"Ahem, Sister Ying, I feel that this way of addressing you is inappropriate."

“I like it.” Ying ignored Wu Qiu’s protesting look and changed the subject: “By the way, what you just said, was it really just something you made up? Did you have any details? I think it’s quite interesting.”

Without a second thought, Wu Qiu replied, "Of course! If you want to hear it, Sister Ying, I'll tell you."

The naive Wu Qiu hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation, but he soon regretted it. He really wanted to slap himself a few times; why was he so quick to speak?

The next morning, the two walked through the forest. Wu Qiu's steps were unsteady, and he looked half-dead, as if he were terminally ill.

Ying, however, was unusually energetic, flashing to Wu Qiu's left and right at different times, and constantly asking questions.

"Xiao Qiuzi, are Mu Yu Cheng Feng and Yi Ye Zhi Qiu really boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Wu Qiu replied in a dying tone, "No~ they are almost ten years apart."

"Then, who is stronger, Sword Saint Night Rain Sound or Fighting God One Autumn Leaf?"

Wu Qiu: "They're both strong~"

"If I were to challenge One Autumn Leaf, how could I possibly defeat him?"

Wu Qiu: "Unplug the network cable~"

Ying was a little unhappy. "Hey, Akiko! I feel like you're not answering properly."

I immediately collapsed to the ground and refused to get up. I cried out like a child, "I want to sleep! I want to sleep! I want to sleep!!!"

"It's been a whole night, big sister, I'm sleepy (*)."

I was both acting like a scoundrel and begging for mercy. This is terrifying; if Ying were in modern times, she'd definitely be a teenage internet addict.

Yingyi rubbed her forehead. "Okay, okay, wait a minute."

With a flick of her wrist, an ice blade appeared in her hand. Wu Qiu was startled when he first saw it, as he never expected that such a game-like setting could actually be implemented in this world.

Ying arrived at a tree, a particularly large one. Her ice blade sliced ​​through the tree and snapped it in two. Ying transformed into a master woodcarver, her ice blade flashing, and soon the tree was transformed into something resembling a small boat.

Tie a vine to the front end, Ying turned around and looked at Wu Qiu with a smile, "Lie down, I'll pull you along."

"Yay! Ying-jie is the best."

I launched myself onto the wooden boat and immediately collapsed into bed without a word. I was so tired; I didn't care about being embarrassed anymore, sleeping was the most important thing.

Soon, I fell asleep. I don't know how much time passed, but I was woken up by a jolt. Then Wu Qiu felt that his body was being hoisted up.

Opening his eyes, Wu Qiu was somewhat bewildered. He found himself tied to a wooden boat, now suspended in mid-air.

Looking down, Wu Qiu saw that it was very deep below, and she couldn't see anything at all. "Sister Ying, where are we?"

Wu Qiu was clearly still half asleep. Ying's voice followed closely above her head, "You're awake, Qiu Zi. We're not out of the forest yet. I accidentally let you fall, but don't worry, I'll pull you up right away."

"But you must not move around. It's thousands of meters deep below, and falling in would be a real problem."

Wu Qiu yawned and said, "Okay~ Sister Ying, call me when we come out of the forest."

Then his head tilted to the side and he fell asleep again...

"Hmm... Several thousand meters!!!!!"

Wu Qiu woke up instantly. Looking down, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his legs went weak, and he almost peed himself.

"I... OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!"

My face turned pale because I realized we were on a mountain road. It was more of a narrow path, so narrow that two people couldn't walk side-by-side.

Furthermore, the road is clearly unstable; rocks have been falling like crazy in just a short time. There are also clearly no safety measures in place. Even a small accident here could be fatal, let alone what has already happened!

I looked up and yelled at Ying, "Seriously, Ying? Is it really necessary? All I asked you to do was pull me up for a little while! Are you really going to kill yourself with me?"

Ying was clearly pulling me up, carefully pulling me little by little, while saying, "What are you saying? This path is a shortcut, we'll be out of the forest in a bit."

"And you sleep all day, and I have to pull you around all day, and instead of thanking me you're criticizing me. Believe me or not, I'll throw you off this cliff!"

"No, no, no!" I quickly begged for mercy, while saying, "Sister Ying, with your strength you can pull me up in one go, why do you have to pull me up little by little now? Hurry up and pull me up!"

Wu Qiu was right; Ying's power could easily lift him up instantly. However, upon hearing Wu Qiu's words, Ying gave an embarrassed smile.

"That's what I did at first, but then a little accident happened..."

"An accident?" Wu Qiu asked, puzzled. Ying nodded. "Yes, it was when I pulled hard that the rope tied to your side almost broke."

"Oh, the rope almost... the rope almost snapped!!!!"

Wu Qiu burst into tears. Ying hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, I've checked, it's not serious. As long as I apply force little by little, the rope won't break."

"Xiao Qiuzi, you mustn't move around, or you might really break the rope."

Upon hearing this, I dared not move. I felt weak and powerless as I fell from a height of a thousand meters, hoping that the rope would hold and not break.

Ying spent a full two minutes pulling herself up to that short distance, showing how careful she was. But perseverance pays off, and Wu Qiu was finally able to get up.

"See? I told you there wouldn't be any problems." Ying's voice rang in Wu Qiu's ear, showing that Wu Qiu was very close to her now.

Wu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. But just then, Wu Qiu seemed to sense something.

Then, a sharp crack was heard. Wu Qiu saw that the wooden handrail of the boat, which was bound by rattan, had cracked.

"I……"

Before Wu Qiu could finish speaking, the handrail snapped open, and he immediately plummeted to the ground.

"No!!!! My life is over!!!!"

With a scream, Wu Qiu's eyes rolled back and he fainted. Ying was also startled, but fortunately, she reacted quickly and grabbed the wooden boat in that instant, preventing Wu Qiu from falling in.

After she pulled Wu Qiu aboard, she found that he had rolled his eyes back and was unconscious. She could only shake her head helplessly and continue pulling him forward on the small boat.

When Wu Qiu woke up again, Ying had just brought him to the mountaintop. After discovering that Wu Qiu was awake, Ying put her hands on her hips and said, "You're such a coward! You fainted from fright."

Wu Qiu, tied to the boat, kept kicking his legs, yelling, "Look at you, are you even speaking human language? Didn't you throw me overboard?! How dare you say that?"

Ying scratched her face with her finger. "Hehe, wasn't that an accident? Besides, you're perfectly fine now. Although the process wasn't very smooth, the result is good in the end."

Wu Qiu pointed around and said, "Is this good? Weren't we supposed to be leaving the forest? Why did you bring me to the mountaintop?"

Wu Qiu had already surveyed the surroundings. This place was high enough that with wind wings, one could fly very far. But the prerequisite was having them! Did they have them? Clearly not.

"I have a somewhat immature idea, hehe..."

Wu Qiu swallowed hard. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

Three minutes later...

"Ying, Sister Ying~ Are you, are you sure? I, I feel that your method is a bit inappropriate."

The situation is that they are standing on the other side of the cliff, below which is a slope, a very large slope.

However, the slope was not flat and had many rocks. Wu Qiu and Ying were standing on the boat.

Ying held a stick, eager to try it out. Wu Qiu hugged her slender waist from behind, pressing his body tightly against hers.

In the past, if Wu Qiu had done this, she would have been ecstatic. But now, Wu Qiu is almost in tears.

His legs were trembling uncontrollably, his face was purple with fear, and his lips were chattering so badly he could barely speak. No wonder he was scared; even a fool could see that Ying was going to charge straight down.

"Don't worry if there's anything wrong. I'm here, everything will be fine."

As she spoke, Ying exerted force with the stick in her hand, and the wooden boat slid down with the two of them.

"Wait, wait! I'm not ready yet... Ahh ...

Amidst screams, Wu Qiu tightly hugged Ying's waist, buried his face in her back, and closed his eyes, unable to bear looking.

The wind whistled incessantly in his ears. Finally, Wu Qiu couldn't resist his curiosity and looked up a few times.

They were moving very fast, so fast that Wu Qiu could barely see his surroundings. However, he could see a huge rock blocking their path directly in front of them.

"Quick! Quick!! Get out of the way!!!"

I was crying and shouting at the same time. Ying didn't hesitate either, and with a thrust of her wooden stick, the wooden boat dodged the rock.

Then, stones kept blocking her way, but Ying dodged them all, leaving Wu Qiu completely stunned.

Even Wu Qiu wasn't afraid anymore as they approached the foot of the mountain. Clapping his hands, Wu Qiu exclaimed, "Sister Ying is awesome! Sister Ying is mighty! Sister Ying is amazing!"

Ying replied casually, "Of course, I'm very confident, otherwise I wouldn't have taken such a big risk."

As she spoke, she casually dodged another rock with a flick of her wrist, doing so with remarkable ease. It was clear she wasn't just joking; Ying was genuinely confident, otherwise she wouldn't have done something so suicidal.

"Sister Ying is awesome! Sister Ying is amazing! Ying, click!"

......................................................

"Hey guys, wait a minute, let me catch my breath. Just now I was yelling, 'Sister Ying is awesome! Sister Ying is mighty! Sister Ying is amazing!' and then I heard a 'crack' sound..."

"What I'm trying to say is, do you think it's possible that the stick broke because of that 'crack' sound?"

"Holy crap! The stick broke! We're doomed, we're totally screwed this time!"

I stared at the stick in Ying's hand, now only a small section remained, and I felt despair. But Ying threw the stick away and said, "Don't worry, we've reached the foot of the mountain, we don't need the stick anymore."

My eyes lit up. "That's right! We've reached the foot of the mountain. Sister Ying, you should stop the wooden boat quickly."

................................................

Ying looked at me. I looked at her too.

"Hey Ying-jie, I have a little unrealistic idea: you don't know how to stop, do you?"

Ying nodded matter-of-factly. "Yeah, that's realistic. I don't know."

"I didn't know you'd led me down this road! What are we going to do now?!"

Ying waved her hand and said, "It's okay, just jump down and it'll be over."

As she spoke, she lifted me up in a princess carry and jumped down. After sliding on the ground for a while, Ying lost her balance and rolled over with me, tumbling down the mountainside together.

As we neared the foot of the mountain, Ying executed a beautiful backflip and landed gracefully. Meanwhile, I screamed all the way down...

"Ouch! That hurts! Oh my god!"

It kept going forward and finally crashed into a tree.

Chapter Eight: The Robbers

Well, I had a good plan: after we rolled down, she'd get on top and I'd get off. Then she did a backflip and landed steadily, and I... crashed into a tree.

However, these were minor matters, and Wu Qiu was already used to them. He also knew that he was unlikely to have the kind of good fortune that protagonists enjoy. After all, what protagonist ever gets thrown away by the system right at the beginning...?
