Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

Chapter 239 Apocalypse 4

An hour later, Qin Baobao returned.

This all started an hour ago.

Qin Baobao made up her mind to leave the villa, and in order not to cause any panic, she walked all the way down the mountain on foot.

As soon as they reached the bottom of the mountain, they unexpectedly bumped into the transparent barrier.

It didn't hurt much, but my forehead got a red mark.

"What is this? A barrier?"

Qin Baobao searched through all her inventory and tried every possible method, but she still couldn't leave.

Could it be that the immortal lord's wife was injured and he needed to refine me into medicine for her to consume, which is why he imprisoned me?!

So what kind of behavior is this? Walking into a trap?

Although I don't want to live, I don't want to die either.

But thinking about it too much is useless. I'm at their mercy, like a fish on a chopping board. Besides, I have no chance to resist at all.

Qin Baobao returned to the villa with a calm expression.

Looking at the completely still second floor, Qin Baobao couldn't help but sigh.

"It lasts so long!"

Several hours have passed, and there's still no sign of him coming down. Should I go up and check? But I'd just be seen as a perverted peeping tom, right? For the sake of my life, I think I'd better not.

Qin Baobao waited until the next day.

The lady of the house, supporting her back, walked down from the second floor with a relaxed and casual air.

Upon seeing Qin Baobao, he immediately put on a gentle smile.

"Why did you get up so early, Aqing?"

Qin Baobao twitched the corner of her mouth. How could it not be early? She had been here all night and hadn't left at all.

Besides, it's already past 10 a.m., and soon we'll even be able to have lunch.

Qin Baobao wanted to ask if his adoptive father was there, but he couldn't bring himself to say "father" no matter how many times he opened his mouth.

Mo Qing's hesitant look as she gazed behind her, as if she wanted to say something, made Bai Yun immediately understand.

"It's unusual for me to get up so early, it's not to wait for my mom."

"Mom is so heartbroken." She clutched her heart like Xi Shi.

Qin Baobao was utterly dumbfounded. You weren't like this yesterday.

Bai Yun looked at the other person's expressionless face, her smile faded, and her expression turned worried.

"If anything happens, you can tell Mom, and Mom can help you solve it."

Baiyun thought something had happened to her usually well-behaved daughter.

Qin Baobao lowered her eyelids, "I want to wait until that person comes back before we talk about it."

"If Aqing doesn't want to talk about it, then I won't ask." Baiyun pulled her to the dining table, where the robot had already laid out various delicacies.

"Have some food with me, your father won't be back for a few days."

……

"Go if you want to leave. I'll explain to Ayun."

Two days later, in Mu Cangxuan's study.

Mu Cangxuan immediately agreed to Qin Baobao's suggestion to leave.

Qin Baobao was somewhat surprised. Had she guessed wrong?

Before the other party could change their mind, Qin Baobao got up and prepared to leave.

"That, your daughter's soul..." Qin Baobao stopped a moment before stepping out of the room.

"It's alright, I think she'd be more than happy to." Mu Cangxuan's gaze held a meaning that Qin Baobao couldn't understand.

"Go quickly, they need you." Mu Cangxuan waved his hand, and Qin Baobao appeared directly at the foot of the mountain.

Looking up at the mountain, the trees were tall and the grass was crisp. The villa that had once been faintly visible on the mountaintop had vanished completely.

I realized I had been judging others by my own petty standards.

Qin Baobao chose a direction and walked straight ahead along the road.

I thought I could hitch a ride, but half an hour has passed and there's not a single person on the road. The location is extremely remote.

Qin Baobao took out the Jinghong Sword and affixed the invisibility talisman to herself. She stood openly on the sword and flew away on it.

The weather in June was a bit chilly, and Qin Baobao, standing on the sword, was immediately chilled by the wind.

Qin Baobao didn't take out clothes from her spatial storage; instead, she habitually tossed out a wind-based ability shield in front of her.

Half an hour later, human houses appeared in front of Qin Baobao. They were of varying heights and arranged in a staggered pattern.

People walked hurriedly in twos and threes on the street, seemingly heading in no particular direction.

In a pavilion in the mountains, a couple is whispering sweet nothings, about to engage in a scene unsuitable for children.

Qin Baobao glanced at it lightly, her face showing no emotion.

Choose a dead-end alley without surveillance cameras, tear off the invisibility talisman on your body, and head towards the nearby station.

"What have I done to wrong you? Why are you treating me like this?"

"I'm sorry."

"Xiaomei, this is all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding that you were holding hands and interlocking your fingers? Tell me yourself, where am I misunderstanding?"

The hotel was packed with people; even the apocalypse couldn't change people's gossipy nature.

Qin Baobao didn't linger; she was already used to such gossip and melodramatic stories. Life was full of drama, especially this world on the verge of collapse. Even the most bizarre events wouldn't be surprising anymore.

It's not uncommon for people to injure others for no reason, want to die, and then drag everyone down with them. It's not uncommon for people to vandalize someone's shop because of a single sentence.

Qin Baobao ran into the couple again while waiting for the train at the station.

The two were all lovey-dovey, as if the previous affair had never happened.

"Tell me, who's prettier, me or her?"

"Of course my wife is beautiful, she's the most beautiful woman in the world. Don't you already know that? I've proven it to you with my own actions. I love you, I only love you. My love for you is as clear as day."

The man swore an oath, and the woman's gloomy mood vanished, replaced by a sweet laugh.

"I'll forgive you this time, but if there's a next time, we'll go our separate ways. Then I'll make sure you can never find me again, hmph!"

For a fleeting moment, the man's expression turned sinister. "Wife, I've already said it's a misunderstanding. Besides, I don't fancy anyone else but you."

"You have a good vision."

Qin Baobao sat in the car with a blank expression, listening to the two of them showering each other with affection the whole way.

Stepping out of the station, the sun was already high overhead. Pretty young women in light dresses strolled through the streets, and the street food smelled enticingly delicious.

Qin Baobao felt her pockets; she was penniless. She opened her phone; her WeChat balance showed a string of zeros.

There were many small restaurants near the train station. Qin Baobao waved and hailed a taxi. She had money; she didn't want to compromise her comfort.

"Are there any good and clean restaurants around here, Master?"

"Young lady, are you from out of town? Speaking of which, you've come to the right person." The driver was a slightly overweight man with a squinty-eyed, benevolent appearance.

"There's a fish farm in Jiaoyuan Town that serves fish that's absolutely delicious. I guarantee you'll want to keep coming back for more. It's just a bit far away." The man gripped the steering wheel calmly.

"I'm a germaphobe, so I just need to find a clean restaurant in the city."

"Oh, okay, it's up ahead." The driver turned a corner and drove back into the busy main lane.
