The teenage girl finished looking for something to cover her naked body. Instead of proper clothes, what she wore was a piece of plain cloth to cover the body.

She arrived in front of Niu Chang.

When looking for clothes, she naturally has the idea to run away. But she also wanted to learn more about Niu Chang.

“May I sit?”

Niu Chang only gave her a nod.

She sat beside Niu Chang but drew a distance between them. She was afraid of dirtying Niu Chang.

“Um… how do I address you? S-savior.” The teenage girl didn’t know how to properly address Niu Chang and choose the best one after much consideration.

‘If not savior what else should I call him? Sir? I don’t want to offend him since he looks young.’

“Up to you.”

“Okay, Savior. I thought that you are better than anyone I see in my life. It’s hard for me to grasp it and turn it into words, but I just want to say that you seem more human to me.”

“You are free. You didn’t have any burden on your mind.”

“Although you are strong- ah sorry I don’t mean saying that-”

“No problem, just continue.”

“Yes, Savior. You are not like the bandits who are strong but evil. They become evil because they are strong. But you are different, Senior, your confidence is not in your strength. You are also kind and… cold.”

The teenage girl lowered her voice at the end. She already thought about it, which is the main reason that Niu Chang felt different from anyone she saw in her life.

It was his uncaring and willful character.

He didn’t care about anything and anyone, he did what he wanted, killing without any hesitation and also kind and compassionate to enjoy himself.

‘This savior didn’t differentiate good and bad, for him all of these were only superficial. Only his will is the truth.’

When thinking of this, the teenage girl couldn’t help but steal a glance at Niu Chang’s side profile.

Her heart was unknowingly beating faster. The colorless skin on her face slowly turned red.

It was pure admiration. Close enough to be called worshiping.

She then turned down her gaze in guilt and shame. No longer dare to look up at Niu Chang directly.

“Are you done?”

Niu Chang turned his head, he saw that the development was not to what he intended it to be.

What he wanted was someone who rebelled against the world together with him, the same species as him, but now. ‘This girl suffered a great mental blow that her mind went haywire.’

‘Talking more with her only leads to unpredictable outcomes that I don’t have any interest in. Sigh, humans are really interesting!’

Niu Chang smiled and said. “Since you said so, do you want to become like me?”

“No- no, I don’t dare to be like you savior.” The teenage girl shook her head and waved her hands. Didn’t dare to compare herself with Niu Chang.

“Then what do you want to do now?”

“I… I don’t know.” She said truthfully, she no longer has intention to live a dull and painful life, it will be better for her to end her life at the hand of Niu Chang, who she admired the most.

“Since you don’t know, what about following my advice?”

The teenage girl’ eyes brightened up. She nodded hurriedly like a chicken.

“Go in search of strength. Only by having strength can you see this world in a better position. Walking among rivers and mountains, unhindered by others and following your own will. When you become stronger than anyone else and you no longer have direction to go, you can come to find me. Until that time comes, do not be limited by anything, unrestricted by moral and norm, you can discard anything for attaining greater power. Money, friends, even your humanity will not be out of the question.”

“Do you understand?”

Niu Chang looked deeply into her eyes, his smile contained more sincerity.

His eyes were like a deep well that pulled her consciousness in.

Mesmerized by the advice, Niu Chang's image grew bigger in her heart. Something small started to germinate in the deepest part of her heart.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

Unconsciously, she no longer has fear toward Niu Chang, she replied in great confidence. “Yes!”

The boring look in her face was no longer there, replaced with a new ambition and determination.

Niu Chang was still calm on the surface, but he couldn’t help but feel weird for this teenage girl. The expression she made looks like some cult follower after having her brain washed by some shady ideology, not the unafraid of anything but still maintaining its rationality that Niu Chang was looking for.

‘The only problem was that her motive is impure.’

‘Will this be okay? Did I just create something like a hidden boss for myself? Or maybe some crazy and powerful zealot follower?’

‘No it’s okay. I have my system, no matter how strong she becomes in the future. I will not be dominated by her, not by a chance!’

“Okay, I will give you something to help you begin your own path.” Niu Chang nodded with his kind smile.

‘But it doesn’t sound too bad, I mean having something fun in this long journey to supremacy is inevitable.’

Niu Chang didn’t have many things on him right now, only a few coins and that’s all.

But thankfully, he just finished this bandit hideout subjugation. There should be some money the bandit hid in this place and maybe some low level martial arts.

“Do you know where the bandits hide their wealth?” Niu Chang asked.

The teenage girl was still feeling dreamy as to what just happened and felt discomfort in her heart. But she chose to suppress it for now, and answered Niu Chang's question.

“Reporting to savior, I don’t know where the bandit hide their wealth, but maybe you can start from the previous place.”

Niu Chang nodded and started walking towards their previous location.

When arrived, he entered the house and started to look carefully. It was too dark inside there.

Niu Chang chose to make some holes on the wall to let the light enter the room.

Bam bam.

His fist strengthened with qi and easily went through the wall.

Beams of light lightened the room and the view became clearer.

With the help of light, Niu Chang continued to search the whole place and used force if necessary.

He found the hidden treasury of the bandit. Gold, silver, some precious jewelry and many miscellaneous items.

He browsed through them one by one so as to not miss any suspicious item.

Now when he thought about it, if he chose to look for his sister and activated his system early on. His encounter with the bandit would be inevitable.

At that time with the help of the system he would have a mixture of bad and good time, the bad time naturally when he was cornered and the good time when he made a sudden comeback thanks to the system and saved his sister then raided the treasury.

As the first event in his journey, naturally he would find some beginner packs from the bandit treasury.

It could vary from something with immediate use or something he would carry for the whole journey.

After a long time browsing, he couldn’t find anything suspicious from the treasury.

The martial arts that the bandit practiced were registered by Niu Chang but after asking the system for their value, it didn’t cost too much to cultivate them into third rate.

As for the last assurance, Niu Chang used his qi to increase his perception which was amateurish since he never did it before.

With limited effect, he chose to give up and start to bulldoze anything he found suspicious.

Bam bam.

On the outside of the house, the teenage girl still felt discomfort in her heart due to her determination to follow Niu Chang’s advice, seeking strength.

“The savior told me to seek strength and not limit myself with anything, everything can be discarded. I know what it means, but I can’t imagine how far I can go.”

Feeling confrontation in her heart, she was confused and wanted to ask for advice from Niu Chang. As an ordinary village girl with limited education, Niu Chang’s advice was too grand and confronting to her worldview.

“Should I ask the savior about this? But, what if he hates me because of this? But, the savior is a good person, he shouldn't be bothered if I ask this question, right?”

Not long after, she saw Niu Chang walking towards her with a big sack on his hand.

Still not daring to look at Niu Chang directly, she turned down his gaze. She gathered her strength to ask some questions.

Niu Chang who was confused at his failure deduction still thinking where his deduction went wrong. ‘It’s impossible for me to not find something useful in this place.’

“Savior…”

Looking at Niu Chang deep in his own thoughts, the teenage girl didn’t dare to speak loudly and sounded like a mosquito buzzing.

Niu Chang suddenly woke up from his thinking thanks to the small voice, he looked at the pitiful teenage girl in front of him. A ridiculous thought rose in his mind.

‘No way. Is she the main reward of this bandit hideout?’

Then Niu Chang replayed his encounter with this girl from the start to the present.

An appearance that was slightly above average even when in a battered and worn out state. Even so, Niu Chang could see her beauty in one glance.

Looking at the teenage girl in front of him, Niu Chang tried to restore her normal appearance. With his powerful brain power and large fantasy female character databases from his first life. Niu Chang tried his best to picture the peak condition of the teenage girl.

Delicate face with sharp line and curve like the fairy from painting, big watery eyes accompanied by long and phoenix brows, delicate nose, natural and subtle lips. The hair fell down freely like a waterfall, the bosom was healthy and full of vitality, the hip was small and looked fragile with ample butts, the legs were long and slender.

‘She is the one!’

What was the main characteristic of a major character? It was easily spotted by their appearance alone.

But sadly this good seed was already soiled because Niu Chang was not the true main character. If only he chose to be more boring and hot blooded, he would awaken the system, save his sister, kill the bandits and save this teenage girl.

The story would be more wish fulfillment and self satisfactory for the main character and the reader.

Then this girl will follow Niu Chang back and slowly deepen their bond.

But sadly, there were no ifs in this world and Niu Chang was not suitable for any main character formats.
