679: Chapter 92: Date A Live 679: Chapter 92: Date A Live When he woke up, the lights in the hotel room were still on, and Liu Zixing had slept like this all night.
Although it was already daytime outside and, unusually, good weather, the curtains in the room were all drawn, so the lights were still on to make it brighter.
He checked the time; it was almost three in the afternoon.
Liu Zixing didn’t expect to be so tired, directly missing lunchtime, and was now extremely hungry.
He quickly got up, took a thorough shower, and finally shaved the stubble that had grown over the past few days.
Although he couldn’t change his clothes, he thought it was still good to tidy himself up a bit.
The wound on his ear that he had injured last night had already solidified into a large scab.
Liu Zixing looked at it and shook his head, thinking it seemed more fitting not to have an ear there.
If he had ears, he might not have spent these years unable to listen to his mother and wife’s earnest advice, spending his days obsessed with gambling…
Since he couldn’t listen back then, he might as well not have them.
Now that he doesn’t, he seems unable to hear anything even though he wishes he could.
He thought about what he was going to do today, quickly tidied himself up, put his hat back on, checked out, and left the hotel.
The man at the front desk, busy reading the newspaper, was eagerly chatting with a woman wearing a skirt and jacket.
When he saw Liu Zixing wanting to check out, he wasn’t too enthusiastic and merely told him to leave the money at the front desk.
Liu Zixing didn’t mind; he glanced at the woman and felt with such beauty, she indeed deserved to be called a beauty, no wonder the hotel owner was so eager.
However, because he was so devoted to gambling, he wasn’t very interested in women or didn’t find them appealing.
Now that his life had turned upside down, he was even less likely to be interested, having a detached air as if he were an outsider seeing through worldly affairs.
As he pushed the door open and left, he vaguely heard the owner still speaking eagerly: “Miss Black Water, today is Christmas Eve; do you have time tonight…”
…
…
Although she was supposed to go to the tallest building in the city center, there was still plenty of time before Zi Xing needed to be there at midnight, so she directly told Zhuifeng not to rush it.
Before that, they could also wander around.
Understanding the young man’s mood, she also saw the newly transformed demon youth in the tribe.
Zi Xing thought that, upon being a demon, one should be a bit more flamboyant and free.
She saw a promising future for Zhuifeng, even though his potential was already limited, but that didn’t prevent the Greedy Wolf Clan’s young master from establishing a good connection with Zhuifeng.
On the plateau, there are countless clergy and lamas.
The Greedy Wolf Clan had long been on the plateau, naturally interacting more with them and being influenced by the Buddhist Sect’s thoughts over the years.
At Zi Xing’s stage, as a tribal priest, she naturally believed more in fate and reincarnation.
Karma arises and fades… Uncertainty persists.
“What is this?”
The bicycle stopped in front of a square, and Zhuifeng came over holding two servings of hot food.
Zi Xing asked curiously.
“Fried giant squid!
With exploding cheese inside!” Zhuifeng handed one to Zi Xing.
Zi Xing had noticed Zhuifeng’s little trick earlier when the vendor wasn’t paying attention; he swiftly snagged two servings and seemed to do it so often that he was skillful at it.
Zi Xing shook her head but didn’t take it, calmly saying, “Take it back.”
Zhuifeng was startled, thinking his actions hadn’t escaped Zi Xing’s eyes.
Such a beautiful and noble presence, casually imparting advanced magic techniques, she must be at least from an elite family in the demon world.
“I…
I’ll return the money in a few days.” Zhuifeng blushed, flustered, but his eyes were filled with longing.
“A wolf by nature is proud; remember that,” Zi Xing said with a gentle smile, finally accepting it and sounding a bit like a teacher to a student.
“I’ll return double!” Zhuifeng wasn’t just feeling guilty; he’s quite a carefree type.
He laughed but was already devouring the hot food in his hands.
Zi Xing smiled without speaking.
Everything has its cause and effect; today, Zhuifeng took something without paying, and someday he would repay it double, thus concluding this karma, which is naturally good.
This young earth wolf could prehend things so quickly, perhaps with heavenly assistance, understanding karma…
Even though he might not realize it, relying entirely on an intuitive understanding, it showed his profound Buddhist heart within.
Suddenly, she thought that although the Earth Wolf Bloodline is the lowest of the wolf bloodlines, Zhuifeng showed a good understanding of cultivation techniques.
Having found his subordinates and returning from the Penglai Conference, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring him back to the tribe for proper training.
Although there’s no possibility beyond a huge powerful monster, in today’s world of declining magic, a huge powerful monster is a near-top bat power.
For a demon tribe, it’s already a mainstay…
The tribe doesn’t lack precedents for accepting lower bloodlines.
Moreover, on the plateau where the Greedy Wolf Clan is located, due to the clan’s decline, there are more and more subordinate servants…
As she thought, Zi Xing suddenly asked softly: “Zhuifeng, you said you have no father or mother, always wandering; how long have you been settled in this city?”
“About ten years, I guess.” Zhuifeng responded without thinking.
Zi Xing asked, “Have you ever thought about leaving this city?”
Zhuifeng was stunned, looking up at Zi Xing, confused: “Leave here?”
Zi Xing smiled and said, “I was born on the plateau, where the land is vast and pulsates.
The human government has little control there, and with fewer people, it’s naturally easier to grow without so many concerns as a monster.
Why not give it a try?”
The plateau…
great mountains and waters, a wolf finds this environment like a dragon finds the sea.
Perhaps, it was just his nature’s pursuit of such an environment, so suddenly hearing this, Zhuifeng was already enchanted.
He knew Zi Xing was extending an invitation to him…
though he was clueless about interacting with a female he liked, it didn’t mean his legs wouldn’t move.
In the end, Zhuifeng still shook his head; Zi Xing bore a hint of ancient style, and speaking to her always felt a bit exhausting for Zhuifeng.
At that moment, inspiration struck, and he muttered, “The plateau may be good, but it is not my home…”
There were naturally more things tying him here.
Zi Xing was not too disappointed; she smiled faintly and didn’t pursue the topic, casually tasting a few bites of the fried giant squid before putting it down.
Being part of the Wolf Clan, eating meat isn’t a taboo, but this food contains too many unnecessary things added by humans, so sampling it was enough.
“Zhuifeng?”
Not far away, a teenager who appeared to be a high school student waved his arm and quickly walked over, acpanied by another girl of a similar age.
“Big brother!” Zhuifeng stood up abruptly…
It was Mo Xiaofei who had arrived.
Seeing his respectful demeanor, Mo Xiaofei, amused, said: “I told you not to do that…
huh, and who is this?”
“She…
she’s my friend.” Zhuifeng instinctively glanced at Zi Xing, noticing some furrowed brows, so he didn’t reveal her name.
“I see…” Mo Xiaofei rubbed his chin, gave Zhuifeng a meaningful look, and drew out his words.
Zhuifeng hurriedly said, “Big brother, it’s not what you think!”
Mo Xiaofei spread his palms innocently and said, “I wasn’t thinking anything!”
“Xiaofei, is this the friend you often talk about?” The girl beside Mo Xiaofei asked curiously.
Mo Xiaofei chuckled and said, “Yes, one of the new friends I met recently.
I’ll introduce you sometime…
Right, Zhuifeng, where are you headed now?”
“We…” Zhuifeng thought for a moment, finally saying: “We haven’t decided yet.”
Mo Xiaofei continued rubbing his chin, then glanced at the girl beside him…
his class president, seeing her smile knowingly, he directly said: “Then why don’t we go see a movie together?
I also have some questions to ask you.”
“This…” Zhuifeng hesitated, glancing again at Zi Xing.
Seeing Zhuifeng’s dilemma, Zi Xing graciously said, “You decide.”
“Alright then, big brother!” Zhuifeng decided, but his expression changed slightly, “I…
I don’t have any money.”
“Haha!” Mo Xiaofei laughed heartily: “It’s no big deal…
let’s go then, we can have a fan dinner after the movie.”
With that, Mo Xiaofei took Zhuifeng by the shoulder and walked a few steps, “But after dinner, it’s free time…
I say Zhuifeng, no wonder you’ve been hard to find these days, turns out you’ve been pursuing a girl?”
“No, it’s not like that!” Zhuifeng’s face flushed again.
If it weren’t for Mo Xiaofei being a recognized benefactor and big brother, Zhuifeng would’ve tackled him long ago…
“Haha, alright, alright, I won’t tease you.” Mo Xiaofei chuckled: “Anyway…
let’s have a big date adventure together!”
