Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 78 Who made her angry again?
"Let me introduce you. This is Holy Spirit Heart, the military commander of Exorcism City. He is also the deputy commander of the Exorcism Military Region and the youngest King-level assassin in the Holy Alliance."

Bai Xi immediately knew who Holy Spirit Heart was from that identity and that name.

This is Saint Cheryl's heartless father!

Bai Xi lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the irritation in her heart.

Another beautiful woman in blue, Saint Cher, bears a slight resemblance to her.

Gao Yingjie introduced her as follows:

"This is Grand Mage Lan Yanyu, the leader of the Exorcist City's magic corps and the head of the Exorcist City branch of the Magic Temple."

While Gao Yingjie was making his introduction, Lan Yanyu was lost in thought, her gaze sweeping over the 60 people below, clearly looking for something very important.
It was only after the Holy Spirit gently nudged her that she came to her senses.

She simply nodded to the crowd below the stage without saying anything, but the direction in which she gazed remained unchanged.

It was aimed directly at Sheng Cai'er behind Bai Xi.

"So these must be Cai'er's parents. But looking at her mother, she clearly loves Cai'er very much. How could she have been so cruel back then?"

"They are truly selfless people, willing to sacrifice their own families for the greater good."

"Unfortunately, I can't do that. All I want in this life is to be a little selfish."

As the military commander of the exorcism mission, Holy Spirit spoke extensively and in great detail to these newcomers.

He appears to be a very competent leader and a soldier.

The meeting ended quickly, and Bai Xi and the other sixty people went to their respective military camps to report for duty.

The ten demon-hunting teams were divided into five groups, with each pair of groups under the leadership of the same infantry battalion. Bai Xi and Long Haochen's demon-hunting teams happened to be in the same infantry battalion.

Bai Xi walked very quickly, arm in arm with Sheng Cai'er, which showed how much Bai Xi held a grudge.

When they were assigned to their tents, Bai Xi said with some relief.

"It turns out that men and women live together here. Luckily, all six of us are women."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying'er became somewhat worried.

"But Xiaomo is the only girl on her side!"

Chen Ying'er Xiaomo is Bai Xiaomo, a summoner in Long Haochen's Demon Hunter Team, and the only female member.

"Their camp is right next door. Come on, let's get them."

Bai Xi also remembered Bai Xiaomo and felt that it was immoral to let a teenage girl live with a group of boys, so she immediately wanted to bring Bai Xiaomo over.

She felt that the military handled gender issues quite poorly.

It's one thing that men and women are living together, but the military uniforms delivered were only in men's sizes. They're way too big for the women.

There are plenty of women in the military camp, aren't there?
Why don't we pay attention to women's rights?
Ever since seeing the six men's military uniforms that were delivered, Bai Xi felt a nameless anger rising within her. She didn't care whether it was reasonable to let Bai Xiaomo stay there or not; she decided to let her stay first.

Bai Xi, Sheng Cai'er, and Chen Ying'er went to the next tent together, while Li Xin and the other two stayed behind to pack their things.

When the three of them arrived, Bai Xiaomo was also having a headache, wondering how she was going to sleep.

"Let her come and sleep with us. Our two tents are less than ten centimeters apart, so if anything happens, we can just shout loudly."

Bai Xi's suggestion solved their immediate problem, but Long Haochen still had some sense.

"Won't this be a problem? Is it okay to switch tents without permission?"

"It's okay. If anything happens, just blame it on me. This was originally my idea."

Long Haochen was still a little worried, but Bai Xi had already gestured to Chen Ying'er and pulled Bai Xiaomo away.

"Who made her angry this time?"

"Sister Xi has such a bad temper!"

Long Haochen and Lin Xin's voices rang out one after the other; both of them were the first to realize that Bai Xi was angry.

"Perhaps it's because the military camp only has men's uniforms?"

The observant Long Haochen thought of the military uniform that Bai Xiaomo had obtained and immediately understood why Bai Xi was angry.

He even shook his head with schadenfreude, "This is going to be good." But Bai Xi's tent next to him was very quiet.

Because they were busy altering their uniforms, only Li Xin and Wang Yuanyuan's uniforms barely fit. The uniforms of the others looked like children wearing adults' clothes—far too big. And oversized clothes would obviously restrict their movements.

"It's so annoying. I never thought that the first thing I would do when I came to the army would be to do needlework."

Bai Xi murmured a complaint as she threaded the needle.

"The Exorcism Gate has been around for more than a year or two, and it's not the first time female professionals have come here, really..."

"Xixi, don't be angry. There's only one set left, it'll be over soon."

Chen Ying'er comforted Bai Xi in a soft and gentle voice.

"Wait a minute, put this last one on me without altering it."

Bai Xi kept the last set of men's military uniform for herself.

If Long Haochen were here, he would immediately know that Bai Xi was up to something.

"Xixi, but this dress is the biggest one for you!"

"You actually said I'm short? How old am I? I just turned fourteen! I'm still growing, I'll grow taller!"

"But I'm smaller than you..."

Saint Cai'er delivered a fatal blow; although she was a few months younger than Bai Xi, she was significantly taller.

"Cai'er, you've turned bad! How dare you bully me?"

Bai Xi pointed at herself in disbelief, feigning anger.

"Alright! Let's see how I teach you a lesson, don't try to hide, Sheng Cai'er—"

Before she could finish speaking, a blue figure suddenly appeared between them, separating them from their playful antics.

With a wave of his magic wand, he was actually about to attack Bai Xi.

Bai Xi prepared her defenses.

Saint Cherrie shouted, "Stop!"

It overlapped with the angry voice of the newcomer.

"How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to bully my daughter!"

The person who came was actually Lan Yanyu, but she still withdrew her attack because she knew it was inappropriate for her to take action, considering their identities.

"My affairs are none of your business, please leave!"

Sheng Cai'er stretched out her arms, forcefully shielding Bai Xi behind her, her ever-present green bamboo staff pointing directly at Lan Yanyu.

"Cai'er, I'm your mother! How can you be so heartless to your mother?"

Lan Yanyu looked at Sheng Cai'er with hurt in her eyes, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes, staring at Sheng Cai'er without blinking.

"I don't have a mother, I'm an orphan."

Saint Cher's voice was incredibly cold, devoid of any emotion.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yanyu staggered back a step, almost losing her balance.

"Please leave here and never appear before me again."

Lan Yanyu's face was extremely pale, as if she could not bear the weight of those words.

Bai Xi also ignored her discomfort and only worried about Sheng Cai'er.
