Chapter 303: Volume 1, Chapter 303: You Are My System (13)

After Jiang Zhi gained a physical form, she could not only feel hunger but also grew fatigued and sleepy; after walking a while, she no longer wanted to continue forward.

"Ah Xun, carry me on your back." She stood in place, arms outstretched, her tone ending with a hint of softness.

Xie Xunze moved his finger to the option to disable the physical form.

Jiang Zhi immediately stopped being stubborn and followed him, continuing to walk.

They walked for a while.

Xie Xunze stopped, his gaze falling on her ankle, and asked, "Where does it hurt?"

Jiang Zhi pointed to her heel and said, aggrieved, "My foot hurts."

Before, when she was intangible, walking any distance didn't hurt, but now she wasn't used to walking in a physical form, and she rarely manifested physically, so her heels were rubbed raw and her socks were stained with blood.

Xie Xunze took out a bandage from his bag, half-knelt on the ground, and gently applied it to the abrasion.

Just as he was about to stand up, the girl in front of him would not let him off so easily; she straddled his neck and giggled, "Hehe, I want to ride a horse~"

Xie Xunze's face tightened: "Zhizhi, don't joke."

Jiang Zhi grabbed his ear and refused to let go, "Are you carrying me or not?"

Xie Xunze's ears turned red, spreading to his face, and he said, "Carry."

Jiang Zhi happily got down, stretched her arms around his neck, lay flat on his back, and lazily said, "All right, we can go now."

Xie Xunze did his best to ignore the softness pressed against his back and strode forward.

Not long after they started walking, the girl on his back fell into a deep sleep, her cheek turned to one side, her breathing light and even, warm breath spraying onto the skin of his neck.

Xie Xunze's fingers, unconsciously tightening as they supported her legs, made the girl let out an unhappy "whimper".

His heart pounded violently, that breath seeping into his five viscera and six bowels, penetrating deep into his marrow.

…

The most luxurious hotel in the city center, whether its floor or marble pillars, is worth an inch of gold per inch of land; it has a total of 60 floors, the floor is covered with thick carpet extending all the way to the elevator area, even the tables placed in the central lounge of the main hall are tinged with a pale gold, the hall is huge, and it takes several minutes to walk from the lounge to the cashier.

She sat on the sofa in the lounge; this sofa was far more comfortable than the one at their residence, the coffee table in front held snacks, and a servant had just poured hot water.

"Wait here for me, don't wander off, got it?" Xie Xunze urged anxiously.

Jiang Zhi bounced up while sitting on the sofa, enjoying the melodic piano drifting from the nearby round platform, and answered perfunctorily, "I know."

Not long after Xie Xunze left, a group of people came to the lounge and sat down.

They were the male and female leads, along with a few of their teammates.

"Finally we can rest, I'm exhausted." The blond male speaker first spoke, lying back lazily on the opposite sofa without any posture.

The male lead, Mu Tianyi, said, "Go back, pack up, and we'll set out tomorrow."

Meng Qi, face full of worry and resentment, said, "Captain, do we really have to go there? This is too soon, I heard that an elite squad sent by the South China faction recently lost contact—can't we wait until we're a higher level before going?"

The blond male glanced at him and said, "Look at your pathetic self, what are you afraid of? Our captain just broke through the 90th level barrier, and his abilities have greatly increased—what's there to fear?"

The female lead, the core member of the team, Wen Qian, said, "Don't panic, believe we can definitely complete the mission. We've survived countless life‑and‑death crises before, so we must trust ourselves."

Mu Tianyi said, "Qianqian's words are spot on; you don't need to be afraid."

Having said that, he got up and went to the cashier to handle the paperwork.

The blond male couldn't sit still; just as he was about to get up to stretch, he looked up and saw a person wrapped up like a zongzi opposite him.

He raised an eyebrow and walked over.

"Hey, were you just eavesdropping?"

Caught red‑handed, Jiang Zhi retorted confidently, "What's eavesdropping? You were speaking so loudly, yet you blame me for hearing it?"

The blond male, never having met someone as sharp‑tongued as her, seemed to have found amusement, sat down beside her on the sofa with legs crossed, and said, "Why are you all wrapped up like that? Is it because you're too ugly to show your face?"

Jiang Zhi sneered, "How could you be ugly? You dyed your hair the color of feces—utterly hideous."

Hearing that, the blond male flared up, "I hate it when people comment on my hair—do you want to die, you bastard?"

Jiang Zhi's expression grew even fiercer; she stood, pointed at him, and snapped, "Hah, I'm not afraid of you—today it's either you die or you perish!"

The blond male blinked, then, realizing what she'd said, flared with shame and anger, "What nonsense are you spouting?!"

As the words fell, he raised his hand to beat her, but Jiang Zhi wouldn't let him; she lifted her foot and kicked him hard in the groin.

The blond male, in agony, fell down and unintentionally pulled off the light gauze covering her face.

"You bastard, you're dead——" he hadn't finished when, through his blurred vision, a peerless visage appeared: brows slightly furrowed, porcelain‑white face faintly flushed with pink, downcast eyes glimmering with a pale green light, tinged with resentment.

"I'm the one who's dead? I think you're the one who's done for!" Jiang Zhi said, then immediately kicked him again, mercilessly.

His shrill cry drew the attention of the opposite team; a short‑haired girl saw the situation and rushed over at breakneck speed, but before her sharp blade could touch the girl's neck, she dodged it.

The short‑haired girl, seeing this, furrowed her brows and thought silently.

So fast!

Jiang Zhi dodged her attack, stepped back, and made a funny face at them.

"Hehehe~"

The short‑haired girl, seeing that, flew into a rage and lunged to strike, but Wen Qian stopped her.

"Xiao Wei!" Wen Qian said sternly, "This is the base—no fighting!"

Tao Wei halted her move, gripped her knife tightly, and pointed at the madman, saying, "She hurt Hua Ge."

Ouyang Hua is the blond male.

Wen Qian's gaze fell on the girl's face not far away; she froze for a moment, pressing her lips together.

In the novel there's definitely no female character as pretty as she is!

The female lead's appearance is supposed to be the best in the novel.

Could she also be a transmigrator?

Thinking this, Wen Qian grew a little anxious.

Ouyang Hua trembled as he stood up, enduring the pain, and said, "You don't need to worry about me; she is mine."

The short-haired girl Tao Wei heard the voice, her face turned deathly pale, she looked in his direction, and a dull pain surged in her chest.

Jiang Zhi glanced at him disdainfully: "Who's yours? You must have delusions; you're crazy."

Not wanting to stay any longer, she turned around intending to go to the cashier to find Axun.

How could Ouyang Hua let her leave? He vanished on the spot and, at his fastest speed, appeared behind her, wanting to embrace her.

A figure suddenly appeared, kicked him away with tremendous force; the blond-haired youth's figure slammed through the wall, the whole hotel shuddered, and a piercing alarm sounded.

The youth's face, as perfect as a game model, was filled with gloomy and vicious aura; his astonishing presence carried a powerful deterrent power, making people feel chills.

All that could be seen was him holding the peerless beauty in his arms, wrapped in a possessive desire that allowed no one to covet her.
