but no matter how she apologized and coaxed, the system remained silent.

Could it really be gone?

Did it just leave without a word?

Thinking about this possibility, the girl’s nose suddenly felt sour, and her eyes became slightly wet—not because she was sad about losing her Golden Finger, but because she believed she had a good relationship with the system. Although they often fought and made up, they got along quite well, so why did the system suddenly leave?

Could it be that the good relationship she thought she had was only her imagination?

When she first arrived in this Otherworld, the first thing she met was the system. The humanized, money-loving system undoubtedly gave her an inexplicable sense of security, allowing her to gradually adapt to this new world. Unknowingly, she had long regarded the system as a close friend or even family. But now, it disappeared without a word, undoubtedly delivering a massive blow to Qian Qi.

Unable to help herself, she recalled the times spent with the system, beginning to reflect on which actions had angered it so much, causing it to leave so heartbroken. As she thought about how the system might never return, a tear couldn’t help but fall. Her voice choked, "I won’t dress you in floral shorts anymore, is that okay... nor will I cover you in saliva or kick you into the sea..."

"Why did you leave me... You were my only trusted family..."

Clearly, you brought me here, so why did you leave me...

Because of her restraint, the girl tightly pursed her lips, even a peach-pit pattern appeared on her chin from holding back. She stubbornly refused to shed a second tear. Attracted by her presence, a Magic Fish surfaced from the deep lake of Black Lotus Mountain, only to be smashed with a punch by the girl.

"Stupid fish! What are you looking at! Never seen someone upset?" Qian Qi scolded.

Dead stupid fish: ...Really never seen.

Squatting by the lake, Qian Qi smashed thirty-six Magic Fish in total, but the system still did not respond. She finally understood that she had really been abandoned. The suppressed longing for her family and friends from her past life, the huge sense of abandonment and helplessness, along with the sudden confusion about the future, entwined together, unsettling Qian Qi, leaving her heartbroken.

When Nangong Yan, Yan Shuiyue, and Su Ang found her, she was curled up by the lake, surrounded by a pile of dead fish, her legs held tight, and two streams of tears flowed out like spring water, ceaseless like running seawater.

Yan Shuiyue’s pink lips slightly parted in surprise.

It was the first time she’d seen a boy cry . Two large crystal teardrops first gathered at the corners of the slender boy’s clear eyes, then streamed down his fair face with a fluttering of his soft black hair. A few strands stuck to the tears on his face, making his little face seem even more delicate and stunning.

Like a wounded young merman caught by humans, it didn’t appear vain or effeminate, but instead made people want to protect him, even wanting to pursue who would make him sad to this extent.

It seemed like the first time she understood why Su Ang and Han Yali would say that Qian Dafang was very attractive.

He looked beautifully excessive when crying, making people want to hug and console him more than a crying girl.

Yan Shuiyue, driven by something beyond her control, stepped forward and gently placed her hand on Qian Qi’s shoulder, giving her a soft pat.

Nangong Yan watched the teary Qian Qi, the expression in his peach blossom-colored eyes suddenly darkened, then he turned abruptly and walked away with large strides.

Su Ang crouched down, raising a hand to wipe away the tears at Qian Qi’s eyes. However, as he was about to touch them, the girl’s slight evasive action made Su Ang snap back to reality, reminding him of their previously awkward situation. He curled his fingers with a gloomy gaze and took out a handkerchief from his pocket.

He had developed the habit of carrying a handkerchief with him ever since he saw Nangong Yan hand one to Qian Qi.

But Qian Qi did not take the handkerchief. She cradled her legs and slightly turned to the side.

"I’m really useless, really." Her voice was hoarse, "I can’t find the instance boss’s location anymore."

Yan Shuiyue was slightly stunned, not expecting her tears to be for this reason, and gently asked, "Why?"

Qian Qi pinched her lips, the walnut pattern on her chin appearing again in grievance, "I..."

How could she say she had lost the system?

Su Ang, standing nearby, misinterpreted her words, "Is it because you don’t have enough money, leading to insufficient Divine Power?"

She once said that to have money would enhance her Divine Power to predict the instance and boss’s location.

Mentioning money, Qian Qi’s tears flowed more fiercely. She shouldn’t have been so stingy, causing the system to be angry and unwilling to bind with her, even leaving without a word.

Qian Qi burst into tears with a "wah," like a small, wilting cabbage in the wind, looking extremely pitiful, "Money... need money... sob sob—"

Tongzi would never again pester her for money in every possible way...

She wished she could give all the money to Tongzi, to make it come back...

The girl’s weeping broke Su Ang’s heart; it seemed she wasn’t crying over needing money but for something else. He couldn’t figure out what exactly made her so sad, only wishing to transfer all the money from his personal account to her, to see her smile again.

Yan Shuiyue’s heart also nearly broke. She had a definite penchant for beauty and strength. Although Qian Qi now looked rather shabby compared to earlier, her overwhelming sense of sadness evoked a strange motherly urge in Yan Shuiyue, compelling her to say, "Don’t cry... How much money do you need?"

She gently patted Qian Qi’s back, feeling her own heartache and hoping to seize the chance to win Qian Qi over, "I’ll transfer it to you." Read complete versıon only at novel⚑fire.net

Qian Qi’s cries gradually subsided, her emotions vented as her rationality returned, making her feel somewhat embarrassed. She whispered, "Three, three hundred million, is that okay?"

Yan Shuiyue began to regret being so easily swayed by beauty.
