Chapter 19: Family Teacher Seven

  Spread out five fingers towards the dazzling colors in the sky, sunlight pours through the gaps between the fingers and spills down on the face, casting a blurry halo that is cut off by the swaying tree shadows.

  He narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself in a toneless voice.

  "Is this kind of life... real? Or is it just a perfect illusion created by the system?"

  A hand slapped down on his head, and a very familiar voice rang out.

  "Are you slacking off? Nana is looking for you."

  Liu Dao Xiao's voice was awkward, but it made Lu Yi, who had been somewhat at a loss, smile slightly.

  "Don't call me if you know I'm slacking off, can't you just help me out instead?"

  He resolutely refused to admit he was worried about him, and just gave Lü a white eye.

  "When I'm done with this chore, watch out or I'll take care of that useless brother of yours."

  He stood up and patted off the blades of grass that had stuck to his clothes, stretched his waist in a very perfunctory manner.

  "Alright," then turned around, "You come and help too, Gui."

  Liu Dao's eyes quietly watched Xiu who was smiling, and he also brought up a smile.

  "Good."

  The days returned to calm, and Lü thought about the messy plot, sighing. Even if he knew the original story, it was really not similar to the development of this world.

  Then, let's just shrug it off and take things one step at a time.

  Walking on the street of Hebei, thinking which supermarket sells cheaper and fresher fruit. After all, buying fruit in Japan is not cheap at all. Compared to C country, the price is so high that every time I buy fruit, I feel a little painful.

  Just as he was a bit distracted, a small figure rushed out from the corner and collided with him, who didn't have time to dodge.

  Although he crashed into himself, probably because the other person was just a kid, due to the height difference, Lu didn't get hurt much, but instead, he himself fell backwards uncontrollably due to the reaction force.

  The conditioned reflex held him back, and with a bit of effort, the child didn't fall down, but instead fell into Lü's arms.

  Looking at the silver little head in her arms, Lu tilted her head and said, "Ah, it's still a foreign kid?"

  At this moment, Lu hadn't even had time to relax his guard when he keenly sensed the knife wind coming from behind him. With a swift flash, the knife that was attacking him from behind missed its mark.

  Ritsu looked up at the newcomer, and that dazzling silver hair and the double-edged sword in his hand made Ritsu's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

  Even buying fruit can run into sissy boys, Lv deeply sighed that his magnetic field was indeed a waste.

  Squaro narrowed his eyes at the young man who dodged his attack, although he hadn't used his full strength just now, but being able to dodge his attack was no ordinary person.

  At the top of his lungs, Skuwaaro issued a warning: if he was an innocent bystander, he would let him go.

  "This kid is someone Peng Ge Lie's assassination squad needs to take care of. If you know what's good for you, get out of here quickly and forget what you saw. I can spare your life, boy."

  Lü was very clear about Skuwa's strength and rich combat experience. Even if he could hold on for a while, he would absolutely not be his opponent.

  He had thought that one less thing would be better than one more and was just about to agree when the system's voice rang out.

  "Player triggers random quest, protect this boy. Quest success gains ability to communicate with animals, failure only wakes up for one hour every day."

  The ability to communicate with animals? A hint of interest flashed across his eyes. The system has become more and more generous, huh.

  Lü bowed his head and gently patted the child's head, saying softly, "Do you have somewhere to go? If so, go ahead and leave first. I'll be here."

  The silver-haired child suddenly lifted his head, with an expression of utter incredulity.

  "You want to help me? You're no match for him."

  "And besides... I have nowhere else to go."

  "Alright, you go find a safe place on the side first, wait for me for a bit, I'll take you home."

  The boy's eyes, like amethysts, widened slightly as he gazed silently at him, and finally nodded.

  As he watched the boy run back, Squall was about to chase after him when a smiling youth blocked his way.

  "Sorry, that boy is someone I want to protect, I won't let you go."

  Skuwa's eyes narrowed dangerously. "I gave you a chance, but since you don't know what's good for you, I'll kill you too!"

  The knife in his hand swiftly swung towards him.

  "Clang!"

  Squall was shocked to see that his sword had somehow been entwined with a vine, and when he tried to cut it off, the plants around him seemed to come alive, rushing towards him at the boy's call.

  Damn it, what's going on?

  Is it an illusion?

  No, no, it's not right.

  Squall dodged the swishing branches and carefully avoided the extremely fast and sharp leaves, but due to their sheer number, his sword was entwined by the vines and couldn't be used, and he ended up getting scratched in several places.

  Look at the young man again, he can't even get close to him!

  Damn it, this place is full of plants everywhere, and at this rate, I won't even be able to hurt him myself, let alone find that little devil.

  What in the world is this kind of fighting style!

  Skullcandy let out a low growl and backed away several meters.

  "Wait for me!" Skuwa shouted loudly and quickly left with a few swift movements.

  Lü looked regretfully at the direction where Skuwa had disappeared. He still wanted to practice this skill, but he ran away...

  But this ability is unexpectedly useful. Being able to see S-san running away from the scene is truly ————

  Cool, crooked, crooked.

  Smiling, he turned around to find that little silver-haired devil, then went up and pounced.

  "Let's go, we're going home."

  Taking the boy's hand, Lü gently rubbed that exceptionally soft silver hair, and comfortably narrowed his eyes.

  The boy heard Lu's gentle words of "let's go home" and his defensive expression unknowingly softened.

  Feeling the gentle and intimate movements on his head, the boy's purple crystal-like eyes flashed with a hint of attachment.

  The warmth from her palm made him involuntarily clasp his hand around hers, tightly and forcefully.

  As if saying, never let go again.

  The law led the boy to walk slowly on the way home, the warm sunlight of the setting sun shone gently on the big and small figures, casting a long shadow behind them.

  "Hey, I'm Ritsu, Tada Ritsu. What's your name?"

  The boy whispered the name of the law in his heart, and after a long time, a clear and tender voice with a hint of childishness echoed.

  "Bailan. Jesso."

  Hehe, Bailan's children shoes are really cute, pounce and rub~

  Now Bai Lan shouldn't be this age, let's just ignore this issue, the plot needs it...
