CH 83.2

Although Count Aer was trash, his fur was well groomed.

His stature was very tall, and the fur was also very thick and wide.

The Beast King was afraid that Bai Lixin wouldn’t like it, so he had someone wipe the bloodstains off before handing it to him.

Dijia didn’t notice Bai Lixin’s inner emotions as all his thoughts were on the fur.

He first used a cleaning spell to remove the dirt and odor from the fur, then held it up with both hands and measured it on Bai Lixin.

Under Bai Lixin’s curious gaze, Dijia chanted a spell toward the fur, and a fashionable lion fur coat was immediately made.

“Try it on and see how it looks.”

It was winter in the human race and the temperature had dropped below twenty degrees. The wind was enough to freeze people’s bones.

Dijia’s gaze swept over Bai Lixin’s slightly red cheeks. Although Bai Lixin’s physique was stronger than ordinary people’s, he was still a human being.

“Look at you, your face is red from the cold.” Dijia sighed and unceremoniously stuffed Bai Lixin into the fur coat.

Bai Lixin’s breathing stopped abruptly.

Is my face red because of the cold?

The golden soft fleece rested on Bai Lixin’s neck. The warm sunlight came in from the window and fell on the golden fleece, making it give off a warm golden light. Bai Lixin’s already fair face was made even fairer and brighter.

Even the pink on both sides of the cheeks was enchanting and pure, like peach blossoms in March.

Dijia was stunned.

Bai Lixin wore the fur coat for a while before taking it off. “I won’t wear this, Master.”

Dijia, “Why? It’s dirty?”

“No,” Bai Lixin folded the coat neatly and put it away in his backpack. “It’s a matter of principle. *No buying and selling, no killing.”

The man froze, “It was an oversight on my part, in that case…”

A pair of large bony hands suddenly reached under Bai Lixin’s hands and hugged him.

“Since you don’t want to, then I’ll have to use my fur.”

The wide cloak suddenly opened like a bat, and slowly closed again, wrapping Bai Lixin’s entire body in it. He was nestled in Dijia’s warm embrace, and only a head was peeking out through the gap in the cloak.

Dijia was wearing a vestment under the cloak. The collar of the vestment was opened to the waist, and the hidden fur was then exposed to Bai Lixin’s back.

It was warm, soft, and a little ticklish.

The thick fur covered his whole back, not only warming Bai Lixin’s entire body but also burrowing into his long, slender neck.

The sun was shining outside, and Dijia shifted to his side. He wrapped his arms around Bai Lixin and fell back onto the big bed.

Dijia’s soft fluffy hair tickled Bai Lixin’s neck and he shuddered reflexively.

“Don’t move, get some sleep. Do you know how long it’s been since you’ve rested?” Dijia’s soft and suppressed voice came from behind him. There was a snap of a finger and the curtains were instantly pulled shut.

The sunlight was isolated and the room was silent.

Bai Lixin shrunk his neck, “It is ticklish.”

Cold hands immediately landed on the back of his neck and gently rubbed it. “I’ll help you; don’t move.”

Dijia’s voice become lower and more suppressed, and Bai Lixin felt him push his lower back away.

“I don’t want to touch you,” the man’s hoarse voice was close at hand, “you really need to rest.”

“You’re not a god, and you don’t need to carry everything on your own. Relax and don’t be tense all the time. I will always be behind you, understand? There’s still time, so we’ll talk when you wake up from your sleep.”

Bai Lixin actually wanted to turn around and tell Dijia that he didn’t need to rest, but the other party’s gentle yet restrained voice strangely soothed his heart.

In a trance, Bai Lixin felt like his whole body was light, and his consciousness was gradually blurred…

—

Bai Lixin was awakened by a faint chatter. He hazily opened his eyes and saw Dijia talking to someone at the doorway.

He lifted his eyelids and looked over. The room was dimly lit, and it was by the faint yellow light from the corridor that Bai Lixin saw Liang Xi and the others.

He rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed. He asked with a yawn, “What’s wrong? Come in and talk.”

Seeing that Bai Lixin was awake, Dijia reluctantly gave way and the three immediately filed in.

Xia Chi, “Brother, have you rested?”

Bai Lixin looked at the window. The curtains were still drawn and he couldn’t see the present time.

He stretched out his arms and flexed his muscles. “What time is it?”

“It’s already afternoon; did we wake you up?”

Dijia leaned against the wall and sneered, “Nonsense.”

Xia Chi and the other two: “……”

Embarrassed jpg.

Bai Lixin, “What’s wrong?”

Xia Chi, “We went out to find clues and accidentally met Wen Ziqing. Two other players died, so we four are the only ones still alive.”

Wen Ziqing?

I remember that he became an undead when they were in the Beast race territory.

Wasn’t he with the Beast race? When did he come to the human race?

Bai Lixin stayed up last night and witnessed all the changes in the Beast race.

Everything ended at dawn, then he and Dijia said goodbye to the Beast King and the beastmen, and they found Xia Chi and the rest in the cave.

Then they teleported to an unnoticed corner of the Human Imperial City based on the clues they got from the Beast King.

The Imperial City was in the winter season, and because they didn’t have warm clothing, the group decided to first find a place before the next step.

He didn’t expect to sleep for half of the afternoon.

Bai Lixin opened the task bar.

[The Third Symphony – Hymn of the Undead, medium difficulty. Number of survivors is currently 4.]

[Task 1: Survive for seven days and seven nights. (Progress: Five days and five nights out of seven days and seven nights)]

[Task 2: Obtain the four races’ secret treasures. (Progress 2 out of 4) (This is a team mission)]

The time in the upper right corner was 3:00 pm.

There were only two days left.

He looked at Xia Chi and asked, “What clues did you find out there?”

Bai Lixin was still lying on the big red bed and was surrounded by roses. The whole look was very ambiguous.

Li Cancan’s face was a little red. Ever since Xia Chi said that to her, she felt that she could no longer face the two big bosses in front of her.

“According to the clues you gave us, we have been looking for people with ‘Emperor’ as a title and also have three-headed dogs at home.” Li Cancan turned her head to the side, “There are a total of three people with ‘Emperor’ in their names in the Imperial City; the Emperor, the Empress, and one who is the ‘Emperor of Heaven’.”

“The person we are looking for should be among the three.” She paused and explained, “The Empress is also male. I made a point of confirming that.”

“The emperor and the empress are both in the palace, and that other emperor has his own separate palace. As for the three-headed dog, I asked the people around me, but they said they had never seen any three-headed dog. That it is something that only exists in the mythical hell.”

Bai Lixin, “Who is the Emperor?”

“Oh, that ah.” Xia Chi added, “We asked the tavern owner, and she said the Emperor is a very virtuous human with a very long life.”

“No one knows exactly how long he has lived, but as far as anyone can remember, he has always been there.”

“There is also the fact that all three of them have studied magic.”

“By the way,” Xia Chi said, “it’s a coincidence that today is the Emperor’s birthday. The Emperor entertains the VIPs of the Imperial City on his birthday every year, and I heard that the Empress and the other Emperor will also come. We can take the opportunity to blend in and have a look.”

Bai Lixin, “Okay, let’s do that. You guys did a good job.”
