Chapter 23: The Kidnapped Child

"..."

Clatter, a survivor dropped his chopsticks on the ground.

"Ao——!!My family——!!!"

The survivor suddenly let out a wail and flung herself at Chen Qing, hugging her and sobbing.

"Wuwuwu——you have no idea what we've been through these days wuwuwu——"

The girl cried messily, her misery palpable.

When she first entered the game, she thought she could defeat the South Mountain Pirates with her fists and kick the Beihai Fish Beasts, but in the end...

Wuwuwu——it was too inhumane.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Chen Qing gently patted the girl on the back, patiently consoling her.

"You are safe now."

"..."

Daliya, in the kitchen, was leaning against the doorway, almost seething with resentment that seemed to take nearly physical form, staring intently at the girl.

"Boss, I can wash clothes, cook, clean, and I also can sing little songs. Please take me in wuwuwu——I don't want to wander anymore."

The girl asked Chen Qing while crying and hoping.
