After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

The bandits watched their boss fall down, their eyes wide open, faces full of horror and disbelief.

The blood drained from their faces, as if their souls had been sucked out. They stood there, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

Some people opened their mouths wide but could not make a sound; some people's legs went weak and they almost collapsed to the ground.

Nan Qiao coldly glanced at the panicked bandits, his voice icy and commanding: "You evildoers, committing crimes and taking human lives in this world, are truly unforgivable."

"But I'm willing to give you a chance to mend your ways. Today, I'll be merciful and spare your lives."

"From now on, within a quarter of an hour, you must put down the food and money you stole and immediately get out of this village. You are not allowed to set foot here again. If you do it again, I will not let you off lightly!"

"I hope you will take good care of yourselves, turn over a new leaf, and do good deeds from now on."

The bandits looked at their boss lying lifeless on the ground, and fear spread in their hearts like a tide. They looked at each other, their eyes full of panic and helplessness.

After a moment, someone was the first to react and said in a trembling voice, "Hurry... hurry up!"

Everyone woke up as if from a dream, turned around and prepared to flee like a group of stray dogs.

They walked in a panic, and from time to time someone was tripped by the debris on the ground, but they quickly got up and continued to flee.

Some people didn't even bother to take away their weapons, and just wanted to get away from this terrible place as soon as possible.

Under the cover of night, they ran out of the village in dejection.

As they ran, they looked back from time to time, as if they were afraid that the mysterious girl would suddenly catch up with them.

The wind whistled in their ears, as if condemning their evil deeds.

Looking at the bandits' fleeing backs in panic, Nan Qiao's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her body swayed slightly as if all the strength had been drained away.

She secretly felt lucky that the last bullet didn't miss, otherwise she would be really finished.

Thinking of this, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

The colorful smoke just now was actually the distress smoke bomb in her backpack, and the lightning in her palm was actually a stun gun for self-protection. Fortunately, Uncle Zhao Gang put two in her backpack.

She looked down at her empty palms, recalling the thrilling scene just now, and felt a pang of fear in her heart.

The bandits disappeared completely from sight, and the dangerous atmosphere finally dissipated.

At this time, the little boy slowly walked out from his hiding place. His steps were steady, without any panic that a child would have after experiencing such a thrilling incident.

The little boy came to Nan Qiao with a bright smile on his face, but this smile was reserved beyond his age.

He raised his hands and clapped softly to celebrate his victory. "Sister, you are really amazing. You actually drove the bandits away!"

His voice was clear and powerful, full of genuine admiration.

"You are very powerful too. If it weren't for your Riding the Wind Technique, I really wouldn't be able to defeat these bandits." Nan Qiao couldn't help but bend down and rub the little boy's hair.

The little boy frowned slightly and seemed to be somewhat resistant to her actions, but he did not resist.

After Nan Qiao withdrew her hand, he straightened his back slightly, looked at Nan Qiao with a firm gaze, and said solemnly: "Sister, you are out of danger now. Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Zimo."

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and as steady as a wise man who had experienced many things in life.

Nan Qiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Hello, my name is Nan Qiao."

"Sister Nanqiao," Zhou Zimo calmly analyzed, "Though those bandits have been driven away this time, we can't let our guard down. They might very well come back again."

His eyes gleamed with wisdom, "It's still very dangerous here. Come with me back to my family."

Although he didn't know why Nan Qiao, as a mortal, had a magical weapon, if the bandits returned to the village again, she would most likely be doomed.

"Your family?"

Zhou Zimo nodded, "My family is a family of immortals for generations."

Zhou Zimo raised his chin slightly, his expression revealing a solemnity.

"Sister Nanqiao, I am a direct descendant of the Zhou family. I originally went out with my parents just to witness the sermons of a great cultivator. It was supposed to be a grand event that I was looking forward to, but I never expected to be ambushed by someone with ulterior motives."

A trace of pain and confusion flashed in his eyes, as if he recalled the thrilling scene.

"In the chaos, I lost my parents while fleeing. These days, I've been searching for a way home. When I passed by this village, I wanted to stay for a few days, but I didn't expect to encounter bandits attacking the village."

Zhou Zimo sighed softly, his young face filled with determination. "Although I'm young, I understand the responsibilities and duties of my family. I must find my parents as soon as possible, return to my family, and make those who attacked me pay the price."

"Sister Nanqiao, are you really unwilling to return to the family with me? Listen to me, even though you are a little older than me, what's the problem?"

"Although our family does not dare to claim to be the strongest, its strength should not be underestimated, especially in terms of abundant cultivation resources. Our family will definitely help you take a step further on the road of cultivation." Zhou Zimo spoke sincerely, his eyes full of expectation.

"Sister Nan Qiao, my family is truly great. My father and mother are both loyal and righteous people. You saved me, and they will surely be extremely grateful to you and reward you handsomely."

Zhou Zimo continued to lobby, trying to dispel Nan Qiao's concerns.

"Sister Nan Qiao, my family has a huge treasure house, which contains countless rare treasures. As long as you come back with me, the treasure house will be open to you, and you can freely choose the treasure you like."

Zhou Zimo became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen the scene where Nan Qiao was shocked by the treasures in the treasury.

Originally, Nan Qiao was a little hesitant about going back with Zhou Zimo. She had many considerations in her mind.

After all, she didn't know Zhou Zimo's family well, and if she went there rashly, she didn't know what kind of situation she would face.

However, when she heard Zhou Zimo mention that there was a treasure house and she could choose freely, her eyes lit up instantly and the hesitation in her heart was instantly thrown away.

Nan Qiao's eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky. She nodded quickly, as if she was afraid Zhou Zimo would change his mind, and said anxiously, "Okay, I'll go back with you."

At this moment, countless precious cultivation techniques and treasures had emerged in her mind.

She seemed to see herself returning to the laboratory with these cultivation techniques and treasures, and everyone was amazed and grinning at the items she brought back.

These things are more precious than energy crystals and nano-repair machines!
