Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 Mutual Rescue

Shen Muyu seemed to have said everything and yet also said nothing, but Da Bai understood. It jumped into the back of the car and closed the door on its own.

After doing all that, it raised its eyebrows smugly and looked at the big yellow dog. Hmph, it can do such a small thing too!

This time, however, it clearly met with a snub. The big yellow dog didn't even give it a second glance and just lay there motionless.

Big White's momentum vanished in that instant, and it lay down and remained motionless.

During the journey, Shen Muyu felt a strange itch that kept creeping around her. She thought it was caused by the wounds from the insects, so she scratched her neck intentionally or unintentionally.

But scratching not only didn't help, it actually made it itchier, as if the itching was coming from deep within my bones.

"Young lady, are you thinking of changing careers? There's no future in being a ride-hailing driver." Just as Shen Muyu was feeling restless, the old woman suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? Hehe." Shen Muyu didn't react for a moment because she wasn't paying attention, but then she smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

"Why don't you come and work with me? Your delicate little hands may not be very strong, but some people like that." The old woman seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, trying to persuade Shen Muyu to join her in the massage industry.

Although Shen Muyu felt helpless, she smiled and offered some response, but she didn't say a word.

As time passed, the itching sensation on Shen Muyu's body gradually made her feel comfortable from the inside out, and the old woman's words next to her seemed to be a lullaby, confusing her senses.

Slowly, Shen Muyu's eyes began to lose focus, and a familiar red color began to spread in his pupils. His foot on the accelerator unconsciously relaxed, and the car could only idle at this point.

Fortunately, it's an automatic car; otherwise, it would probably have stalled because the gears and speeds didn't match.

The big white dog behind it was just lying on the ground like the big yellow dog, but as the old woman's words influenced it, it began to nod its head repeatedly, completely oblivious to the strange things around it.

Little A did notice it, but the electronic voice she made seemed to sink without a trace; neither she nor her dog heard it.

The old woman in the front row slowly opened her eyes, her eyes, with only the whites showing, staring unblinkingly at Shen Muyu beside her, a strange smile appearing on her lips.

The old woman slowly leaned closer to Shen Muyu, inhaling her scent repeatedly.

A hint of reluctance flashed in the eyes of the big yellow dog in the back row, and then it nudged the big white dog almost imperceptibly.

It was just a slight touch, but Big White seemed to be jolted awake and instantly snapped out of his previous state.

Da Bai realized something was wrong and immediately jumped up, shouting at the old woman who was almost touching Shen Muyu.

Shen Muyu was immediately awakened by the sound. The old woman retreated unwillingly after her plan failed, but this time she did not close her eyes. Instead, she stared intently at the big yellow dog in the back of the car.

"Come here!" A hoarse but angry voice rang out, and the big yellow dog trembled and immediately stood up.

The big yellow dog was trembling uncontrollably, but it still grabbed its leash and ran towards the old woman.

Shen Muyu was a little dazed, but the situation was obviously not right. While keeping an eye on the actions around her, she stepped on the gas and accelerated. She didn't want to exceed the time limit again.

The old woman took the leash from the big yellow dog and placed it on the back of the seat. Then she pulled hard and the big yellow dog was hung behind the seat.

The big yellow dog barked in fear, but it really quieted down when the old woman told it to shut up. It didn't even dare to struggle, only unconsciously kicking its four legs slightly.

Shen Muyu frowned upon seeing this scene, while Da Bai barked at the old woman again.

"You ruined my plans..." The old woman ignored Da Bai's actions and just kept muttering to herself.

Seeing that the big yellow dog's tongue was sticking out, Da Bai turned and barked at Shen Muyu, as if asking her to save the big yellow dog.

Shen Muyu gripped the steering wheel tightly. Judging from the old woman's tone and Da Bai's barking, she guessed that the big yellow dog must have done something to save her, but should she really break the rules to save her?

With a hiss, Shen Muyu stopped the car in the middle of the road. The old woman looked at Shen Muyu with some surprise, but then her surprise turned into joy.

"You want to save it?" A hint of red appeared in the old woman's eyes, which were only white. Shen Muyu had broken the rules, so now she could take her away without any burden.

The old woman loosened the leash, and the big yellow dog fell to the ground, lying there listlessly with its eyes vacant.

Big White was clearly too preoccupied to care about it at that moment, its body tense as it faced the old woman.

In an instant, the old woman could no longer wait, and the whites of her eyes turned completely red. Shen Muyu was instantly energized by just one glance and was plunged into a red city.

Just as the old woman made her move, Da Bai also moved, pouncing directly on the old woman. Then, the two of them fell into a strange state.

As soon as the old woman's skill failed, Shen Muyu woke up. She looked at Big White and started the car. At this moment, the insects that had gathered on the car began to disappear.

The insect itself seemed to have some kind of corrosive properties. When Shen Muyu dropped the wild boar off the vehicle, he noticed that the surface of the vehicle had become pitted and uneven, and even the tires were not spared. Fortunately, there was no tire blowout in the middle of the journey, otherwise Shen Muyu might have been finished.

Even after arriving at their destination, Da Bai hadn't recovered from that state, and neither had the old woman. Shen Muyu had no choice but to first lift the big yellow dog, which was curled up in a ball, out of the car, and then open the passenger door to separate the person and the dog.

The moment they separated, Da Bai regained consciousness, but the old woman still didn't react. Shen Muyu pulled her to the ground and drove away.

Shen Muyu glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that the big yellow dog sniffed the old woman before running away on its own. Now was the perfect time to run away.

"It wasn't a wasted effort to save him," Shen Muyu muttered to herself. That was all she could do; she certainly wouldn't dare bring a strange dog with her.

"Congratulations on completing your order. However, we have detected that the driver violated traffic regulations. A portion of the fee will be deducted. We are currently settling your order fee."

Shen Muyu looked at the 100 yuan in her hand and muttered under her breath. All she did was park her car, what did she do to deserve this?
