Chapter 66: Why Isn’t There a Washing Machine in the Classroom?

“No!”
The girl suddenly raised her voice.

“What do you mean, no?”
Xu Zhi suddenly turned his head.
In order not to attract Feng Yi’s attention, he also pulled the girl behind the door.

‘That’s right, what do I mean, no?’

The girl also regretted it a little.
The words had just popped out of her mouth without thinking.

From Xu Zhi’s perspective, she had no relationship with this zombie.

But the problem was, whether it was Guan Qing’s instructions or her own selfish motives, she couldn’t let Xu Zhi, a member of the Demon Suppression Division, take Feng Yi down now.

Besides, according to Feng Yi’s combat power at the riverside last night, she really doubted whether Xu Zhi could beat him.

Xu Zhi said he had new equipment.
Who knew what that new equipment was? Maybe it was just some new type of saber or gun.
Was that kind of thing really useful against Feng Yi, this invulnerable zombie?

“Well, I…”
The girl stammered, and could only look at Xu Zhi with pleading eyes.

‘Come on, Bai Ling! Make up a reason!’

But the girl, who was not good at lying, had a blank mind and could only look at him with pleading eyes.

“You knew?”
Xu Zhi glanced at Feng Yi, who was not moving, without a trace.
“You’ve had contact with him?”

‘What the hell!’

‘Why is this blockhead so sharp in a place like this?’

‘She hadn’t even said a complete sentence, and he had already guessed most of it.’

“Okay, yes.
My master told me to deal with him before you.”
The girl hung her head in dejection.
For some reason, she would always lose to this kind of look from Xu Zhi.

“Are you crazy, or is your master crazy?”
Xu Zhi chopped the girl’s forehead with the side of his hand.
“You, you’re going to deal with him?”

“Just leave, and let the professionals handle it.”

Xu Zhi was about to walk into the classroom without taking no for an answer.

“Don’t!”
The girl suddenly hugged his waist, holding him tightly and not letting him in.

“Actually, he’s seeking death himself!”

“What?”
Hearing this, Xu Zhi stopped in his tracks.

“You’re saying he’s seeking death?”

“What’s going on?”

‘There’s a chance!’

Seeing this, the girl hurriedly recounted the series of events from the library to the lake.
Of course, she also omitted the part that would expose her snake demon’s true form.

“In that case…”
Xu Zhi pinched his chin, and suddenly felt that the things that had felt wrong before were now connected.

Feng Yi was supposed to have died in the Fengdu incident 27 years ago, but for some reason, he had turned into a zombie and had reappeared 27 years later, while at the same time beginning to hunt down demon slayers and demons everywhere.

Hunting demons was easy to explain.
Because he was a very outstanding demon slayer in his life and had sacrificed himself on the front lines of the fight against demons.
It was understandable that he would hunt demons out of a demon slayer’s instinct in a state of confusion.

But why would he indiscriminately hunt down demon slayers?

After Gu Xiyan was attacked, she had mentioned that he had once said the word “traitor.”
Perhaps…

Xu Zhi’s eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn’t believe the conclusion he had come to.

‘Feng Yi hadn’t died at the hands of demons at all back then! He had been betrayed and killed by a fellow demon slayer!’

Last night, they had detected a large amount of demonic energy erupting in the city village in the west of the city.
But when he had arrived, he had only seen his master, Xiao Mochen, and the nine sword marks.

This meant that his master had encountered his attack last night, and at the same time, there were a large number of unknown demons present.

With Xiao Mochen’s ability, he was fully capable of either sending this 27-year-old ghost to the afterlife on the spot, or leaving a few demon corpses.

The only explanation was that Xiao Mochen had not fought those demons and had also deliberately let Feng Yi go.

Feng Yi had killed many demons during this period.
Those unknown demons were very likely to be hunting Feng Yi, so…

‘Xiao Mochen had even let Feng Yi go from the hands of those demons?!’

As for why Feng Yi had suddenly regained his humanity and rationality?

It was very likely the work of his master, Xiao Mochen!

Don’t look at that Daoist as being old and disrespectful and never having a proper shape all day.
As his apprentice, Xu Zhi was very clear about his abilities.

He was a guy who could create a total lunar eclipse with the power of a mortal.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
The storm of thoughts in Xu Zhi’s mind only lasted for a moment.
He looked down at the girl who was hugging his waist like a pendant and suddenly blushed.

‘This girl, why doesn’t she know the difference between men and women at this age?’

‘What’s the propriety of hanging on his waist?’

“But you have to promise me that you’ll run away at the first sign of danger.”

“Okay! I promise you!”

The girl agreed without hesitation.
Fortunately, she had bought some time to think things through.

As for running away at the first sign of danger, she didn’t even listen to Guan Qing’s words.
How could she listen to you, Xu Zhi?

“And, can you let go of me now?”
Xu Zhi struggled to pull away the girl’s arms.
Who knew how this girl had such a strong grip.
“You’re almost 20.
You still don’t know your limits…”

This person was nagging like an old woman.

“Oh…”
The girl pouted and let go of Xu Zhi.

His body temperature still lingered in her embrace, and the familiar scent of cedarwood lingered at the tip of her nose.

The girl didn’t know why, but this smell always made her feel at ease.

Perhaps it was out of a snake’s instinct.
She would subconsciously crave Xu Zhi’s body temperature—this guy was a demon slayer, and while he was full of vitality, his body was also wrapped in a baleful aura.
His body temperature was much higher than a normal person’s.

To the girl, he was practically an excellent hot water bottle.

“Gu Xiyan, don’t evacuate the crowd for now.
Notify Zhou Xuan to take control of the scene directly.”
Xu Zhi pressed his headset, and his words were transmitted through the radio to Gu Xiyan, who had already left.

“The annihilation operation is temporarily suspended.
Let’s observe for now.
Also, notify Lu Qingtian to prepare to activate the Xuan Shu sequence.”

Since his master had deliberately let him go, it meant that he had calculated that there was something on Feng Yi, or in other words, that it would be useful to keep Feng Yi.

Perhaps something would be stirred up from the calm surface of the water from Feng Yi.

For example, who was the demon slayer traitor he had mentioned? Who on earth had used the Spirit-Transferring secret technique to turn him into a zombie?

Then he might as well see what would happen.
With him here and the Xuan Shu sequence ready to be activated, even if Feng Yi suddenly went crazy, he was confident that he could control him in an instant.

He was now in a state of planning and commanding, but what about the girl?

The girl had finally realized what she had just done.

Although she would subconsciously interact with Xu Zhi in the same way they had as children, and she didn’t really care about those more intimate physical contacts.

But!

The word “but” was very wonderful.
Whenever this word appeared, everyone would know that things were about to take a turn.

But! The girl, under the gazes of all the students in the corridor, finally realized that she seemed to be a girl now.

In public, hugging Xu Zhi like that was indeed not very appropriate.

‘Maybe I should find a washing machine to crawl into first? A crack in the ground would also do…’

Finally, after the girl had tried to find a crack in the floor tiles that she could crawl into for the seventeenth time, the class bell rang.
