Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Have You Ever Seen a Fox-Eating Rabbit?

’I’m not listening! I’m not listening!’

Unfortunately, the system’s voice appeared directly in Lu Wu’s mind, and she couldn’t block it out.

[Current Mission: Sell one hundred servings of spicy rabbit heads within seven days.]

[Designated Location: Ten Thousand Mountains]

[Designated Time: All Day]

The moment Lu Wu saw the mission, she felt like something was off.

With her current customer base, selling a hundred rabbit heads would take her less than fifteen minutes.

The system did give her simple missions occasionally, but never *this* simple.

And the stall’s operating hours were all day.

’Does this mean the system thinks I probably can’t complete this mission if there’s a time limit?’

"System, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"

Lu Wu was furious!

She was going to resist the system’s tyranny! She was going to rise up and be her own master!

Lu Wu leaped up from her bed, startling the three little ones who were playing in the room. They all jumped onto the bed and looked at her, their eyes filled with worry.

Unfortunately, Lu Wu’s rebellion couldn’t awaken the system’s conscience.

[Teleportation countdown initiated. Host, please prepare.]

Lu Wu scoffed. ’What kind of food system has a teleportation function?’

[10... 9... 8... 3... 2...]

The system didn’t say another word, just relentlessly counted down.

To Lu Wu’s ears, each number sounded like a death knell.

"No way, you’re actually serious."

Seeing that the system wasn’t joking and the countdown was about to hit zero, Lu Wu hurriedly put the three little ones into her Grotto Heaven. The next second, she flickered, and then the room was empty.

The very instant Lu Wu disappeared, Uncle Li, who had been sleeping soundly next door, snapped his eyes open.

He stared toward the room next door with a sharp gaze, his icy eyes seemingly able to penetrate any obstacle. When he couldn’t find a trace of Lu Wu or the three little ones in the room, Uncle Li was stunned.

’How did she just disappear?’

’Where did my precious granddaughter go?’

’Who stole her? Give her back right now, or I’m going to raise hell!’

Message after message was sent out from Uncle Li’s side to various places. The first reaction of everyone who received them was disbelief.

But after asking again and again, they discovered that Uncle Li wasn’t pulling a prank with Boss Lu.

Lu Wu was really gone.

"Master, I want to leave the mountain."

In the Holy Sword Sect, Qin Zhan and the Heavenly Wind Taoist were locked in a staring contest. Qin Zhan had the shameless look of someone ready to throw a tantrum if he didn’t get his way.

"Go, then."

Who would have thought the Heavenly Wind Taoist would let him go so easily.

Recalling the taste of the milk tea he’d gotten after bribing Uncle Li, the Heavenly Wind Taoist decided not to bicker with his rebellious disciple.

’After all, I’m the one who came out on top this time.’

Besides, he also wanted to find Boss Lu as soon as possible.

Similar scenes were playing out in many other places. Several "tool-men" and countless customers gathered of their own accord, all to find the mysteriously vanished Boss Lu.

Fortunately, Uncle Li sent word that Boss Lu’s life wasn’t in danger for the time being, which allowed them to relax a little.

At this moment, Lu Wu, deep in the mountain forest, had no idea that her disappearance was about to trigger a massive search party mobilization for "Boss Lu" in the outside world.

Right now, she was staring blankly at her surroundings, dumbfounded.

She channeled her energy and flew to the top of a large tree. Standing on the dense canopy, she gazed at the endless forest around her, utterly stupefied.

Various shades of green spread out before her, with vibrant and deep hues sweeping across the entire landscape.

The shadows of the trees stretched and intertwined. The scent of earth and the fragrance of plants drifted in the air. The view was wild and vast.

It was a spectacular forest view, but with Lu Wu’s current eyesight, she couldn’t see any sign of civilization no matter how far she looked.

’This can’t be some kind of forbidden, uninhabited zone, can it?’

’They said Ten Thousand Mountains, and it’s really in the middle of a massive mountain range.’

"System, you ****."

Lu Wu was too tired to even complain properly.

’Do systems moonlight as human traffickers these days?’

She pulled out her One World Communication to check. And what do you know—no signal.

Lu Wu furiously kicked the tree.

Tree: I’m innocent.

After a long, fruitless attempt at pleading, all Lu Wu got in return was the system’s deafening silence.

It silenced her, too.

’I was perfectly fine before, and now I can’t go back.’

This place was completely deserted. Thankfully, the three little ones were still here with her.

She let the three of them out. The little ones seemed to adapt to this environment even better than Lu Wu herself.

Lu Wu returned to the ground.

The dark brown tree trunks were immensely thick. Dry leaves made soft crunching sounds under her feet. Plump, tender mushrooms grew on rotting wood, and some trees still bore fruit.

’Good news: I won’t starve to death in a place like this.’

’Bad news: my spiritual sustenance is 404’d.’

Lu Wu could only tearfully bid farewell to the handsome men and beautiful women on her One World Communication.

With a long sigh, Lu Wu resigned herself to her fate.

Lu Wu walked to the bottom of a nearby slope. This was her designated stall location.

With her back to a large tree, Lu Wu used a Spell to clear the area so she could set down her stall on level ground.

After a period of work, dusk began to fall.

Lu Wu fumbled around for a while and found a nearby cave, giving her a safe place to sleep for the night.

About to start her primitive life, Lu Wu wore a miserable expression.

The cave was very dry. Cuddling Mimi’s soft body, Lu Wu gradually drifted off to sleep.

Dahuang lay at the mouth of the cave, standing guard. Huohuo snuggled against Lu Wu’s cheek, its tail feathers swaying gently.

In the darkness, the three little ones’ gazes met.

’HEH HEH HEH!’

’Master is finally away from human territory! Now it’s our time to shine!’

’We’ll see if anyone dares to call us useless freeloaders again!’

Beast Beast Alliance, assemble!

She slept soundly through the night. When she awoke, the sky was bright, but almost no light penetrated the depths of the dense forest.

Breathing in the fresh scent of plants, Lu Wu stretched lazily. After washing up, she took out her stall, and then... stalled. She had no next move.

This time she was selling spicy rabbit heads. They were delicious, sure, but the pantry was empty.

She hadn’t started raising any animals in her Grotto Heaven yet. Looking at the plants surrounding her in all directions, Lu Wu decided to hunt for ingredients on the spot.

"Dahuang, Huohuo, go!"

"Mimi, We permit you to return to your original form for one hour."

"Go forth, and bring Us the rabbit heads."

’All land under heaven is the king’s land.’ As the local tyrant here, she unilaterally declared war on the Rabbit Clan.

The three little ones grew excited upon receiving their orders.

Beast Beast Alliance, move out!

The three of them shot off in different directions. All sorts of sounds echoed through the forest, startling birds into flapping their wings and flying away.

Not far from Lu Wu, a pregnant Red Fox was hiding in a pile of grass. Watching her home being ravaged by a large pack of rabbits, she burst into tears.

’My love, I’m useless. I can’t be with you anymore.’

’Don’t you worry. I will give birth to our healthy little ones. When they grow up, I will tell them to stay far away from those three-lobed mouths.’

Foxes eating rabbits is the normal food chain. But who could have known that in this remote mountain forest, those rabbits had undergone some unknown mutation? They stopped eating grass and started eating meat.

It was a complete reversal of the natural order!

And the first to suffer were the foxes.

Now, the foxes in this area had been nearly eaten to extinction by that pack of rabbits. Her mate, in order to protect her, was about to become the rabbits’ next meal.

The vixen patted her round belly and bravely wiped the tears from her eyes.

’My love, farewell. I will see you in the next life.’
