Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 256 Slapping the Arrogant One in the Face 3

Even after Leng Yuexing walked to the man's side, he remained lying motionless on the ground with his eyes closed.

The little white ball chirped and, seeing that Leng Yuexing was just staring, anxiously pointed at the man.

Leng Yuexing crouched down to examine him. She initially thought the man was unconscious due to serious injuries, but after checking, she found that he had no wounds.

"He wasn't injured, so why is he unconscious?" Leng Yuexing asked in surprise.

The white ball of fluff pointed to the mask the man was wearing.

"Do you want me to take off his mask?" Leng Yuexing asked.

The white dumpling nodded.

Leng Yuexing raised an eyebrow, then gently placed her finger on the man's mask. Not sensing anything unusual, she tried to forcefully remove the mask from the man's face.

With three-tenths of the force applied, the mask remained motionless; with five-tenths of the force applied, the mask remained firmly attached to the man's face.

"Chirp?" The white dumpling couldn't help but tilt its head to look at Leng Yuexing.

An awkward atmosphere quietly permeated the cave.

Leng Yuexing pursed her lips, then curled her lips into a smile, her eyes hardening, and with all her might, she snapped the mask off, and it fell to the ground with a loud "crack".

Leng Yuexing then realized that the mask was not only covering the man's face, but also the back of his head. With a flick of her wrist, Leng Yuexing broke the mask in two.

He coughed awkwardly, but the little white ball didn't seem to mind. It meowed and then jumped onto the man, bouncing around as if trying to wake him up.

The "bang bang bang" sounds were unusually heavy, and Leng Yuexing couldn't bear to look at them. He even felt a dull pain in his chest.

Unexpectedly, after the white ball of dough had only bounced a dozen times, the man suddenly gasped for breath and opened his eyes with a whoosh.

Leng Yuexing watched without showing any emotion.

The man opened his eyes and immediately sat up, fully alert.

Upon seeing Leng Yuexing squatting beside him, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. Then, he grabbed Leng Yuexing by the neck and forced her to the ground.

The delicate touch in his palm made his breath catch in his throat. He asked in a low voice, "Where is this? And who are you?"

"Is this how you treat your savior?" Leng Yuexing's eyes instantly turned cold.

He wasn't unaware of the man's movements, but as he dodged, the man instantly changed direction, and because of his physical weakness, he didn't dodge again.

The man only loosely gripped Leng Yuexing's neck, without using much force.

Upon hearing Leng Yuexing's question, her eyes flashed, and she instantly withdrew her hand.

He rubbed his forehead, frowned, and whispered, "You saved me? Why don't I have any memories of what happened before?"

“It was indeed me who saved you, but I don’t know why you lost your memory.” Leng Yuexing rubbed her neck and sat up from the ground.

Since the man had amnesia, he decided not to pursue the matter further.

The man closed his eyes and tried hard to recall, but found his mind blank. Apart from some basic common sense, he couldn't remember who he was, what had happened, or why he was there.

The white ball of fur was chirping nearby. The man looked over at the sound and asked in surprise, "Is that your pet? What is it?"

"Isn't that your pet?" Leng Yuexing thought the white ball of fur belonged to this man, but wasn't it?

The man frowned upon hearing this and said, "I have no recollection of it at all."

He looked at Leng Yuexing and saw the marks on his neck. His heart ached inexplicably, and he lowered his brows and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I hurt you just now."

Leng Yuexing was rubbing her neck when she saw the man's apologetic face. Knowing that he was genuinely apologizing, she shook her head and said, "Since you didn't mean it, I forgive you."

The man reached into his pocket and found a spatial button. He opened the spatial button by instinct.

Inside was a ten-square-meter room filled with all sorts of food. He took out a few cans and handed them to Leng Yuexing, saying, "Consider these as an apology."

Leng Yuexing reached out and took them, and saw that several of them were canned beef, and one was a canned peach.

He held up the can of food in his hand and said to the man, "Do you know how precious this food is? You're just giving it to me like this, aren't you afraid you'll regret it later?"

"Of course I know," the man said in a deep voice. His space only contained food, which showed that food was the most important resource.

“But you deserve it,” the man added.

Leng Yuexing raised an eyebrow, "Just because I saved you?"

The man remained silent, but his eyes softened slightly. He picked up the mask that had fallen to the side and changed the subject, saying, "Is this mine too?"

Leng Yuexing nodded. "You woke up after I took it off your face."

The man studied the mask and finally found a character engraved on one corner of it—Pei.

"My surname is Pei?" the man murmured, then a name suddenly echoed in his mind.

The moment the name "Pei Che" left his lips, the man was certain that it was his name.

"Your name is Pei Che?" Leng Yuexing asked.

Pei Che nodded, "I'm very familiar with this name; it should be my name."

“Okay, then I’ll call you Pei Che from now on. I’m Leng Yuexing.” Leng Yuexing extended her hand to Pei Che.

Pei Che held Leng Yuexing's hand tightly and whispered, "Yuexing."

Leng Yuexing wanted to say that they weren't that close and that she shouldn't call him that, but she stopped herself after seeing Pei Che's eyes.

Pei Che looked at him with eyes full of tenderness, which contrasted sharply with his cold and hard face.

Leng Yuexing's eyes flickered slightly, then he asked with a light laugh, "What are your plans for the future?"

"I need to find out why I became like this. First, tell me where I am?"

“This is the garbage dump.” Leng Yuexing pointed to the sky. “To be precise, this is in the rocky hills on the edge of the garbage dump.”

Garbage area...

Pei Che searched his mind for the garbage dump, but could only recall a simple sentence.

The garbage dump is where the kingdom dumps its garbage, and people living in the garbage dump are not allowed to live in other areas.

Pei Che was certain that he had never been to the garbage dump before, because he simply couldn't imagine living in garbage.

So why did he come to this place?

Just as he was racking his brains, the white dumpling dragged a cloth bag to Pei Che's side and pointed at the bag, chirping.

Pei Che took the bag, which was only the size of his palm. He opened it and found a note inside with the following sentence: "Go to the garbage area to find the missing prince."

It was obvious that someone had written this note to him on purpose, and perhaps that was why he was in this garbage dump.

But who is the missing prince?

He didn't know what the prince looked like, so how was he supposed to find him?
