The feeling of being trusted by the people she cared about made Viviana feel joy from the bottom of her heart.
·
Afterwards, Viviana asked about the "extra compensation" again. After learning that Banning "only" asked the two elders for additional "information about the Snake Shadow Society", she couldn't help but stare with surprise.
"Snake Shadow Society?! Why do you want information about the Snake Shadow Society?" Viviana asked in confusion.
Although she didn't know much, the Snake Shadow Society was an extremely dangerous organization. Even her father (Lord Scarlet Qi) and the Red and Black Elders were quite wary of them.
Banning scratched his hair, then answered Viviana's question frankly.
"Because they have captured a friend of mine...I have to go and rescue her."
At first, Viviana listened attentively to Banning's answer, but after hearing the word "she", Viviana's consciousness suddenly became hazy.
·
·
Since Banning used the word "she," this friend must be a woman. This is a deduction that even a three-year-old child can understand.
As soon as the concept of "female friends" appeared, Viviana's inner alarm bells immediately sounded.
The so-called female friends are often used as a synonym for "quasi-girlfriends". If Banning already has someone he likes, what should Viviana do?
——(Speaking of which...in Banning's mind...how does he view me?)
Although she had kissed Benning twice, Viviana had to admit that they still knew very little about each other. Every time they met, they were only together for a short while before being forced to separate.
With so little time to spend together, she and Benning haven't even officially confirmed their friendship, let alone boyfriend and girlfriend...
/(/ /o/ω/o/ /)/
Thinking of this, Viviana's face suddenly turned red.
Why is it that whenever she's with Banning, she starts to unconsciously think about these things between men and women... It's really too embarrassing...!
However, Viviana had to admit that she did care very much about the "female friend" that Banning had just mentioned.
"Is... a very important friend?" Viviana asked, trying to act nonchalant.
"Yes, she has helped me many times. Oh, and to be more precise, it would be more accurate to call her an elder rather than a friend. If there's a chance later, how about I introduce this old rabbit-man grandmother to you? She's very knowledgeable."
Benning answered very naturally, seemingly not noticing Viviana's nervousness just now.
After successfully learning the true identity of this "female friend", Viviana finally breathed a sigh of relief.
——(What the hell…it’s an old lady…)
——(Banning, you're such a jerk! You made me nervous for a while... humph...!)
Although Viviana complained in her heart, she was actually quite happy.
After all, Banning wouldn't fall in love with an old lady.
As long as Banning doesn't have a girlfriend or someone he likes, she still has a great chance.
9.103 - Battle Plan
The emergency alarm in Viviana's heart was lifted.
However, after she breathed a sigh of relief, when the joy of "surviving a disaster" was still lingering in her heart, the feeling of guilt quietly came over Viviana again.
Thinking of her suspicion of Banning and her jealousy of that "female friend", Viviana felt ashamed.
In the past, she was not the kind of person who would care about such things, but now, she would start to worry about gains and losses if she was not careful.
This feeling as if someone is squeezing her heart... sometimes it really makes her almost breathless.
——(What the hell is wrong with me…?)
In order to divert her attention, Viviana tried hard to find a topic to talk about.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered that what she was concerned about at the beginning was not the "female friends", but the fact that Banning was going to fight against the "Snake Shadow Society".
How could Banning do such a dangerous thing as if nothing had happened?
"Banning, you...are you planning to go to the Snake Shadow Society alone to rescue people?" Viviana asked in disbelief.
"Yes, it's actually easier to succeed if I sneak in alone. Facing such a powerful organization as the Snake Shadow Society, it's impossible for me to invade from the front."
Banning's answer confirmed Viviana's guess. As she expected, Banning was going to sneak in to save people.
However, even if Banning himself is very skilled, the old rabbit lady he wants to save can't fly over rooftops and walls like him, right?
As far as Viviana knew, the Bunnymen were not a race known for their athletic abilities, let alone an old lady.
So, Viviana immediately told Banning about her concerns. Banning couldn't give a reassuring answer. He just said to Viviana in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, things will work out in due time. There will be a way."
Such a perfunctory answer would not pass Viviana's test at all, but as an outsider, she had no position to forcefully stop Banning.
After much deliberation, Viviana finally decided to go to the Snake Shadow Society's base with Banning to help Banning rescue the old rabbit woman.
"Banning, I'll go with you," Viviana said firmly.
"No, this is too dangerous, and this matter has nothing to do with you. I can't let you take such a risk."
Just like Viviana's decisiveness, Banning rejected Viviana's proposal without hesitation.
The two of them stopped walking and stared at each other in a stalemate until Viviana suddenly had an idea.
·
"Otherwise... let's do this. I won't go into the base with you. I'll just cover you from the periphery. We can agree on a time. Once the time comes, I'll create chaos outside. That way, you can rescue the people more easily."
What Viviana applied at this time was the strategy of "making a feint to the east and attacking in the west" that Elder Yuhong had taught her on the battlefield.
By using this strategy, she could help Banning without taking too much risk.
After listening to Viviana's plan, Benning thought about it seriously for a while, then gradually relaxed his tense expression, and finally gave Viviana a smile that was both appreciative and somewhat helpless.
"Okay, but you have to promise me that if the situation is not right, you will run away immediately without any hesitation." Banning said, staring at Viviana with a sharp gaze.
Viviana nodded and promised Banning that she would do it, but what she was thinking in her heart was that no matter what, she had to make sure Banning returned safely with her.
At this point, the tension between Viviana and Banning finally dissipated. In order to ease the atmosphere, Viviana took the initiative to ask about the old rabbit lady.
Banning introduced to Viviana that this old rabbit lady was nearly a hundred years old and had been traveling around the Prison Star World for many years. She was knowledgeable and experienced. He met her by coincidence and received a lot of guidance from her.
As for why the Snake Shadow Society wanted to capture this old lady, Banning had no idea. Perhaps it was because this old lady knew some information that the Snake Shadow Society wanted to know.
"Then after you rescue her, you must introduce her to me~" Viviana said with a smile. She loved to listen to all kinds of strange stories in her free time. This old rabbit lady must know a lot of new and interesting things.
"Yes, of course. I promise you."
Benning made a serious promise to Viviana, but if this "rabbit-man grandmother" knew that she was going to be introduced to the Scarlet Qi family who were hunting her, she would probably faint on the spot after being rescued.
·

The battle plan to infiltrate the Snake Shadow Society has been discussed, but it is only a short time since nightfall, and neither Banning nor Viviana seem to have any intention of returning to Yanji City so soon.
But what can a man and a woman do in this remote place at this hour of night?
Viviana stood there looking at Banning, and Banning also looked at Viviana. The originally clear and pure gaze between the two gradually began to become less "clear" under the rendering of the moonlight.
At some point, Viviana began to feel her cheeks getting hot. If it weren't for the thin layer of silver gauze covering her face, she would have turned away embarrassedly and dared not look at Banning again.
At the same time, Banning seemed to be shy. He first looked up at the night sky, then looked down at the empty ground, and finally suggested to Viviana...
"Emm...How about we go on patrol and see if there are any monsters around?"
Upon hearing this, Viviana nodded immediately, because if she went monster hunting with Banning, she could not only keep up with her training but also extend the time she spent with Banning. It was simply the best thing in the world!
Viviana even took the initiative and actively told Banning which patrol routes were more likely to encounter monsters. The suburbs of Yanji City were as familiar to Viviana as her own backyard.
"Let's go, Banning. If we let the patrol get ahead of us, there will be no monster subjugation."
Viviana ran ahead enthusiastically. To Banning, her lively and agile figure looked as innocent and cute as an elementary school student going on a picnic.

Jiang Ran naturally had no expectation of practicing when it came to hunting monsters.
Normally, monsters above level one would never appear around a big city like Yanji City.
Monsters, as a kind of living creatures, have their own tribes and their own ecology. The more powerful the monsters are, the farther away from humans they tend to live. Only weak monsters are allowed to live near human living circles by humans "turning a blind eye".
Based on this theory, Jiang Ran still feels strange when he recalls the Southern Mine Incident.
Although the southern mine is relatively remote compared to Yanji City, it is not so remote that fourth- and fifth-level monsters would appear there.
Is there some force planning to harm the Feiqi family? Jiang Ran speculated.
However, just as he was about to continue thinking, a strange figure flashed past in the corner of his vision, forcing him to temporarily interrupt his thinking.
"Viviana, someone is following us."
Jiang Ran suddenly held Viviana's hand and whispered.
9.104 - Reap the Sow
━━━━━━━━━━
October 187, 9
〖9:43 pm〗
[Confession death countdown remaining: 19 days]
"Death Future Remaining: 2 Days"
━━━━━━━━━━
Ever since the incident with the Werewolf King, Weipu Bili has not had a good day.
First, he failed to steal the chicken but ended up losing the rice, and killed the Green Lizard Family's precious tamed monster, the Green Scaled Flying Lizard. Then, when he returned to Cuilin City to report to his family, he was scolded.
All this happened so "accidentally" that it made Wei Pu Bi Xi's previously smooth life seem fake.
Because of his poor performance and the heavy losses he caused to the family, even though Wei Pu Bi Xi was the eldest son of the Bi Xi family, he was still punished by being put in solitary confinement for reflection.
Being put in solitary confinement is a small matter, but losing face is a big matter. When Lord Bilizard no longer showed leniency to him, for a moment, Wei Pu Bilizard thought that his status as heir would be revoked.
Fortunately, Lord Green Lizard did not mention this matter, but after such a beating, Wei Pu Green Lizard was really scared.
It seemed that his original carefree life as a nobleman could no longer continue as he wished.
·
·
While in solitary confinement, Weipu Bili remembered the white ice crystals he had bought from the "mysterious mask merchant" at a high price.
If he remembered correctly, that thing should be called "Illusionary Ice Crystal Mirage".
At that time, after "taking" the white ice crystals, the dying Green Scaled Flying Lizard evolved three times in a row, evolving from a second-level Green Scaled Flying Lizard to a fifth-level Great Forest Armored King Lizard. The shocking and bizarre scene is still fresh in Weipu Green Lizard's memory.
However, the "price" mentioned by the mask merchant made Weipu Bili very afraid. The price of losing all power in five minutes made him give up the idea of using the white ice crystal on the spot.
Now, Wei Pu Bi Xi, who was in solitary confinement, was confused and began to think that it was all because of Benning that he had fallen into his current "miserable situation".
——(If it weren’t for that guy Banning who killed my Green Lizard…how could the eldest son of my dignified Green Lizard family be put in solitary confinement…!)
Whip-Up Blue Lizard put all the blame on Banning. Now Banning is not only the target person that Will "asked" Whip-Up Blue Lizard to help catch, but also Whip-Up Blue Lizard's enemy.
After finding a place to go to relieve his anger and unwillingness, Wei Pu Bi Xi began to be unwilling to stay in the small dark room.
He wanted to go out and make a big fortune, and then use the achievements he won to wash away the shame.
·
A few days later, Wei Pu Bi Xi's opportunity came. The guard who was on duty to guard him happened to be the guy he had been kind to before.
Wei Pu Bi Xi persuaded the guard with a combination of coaxing and deception, then sneaked out of the small dark room and escaped from Cuilin City, the main city of the Bi Xi family.
After escaping successfully, Wei Pu Green Lizard quietly took away another Green Scaled Flying Lizard from the breeding farm outside Cuilin City, and then took the crucial "Illusionary Ice Crystal Mirage" and began his journey to hunt down Banning again.
What is very strange is that after Wei Pu Bi Xi started his journey again, there were birds that seemed to understand human nature and came to show him the way along the way. This made Wei Pu Bi Xi feel that even the gods in the sky were trying their best to help him.
——(I am still the eldest son of the Green Lizard family after all...)
