After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 390 - : 314. Principal White Cat Lolita, Dark Shadow Exposed?_2
Chapter 390: 314. Principal White Cat Lolita, Dark Shadow Exposed?_2
“Eh…”
“Eh???”
It took Taige a good few seconds to react, suddenly jumping up from Bailuo’s embrace, eyes shaking:
“How could a cat girl who’s barely 1.4 meters tall possibly become a good wife and a good mother, she can’t even take care of a baby, can she? And what the hell is ‘Bride Training’? If I’m not mistaken, the ‘Teacher’ Bailuo mentioned refers to the team captain!”
“How come I didn’t know you were going to be the captain’s wife?”
Shocked, Taige grabbed two pan-fried dumplings and threw them into his mouth to calm himself down.
Bailuo’s cheeks flared red as she played with her smooth white cat tail, saying, “Teacher once promised me to retire and go home together to live out our old days.”
“Ah! That definitely means he wants you to be his wife!”
Taige’s eyes widened, “How come none of us knew about this?”
“Because this is a secret between me and Teacher,” Bailuo confidently declared.
The true story behind this was known by only one person throughout the Great Mystery Continent.
Titled “And you, you are my true hero,” was a scene.
On a park bench beneath the setting sun, facing his student in swordsmanship, the true feelings of the White Cat Swordsman, Bailuo, were revealed, as someone clicked Option A:
“It’s not impossible to retire and grow old together with the captain’s beloved student…”
Before the scenario’s voiceover could finish, a bolt of lightning struck the night sky outside the window.
Everything went black.
After someone repaired the machine and logged back into the game, they found the scenario had ended.
The original latter half of the sentence, “but only after we reach the summit of the World Tree and defeat the Demon King,” was lost forever.
As a result, Bailuo only heard the agreeable first half.
“Could you taste the dishes for Teacher first, and see how they are?”
Bailuo’s voice was tender as she served Taige, wiped his greasy fingers with a napkin after grabbing dumplings, and then placed chopsticks in his hands, saying:
“You haven’t forgotten how to use these, have you? If not, there are forks and knives.”
“Uuuu, I also want a wife like Lady Bailuo! No! I not only want to cuddle with Lady Bailuo but also want to enter her body!”
Taige, never having received such care, especially from a petite, beautiful silver-haired cat girl, was moved to tears.
But that joke turned Bailuo’s face dark as she angrily twisted Taige’s ear, “If you dare to do that, I won’t let you off the hook! I am Teacher’s future wife, and my body belongs to him already.”
“Uuuu, the loyal and cute Lady Bailuo faithful to the captain is so adorable; no wonder she hasn’t been kicked out, unlike a useless tiger like me, even as a Five-star Character, I still received a dismissal contract.”
“That’s Teacher’s gentle side; he didn’t want you to sacrifice yourselves in the World Tree,”
Bailuo explained seriously, somewhat angrily.
“Speaking of the captain, I have something I want to show you,”
While Taige devoured the food on the table, his hands searched his pockets, pulling out a half-eaten piece of raw meat, a string of large green grasshoppers, a bunch of worms, mixed with a round, crystal clear Recording Stone.
“You normally eat these kinds of things?”
“Yes, yes, the food Lady Bailuo makes is really delicious,”
“I think having you taste-test is kind of pointless.”
Bailuo stood with one hand on her hip, the other holding the Recording Stone, “The thing you wanted to show me, it’s this, isn’t it?”
“Exactly, you really are Lady Bailuo!”
“I’ve already retired from being an adventurer; you’ll surpass my abilities in the future; no need to use that appellation anymore,”
Bailuo shook her small head, seeming extremely resistant to the title.
The “Lady Bailuo” who stubbornly imitated the teacher, scowling and being rude to everyone, preferring to persuade others with a sword, was now a thing of the past, a dark history she wished not to recall.
“Hurry up, let’s look.”
Under Taige’s urging, Bailuo, with an air of resignation, activated the Recording Stone.
With her mature adult mindset, not many things could interest her anymore.
But she would play along with Taige, appearing slightly surprised.
After all, Taige was one of her few friends, who still today visited as a guest; she had to give her face.
Bailuo infused a thread of magic power into the Recording Stone, and an illusory screen instantly popped up.
The background was a pitch-black forest, the viewpoint aimed at the night sky slightly ahead.
“Mondale Tree, Gugu Grass, very typical of the tenth floor of the Great Mystery Continent.”
Although Bailuo was young, her judgment was exceedingly precise. She glanced briefly and knew the recording came from the tenth floor.
She found nothing of interest within it.
Should she compliment the beauty of the trees or the loveliness of the night sky?
Taige had changed too, from that Tiger Warrior who only liked to eat and fight bravely, into a mature adult capable of appreciating the night sky and forests.
Being a mature adult was very important to Bailuo.
At not even 1.4 meters tall, she had to perform better and be more mature than average people to qualify as a suitable wife.
Otherwise, adventurers would surely mock her, saying she was just a half-grown child, totally unfit for her teacher.
“Sigh, just look at the night sky in the recording and try to improve your mood a bit.”
Just as Bailuo was thinking this, a sword light burning with Black Flame, hundreds of meters high, appeared out of nowhere.
That power made one shudder even through the illusory screen, as if death was only a step away.
The sword light devoured a large swath of the forest, as though it was about to tear apart the space itself.
Bailuo froze, her cat tail quietly resting on the couch, her violet pupils reflecting the black flame sword light.
Her eyes, unblinkingly staring at the illusory screen.
Her usually unfluctuating chest now had a noticeable curve.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Bailuo exclaimed in a lost voice, “Taige, it’s the teacher, the teacher is definitely there, I can’t be wrong!”
“Which city’s World Tree is the closest to enter the tenth floor, if not close enough, let’s enter from the World Tree in Cyan City!”
Bailuo’s words suddenly increased, she hurriedly entered her room, took out two beautifully exquisite white long swords from under the bed, and placed them crossed on her back, seemingly ready to leave immediately.
“Hold on, aren’t you being too hasty?”
Taige’s mouth was all greasy, “The tenth floor of Great Mystery Continent just closed three days ago, you can’t get in now!”
“Don’t worry about that, I have a way.”
“Ah? You’re not going to use that item, are you?”
Bailuo’s expression remained calm, noncommittal.
She pondered for a moment, slightly calming her mood, before she said:
“We need to head to the city from which this recording originated, also, whether or not the owner of the sword light is the captain, we need to keep this news under wraps.”
“Why?” This time, it was Taige’s turn to be baffled.
Bailuo’s expression turned grave:
“Judging by the strength of that sword light, if it’s the teacher, his power seems to be damaged, only at Light Rank.
The mysterious assailant who framed the teacher and caused his disappearance three years ago is definitely more than Light Rank!
In case that person learns of the teacher’s existence, they might strike again, so we must keep this news secret, not letting more people know!”
Additionally, Bailuo had a personal motive.
She wanted to secretly retire with her teacher and live the peaceful life they had agreed upon.
She had saved up plenty of Gold Coins, enough for the two of them for a lifetime. As for things like climbing the World Tree to challenge the Demon King, she would leave that to the genius adventurers in the Royal Capital.
If the teacher’s strength had really dropped to Light Rank… A small thrill of joy emerged in Bailuo’s heart; even if the teacher disagreed, she might also be able to push a little harder.
“Indeed, as expected of Lady Bailuo, you think far ahead!”
Taige wiped his mouth, “I’m done eating, to White Dove City, let’s go!”
“Eh, White Dove City?”
Bailuo murmured, “This city feels somewhat familiar.”
After thinking for a while, a spark of insight flashed through her mind—it was the city where the adventurer Lin Da, who made it to the Adventurer’s Weekly by leading the Rock Squad at level 20+ to conquer an Epic Monster, resided.
She had sent an invitation there not long ago, but had yet to receive a reply.
