update icon Updated at 2023/1/19 14:08:58

Ji Bai, who had spent less than ten minutes devouring the whole bowl of noodles, said goodbye to the owner of the shop and then walked out of the shop. At the same time, he glimpsed at the four knights sitting in the luxurious restaurant but found that they had disappeared.

After having lunch, Ji Bai was very satisfied because of his full stomach. Therefore, Ji Bai regained his confidence in finding a job and went on his journey.

Walking on the streets in the blazing sun, Ji Bai picked the residue between his teeth with a toothpick and intended to throw it away. However, Ji Bai found there was no trash can nearby.

As a well-educated knight at present, it is naturally impossible for Ji Bai to throw the drop litter, which this kind of behavior is incivilized. After taking a look around, Ji Bai's gaze settled on the alleyway at the side.

“Maybe there would be some trash can there”, Ji Bai thought to himself and then walked in slowly. , After throwing the toothpick into the trash can there, when Ji Bai was going to go out, a pungent blood came into his nasal cavity suddenly. This smell of blood ....... It seems to be.

Ji Bai's eyes stared and turned into the depths of the alley. As he explored deeper, he heard a delicate moan (meow) faintly .

There was only one inconspicuous corner deep in the alley. When Ji Bai turned his head, a delicate body wrapped in a tattered hemp cloth squirmed a bit. It turned out that it was a cherry-haired girl, looking only about seven or eight years old. At this moment, this little girl looked not good, her porcelain-doll face filled with faint white and torment, her snow-white ankles bleeding the blood slowly from the direction of the wound.

“If this momentum continues, I am afraid she will be dangerous if the bleeding is not stopped!” Ji Bai thought.

"Are you okay? It's okay. Don't be afraid, I want to send you to ........ right after." When this sentence has not finished, Ji Bai froze, the outstretched hand floating in mid-air stopped. Not because of other reasons , he saw the pair of furry cat ears on top of the girl's head.

The demon species!

In a flash Ji Bai withdrew his outstretched hand, his eyes frozen at the cat-eared infant girl who was crawling in pain and struggling on the ground. Ji Bai took a step back without moving naturally.

Demon Seed ...... How could the demon species appear in the human city-state? Then .... What should I do now?

Looking at the pale, life-draining alien in front of him, Ji Bai was silent.

As a human, a Holy Martial Knight who aims to kill the demon species by oath, the best solution to this situation is to offer this young cat girl girl to the Holy Martial Association and not to bear any responsibility himself, but I am afraid that this cat ear girl's life .......

"Oooooooo uhhhh ...."

When Ji Bai was stunned, the cat-eared girl seems to have sensed that someone was looking at her in front of her. So the girl gritted her teeth and opened her amber eyes. Her eyes were full of fear and panic, her tiny body was shaking like pounding garlic cloves. Besides, her skin was too much fair and her bony body was as thin as wood, all of which showed that her state of health was not optimistic at present.

"Can, can you not hurt me? I, I have no malice towards humans. Look, even if I starve, I have no incentive to hurt humans ....." The childish voice was trembling with a hint of crying in it.

As a former knight, did I waver? ...... Ji Bai bit his lips and clenched his fist, becoming bewildered and overwhelmed for a time.

The demon species ....... The demon species is the enemy of mankind! If it is not destroyed in time, the human race will meet the doom one day. If I spare it now, did it stand against the human race? For them, that bunch of beasts, there is absolutely no mercy!

Thinking of this, Ji Bai showed a struggling expression and finally clenched his teeth as if he had decided, and walked towards the young and helpless cat lady slowly .

"Oooooooo~ Yeah, I'm sorry, I was just so hungry that I couldn't resist thinking to come here and rummage through the trash can .... If that's not right, I'll never do it again ....."

Ji Bai, who had just walked up to the cat girl, fell into a daze once again, looking at the starving, bony cat girl in front of him, who still had wounds on several parts of her body, overlapping with a certain part of his memories.

Ji Bai’s tightly clenched fist finally put down slowly . Ji Bai sighed, always feeling that he was getting old and was becoming sentimental, just like a woman.

"Don't move around."

"Eh eh?" Seeing Ji Bai put his hand out, the cat girl looked flustered.

"I'll help you bandage your wound, don't move." Ji Bai squatted down, pulled out a white silk scarf from his pocket, pinched the cat girl's small, snow-white ankle and began to make a simple bandage, at least to stop the bleeding first.
