Little White Rabbit Is So Cute!
Bai Xuan looked up at the girl in the cheongsam hovering in the sky, surprised.
A Psychokinetic Esper?
"Miss Hongyou! You're finally here!" Huang Xin called to Li Hongyou. "But you seem to be a little late. We dealt with the trouble at the Public Security Bureau a few minutes ago."
Li Hongyou glanced down at the Tyrant lying on the ground, her tone grave. "I didn't expect a Biochemical Monster like this to appear while I was away. We need to report this to our superiors as soon as possible."
Huang Xin replied at once, "Rest assured, Miss Hongyou. I've already reported everything that happened here to the Investigation Bureau..."
While the two spoke, Liu Qian approached Bai Xuan and Xilin. "Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I might have died three times over!"
"As an upstanding citizen, it was the least I could do," Bai Xuan replied casually.
As he spoke, the Slime Mask on his face changed to a smiling face.
"Could I add you on WeChat?" Liu Qian asked, hurrying closer. "I want to treat you both to a meal!"
"Liu Qian! They're wearing masks because they don't want to reveal who they are, and you're asking for their WeChat..." Bai Yu gently tugged Liu Qian's sleeve and reminded her in a low voice.
"Ah! I almost forgot! Sorry, sorry!" Liu Qian quickly patted her head in apology, then added quietly, "You can come find me in secret, then. My address is XXXX. I'll definitely treat you to a meal!"
Bai Xuan didn't take her repeated invitations too seriously. He had no intention of taking her up on them. "We'll come if we have time. We have something to do, so we'll be going."
With that, he prepared to leave with Xilin.
Suddenly, Li Hongyou called out to them. "Wait, you two."
"Something wrong?" Bai Xuan asked, turning back.
"..." Li Hongyou hesitated, then said, "Never mind. It's nothing."
Bai Xuan didn't ask any further questions. He activated the Teleportation Array, and a pink light flared beneath his and Xilin's feet, spreading rapidly until it enveloped them both.
As the dazzling pink light swirled, their figures blurred and vanished before everyone's eyes.
"Where did they go?"
"They disappeared!?"
"Who on earth are they?"
"..."
Everyone exchanged bewildered looks, unable to understand how Bai Xuan and Xilin had disappeared.
"Those two really are mysterious," Huang Xin said with a smile. He turned to Li Hongyou. "How should we handle them? Under Investigation Bureau regulations, all Espers must register in case their powers go out of control. Those two are no exception. If they refuse to cooperate..."
"That's a matter for Ninghang City. What does it have to do with me?" Li Hongyou gave him a cool glance. "I only came here to carry out the task my superiors assigned me."
"Right." Huang Xin patted his head and smiled.
He had almost forgotten that each city's Investigation Bureau governed its own affairs.
The directors of those bureaus were all managed and assigned by the National Strategic General Bureau, but that was another matter.
That was why Li Hongyou had stopped herself earlier. This had nothing to do with her.
The first thing Bai Xuan did when he got home was take off the Slime Mask and let out a long breath.
He had made it to the Public Security Bureau in time and saved Bai Yu.
But the incident had also driven home just how dangerous her job as a Police Officer was.
He couldn't stay by Bai Yu's side forever. The only solution was to modify her!
Once he found a suitable Character Setting, he could give it to her.
Something like a superwoman setting...
Bai Xuan set the thought aside and turned to Xilin. "Xilin, are you all right? How much of your magic has recovered?"
"It's recovering slowly. I can still move around," Xilin answered honestly.
"That's good," Bai Xuan said. "Go take a bath and get some rest early tonight."
"Mm."
Xilin nodded and headed toward the bathroom.
Then she stopped, turned back, and took the pajamas they had bought recently from the wardrobe. Holding them against her chest, she went into the bathroom.
Listening to the sound of running water, Bai Xuan opened the Quest Panel and turned in the quest he had just completed.
[World Quest: Public Security Bureau Defense War (Completed)] [Quest Reward: Item—Gene Enhancer ×3 (Green)!] [Gene Enhancer (Green): Slightly increases all attributes after use. (Can only be used once)] [Refresh Scroll +1]
"Oh?"
A flicker of delight crossed Bai Xuan's eyes.
He hadn't expected the reward for this quest to be three Gene Enhancers.
He immediately took one out and injected it into his arm.
The moment the serum entered his body, a brief stab of pain hit him. What followed, though, was an indescribably pleasant sensation.
At the same time, he could clearly feel all his attributes rising sharply!
[Bai Xuan] [Age: 18] [Rating: F] [Attributes: Strength D, Agility D+, Constitution E, Spirit B+] [Identities: Transmigrator (Red), Student (White), Spirit Medium (Green), White Dove (Green)] [Ability: Legendary Book (Multicolored)]
"Spirit's still B+? But Constitution jumped straight from F to E..."
Looking at the changes on the panel, Bai Xuan understood: the higher an attribute's rating, the harder it was to improve.
"One for Xilin, and the other for Bai Yu..."
As soon as he had decided, Bai Xuan paused. He frowned and fell silent.
How was he supposed to get Bai Yu to use it?
Doing that could easily expose his identity.
"Forget it. I'll figure it out when the time comes! Worst case, I'll sneak up on her after she falls asleep!"
Bai Xuan couldn't help making the joke. Then he turned his attention to the World Book's Legendary Charge.
After completing this E-rank quest, the Legendary Book's Rare Charge had reached ninety-five percent!
"Only five percent to go!"
A faint smile lifted the corners of Bai Xuan's mouth.
With one more quest completed, he could summon a second Legendary character!
For now, though, he needed to wait for Xilin's magic to recover.
No matter what, safety came first.
"I'm done."
Just then, Xilin emerged from the bathroom.
She had changed into the pajamas she had picked out herself: a pure-white one-piece with a pair of long, floppy rabbit ears hanging from the hood. The whole outfit looked adorable.
When they had bought it, Bai Xuan had thought it didn't suit Xilin at all.
After all, Xilin looked like a cool, aloof Female Knight. It was hard to picture her as a little rabbit.
But now that she was actually wearing it, Bai Xuan couldn't take his eyes off her.
The pajamas hugged her body, tracing her generous curves. Her impressive, snowy-soft mounds swayed slightly as she moved, irresistibly soft and alluring.
Damn!
What a big little white rabbit!
This new skin is great!
