“I’ve come to keep an eye on you.”
Lin Lingling picked up her drink and took a sip. Her words were full of authority, but her expression remained calm, though her voice trembled slightly.
The sofa was three meters long.
Ba Ji sat at the far left, Lin Lingling at the far right, with what seemed like a river separating them.
Chen Huaian watched this scene and his lips twitched: “Three Zeroes, are you scared of cats?”
Lin Lingling glanced at Ba Ji and swallowed hard: “Yes.”
“Shouldn’t girls like kittens and puppies?” Chen Huaian was quite surprised.
He reached out and patted Ba Ji’s cat head twice. Ba Ji wasn’t ugly, so he thought Ba Ji would be very popular with girls. Moreover, seeing Ba Ji trembling in fear, it was clear that Ba Ji was also afraid of this unfamiliar girl named Three Zeroes.
Ah, wasn’t this a kind of mutual attraction?
Lin Lingling lowered her head and didn’t dare to speak.
She wasn’t afraid of cats, but only if they were just pure cats!
When she came, Wuzzy Beard had already told her. If judged solely by talisman power, Chen Huaian could be classified as at least a Bing-level Resurrector, but considering the harsh cost of obtaining the talismans, his final classification was Jia-level Master.
For someone at her Bai level, a Jia-level Master was definitely a big shot!
And in the eyes of such a big shot, was the cat demon just a little kitten?
It was no wonder that the pet of a big shot was unique.
Chen Huaian sat between Ba Ji and Lin Lingling.
Once their line of sight was separated, he clearly felt both creatures relax. The previously heavy atmosphere seemed to become much lighter.
“You said you’ve come to monitor me?”
“Yes,” Lin Lingling replied straightforwardly, “Actually, monitoring is secondary. You’re very important to the Demon-Slaying Division. Also, considering the potentially dangerous power of your talismans, we need an official member of the Demon-Slaying Division to keep an eye on things… Of course, mainly to provide you with all sorts of conveniences. For example, if you have any needs related to the Demon-Slaying Division, you can tell me, and I’ll help you.”
“What if I don’t cooperate with your monitoring?” Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes.
Lin Lingling turned her head and looked at Chen Huaian. She pulled her short legs back from the air and sat cross-legged.
Then she turned her body, knelt down, placed her hands stacked on her forehead, took a deep breath, bent over…
She directly kowtowed to Chen Huaian!
“Please let me monitor you.”
Chen Huaian: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then inexplicably asked, “Do you get paid for monitoring me?”
“Yes.”
“How much?”
“One thousand per day.”
“We split it fifty-fifty.”
“Alright.”
Chen Huaian extended his right hand and smiled kindly, “Welcome to monitor.”
Lin Lingling held onto Chen Huaian’s fingers and shook them up and down seriously, “Please give me guidance in the future!”
Ba Ji: “…”
“By the way, since I’m going to monitor you, I need to live closer to you… But all the apartments next door, upstairs, and downstairs are already occupied.” Lin Lingling blushed slightly and whispered, “From now on, you’re my brother, and I’m your real sister. This is our public identity. Since I’m still in school, if we have the chance to go on missions together, it will help conceal our identities as Resurrectors.”
“Okay.” Chen Huaian pointed to the master bedroom, “You can stay there. It has its own bathroom. Don’t use the outside toilet, I like sleeping naked.”
Lin Lingling: “…”
“By the way, call me ‘Onii-chan’ and let me hear it?”
Lin Lingling: “???”
Her face stiffened, her mouth twitched twice, hesitated for a while, and under the pressure of the big shot, finally managed to squeeze out an ‘O’. Chen Huaian hadn’t even heard the last two words when she already dragged her suitcase into the master bedroom and slammed the door shut with a ‘bang’.
Ba Ji was stunned.
The big shot actually allowed this human child who knew its true identity to move in?!
Wouldn’t that increase the risk of exposure before the big shot’s memory recovers?
At this moment, it only felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation, like being entwined by a python.
Chen Huaian looked at the closed door and pondered for a while.
Although he didn’t like being monitored, everything has two sides.
With Three Zeroes here, it would be convenient for him to inquire about the details of tasks assigned by the Demon-Slaying Division.
He could ask Wuzzy Beard too, but Wuzzy Beard was part of the leadership of the Demon-Slaying Division, so some things might not be disclosed to him.
But someone like Three Zeroes, a junior member, would be easier to handle.
The Demon-Slaying Division was observing him, but wasn’t he also observing the Demon-Slaying Division?
After all, it was a place to make money, and he needed to understand it thoroughly.
“Hey, Three Zeroes!” He knocked on the master bedroom door.
The door crack immediately opened, revealing an eye peering out.
“After dinner, I want to take on a task to kill demons and earn money. Can you help?”
A flicker of surprise appeared in Lin Lingling’s eyes.
Wuzzy Beard hoped Chen Huaan would voluntarily take on tasks, because only by doing so could he maintain frequent contact with the Demon-Slaying Division, help solve some accumulated tasks, and suppress the rampant trend of demons in the Heavenly Abode District. She originally thought persuading Chen Huaan to take on tasks would be difficult, but unexpectedly, Chen Huaan proposed such a request himself.
That’s right, people who just learned they were Resurrectors usually wanted to try out their abilities.
However, after witnessing the terror of demons, that enthusiasm often turned into fear.
“No problem, the tasks refresh at nine o’clock tonight. We’ll check them out then; the intelligence on new tasks is always fresh.”
“How do you mean? Isn’t the intelligence from your Demon-Slaying Division often outdated?” A trace of suspicion appeared in Chen Huaian’s eyes.
Lin Lingling realized she had spoken out of turn, so she averted her gaze, partially closing the door, and chuckled awkwardly, “Haha, ahahaha, how could that be? Our Demon-Slaying Division updates intelligence in real time. There’s absolutely no situation where incorrect intelligence leads to danger for members!”
Wuzzy Beard had said not to expose the flaws of the Demon-Slaying Division. The flaws were temporary, and things would get better in the future.
If Chen Huaian found out, she would lose her salary.
“Then why are you covered in blood?”
“The tender mother’s fault, it’s definitely due to… ”
Before finishing her sentence, Lin Lingling paused, seemingly realizing something, and hastily covered her mouth.
Bang!
Chen Huaian looked at the tightly closed door and suddenly understood.
The Demon-Slaying Division was understaffed, to the point that intelligence couldn’t be updated in time.
This made the Demon-Slaying Division even less desirable to join. Being an external staff member earning rewards was enough.
After all, his current goal was to survive, and he couldn’t take big risks.
…
Behind the door.
Lin Lingling leaned against the door, feeling utterly exhausted. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the angrier she got, the more frustrated she became. She slapped herself on the cheek, not daring to hit too hard, and muttered dejectedly, “Lin Lingling, you’re really three eggs! You’re really stupid, truly!”
…
Spirit Intuition Valley.
“Master, two disciples from the Sword Pavilion will come tomorrow. The invitation has already been sent ahead.”
“Hmm? Sword Pavilion?” Inside the silk canopy, Yun Suxin opened her beautiful eyes after meditating and looked at the disciple of Spirit Intuition Valley outside the tent: “Did they explain their purpose?”
“Reporting to the Master, they want to buy some spiritual herbs.”
Spirit Intuition Valley had ten thousand acres of spiritual fields and was a major producer of various spiritual herbs in the Cangyun Realm.
Many sects or solitary cultivators would purchase spiritual herbs from Spirit Intuition Valley.
Not only were the prices cheaper than outside, but the quality was also guaranteed. Spirit Intuition Valley welcomed all kinds of business.
But uniquely, the Sword Pavilion was questionable.
“Fine, let them come.”
Yun Suxin’s lips curved into a mocking smile.
Good job, Sword Pavilion, she hadn’t settled the score for the previous incident involving Spirit Intuition Valley, and now they were delivering themselves right to her doorstep.
She, Yun Suxin, had never seen anyone so self-aware.
Naturally, she would give them a proper welcome!
