The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 296: Chapter 282: You Hit It Off, So Why Not Give It a Try?

”He’s already broken through to 6-star. His future is limitless!”

”When you get to the Restricted Area, you must take good care of yourself. Don’t show off, and don’t try to be a hero in everything you do!”

”I’m certain that within three years, we can get Lin Yi to the right level, and within five, he’ll definitely ascend to the rank of Martial God!”

”As long as we hold out for five years, the crisis in the Restricted Area can be resolved. When that time comes, we two can go back to drinking wine, sipping tea, and talking about life. You should retire early, too!”

”Why don’t you just come to my Dragon Tiger Mountain? The environment is quiet and secluded, the air is fresh—it’s perfect for a comfortable retirement!”

After the Elder Celestial Master finished speaking,

Yi Nanshan smiled. ”Alright, it’s a deal then!”

”In five years, once the crisis in the Restricted Area is resolved, I’ll resign my post as Defender and come keep you company on Dragon Tiger Mountain!”

”Hahaha...”

The two men threw their heads back and roared with laughter.

They walked side by side toward the elevator.

...

「Late at night.」

The aberrant beast threat had not spread.

The cities were still a-bustle with their usual dazzling lights and vibrant nightlife.

「Songshan City.」

Chu Zhengxiong, Mo Yanfeng, and Qin Zhaoxue

were walking down a bustling, lively street.

Thanks to Qin Zhaoxue’s striking appearance, she constantly drew sideways glances from men.

Some were even completely mesmerized by her.

This caused one man to bump into an oncoming pedestrian, and the two of them immediately started cursing each other out.

Qin Zhaoxue was already used to this kind of situation.

Her natural beauty had once been a source of annoyance for her.

But having experienced it so many times, she no longer paid it any mind.

Chu Zhengxiong chuckled and shook his head. ”See that? All those guys see me and Mo Yanfeng as their love rivals!”

”Zhao Xue, I’m telling you, you should hurry up and find a boyfriend!”

”Anyone you have your eye on? How about I help set you two up?”

As soon as he said that, Qin Zhaoxue’s previously cold expression

instantly turned beet red.

”Captain Chu, what are you talking about? I—I haven’t even graduated from college yet. I’m in no hurry to get married off!”

”Who said anything about marriage? Before you get married, don’t you have to date someone first? See if you’re compatible, check out their character?”

”Oh, right. Would you mind dating someone two years younger than you?”

”Two years younger?” Qin Zhaoxue asked, blushing as she glanced at Chu Zhengxiong.

”That’s right, two years younger. But his talent in Martial Arts is excellent. Or rather, it’s even better than excellent!”

”He’s basically your junior. If you think it’s okay, I can help set the two of you up later!”

The person Chu Zhengxiong was talking about

was so obvious even a fool could guess who it was.

Mo Yanfeng smiled. For once, he didn’t retort to Chu Zhengxiong.

Instead, he nodded in agreement. ”Mm, I think they’d be good together. They’re a great match—he’s talented, she’s beautiful!”

”If it really works out, it’ll be quite the story, wouldn’t it?”

Chu Zhengxiong glanced at him. ”You figured out who I was talking about?”

”You practically read out his ID number. Who wouldn’t be able to guess?” Mo Yanfeng rolled his eyes.

While the two of them were talking,

the scorching blush on Qin Zhaoxue’s face had already spread to the base of her neck.

A glimmer of affection even surfaced in her eyes.

”So? If you’re not willing to date someone younger, I can just introduce you to some other people!”

”There are plenty of single men out there. If he’s not the one, we’ll just find another!” Chu Zhengxiong said with a laugh.

Before he could finish, Qin Zhaoxue grew anxious.

”Ah? No, I just...”

Seeing how quickly she became flustered,

Chu Zhengxiong and Mo Yanfeng exchanged a knowing smile. They both understood.

At that, Qin Zhaoxue quickly lowered her head, feeling as if her secret crush had just been exposed.

”There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s only natural for people to get married when they come of age!”

”You two aren’t children anymore. When it’s time to express your feelings, you should do it.

If you always keep it bottled up and don’t say anything, how is anyone supposed to know what you’re thinking?”

”If you agree, I’ll go have a chat with him later and see what he thinks!”

”If it works out, wouldn’t that just be one happy event on top of another?”

Hearing Chu Zhengxiong say this, Qin Zhaoxue blushed and mumbled, ”Captain Chu, how about we wait until after we solve this case...”

”Mm, that works too. Once the case is solved, I’ll set it up for you two!”

Chu Zhengxiong nodded with a smile.

And this time, Qin Zhaoxue didn’t refuse.

Instead, his figure kept appearing in her mind.

It was strange. Before the topic had been broached,

she hadn’t given it this much thought; the feelings were just buried deep inside.

But once Chu Zhengxiong brought it up,

her affections became like a flood, completely unstoppable.

Now, her mind was filled with his figure and his smiling face.

She couldn’t shake the images from her head no matter how hard she tried...

This made her cheeks, the tips of her ears, and her neck grow even hotter.

Even as she walked down the street,

she was tormented by the constant illusion that she was seeing him everywhere.

Suddenly, a loud BOOM came from up ahead.

”Ahhh... Someone’s been killed!”

Qin Zhaoxue immediately snapped out of her jumbled thoughts.

She followed Chu Zhengxiong and Mo Yanfeng as they ran toward the front.

By the time they pushed through the crowd and reached the scene,

they saw a young woman lying on the ground.

She had been smashed into a bloody, mangled pulp.

Her right arm and right leg, in particular, were stripped down to the white bone.

Seeing this,

Chu Zhengxiong’s expression darkened. ”That thing is out killing again!”

Qin Zhaoxue looked up at the surrounding buildings.

Suddenly, she spotted on a rooftop

a black shadow flash past.

”It’s there!”

After shouting, Qin Zhaoxue ran into the building.

”Zhao Xue? Old Mo, you stay here and keep an eye on things. I’ll go after her!”

After Chu Zhengxiong finished speaking,

he also hurriedly followed Qin Zhaoxue into the building.

When Chu Zhengxiong followed her into the building, he saw an elevator was already ascending.

Anxious, Chu Zhengxiong quickly pressed the button for the other elevator.

When the doors opened,

he rushed inside and headed for the top floor in pursuit.
