Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

It can be seen that Xiao Ting has carefully selected for the purpose of seeing the star, but her aesthetic taste is, after all, that of a country girl from a fisherman's family.

In order to match Xingjian's hair color, I chose silver-white shoes.

Big mistake!

Such a combination will only lead to excessive overlap of appearance elements and fail to highlight the characteristics of Xingjian.

It would be more suitable if you choose it yourself and match it with shoes of the color of Star View Eyes.

As the cutest girl in the village, Rina Murakawa has absolute confidence when it comes to her sensitivity to aesthetics and trends.

——Rina is still winning (???_??)?

"Do you want to eat?" Hoshimi handed the rice ball in her hand to Rina who was sitting down.

We bought ten rice balls in total. Xiaoting ate one and Xingjian ate eight.

This last one that was finally left was actually bitten by Xingjian.

Rina's eyes moved as she looked at the corner of the rice ball that Hoshimi had bitten off, which had a row of small and neat teeth marks on it.

This……

"I don't want to eat it. Forget it if you don't want to eat it."

"I eat!"

Rina snatched the rice ball from Hoshimi's hand.

This action made Xiao Ting panic. She wanted to say something but stopped herself, and her two little feet kept shaking nervously on the grass.

Humph, you were only allowed to lick the ice cream together yesterday?

Rina gave Xiaoting a wicked smile, then bit down directly, and the first bite landed on the place where Xingjian had just bitten.

——Rina wins (???_??)?

After finishing the meal, Rina licked her fingers and suddenly remembered the purpose of her trip to find Hoshimi.

"By the way, Xingjian, I just returned to the guild and ran into the village chief. He asked you and Jiuyue to go to the Hunter's Guild together. I guess they want to discuss the reward for the emergency commission."

The reward for the emergency commission, of course, is the subjugation of the Shadow Claw Dark Dragon.

Due to the urgency of the situation at the time, everyone decided to discuss the issue of reward after returning from the expedition.

Of course, according to the Hunter Association's market conditions, the reward for hunting a level 50 monster would have to be at least five figures. Not to mention that this was an emergency commission, so the fee would have to be increased.

But after exploding all the attribute arrows with a total cost of 22, can the village chief really still pay enough money as a reward?

"No wonder September went to the guild just now."

Xingjian looked at the workshop from afar and found that Jiuyue went out alone. It turned out that she was going to get the money.

Forging swords and feeding someone are very expensive, which has made September extremely positive about money recently.

"So when do we leave?" Rina asked.

"Before I go to the guild, I want to take a detour to visit another place."

Yunxue Village Cemetery.

Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws that humans can never escape.

After the death of the villagers of Yunxue Village, they will be buried in this cemetery.

The same goes for Instructor Gao De.

Xing Jian only came once briefly at Instructor Gao De's funeral.

But he always remembered what the palace official said.

(“Human emotions accumulate through repeated encounters and separations. With every experience, humans grow.”)

At that time, Xingjian did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

Although I still don’t fully understand it now.

But after the trip to the snowy mountains, Xingjian felt that his emotions had really grown as the priest said - growth as a "human being".

He wanted to tell Instructor Gao De that the darkness that he risked his life to block out had been completely cut off.

When the three of them arrived at the cemetery, they found a man standing in front of Instructor Gao De's grave.

It was a woman, a strange face.

Xingjian can guarantee that he has never seen it before, because the woman's appearance is too unique. Once he sees it, Xingjian will never forget it.

Black leather shoes, plus a tight leather jacket that highlights the sexy figure, even as a woman, you can see the abdominal muscles faintly visible on the belly.

With a height of nearly 1.8 meters, she is definitely tall among women.

The most important thing is that behind the waist-length red hair is a silver steel gun that exceeds the woman's height and looks very heavy.

The eye patch covering her left eye did not completely hide the sadness on the woman's face. She just stared at Gaode's grave quietly.

"Ah, it's that old woman!" Xiao Ting suddenly bared her teeth in hostility.

As for the old woman, she wasn't that old, judging by her appearance. She was probably in her thirties at most, maybe even less than forty. And with her intense training, she looked even younger.

But Xiaoting's tone was clearly full of hostility.

"Do you know her?" Xingjian asked.

"I know him," Rina said, "He's the instructor of the Hunter Guild in Yunlan Village next door."

"She is also Dad's ex-wife!" Xiao Ting said angrily.

Oh, it turns out to be my ex-wife’s sister.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 51: Oh, my ex-wife

It turned out to be my ex-wife’s sister.

Then Xiao Ting's inexplicable hostility would make sense.

This relationship, which is not complicated, is completely understandable based on current astrological observations.

After all, for Xiao Ting, of course she hopes that her father will love her current mother more, rather than have too much connection with her ex-love.

Combined with Rina's introduction.

The woman in front of him was the instructor of the Yunlan Village Hunter Guild.

Then the heavy steel gun behind him can be explained.

Hunters carrying weapons occasionally pass by the village, but this does not cause panic.

For example, Hoshimi would hang his sword around his waist whenever he went out.

Human beings will not be afraid of weapons in their hands. After all, there are greater threats around them. This is such an era.

Perhaps noticing Xingjian and the other two, the woman's gaze shifted away from the tombstone.

"Oh, who was that? Isn't this Xiao Ting~"

Compared with Xiao Ting's inherent hostility, the woman was much friendlier towards Xiao Ting and smiled.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You've become cuter again."

"Go away, old woman! This is Yunxue Village. People from Yunlan Village are not welcome here!

Xiao Ting, who was angry and embarrassed, rushed forward and tried to push away the woman standing in front of Gao De's tomb.

As a result, due to the huge difference in their body shapes, the thin and petite Xiao Ting was hugged by the woman.

It's probably not quite right to say she was being 'held,' but rather that Xiao Ting was being 'controlled.' No matter how she struggled, she couldn't escape, and her face was being ravaged.

"Hahaha, you're as energetic as before. That makes me feel relieved." The woman laughed even more heartily.

"Let me go, let me go! Help, help me, Xingjian!"

Although Xiao Ting asked for help, in this situation, the other party obviously did not show any hostility. Should I help her?

Fortunately, after hearing Xiao Ting calling Xingjian's name, the woman let go and diverted her attention.

"So it's you, the new hunter from Yunxue Village."

The smile that was on the woman's face a second ago gradually disappeared.

"The man who knocked my apprentice unconscious? Hey, your appearance is really deceiving. No wonder my apprentice is so bewitched by you."

apprentice?

If we talk about the human being that Xingjian has knocked out so far, there is only one.

The woman in front of him, the instructor of the Yunlan Village Hunting Guild, was actually Wu Ren's master.

Are you here to avenge your disciple?

Fearing that the woman might cause trouble for Hoshimi, Rina immediately stepped forward.

"Instructor Xiye, why did you come all the way to Yunxue Village? Aren't there enough missions in Yunlan Village for you to complete?"

"As a poster girl, you're really not gentle enough, Rina. You should learn more from our guild's poster girl, Akatsuki."

"I am only gentle to the hunters in my own village!"

"So you should learn more. Xiaoyue is very gentle to everyone."

From the hip pocket of his tights, he pulled out a rolled tobacco and a flint. The sparks from the friction ignited the cigarette, and Xiye took a deep puff, puffing smoke into the sky.

"If you want to know the reason for coming to Yunxue Village, isn't it enough to come to see our deceased comrades?"

Rina was speechless for a moment. There was no way to refute this reason.

There is nothing to hide about the relationship between Gaode and Xiye. In fact, most villagers know about it.

The two who once served in the Xuanyue National Hunting Group, left their backs to each other in countless hunting missions, supported each other, and fought together.

Young men and women fell in love with each other during the battle and chose to get married.

As a result, when the two of them withdrew from the hunting group and prepared to return to the village to take over the position of instructors of the Hunter's Guild, they realized that the hatred and prejudice between the two villages that had lasted for decades could not accommodate the relationship between the two.

Or perhaps, after leaving the battlefield, the two people realized again that the relationship between them was not love, but more of trust between comrades.

In the end, this marriage did not have a happy ending.

After the divorce, Instructor Gao De chose to accept the love of his childhood sweetheart in Yun Xuecun, Xiao Ting's mother, and remarried her.

Instructor Xiye has remained single until now.

The relationship between the two ended very cleanly, without any ambiguous plots between ex-wives and ex-husbands as in novels.

For more than a decade, Gao De was a loving husband who deeply loved his wife and a doting father who doted on his daughter. He never took the initiative to interact with Xi Ye.

The few times we met were by chance encounters during hunting.

Even the news of Gao De's death was heard by Xiye from his apprentice Wu Ren.

"This guy once saved my life."

Xiye murmured softly, cigarette in hand, her gaze returning to the quietly standing tombstone. Her right eye, the one not covered by the eyepatch, revealed gratitude and nostalgia.

"Back then, the hunting group was subduing the female fire dragon, but a male fire dragon suddenly appeared mid-sentence, and I was unlucky enough to be caught between them. Just when I thought my life was over, it was God, with his greatsword, who led me out of the fight. I have to say, he was really handsome back then."

Rina had also heard this story before, but the version told by Gao De was mixed with his self-blame as a man.

Rina said, "Instructor Gaode feels that he didn't do well enough. Because of that battle, Instructor Xiye lost your left eye and right leg, right?"

"He lost his left eye and right leg." Xingjian tilted his head in confusion.

It was obvious that Xiye's left eye was injured, after all, he had been wearing an eye patch since they met.

It was just the right leg, and Xingjian looked pretty normal.

"The right leg is a prosthetic."

After saying that, Xiye pulled up the trouser leg of his right leg, revealing the entire calf prosthesis composed of a complex mechanical structure.

"Technology from the Western White Lion Principality. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for. This prosthetic limb feels almost like a real leg. The only drawback."
