Do You Know How to Capture a Villain? Chapter 24.1

Picking Her Up Once Again (1)

Ji Qingzhou’s feet were on the cold ground, and her toes curled up.

It was late at night, and although it was summer, the night was chilly.

Ji Qingzhou couldn’t care less and rushed out of the courtyard intently. The system’s alarm kept ringing loudly, signaling her that danger was approaching.

Even if she was running for her life, she did not forget the companion who accompanied her all the way. She patted Maomao’s neck and whispered, “Maomao, let’s go.”

The system was terribly anxious that it even forgot to ring the alarm for a moment. “Host, you are running for your life. Why are you dragging the donkey with you?”

“If that person can’t find me, he will definitely attack Maomao.” Ji Qingzhou led Maomao forward and sprinted. Her speed was moderate, mainly because she couldn’t stretch her feet fast enough.

Ji Qingzhou ran out from the back door and into the woods. She covered a few dozen meters forward, and the system reminded her that the danger level had progressed from one to two. The person who came to kill her should have entered her residence.

The man seemingly stopped there for a while, as if he was searching for something. Ji Qingzhou guessed that he was looking for Maomao.

Fortunately, she had brought Maomao along with her. Thus, she continued running away with him, but did not know where to go.

The Flywheel lost energy and could no longer be used. The current White Water Island was an isolated island for her. She could not swim, and her magic power was not enough to allow her to use the Air Control Technique and fly over the wide White Water Lake.

It seemed that her last resort was to find a hiding place.

Ji Qingzhou gasped for breath after running for a while. Her physical strength was really poor.

Maomao was also old, and his steps were getting slower and slower.

Just then, the alarm, which had lowered to a level 3 warning, started to rise again. The visitor probably failed to find Maomao in her courtyard and resumed searching for her on White Water Island.

“Host, go find Shen Rongyu,” the system advised her.

Ji Qingzhou didn’t listen to the system. She only knew the general location of Shen Rongyu’s residence, but had no idea where he lived. How could she find him?

Regardless, she didn’t know if Shen Rongyu, who had some business to attend to tonight, was on White Water Island. Even if she went to him rashly, could he really protect her?

The speed of arrival of the intruder was lightning fast, so he couldn’t be a new disciple who had just entered the Xuanyun Sect at the Immortal Ascension Conference. He must be an elder…

Didn’t Shen Rongyu only have a Golden Core cultivation base at present? Wouldn’t she be dragging him down if she were to go looking for him?

Ji Qingzhou hid in the woods. Since the person who came didn’t know her location, the system would raise the alarm volume depending on the distance. Therefore, she rejected the system’s proposal.

“System, although he is the future villain, he is now a Golden Core cultivator. Do you want him to come and rescue me, or do you want him to be buried with me?” Ji Qingzhou asked.

The system tried to communicate with Ji Qingzhou again: “It’s like this, Host. Since I absorbed enough energy, I can now plan an escape route for you.”

Ji Qingzhuo started running more quickly. She felt that the system was finally reliable, and so she ran along the route planned by the system. She also thanked it out of breath, “Thanks a ton. You’re finally of some use to me.”

“No problem, host. You can stop praising me.” The system instructed Ji Qingzhou as she fled, “Turn another corner to the east…”

Ji Qingzhou obediently turned a corner, but unbeknownst to her, her whereabouts had been exposed. Walking in the forest would always leave some traces.

Suddenly, the alarm ring of the system rose from level three to level two. The danger level rose extremely fast, indicating that the intruder was coming straight towards her.

Ji Qingzhou was anxious. An air current suddenly rose at her feet, even hoisting Maomao up. The wind was strong on the moonlit night, and her newly acquired Air Control Technique came in handy.

Her magic power was limited and she reserved it for critical moments. Now she only needed to move in the air and head towards the escape route that the system had planned for her.

The situation in the dense forest was complicated with countless branches in the front. The White Water Island was Yu Sukong’s territory, and visitors usually didn’t stir such a big show.

The air current under Ji Qingzhou’s feet was light and precise, and she accurately avoided the obstacles in front of her time and again. This was more intuitive than rigorous calculation.

Her speed was very fast, even faster than her speed during the Magic Class test, probably because this was an emergency situation.

Moreover, the system that had been observing Ji Qingzhou noticed one thing, and that was, the last time when Ji Qingzhou performed the Air Control Technique, she had to write and draw on paper to calculate. This time, she didn’t even need to calculate with the help of paper and pencil. She directly came up with the best plan for the Air Control Technique.

Ji Qingzhou felt the oncoming wind, and their whistling helped her to quickly judge the obstacles ahead. Each time she almost grazed a dangerous branch, she flew over it.

She could hear her own rapid heartbeat and increasingly weak breathing. She was almost straining for breath in the flight, and the pathetic magic power she had left was draining. Sweat dripped from her forehead.
