Chapter 115: Reminder

With that, the matter was considered resolved.

“Thank you so much, Wind Feather,” Lin Xinyan said, expressing her gratitude on behalf of Shi Ji.

This seemed to be exactly what Wind Feather wanted to hear. His serious expression quickly shifted to a playful smile.

“Hehe, since you’re thanking me, how about going on a date with me?”

Just as the words left his mouth, Auntie Cai immediately hit Wind Feather on the head.

“Wind Feather, you have the nerve to criticize Divine Hunter. You’re an S-level hero, but with your lewd behavior, you’re a disgrace to all S-level heroes.”

Wind Feather clutched his head and stepped away from Auntie Cai.

“Hey! Auntie Cai, let’s mind our own business, alright? Why do you always oppose me?”

Auntie Cai stood beside Lin Xinyan and smiled at the exasperated Feng Ling, “I don’t care if you flirt with others, but Xinyan is under my protection.”

“You…”

Auntie Cai seemed to be Wind Feather’s nemesis. Even though he was an S-level hero, he couldn’t stand tall in front of the A-level Auntie Cai.

At this moment, Alloy, who had been silent, spoke to Lin Xinyan and Shi Ji, “Divine Hunter is just like that. To be honest, he gave me a hard time too.”

Lin Xinyan was a bit surprised, “I didn’t expect that even you…”

Alloy laughed, “That guy always looks down on newly promoted heroes.”

“So how did you deal with it?” Lin Xinyan asked.

“I beat him up,” Alloy replied with a grin.

Lin Xinyan laughed immediately, and Shi Ji praised Alloy, “Good job, big bro!”

Hearing Shi Ji call him “big bro” gave Alloy a bit of an invisible pressure.

“Hey, hey, don’t call me big bro. Call me brother, that sounds better. You, daring to confront Divine Hunter head-on. I heard from Auntie Cai that you’re not even a hero yet. Even though I beat Divine Hunter up, his strength is still undeniable. Be careful next time you run into him.”

Among the heroes, only a few made Shi Ji uncomfortable, while the majority were quite decent. This improved his impression of the Star Alliance.

“Oh, got it!”

Shi Ji’s mouth curled into a secretive smile as he said this.

With so many people around and Lin Xinyan having spoken up, he’d let it slide this time. But the next time he encountered Divine Hunter, if he still had that annoying attitude, Shi Ji wouldn’t hesitate to teach him a lesson.

Auntie Cai and the others just happened to bump into Lin Xinyan and Shi Ji while they were leaving, and came over to say hello. After a bit of casual conversation, the group parted ways, leaving only Xinyan and Shi Ji.

Once they were alone, Xinyan’s relaxed expression turned serious. She turned and stared at Shi Ji, unblinking, like a superior reprimanding a subordinate.

“Xinyan, why that look?” Shi Ji asked, scratching his head.

Lin Xinyan even pointed her finger at his nose.

“You need to change your attitude. First, you encounter Blade, then Divine Hunter. Blade is ranked among the top S-level heroes, not someone you can casually offend. If Black Dragon hadn’t intervened this time, you’d be in big trouble. As for Divine Hunter, even though he’s annoying, this is a special time. We don’t know when or how many anomalies will appear, or what their levels will be. Every person counts, and the safety of the citizens is most important. If you want to deal with him, wait until this crisis is over.”

Listening to Lin Xinyan’s scolding, Shi Ji resembled a child being lectured. He listened earnestly and then obediently nodded.

“Oh, I understand.”

But did he really understand? Who knows?
