Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

However, the two elders did not know that Viviana was not as they expected. She was just out hunting monsters to vent her emotions.

Viviana told the butler that she was going out to hunt monsters, but in fact, she secretly went to find Banning.

·

·

Elder Minghei's speculation was actually only half right.

Outside the reception room tonight, Viviana had indeed deliberately avoided direct contact with Banning, and indeed did so to prevent her relationship with Banning from being discovered by the two elders. However, she was not angry as Elder Minghei had guessed, because, after all, she had the opportunity to meet Banning, so how could Viviana have the time to be angry?

Viviana, who was very clever, used the strategy of "making a feint to the east and attacking in the west" taught to her by Elder Minghei tonight. On the surface, she went out to hunt monsters, but in fact, she quietly circled around outside, successfully avoiding the route the two elders took to send Banning out of the manor, and then rushed to the streets of Yanji City in advance to wait for Banning to appear.

——(Floating Crimson Silver Swords, unleash them all! Go, Crimson Silver Rapiers!)

On the roof of a four-story building, Viviana released six gleaming scarlet-silver rapiers under the moonlight.

In order not to miss Banning, she even used her signature skills to find him.

These scarlet silver rapiers have no five senses, but Viviana believes that as long as Banning sees any of them, he will definitely follow the scarlet silver rapier to find her.

——(Banning… you must have seen the look in my eyes at that time, right…!)

Viviana, full of confidence, stood on the roof and looked around. Soon, she saw a figure that looked like Banning around a scarlet silver rapier, which made her heart beat faster with excitement.

But just when she thought that the figure would follow the scarlet silver rapier towards her, the other party suddenly accelerated and ran away from the scarlet silver rapier.

"……Eh?"

Viviana was stunned. This was not the reaction she wanted to see.

Could it be that the person was not Banning?

With the mentality of rather finding ten wrong people than letting one go, Viviana immediately jumped out and chased after the figure with all her strength.

What surprised her was that even though she had tried her best, she still couldn't shorten the distance between them. If she wasn't very familiar with the geographical environment of Yanji City, she might have been thrown off by the opponent!

——(The person who can reach such speed...isn't it really you, Benning?)

The more Viviana chased, the more she believed that the figure in the distance ahead could only be Banning. Then, in this difficult chase, Viviana unknowingly followed the other party over the city wall and out of Yanji City, and came to the suburban plains outside Yanji City.

·

After entering the suburbs, the figure's speed slowed down significantly, until after running three or five kilometers, it finally stopped completely.

Now looking at the figure standing there, Viviana was a little afraid to move forward.

If the person she had chased all this way was not Banning, wouldn't she be making a big fool of herself?

Just when Viviana was feeling uneasy, the figure turned around and faced Viviana.

The bright moonlight illuminated the man's face, with black hair, a well-defined face and bright black eyes. This man was none other than the young man Viviana had been thinking about - Banning.

"Long time no see, Viviana... Thank you for your hard work. You've come such a long way so late at night."

9.101 - Averting Danger

"Um...long time no see, Banning."

The boy who would appear in her dreams from time to time now appeared before the girl's eyes with incredible realism.

Viviana's mind was in a blank chaos at this moment, and she could only mechanically say hello as a response to Banning.

Once upon a time, this young man was still a hunter from a small village of low status and little strength. At that time, he addressed Viviana as "Sir" with great respect.

And now, not only did the boy call Viviana by her name, but his strength had also grown to a level that Viviana could not see through. Even his identity began to become confusing.

If such a drastic change happened to someone else, Viviana might find it suspicious, but now that it happened to Banning, she could only feel happy for him.

Because deep down in Viviana's heart, Banning is no longer "someone else".

·

Under the moonlight as thin as silver gauze, the girl and the boy just stared at each other until the girl suddenly remembered that when the boy saw the scarlet silver sword, he not only did not take the initiative to follow the trail to find her, but turned around and ran away.

As soon as she thought of that chilling scene, Viviana's mind was no longer so blank. Then, the scene of "Ice Star Shirley forcibly kissing Banning" that she had seen before on the outskirts of the werewolf royal territory reappeared in Viviana's mind.

After these two consecutive shocks, the pink atmosphere lingering in Viviana's heart suddenly dissipated, and the shy smile on her face gradually faded away.

"By the way, Banning, why did you suddenly run in Yanji City just now?" Viviana asked Banning pretending to be nothing.

In fact, from now on, as long as Banning showed even the slightest bit of guilt when answering this question, Viviana would immediately conclude that Banning must be hiding something.

Faced with this dangerous problem, Banning, who seemed to be unaware of the danger, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately apologized to Viviana very sincerely.

"Sorry, sorry, Viviana, I was actually just about to tell you this."

I only heard Banning express his attitude sincerely first, and then he began to explain the reasons.

Benning told Viviana that when he saw Viviana at the Feiqi family manor tonight, he actually understood the meaning of Viviana's eyes.

Afterwards, after bidding farewell to the two elders, he returned to the streets of Yanji City and began to look for Viviana. However, to Banning's surprise, someone was following him in Yanji City, where he was unfamiliar with the place. This made him think that it might be an arrangement by the two elders.

While being followed, it didn't take long for Banning to discover Viviana's scarlet-silver rapier. In order to prevent the people being followed from noticing Viviana's presence, he had to pretend not to see the scarlet-silver rapier and tried to keep a distance from Viviana.

Fortunately, the trackers were not very strong, which allowed Banning to shake them off before leaving the city without losing Viviana.

It is actually not easy for the two of them to meet in this way at this time and place.

"Viviana, I'm really sorry. I took this action without consulting you. I've caused you so much trouble."

By the time Banning finished his last words of apology, Viviana's suspicion of Banning had disappeared.

All that was left was her guilt towards Banning.

——(So someone was following me... Those two elders are really embarrassing!)

——(But I also have my own problems... I was so focused on finding and chasing Banning that I didn't even notice...)

——(To make such a low-level mistake in my own Yanji City, wow, I am really too embarrassed...)

"It's not hard... not hard at all. And you don't have to apologize to me, Banning. I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't noticed someone was following us, we would have been discovered by now..."

The more Viviana spoke, the lower her head dropped. She felt so ashamed when she thought about how she had doubted Banning just now.

"You're too modest, Viviana. Even if I didn't notice, you would have definitely noticed. I think you trained too much during the day. When I saw you at night, I felt that you seemed a little tired."

Viviana was very surprised to hear Banning's concern - because the fact was just as Banning said, she was indeed a little overtrained in the past two days.

Worrying about her father and the setbacks at the southern mines forced Viviana to vent her emotions on training.

However, to say that she was too tired was actually not a big deal, it was just a slight condition, and Banning was really attentive enough to notice such a subtle sign.

When Viviana thought about how much Banning valued and cared about her, her heart suddenly felt warm.

However, Viviana didn't know that the so-called "being followed" was actually a lie made up by Banning.

The reason why Banning said this deliberately was to trick Viviana from Yanji City to the suburbs in a legitimate way.

Frankly speaking, if it weren't for the ability to read minds, Jiang Ran would probably have missed Viviana's intention to have a "private meeting" tonight.

Even though the young man had so much experience, he still didn't expect Viviana to be so proactive tonight - it seemed that the forced kiss by Ice Star Shirley had a positive effect when Viviana caught it.

Because Viviana was so proactive, Jiang Ran had to be more cautious than usual.

Although he didn't actually find anyone following him tonight, for safety reasons, he still took Viviana out of Yanji City.

Compared to Yanji City where you never know who is hiding in the houses and spying secretly, the suburbs where you can see clearly everywhere are safer.

Here, no matter what Jiang Ran wants to do, he is obviously much freer than in Yanji City.

(The future death date is in two days, so let’s first check and calm Viviana’s emotions.)

Tonight's private meeting was something Jiang Ran had not planned. According to his plan, tonight should have ended after he successfully obtained the information about the Snake Shadow Society.

However, being able to continue developing the relationship with Viviana is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, Jiang Ran’s confession death countdown is only less than 19 days away.

Following this "battle plan", Jiang Ran first asked Viviana from the side how she sneaked out tonight, to ensure that the two red and black elders would not suddenly appear during their secret meeting.

After "breaking the ice" with this topic, Viviana no longer felt awkward at the beginning, and asked calmly about what happened in the Feiqi family's living room tonight.

Jiang Ran did not hide anything about the commission from the "Southern Mine" and told Viviana everything in detail, even the part about the "Fluorite Fairy Queen Laerte" that he had not told the Red and Black Elder.

However, he was still cautious and brief when it came to the details concerning his abilities and skills.

It’s not that Jiang Ran doesn’t trust Viviana, but he is worried that Viviana will be controlled by the enemy again.

Jiang Ran was always clear in his mind that his seemingly powerful abilities and skills would be greatly reduced in power and effectiveness, or even rendered ineffective, once the enemy knew their details.

9.102 - Moonlight Chat

On the outskirts of Yanji City, under the bright moonlight, Viviana and Banning were walking and talking.

Obviously, they had already kissed twice, but at this time they kept a distance of one body length from each other very subtly, without even touching each other's shoulders.

During the walk, Benning told Viviana in detail about his expedition against the monsters in the southern mines. Viviana was extremely surprised, but because of her status, she could not show it on her face.

Beneath Viviana's expressionless face, her heart was in turmoil.

She found it hard to believe that there were even more powerful fifth-level monsters hidden in the southern mines. What was even more unbelievable to her was that whether it was the fourth-level monsters that forced her to escape, or the fifth-level monsters that she had never even seen, they had all been dealt with by Banning alone.

Is this Banning really the hunter Banning who came out of Ella Village to hunt?

·

Viviana remembered clearly that only three or four months had passed since the battle in Shadou Canyon.

Viviana, who believed that she was diligent in her practice and made rapid progress, advanced from the third level to the fourth level during this period. Such progress was already an astonishing speed in the Prison Star World.

However, Benning's progress is several times greater than Viviana's.

If Banning had not hidden his strength when he was in Shadou Canyon, then in the same period of time, Viviana believed that Banning would have at least grown from level one to level five, no, even level six.

In just three or four months, growing from the first level to the sixth level, this kind of unrealistic and ridiculous thing would be regarded as a joke no matter who you told it to in the Prison Star World.

So, is the truth that Benning deceived Viviana? Is it that Benning hid his strength?

No, Viviana doesn't think so.

First of all, after the incident where she wrongly accused Banning, Viviana has unconsciously increased her trust in Banning again.

[Note: The "unjust incident" refers to someone following Viviana in Yanji City without her noticing.]

In Viviana's mind now, she would never easily doubt Banning unless there is solid evidence.

Secondly, recalling the battle in Sand Duck Canyon, Viviana was absolutely certain that Banning had really fought with all his might to the point of life and death.

Whether it was the on-site memory at the time or Viviana's recollection afterwards, there really wasn't even the slightest bit of unnaturalness.

What's more, given the relationship between the two at the time, there was no reason for Banning to go to so much trouble to "perform" such a realistic tragic drama.

So, even though this sounds really outrageous, Viviana still believes that Banning created an "impossible miracle" that no one in this Prison Star world would believe.

Even if no one believes it, Viviana will firmly be the only one who believes it.

However, deep in Viviana's heart, there was a voice whispering that perhaps Banning was actually the reincarnated son of God from a certain family... or even the royal family, because only in this way could all this have a reasonable explanation.

Viviana's response was to ignore the discordant voice.

She didn't care about any of this, because the only person she cared about was "Banning".

No matter whether Banning is just an ordinary hunter from a small village or he is actually the reincarnated son of God, Viviana will not change her mind because of his change in identity.

After listening to Banning's battle in the southern mine, Viviana was extremely curious about Banning's current strength.

Being able to single-handedly eliminate so many fourth-level monsters, and even fifth-level monsters unknown to Viviana, what is the current level of Banning's combat ability?

In addition to wanting to understand this, Viviana also wanted to give Banning some advice on his straightforward character.

In Viviana's opinion, who would complete the commission first and then come to the employer to discuss remuneration?

If the client was not a big family like the Feiqi family, any other employer would most likely cheat or even cancel the commission without paying.

In order to prevent Banning from suffering any loss in the future, Viviana told Banning about this matter very seriously. Banning first thanked Viviana with a smile, and then said that he chose to believe in the Feiqi family because he believed in Viviana.

Such a simple sentence caused huge ripples in Viviana's heart.
