At this moment, the curtain of the carriage fluttered slightly. A hand clutching crossbow bolts flashed behind the curtain, and several arrows shot towards the wild dogs feasting on the corpses up ahead.
Some of the wild dogs were killed on the spot, while others fled in a hurry. Her body was thus saved by that person.
The carriage came to a halt in front of the body. That jade - like, spotlessly white hand that had just flashed into view grasped a corner of the curtain...
【Little Yuanbao, wake up quickly! Little Eight has completely finished the data transfer!】
With a start, Su Yuanyuan suddenly sat up straight, blinking blankly.
The carved four - poster bed, the pink curtains, and the deep red octagonal table...
This was a guest room in the Tianxiang Tower, not some mass grave.
But the next moment, she became excited.
In the dream just now, she saw more than before! She saw the hand of her savior. It was white and slender. Most importantly, there was a clearly visible scar on the wrist!
This clue could be said to be the greatest progress ever!
However, it was just a fleeting glance, so it was hard to tell whether it was a man's or a woman's hand. It would probably take a lot of effort to find the person.
Moreover, it was quite impolite to casually roll up someone's sleeve to check their wrist. The matter of finding her benefactor still needed to be carefully planned.
Thinking of Little Eight's original form - that pile of broken jade, Su Yuanyuan looked ahead.
There was a red string twined around her fair finger. The little wooden rabbit tied to the end of the red string was glowing brightly with golden light, much brighter than before.
As for the pile of broken jade, it was now dull and dusty, just like the most ordinary stones by the roadside.
So, was it a complete success?!
A smile spread across her lips. Just as she was about to tie the little wooden rabbit back around her neck, Little Eight said, 【Don't be in a hurry, Little Yuanbao. There's still one thing we need to do now.】
【Huh? What else is left undone?】 Su Yuanyuan asked curiously.
Little Eight said, 【Now, hold the replicated jade pendant in your palm.】
Following Little Eight's instructions, Su Yuanyuan took out the jade pendant carved by Su Huaisheng, which was intended to deceive Su Qingyu.
【Didn't you ask me last time how to dispel Su Qingyu's doubts and keep her from suspecting you after getting the original form? Little Eight will separate a fake system and transfer it into that jade pendant. That jade pendant will be able to use 10% of Little Eight's functions, but only for three days. After these three days, this jade pendant will completely become a useless piece of jade. And Su Qingyu will only think that it was her own improper operation that caused the system to crash. She will never suspect you.】
Su Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat. She asked, 【It can actually be done like this? Won't this have any impact on you?】
Little Eight said, 【Don't worry, Little Yuanbao. Little Eight has retrieved all the energy and data from the original form. Separating a time - limited fake system that can only use 10% of the functions is no problem for Little Eight.】
Su Yuanyuan looked at her finger. Perhaps because Little Eight had fully recovered, the cut made by the dagger just now had disappeared without a trace.
She couldn't help but marvel at Little Eight's power. No wonder Su Qingyu held it as if it were some divine weapon.
Gently stroking the little wooden rabbit with her intact finger, Su Yuanyuan said, 【Then, let's start.】
Su Yuanyuan didn't know how Little Eight transferred the data to the new jade pendant. All she could see was that a faint white halo slowly covered the very ordinary - looking jade pendant.
She knew that this was a sign that the jade pendant was becoming extraordinary.
Even though the jade pendant only had 10% of Little Eight's functions and could only be used by Su Qingyu for three days, Su Yuanyuan still felt a bit unhappy.
She wondered what benefits Su Qingyu would gain after getting the jade pendant. Given Su Qingyu's personality, she would never let herself suffer. Could it be that she wanted to return to the Marquis Mansion with it?
However, one should bear with minor grievances to avoid spoiling the big plan. Only in this way could they temporarily blindfold Su Qingyu and prevent her from having any suspicions.
From then on, Su Qingyu would no longer have any bargaining chips to rely on. Su Yuanyuan wanted to see what skills this "time - traveler" Su Qingyu, who had nothing, could use to fight against her.
After a while, Little Eight's slightly proud voice came into Su Yuanyuan's ear: 【It's done! Su Qingyu won't have any doubts when she gets this jade pendant. But she won't be happy for long. Let's wait and see her make a fool of herself!】
Su Yuanyuan couldn't help but laugh. Her heart skipped a beat as well.
Now that Little Eight had fully recovered its former functions, did this mean that Master Jiao's hands could be saved?
【Little Eight, you said before that as long as you got your original form back, you could cure the injuries on Master Jiao. Is that true?】
Little Eight said, 【Of course! Little Eight said that as long as it gets the original form back, it will definitely be able to cure Master Jiao!】
【Is Master Jiao's injury difficult to treat?】 Su Yuanyuan asked again.
Little Eight said, 【Don't worry, Little Yuanbao. The medicine for treating Master Jiao is of the highest quality. It will take effect in less than half an hour.】
Less than half an hour?!
Su Yuanyuan was greatly shocked. If the medicine was so miraculous, it was not hard to understand why Su Qingyu regarded this system as a treasure.
Thinking that Master Jiao would soon recover, Su Yuanyuan felt relieved. She wrapped the red string with the little wooden rabbit around her neck again and completely covered the red string and the little wooden rabbit with her collar.
Then she packed up the completely dull and lifeless broken jade and walked out with the fake jade pendant.
Although Su Yuanyuan was wearing a human - skin mask, Su Huaisheng could still see a trace of fatigue in his younger sister's eyes. He had no idea what she was doing behind the screen with the broken jade. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
"Yuanbao, are you okay?" Su Huaisheng asked with concern.
Su Yuanyuan's fatigue was just caused by taking off the red string just now, but she was actually very happy.
"I'm fine. I'm just a bit sleepy. Brother doesn't need to worry."
Taking out the jade pendant carved by Su Huaisheng before, Su Yuanyuan blinked and said, "Next, I'll have to trouble Brother again."
After a short rest, the agreed - upon hour was up. Without Su Yuanyuan going to look for her, there was a knock on the door.
"An hour has passed. I wonder if my jade pendant has been repaired?" Su Qingyu's deliberately slow voice came from outside the door, but Su Yuanyuan could still detect the anxiety hidden in her words.
Couldn't even wait for an hour? It showed that without Little Eight, Su Qingyu was good for nothing. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so eager to wake up the system.
A cold smile curled up on Su Yuanyuan's lips. She stepped forward to open the door and said with a flawless smile, "You've come just in time, miss. Our master has already repaired your jade pendant. Please come in."
