Li Yidao finished his takeout and then rested for a while before returning to his room. As for the live stream, he ultimately decided not to go live.

He noticed that whenever he did a live stream, certain events tended to occur.

Although every event had its own reason for happening, he felt tired today and wanted to rest.

Staring at the new door that had been replaced, Li Yidao’s expression remained unchanged.

This door had been provided by Qi Yuqiang and his group.

Moreover, when Li Yidao returned, he saw two unfamiliar individuals outside his shop.

These two people appeared to be ordinary, but in the deserted streets, their unfamiliar faces stood out.

Li Yidao wouldn’t have missed it.

A night passed without words.

During this night, Li Yidao had a dream.

He dreamt of Li Yinuo.

She was in a very peculiar environment, and he couldn’t quite describe the location.

It was definitely not the city they were currently living in.

The little girl seemed to have grown taller and more beautiful.

In the dream, he could only observe a sleeping Li Yinuo from a certain angle, almost as if he were sitting right beside her.

The vertical rays of sunlight made it seem like he had overslept.

When Li Yidao opened his eyes, it was already past 8 0’clock in the morning. However, the familiar warm sunlight was not streaming in through the window.

The gloomy weather outside seemed to reflect someone’s mood.

After getting up and freshening up, he pushed open the door and left his shop.

Glancing over at the cafeteria, he noticed it wasn’t open.

He furrowed his brows subconsciously.

“Where did those two go?” Li Yidao muttered to himself quietly.

He turned and returned to his shop, taking out his phone to order some takeout.

But just then, a long-awaited system sound rang in his ears.

[Ding! Temporary system mission triggered.]

[Mission Requirement: The host is to complete a rescue mission without violating the principles of the system. The mission is to rescue the individuals currently in crisis—Li Xinting and Zhou Shuyi.]

[Mission failure carries no punishment. Upon mission completion, you will receive a God’s Treasure Box, a Grim Reaper’s Surprise Box, and an additional 1,000 years of lifespan.]

Hmm?

Upon hearing the system’s prompt in his mind, Li Yidao was left bewildered.

A rescue mission, and he was supposed to rescue these two people?

It was okay for Li Xinting, as he had already sensed changes in her death.

But Sister Zhou…

Her death remained unknown, and the time of her death hadn’t changed, and it was only a matter of time.

“What are you kidding me? You want me to rescue her?” Li Yidao couldn’t believe it.

Li Yidao was somewhat prejudiced this time.

He completely overlooked one point!

That was, the term “rescue” in their words referred to the current crisis!

In other words, it was about rescuing the two from the imminent danger they were facing.

However, the present Li Yidao had no idea that Sister Zhou and Li Xinting were also about to face danger.

So, in this situation, his only consideration was naturally the current death status of the two.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yidao could only shake his head in resignation.

If he could save them, he would; if not, he would let it be.

Although the offer of a thousand years of lifespan plus two treasure chests was tempting, there were no penalties if he couldn’t save them.

This aspect of temporary tasks was quite good, as they didn’t come with compulsory execution.

But thinking about the last temporary task… even if there were penalties for

failure, Li Yidao wouldn’t be too concerned, would he…

At the same time, Sister Zhou and Li Xinting, after a day of bumpy travel, finally arrived at Li Xinting’s hometown.

By the time they reached this place, it was already evening.

So they spent the night in town, and the next morning, they found a car to return to the village.

Li Xinting first went home to let her parents know that she was safe.

Without lingering too long, she usually came back quite often.

Her parents, after learning her thoughts and purpose, didn’t try to stop her.

After all, her best friend was someone they had seen grow up.

This matter, they didn’t support, and they even tried to persuade her.

Unfortunately, they weren’t successful.

The little girl had firmly set her mind on completing this wedding, and then cutting off all ties with her foster parents.

She was a very loyal girl, even if her foster parents were far from ideal. Yet, when they found her and fed her as a child, she grew up under their care. With no special talents, she could only repay their kindness in this way.

It must be said, this was a rather perplexing situation.

But some people… are just that stubborn.

It was an old, run-down courtyard and three shabby houses stood there.

Li Xinting, accompanied by Sister Zhou, pushed open the door to one of the inner rooms.

There sat a young woman in her twenties, staring blankly at herself in the mirror.

When she heard the sound of the door opening and turned to see Li Xinting, her eyes were filled with surprise and shock.

But at the same time, there was a hint of avoidance in her gaze.

“What’s the matter with you, Yang Qingyue? You’ve grown so proud! You didn’t even answer my calls. Do you think you’re so great that you can repay the kindness of your despicable foster parents? Today, I want to see how you really feel. Are you actually naive, or just pretending?”

“Do you even know what kind of person Wang Ergou is? Are you really going to marry him just for that 188,800 yuan dowry?

“Can’t I provide for you? Are you really that foolish? Are you trying to make me lose my mind?”

As soon as she entered the room, Li Xinting switched to a yelling mode!

To be honest, Sister Zhou, who was standing on the side, was baffled!

Normally, Li Xinting was a quiet person!

What was going on?

Why was she acting like a shrew?

If she didn’t know the full story, Sister Zhou might think she was hurling insults!

Across from them, the girl referred to as Yang Qingyue by Li Xinting had a faint smile on her lips.

“Have you had breakfast?”

She didn’t respond to any of Li Xinting’s words but instead calmly asked this question.

Sister Zhou was also rendered speechless, amazed by Yang Qingyue’s thought process.

But Li Xinting’s response left Sister Zhou even more puzzled.

“No, I haven’t! I want cornmeal porridge!” She exclaimed, then promptly sat down.

“Well, I knew you’d come back. I’ve already prepared it for you.”

Saying this, Yang Qingyue got up and left the room.

Sister Zhou was speechless.

She stared at Yang Qingyue with wide eyes, then looked back at Li Xinting.

For a moment, she was thoroughly baffled.

What on earth was happening here?

Did these two have some kind of serious illness?

Was this how they communicated?

At this point, Li Xinting, unsure if she had noticed Sister Zhou’s state, spoke with some resignation, “Sit and wait for a moment. If I don’t eat this meal, she won’t talk.”

“Her temper is like this. If she wasn’t so stubborn, do you think I would have made the trip back myself?”

“Just… judging by her attitude, I might have to find that Wang Ergou!”

As Li Xinting mentioned Wang Ergou’s name, she looked a little annoyed.

The other party could be considered a local bully, one of the wealthiest people in the village, wielding power and authority over the entire village. This was a problem that many remote mountain villages couldn’t avoid.

At one point, he had pursued Li Xinting.

One of the major reasons Li Xinting was able to leave the village and become a streamer was because of Wang Ergou’s support. He was someone you couldn’t afford to offend…

You could only avoid him!

Talking it through with that Wang Ergou was not that simple..
