Storm of Gods

Chapter 31: Serving as a Chatter Partner for Miss Aries
This sucker is completely different from the licker mentioned earlier. From a safety perspective, it's best to kill this kind of monster as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it's really hard to find, and it leaves no trace after committing the crime, which means that even ordinary night patrols with special abilities have been unable to effectively track it down.

No wonder I haven't heard from Uncle Bian lately. It seems that the job of a high-ranking official is not suitable for his personality. Now I have a reason. With Luo Jin's personality, he must be sticking with the night patrol. Besides, he's committed to such a serious case. After so many years, he must have developed some obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Casey, a rich and beautiful woman who only has eyes for Luo Jin, doesn't know much about the case, but Luo Jin would know the possible sources of the users. As a Night Patrolman who monitors Awakened Ones, he would definitely screen them.

The methods and extent of screening are beyond our control. In addition, the cases may have originated from other places. Such cases will face various problems when they are actually handled. I imagine the other members of the night patrol are all busy.

Li Xin became a nobody. Luo Jin didn't look for him, meaning he hoped Li Xin would stay in the Academy and do what he was supposed to do.

When I got home, Aunt Fei was quietly waiting in the living room, resting her chin on her hand. Under the lamplight, Aunt Fei exuded mature charm. Even sitting, her demeanor was so beautiful and graceful. After returning to the city, Aunt Fei's former shrewishness was gradually disappearing, and she was returning to her former self.

The environment is important to everyone.

Lin Fei's expression relaxed when she saw Li Xin return, and she stood up.

"Ah Xin, I don't know if leaving the dungeon is a good choice," Lin Fei said with a soft sigh.

Li Xin laughed, "Aunt Fei, it must be a good thing. Don't overthink it. If the sky falls, there's someone strong to hold it up. I'm not one to be reckless. Besides, we've been through so many years, it's not like this just happened today. Lao Luo is still very capable, he can't be defeated."

Lin Fei hesitated, then thought it made sense; it was all the same no matter where she was.

"Are you getting used to the Order Academy? Are your classmates easy to get along with?" Lin Fei felt much better when she mentioned the Order Academy, but she was worried that Li Xin would be discriminated against.

Why does Li Xin feel that Aunt Fei exudes charm whenever he's in a good mood?

"Haha, they're all good people, and very interesting," Li Xin laughed, then told Lin Fei about Marshal Lu, Hurta, and Roland. "Little Hurta is as strong as an ox and very cheerful, Marshal Lu is very talkative and enthusiastic, and Roland is truly handsome, he's got all the senior sisters in the Academy in a daze."

Lin Fei clearly had no interest in this little brat. "Lu Shuai wasn't bragging. His family is indeed related to Grand Consul Luther. It's just that the Grand Consul is very careful to keep his relatives in check. Relationships are just a stepping stone. If you want a title and status, you still have to fight for it yourself. Just get used to it and get some rest."

Relaxed and in a good mood, Lin Fei stretched her back, which had been sitting for a long time, and went upstairs to sleep.

……

Did you twist it? Or not?
It must be my eyes playing tricks on me. How can there be afterimages? Is this magic?

Li Xin felt that he had been acting like a restless teenager lately.

On Saturday, Li Xin and Aunt Fei spent the whole day playing with Xiao Xueyin. The little girl returned to the innocence and liveliness that should be present at her age. This was the first time she had played so freely and unrestrainedly. Li Xin's legs were almost broken, and he only managed to keep going by calling out "brother" repeatedly. Lin Fei and Xueyin were still not satisfied. At this moment, Li Xin felt that they were the awakened ones and he was just a useless person.

As soon as Li Xin got home, he hummed comfortably as soon as he touched the bed, and fell fast asleep within seconds. He didn't know when, but while he was sleeping, he heard a strange sound and felt something hitting his dice.

Thump thump... thump thump thump... thump thump...

With a blurry tug at his consciousness, Li Xin sat down once again in the seat of the zodiac constellation, this time with Miss Aries looking surprised beside him at the round table.

Li Xin looked around and only found Miss Aries. "Hasn't the others arrived yet?" "Mr. Gemini, I'm so sorry, I accidentally touched your star and pulled you in here." Miss Aries quickly apologized.

Li Xin...

"Is this your divine relic?" Li Xin asked. Aries was the first to arrive here; the others were all later arrivals. Only she knew the true situation.

Miss Aries quickly waved her hand, "No, in the process of understanding the divine relic, I discovered that I could sense the existence here, so I tried to see if I could come here on my own. Today is the first time I've succeeded."

"What's wrong with me?"

Miss Aries pointed to the stars in the sky, "I tried to sense the stars, and I didn't expect Mr. Gemini to be able to respond..."

After saying that, she looked at Li Xin curiously and asked, "Mr. Gemini, have I made another new discovery?"

Li Xin didn't know what to say; from his perception, Aries didn't seem to be lying.

“Miss Aries was the first to arrive, so she must have had a different opportunity than us. If we can find a controllable method, we can have regular exchanges in the future, so that the roundtable meeting won’t disband because we can’t contact anyone,” Li Xin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Gemini!" Miss Aries said softly. To be honest, she felt that her reason was a bit far-fetched, but she didn't expect Mr. Gemini to be so easy to talk to.

"what?"

"I'm sorry to have bothered you while you were resting. Also, thank you for trusting me." Aries' voice was filled with remorse; she shouldn't have bothered others because of her curiosity.

Li Xin laughed, "This is nothing, you're too kind. Besides, I'm quite interested in this astrological chart. I'm actually starting to feel like I'm online."

"Online friend?" Aries asked curiously.

“Ahem, it’s my hometown dialect, it means pen pal. But with the astrological compass, our communication is more convenient than letters because we’ve never actually met, which adds a touch of mystery and anticipation,” Li Xin said. “Distance makes the heart grow fonder.”

“Distance makes the heart grow fonder, Mr. Gemini is so right,” Ms. Aries said excitedly. “I thought I was the only one like this. I’m sorry, I don’t have many friends. Usually, only Chris and Claire are with me, and Chris is not around recently.”

"You don't have to have a lot of friends; it's enough to have someone you can chat with."

“Chris and Claire can’t speak,” Miss Aries said. “They are a proud eagle and a cute cat, and because of the divine relic, they are very intelligent.”

?

Li Xin's lips curled into a smirk. He had gained a general understanding of divine relics from Luo Jin. They were very precious. Even the less valuable divine relics were controlled by top-tier forces. Luo Jin, despite his level of expertise, did not possess any, and would not even be chosen by them.

He knew that Miss Aries must be well-off, but keeping two pets with divine relics—what kind of family was that?
"Could animals also possess divine relics? Won't they get out of control?" Among the people around him, the highest-ranking was Luo Jin. Luo Jin was extremely cautious about divine relics. Under what circumstances would he dare to keep a pet with a divine relic?
