From Then On, Lin Li and Bai Bufan Lived Happily Ever After Together

From Then On, Lin Li and Bai Bufan Lived Happily Ever After Together

"You don't believe me, bro?" Lin Li was genuinely disappointed, staring speechlessly at Bai Bufan. "What reason would I have to lie to you?"

"Mm-hmm, then swear an oath." Bai Bufan nodded perfunctorily.

"Not being trusted feels pretty disgusting." Lin Li was getting a little angry.

"Mm-hmm, then swear an oath."

"You know what kind of person I am. Usually, I can joke around with you and be very easygoing, but if you touch my reverse scale, I'll let you know what true darkness is. I'm what they call a Child-faced Wolf—innocent and naive on the surface, but worldly and perceptive underneath. I've never lacked thunderous methods or a Bodhisattva's compassion. There is Buddha and demon in my heart, but I sealed the demon away deep inside, leaving only the Buddha. I originally wanted to face everyone with a Bodhisattva's compassion, but you insist on making me unseal the demon in my heart. So let me ask you, Bai Bufan—when a true demon comes into the world, can you still keep it under control?"

Lin Li was really, really angry.

"Mm-hmm, I'm actually Braised Chicken, Lord Child-faced Wolf. Now swear an oath." Bai Bufan remained utterly unmoved.

"I can swear this oath, but from this day on, we'll sever all ties." Lin Li said coldly.

"Mm-hmm, then swear an oath."

Lin Li took a deep breath.

Moo Moo, I'm sorry! If I didn't sacrifice you, I couldn't preserve my reputation.

"This was your choice, Bai Bufan. You'll regret it!" Lin Li was really, really, really angry.

"I swear—" Lin Li sneered and stared straight at Bai Bufan. "If I took part in that Massage Parlor case over the weekend, then my—"

Looking at the anticipation in Bai Bufan's eyes, Lin Li's lips trembled. Then, he silently lowered the finger he had raised.

Damn it, damn it, he still couldn't do it! Bai Bufan, that beast, had chosen to betray him in pursuit of the truth. But if he, too, betrayed his chicken roll for the sake of so-called reputation, then what difference was there between him and Bai Bufan? They were both just beasts!

Lin Li was with the Animal Protection Association. Bai Bufan could hurt him, but he absolutely could not hurt adorable Moo Moo.

So Lin Li and Bai Bufan looked at each other. And looked. And kept looking.

Sometimes, silence was also an answer.

When Lin Li noticed that the corner of Bai Bufan's mouth was already starting to twitch, he was nearly unable to hold it in himself.

General Yu possessed him directly. Lin Li pointed at Bai Bufan and forced a serious expression. "Don't laugh!"

But those words were like a fuse, instantly setting Bai Bufan off. Bai Bufan collapsed onto the desk and began convulsing all over.

They said people had actually laughed themselves to death before. Lin Li watched this scene with concern, praying inwardly for his good brother.

Was there a risk of him not dying? Hopefully, there was.

It would be best if he could depart this world forever and die a miserable death.

Fuck, hurry up and die already!

Failure always ran through one's entire life. That was life—Bai Bufan regretfully survived.

After laughing for ages, just before the English teacher could no longer hold back her anger, he barely managed to sit upright.

He looked at Lin Li. "No wonder you clearly didn't screw me over that weekend, but when they gave me an Aruba just now, you were even more enthusiastic than they were. Turns out I'd been cursing you all along."

"Fuck, it all matches up. It all matches up! I was wondering why you ran off the moment Evening Self-Study ended last week. Was that for this too?"

"Kind of, but not really. I went to gather intel." Lin Li did not feel much shame about it. If he had been found out, then so be it. To be honest, Lin Li did not care if his few bros knew about it, as long as strangers did not.

And with Lin Li's mindset, even if the whole world found out, he would only have a headache for a while before ceasing to care.

"Wait, so the person you swore you fought hand-to-hand with was actually... you! You went off behind my back to have a good time!" Bai Bufan's eyes widened as realization finally dawned on him, and he questioned Lin Li.

"I didn't go behind your back. I went by myself. Besides, you don't have legs? You want me to carry you too? Walk there yourself." Lin Li regained his composure and sneered.

Bai Bufan: "?"

"I really didn't curse you wrong. I went too easy on you this morning! How could you sneak off like that? You're not human. Your Lao Xi Ling Chicken Roll isn't clean anymore—" Bai Bufan said in grief and indignation.

"Don't slander my innocence out of nowhere. Use your brain and think about it—if I'd gone that far, would I still have gotten this money and these prizes?" This was the one point Lin Li needed to clear his name on.

"So it was completely green?"

Lin Li gave him a meaningful smile.

"Fuck you!"

Bai Bufan could not take it anymore.

But Bai Bufan was not the only one who could not take it anymore.

"Bai Bufan! Lin Li! Go stand at the back of the classroom and attend class! Stand separately! You haven't listened for a single minute since class began!"

After English class ended, all the boys in the class who were close to them found out about it.

As for how they found out, it was not because Bai Bufan had a big mouth. Lin Li was certain that if he asked him not to, Bai Bufan would never deliberately spread it around.

The two of them were true friends.

Rather, when they came over as a group to ask him about it, Lin Li figured that since Bai Bufan already knew, continuing to hide it would be a little too much like a Joker, so he simply told them.

He did tell them not to mention it to anyone else.

Lin Li was not on good terms with every boy in the class. Some classmates were merely classmates; though there was no enmity between them, they could not be considered friends.

After all, not everyone could accept Lin Li's personality, and Lin Li likewise found them boring.

Being interesting was the true essence of life.

Yet after telling them, not only did Lin Li receive no mockery or teasing, but after their initial shock, a whole group of people looked at him pitifully, their eyes filled with admiration, envy, and boundless curiosity.

This was the new knowledge they craved beyond measure.

So that Lin Li would tell them more, everyone banded together and made Zhou Baowei—who had unknowingly cursed Lin Li that morning—get involved with Menliang as well. Bai Bufan, the victim not long ago, became the most excited perpetrator at this moment.

When would this cycle of vengeance ever end?

"Mister Lin, your great revenge has been exacted! Please impart more knowledge to us!" Several people asked sincerely at the stairway landing.

Zhou Baowei, clutching his crotch and walking pigeon-toed, had no complaints either. He stood among them as well, looking at Lin Li.

There was no personal desire in his eyes, only the thirst for knowledge and exploration that countless teachers wished to see in their students' eyes.

Pure.

Rounding up, it could be considered the heart of an innocent child.

Although he did not like Menliang, if being in love with it would let him and his brothers hear the stories, he was willing.

Sacrifice the small self to fulfill the greater self.

Lin Li did not keep anything to himself, explaining everything he could as thoroughly as possible.

Then, in his brothers' eyes, he saw heartfelt reverence and longing.

Your demon-slaying deeds have already spread to the ears of your fellow disciples in the Nansang Sect.

Your junior brothers are all proud of what you have done and filled with yearning, hoping that one day, they may slay demons and vanquish evil alongside you.

The sect's prosperity is every disciple's responsibility. Cultivating talent for the sect is likewise a duty you cannot shirk.

Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. Yet teaching requires more than empty theory; only through practice can one understand their own limits.

The task of slaying demons still rests upon your shoulders. Since that is the case, why not bring along your fellow disciples and jointly undertake the grand endeavor of demon slaying?

Task Triggered!

Task Four: Bring at least one fellow disciple and deeply cooperate with the Demon Suppression Division to wipe out a Joyous Union Demon Den.

Reward: Physique Improvement: Appearance and Charm +10%; Random Pill *1; System Currency *50.

Lin Li, who had been telling "Lin Li's Amazing Adventure Story," froze as he looked at the notification that had appeared.

For fuck's sake.

This could trigger a task too?

Would taking people to visit prostitutes get him struck by lightning? What kind of Ascendancy System was this? Had this system attached itself to him just to help the Massage Parlor boost its revenue?

But after thinking it over carefully, Lin Li realized it was not too bad. This task could be completed along with Task Two; it was basically a freebie.

The warning bell happened to ring. After agreeing to continue the story during the next break, those who needed the restroom went to the restroom, while those who needed to return to class went back to class.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan returned to their seats.

"Bufan, if—I'm saying if—I need to go crack down on prostitution again, would you be willing to come with me? I'll cover the cost." Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan.

Bai Bufan sharply turned his head.

Staring straight at Lin Li, he answered almost instantly, "Bai Bufan is a terrible name. From today on, I'll be called Lin Bufan. What child doesn't take their father's surname? Don't you agree, Dad?"

Lin Li: "..."

He gave him a thumbs-up.

A real man knew when to yield and when to stand tall.

"Dad, what did you just say?"

"I said, would you be willing—" Lin Li was about to repeat himself.

"Yes, I do!" Bai Bufan tightly grasped Lin Li's hands, bursting into tears of joy as though he had just been proposed to.
