OBS Chapter 14 Favorability-1
Chapter 14 Favorability-1
"Thank you! But now isn't the time to cheer me on, is it? The important thing right now is how I'm going to save him." Lu Jinyan was on the verge of tears. How was she going to take such a big snake away?
Just looking at it was terrifying. Lu Jinyan squatted down with a bitter face and thought for a while. Finally, she took out a pair of gloves and a burlap sack from her space. With a gritted tooth and a stomp of her foot, she closed her eyes, grabbed the black snake, and stuffed it into the burlap sack.
Without thinking twice, she tied the sack shut. Seeing that she couldn't see the black snake anymore, she finally felt a little better. She let out a breath, and Lu Jinyan, carrying the sack in one hand and Chu Chu in the other, ran back the way she came.
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability -1! Current favorability -1!"
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability -1! Current favorability -2!"
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability -1! Current favorability -3!"
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability -1! Current favorability..."
"Stop, stop, stop, what is this?" Lu Jinyan was running and sweating profusely when she suddenly heard the system's announcement in her mind, which left her completely confused.
What the heck? I haven't even started pursuing her yet, how come my affection level has decreased by three? Can this thing even have negative values?
Lu Jinyan stopped in her tracks, her face contorted with anger, staring at the sack she was carrying: "What the hell are you? I saved you, and instead of increasing my favorability rating, you're deducting it? Try deducting one more and see what happens! Do you believe I'll just leave you here to fend for yourself?"
This is outrageous! She saved a snake but ended up saving the wrong one? She really doesn't appreciate kindness!
Whether it was her angry roar that had an effect or the person in question had already fainted, in any case, Lu Jinyan's world finally became quiet.
Seeing the favorability rating stuck at -4, she felt like crying.
"Um, host, is it possible that you ran too fast and aggravated his injuries?"
The system glanced at the long trail of blood behind it and reminded it with some reluctance.
Lu Jinyan was taken aback, then turned around to look at the place she had just passed. Seeing the long trail of blood, she felt a little embarrassed. She had been so focused on getting back to find a doctor for him that she had forgotten how badly he was injured and how much he could withstand the bumpy ride.
Lu Jinyan stuck out her tongue, slowed her pace, and continued walking forward. She didn't dare to walk too slowly because this guy had lost too much blood, and she was afraid that if she walked too slowly, he would bleed to death.
Chu Chu looked bewildered, wondering what was wrong with Yan Yan. She had inexplicably grabbed her and started running, then inexplicably stopped and started cursing at the bag in her hand.
However, she obediently chose not to speak. After Lu Jinyan slowed down, the system's voice did not sound again, and Lu Jinyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As they approached the city gate, Lu Jinyan suddenly stopped. "Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan!!!"
She remembered! She remembered!
Mo Xuan!
The female lead's first man!
One of the four future demon kings!
Mo Xuan, who appears cold and ruthless on the outside but secretly indulges and spoils the female lead without any limits!
The book didn't write much about Mo Xuan's story. She only remembered a few sentences. It seemed that Mo Xuan was almost killed by his brother's scheme against him in a power struggle. It was the female lead who took him in and treated him.
However, Mo Xuan's brother eventually found him and launched various assassination attempts. The female lead risked her life to save him, which injured her body and caused her cultivation to remain stuck at a critical juncture.
This made Mo Xuan feel extremely guilty. After he recovered from his injuries, he and the female lead became engaged and lived a shameless life for a while. Afterwards, he left the female lead again to go back and deal with his brother's affairs. He promised to come back to pick up the female lead after he finished dealing with the matter. However, when he returned, the female lead had already gotten together with the second male lead.
However, because she couldn't help but fall in love with the female lead, she eventually accepted the second male lead, and the three of them lived a shameless life together.
As mentioned before, the book mostly describes the female protagonist's shameless life with several male protagonists, so it doesn't describe much else. She can only remember a few sentences.
Who would have thought that she would pick up a male lead just by going to see the scenery?
So, she picked up the male lead, what about the female lead?
Forehead. . . .
Now doesn't seem like the time to talk about this. She suddenly remembered something: when the female lead rescued Mo Xuan, she also spilled a lot of blood on the way, and it was by following the bloodstains that the male lead's brother found him.
That's why the female lead is such a hypocrite! She's not smart enough to even clean up the bloodstains. She's not that stupid!
"System, can you help me wipe away the bloodstains on the road?" Lu Jinyan took off her outer robe and wrapped it around the sack containing Mo Xuan. After wrapping it up, she carefully stuffed him into her storage bag. "Little black snake, we're going into the city. I'm sorry to trouble you to stay in the storage bag for a while. I'll release you when we get home."
After stuffing Mo Xuan into the storage bag, Lu Jinyan took out a water bottle and carefully washed her hands to make sure there was no blood on her before she felt at ease.
"Of course, but it requires two hundred points!" The system's eyes sparkled, leaving Lu Jinyan speechless. It seemed that as long as you gave it points, it would do anything.
"Alright, alright, stop looking so greedy. It's just two hundred points, deduct them!" Lu Jinyan waved her hand irritably.
"Ding! 200 points deducted from host's score, current score: 1570!"
After happily collecting the points, the system watched the progress bar getting closer and closer to the upgrade, feeling incredibly pleased. It then excitedly ran off to get to work.
A short while later, the system's cute voice came through: "Host, the cleaning is complete. Please go home with peace of mind. Not a single hair will be left! It's spotless!"
With the system's guarantee, Lu Jinyan was quite at ease. Fearing that Mo Xuan in the storage bag would suffocate, she hurriedly carried Chu Chu into the city. The soldiers guarding the city only glanced at her briefly before letting her in.
After entering the city, Lu Jinyan went straight to the pharmacy. She didn't know what kind of injury Mo Xuan had suffered, but she bought all sorts of medicines and two decoction pots before carrying the large bags back home.
With the system around, she wasn't afraid of anyone getting close, so after getting home she locked the door and then pulled Mo Xuan out of her storage bag.
She fetched a basin of water from the well and then got a large wooden tub from the kitchen, which she had previously taken from Aunt Chun's house to prepare for washing clothes. But she didn't care about that now. She laid a blanket in the tub, then put on gloves and scooped Mo Xuan out and put him in the tub.
To be honest, she was still very scared, but the environment had changed and the situation didn't allow it, so she didn't care about that anymore and just grabbed a handkerchief and started wiping Mo Xuan's body haphazardly.
The main reason is that he is too dark-skinned, so we can't see where he is injured at all. We can only wipe him and check at the same time.
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability -1! Current favorability -5!"
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability -1! Current favorability -6!"
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1! Current favorability -5!"
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1! Current favorability -4!"
? ? ? ? ?
Lu Jinyan stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered. What was this guy doing?
Is this favorability rating fluctuating wildly? Are you having a clubbing session?
Lu Jinyan ignored him. He kept changing the amount, adding and subtracting, going back and forth several times, but in the end it was still -4, so she gave up.
It wasn't until the third basin of water that Lu Jinyan finally managed to treat Mo Xuan's external injuries. The system said that he also had internal injuries, but she couldn't treat those, so she had to spend another 500 points to exchange for a pill from the system.
She bought medicine for the external injuries and had the system's pills for the internal injuries, so it shouldn't be a big problem. However, she didn't know what kind of grudge these two brothers had that they would use such a heavy hand. Looking at the snake in front of her, which was barely breathing, Lu Jinyan felt very sorry for it.
"Phew! Finally done, I'm exhausted! Ouch, my neck, my back, my butt!" Lu Jinyan stood up, clutching her back, and let out a wail.
"Little snake, you need to get better soon! I spent a lot of money to save you, and I'm waiting for you to repay my kindness. You can't die! Lie down quietly, I'll go make you some medicine!"
While rubbing her bottom, Lu Jinyan limped and carried Chu Chu to the kitchen. What she didn't notice was that after she turned around, the black snake that had been keeping its eyes closed opened its eyes, stared at her back for a moment, and then closed them again.
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1! Current favorability -3!"
Ok?
This kid, at least he has some conscience!
Lu Jinyan was brewing medicine, and listening to the system's announcement made her feel much better. She had kindly saved him, but inexplicably lost four points of her favorability. Anyone would be unhappy.
Furthermore, the system stated that no bonus will be awarded for any points of favor gained until the favorability rating returns to a positive value.
Hopefully, that guy will be grateful, otherwise she'll kill him and make snake soup! Humph!
As Lu Jinyan pondered this, she brewed the medicine. When she finished and brought it to Mo Xuan, she was faced with another problem: how to feed the snake the medicine?
I need help urgently, guys.
Lu Jinyan held the medicine bowl in front of Mo Xuan for a long time, fiddling with it but unable to find a way to administer it. First, she was afraid of snakes! Second, she was afraid of snakes! Finally, she was afraid of snakes...
She had just forced herself to forget her fear; she had to save him, to apply medicine to his wound, and besides, she had covered his head with a rag. So she could barely manage to face him.
Seeing him again now, Lu Jinyan's heart was pounding in her throat; she simply didn't have the courage to pry open the snake's mouth and feed him the medicine.
