Chapter 21: Sorry, No Date

……

The incident of the Giant Eyed Rat appearing in the urban area did not cause much of a stir; after all, it was resolved quickly, but it still caused a certain amount of casualties.

For this reason, people from the Hunter Union and the Magic Association launched a detailed inspection of the urban area by Magicians, especially in places like these sewers.

Lv Cheng was also commended by the school and the Magic Association for bravely taking action and preventing further casualties.

An honorary certificate that could provide extra points in the Magic High School Entrance Exam.

Of course, this thing was useless to Lv Cheng; as long as he released his Sub-dragon Summoned Beast, he could enter any top-tier institution he wanted, and he could even be specially recruited right now.

The people from the Magic Association knew this too, but the reward that should be given still had to be given.

……

Hunter Union.

Although Lv Cheng was not short of money, it was only that he was not short of it for now; his future expenses would be very high, so he still needed to register as a Hunter who could accept commissions to earn money.

Moreover, the identity of a Hunter could save him a lot of trouble.

After completing the registration and obtaining the Hunter qualification certificate, Lv Cheng left.

His current abilities were not enough to take on those commissions and bounties worth hundreds of thousands or millions alone; running into the wilderness to face demons alone was very dangerous, and it would be over if he were surrounded.

Although with Shendu around, he would not die, he did not want to experience being missing an arm or a leg!

Being able to recover did not mean he would not feel pain!

As for joining the City Demon Hunter Team or a Hunter squad, he had no interest; he was very busy.

Now that he was not short of money, there was no need to spend time on these things; once he mastered the Demon Qi of the Demon, going to developed areas like the Magic City would make earning money very fast.

"Someone is following you," Shendu said.

"I know, is it a man or a woman?" Lv Cheng asked.

"A woman."

"Is she pretty?"

"By the standards of you humans... why are you asking this?" Shendu asked, puzzled.

Does it make a difference whether she is pretty or not?

"If she's pretty, let her keep following; if she's ugly or a man, find an opportunity to kill them directly," Lv Cheng said.

"……"

"Are you serious?" Shendu looked bewildered.

"Of course, I can accept the offense of a cute person, but I cannot tolerate the death-seeking of an ugly one," Lv Cheng said.

"If a cute kitten scratches me, I can forgive its impulse, but if a rat dares to bite me, I will let it know what cruelty is."

"So, is she pretty?"

"Has anyone ever told you that you are very shallow?" Shendu said strangely.

"Isn't that a rhetorical question?" Lv Cheng stopped in his tracks.

"I am a human, and humans are inherently such shallow creatures."

"I like good-looking things and yearn for beauty; is there a problem with that?"

Shendu was momentarily speechless, "No problem."

"That woman is following right at the corner; by your aesthetic standards, she is very pretty."

"Very pretty?" Lv Cheng raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the corner behind him.

"Then I must see for myself."

Having known each other for so long, and being a teacher, Shendu had a relatively detailed understanding of his hobbies; it could be considered knowing oneself and the enemy.

And for someone to be described by Shendu as "very pretty," they must be a top-tier beauty.

After all, even for Tang Yue, Shendu's evaluation was merely "alright."

As for Mu Ningxue and Ye Xinxia, they were just little brats.

"But this woman is very strong; she can kill you in seconds!" Shendu added.

Lv Cheng, who had just turned around, had his face darken, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Previously, Shendu had roughly learned the strength of Intermediate Mages through Tang Yue, and his current body was inexplicably strong; the Spell Divine Power flowed within him, and Shendu's Fire Demon Qi was also protecting his body, making it difficult for the Magic energy attacks of Intermediate Mages to cause him effective damage.

However, she could kill him in seconds? That would at least have to be a High-level Mage!

Bo City, at least a High-level Mage, a woman?

Who else could it be?

"Discovered?"

Ye Chang, hiding in the shadows, looked at Lv Cheng, who was suddenly looking at her, and was somewhat surprised.

"Still so sharp..."

Lv Cheng's spiritual perception was very exaggerated; ten years ago, when he was just a child, he had already been able to perceive her presence, although she had not deliberately hidden her aura at that time, but Lv Cheng was only a five or six-year-old child back then!

Now, even with her hiding, Lv Cheng could actually sense her, a Super-level Mage of the Shadow Element... interesting.

"Hmm?" Ye Chang, who had just intended to walk out and say hello, was stunned.

She saw that after hesitating for less than a third of a second, Lv Cheng ran straight toward the Hunter Union hall not far away!

"So cowardly?" Ye Chang found it somewhat amusing.

The Lv Cheng of those years had been very bold; after sensing her, he had found her out like a complete idiot.

"Looks like he's learned his lesson." Ye Chang walked out of the shadows with interest and followed.

Lv Cheng's perception could only sense that someone was watching him, but he could not perceive the strength of the other party.

At that time, she was about to leave, and in order to give this child a reminder not to abuse this ability of his, so as to avoid bringing unnecessary danger to himself.

Therefore, after Lv Cheng found her out, she used a little trick to scare the child into fainting on the spot.

……

The Hunter Union hall.

Lv Cheng went straight to the most crowded central area and sat down.

"It seems you know that woman," Shendu said.

"She scared me out of my wits back then!" Lv Cheng said with a speechless expression.

Ye Chang knew him!

When Ye Chang brought Xinxia to Bo City back then, Wen Tai was already dead. Ye Chang was already quite insane at that time, but he didn't know then that Ye Chang was Ye Chang; he only knew that the big sister was very beautiful! And she liked him a lot! She even often took him out to play!

It wasn't until he later met Xinxia that he realized that woman was Ye Chang!

Before dumping Xinxia at the Mo Family and leaving Bo City, Ye Chang had specifically sought him out and scared him half to death!

He didn't know why, but Ye Chang loved teasing him!

She especially loved scaring him!

Ye Chang had never held a shred of malice toward him, and she was the only person besides his parents who knew about his Psychic talent, which was why he had dared to deliberately bring out his Sub-dragon Summoned Beast—it was to make Ye Chang come find him.

If one wanted to avoid persecution by the Black Vatican, the safest way was naturally to build a good relationship with their boss.

"How can you be sure she won't harm you?" Shendu asked, puzzled.

"Humans are very fickle."

"I can't be sure about others, but this big sister, she really won't harm me," Lv Cheng said.

What he had felt from Ye Chang back then wasn't just goodwill, but also a somewhat twisted affection!

Although he didn't know where that affection came from, Ye Chang hadn't laid a hand on him back then when he was so special, so it was even less likely now.

An assassin raised from childhood is much more useful than one who hops on board halfway.

"Then why are you hiding?" Shendu asked, puzzled.

"Instinctive reaction," Lv Cheng said with a speechless expression.

"She scared me out of my wits back then, just like how you wanted to bolt the first time you saw the Immortal God Qi on me; I have a trauma regarding her!"

He was still young at that time, having only been in this world for a few years, and in his previous life, he was just a college student, not some mercenary or assassin; he hadn't even seen a dead person.

But the ghostly commotion Ye Chang created... it left him with a psychological shadow!

It was also after that incident that he never dared to expose his sensing ability again; even if he discovered something, he always played dumb.

She really had to teach him one last lesson before leaving!

"Wow!"

The relatively quiet Hunter Union hall suddenly became restless as an extremely beautiful woman walked in, attracting everyone's gaze.

Silver-white long hair, a form-fitting red dress, a face as exquisite as a painting, and an innate air of nobility that made people afraid to meet her gaze.

Scanning the room, Ye Chang found Lv Cheng sitting in the center of the hall and walked straight toward him.

"Hello?" Ye Chang leaned over and patted Lv Cheng on the back of his shoulder.

Lv Cheng turned his head, their eyes meeting, "Sorry, sister, I'm still young, not interested."

"……"
