Washing Away Your Conceit Chapter 8

"Ding", the favorability of the monster and fox towards you has increased by 50 points, and the current favorability is: 100.

"Ding", the task of collecting information about monsters and foxes has been completed.

"Ding", the task of collecting information about the monster, the Hair-Eating Ghost, has been completed.

"Ding", the sweeper friend panel data No. 1689 was added successfully, the monster fox (favorability 100, the ultimate love is hate)

Chloe Chi ignored the system's noisy beeps and instead pulled Yayoi Abe's sleeves and ran at high speed through the forest at night. It wasn't until the sound of the fierce fighting behind them could no longer be heard that the two of them stopped breathing heavily and started walking slowly.

Chloe Chi threw away the broken hair belonging to the hair-eating ghost in her hand, and gasped: "Just now...it really scared me. I thought there was going to be a big melee!"

"Shimizu-san...you are so amazing!" Nolan Abe's eyes were bright and she even used honorifics when addressing her.

"Thank you. It was just a clever trick to get the two monsters together." Chloe Chi waved her hands and smiled awkwardly, "Ah haha... doesn't it look despicable?"

"How could it be!" Nolan Abe immediately retorted loudly and looked at her seriously, "My grandfather said that the most powerful person is not the person with the strongest spiritual power, but the person who knows how to use wisdom best. Shimizu is great!"

"If it were me, I would have been worrying about how to deal with two vicious monsters at the same time!"

The two people who were out of danger lowered their guard and started chatting as they hurried on.

While Chloe Chi was talking to Nolan Abe, he was looking at the system's Sidney illustrated book. Both the hair-eating ghost and demon fox cards were completely lit up, and his expression became much more relaxed for a moment.

It is mentioned in the Beginner's Guide that for common monster races, the system will generally only activate the favorability system for one of the monsters.

She was previously worried about how to light up the demon fox's illustrated book. After all, she didn't want to conquer this perverted fox, nor did she want to be cruel to the young demon. But I didn't expect it to be completed so easily, and even the task of sending food to ghosts was completed.

It's an unexpected surprise. It's worth it tonight.

By the time Chloe Chi and Nolan Abe walked out of the forest, it was already early morning.

This village was not as prosperous as the previous Liyue Village, and there were no dormitories in the village. The two had to spend money to find an ordinary family to stay temporarily.

After traveling all night, Nolan Abe, who looked tired, said with concern: "Qingshui, go to bed! Let's rest in this village for a while and start again tomorrow morning."

He had slept for a while before, but Chloe Chi stayed awake for half the night.

Chloe Chi yawned, nodded and said goodbye to Nolan Abe, and fell into a deep sleep without even eating.

After running around in the forest for two or three days, Chloe Chi slept very soundly, and Yayoi Abe did not bother her. When she woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.

With an empty stomach, Chloe Chi suddenly felt unbearably hungry, so she took out a biluo fruit from the system package and started chewing it.

While she was chewing, she observed the friend panel in the system. Xiaolu's column was always on. After these few days of separation, his level had rapidly increased to 14.

It seems that during the time they were apart, Xiaolu was also practicing very hard.

When she moved her eyes downward, she immediately paused.

Demon Fox (favorability 100, the ultimate love is hate), level 11.

Seeing this line of small words, Chloe Chi's eyes darkened.

There is nothing special about the friend panel of this system. Its only function is to record the current status of those monsters who have reached full favorability with her.

The friend panel will display their level changes and life status. If the column is darkened, it means that the monster is no longer alive.

The column belonging to the demon fox is particularly bright.

In other words, the demon fox who was tricked by her the night before yesterday not only survived the battle with the hair-eating ghost, but even broke through on his own. His level jumped from 8 to 11, which is one level higher than the current Chloe Chi. class.

Chloe Chi sighed and smiled bitterly: "What a difficult pervert..."

Even though he was now far away from the forest in the territory of the Demon Fox Clan, Chloe Chi couldn't guarantee whether the other party would still persevere in catching up.

It seemed that she couldn't stay in this village for long, so it was better to leave as soon as possible to avoid attracting monsters to the village because of her.

With this in mind, Chloe Chi packed her bags and prepared to go find Nolan Abe. As soon as Chloe Chi stood up with the package on her back, before she took two steps, the knot of the package suddenly untied, and the contents fell to the floor with a "rumbling" sound.

... Chloe Chi was already used to this kind of unlucky routine, so she tightened the package and tied it tightly without paying attention.

Who would have thought that as soon as she opened the door, she would bump into Yayoi Abe.

"Ouch!!!" Chloe Chi's head hit Yayoi Abe's chin, causing him to scream in pain.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't know you would suddenly appear at the door." Chloe Chi rubbed her red forehead and gave Abe an apologetic look.

Yayoi Abe touched her chin, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just heard something moving in your room, so I came to take a look."

Chloe Chi nodded, "Are you ready to go after breakfast?"

"Well... I came to see you for another thing." Yayoi Abe put down his hands and straightened his clothes.

"The owner of this house just found me and said that he hopes that we can do him a favor and will give us a generous reward afterwards. So I came to ask Qingshui, if you are not in a hurry, can we stay for a while?"

Chloe Chi smiled and nodded happily, "Okay! We have lived here for two days, so it is appropriate to help the villagers."

It shouldn't be a big deal, and it won't take too long.

When Yayoi Abe saw that she agreed, the two of them prepared to ask the villagers about their entrustment.

She just raised her foot and took two steps, when suddenly she was staggered by her left foot and her right foot and fell forward. Nolan Abe's expression tightened, and she subconsciously stepped forward to support her. Chloe Chi ran into his arms in an instant.

Nolan Abe's face immediately turned red when he reacted. Before he could have any charming thoughts, Chloe Chi stepped on his left foot, and another scream suddenly sounded out.

"Ouch!!!"

Chloe Chi quickly stood firm, clasped her hands and apologized to him: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Are you okay..."

She probably slept all day and all night, and was so confused that she couldn't even stand still...

Yayoi Abe shook her head with tears in her eyes, "Hey...it's okay, I just accidentally dropped it and hit my left foot when I was helping the villagers get a hoe this morning, that's why it hurts so much."

Hearing this, Chloe Chi couldn't help but mourn in silence for his dark face.

Nolan Abe limped her to another room while complaining to her about the bad luck this morning.

In the house, the villagers and their couples had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the arrival of Yayoi Abe and Chloe Chi, the couple immediately knelt down and prayed: "Milton-sama! Miko-sama! Please save my child!"

Chloe Chi's expression condensed, and she stepped forward to help them up, "Excuse me, what happened?"

The woman said with a look of worry and fear: "Miko-sama...it's a bird!"

"In the past month, the bird has often been flying around our house. My son is just six months old. We are worried that it is coming to snatch the child!" the couple said with worried faces.

Hearing this, Yayoi Abe raised his eyebrows and patted his chest: "It's just a bird! Don't worry, it will be fine if you leave it to me!" He has solved this kind of thing before.

Chloe Chi had also heard of the legend of the Guhuo Bird, but at this moment she could faintly notice that there was a faint black air lingering around the couple, so she reminded Nolan Abe in a low voice, "Abe, have you seen that there is something like this about them?" There is some dark energy..."

Nolan Abe was stunned for a moment, and then she gathered her spiritual power and opened her eyes to see. Sure enough, she saw something unusual about the couple.

"It's demonic energy! But it's not the aura of a bird..." Nolan Abe frowned and said in confusion, but deep down she was surprised by Chloe Chi's reaction.

Is the other party's spiritual perception already so powerful? You don't need to turn on your spiritual vision to see the evil spirit...

Seeing their serious expressions, the couple immediately asked nervously: "Two adults...is there anything wrong?"

"You are contaminated with evil spirits." Yayoi Abe frowned, "Has anything strange happened around you recently?"

Hearing that they were contaminated with evil spirits, the two of them looked a little scared, "Monster, evil spirits? Speaking of which, for more than a month, our family and the neighbors next door have been very unlucky for some reason, and big things happen every day. Accidents big and small."

"It's just a small thing, so we don't take it seriously."

After the man finished speaking, he thought for a while and added: "Ah! By the way, it seems that it was when the Guhuo bird appeared at our door that we started to have bad luck! It must be the fault of this hateful monster, Please two adults, please help us!"

Chloe Chi bit her lip and asked in a low voice: "Since Guhuo Bird has been lingering for a month, why hasn't he taken action yet?"

"This... Although the bird can steal human children, it does not bring unknown monsters." Nolan Abe also had a stern face, full of confusion.

There must be something wrong here.

At this time, a skinny little girl outside the door said softly: "Um...Mom, Gu Huoniao seems to have no ill intentions towards my brother..."

When the woman heard this, she looked up and said, "Xiao Zhi? What are you talking about?"

The little girl who looked eight or nine years old shrank in fear and continued to whisper: "When you were not at home that day, I saw a bird flying to the window of my brother's room. But it glanced at my brother , did nothing, and then flew to Auntie Zaomi’s yard next door..."

"Moreover, Xiaozhi discovered that although the bird often hangs around our house, it always looks at Hayami's house."

"How could this happen? I've seen that there are no children at home!" the girl's mother said in surprise.

Chloe Chi and Nolan Abe looked at each other and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Hearing these words, Xiaozhi looked scared. He seemed to have something to say, but he seemed very hesitant.

Seeing this, Chloe Chi smiled slightly, walked over, knelt down and touched her head, and secretly used spiritual power to comfort Xiaozhi: "What do you want to say? Don't be afraid, the witch sister will protect you."

Xiaozhi's stiff body gradually relaxed. She tightened Chloe Chi's sleeves and said, "Xiaozhi always sees a little girl in red clothes in Hayami's house through the window..."

"She looked very angry and angry, and she often cried. Xiaozhi told the adults, but the adults said that Xiaozhi had seen it wrong... Xiaozhi assured the miko that I really didn't see it. wrong!"
