Chapter 319: Chapter 153: Want to Fall in Love, Lin Baici_1
"If something happens again, I’ll be your maid for a month, washing clothes, folding blankets, and cooking; I’ll do whatever you say!"
Xia Hongyao was also ready to throw caution to the wind.
"No, I’ve got PTSD from maids now; just hearing those two words makes me want to break out in hives."
Lin Baici felt he would never be impulsively attracted to girls in maid outfits ever again.
All because of that crazy maid!
She’d killed one of his fetishes!
"Why do I get the feeling you enjoyed yourself quite a bit?"
Xia Hongyao eyed Lin Baici suspiciously, "And who was it that kissed that maid in the end? Do you know? I was scared to death at the time, afraid that maid would bite your tongue off!"
High Ponytail wasn’t joking; she had gripped her knife tightly, ready to erupt and attack the mad maid, coming to Lin Baici’s aid.
"..."
Embarrassed, Lin Baici quickly changed the subject: "You can cook?"
"What kind of question is that? I’ve got over 30 signature dishes, enough to keep you from eating repeats for a month!"
Xia Hongyao huffed proudly.
"Give me a chance to try them!"
Lin Baici rubbed his stomach, his interest in gourmet food growing.
"Call me when you have time, I’ll prepare the ingredients in advance!"
Xia Hongyao rolled up her sleeves, eager to showcase her exquisite culinary skills: "I’ll have you know, despite my sister’s big name at the Security Bureau, she can’t cook at all; she’d have starved if not for me!"
"Would you dare to say that to your sister?"
Lin Baici couldn’t help but laugh.
"Er!"
Xia Hongyao stiffened, then punched Lin Baici softly in the ribs: "Can’t we just chat happily? It’s not illegal to brag, is it?"
"Haha!"
Lin Baici suddenly reached out and flicked Xia Hongyao’s forehead.
"Hey, you hit my head again?"
Xia Hongyao lunged and clung onto Lin Baici’s back, her legs crossed and wrapped around his waist; her right hand then strangled his neck from behind, while her left hand locked onto her right wrist, a cross choke, death grip.
"I’ve said it before, flicking the forehead makes one dumber; how am I supposed to rely on my intelligence to make a living in the future?"
As a child, High Ponytail had often been flicked on the forehead by Xia Hongmian, so she overreacted to this gesture, mainly because she believed if she had been flicked less during those years, she could have been a contender for Great Detective Xia, on par with Holmes.
"You could earn a living with your strength!"
Lin Baici teased, "You’ve got Force Speed Double A, after all!"
Even though Xia Hongyao had him in a chokehold, High Ponytail didn’t put much force into it; it wasn’t painful at all. However, there was one issue: Xia Hongyao’s position forced the back of his head right against High Ponytail’s chest.
Very soft.
"Relying on strength is too low; I want to lead a team, purify rules’ corruption with wisdom, and become the Nine Provinces Dragon Wing."
Xia Hongyao had been working towards this goal since she was seven years old.
Running every day, strength training, combat...
For a full fifteen years, she never missed a day. Even now, Xia Hongyao kept up her routine, though she reduced the intensity to make time for detective shows.
"You can do it!"
Lin Baici encouraged.
On hearing this, Xia Hongyao quivered, a mix of trepidation and anticipation in her voice: "You really think I can?"
High Ponytail had been discouraged too many times by her sister; if not for her strong will, she would have already given up on becoming a God Hunter.
The few times she had worked with Lin Baici, High Ponytail grew to admire, envy, and even slightly idolize him. Thus, his words gave her a flutter of excitement.
"Definitely!"
On the battlefield, Xia Hongyao was a genius; she didn’t need to think, just relied on instinct to beat many people.
In a primitive society, she would have been the top hunter.
And her physique was exceptional, not in the sense of being bulky, but in terms of physical fitness, akin to a prerequisite for becoming a soccer star—sturdiness.
No matter how harshly tackled or fouled, she wouldn’t suffer severe injuries, and if she did get hurt, she’d recover quickly, maintaining a high attendance rate all year.
Xia Hongyao had just such a constitution. While everyone benefitted from a Meteorite Coin, High Ponytail’s physical enhancement was bound to be higher than that of most God Hunters.
And the most important aspect was Xia Hongyao’s good nature, perhaps naïveté, as she didn’t understand mockery or derision. She dealt with others honestly, making it easy for her to trust and gain many friends.
If Lin Baici were to explore the God’s Ruins, he would definitely bring Xia Hongyao along, because he dared to entrust his back to her and trusted that she could defend it.
"Hehe!"
Xia Hongyao chuckled joyfully, her mouth wide with a grin like a Sled Dog that got its favorite food.
She hopped off Lin Baici’s back and patted his shoulder forcefully: "You’ve got better judgment than my sister!"
"To tell the truth, your sister is too intimidating!"
Lin Baici had only met Xia Hongmian twice, but each time his heart raced, feeling as if she saw through him with just a few words.
"Of course, even Dragon Level big shots don’t dare to breathe heavily in front of her!"
Xia Hongyao began to list the wrongs her sister had done: "You have no idea how miserably she bullied me when I was a kid!"
The two hailed a taxi, chatted idly, and hastened to the Dragon and Beauty Bar. Xia Hongyao then drove Lin Baici back to school.
In front of the school gates.
"Hey, Little Linzi, why don’t you quit school? Wouldn’t it be more fun to break into the God’s Ruins every day?"
Xia Hongyao thought she had a lot of fun with Lin Baici.
"How many God’s Ruins do you think there are for you to break into?"
Lin Baici rolled his eyes.
As soon as meteorites bearing God’s Ruins fell, the Security Bureau’s branches across all locations would send God Hunters to purify them.
