Chapter 229: May Good People Enjoy Peaceful Lives

Dundun gave up after dialing seven or eight times in a row.

It suspected that the broken phone was malfunctioning.

Bai Wei tried once and confirmed that there was no problem, so she dialed to inquire whether Saki Jingūji had eaten.

It delighted Jingūji and then said she hadn’t eaten, clearly intending to use the phone call as an excuse to ask for food and drink.

My younger sister snatched the receiver and exclaimed, "You haven’t eaten? Then eat my punch!"

Bang, the call was abruptly ended.

What a wonderful best friend, so touching that it gives one a stomachache.

Dundun had no choice but to give up on dialing the phone number and even suspected that the number might be fake.

"I apologize for the disturbance." Just before leaving, Dundun politely bowed and thanked, "Thank you for your assistance, may you have a peaceful life."

Bai Wei, "You’re welcome. If you have any spare cubs in the future, send one to me."

Dundun pretended not to hear this sentence. It passed through the alleyway, carried its provisions, and swiftly disappeared.

"Are we just letting it go like this?" Yagyū Simozi asked curiously.

What else can we do? It’s a panda, but not a wild animal. How can you domesticate a demon? Besides, I’m sure it’s not the only one carrying so many things. A highly intelligent giant panda that can speak human language, it can’t be native to Yingzhou. You noticed it too, right? It spoke the language of the Ming Country.

Hmm… a monster from the Ming Country?

"The Ming Country does have half-demons and demon tribes, but those who have obtained citizenship wouldn’t end up in such a state. If they lack security in their lives, they can contact the embassy and consulate for assistance in arranging work and resolving livelihood issues."

"So it’s not from the Ming Country… It looks like it could only be from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom." My younger sister paused, "But it has nothing to do with us, right?"

"You never know, if you feed one stray cat, maybe next time a whole group will come."

"That’s why I don’t like stray cats and stray dogs." Yagyū Simozi didn’t want to delve too deep into this topic.

Since childhood, my elder brother has had a habit of picking up things from outside and claiming they’re grateful demons he found.

In reality, he has indeed found some, but they didn’t look like proper demons at all. It’s possible that they intentionally let themselves be picked up, using the guise of gratitude, only to be driven away by him. Yagyū Simozi has a cold temperament and is indifferent towards strangers. In the family, it’s better for him to complement Bai Wei, so as to prevent him from getting into trouble due to his kind-heartedness. In this world, good people always end up suffering losses.

She always plays the role of the bad cop.

"Speaking of which, Hokusinn Kichyō hasn’t been here for quite some time," Yagyū Simozi suddenly changed the topic.

"Indeed," said Bai Wei. "She may be busy."

"I feel like she has something on her mind. Brother, why don’t you visit Hokusinn’s house?" she suggested.

Bai Wei was astonished for a moment, then she looked at her younger sister with great satisfaction. "You’ve grown up."

Yagyū Simozi raised her hand and pressed it to her chest, earnestly retorting, "No, I’m not grown up enough yet."

Bai Wei, "……"

My younger sister added, "I’ll accompany you when you visit Hokusinn’s house, so when will you have time, Brother?"

Roughly, one week later?

After the Alliance Friendship Competition is over and we get the Golden Branch, the busy period will come to an end.

Brother, aren’t you idle every day with nothing to do?

"Actually, I’m very busy. Even in my dreams, there’s no rest."

Bai Wei supported his forehead with his hand, feeling deeply troubled. He had been shuttling back and forth between two places for overtime work during this period, and couldn’t adjust to the time difference.

Naturally, there was simply no time to rest. It was supposed to be better than living an ordinary domestic life, but it never went as planned.

Since awakening his memories, it had only been a little over two months, but it felt like he had lived for four or five months.

Yagyū Simozi didn’t insist any further. She stopped at that point, and even saying one sentence was already considered keeping up her friendship with Hokusinn. But if her elder brother didn’t care about this matter, she wouldn’t be too concerned either, after all, Hokusinn Kichyō was a major enemy.

Short-term collaboration was possible, but long-term it would breed animosity.

In a chaotic era of great strife, let alone polygamy, huh… If there were choices, who would be willing to share with other women?

Simozi said she was going to do her homework and then returned to her room, putting on headphones and ignoring everything outside the window.

Bai Wei’s attention was not on Hokusinn Kichyō, so naturally he didn’t realize that his sister’s hint this time was an audible warning. In the future, he would definitely regret not paying attention to it now.

But nobody can see the future, and he currently doesn’t know. Instead, he focused his attention on the panda.

There was an exclamation mark above Dundun’s head, in an untriggered state.

This is a guiding exclamation mark, like a weak guidance in a linear game flow.

Following this will lead you to the next location area and unlock the next stage of the mission.

He was waiting for the subsequent plot to be triggered.

He has always been accustomed to this, watching the tigers fight from the mountain and waiting for the opportunity to come. There will always be people paving the way for him. There are too many busy people in this world.

"Miss, I got the supplies."

"Where did you get these?"

"They were given by someone with good intentions."

"Don’t deceive me. Did you go and do something bad?"

"Yes… and no."

"Ahem, Dundun, give the things back to them."

"Miss, it really was given by someone with good intentions. It was given by a man from the Ming Country. I can’t even speak Yingzhou language. I didn’t snatch it from ordinary folks. Look, this is even a receipt from a pharmacy. They bought it for me. I even had two pieces of steak and a plate of bamboo shoot stir-fry. The taste was so good. I brought it back."

Bai Ze Woman looked at the disposable meal box and her appetite was aroused by the aroma. Her weak body needed energy replenishment, and food was the most suitable way.

She didn’t continue to insist, and it seemed that Dundun wasn’t lying. She took two anti-inflammatory pills and ate the food in the meal box. She finally felt a little relieved, at least it could sustain her for a few more days.

She tidied up her green hair and turned around to start disinfecting the wound. She poured hydrogen peroxide, biting her lip as it stung.

To divert her attention, she asked Dundun about what happened.

"I tried calling the phone number, but it was always busy. I tried many times, but it was constantly showing as ‘in use.’"

"In use?" Bai Ze Woman muttered, "Could the phone number be fake? Or is the landline broken?"

"It’s not the landline, it must be an issue with the phone number," Dundun whispered, "Miss, it’s also not safe here, maybe we should…"

"We have already caused a lot of trouble for the other party," she rejected without hesitation, "Besides, we are already a trouble ourselves. What if we attract the assassins of the Blue Wing Society? Injuring either of these siblings would be a price we cannot afford. We shouldn’t become someone else’s catastrophe just for our own sake."

Dundun fell silent, it also felt that such a kind and friendly pair of siblings were rare to find.

It can hold chopsticks in its hands, but it can’t stitch Miss’s wounds. Even if it had a needle and thread, it wouldn’t be able to do it. We need to find a doctor.

Bai Ze is a demon, not a naturally powerful demon race.

If she wants to become stronger, she needs to put in effort just like humans. The inherent advantage for humans is nothing more than ‘intelligence.’ For humans, wisdom is innate, but the majority of demons need a considerable amount of time to awaken their consciousness, to free themselves from being ordinary beasts, and to be awakened from their dazed state. Only powerful demon bloodlines can obtain wisdom in their youth and gain the tremendous advantage of unlimited growth like primates.

"I’m already much better. I’ll recover a lot more after resting for another night," she said. Demon bodies are more resilient than human bodies.

Her wounds should have healed to some extent, but it’s still bleeding until now. It can only mean that there is something wrong with the blade that injured her.

Weapons are enhanced with additional harm to demons, which can disrupt the circulation of demonic energy, hinder regenerative abilities, and cause the wound to tear and bleed more.

"It’s weapon poison," she shook her head, "Stitching it up won’t help, it will only further tear the wound."

This is a specialty of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, like a kind of special magical technique permanently infused in weapons. Special minerals are added with unique materials and forged through special methods to create these peculiar weapons. They contain curse poison, or in other words… these are weapons with built-in attributes, and this one has the attribute of ‘tear.’

The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom has one of the top forging techniques. Although each country excels in the forging of top-tier weapons, when it comes to mass production, they far surpass other nations.

Because the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom are all demons with demonic powers, they require a large number of well-matched weapons. However, the Ming Country and Yingzhou have strict regulations on weapon control, and the demand for weapons from top-level warriors is not very high. Therefore, divine weapons are designed for the strongest warriors, while ordinary soldiers would rather wield their own makeshift weapons and say, "This fire poker is still reliable." On the other hand, the allied nations dominate in the field of spell systems, and weapon forging is a separate matter. The Sacred Religion, which corresponds to this, is also a powerhouse in forging, producing not only weapons but also armor that matches their unique rune system.

Different national conditions have led to different developments. However, the irony is that biological and chemical weapons cause even greater harm to the demon race, just like how firearms, once developed, have caused the most casualties to humans themselves. It’s all about targeting their own kind.

Under the Eastern Wind missile, all things are equal.

At this moment, it had just turned into night, but it seemed as if Dundun had exhausted all its good luck. They didn’t have enough time to rest and couldn’t move on to the next place.

As shouts came from outside, "People inside…regardless of whether you’re human or not, listen up and immediately drop your weapons and surrender!"

It was the sound of a loudspeaker. When this sound resounded, it meant they had already been completely surrounded.

Bai Ze Woman looked outside and suddenly didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Compared to being killed by an assassin’s blade, it seemed more acceptable to end up in prison?

She didn’t consider the possibility of surrendering. A group of policemen couldn’t possibly restrain her.

Just as she was contemplating this, suddenly a translucent light curtain appeared all around her, a total of five light walls.

"What is this?" Dundun asked. "Miss, does Yingzhou also have spellcraft?"

"This is not allied magic, but the Yin and Yang ghost techniques derived from Daoism: the pentagram and bellflower seal." It was the first time she had witnessed the unique mysteries of Yingzhou with her own eyes, although its reputation and evaluation were quite subtle on a global scale.

It’s Onmyoryou.

"Fortunately, it’s Onmyoji." Dundun became confident. Onmyoji were nothing more than a group of bureaucrats, insignificant and not worth a hit. "Watch me scatter them!"
