C3 First Encounter

The next morning, Xia Yue was awoken by a wave of fragrance.

"Sis, what did you make?" Xia Yue was like a carp as he ran in front of Xia Yiyi.

Xia Yiyi smiled warmly, "This is called instant noodles. The taste isn't bad. Come over and try it?"

This was the food that Xia Yiyi had prepared from the snack gift pack.

"Alright." Xia Yue's eyes shined as he stared at the bowl of noodles and wolfed down the noodles.

Seeing that Xia Yue hadn't finished his meal and had even finished all the soup, he couldn't help but feel some pity.

"Sis, is there anything else?" Xia Yue asked tentatively.

"Yes, I do," Xia Yiyi hurriedly nodded, then took out another bowl of noodles with a juggling of hands from behind her, "Nah, go ahead and eat it."

After Xia Yue ate two bowls of noodles in succession, Xia Yiyi finally got to the main point of today's topic.

"Lil 'Yue, I'm going to take care of some matters in the city today. You can stay at home."

"To the city?" Xia Yue blinked a few times and straightforwardly replied, "Alright, then sister, be careful."

His sister hadn't been a fool since a month ago, and she had even helped him do many things. So now, it was better to listen to his sister.

Surprised, Xia Yiyi took out two bags of instant noodles from the system and told him how to deal with them before leaving the restaurant.

According to the original owner's memory, Xia Yiyi walked all the way to the city. She first rented a tea stand with 10 taels of silver on the road out of the city, then decorated it with 21st century decorations before officially opening the shop.

"Miss, how much is the tea here?"

A young man was standing in front of the door, pointing at the green jar with a curious expression.

Ah, a business is coming so soon.

Xia Yiyi tidied up her clothes and immediately went up to welcome him. She only saw that the person who came was slender with slanted brows and starry eyes, while his entire body was emitting a cold and piercing aura.

However, Xia Yiyi wasn't scared in the slightest. She welcomed him with a smile, "Sir, this thing is called 'Sprite'. It's the most refreshing after being frozen for a while. Do you want to try it?"

The young man nodded.

'Bang! 'Xia Yiyi opened the ring and handed it to him.

Seeing this, the young man became even more surprised. He took the Snow Jade in his hand and tasted it.

'Hiss! '

The burning sensation spread all the way down his throat, and at the same time, a cool sensation spread to his limbs and bones.

"This item is very good. How much is it?" The young man asked.

"Not much," Xia Yiyi raised a finger, "One tael of silver."

She clearly noticed that the young man's face suddenly stiffened.

Could it be that he had no money? Could it be that she was selling it for too much?

The young man slowly said, "Miss, to be honest, I don't have that much silver on me, but I, Chen Shao, have always kept my word, so I will place this jade pendant on you."

With that, the youth removed the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Xia Yi Yi.

Xia Yiyi gave it a cursory glance and knew that this jade pendant was expensive, not ordinary. At least it was not something that could be bought with just a tael of silver.

"This item is expensive, I'll be the one to invite Xue Bi."

The young man shook his head, threw the jade pendant in front of her stall and walked away.

Xia Yiyi stared at his back in a daze. What kind of logic was this? Didn't she say she didn't want it anymore?

After withdrawing the jade pendant, Xia Yiyi began to set up a stall. However, the first day didn't seem to be going well. They only sold a bottle of cola and two bottles of Sprite. One of the bottles was exchanged with a jade pendant by the young man.

Seeing the sun gradually rise, Xia Yiyi slowly packed up her stall and prepared to leave.

However, just as she walked out of the city gate and headed towards the village, she noticed that there was something wrong in her surroundings.

Someone else seemed to be following her.

Xia Yiyi frowned slightly, her footsteps becoming more hurried as she took a detour. Seeing that the others were still following her, she was even more certain of her thoughts.

Those people had indeed been following her.

However, whose person would it be?

Xia Yiyi's mind raced. It couldn't be that that person wanted to retrieve her jade pendant and seek revenge, right?

Without time to think about it, Xia Yiyi hurriedly pulled out the electric shock rod from her system's backpack. If there really wasn't anything else, she would take advantage of it and launch a sneak attack.

However, before she could move, there was someone standing in front of her.

Focusing and looking, it was indeed Mrs Zhao.

Mrs Zhao sneered, "Little b * tch, I've finally found you!"

"Is that her?" A flirtatious voice sounded out from behind Mrs Zhao.

"That's right, it's her!" Mrs Zhao nodded her head in affirmation before coldly staring at Xia Yiyi, "Although I don't know what kind of trick you played yesterday, but today, it's better for you to put away those little tricks."

"Because here, you can't escape even if you have wings!" Mrs Zhao raised her chin with a look of victory on her face.

Xia Yiyi couldn't help but frown. Just like what the Zhao Family had said, this time it was indeed a little tricky to deal with!

"System, are you there?" Xia Yi Yi Yi subconsciously called the system.

"Hello, Host. Taobao System serves you online 24 hours a day!"

"Is there any way to get me out of here?" Xia Yiyi asked anxiously.

The System thought for a moment, "Host, you can choose to activate the Invisibility System."

Seeing Mrs Zhao and the burly man following her from behind getting closer and closer, Xia Yiyi gritted her teeth, "Then activate the Invisibility System!"

"100 taels of silver is required to activate the stealth system. The activation time is once a week …" Check that the host doesn't have enough balance, open failed! "

The emotionless mechanical voice of the System echoed in her ears, almost causing her to vomit blood.

What a scam!

[You actually told me that you don't have enough money just when you are about to be saved?

Xia Yiyi gritted her teeth.

However, right at this moment, 'Chi' sound was heard. An arrow pierced through the air and flew straight towards the big man behind him.

After the big man was shot by the arrow, he immediately foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.

There was a turning point!

While everyone was distracted, Xia Yiyi took the opportunity to roll over and hide in the bushes to the side. If she discovered that something was wrong, she could run away at any time.

"Chi."

"Chi."

Another two arrows pierced through the air and shot the remaining two men down.

"Who is it?" The seductive woman beside Mrs Zhao could no longer hold it in and shouted angrily.

Just as she finished speaking, a youth dressed in hunter attire walked out slowly and met her eyes without fear, "I am Chen Shao."

Mrs Zhao sucked in a breath of cold air and gave the woman a glance.

However, the woman ignored him, "I don't care that your surname is Zhang, obstructing my Ruyi Markets business, do you not want to live?"

"Ru Yi Workshop?" Chen Shao frowned and said coldly, "I've never heard of it."

"You …" The woman pointed at him and could not speak, but she was frightened when she saw him draw his bow again.

"Let's go!" The woman gritted her teeth and ran away, not caring about her subordinates who were lying on the ground.

Seeing that the surroundings had calmed down, Xia Yiyi then cautiously stuck her head out.

"It's fine now. Come out." The magnetic voice suddenly rang out nearby. Xia Yi Yi Yi was startled and slowly walked out of the bush.

Who would've thought that Chen Shao still hadn't left.

Just as she walked out of the bush, she saw the young man opposite her looking at her thoughtfully.

"It's you!" The two of them spoke at the same time.

It turned out that Chen Shao wasn't just anyone else, he was the one who had used a jade pendant to mortgage the snow jade.
