Strange Tales: You're an Official, but you're raising a bunch of Demonessess? - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: A little notebook to write it down! I’m careful and vindictive!

“Yeah~.”

Bai Yu smiled upon hearing this, refraining from commenting on Sister Dragon’s obedience.

He didn’t boast about not needing help, just graciously accepted and said, “Thank you, Long Zhi, for your concern~.”

“Exams take a long time! You’re here so early~. What if I don’t come out early?” Bai Yu asked gently.

“It’s okay, I can wait,” replied Long Zhi.

“Is that so…” Bai Yu mused, wondering how a demon could be so cute. “Young master, did Long Zhi get into trouble just now?” She asked, expressing concern about her actions.

Bai Yu, recalling the recent encounter with a clown, asked, “Did you kill him?”

“No,” Long Zhi shook her head.

Bai Yu nodded, “Then you have indeed caused trouble.”

Long Zhi lowered her head, uncertain whether to feel ashamed or helpless. Bai Yu, no saint in this ancient world, believed in retribution for offences. “If he molested my sister Long, you should kill him directly!” Bai Yu declared.

Long Zhi seemed torn between embarrassment and helplessness.

“Is killing someone like that going to have consequences?” Bai Yu asked with concern, acknowledging the potential impact on her path.

Bai Yu, not versed in cultivation, recognised the strength of demon cultivators but knew they couldn’t casually take lives. He had previously helped Long Zhi with her family’s karma, spending money to alleviate the situation.

Long Zhi assured him, “No. First, he provoked me, not an innocent person. Second, he is not a good person. Either reason would justify eliminating him.”

The decision not to kill was simply to avoid causing trouble for Bai Yu. After achieving strong cultivation, what’s the point of practising if there are still too many restrictions?

“Oh… that’s it!” This is akin to the red-and-white name setting in online games, where actively attacking innocent players results in a red-name warning. However, counter-attacking or killing red-named players didn’t incur any punishment.

Bai Yu nodded understandingly, “It’s okay, Sister Dragon. In the future, when you encounter such situations, don’t worry about me! I trust your judgment and will always stand by your side, ready to support you.”

Long Zhi smiled and agreed, “Okay!”

“Sister Dragon, what’s that guy’s name?”

“Well… he said his name is Yang Shancheng, the fourth son of Yang Huabin, Marquis of Xinyuan, at the time.”

“Oh…” Bai Yu responded, muttering, “Yang Shancheng… Yang Huabin…”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk~. That name doesn’t seem to match at all~.” Bai Yu remarked.

“How so, son?” Long Zhi inquired.

Bai Yu looked at her with a radiant smile and replied, “Just noted it down! I’m petty, an eye for an eye!”

His words were reasonable, but there was a chilling undertone. Bai Yu clarified that he would seek revenge for any offence, no matter how small.

Long Zhi gradually understood the kind of person Bai Yu was. But she still believed that he was a good person and the most important person to her.

“Hee hee~. It’s getting late! Good nights are short~. Sister Dragon, let’s go back!” Bai Yu changed back to his carefree self, laughing as he held the beauty’s hand.

Long Zhi blinked in surprise, watching the pair disappear into the street corner. Little did anyone know that one of them was a soul from another world and era, and the other was a demon immortal who had recently transformed into a dragon.
