Xilin's Stats Are Way Too High!

"Taking a shower? So late?"

Bai Yu asked with a face full of doubt.

"Yeah, just finished studying," Bai Xuan replied, but his gaze shifted to Xilin standing inside his room.

He could not possibly leave Xilin alone outside. Thinking about it every which way, the only way he would feel at ease was to let her stay in his own bedroom.

Fortunately, Bai Yu never entered his room casually, and on top of that, the soundproofing of this apartment complex was quite good. As long as they did not intentionally speak loudly, the commotion inside the room would not be heard.

The only thing that needed to be overcome was simply the awkwardness of living under the same roof.

"Studying?"

Hearing the word "studying," Bai Yu immediately rolled her eyes.

She certainly did not believe that Bai Xuan would honestly study at home.

It had to be him playing computer games until this hour, or else reading online web novels.

"Get some rest early after you shower," Bai Yu admonished.

"Got it, you get some rest early too."

"Yeah."

Bai Yu turned and went into her own room; having been busy all day, she also needed to take a nice shower.

When the commotion outside died down, Bai Xuan lowered his voice and said to Xilin, "Xilin, you go take a bath first, wash off the blood stains on your body."

"Mm." Xilin nodded in agreement.

She first propped the Lightless Sword against the wall, then proceeded to remove the white-and-gold armor from her body, neatly placing the pieces down one by one. Yet when the heavy armor was completely stripped away, the attire underneath made Bai Xuan raise an eyebrow.

Beneath that heavy, cumbersome armor, Xilin wore only a snow-white one-piece leotard embedded with a golden gem at the chest, tightly wrapping around her body and perfectly outlining the curves a female knight ought to have.

She possessed no exaggerated muscles; on the contrary, she was full and shapely, with well-proportioned limbs, smooth lines, and not a trace of superfluous fat.

Only those two mounds of snow-whiteness...

A stat of 97.5 was indeed a bit high.

Of course, Bai Xuan was not too surprised either.

After all, Xilin was a succubus holy knight. How could magic-related things be explained with science?

"Right, do you have a change of clothes?" Bai Xuan asked.

"My holy garment has a self-cleaning function." As soon as Xilin finished speaking, she turned and walked into the bathroom.

"A self-cleaning function?" Bai Xuan was stunned, pondering inwardly.

Yet before a moment had passed, Xilin walked back out of the bathroom and said to him, "I have never seen the apparatuses here; can you teach me how to use them?"

"Oh, right..."

After teaching Xilin, Bai Xuan retreated from the bathroom.

His gaze landed on Xilin's suit of armor, which still had a few traces of blood stained on it.

"I'll help her wash it." Bai Xuan walked toward that pile of armor, intending to clean it up.

After all, this was his primary combat strength at present.

Yet when he reached out to pick up that set of armor, the entire person froze instantly.

So heavy!

Even just a single bracer weighed several dozen kilograms!

Then this entire set of armor... wouldn't it weigh several hundred kilograms and upwards???

Bai Xuan immediately knitted his brows tightly. Xilin actually wore several-hundred-kilogram armor everywhere she went?

Hiss...

Quite fierce!

Not long after, Xilin walked out from the bathroom.

She was still wearing that snow-white one-piece leotard. Although it wrapped around her entire body, many details could still be seen... Coupled with damp, golden long hair clinging to her snow-white skin, a pair of aquamarine eyes emitted an exquisite luster under the light.

Fine, I admit you're a succubus.

After stepping out of the bathroom, Xilin sat down cross-legged, and Bai Xuan immediately retrieved the bedding from the cabinet.

His small bed was only a meter and a half wide, barely enough for one person to sleep on, so he had no choice but to wrong Xilin into sleeping on the floor.

"Get some rest early."

"Mm."

As soon as Bai Xuan lay down, he passed out cold. Affected by the depletion of vital energy and blood, he slept straight until seven-thirty the next morning.

When he stretched and got up, he instinctively glanced toward the side.

Xilin was already awake, stretching her physique in the room.

Soft sunlight spilled over her figure, outlining lines of immense visual impact.

Just as Bai Xuan was quietly appreciating this beautiful morning scene, Bai Yu's call suddenly traveled from outside the bedroom door: "Bai Xuan, are you up yet? Breakfast is ready."

"Oh, coming."

Bai Xuan immediately answered, and after a simple wash-up, he gave Xilin another reminder before turning to walk out of the room.

He had no plans to inform Bai Yu of Xilin's existence for the time being, so as not to cause her needless worry.

Arriving at the living room, breakfast was already laid out on the table: steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soybean milk.

Bai Yu was already sitting by the table, except her attention was entirely focused on the tablet in her hand.

"What are you looking at?"

Bai Xuan asked out of curiosity.

Yet when his gaze swept across the tablet screen, he froze for a moment.

What was playing on it was precisely the footage from last night of Xilin battling the ghoul!

"A video. Two of our squads encountered an anomaly last night."

Bai Yu explained to him while chewing on a steamed bun, "We sacrificed several security officers, but fortunately a female knight stepped in at the end and resolved that anomaly."

"A female knight?"

Bai Xuan deliberately put on a puzzled look and pursued the question, "Is it that kind of Western knight from the Middle Ages?"

"Yeah."

Bai Yu nodded lightly, with a bit of regret mixed into her tone: "It's just that she was wearing a helmet, making it completely impossible to distinguish her face."

"So the Public Security Bureau is investigating her now?" Bai Xuan picked up a fried dough stick and continued to press.

"As long as it's people or things related to anomalies, the Public Security Bureau will definitely investigate." Bai Yu hastily finished the steamed bun in her hand and immediately stood up, saying, "I'm off to work, eat slowly."

"Oh, right."

Bai Xuan nodded, watching Bai Yu out the door before letting Xilin come out of his room.

He asked casually, "Want a steamed bun?"

Xilin shook her head, looking completely uninterested in human food.

Her gaze merely fell on the fresh milk to the side, and then she turned to Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan immediately understood tacitly, picked up the milk and handed it to her, then admonished: "I'm going to school later, you stay home and wait for me obediently."

"Okay."

Xilin nodded gently while drinking her milk.

After finishing breakfast, Bai Xuan hurried off to school.

Before leaving, he even gave his treasured comics to Xilin so she could pass the time at home.

Because anomalies existed in this world, high schools and universities were no longer distinguished in schools, and their core function had long since changed into purely talent distribution.

Once this year's selection examinations concluded, Bai Xuan would be able to choose his own future.

Whether to join the ranks of fighting anomalies—such as becoming an Investigator, a security officer, or the like—or choose to plunge into ordinary industries.

Strictly speaking, therefore, he was currently considered a university student about to enter an internship phase, only that internship qualifications needed to be determined through selection.

Just arriving at school before his butt had even settled into his seat, Zhao Fan from the front row leaned over and said excitedly, "Bai Xuan, did you hear? An anomalous event happened at Baida Plaza yesterday!"

"An anomalous event?"

"Right!" Zhao Fan said, directly handing over his cell phone. "Look!"

Bai Xuan looked at Zhao Fan's phone; the video showed a perspective shot taken by a passerby—the combat scene between Xilin and Xu Yan.

"This is fucking awesome too!" Zhao Fan grew more and more excited as he spoke. "A medieval female knight fighting a man-eating female monster! It's simply like watching a game CGI! The fight is so exhilarating!"

"It really is quite cool." Bai Xuan completely agreed with Zhao Fan's view; after all, he was the one at the scene.

"It's freaking awesome! Wait? Fuck!" As soon as Zhao Fan finished praising, he suddenly cursed in a low voice, his finger swiping rapidly across the screen. "Why is the video taken down? I haven't saved it yet!"

"Damn it!"
