Volume 2, Chapter 40 – The Unlucky Miss Bai

Inside the capital of the Oros Kingdom, after releasing holy aura to stun a group of people, the rest of the crowd immediately scattered. The royal guards chose to keep a respectful distance from the white-haired girl. Although she appeared to be in an extremely weakened state, she was still a genuine sword god level powerhouse. Even in a heavily injured state, she was not someone a tiny kingdom like theirs could afford to provoke, especially since this girl who wielded holy power was very likely an apostle of the Ashurmos Church.

Consequently, no one dared to gossip about Bai Yanluo anymore. However, the reduction in noise did not improve the state of the gloomy girl. At this moment, Bai Yanluo was in a terrible mood! After realizing she had been screwed over by the Snownight Empire and Xue Tian’ao’s weapon, a fire had already been lit in her heart.

Even worse, when she woke up, she actually found herself deep in the mountains on the border of the Oros Kingdom and was almost swallowed whole by a giant toad! Although she had awakened in time and kicked the giant toad away, the thick phlegm it spat out still covered her entire body. She was a veteran swordmaster, yes, but she was also a girl who loved cleanliness. Being stained by such a disgusting liquid naturally made her fuming.

Aside from the disgusting liquid on her body, various pains had been continuously radiating from all over her body since she woke up, especially from her head and face. She didn’t think she had intercepted the Magic Fission Bomb with her face back then, so why did those two spots hurt so much?

Bai Yanluo grew increasingly puzzled and couldn’t help but raise her hand to press against her head and stroke her reddened nose. For a moment, this Heavenly Apostle who had galloped across battlefields for years actually appeared like a pitiful girl who had been bullied.

‘Ah, it hurts so much…’

After feeling the bump on top of her head, Bai Yanluo couldn’t help but grimace in pain. What was going on? This didn’t look like it was caused by an explosion but rather like she had been beaten by something!

‘Could it be that when I fell, I landed head-first?’

Bai Yanluo became even more confused. Moreover, aside from her head and face, other parts of her body also felt waves of vague pain from time to time. She could overlook the pain in her limbs, but the crucial point was why her butt hurt so much too!

Clutching her rear, Bai Yanluo couldn’t help but walk with a limp. It was precisely because of this movement that so many people, upon her entering the city, suspected whether she had been “defiled”. After all, the trope of a tragic female knight was common and not at all unusual. If she hadn’t confirmed that her body remained pure, Bai Yanluo would have suspected she had been violated by some humanoid creature while unconscious in the forest.

Of course, at this moment, Bai Yanluo could never have imagined in her wildest dreams that the reason her butt hurt so much was purely the result of a certain demon king tier wolf girl’s revenge. After her own bottom had been whipped with a feather duster, Li Mo had vented her grievances onto Bai Yanluo’s rear.

‘Wuuu, it hurts to death…’

Bai Yanluo was extremely depressed and even muttered inwardly. One must know that she was very afraid of pain. However, her outward appearance remained strong and cold. As a Heavenly Apostle of the Ashurmos Church, she could not lose the face of the church.

‘But, but… Wuuu, it hurts so much.’

Forcing herself to endure the pain and the grievances in her heart, Bai Yanluo’s azure eyes quickly scanned the shops along the street. Clearly, in her weakened state, Bai Yanluo was looking for a pharmacy. She needed to buy some medicine to speed up the recovery of her power so that she could regain at least thirty percent of her strength as soon as possible. Then, she could return to Fort Garros to find Mengxi.

She wondered how Mengxi had been during the few days she was unconscious. Nothing must happen to the Chosen Maiden! At this thought, Bai Yanluo couldn’t help but feel consumed by anxiety, even having the urge to start whimpering.

However, as she searched, Bai Yanluo suddenly realized a serious problem. The girl slowly looked down at her body. In an instant, Bai Yanluo’s brows furrowed.

‘It’s… it’s all gone…’

Indeed, Miss Bai discovered that apart from the clothes she was wearing, her weapons, spatial ring, black cards, diamond cards, and the chips she had saved up before… everything was gone as if she had been pillaged. They must have been lost in the previous explosion.

“Damn the Snownight Empire! You and I are irreconcilable!!”

Thus, under the shrinking gazes of the nearby residents, the white-haired girl who seemed a bit mentally unstable began to stomp frantically on the ground! This instantly caused the capital to fall into a state of continuous, slight tremors.

However, throwing a tantrum was one thing, but Miss Bai had a very serious problem she had to face. That was, she was broke… She needed to buy medicine and scrolls, but she had no money. Although Bai Yanluo loved gambling and was usually a bit of a scoundrel, she still strictly followed the basic tenets of the church and would not do anything illegal for money. This was her principle.

But without money, how was she supposed to buy medicine? Should she earn money first? But what could she do to earn money now? Other than fighting, she didn’t seem to be good at anything. Even though she was a sword god, she was always cheated by people during gambling.

Bai Yanluo fell into a state of conflict. Just then, while she was looking around anxiously, her eyes suddenly narrowed! She noticed a somewhat familiar shop.

‘How can there be a place like this here too?’

Looking at the inconspicuous magic bookstore at the corner of the street, a hint of astonishment appeared in Bai Yanluo’s azure eyes. There was a similar bookstore in the capital of Red Lotus Leaf. If they had scrolls for magic recovery… maybe she should go and try her luck.

With that thought, Bai Yanluo held her breath and slowly walked toward the bookstore. The moment she pushed open the door, a dazzling array of books appeared before her. The shop looked very ordinary from the outside, but the interior was extremely unusual. Aside from the books, a cute little girl with a huge blue bow and water-blue twin tails, who was currently sweeping the floor, also appeared in Bai Yanluo’s vision.

After blinking her pink-purple gemstone-like eyes, the little girl looked curiously at this disheveled older sister who had suddenly walked into the shop. Then, to Bai Yanluo’s surprise, after seeing her, the porcelain-like little girl did not come over to greet the customer. Instead, she put down the broom, turned around, and shouted toward the second floor of the bookstore.

“Mama! White Pickled Radish is here~” ¹ 白腌萝 (bái yān luó), white pickled radish. Meanwhile her real name is 白阎罗 (bái yán luó), White Yama (King of the Underworld). As usual, these type of jokes don’t translate well.

What?! How does she know who I am? I clearly concealed my presence! Wait! What on earth is “Pickled Radish”!

The moment she heard the little girl’s shout, Bai Yanluo’s eyes sharpened as she looked guardedly at the little girl and the second floor of the bookstore. The next moment, following the little girl’s call, a slightly charming and somewhat dissatisfied female voice drifted down from the second floor.

“Linxi, didn’t I say we should be quiet inside the bookstore~”

Along with the voice, an elegant woman surrounded by five or six floating grimoires slowly walked into Bai Yanluo’s view. The woman appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old with a full figure and a graceful posture; her actions were dignified and elegant. Her platinum-blonde hair was smooth and beautiful, her skin was like jade, and her beautiful eyes sparkled. Every frown and smile revealed an indescribable charm and maturity, along with a faint, inexplicable aura of “danger”.

The woman wore a simple brown checkered skirt with milky-white garter stockings over her slender legs, while her beautiful platinum-blonde hair was gathered into a shawl style with a simple hairpin. Clearly, the woman possessed a soul-stirring mature beauty. However, the most striking feature was the pair of fluffy fox ears on top of her head.

The moment she saw the bookstore owner, especially those fluffy ears, Bai Yanluo’s eyes shrank as they filled with shock and a hint of wariness. The next moment, Bai Yanluo couldn’t help but raise her hand and point forward.

“You… why is a scammer like you here?!”
