For Xia Ruoxue, all she needed was a shield; who that shield was didn't matter.
Compared to using a stranger as a shield, it's obviously more appropriate to use someone you know well.
Xia Ruoxue was extremely grateful that Ling Yi was willing to stand up for her and act as a shield.
Xia Ruoxue loathed Qin Hao to the extreme.
Qin Hao is a complete playboy. He changes girlfriends more often than he changes clothes. He's arrogant, domineering, and conceited.
Xia Ruoxue was at an age where she was full of fantasies about love. To her, love was Divine and pure.
In Xia Ruoxue's heart, Qin Hao was nothing but trash.
She would rather die than date or marry someone like that.
Today, Qin Hao threatened her again with orders worth tens of billions of yuan, which made Xia Ruoxue even more disgusted.
" Xia Ruoxue, are you sure you want to use your bodyguard as a shield?" Qin Hao asked, pointing at Ling Yi.
"What excuse? Ling Yi and I have been together for a long time." Xia Ruoxue said, tightening her grip on Ling Yi's arm.
"Now that you have a boyfriend, I, Qin Hao, am not ungrateful. From now on, I, Qin Hao, will never appear in front of you again."
Qin Hao didn't care who Xia Ruoxue used as a shield; all he wanted now was to leave this place as soon as possible, cherish his life, and stay away from Lin Feng.
"However, to show my sincerity, I will still award the multi-billion dollar order to your Xia Family, as compensation for all these years to you and the Xia Family."
As Qin Hao spoke, he handed a contract to Xia Hong, who was Xia Ruoxue's father.
An old man who looked quite sprightly.
Xia Hong was still somewhat bewildered.
Originally, he was determined to get Xia Ruoxue and Qin Hao out of the city. If Xia Ruoxue could marry Qin Hao and form a marriage alliance with the Qin Family, it would be of great benefit to his Xia Family.
Unexpectedly, Xia Ruoxue not only had no liking for Qin Hao, but also loathed him.
Xia Hong was also somewhat helpless. He couldn't really do what was shown in the short drama, tie Xia Ruoxue up, or drug her and send her to the beds in front of and behind him, could he?
Regardless of whether it will work out, even if it does, Ruoxue doesn't know how much she will hate Xia Hong and the Xia Family!
Ruoxue was someone he had watched grow up; no one knew her temperament better than him, her father.
At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for Xia Ruoxue to simply whisper something in Qin Hao's ear and get the Qin Family to deal with the Xia Family.
I'm afraid that in the end, it will only result in more losses than gains.
However, it seems the ending was actually quite good.
With orders worth billions secured, the Xia Family will reach a new level of success.
"Thank you, Young Master Qin, for your magnanimity and for not holding a grudge. I am ashamed!" Xia Hong held the contract but did not sign it immediately. Instead, he clasped his hands in a gesture of apology to Qin Hao.
"Hurry up and sign, I'm busy!" Qin Hao said impatiently.
"Well, then I'll accept without being impolite." Xia Hong wanted to say something polite, but he was also afraid that things might get complicated if he waited too long.
I opened the contract, signed it, and then affixed the company seal.
Two copies were made, and one copy was given to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao took the contract, waved his arm casually, and then turned and ran.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Everyone stared in disbelief.
However, before stepping out the door, she glanced in Ling Yi's direction.
Ling Yi understood that look in his eyes; it was a look of wishing for one's own good fortune.
[Ding! Successfully rescued cannon fodder Qin Hao, gaining 3 Cannon Fodder Points!]
[Ding! Successfully rescued the cannon fodder! Host has received 2 Cultivation Enhancement Card a reward, which can be used at any time!]
Cultivation Enhancement Card?
You can tell what it's used for just by its name.
"System, can't this Cultivation Enhancement Card be brought back to the real world?"
[Ding, the host can only bring back Cannon Fodder Points.]
Ling Yi was somewhat disappointed.
Since we can't bring it back, we might as well use it; it'll be perfect for handling the upcoming plot.
With the use of the two Cultivation Card.
Ling Yi's cultivation level jumped directly from the Late Ming Jin to the Late An Jin, and then from the Late An Jin to the late stage of Hua Jin.
He jumped two major realms in a row.
This wave is stable.
At least against the Dragon King, who is currently at the early stage of the Hua Jin, there shouldn't be any problem.
Originally, Ling Yi's idea was to earn as many Cannon Fodder Points as possible.
As long as we get the Cannon Fodder Points, it doesn't matter if Lin Feng kills us.
It's not like you can only travel through time once, or only to one world.
Ling Yi's idea was simple: earn what he could, and worry about the rest later.
But does this mean the cannon fodder has been successfully saved?
Furthermore, Ling Yi was originally supposed to save Xia Ruoxue, so why did he end up saving Qin Hao instead?
After thinking about it, Ling Yi understood the reason.
By voluntarily acting as a shield, he not only shielded Xia Ruoxue but also those before and after her, preventing Lin Feng from incurring the Karma that would have otherwise posed to Qin Hao.
If their group can withstand Lin Feng, then Qin Hao's fate as cannon fodder will be saved.
Can I handle it myself?
It seems they can withstand it now.
One more thing: when Qin Hao left, the word "cannon fodder" above his head did not disappear.
The only difference is that the Cannon Fodder Level has been reduced from lv3 to lv2!
In other words, he could still earn Cannon Fodder Points from Qin Hao in the future.
Or rather, as long as Lin Feng is still around, and if he wants to deal with the Qin Family or Qin Hao in the future, Ling Yi will be able to continuously exploit him as cannon Cannon Fodder Points.
It's not a one-off deal.
One wave at a time.
Feeling the surging power within himself, Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Next, we need to deal with Lin Feng.
As long as Lin Feng is sent away, Ling Yi can earn a lot of Cannon Fodder Points in this round.
It's worth noting that Lin Feng killed quite a few people in this "Return of the Dragon King" storyline.
Those around us marked with the word "cannon fodder" will all die here.
But now...
Before Lin Feng could make a move, Ling Yi, with Xia Ruoxue in his arms, turned around first to face Lin Feng directly.
He raised his right hand and threw a punch at Lin Feng Across Space a distance.
A terrifying force was released, and the icy blue Ice vortex rushed towards Lin Feng.
In this scenario's world, Combat between powerhouses at the Transformation Realm and above are always packed with amazing special effects.
Ling Yi's move is called the Ice Palm.
His original the Final Master, that Daoist priest, had already taught him.
However, this move cannot be used unless one has reached the Hua Jin.
This was Ling Yi's first time using it, and the effect was surprisingly good.
However, Ling Yi's move was not intended to harm anyone, but merely to Intimidation.
Therefore, the Ice vortex stopped abruptly and disappeared in front of Lin Feng.
"Today is not the time, you should go back!" Ling Yi said to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's face was extremely ugly.
His eyes were fixed on Ling Yi, and he said coldly, "I didn't expect the Xia Family to have a master of the Hua Jin Realm."
Lin Feng could sense that Ling Yi was stronger than him.
Lin Feng had to temporarily cancel his original plan to bring back the Dragon King.
Otherwise, if he were to return as the Dragon King and get beaten up, wouldn't he have no dignity?
"There's much more you haven't considered. The Dragon King Hall means nothing to me. I'll protect the Xia Family. Get out!"
Lin Feng's face twitched a few times, then he turned and left.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have saved Bao Yun Feng! Cannon Fodder Points +1!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have saved Li Cheng! Cannon Fodder Points +1!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have saved Xia Hong. Cannon Fodder Points +2!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have saved Xia Ruoxue! Cannon Fodder Points +5!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the rescue and have received the following rewards: Ice Dragon Jin x1, Cultivation Card x2, Beauty-Nourishing Pill x3, Vajra Indestructibility Divine Skill x1, Body Tempering Pill x2, Marrow-Cleansing Pill x2, Lifespan Pill x1, Antidote Pill x2!]
A total of 28 Cannon Fodder Points were obtained.
As for the other rewards, although they cannot be taken out of the real world, they are enough for Ling Yi to establish himself in this world.
It seems that rescuing cannon fodder isn't so difficult after all!
" Ling Yi, what exactly happened?" Xia Ruoxue asked, looking at Lin Feng as he left, her face full of confusion.
"This isn't the place to talk about this. Call your father and let's find a quiet place to discuss this further."
