CFSMS -Chapter 188 Have You Ever Seen a Rabbit Eat a Fox?

Not listening, not listening!

Unfortunately, the system’s voice appeared directly in Lu Wu’s mind. There was no way for her to block it out.

[Current Mission: Sell 100 servings of Spicy Rabbit Heads within seven days.]

[Designated Location: Hundred Thousand Mountains]

[Designated Time: All day]

The moment Lu Wu saw the mission, she felt something suspicious was going on.

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

The system occasionally assigned easy missions, but never this easy.

And the stall operating hours were listed as all day.

Didn’t that mean the system believed she might fail if there were any time restrictions?

“System, are you deliberately making things difficult for me?”

Lu Wu was furious.

She wanted to rebel against the system’s tyranny.

She wanted to stand up and become her own master.

Jumping off the bed in one motion, she startled the three little companions that had been playing in the room. All three immediately climbed onto the bed and looked at her worriedly.

Sadly, Lu Wu’s rebellion failed to awaken the system’s conscience.

[Teleportation countdown. Host, please prepare.]

Lu Wu sneered.

What kind of gourmet system came with a teleportation function?

[10, 9, 8… 3, 2…]

The system remained silent, continuing its countdown.

Each number sounded like a death sentence in Lu Wu’s ears.

“Wait, you’re serious?”

Realizing the system wasn’t joking and that the countdown was about to hit zero, Lu Wu hurriedly stuffed the three little ones into her pocket realm.

The next second, her body swayed.

Then the room became completely empty.

The instant Lu Wu disappeared, Old Master Li, who had been sleeping soundly next door, suddenly opened his eyes.

His sharp gaze swept toward the neighboring room.

That icy stare seemed capable of piercing through all obstacles.

When he discovered that neither Lu Wu nor the three little ones could be found anywhere inside, he froze.

Where did she go?

Where was his precious granddaughter?

Who stole her?

Give her back right now, or he was going to throw a fit.

Messages were immediately sent from Old Master Li to various locations.

Everyone who received them reacted the same way at first:

They didn’t believe it.

But after repeatedly confirming the information, they realized Old Master Li wasn’t joking with Boss Lu.

Lu Wu had genuinely vanished.

“Master, I’m going down the mountain.”

Inside the Holy Sword Sect, Qin Zhan stared at Daoist Tianfeng, both refusing to back down.

His expression practically screamed:

If you don’t agree, I’m going to throw a tantrum.

“Go ahead.”

To Qin Zhan’s surprise, Daoist Tianfeng approved immediately.

Recalling the milk tea he had obtained after bribing Old Master Li, he decided not to argue with his troublesome disciple this time.

After all, he had come out ahead.

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

Similar scenes played out all across the cultivation world.

The various “tool people” and countless customers spontaneously gathered together, all with the same goal:

Finding the mysteriously vanished Boss Lu.

Fortunately, Old Master Li assured everyone that Lu Wu’s life was not currently in danger, which eased their worries somewhat.

At this moment, deep within a forest, Lu Wu had no idea that her disappearance was about to trigger a massive search operation.

She stared blankly at her surroundings.

Completely dumbfounded.

Gathering spiritual energy beneath her feet, she flew to the top of a giant tree.

Standing atop the dense canopy, she gazed across the endless forest stretching to the horizon.

Her jaw dropped.

Shades of green spread endlessly before her eyes.

Fresh spring green and deep emerald covered the world.

Elongated shadows intertwined beneath the trees.

The scents of earth and vegetation drifted through the air.

The landscape felt primitive, wild, and boundless.

It was a magnificent sight.

But with Lu Wu’s current eyesight, she could see no trace of human habitation anywhere.

Could this be some kind of uninhabited forbidden zone?

So the Hundred Thousand Mountains were literally just… mountains.

“System, you damned scammer.”

Lu Wu felt powerless to complain further.

Did systems now double as human traffickers?

She pulled out her One Realm Communicator and checked it.

No signal.

Wonderful.

Lu Wu angrily kicked a tree.

The tree: I’m innocent!

After patiently trying to reason with the system for quite some time, all she received was its deafening silence.

Eventually, she too fell silent.

She had arrived just fine.

Getting back was another story entirely.

The place was devoid of people.

Fortunately, the three little companions were still with her.

After releasing them, the three adapted to the environment far better than she did.

Returning to the ground, Lu Wu examined her surroundings.

The dark-brown tree trunks were thick and ancient.

Dead leaves crunched beneath her feet.

Plump mushrooms grew from decaying logs.

Fruit hung from some of the branches.

Good news:

She wasn’t going to starve in a place like this.

Bad news:

Her spiritual sustenance had returned a 404 error.

With tears in her eyes, Lu Wu bid farewell to all the handsome men and beautiful women on the One Realm Communicator.

Sighing deeply, she accepted her fate.

She selected a spot near the base of a hillside as her future stall location.

Leaning against a large tree, she used spells to clear and level the ground.

After a period of hard work, evening arrived.

She explored nearby and found a cave suitable for spending the night.

Facing the prospect of primitive wilderness living, Lu Wu wore a miserable expression.

The cave was dry and comfortable.

Holding the soft, fluffy cat in her arms, she gradually drifted off to sleep.

Da Huang lay outside the cave on guard duty.

Huo Huo rested beside Lu Wu’s face, its tail feathers gently swaying.

In the darkness, the gazes of the three little companions met.

Gaa! Gaa! Gaa!

At last, their master was far away from those human territories.

Now it was their time to shine.

Let’s see who dared call them freeloaders after this.

Beast Alliance—assemble!

The night passed peacefully.

When Lu Wu woke up, daylight had already filled the sky, though very little sunlight penetrated the dense forest.

Breathing in the fresh scent of vegetation, she stretched lazily.

After washing up, she took out her stall.

Then she stopped.

There was no next step.

This mission required selling spicy rabbit heads.

Delicious, yes.

But even the landlord’s house had no surplus grain.

She wasn’t raising livestock in her pocket realm yet.

Looking at the endless sea of plants surrounding her, Lu Wu decided to hunt on-site.

“Da Huang! Huo Huo! Go!”

“Mimi, I hereby permit you to return to your true form for one hour.”

“Go forth and bring rabbit heads back to your emperor!”

As the self-proclaimed local ruler, she unilaterally declared war on the rabbit race.

The three little companions became excited immediately.

Beast Alliance, move out!

The trio charged off in different directions.

Various noises echoed through the mountains, startling birds into flight.

Not far from Lu Wu’s location, a pregnant red fox hid within a patch of grass.

Looking at the homeland being ravaged by a massive horde of rabbits, tears streamed down her face.

Husband… your wife is useless.

I can’t stay by your side anymore.

Don’t worry. I’ll give birth to healthy cubs.

When they grow up, I’ll tell them to stay far away from those three-lipped monsters.

Foxes eating rabbits was the natural order of the food chain.

But who could have imagined that, in this remote wilderness, the rabbits had undergone some bizarre mutation?

They no longer ate grass.

They ate meat.

The world had truly turned upside down.

And the first victims had been the foxes.

By now, nearly every fox in the area had been eaten by those rabbits.

Her husband, in order to protect her, was about to become rabbit food.

The mother fox gently rubbed her swollen belly and wiped away her tears.

Husband…

Farewell.

See you in the next life.
