Chapter 193 seems to be related to the magical world.
Long Xiaoxiao didn't stay in the same spot for long. Because of Zhang Huo's sudden appearance, and the fact that she had waited for half a day without seeing the time-space fugitive, she simply took Zhang Huo back to Xingyin Mountain.
This was Zhang Huohuo's first time riding a dragon in so many years, and he was quite unaccustomed to it. He lowered his body and clung to the little dragon while chatting with the system.
"I bought this communicator with my own points!" the system said, sounding a little indignant. "You'll have to pay me back when we get back."
The system purchased a communication tool and connected with Zhang Huo, which allowed Zhang Huo to hear the system speak.
Zhang Huo paused, then said lightly, "Shouldn't we get reimbursed from headquarters?"
"You still have to reimburse me," the system said irritably.
Hearing them talking in a low voice, Long Xiaoxiao asked the system curiously, "Uncle, what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing." The system sighed. "It's just work. You should hurry back up the mountain."
Long Xiaoxiao nodded blankly and quickened her pace.
The sudden acceleration almost made Zhang Huo, who had been sitting comfortably, lose his balance and quickly grabbed on.
Before long, Long Xiaoxiao flew into China and quickly arrived at Xingyin Mountain.
Upon arriving at their destination, Long Xiaoxiao put Zhang Huo down. Rong Ming and the others, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, quickly came to Long Xiaoxiao's side. They noticed the sudden appearance of the stranger Zhang Huo and looked on with puzzlement.
“This is my friend,” Long Xiaoxiao explained.
Rong Ming and the others were taken aback. They looked at Zhang Huo carefully for a few moments but couldn't see anything special. However, they still nodded respectfully in agreement and then turned to ask Zhang Huo if he wanted to eat.
Zhang Huo couldn't understand what they were saying, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the system.
After the system translated it for Zhang Huo, Zhang Huo's eyes lit up immediately.
Since he came into this world, he has been eating the nutrient solution that he had stored up. He hadn't had a proper meal in a long time, and his mouth watered. So he nodded decisively.
However, considering that if he were too far away from Long Xiaoxiao, his connection with the system would automatically break, Zhang Huo used gestures to indicate that he wanted to eat with Long Xiaoxiao.
"Huh?" Rong Ming and the others were stunned, subconsciously thinking that Zhang Huo wanted them to feed him like they would feed Long Xiaoxiao.
After a moment's slow reaction, everyone realized that he probably just wanted to eat near Long Xiaoxiao, so they quickly moved a set of tables and chairs over and placed them near Long Xiaoxiao.
Because Long Xiaoxiao had been away for quite some time, she was now quite hungry, so she began to eat heartily.
While eating, Long Xiaoxiao didn't forget about the fugitives. She earnestly asked the system, "Uncle, is this Brother Zhang Huo here to catch the fugitives? When will he be able to catch them?"
In Long Xiaoxiao's eyes, anyone who could come out of the headquarters mentioned by the system was super powerful, so once Zhang Huo arrived, he would definitely be able to capture all those evil time-space fugitives.
The system chuckled a few times.
He never expected that the person sent by headquarters would be Zhang Huo!
When the system first detected Zhang Huo's aura in the crowd, it felt a sense of despair and thought there was no hope.
He wasn't familiar with the other people, so there was still some hope. But if it was Zhang Huo, then they would really be coming to their deaths together.
The system sighed, but on the surface, it still maintained a beautiful illusion for Long Xiaoxiao: "Hmm...maybe he'll be able to catch him in a while. By the way, why do you call him brother?"
The system suddenly felt a little depressed. When it left the factory, Zhang Huo was already working at headquarters. In fact, Zhang Huo was older than it. Why should it call him uncle and Zhang Huo brother?
Long Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, her tone innocent and naive: "Because he's older than me, but younger than you."
system:"……"
Never mind, children say the darndest things.
Beside them, Zhang Huo, who had been feasting all day, was completely satisfied. He patted his round belly, slumped lazily in a soft chair, and turned to the system, saying with a sigh, "Is this the kind of good life you guys usually live?"
The system said quietly, "You should thank Xiaoxiao; it's her who has allowed you to live such a good life."
Zhang Huo chuckled, straightened up slightly, turned his head to look at Long Xiaoxiao carefully again, and then said with a smile, "0027, your little host seems to be quite cute."
As he spoke, Zhang Huo stood up and walked to Long Xiaoxiao, gently touching her dragon horns.
At this time, Long Xiaoxiao had just eaten and drunk her fill and was feeling a little sleepy from the warm sun. When someone touched her dragon horns, she just opened her eyes blankly, and after confirming that there was no danger, she lazily continued to sleep.
Hearing Zhang Huo praise Long Xiaoxiao, the system's attitude softened, and it said happily, "Absolutely, our Xiaoxiao is the cutest little dragon."
Hearing the system's proud tone, Zhang Huo couldn't help but chuckle, but he managed to suppress it and turned to tell the system about the recent events at headquarters.
“The boss has been very irritable lately.” Zhang Huo’s tone was slow and leisurely, as if he were just having a casual chat after dinner, talking about some unimportant things. “The spread of the time-space fugitives is getting wider and wider, but this time their purpose seems to be very clear.”
Seeing that they were getting down to business, the system also became serious and urged Zhang Huo to continue.
"They seem to really dislike the image of the dragon," Zhang Huo said calmly.
At this point, Zhang Huo reached out and gently touched Long Xiaoxiao's dragon horns.
The dragon's horns, reflecting the sunlight, shimmered with a jade-like luster, and combined with the sparkle of its scales, they were simply breathtakingly beautiful.
The system was a little puzzled by this: "Why? Didn't the others only dislike time-space transfer stations?"
"I don't know." Zhang Huo shook his head, then glanced at Long Xiaoxiao, his tone more serious this time. "It's said that it's related to your host's world."
A magical world?
The system panicked. Could something have happened to Xiaoxiao's family? Wouldn't Xiaoxiao be devastated?
"No way?" the system asked cautiously.
The system felt heartbroken just thinking about how Long Xiaoxiao had finally completed her mission, only to find her family had all met with misfortune upon returning home.
The system couldn't even imagine how heartbroken Long Xiaoxiao would be if something really happened to her family, given how close she was to them.
Moreover, if time-traveling fugitives can come to this world, it would probably be even more dangerous in a magical world.
The more the system thought about it, the more uneasy it felt, and the more panicked it became.
Zhang Huo remained calm. After thinking for a moment, he reassured the system, "It shouldn't be too troublesome. Those people don't have that much guts."
After saying that, Zhang Huo gave a faint sneer: "Just a rat in the gutter."
