The Female Knight's Master?!

"Bruce!"

"No--!"

The male doctor's eyes widened, filled with agonizing despair!

He could not believe it!

The strongest zombie he had created had been obliterated by a single sword strike!

This was his life's work!

How could this happen?!

"Did you modify your own body as well?"

Bai Xuan noticed the male doctor's abnormal eyes, and could not help furrowing his brow.

Truly disgusting, no wonder Bai Yu had that kind of reaction earlier.

"Don't! Don't kill me!"

After losing the zombie's protection, the male doctor panicked instantly, and hurriedly begged Bai Xuan for mercy: "I'll give you all my money! Please spare me!"

Bai Xuan remained unmoved, and simply asked: "Why did you create zombies?"

"What zombies! This is evolution!" The male doctor gritted his teeth and defended himself.

"Evolution?"

"Of course!"

A trace of fanaticism flashed instantly in the male doctor's eyes, and his tone turned proud: "The things that woman brought are enough to usher in a complete revolution for the entire medical field! Didn't you see? Their strength and speed far exceed ordinary people!"

Bai Xuan continued to press: "Who brought them? What are they?"

"I'll tell you, and you'll let me go?" The male doctor narrowed his eyes and countered.

"Maybe." Bai Xuan shrugged with a calm tone.

"It was a female ghoul! She brought a tube of blood over from White Sea City!" The male doctor said immediately, "I only got a single drop of it, and I created those powerful and obedient servants! If I could get more blood, I'd definitely shake the medical field!"

Ghoul?

Wasn't that Xu Yan?

Bai Xuan continued to ask: "Where is the rest of the blood?"

"How would I know! You'll have to go ask that ghoul! Who on earth did she sell it to?" The male doctor sneered, "However, didn't you already kill her?"

"..."

Bai Xuan fell silent for a moment, turned his gaze aside, and gave Xilin an order: "Kill him."

Xilin acknowledged the order and raised her sword, pointing the Lightless Sword coldly at the male doctor.

"Bastard!"

Seeing that Bai Xuan had no intention of sparing him, the male doctor flew into an instant rage: "I'll fight you to the death!"

He roared and lunged at Bai Xuan.

Yet before he could dash a few steps, an intangible sword beam flashed, instantly severing his legs.

"Ah--!"

The male doctor shrieked as he collapsed to the ground, gritting his teeth in furious roar:

"You bunch of fools! You don't understand my ideal at all! This is technological progress! This is the hope for humanity to break through its limits! This is the future!"

Bai Xuan could not be bothered to reply.

Xilin slowly raised her left hand, her voice cold: "Filthy and despicable necromancer--!"

"Your despicable deeds will eventually be spurned by the world!"

"Your soul shall be utterly annihilated in the holy light--!"

"Sealed in the depths of hell for eternity!"

As her words fell, a blazing golden flame ignited in her palm.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xilin swung her hand and hurled that flame toward the male doctor.

In an instant, the male doctor was completely swallowed by the golden flame, letting out a piercing, ultimate scream:

"Ah--!"

"So painful! What kind of flame is this!?"

"No! No! I know I was wrong! Spare me!"

"Ahahaha--!"

Amidst the continuous screams, his cries for help gradually grew weak, and finally fell completely silent.

As the golden flame gradually extinguished, only a corpse remained on the spot.

Although there were no marks of burning from the flames, his state of death was exceptionally gruesome.

Bai Xuan understood that Xilin was truly angry.

Even though her expression remained calm, an unquenchable fury burned within her eyes!

For a paladin, bastards who desecrate life were indeed unforgivable.

"The mission is complete, let's go back."

"Mm."

Bai Xuan immediately took Xilin and left.

Not long after they departed, a young girl wearing a red cheongsam and a hair bun drifted lightly down from the air.

She first gazed at the spot where Bai Xuan and Xilin had vanished, then looked down at the two corpses on the ground.

She tilted her head in confusion and muttered softly:

"A step too late? And who were those two?"

As soon as Bai Xuan teleported home and turned on the room light, he heard Bai Yu's voice coming from outside the door:

"Bai Xuan? Are you still not asleep?"

"Just finished."

"?"

"I went out, even though tomorrow is the weekend, don't sleep too late."

"Okay, be careful."

After Bai Yu left, Bai Xuan immediately submitted the mission.

[World Quest: Zombie Disaster (Completed)]
[Quest Reward: Character Setting -- Spirit Medium (Green), your agility attribute is slightly increased!]
[Spirit Medium (Green): You possess the ability to see spirit bodies and converse with them.]
[Refresh Scroll +1]

"Spirit Medium?"

Seeing the quest reward, Bai Xuan felt a trace of joy flash in his eyes, and immediately added this character setting to himself.

[Add character setting "Spirit Medium" to yourself?]

Yes.

[Character setting "Spirit Medium" added!]

Meanwhile, his agility attribute increased to E+, and the World Book's legendary charge reached forty percent.

And along with the increase in agility, Bai Xuan clearly sensed the changes within himself--!

Agility was not merely about speed, it also affected his reaction capability.

At this moment, he felt as though everything around him had slowed down slightly, making movements and details much easier to catch.

"Is it already two in the morning?"

After dealing with everything, Bai Xuan realized it was already two in the middle of the night.

He and Xilin finished bathing, and then sank into slumber.

At the same time, just as Bai Yu hurried to the private hospital, she saw the Public Security Bureau clearing the scene and dealing with the corpses.

She immediately asked Liu Qian: "What happened?"

"Bai Yu! You're finally here!"

Liu Qian said excitedly, "That female knight appeared again! She saved us again!"

"She appeared again?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Bai Yu's face, yet once again, she had missed it.

"Yeah! I'm telling you..."

Just as Liu Qian was about to continue, a voice came from above them:

"Hey, how much do you know about that female knight?"

"Who are you?"

Bai Yu and Liu Qian looked up at the young girl floating in mid-air, astonishment showing on their faces.

Transcendent!

The young girl landed lightly beside the two of them and spoke: "I am Li Hongyou from the White Sea City Investigation Bureau."

"How much do you know about that female knight?"

"We don't know all that much either," Bai Yu replied immediately. "But we can confirm two points: she is not a bad person, and she only recently appeared in Ninghang City."

"Who's to say, aberrants have always been a bunch of hard-to-control fellows." Li Hongyou shrugged indifferently, and pursued with another question: "Is there any other information? For example, who is the male companion following by her side?"

"Male?"

Hearing this, Bai Yu and Liu Qian could not help exchanging glances, their faces full of confusion.

"It seems you don't know either."

Catching the blank looks on their faces, Li Hongyou wore a speechless expression: "I thought you might know some clues, I must have thought too much."

"Can you describe his physical features?" Bai Yu asked immediately: "Maybe we can help you track down his information."

"He concealed his appearance, I can't accurately describe it," Li Hongyou shook her head and continued, "But I can confirm that he is that female knight's master, and that knight obeys his orders entirely."

"The female knight's... master!?"
