Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 3297: From Now On, You’re My Friend

It seemed to Ning Shu that Mei Ziqing had lost her mind. Ever since her husband’s death, she had been trapped in this state of hysteria.

“Are you okay? You seem a bit off to me,” Ning Shu questioned Mei Ziqing.

“Ning Shu, you are my friend. From this moment on, you’re my friend. Thank you, thank you.” As she spoke, Mei Ziqing rested a hand on Ning Shu’s shoulder.

Ning Shu used her hand to shove the other woman’s face away. “Keep your distance. Others might mistake your intentions for a kiss.”

Ning Shu merely grumbled, avoiding a direct answer about whether she would accept Mei Ziqing’s friendship.

In the future, she intended to be extremely careful about every connection she made.

Mei Ziqing let out a laugh. “Your sense of humor is exactly what I love about you.”

Ning Shu replied, “Haha~”

Their return journey was far from easy. They frequently trekked through dense forests to find shortcuts.

However, they suffered no losses. By coating the weapons with celestial star energy, their power had been significantly enhanced.

Now, Lar deserved to be called a true divine weapon.

She never anticipated that celestial star energy could be utilized in such a manner.

Mei Ziqing would use her bare hands to pummel the moon beasts until they were nearly dead, leaving Ning Shu to deliver the final blow—as moon beasts could only be slain by weapons.

By the time Ning Shu and Mei Ziqing finally arrived at the gates of the grand estate, they were both completely exhausted.

When Mei Ziqing attempted to enter, she was actually blocked by the gatekeeper.

It wasn't long before Mei Ziqing’s wealthy father appeared. The moment he saw her, his expression was overcome with grief and pity.

Mei Ziqing turned to Ning Shu and said, “Please, come inside.”

“There’s no need. Just provide me with some funds so I can find an inn,” Ning Shu said, extending her hand toward Mei Ziqing. “I served as your bodyguard the entire way; since you lost all five of your weapons, the burden of protecting your fragile self rested entirely on me.”

Mei Ziqing: …

This girl truly refused to be the one at a disadvantage.

Knowing that Ning Shu was irritated, Mei Ziqing instructed a servant to hand over a coin purse filled with gold.

Ning Shu caught the bag and gave it a shake, listening to the clink of the coins inside.

She gave Mei Ziqing a casual wave. “I’m off. Make sure you get some rest.”

Ning Shu headed toward an inn with Lar. As she turned, she spotted Dagger Mu standing nearby, his eyes welling with tears as he watched them.

Ning Shu felt no sympathy at all.

Dagger Mu approached and gazed at Lar. Lar asked him, “Where have you been?”

Ning Shu shot him a sidelong glance. “Obviously out committing misdeeds, like stabbing dead bodies.”

Dagger Mu rolled his eyes at Ning Shu before looking back at Lar. “I won’t be so stubborn anymore. Please don’t send me away.”

“Don't throw those kinds of tantrums at the Master ever again,” Lar warned Dagger Mu.

Dagger Mu gave a faint, mumbled “oh,” clearly not taking the lecture to heart.

Watching from the side, Ning Shu’s brow furrowed.

This fellow—doesn't he feel even a shred of guilt?

Ning Shu located an inn. To prevent the staff from kicking her out due to her disheveled appearance, she brandished a gold coin immediately.

A room and a hot bath were readied for her instantly.

Once she had finished bathing, Ning Shu sat down to a table overflowing with food and began her meal.

Dagger Mu then dragged someone forward to introduce to Ning Shu. “This is chainmail armor. His name is Armor Paige. He is a defensive weapon.”

“In the heat of battle, he can transform into armor to shield the body.”
