Chapter 50 I'm Going to Take Away Your Mother Xi Gua's Worries

After putting away the power of the nine dragons, Bai Xun immediately started a new lottery draw.

He refused to believe that the second thing he drew would be the same abstract thing again.

"I activate Reappearance, gaining an extra turn. Draw a card!"

The spirits sing, the ancient power governs all things! Their life, their soul, even their very bones. At the moment when heaven and earth meet, the ritual to summon the sun god begins! Descend, winged dragon of the sun god!

Although the summoning lines were changed, just like the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the Winged Dragon of Ra also did not respond to Hakuhiro's summons.

This time, what was drawn wasn't even a physical object, but a skill that made Bai Xun's expression even more unsettling.

[Gained skill: I'm going to kidnap your mother]

Skill: I'm going to take your mother away.

Introduction: Mom's not home today, feeling lonely all alone? Holiday Dragon, grab your mom online!

This skill can be triggered by shouting "I'm going to take your mother away" at the target. The target will be forced to experience the pain of their mother's departure. This skill ignores all defenses, but its effect is affected by the target's personal emotions, and its duration is affected by the target's mental resistance.

"What's wrong, Bai Xun?"

When Chen Yi noticed that Bai Xun's gaze had suddenly fallen on him for some reason, he felt a little embarrassed.

He quickly looked down to check himself for any obvious abnormalities, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing wrong.

He was even more puzzled, wondering what Bai Xun really meant.

Bai Xun couldn't really explain it to him for the time being.

After all, he couldn't very well say that he had drawn Chen Weilai's abstract skill. He even wanted Chen to say "I'm going to take your mother away" first, and then learn the essence of how the real Chen used this skill.

"What are you two doing exchanging glances here? Are you pretending I don't exist?"

Seeing Bai Xun and Chen Huijie flirting right in front of her, Shi Huaiya was furious. Her little ears were pressed back against her head, already in "airplane ear" mode. If she were to get any more stimulation, she would probably start panting.

"What flirtatious glances? Swire, don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Huijie, determined to defend her innocence, glared back defiantly at Shi Huaiya.

Just as this unlikely pair was about to start their fierce battle again, Bai Xun had a sudden inspiration and picked up a book from the long table behind him, placing it between Shi Huaiya and Chen, which conveniently blocked their view.

"Bai Xun, what are you doing?"

Swire and Chen turned around at the same time to look at Bai Xun, who was making strange moves, and asked in unison.

"I read a theory in a book that if two people are arguing, you should put a partition between them to block their view. As long as they can't see each other, they will stop arguing."

Bai Xun explained in a very serious tone, which only made Swire even more confused, and she couldn't help but ask another question.

"What book would contain such a strange theory?"

"Here it is."

Bai Xun showed them the book cover he had just used to block Chen Huijie and Shi Huaiya's view, pointing to the large characters on the cover and saying them slowly and deliberately.

"A Pet Care Manual"

"......"

Silence reigns in the office tonight.

Shi Huaiya and Chen Huijie looked at each other, speechless and choked with emotion.

In the end, Chen grabbed Bai Xun's wrist and pulled him towards the door to defuse the awkward situation.

"Get to work! If we don't get to work soon, all those Sarkaz will be gone!"

After this unconventional battle between dragons and tigers, and the ghosts who feared the demons (vampires are demons too!), finally left the agency and the living room returned to silence.

The ink painting hanging behind Bai Xun's personal long table also trembled, and a stunningly beautiful woman with dragon horns slowly emerged from it.

Her character is Qing, with hair as black as ink. Her well-fitting white cheongsam is like a painting, outlining the scenery of mountains and strange rocks, which makes her already flawless face even more beautiful and hazy.

Xi is one of the twelve fragments of the Year Beast, ranking eleventh.

Skilled in painting, wielding the power of "freehand brushwork," he expressed his feelings for the mountains and rivers, living a secluded life in his paintings, observing the myriad aspects of the world while remaining steadfast in the world of ancient paintings.

She sat down with practiced ease on the white plastic chair at Bai Xun's favorite food stall. Her slender, dark blue dragon tail extended out from the gap between the backrest and the seat cushion, swaying idly behind her. A look of slight panic appeared on her delicate face, something she hadn't done in a long time.

"The White Dragon [Holy Lord] of the Great Yan Dynasty... How did I end up with such a guy?"

When Bai Xun bought the ancient painting where Xi was hiding, she only felt that this unusual blood demon youth was somewhat interesting, so she also hid in the painting and traveled with Bai Xun to see all over the world.

She had picked up Bai Xun's diary but still hadn't been able to decipher the language he used. But today, she heard such incredible news from Bai Xun himself.

Although Xi had never heard of any rumors about the Great Yan White Dragon, the strange abilities Bai Xun displayed were incomprehensible even to her, which made her believe it to some extent.

What should you do if you encounter a problem?

The sisters said to turn to family when you encounter difficulties!

Xi sat in Bai Xun's seat, pouting and blowing bubbles. Suddenly, she remembered her older sister's words and had a flash of inspiration. With a flick of her jade finger, she used her finger as a brush to draw in the air.

In just a few leaps, a uniquely elegant azure-feathered beast was sketched out.

She held the small feathered beast in her hands, went to the window, opened the window, and released it into the air.

Watching the azure-feathered beast soar higher and higher, he murmured softly.

"Little Sparrow, go find Nian and tell her what I have to say."

Xi wanted to find her more reliable older brothers and sisters, but they were all far away, some even out of contact. Only Nian, who was fond of playing around in the world, was easier to find.

Hopefully, this time Nian can be more serious and go discuss the matter of the Great Yan White Dragon [Holy Lord] with his older brothers and sisters.

Xi sighed again and turned to walk towards the ancient landscape painting.

However, before taking the final step into the painting, Xi suddenly stopped and turned around as if she had thought of something. She rolled up the pet care manual on the table with her long tail before returning to her painting.

Chapter 51 Brother, you smell so good

Longmen, a slum, an unnamed tavern.

A dozen or so Sarkaz mercenaries of varying builds were gulping down cheap, low-quality liquor, their faces flushed as they engaged in a heated discussion.

"Discrimination! Blatant discrimination!"

A particularly tall Goliath Sarkaz slammed a wooden goblet onto the wooden table, its voice both angry and mournful.

"I tried to steal a cake from a cake shop today and got beaten up by the security guard. He even called me a stinking demon. I suspect someone set a trap for me. Maybe I just didn't know whose cake I touched... Sigh, Lungmen, you win!"

"Ah, Longmen!"

"Ah, capitalism!"

"Ugh, discrimination!"

"Hey, Sarkaz!"

The Sarkaz mercenaries sighed repeatedly, it seemed that even in the inclusive Lungmen, these Sarkaz had suffered from all sorts of racial discrimination.

"Alright, brothers, stop complaining. After we finish this job, we'll have enough money to go to Victoria and enjoy life. I heard that His Highness the Regent has already taken over the whole of Londinium!"

It was that same Goliath-like giant, dressed in very little clothing, who spoke. He slapped the table, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and his tone became serious.

"But now, the task that sir gave us has gone awry."

"We already deliberately exposed the body to the Royal Guard, why haven't those Lungmen lackeys arrested Bai Xun yet! Without Bai Xun as a scapegoat, that lord won't show himself!"

"It's not that there weren't any arrests; I personally saw that Blood Demon walk out of the Guard Bureau unharmed! He was even chatting and laughing with that scrawny-faced dragon officer named Chen from the Guard Bureau!"

"Damn it, why isn't he discriminated against when they're both Sarkaz!"

For a moment, the Sarkaz mercenaries were even more enraged, until one of them, on a whim, raised a finger and shouted,

"I understand, I understand everything!"

"That stern-faced police officer must have already beaten Bai Xun to her knees and dragged her home to be his slave!"

"Damn it, caterpillar, what's the point of having such a vivid imagination!"

Goliath slapped his talking-out henchman hard, but the caterpillar continued to yell.

"That must be it! Bai Xun, that Blood Demon, has such delicate skin, he must be a gigolo kept by those dragon-faced police officers, that's why he won't be arrested for this!"

"Brother Caterpillar is right. It must be those corrupt police officers who are bending the law for personal gain!"

"reasonable!"

"Pfft~"

As these demons displayed their astonishing wisdom, a hooded Sarkaz sitting in a corner of the tavern could no longer suppress his laughter and let out a soft chuckle.

Goliath couldn't help but turn to look at his smirking kinsman and his companion beside him, who was also wearing a hood but was clenching his teeth and suppressing his anger.

"what are you laughing at?"

"I remember happy things."

While trying to suppress his laughter, Bai Xun reached under the table and grasped Chen's clenched fist, whispering a reminder.

“Inspector Chen, I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t panic. If you get angry now, our infiltration will have been for nothing.”

"Humph!"

The faceless dragon police officer, who was falsely accused by a group of demons of abusing his power to keep Bai Xun as a mistress, could only suppress his anger and grit his teeth in resentment.

As for why only Chen Huijie followed Bai Xun in, while Swire did not come along, that remains to be seen.

The reason is quite simple—Chen Huijie has dragon horns, and with a little disguise, it can be said to be a characteristic of a Sarkaz. After all, there are countless subspecies of Sarkaz, and it's not a problem if their horns look a little strange.

With the Sarkaz blood disguised by Bai Xun, Bai Xun and Chen easily blended into the Sarkaz tavern, which was practically a disorganized mess.

Although the Sarkaz race could be described as either united or sworn enemies, they were all fellow Sarkaz making a living in Lungmen (ordinary Sarkaz, not the royal court), so Goliath didn't ask any further questions.

He glanced at the two clueless and grumpy duo for a second and then continued speaking.

"We need to figure out how to deal with Bai Xun, otherwise it will be a waste if that person doesn't pay us."

"Your Blood Demon enemies? Why are they so hostile towards you?"

Despite her anger, Chen's instincts as a police officer kicked in, and she immediately asked Bai Xun for advice, only to find that the latter was even more bewildered than she was.

"Where would I get enemies? When I was in the Blood Royal Court, I was just a complete shut-in. I didn't have any interaction with any Blood Demons, so how could I have made enemies? When I was running around outside, it was even less likely that I would have made enemies with Blood Demons."

Although somewhat puzzled, Bai Xun didn't dwell on it too much. Since he'd already infiltrated, he figured he could eventually find the so-called "that person" by following the clues.

"Boss, Bai Xun is not easy to deal with."

"Oh, tell me about it?"

Goliath the giant shifted his gaze back to Haku Xun.

Under Chen Wuyu's watchful gaze, Bai Xun began shamelessly boasting to the giant Goliath.

"According to the information I have, Bai Xun was one of the top ten outstanding youths of the Blood Royal Court back then. He was personally taught by Little Cat Egg... cough cough, the Lord of the Blood Royal Court, Ducarre. He is also charitable and has a wide network of connections. He won the hearts of many powerful and influential women with his handsome appearance. The faceless dragon police officer from the Guard Bureau that Brother Caterpillar just mentioned must be one of them."

"Hiss, this kid is actually terrifying?"

Goliath gasped, already planning how he'd have to make that man pay more next time they met.

But how does this guy know so much, and...

You look a bit unfamiliar.

The big guy frowned and walked up to Bai Xun, directly lifting his hood to examine this unfamiliar member of the clan closely, and then he was stunned.

Bai Xun initially thought his disguise had been exposed and was about to make a move when he saw Goliath start laughing maniacally.
