201: Heading to District 36

(What are you thinking? I'm a positive-energy author~ (¯▽¯~)~)

At this moment, Clear Leaf was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, but not completely. Her snowy white shoulders and a pair of shapely legs were exposed.

She looked at Fang Bai, her face flushing slightly. "Lord Fang Bai, come in and close the door."

Fang Bai was a dignified gentleman; how could he be so easily seduced by feminine charms?

He stepped straight inside, and then... closed the door.

"Auntie, what is the meaning of this?"

Clear Leaf said softly, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, Yumi and I would have been harmed by Mukaihara."

Fang Bai shook his head. "There's no need to be so polite. In comparison, you saved my life as well, so we're even, right?"

He was actually planning to have a serious talk with her about her mindset!

Are the Little Japanese so open nowadays?

...On the other side.

In the pitch-black room, a groan of pain rang out.

Mukaihara opened his eyes; he had regained consciousness by now.

"Bastard! Damned bitch! Damned Dragon Country person!"

Mukaihara was furious, enraged that the mother and daughter had teamed up with an outsider to deal with him!

"So hungry... so thirsty..."

Once his consciousness returned, Mukaihara felt a wave of weakness brought on by hunger.

They actually hadn't prepared any food for him!

"No! I have to escape! Call the police! No! Notify the Hall Master of the Hokkaido Hall! I must have them killed!"

Mukaihara's expression was incredibly malicious. He was now blinded by hatred, wishing he could tear them into ten thousand pieces!

"You all must die!"

A beast-like low growl escaped his mouth.

"Truly obstinate!"

Just then, an eerie voice rang out in the room.

Mukaihara's pupils shrank, and goosebumps broke out all over his body. "Who is it?!"

A pitch-black figure appeared in the room, with only a pair of blood-red eyes staring at him eerily.

As a mere ordinary person, when had Mukaihara ever seen such a scene? He was instantly scared out of his wits!

"Ghost! A ghost!"

Puchi!

A sharp dagger pierced through his mouth and out the back of his head!

Mukaihara's eyes widened, filled with disbelief!

He was dying? Just like that?

He never imagined until his death that he would meet such an end!

With resentment, Mukaihara's body slumped down, his eyes refusing to close even in death!

The dark figure muttered, "Your Brother Bai doesn't kill ordinary people, but who told you to be a beast?"

First lesson of life: directly forgetting one's roots!

The dark figure came and went like a shadow, vanishing silently from the spot.

A few seconds later, the room door was pushed open. Yumi appeared at the doorway, and when she saw Mukaihara's corpse, she was instantly stunned!

Clear Leaf was also startled and rushed over with Fang Bai.

Seeing Fang Bai appear, a hint of doubt flashed in Yumi's eyes.

"He's dead?"

Clear Leaf looked at her husband's corpse with a complex expression.

Yumi walked up to Fang Bai, and the latter comforted her, "Don't be sad."

Yumi shook her head. "I'm not sad. It's just that I don't know who killed him. There's no sign of the door being opened, and his death is very strange."

Fang Bai glanced at Mukaihara's corpse and said faintly, "Could it be that he couldn't take it and committed suicide?"

Yumi looked at him. "Really?"

Fang Bai said with a smile, "You don't suspect me, do you?"

Clear Leaf spoke up for Fang Bai at this moment. "Yumi, Lord Fang Bai has been in my room the whole time... It wasn't him."

As she spoke, Clear Leaf's face turned slightly red, seemingly a bit shy.

Yumi nodded. "I believe Brother Bai."

She didn't have much affection for her father anyway; his life or death was irrelevant to her.

"Don't worry about him. We have to leave tomorrow, so get ready,"

Fang Bai said.

His expression was very calm, showing no reaction to Mukaihara's death.

It was just a death; what was so strange about it?

The mother and daughter nodded.

That night, Fang Bai stayed at Yumi's house. This was at the request of the mother and daughter; after all, there was a corpse lying in the house, and they were afraid.

Fang Bai did not sleep. He held a demon crystal in his hand, absorbing its energy over and over again.

The night passed in silence.

The next day, the mother and daughter had finished packing their luggage. Fang Bai looked at the two large bags and said, "Let me carry them for you."

With a wave of his hand, he directly stored the two large bags into his space ring.

Yumi's eyes lit up. "Brother Bai, is this the method of a martial artist?"

Fang Bai nodded. "That's right, you can understand it that way. Of course, once you become a martial artist in the future, you'll be able to do it too."

Yumi immediately looked forward to it. "Brother Bai, can you teach me how to cultivate?"

Fang Bai raised an eyebrow and then said, "Sure."

He didn't mind. There would be plenty of time on the road, as long as he eventually delivered the mother and daughter to the martial arts hall.

The three of them didn't leave the village immediately but went to the clinic first.

Old Master Hisamura's complexion was very good today, and he looked as if he had aged backward by several years.

Fang Bai naturally knew this was because the old man had absorbed the Rank Six demon crystal.

"Leaving?"

Old Master Hisamura asked.

Fang Bai nodded. "Old man, before we go, cook a couple of dishes for us!"

Hisamura: ... The Cangwu Martial Arts Hall where Yumi was accepted was located in District Thirty-Six.

Little Sun Country had also experienced the demon beast invasion, and its population had shrunk significantly. Now, only twenty million people remained, and these twenty million were their last legacy!

Their high-level authorities had divided the territory into regions, forty-seven in total!

Actually, Little Sun Country was quite lucky. After all, very few countries in the entire Asian continent had survived!

Those countries with small territories hadn't even survived the first wave of the beast tide before being wiped out!

Traveling from the village to District Thirty-Six required a week-long journey.

And that was with a car.

Two hours later.

"Blegh! Blegh!"

At the back of the car, by the roadside, the mother and daughter were squatting and vomiting uncontrollably, completely losing their composure.

Fang Bai was very puzzled by this. "What's wrong with you two? Is it really that uncomfortable?"

Yumi raised her hand tremblingly and said, "Bro... Brother Bai, how about we just walk..."

Is this a car that a human can drive?

In these two hours, they had seen the Grim Reaper a dozen times and their ancestors several times... Fang Bai immediately said displeasedly, "What do you mean? Isn't driving faster? Walking would take over half a month! Driving gets us there in a week."

Yumi's eyes were vacant. "I don't know if I can last another half month..."

Fang Bai: ... In the end, Fang Bai decided to drive for one hour and rest for two, allowing the mother and daughter to gradually adapt to his bizarre driving skills.

Fortunately, although they almost met their ancestors several times, they were miraculously saved each time. Knowing they wouldn't die, they simply gave up resisting.

As long as they didn't die... They had long since left the village, and ahead of the car was a massive mountain.
