Valkyrie Growth Observation Diary

Chapter 31 The True and False Temptation ([-])

"hiss--"

Lin Zuzu gasped in pain, she didn't know that cleaning the wound was far more painful than being injured.

It's no wonder, after all, the previous few times she was seriously injured, she passed away as soon as her eyes were smeared.

And when Yi Tingxie went crazy...

To be honest, it's really not that painful.

Li Qin gently applied gauze on her and fixed it with medical tape.

Although in a few hours, the wound may not even leave a trace.

"I'll take you back later." Yi Tingxie said.

"Ah, I can go directly to the team."

Lin Zuzu looked at the current time - 6:45, the journey will take almost half an hour, even if he goes home, he won't be able to rest for too long.

"You just need to be in the team before 2:00 this afternoon." Li Qin calculated the lack of sleep time for the girl, and gave a relatively sufficient limit.

"I don't feel particularly tired..." Lin Zuzu lowered his eyes, feeling that not only did he not help, but he even made a lot of trouble.

"Only when you have a good rest can training achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Yes, senior." Seeing this, Lin Zuzu stopped insisting.

When he got home, Lin Zuzu unexpectedly found that Bai Jiu got up and was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron.

"Oh, you're back."

He poked his head out when he heard the sound, and his white fox ears trembled slightly with his movements.

A scent wafted out of his nostrils, and Lin Zuzu felt a huge sense of hunger instantly, and the calories provided by the energy bar had already been exhausted.

"what have you done?"

"Lean pork porridge, and then I bought meat buns and egg yolk siu mai."

Bai Jiu put on insulated gloves and served hot porridge and other food, and brought bowls, chopsticks and spoons, acting like a master.

Going with the flow and being at peace with the situation has always been his code of conduct.

In the human world for a hundred years, what he focuses on is a person with a good attitude and strong adaptability.

"But the porridge has to be cooked in advance, right? How do you know I'll be back at this time?" Lin Zuzu asked inarticulately while brushing his teeth.

"Hey, I just can't sleep, I suddenly want to eat, it's just a coincidence." Bai Jiu's face was hot and he quickly denied it.

In fact, he knew in his heart that even if Lin Zuzu didn't come back at this point, he would still keep a portion for one person.

Of course, Lin Zuzu didn't ask the question "why is the amount for two people".

She just laughed lightly, counting it as her approval of his answer.

Although lean meat porridge is not difficult to make, Bai Jiu cooked it really delicious, which surprised Lin Zuzu.

I thought that the Yaozu were all ruthless and blood-drinking, but I didn't expect their craftsmanship to be pretty good.

"What's that expression on your face? Huh? You don't think we monsters catch mice and eat them every day, do you?" Bai Jiu said angrily.

"No, no, you are beautiful and kind, and you all drink dew." Lin Zuzu, who was soft-mouthed by others, quickly denied it.

"The current human world is dominated by the human family, and we scattered demons can only choose to blend in."

"Then are there any other demons near our house?"

She has no spiritual power, and cannot rely on perception to distinguish foreign races.

Our... home?

Bai Jiu suddenly felt in a good mood.

He has been away from the word for too long.

In the past hundred years, he occasionally got along with humans, and the longest relationship even lasted for 40 years.

It's just that after he sent away his best friend before the sick bed, he made up his mind never to get along with any ordinary human beings again.He really couldn't bear to see them old and haggard.

Just like that day at the bar, even if those human girls scanned the QR code and sent friend requests, he would not pass because——

Humans are too fragile.

They don't have an infinite lifespan, and they can easily die from even minor injuries or diseases.

It's just... the girl in front of her seems... different.

Although she is so thin and weak now, he can feel the vitality contained in her body, which is a vigorous and primitive force.

Plus, she's funny.

"No?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Lin Zuzu thought it was because he couldn't remember.

"Yes, but I'm not familiar with them, they're not the same kind."

"Is that so..."

After eating and drinking enough, Lin Zuzu felt a little sleepy.

"Are you still going to work today?" Bai Jiu asked casually as he cleaned up the dishes.

"Well, in the afternoon, they asked me to come back and sleep for a while." She yawned.

"Ah?" Bai Jiu had a look of disappointment visible to the naked eye.

"Do you have any plans?"

"Didn't you say before that you want to know more? I thought, I can take the task, and then we will work together, and the reward will be shared proportionally."

"Okay, I will tell you in advance if there is no task any day."

Only then did Bai Jiu chuckle.

Lin Zuzu felt a little dazed for a while, she had an illusion——

Has this fox demon become different from before?It seems... more lively.

Is it because of wearing a mask for too long to perform in that calm state of being an elder?

Perhaps, this is his true character?

However, how could such a weak self help him?Those who can complete the organization's bounty task should also be top-notch experts, right?

Why did his attitude suddenly change so much?
Is it just because I have his handle in my hands?But I have already said that I will not expose him.

Or, what's on me...

Thoughts stopped here, feeling the softness of the bed, the girl fell into a deep sleep.

Maybe it was because of being too sleepy, Bai Jiu noticed that she didn't close the door tightly in a daze, so he walked over and tried to close the door for her.

He saw the girl's sleeping face through the crack of the door, and asked the same question as her.

Why would I unconsciously let go of my defenses?

She is not a very beautiful person, at most she can only be considered beautiful.

Not a very powerful person either, he could kill her without even lifting a finger.

Is it because of her weakness that I don't think she poses any threat?

No, she used up all the chips in her hand, and even disregarded her own life to finally defeat me...but she easily handed over the victory.

She just said—

"Okay, you can stay."

Unlike those crazy admirers, after she achieved her goal, she let go gently, no longer longing or possessing.

No, it's not.

She has thirst, she has always thirsted for bloody revenge.

Put yourself at risk, at all costs.

But even with such ugly intentions driving her actions, why do I still think she is beautiful?

The 300-year-old fox demon pondered for a moment, and finally looked into his heart and thought of the answer.

Because... Her heart is really small, so small that she can only pretend to be involved in this one thing, and she doesn't think about everything else.

I can't help but wonder if...

I mean if...

Is it me in that little heart?
If me and my three tails happened to fill this heart, would she...

Will you bet this incomparably beautiful emotion on me?
It's like a close friend who gave up longevity just to grow old with that woman.

Just like... father and mother.

In front of my tombstone, will she also be wet by the heavy rain?

Oh, what are you thinking... But she is only a human being...

Bai Jiu smiled self-deprecatingly, and gently closed the door.
