Chapter 98: Fangs

Chapter 98: Fangs

Early morning.

Scraping noises from fabrics rubbing at each other resounded as if someone was rummaging for something.

With his consciousness still hazy Ji Bai instantly opened his eyes. Even in an easy and comfortable environment he still carried a certain wariness towards his surroundings.

He saw a petite cherry-colored silhouette sitting beside a small wooden wardrobe arranging some items.

Ji Bai let go of his raised vigilance.

Keer?

Oh my! Mr. Ji Bai is awake?

Mhm and what are you doing?

I am arranging the clothes for Mr. Ji Bai. These are already dry so Keer is helping by folding and putting them in your wardrobe~ As usual a therapeutic smile hung on her face.

Oh I can handle these trifling matters by myself. You can just leave those to me in the future. Ji Bai reckoned that it was time to get out of bed for him as well. So he grabbed some clothes and personal items lying on top of his bedside cabinet and shoved them under his blanket.

Its alright~ This is what Keer is here for~ You can find your breakfast on the dining table~ Now Keer wants to go to the public bath to tidy up her body so shes going to excuse herself. Keer fiddled her apron in an adorable manner and did a slight bow.

I got it. You can go. Within ten seconds an orderly dressed Ji Bai had climbed up from his mattress to nod towards her.

He guessed that it had something to do with the nature of her race. A child that was very fond of cleanliness Keer had taken responsibility for each and every household duty in their home and was meticulous when it came to hygiene management.

While Ji Bai wasnt sure if he was overthinking it he had always felt that Keer was overly polite towards him. It was to the extent that it made him feel like there was a layer of glass separating them.

When he put more thought into it he concluded that it couldnt be helped. No matter the circumstances it must be awkward for a small girl to live together with an adult male. It was already good enough that she didnt turn her back on him.

Even though today fell on a weekend Ji Bai was not the slightest bit idle.

He felt the need to purchase some equipment as sudden and inevitable occurrences always happened whenever he picked up his equipment on the battlefield. It also was a dishonorable act to steal the equipment of the deceased.

Moreover he had always felt somewhat uneasy without a weapon beside him.

But sadly it couldnt be helped due to his finite assets; After he had paid the installment from the damages caused at the lounge and deducted his daily expenses the amount that remained was pitiably little.

This wasnt some Xuanhuan-Wuxia novel where one could just casually walk on the street and bump into an old man who would forcefully instill some rare martial-art techniques on you.

Ohh then itd be this long spear. Only the tip of it was forged with molybdenum and its price is roughly around 5 silver coins.

Is there anything even cheaper

The weapons Ji Bai was most proficient with were naturally two-handed longswords. This type of sword demanded the most out of its user and had a hefty price tag. The latter part was the more important point in Ji Bais thoughts.

After a series of downgrades and back-and-forth haggling Ji Bai walked out the weapon store carrying an impure two-handed longsword that contained a smidgen of molybdenum.

This time Ji Bais entire savings had been completely spent. But he had finally gotten a sword so he wasnt particularly fussy about it.

With a bit of luck this sword might be able to last for a while.

As the blazing midday sun hung over the street a conspicuous silver-grey figure attracted Ji Bais attention.

The parasite? Has that woman gone out to purchase some goods too? Forget it its best to not get myself involved.

With his business finished Ji Bai decided to turn around and leave.

Can Missus hold on a moment please?

Is something the matter sire? Lin came to a halt while walking on the street. She then turned her head and emotionlessly looked at the blue-haired youth who had called out to her.

Showing a mysterious smile Gordon took down his western-style hat and revealed his face whose looks were absolutely within the realms of handsomeness.

We dont seem to be acquainted with each other. Said Lin emotionlessly.

Mhm this is the first time we met But I have always felt that I have a strong affinity with you. May I know your name Miss?

Lin.

Well then Miss Lin. This humble self wishes to invite you to a meal and discuss some matters. I wonder if Miss Lin will do me the honor of attending?

Im afraid Im pressed for time.

Pressed for time? What sort of matters are capable of forcing Miss Lin into such a hurry?

Personal matters. Lin slightly knitted her eyebrows.

As someone who liked to keep a set distance away from others Lin disliked strangers getting too overly close with her. This was especially the case for people incessantly pestering her even when she had hinted repeatedly that she didnt want to talk to them.

Private matters Haha Miss Lin is very unique shes different from the girls Ive met before. Spoke Gordon with cadence.

Is that so?

Yes for instance Miss Lin your overly white skin Silver hair is something that doesnt exist in humans and your hair doesnt seem to be dyed. The most unique thing however is the aura youre giving out As he spoke up to this point Gordons smile gradually turned cold.

Is it possible to allow this humble self to check whether there are any sharp fangs in your mouth Miss Lin??

The type of fangs that belong to a vampire
