Chapter 56 Staying Overnight
As a qualified system, as long as she is there, she will never let the host die before completing the mission!
"No, no, how could I dare? I'm relieved to hear you say that!" Lu Jinyan smiled awkwardly. This little guy still has a temper!
“It’s getting late, and you’ve been traveling all day. Everyone’s tired, so let’s not travel any further in the dark. Let’s go a little further in; maybe there are people inside,” Lu Jinyan said to Yuan Yi, pulling Chu Chu’s cloak tighter.
The system says that the target is here, which means there are people here. Since there are people, there's nothing to be afraid of.
"Yes, Miss!" Although Yuan Yi did not quite agree with Lu Jinyan's words, since his mistress had spoken, he could not say anything more and could only be more vigilant.
The group didn't get into the carriage, but instead strolled slowly along the village path. Yuan Yi led the carriage, while Liu Xu and Liu Qing protected Lu Jinyan and Chu Chu on the inside.
"Wait!" Lu Jinyan suddenly stopped, then took out two swords from her storage bag (actually her spatial storage), handing one to Yuan Yi and the other to Liu Xu, and then took out a fan and handed it to Liu Qing.
"These are the Wind-Slaying Sword, the Ice Soul Sword, and the Ruyi Qiankun Fan. They're not high-grade, so make do with them. When you're out and about, you still need to have a weapon for self-defense. I'll replace them with better ones later!"
Lu Jinyan handed the upgraded mid-level magic artifacts to the three people. These things were of no use to her, so she might as well give them to them. Although the system said that this place was safe, she still felt that something was not right.
They had reached the center of the village, but there was still no sign of anyone or any sound. Clearly, this was not normal.
The three of them were very excited to receive the magical artifact. Although the artifact given by Lu Jinyan was only of mid-level quality, it was many times better than the mid-level magical artifacts on the market.
As demon slaves, they were not allowed to wear magical artifacts without their master's permission, yet she had given them such excellent artifacts directly.
This trust deeply moved them, and the three of them silently vowed in their hearts to protect their mistress and repay her kindness.
After taking the weapons and putting them away, the group continued forward, following a route chosen by Lu Jinyan. In reality, the system was guiding them; the place she was going to was where their target was located.
The group was very careful along the way, observing their surroundings. It was clear that the village was inhabited, as many houses still had farm tools and clothes drying in their courtyards.
I just don't know why there's no one around and no sound. Could it be that the people here go to bed early and don't make any noise or turn off their lights when they sleep?
Filled with doubt, the group walked to the very end of the village, where there stood a large, beautiful house, brightly lit inside.
Unlike the others, there were voices inside. Hearing that there was finally someone in a house speaking, the group visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally arrived at her destination. This was her destination. The system said that her target was in this house.
The group stopped in front of the house. Yuan Yi handed the reins to Liu Xu, then went up and knocked on the door: "Is anyone home?"
He stopped knocking a few times and listened quietly to the sounds coming from inside the house.
"Who is it! What are you knocking for so late at night? Don't you let people get any rest? If you break the door, can you afford to pay for it?" A rather fierce female voice came from behind, and then the door creaked open.
A middle-aged woman dressed in a dark blue dress appeared before the crowd. Just as she was about to continue her tirade, she noticed that the man standing in front of her was an unfamiliar face and immediately became wary.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
“Auntie, my two young ladies and I are passing through the village. It’s getting late, so we would like to ask if we could stay at your house for the night. Would that be convenient?” Yuan Yi bowed respectfully to the woman.
"Who's your aunt? How dare you talk like that? Am I that old? Get out, get out! I have nowhere for you to stay!" The woman's temper flared instantly, her face contorted with anger. She was about to kick him out.
"Sister, I'm so sorry, please don't be angry. We won't stay for nothing. It's getting late, and it's really inconvenient for me to stay with my sister. Please do us a favor?" Lu Jinyan smiled as she walked out from behind Yuan Yi.
The woman, who had been fierce-looking, lit up when she saw Lu Jinyan. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by an old voice.
"Little girls, do you need to stay the night?"
"You old hag, why do you always have to meddle in everything? Get lost! They're just asking to stay the night, what's it to you? Get lost!" The woman yelled at the old man with a displeased expression, then immediately grinned at Lu Jinyan and her group, saying, "Young lady, don't mind him. You're just asking to stay the night, aren't you?"
"Yes, I wonder if it's convenient for you to stay at my sister's house?" Lu Jinyan was a little curious about the old man who had suddenly appeared, but her priority now was to get into the house so that she could find her target.
"Convenient, convenient, of course it's convenient!" The middle-aged woman smiled happily.
"Little child, you can't go, you can't go!" The old man's eyes were filled with terror.
"You old fool, what nonsense are you talking about? Little girl, don't pay any attention to him, he's just a madman!" The middle-aged woman glared fiercely at the old man.
"Grandpa, thank you so much! We've found a place to stay! Don't worry!" Lu Jinyan turned around and smiled at the white-haired old man behind her, who was hunched over and leaning on a cane.
"Little girl, you can't go, you can't go, you can't go to her house! You'll die, you'll die!" The old man suddenly reached out his withered hand and grabbed Lu Jinyan, muttering repeatedly, "You'll die, you can't go, you can't go!"
"You old fool, what nonsense are you spouting? Let go of me right now! If you offend my honored guest, I'll beat you to death!" The woman said, glaring fiercely at the old man, as if she would attack him immediately if he said another word. The old man seemed very afraid of her.
Seeing her like this, he immediately let go, leaning on his cane with one hand and covering his head with the other: "Don't hit me! Don't hit me! I won't do it again! I'll never do it again! Don't hit me!"
As he spoke, he trembled. Seeing this, Lu Jinyan frowned. It seemed that this old man had been bullied quite a bit, otherwise he wouldn't be like this. So she said to the woman, "Sister, I'm fine, but this old man..."
