Chapter 114

Seeing Lin Ye looking like nothing had happened, she was finally relieved.

No wounds.

That's great.

She felt that her clairvoyance had finally come in handy this time.

"I'm fine, it won't kill me, rest assured."

Lin Ye suddenly noticed the abrasion on Yukinoshita Yukino's ankle.

"On the contrary, how is the abrasion on your lower leg? Was it scratched by a dog?"

And what he lacked was exactly what the Yukinoshita family currently had.

"I'm fine, it's just an abrasion from slipping when I was escaping earlier, it's nothing, please don't worry."

She pulled up her left pant leg and said in a calm tone.

Compared to Lin Ye's life-and-death struggle just now, her little abrasion was nothing.

"Hmm, the Tosa dog is dead, but I saw a dachshund earlier; it should be Yuigahama's pet, but it was scared off by me. I reckon it will run away as soon as it sees me, so catching it might be a bit difficult."

Lin Ye felt a bit helpless.

By now, the short burst of combat made him feel physically exhausted, and using the 'Snake Eye Orb' had placed a certain burden on his mind.

"No rush, let's wait until Yuigahama Yui arrives."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the three dogs—one large and two small—lying in the black-red liquid behind Lin Ye; the largest Tosa dog was a bloody mess, its abdomen a patch of blood-stained rotten flesh.

She felt instinctively uncomfortable and immediately looked away.

If it were her, she wouldn't even be able to handle one Akita dog, let alone a fierce breed like a Tosa.

If it weren't for Lin Ye, her fate would definitely not have been any better.

Thinking of this,

Yukinoshita Yukino's body trembled slightly.

"I've already called the police; they should be here soon."

To be honest, Lin Ye didn't want to have any contact with the police.

"I also contacted the family driver and briefly explained the situation; he will come to handle it, let's go first!"

As expected of a prestigious family in Chiba, they had someone to handle the aftermath.

Walking beside Yukinoshita Yukino, Lin Ye took off his jacket and stuffed it into his backpack, while he wiped the liquid on his pants with a tissue.

The girl walking beside Lin Ye wanted to say something but hesitated, seemingly wanting to help but feeling embarrassed to speak up.

It wasn't until Lin Ye finished cleaning up that the girl with long black hair looked away.

Lin Ye smiled and took a few more looks at the girl's profile; that exquisite, flawless face was something he could never get tired of looking at.

"What is it?"

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to notice Lin Ye's gaze; her eyes shifted, her red lips moved, and she spoke softly,

"There's a little dust on your face."

"Hmm."

She used the back of her hand to wipe her left cheek.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder toward the Chiba shopping mall.

The setting sun shone down, a breeze blew in the evening, fallen green leaves fluttered, and the two were bathed in the gentle, warm sunlight.

"Lin, you go to that coffee shop first! I'm going to the drugstore to buy iodine and cotton swabs."

Yukinoshita Yukino saw the drugstore not far away, gave Lin Ye a reminder, and walked over quickly.

Lin Ye nodded and walked straight toward the coffee shop; this was the very same shop where he had coffee with Fujibayashi Ryou last weekend.

"Welcome."

Guided by the waiter, Lin Ye chose a seat by the window in the back.

"Two lattes, please."

"Please wait a moment, guest."

The waiter in the red and white uniform turned and returned with a smile.

Lin Ye put down his backpack and leaned back against the soft cushion of the chair, his body relaxing slightly.

"Need further training."

If he were strong enough, even without using clairvoyance to find the 'core' of the supernatural vicious dog, he could have killed it.

"Besides physical fitness, I also need to specifically improve my strength."

Of course, Lin Ye knew that the simplest and fastest way was to raise his game level, gain free attribute points, and increase his various attributes through those points.

Even so, training was still necessary.

Through training, he could increase his control and familiarity with his body and further explore his physical potential.

During combat, he could maximize his physical strength.

While thinking about the shortcomings in eliminating the supernatural vicious dog this time, the coffee shop welcomed an eye-catching beautiful girl with long black hair.

Yukinoshita Yukino walked in carrying a small plastic bag, looked around, saw Lin Ye waving at her, and walked straight toward him.

"What a beautiful girl!"

"Why... want to go hit on her?"

"Didn't you see she's meeting someone? I reckon that guy is her boyfriend."

"Sigh, what a pity, that guy looks average; I'm much more handsome than him!"

The quiet conversation was exceptionally clear in the quiet coffee shop.

Yukinoshita Yukino heard it clearly, but she was completely used to such things, and it couldn't even cause a ripple in her heart.

"Ordered a latte for you, don't know if you like it."

Lin Ye pointed to the coffee on the table across from him.

"It's fine."

She placed the bag on the empty seat beside her, picked up the coffee cup with her slender fingers, brought it to her lips, and took a small sip.

Sweet with a hint of bitterness.

Compared to black coffee without sugar or milk, Yukinoshita actually felt that a latte suited her taste better, though most of the time, she preferred tea over coffee; unless there was a truly important emergency that required staying alert, she would choose coffee to refresh herself.

"Did you pay?"

"No."

"I've already paid."

"Is this a thank-you gift for the help earlier?"

"If you think treating you to coffee is enough as a thank-you gift, I have no problem with that."

"Fine, having the school beauty of Sobu High treat me to coffee as a thank-you gift, I already feel it's quite good."

Lin Ye took a sip and said with a smile.

But his answer surprised Yukinoshita Yukino very much; she had already prepared herself for Lin Ye to refuse and ask for something else as a thank-you gift.

That was a life-saving favor; compared to a cup of coffee, it was far from equal.

Lin Ye was fully qualified to propose higher conditions, or even some excessive demands, but he didn't, which Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't figure out.

"Hmm."

Yukinoshita Yukino responded.

She quickly raised her eyes, her dark blue eyes fixed on the man in front of her; in her eyes, the man was not wearing any clothes.

From the beginning until now, three days had passed, and she was already used to it; seeing Lin Ye's body didn't cause much shame or embarrassment anymore.

Even she had gotten used to it.

"Do me a favor."

She took the cotton swab and iodine from the plastic bag and handed them to Lin Ye.

"Help me treat the wound on my left lower leg."

After speaking,

She placed her left leg on the side of the aisle, and at the same time pulled up her pant leg; the 'swish' sound of fabric rubbing against fabric rang out.
