The Hero in Exile

"How long are you going to do this? It bothers me that you're still lying here." Moran said with a sense of evil.

Lingyu then dared to carefully stick her head out, and found that she had already returned to the familiar hotel. When she looked up, she saw Moran's disgusting face. Well, maybe it wasn't that disgusting.

Feeling that she was being teased, Lingyu said angrily: "Do you want to die?"

Moran noticed that Lingyu's hand had been placed on the holy sword at his waist. Thinking that the joke had gone too far, he quickly put Lingyu back to the ground.

"I was just joking, sorry."

Moran lowered his head, crossed his hands and spoke solemnly, opening one eye to secretly look at Lingyu's reaction. Lingyu ignored Moran, put his hands on his chest (although he didn't) and turned his head away without even looking at him.

"Humph."

Huh? Just like that? This was really unexpected. If it were the previous time, he would have already drawn his sword. Moran cancelled the small magic shield on his chest in disbelief.

Moran still looked at Lingyu's back with some doubt. If she hit him, I would always feel uneasy.

"Don't look at me like that." Lingyu felt the gaze behind her, turned her head and bit her lower lip and said shamefully: "Can you turn around? I'm going to take a shower."

"Oh, forget about it. I'll get back to it right away."

Moran then remembered and ran to the window in panic with his cheeks rapidly heating up, trying to divert his attention by looking at the scenery outside.

Tap tap tap—

Bang Bang —

"call."

Only when he heard Lingyu close the door did Moran let out a long sigh of relief, leaning on the windowsill with one hand supporting his forehead. The breeze also made his mind free up a lot.

In the bathroom, Lingyu had already filled the bathtub with water. She stretched out a foot to test the temperature, which was not bad. She soaked her whole body in it, and the stickiness and sweat from a tiring day were washed away.

Lingyu couldn't help but sigh that the technology in this world was not too bad. At least there were faucets with adjustable temperature. However, the weapons still seemed to be in the Middle Ages.

After a while, the water in the bathtub gradually cooled down, and the stains on her body were washed away. Lingyu stood up from the bathtub and walked to a mirror. Her figure and face were so perfect, but perfect things always have some flaws.

"It would be better if it was bigger. He would probably like it then." Lingyu said subconsciously.

Wait, what did I just say! Lingyu reacted and squatted in the corner with her head in her hands. Although she was the only one who heard it, she still wanted to die. Why did she have such a thought? It must be because she soaked in the water for too long and damaged her brain.

"Yes, that must be the case."

Lingyu turned on the faucet and poured water over her head in an attempt to calm her anxious heart.

"Moran, that bastard."

"Aqiu, who is talking about me?"

In an abandoned house in Ruilin City, the man in black respectfully said to the "shadow" in front of him: "My lord, I have found the person you want."

After he finished speaking, two people came in carrying a black sack.

"put it down."

"Yes."

The black sack was thrown at the feet of the man in black. When the sack was opened, the person inside was the man who had moved the fake photo to the city gate. His hands and feet were tied and his mouth was blocked with sackcloth.

"Cough cough" Shadow coughed twice.

The man in black immediately understood, "The two inside can go out now."

Only after the two men left did Shadow turn around and look at the man on the ground.

"That's the guy, right?"

"Yes sir."

"Shadow" slowly leaned down and looked at the man. He had been making a fuss just now, but after seeing his eyes, he felt a chill on his back.

"Let me ask you a question. Did you see a man and a woman coming to you a few days ago? And one of them could use holy light."

"Yes, yes, yes... After they found me, they went into Ruilin City. I swear I didn't lie to you." His strong desire to survive made him unable to care about so many things.

"Hahaha." Shadow laughed crazily. "Great! The Pope won't blame me anymore. Find these two people for me within a month. If you work hard, the church will give you enough rewards."

After saying that, he threw a bag of gold coins at the man's feet.

The man picked up the bag and shook it. It was quite full and joy naturally appeared on his face.

"What about this guy, sir?"

"I beg you all to be kind and let me go. I will never tell anyone about what happened today."

"Then I'll leave this man to you. I'm leaving first." After saying that, he disappeared into the night.

"Then you are mine." The man gave a wicked smile.

That night, strange noises were heard from an old house in Ruilin City from time to time.

The shadow walked in the alley, mumbling something to himself.

"Moran, if you just give your head to the Pope, I... I will definitely get the Pope's attention." As he said this, he hugged himself, twisted his body and let out a creepy laugh.

"Ah, who is talking about me?" Moran shook his head.
