Chapter 97: Said No More Love

Sister Yao thought about it and felt the same way. If this thin warehouse uncle did not have a gun, he would definitely be chased and beaten by them—no, chased and caught by them. So she put away her gun, imagined Chen Fengshi’s annoyed expression under his helmet right now, and could not help but laugh.

What is so funny…

Chen Fengshi did not find it funny at all, but was very depressed.

Fortunately, the next clearing operation finally became easy.

They were all Low-level Demon Generals with weak combat power, and the number of Parasites a Sub-general could control was also much smaller. Sister Yao and Liu Shuzhi gave it a small try and easily subdued the Demon General. After two such targets, Chen Fengshi used the Demon General by the road to let Sister Yao and Liu Shuzhi see the scene where the Parasite swarm came to the rescue, and after he finished the exorcism, these Parasites turned back like sleepwalkers.

The smooth exorcisms time after time refreshed Sister Yao and Liu Shuzhi’s worldviews, and at the same time, their admiration for the Golden Blood skyrocketed. Liu Shuzhi in particular was like starting a new life. Before the Golden Blood could even speak, he took the initiative to help insert the motorcycle key, straightened the bike, and eagerly invited him to get on…

So much so that Chen Fengshi felt that having these two disciples was not bad.

As for their enthusiasm, although they were badly scared by the Tier 8 Demon General in the warehouse at first, later they regained their confidence, realizing that such a particularly dangerous situation was not the norm. Sister Yao, who loved seeking thrills, was of course not afraid. Liu Shuzhi was originally a bit scared, but the attraction of starting a brand new life and entering a new world exceeded that little fear. The key was that in this new world, he could put the value of his strength to use.

Of course, the most crucial point was: he had basically sold himself to Sister Yao, and it seemed he did not have the confidence to say no.

Although Sister Yao and Liu Shuzhi had not been very active, they were not Demon Generals now and did not have the energy supply from Parasites. The clearing operation lasted less than two hours before they were both unbearably hungry and ate a huge meal.

During this time, Chen Fengshi cleared a few targets alone. He really could not wait; a meal taking an hour, could he wait?

This was the sorrow of having a huge appetite…

Until five in the morning, there were many more people from the police system in the target area, and an abnormally large number of biker gangs. Then a Demon General of Queen Huang was besieged, so the clearing operation ended early.

Sister Yao and Liu Shuzhi did not look tired at all. They looked reluctant to leave, as if they wished they could exorcise ghosts for three days and three nights straight.

Chen Fengshi finally managed to send them back, then made a simple summary of the situation. He recorded a detailed account of Sister Yao and Liu Shuzhi’s situation and sent it to Canyue. This was especially important for Alcohol and Little Huo, so naturally he had to tell the truth. As for his own opinions, since he had not found any negative factors for the time being, it was better not to mention too much.

Alcohol listened to the recording while taking a shower, and then said happily: “This guy is great! Such an obedient and simple stage, I am just short of someone like this. I see no problem, hand him over to me when I wake up?”

Although the clearing operation ended early, the increase in obstructive forces was one reason, but more importantly, the efficiency was very high. Now the outer perimeter was basically swept clean, and the remaining area of the target Fungal Demon was only one-fifth of the original. This meant that defensive support would be more timely, and the next step of the operation also needed to be planned well.

Now it was in a state of extra gains. Queen Huang’s Demon General indeed played a big role in clearing the Low-level Demon Generals, ensuring that Little Huo and Alcohol were not disturbed by Parasites during their operations, confirming Demon General intelligence and precise locations, and when necessary, being responsible for creating suitable combat conditions.

Chen Fengshi knew that Alcohol was in a very good mood, but was it a bit careless to decide to use Liu Shuzhi so quickly?

“Your decisiveness scares me. Don’t you need to observe him for a few more days?”

“Golden Blood, you have no idea how hard it is for us to exterminate demons! We clearly have the advantage, but it still takes over ten minutes of struggling to exorcise it with Little Huo! Why? Because we don’t absorb Fungal Demon cells fast enough, and the Demon General can just stand there sneering and let us absorb while replenishing itself!” When Alcohol spoke of this, he was full of grievance and depression.

Although Little Huo did not say a word, he could understand these hardships, and thus felt that this was the reason for Alcohol’s impatience.

“If there is someone with combat power who can quickly control the Demon General, we can save over ten minutes of struggling. Over ten minutes! Golden Blood, think about it, if the Demon General hadn’t helped block the Parasites, or if Little Huo hadn’t collapsed on the ground from exhaustion to create an isolated environment, would we still be alive after over ten minutes? We would have been drowned by Parasites long ago! As a result, the number of targets we could exorcise would be greatly reduced. But now, the hope is clear. Enhancing the power of the Power of Life, I absorbed the Sub-core of that Tier 9 Female Demon General tonight, and the improvement in my power feels entirely brand new! Tell me, can I still wait? Can I miss such a suitable partner?”

“Alright, when you wake up, set a time and I will bring him to you.” Chen Fengshi had nothing else to say. The Golden Power of Life had a strong devouring ability and outstanding frontal combat power; these were not his fault. But under such a stark contrast, Alcohol and Little Huo, who suffered from exhaustion and torment, would naturally make comparisons. They were not blaming him, but feeling depressed about why their own Power of Life was so difficult when it came to eliminating Fungal Demons!

Little Huo had actually told Alcohol that if she wanted to improve faster, during their cooperative operations, he could always let her absorb the Demon General’s Sub-core.

But the result was that he got scolded by Alcohol. Alcohol cursed him, asking if he thought this was a game? Did he think improvement was for what? It was for survival! She needed to improve, and so did he. He could choose the way and speed of his improvement, but could he irresponsibly stay in place? He thought this sacrifice was great, but why should she make him sacrifice? Clearly, by choosing Liu Shuzhi as a suitable helper partner, she could fight alone without owing anyone!

Little Huo felt that he was indeed being a bit naive, so he did not mention it again. At this time, hearing Alcohol’s words, and since he had actually already made a decision himself, he said: “I have also decided that I need this partner.”

Alcohol laughed and said: “Little Huo, didn’t you get a new partner tonight? Aren’t you going to wait a few days to consider her?”

“That one is very strong, probably doesn’t need a partner.” Little Huo had not thought about this at all, and moreover, he felt that being able to fight alone separately was the best way to improve. He also wanted to change his situation.

“Don’t mention Ye Weiyang’s matter for now. You can’t know too much before officially joining the association.” Little An suddenly interjected. In the end, after thinking and thinking, she still did not ask Chen Fengshi if he had eaten breakfast.

However, Chen Fengshi asked her: “Little An, have you returned to the Base? If you have, let’s have breakfast together?”

“I have.”

“Great, eating at your place saves money and is highly efficient. Finding breakfast outside and waiting until I’m full would take two hours, right…” Chen Fengshi spoke happily to himself, not knowing that Little An on the other end wanted to close the door and not let him in. However, thinking that Chen Fengshi would probably just jump in directly to save trouble, she only took a silent deep breath and said nothing.

“Oh right, it’s so nice that the Base provides breakfast. It would be great if we all just lived at the Base, I would save ten thousand in rent every month!” Alcohol felt this was really worth considering; it was convenient for operations and closer for discussing things.

“Alcohol’s idea is awesome! I wouldn’t need to find a place to rent either, saving a lot of expenses!” Chen Fengshi calculated that with their appetites, the food bill before breakfast was no small number, let alone the house rent. Although he would not consider renting such an expensive place, it would still not be less than two or three thousand, right?

“Aren’t you worried about exposing your personal information?” Little An asked back. There were plenty of empty rooms at the Base, and free meals were not something she needed to worry about at all; she really had no problem with it. But if they all lived at the Base, they would see each other all the time. If they still wanted to keep their information secret among themselves, it would probably not be easy.

“Just prepare some thin Silicone Masks. It’s not uncomfortable to wear them anyway, I am totally fine with it!” Alcohol instead felt that being careful every day was more fun.

“I have no problem.” Little Huo answered concisely. He actually did not care that much about the secrecy of information. He felt that the Demon Extermination Association was just their few people. Facing the current pace of demon extermination, being completely open with each other was only a matter of time. Everyone couldn’t possibly keep hiding their heads and tails forever, right?

“Golden Blood Seven can live next door to me! The room next to mine is empty. Otherwise, living in my room is also negotiable, but in that case, you have to be my boyfriend first!” Canyue was so happy, but Little An felt it was so embarrassing when she heard it!

“This… thank you for your deep affection, but my heart already belongs to someone else. I can only blame fate for making a joke of me and not letting me meet the beauty first…” Chen Fengshi felt that he really had to say this. At first, he thought Canyue was just joking around, but after hearing her say it more and adding some details, he realized it was not a joke; her personality was just this straightforward and bold.

“Your heart belongs to someone else?”

“Didn’t I tell you?” Little An was not sure. If she hadn’t, she felt it was her responsibility.

“…Alright, then starting today I won’t like Golden Blood Seven anymore.” Canyue said it without any sigh, as if she didn’t even need to digest her emotions, and quickly made such a decision.

Even with Alcohol’s free-spirited nature, she couldn’t help but ask: “You really got over it this fast?”

“Of course. If his heart belongs to someone else, he definitely won’t love me. At most, he will be touched that I love him. How could being together like that make you love each other more and more as you spend time together? The longer they are together, the more he will regret not being with the person he originally liked. That is not what I pursue. The person most worthy of my love will definitely be someone where I don’t need to wait, don’t need to fight for, just naturally liking each other, and liking each other more as we spend time together. Because of liking, there is no room for anyone else to step in. No need to fight, no need to worry about gains and losses, no need to wait for the other person’s love.”

“Canyue, read fewer books when you have nothing to do. What you said doesn’t even happen in TV dramas; it only exists in the unrealistic fantasies of single writers.” Alcohol was very speechless, but she also understood that with this strong idealistic and perfectionist mindset, no one needed to worry about Canyue.

“This is totally not a fantasy, my love will definitely be like this!” Canyue possessed an inexplicable confidence.

Alcohol didn’t even want to say anything about her anymore.

However, Little Huo was deeply moved and agreed with endless sighs: “Canyue, I support you! I also think true love, the most perfect love, is exactly like that! You will definitely meet the most suitable other half!”

“Another single dog, so his head is full of embellished fantasies about love.” Alcohol burst out laughing. She was certainly not polite when talking to Little Huo.

Chen Fengshi did not speak. If he jumped out now, wouldn’t he just be exposing his own traits?
