Xiaobai's Love in Another World

Chapter 429 Unexpected

"This is your record against the demon-hunting team!"

Bai Lingshan paused for a moment as she picked up the steamed bun with her chopsticks. She had experienced it all firsthand, so why would she buy something like this?

Would you even buy this?

She was curious about the sales of this kind of message.

Meicun Guan nodded without hesitation: "Of course! On one side is the legendary holder of the Book of Featherfall, and on the other side is a renowned demon-hunting team, and it's only one star coin. What's the difference between this and giving it away? Let me tell you a secret, the residents of the Jing Kingdom are exceptionally fond of watching a good show. I bet this will sell out in no time!"

"..."

Thinking back to when they fought, there were only a few bystanders, and they were all unfamiliar faces. So who was it that reported their story to that newspaper?

Bai Lingshan pondered for a moment and said, "There were only a few people on the other side when we fought yesterday, why did the newspaper exaggerate it so much?"

Using exaggeration to generate buzz is acceptable, but have they considered the feelings of the people involved?

The fight happened just one night ago; if she could see it, those other people definitely could too.

"Does the Demon Hunting Group have any enemies?"

"Why do you ask about this?"

When he asked her that question, Bai Lingshan revealed what she was thinking.

Mimura, however, looked puzzled. "Some members of the Demon Hunting Team often kill demons indiscriminately, and they do have quite a few enemies in the demon realm, but..."

He suddenly looked at her, his eyes sharp: "I can't think about distant enemies when it comes to immediate matters. If I were a member of the Demon Hunting Group, I would only think that you did it!"

Bai Lingshan's mind went blank for a moment. She thought about it again. The fact that the two sides had just finished fighting and the news was already spreading everywhere made it hard not to associate it with this.

"Why is this happening?"

What if they really believe she did it?

After thinking for a while, I could only come up with four words.

"Human hearts are treacherous." Bai Lingshan sighed inwardly after swallowing the choking bun in her mouth. "Then, how long will this message last?"

Such unfavorable information about her can't just float around indefinitely, can it? There has to be some time before it's broadcast.

Mimura thought for a moment, her expression serious. "Usually, the heat will last for more than six crystal leaves, but don't worry, there haven't been any cases of it exceeding ten leaves yet, otherwise the red leaves would get angry. Hmm," Mimura nodded affirmatively, "That's right, that's how it is. Well then, you eat first, I'll go get busy."

"Okay, I'll take it back to you after you finish eating."

At most ten crystal leaves, that's ten hours, which can be finished before the spirit training ground ends in the afternoon.

That being said, he was also in the audience yesterday. Given his capable nature and penchant for causing trouble, it's highly unlikely that he was behind this.

However, she didn't really care.

If someone comes looking for trouble, she runs away first. Once she's inside the clock tower, no matter how powerful or capable they are, they can't do anything to her.

But if you encounter a situation like yesterday, where something important has been taken and you can't escape, you can only close your eyes and do it.

With Xing protecting her, what did she have to be afraid of?
After breakfast, it was another day of training at the spirit training ground. Because she had taken over Yu Hongye's task of delivering medicine yesterday, Yu Hongye was unhappy and gave her a new task—to deliver medicine to Gu Que for a week.

We started from the spirit training ground, went back to the clock tower, and then returned to Xiyi Village for dinner. This three-hour journey was all to help her remember not to be a good person when she grows up.

She watched as Gu finished drinking her medicine before stepping out of the golden birdcage-like house. But as soon as she took her first step, she was startled by the figure blocking her way.

There she was, Han Chenfeng, wearing a dark blue wool scarf and an extra-long, pure black down jacket, standing in front of her with his hands in his pockets, as if he were waiting for someone.

Since moving into the Clock Tower, she often bumped into people's "family matters" while walking with her head down, which caused her a lot of trouble. But seeing Han Chenfeng stopping people here was still a bit strange. After being stunned, Bai Lingshan ran up to him and asked, "Where have you been? Why are you dressed like that?"

His outfit today was quite different from his usual attire. Dressed like this, he looked more like an ordinary boy from their area.

"Is that so strange?" Han Chenfeng's tone was somewhat uncertain, even tinged with doubt.

Bai Lingshan quickly smiled and said, "It's not surprising, everyone dresses like this. What are you doing here? Weren't you not allowed to come here?"

She remembered that Han Chenfeng would not come to Jingguo. Suddenly, a thought struck her: Yu Hongye appeared in her search range. Yes, that was the only possibility.

"You're here to see Yu Hongye, right? But I don't know where he is now."

But as soon as he said that, Han Chenfeng's smooth brows furrowed again. "Why would I look for him? I don't even know him."

"Then you..." Bai Lingshan's lively thoughts suddenly stopped.

Han Chenfeng sighed and looked back at her helplessly: "Of course I'm standing in front of you to find you, and it's nothing unusual for me to come here occasionally."

"..."

Is that so?
As their eyes met, Bai Lingshan's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly realized, "You took back those talisman symbols first?"

But looking at Han Chenfeng's puzzled gaze, he racked his brains but couldn't think of any other reason.

Han Chenfeng was silent for a moment. Although he was annoyed for a moment, he quickly regained his composure and said, "No."

So he decided not to hide it anymore. He stretched out his right hand, turned his palm upward, and with a burst of black light, a household insulated box appeared.

"For you."

These three words were spoken with great solemnity; even when they were placed right in front of her, she still couldn't believe it.

"This is……"

"I brought you food, you haven't eaten it yet, have you?"

Bai Lingshan carefully took it and opened it.

It turned out to be the same dishes she often ate at home...

"These are what I asked Yinsha to get from your house. You've been living in Jingguo for the past two months, you must be homesick."

Han Chenfeng explained slowly, and she gently closed the insulated box.

But how did he know he hadn't eaten yet, and why did he have Yin Sha go to her house to ask for some? Bai Lingshan's eyes widened in shock: "You told Yin Sha I was here?"

Han Chenfeng didn't hide anything: "It wasn't me who said it, she already guessed it. She even asked me to pass on a message for her, although..."

"Although what?" Bai Lingshan asked weakly when she saw him hesitate.

"It's nothing," Han Chenfeng said, taking a breath with a strange expression. "The gist of it is that you lied to her and told her that when you got back, you would carry her to the supermarket."

Thinking back to that time, when Yin Sha made him say the exact words and expression perfectly in an extremely angry way, he felt very embarrassed, so he did his best.

"..." Bai Lingshan also fell silent. Even without his imitation, she could imagine Yin Sha trying to strip her bare.

"You said the other day that Mirror Shadow used to belong to Yu Hongye?" Han Chenfeng suddenly asked.

Bai Lingshan was taken aback. Why was he asking about this again?

"Yes, what's wrong?"
