Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"Thank you for placing the order, brother. I wish you good health and all your wishes come true."

Su Yujin only stopped recording after repeating this sentence countless times.

He took a deep breath. He had heard that the Miao people were skilled in using Gu poison. Could it be that he had been poisoned by someone through a screen?

Otherwise, why is the image of the little priest constantly on my mind?

Su Yujin couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help but think about it more, so he picked up his phone and searched for Miao Gu poison.

The first thing that popped up was the phrase "love potion".

He examined it carefully, a cryptic glint in his eyes. If the one who cast the curse was a junior priest, it didn't seem impossible.

Wait, what is he thinking?

With Chi Xing as a living advertisement, doing live streams every now and then, people online finally started to believe that they were genuine Miao people. Besides Su Yujin, who would buy their specialties, quite a few other people would also buy them.

Everyone who bought from them gave positive reviews, saying that the items they provided were very generous, with more and better quality than what they could buy in the city.

Once the live stream account was launched, it attracted a lot of attention, including people who mentioned wanting to visit Qingzhu Village and asked if the priest could be their tour guide.

Chi Xing smiled without saying a word, while Xie Changyang stepped forward and offered to take them sightseeing.

After broadcasting for an hour, Akahoshi said goodbye to the people in the live stream, and turned around to see people standing behind the villagers who had appeared out of nowhere.

Ou Susu suddenly met Chi Xing's gaze, and he hurriedly lowered his head, hiding on the other side of the crowd.

250: [He's definitely plotting something bad again.]

Chi Xing pretended not to see it, turned around and went home, where she ran into Ou Ming.

The former priest was like a father to Chixing. Chixing and Ouming had a decent relationship; Ouming would greet them when they met, including this time.

Ou Ming said happily, "You're back so early. I heard your live stream was a great success. Can I join you?"

He had suggested going to the live stream together a long time ago, but his father wouldn't let him go. Ou Ming thought his father was afraid that he would steal Chi Xing's thunder.

See? This is his biological father. He's always helped Chixing since he was a child, and he doesn't even care about his own son.

The jealousy in his eyes seemed about to materialize, but Akahoshi pretended not to notice and said:

"The village chief has the final say on this matter; you should ask him."

Staring at Chi Xing's departing figure, Ou Ming no longer concealed the hatred in his eyes, and his face gradually became distorted.

A person came out from around the corner of the house, walked behind Ou Ming, and patted him on the shoulder.

Ou Ming was startled and turned around to see Ou Susu, who had been keeping her head down. He was furious and immediately started cursing:

"You ugly thing, are you trying to scare me to death?"

Ou Susu shrank back and whispered, "You don't want to deal with Chixing?"

"Hmph, the snake didn't work last time. What do you think I can do? I can't exactly kill it."

Murder is a crime; the police had told them this several years ago.

Besides, this kind of thing wasn't allowed in their village before; anyone who did it would be driven out of the village. There were many poisonous insects and wild animals in the mountains outside, and basically no one could survive in the mountains at night.

Ou Ming dared not kill anyone directly, let alone lay a hand on the priest; he could only secretly hate Chi Xing.

"No, without evidence, there's no way to prove you moved the person, right?"

Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, Ou Susu lowered her head and said, "Actually, you don't need to do it."

He didn't continue, which made Ou Ming anxious.

He slapped Ou Susu on the shoulder, his voice low and gritting his teeth: "Speak up."

The two didn't see the little black cat beside them and continued talking about their plans.

[Your Highness, the original owner's death was indeed orchestrated by Ou Susu.]

Back home, there were some vegetables in a basket hanging on the left side of the gate to the yard. Akahoshi took them down and brought them home.

As a priest, he would pray for the village every year, and the villagers would often bring him food.

He cooked a simple meal at home and opened his private account, intending to record a cooking video.

The first thing that popped up was an account nicknamed "Su" that had followed him. Akahoshi smiled and casually followed back.

I stopped what I was about to do and picked up some green beans, eggplant, and two eggs.

After setting up the phone to film, Akahoshi heated the oil in the wok using a traditional earthen stove and rapeseed oil. His stir-frying movements were clean and efficient, and he didn't say a word throughout the entire process. The only sounds in the video are the clatter of the spatula and the large iron wok.

Stir-fried eggplant and green beans, a bowl of egg drop soup, and a bowl of brown rice—that was Akahoshi's lunch.

He uploaded videos with simple instrumental music to his account, and revealed the account during a live stream, but he never posted videos and had very few followers.

The video was uploaded, but it received few likes and comments. Akahoshi didn't pay much attention to it and just ate his meal.

On the other side, Su Yujin looked at her nutritionally balanced work meal in front of her; the food in the video looked very simple.

He suddenly lost his appetite, and after thinking for a moment, sent a message: "[Is this all you usually eat?]"

Akahoshi received the message, smiled slightly, but did not reply. Instead, she focused on finishing the meal she had prepared.

The reply came a moment later.

Chi Xiaoxing: [Good afternoon, Brother Su.]

Su: [Hmm, judging from the videos you posted, is this what you usually eat?]

Akahoshi feigned confusion: "Huh? That's how we eat here. What's wrong?"

Su: [It's nothing.]

Chi Xiaoxing: [Where are you from, brother? I've heard the outside world is very prosperous.]

Su Yujin's brows relaxed when he saw children who would actively seek out topics to talk about, but he wasn't very good at chatting.

Su: [In the capital, my name is Su Yujin. Is Xiaoxing your name?]

During the live stream, he kept calling him "Priest," but Su Yujin still didn't know his name.

Chi Xiaoxing: [My name is Chixing, so I'll call you Brother Yu from now on.]

Sue: [Okay, but I'm not that much older than you.]

Calling him "brother" always felt a bit old-fashioned, and Su Yujin's mind conjured up images of people with big bellies who were called "brother."

He didn't want Akahoshi to misunderstand him as a greasy middle-aged man; he was only 24 years old, but saying it directly would be too obvious.

This was the first time Su Yujin had been troubled by something so trivial.

Chi Xiaoxing: [I'm nineteen this year, which isn't so young anymore.]

Chi Xiaoxing: [The village chief said I can start dating now.]

Su: [I am 24 years old this year, and I currently work as the president of the Su Group in Beijing, which means I manage the company. I have parents and a younger sister who is studying abroad. I own property and savings.]

Su Yujin typed so many words at once before realizing something was wrong. Just as she was about to delete the last few words, she accidentally clicked send.

Looking at the "typing" message displayed above, Su Yujin paused, her hand that was about to be withdrawn.

Chi Xing must have already seen it. Su Yujin took a deep breath and continued editing.

Su: [Xingxing, do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?]

A moment later, Chi Xiaoxing replied: [Brother Yu, do you want to have an online romance with me?]

Chi Xiaoxing: [I've never been in a relationship before. Also, I'm a guy. Yu-ge, you like guys?]

Su Yujin was a little stunned by this direct approach.

His finger hovered over the phone screen. Online dating?

He did not want.
