Chapter 77: Objectives

Mr. Ji Bai are you heading out?

Mhm. I reckon I wont be back until dinner time. Answered Ji Bai after estimating.

But your internal injuries

As he had overused his Divine Vein yesterday his bodily functions had prematurely degraded into how they were when his disease erupted causing a series of embarrassing situations.

This caused Keer to firmly believe that Ji Bai had suffered some internal injuries while battling against the demons to save her. No matter how Ji Bai tried to explain- even combining the four Wuxia and Xuanhuan masterpieces1 into one book- Keer still continued to have a skeptical look on her face.

I never wouldve thought that this girl could be this tough to deceive!

Well you can be at ease. This body of mine is still tough. Staying at home all this while is making mold grow on it; Its time for me to go out and take a stroll. Whats more Im not going out alone anyway. Your sister Lin will drag me back if anything happens. Ji Bai rubbed Keers head with his hand.

Nyaa nyaa~ Keer narrowed her eyes in a comfortable manner and puerilely mewed twice.

The soft and supple touch of her fur felt like high-grade fabric making Ji Bai somewhat reluctant to part with it. As he moved his hand all the way down her cherry-colored long hair he touched her

Nyaa nyaa nyaa~?! M-Mr. Ji Bai That place is a no-no The pitch of Keers mews had changed. As her face blushed red from embarrassment she looked at Ji Bais dirty hand with conflicted and anxious eyes.

Ehh I-Im sorry. I was a bit distracted just now. It was only then that Ji Bai who had awoken from his stupor realized the type of dangerous act he was committing. He immediately took back the hand that had committed the act.

Mr. Ji Bai. This type of thing Is not permitted! I am still too young for that! Keer had seemingly taken quite an offense as her cheeks were completely puffed up right now.

Im sorry. Its my fault Ji Bai awkwardly scratched his head.

I was petting the kitten and my hand casually slipped downwards and touched somewhere instead. I almost forgot I cant go too overboard with this Kitten. This must never happen again! Otherwise Ill definitely be arrested and sent to a prison cell or an execution ground!

Only after instructing Keer on some trivial matters could Ji Bai assuredly change into his school uniform. Under Lil Shas meaning gaze which suggested that he should quickly leave and not interrupt the two of them he walked out of the door.

He then loosened his collar allowing his neck to be at ease.

Although the school uniform wasnt cozy at least it fitted. The material was countless times better than the clothes he had bought off the street vendor so there was nothing he could be picky about.

Walking out of the door to his dormitory he nodded and motioned to Lin who was waiting for him outside.

As they left the campus Lin walked ahead while Ji Bai tailed behind. The two behaved like a pair of strangers with both refusing to talk to the other.

Are your injuries alright? Lin suddenly opened her mouth while walking ahead.

Hmm? At that moment Ji Bai actually thought he was hallucinating.

Are you referring to me? Can I interpret that as you showing your concern for me? Ji Bai pointed at himself. He was amused.

Mr. Cockroach sure loves to flatter himself. I just dont wish to be burdened with the task of carrying you while were on the way back. Lin said indifferently.

Wouldnt everything be fine if you dont carry me then? I am not feeble to the point where someone needs to help me up.

The two of them turned silent. With each of them entertaining the thoughts in their mind they walked on the streets one behind the other.

Ol Zhang are you aware of that incident two days ago?

Of course I do! A big incident like demons attacking a city is something that everyone in the city knows about without a doubt! Speaking of which has anything happened to your family? This incident had stirred up quite a big impact everywhere.

No no. Fortunately my family lives in the center of the city and theres quite a distance from the site of the incident. I really didnt dare imagine it Even the demon-sealing barrier is unable to stop the demons from attacking the city? If thats the case where else in the world is it safe??

Ol Bright your information is outdated! According to the latest news from the official sources the reason behind it was because the frontline knights that were protecting the city had defected their posts. One of their leaders had wanted to collaborate with the enemy and spark a rebellion. Colluding with the Night Knights that were hidden in the city walls they had released the demons into the city and had narrowly created a large disaster. Thanks to the perceptive vigilance from one of the Chivalric Order of Radiant Knights branches they were able to obtain some clues and dispatched the army to the frontline on time. This is how they managed to capture the demons that were attacking the city and the traitorous knights in one go!

What?? So this is what actually happened?

Of course. Now that the truth is out everyone from the border town all the way down to the entire human federation knows about it! Said Ol Zhang.

To actually betray humans and open the city gates for the demons Isnt this too nasty?! What sort of benefits had those demons promised those guys for them to give their lives to an outsider!? Said Ol Bright in an indignant manner.

Tch! What do you think? The frontline knights arent part of the official knights establishment. The only people that were willing to enlist were those paupers that had miserable lives. These dregs of society who have never received higher education in their lives would be moved as long as any benefit passed by them. It isnt strange that theyre capable of doing anything As a matter of fact all of the frontline knights had already been arrested and brought to justice. They are currently all tied up at the city center in Huaxi plaza and are being shown to the public for a day. When tomorrow comes theyll be put on trial in front of the public and beheaded.

Serves them right! This bunch of free-loading backstabbers! They took the money of us humans yet had done nothing decent at all! Theyre truly a bunch of uncultured beggars! Even giving them death by a thousand cuts is letting them off too easy!

Hey! Do you want to go and see the commotion tomorrow?? We can see how that bunch of scoundrels die hahaha!

With his hands in his pocket Ji Bai stood still. He had heard the passerbys conversation without missing a single word.

He then glanced ahead of him at Lin. She had stopped at some point and was fiddling with her phone while leaning against the wall.

Parasite. The road towards the food market doesnt seem to be this way does it? Dont tell me that you want to go to the city center to buy a couple of battery-powered cars?? Ji Bai pointed at the two words on a signpost which clearly read City Center.

Let me guess. That c*nt Lin Tuo hadnt asked us to do some purchases at all did he? You just merely wanted me to come outside am I right?

Lin raised her head and looked at Ji Bai in a calm manner. She neither affirmed nor denied his questions.

Its very unfitting of your personality to buy vegetables without bringing a food basket You didnt need to go through such a big loop if this is what you wanted to tell me. Ji Bai shot a glance at the passersby.

But Ill still have to give you my appreciation for showing me all this despite my hate for vampires I will be going ahead.

Lin quietly looked at the silhouette of Ji Bais back for a brief moment turned around and headed into the opposite direction.
