Slaying Dragon

  Sleepy eyes, turned around to take a look, it was a pretty handsome young man, 24 years old, my good brother in the game before, named Song Han, nicknamed Little Wolf, specializing in assassin profession, also the best player among our group!

  Knitting his brows tightly, I thought of Li Xiaoyao's heroic life, now being swept out the door, to the point of sleeping under the dew for a night. How can this shame be let known to good brothers? If they knew, what would happen?!

  I said in a low voice: "Recently, I've been practicing a profound martial art that requires me to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, wind, frost, rain, and dew. So, I slept outside last night, you know... Little Wolf, why did you run over here?"

  Song Han glanced at the toothbrush and instant noodle bowl beside me, his mouth twitching: "How does it look like I've been kicked out... how long hasn't paid rent?"

  I shook my head: "It's all an illusion, you and I are both adults, we should see through the surface to the essence. Didn't your politics teacher teach you that?"

  Song Han sneered: "Xiao Yao Ge, don't deceive yourself, was it your stingy landlord who made things difficult for you?"

  I shook my head: "How could it be, you're overthinking..."

  ……

  At this moment, the door of a room on the right side opened, and the landlady stuck her head out to take a look, but pretended not to see me and Xiaolong. She muttered to herself, "Hmph, that Li Xun didn't come back last night. Not paying rent is one thing, but not even paying utilities? And they still ask for an extension of a few days? Bah! What's wrong with young people these days? Strong and healthy, but can't even do something proper. Can't even pay rent, really have no prospects. Such a person deserves to be single all their life, a lifelong bachelor!"

  I'm speechless, you can scold me for being poor, but you can't curse me to a lifetime of not having a girlfriend, that's too vicious!!

  Song Han sneered: "Hmph, you're really too ruthless. Xiao Yao Ge, you've tolerated her for so long, it's really admirable of you. Otherwise, I'll go in and kill her, twisting off her head."

  "Put down your butcher's knife, young hero..."

  "Then wait for me for half an hour!"

  "What's up?"

  "You'll know soon enough!"

  I tidied up the bedding and luggage, tied them into bundles, so it's no problem to go anywhere. After waiting for a while, Song Han came back, holding a big bucket with a strong smell, filled with yellow dung. I couldn't help but frown: "Little Wolf, what are you going to do with this?"

  Song Han smiled, pulled out a small bag from his pocket, which was filled with green and oily grasshoppers and other small insects. He said: "I went to Liu Dage's yard to get some fresh hot flying insects, and I caught a big bunch of grasshoppers from Wang Po's yard. Ha ha, your landlady is so shameless, let me give her a long-lost style - shit grasshopper!"

  My whole body trembled with anticipation for what's to come next.

  "Xiao Yao Ge, hide further away!"

  "Hmm!"

  I carried the quilt and ran away for over ten meters, while Song Han put the bucket next to the landlord's wife's wall, opened the convenience bag, and poured a large pile of cicadas into it. As a result, the cicadas were covered in golden powder, jumping from the bucket onto the wall, windowsill, and leaving behind richly poetic marks that couldn't be washed clean.

  Taking a deep breath, I suddenly slapped one hand on Song Han's shoulder: "Little Wolf, you really are the good brother I've cultivated for three lifetimes!"

  Song Han smiled and said: "Hurry up, leave this place of right and wrong!"

  "Good!"

  Behind me, I heard the landlord's wife, Mrs. Schuster, yelling at me, but it didn't matter, I never planned to see her again in this lifetime.

  ……

  On the street, I carried luggage on my back, and Song Han helped me hold bowls and plates.

  "Xiao Yao Ge, I've come to see you this time because I have something on my mind." He said, holding a porcelain bowl.

  I nodded: "I know, go ahead and say it, what's up?"

  Song Han stopped in his tracks, clenching his fists, with a fierce glint in his eyes, and smiled: "I want to find you, as well as Old K and Hu Li, reorganize the Dragon Slayer Workshop, we will create a heroic legend in Tianming, what do you say?"

  I looked at him and asked: "Do you have money to buy a helmet?"

  "Not for now!"

  "It's getting out of hand, let's wait a bit, make some money first!"

  "Xiao Yao Ge, you've already been kicked out, what's next? Where are we going to live?" Song Han looked at me with concern.

  I burst out laughing: "Hmph, do you think this can stump me? I'll just go to the company and apply for a night shift. From now on, I'll spread out my bedding in the company's lobby at night and sleep there. After all, there's a water dispenser and a toilet, everything is ready!"

  Song Han nodded: "Alright then, it can only be like this. Once I've gathered enough money to reassemble the Dragon Slayer, I'll look for you again!"

  "No problem, go ahead and take care of your business, where have you been hanging out lately?"

  "Oh, I applied for a pastor's license and help people host weddings in the chapel..."

  "Great, promising...". I gave a thumbs up: "Go find the certificate handler to get me a pastor qualification certificate, we can help people host weddings together!"

  "Great!!"

  ……

  Company.

  Security Director Old Yu slammed the table and chair, pointing at my nose: "No way! Night shift is not something you can get just because you want it. Our department has so many security guards, everyone wants night shift, you think you can monopolize it? Not a chance! And what's with bringing your quilt to the company, what do you plan to do, start a rebellion?"

  I smiled mildly: "Leader, how could I have such audacity?"

  "Hum, consider yourself lucky, you're off this afternoon, now get your messy bedding out of here!"

  "Yes, leader!"

  Carrying my bedding, I walked out of the company gate. Hmm, rejected again. Sleeping in the company doesn't work anymore. But no matter how many times the world rejects me, I'll treat the world like it's my first love. My attitude must be good, because attitude determines everything. Let's find another way then.

  At this time, a police car suddenly stopped me on the side of the road with a loud screech. The door opened and a familiar figure appeared - it was Wang Xin, the captain of the criminal police brigade, who had also been my direct superior!

  "Get on!" Wang Xin said calmly.

  I nodded, threw the bedding into the car, sat in the back and said, "Captain Wang, aren't you inviting me for tea? I've been away from the criminal police team for two years, shouldn't there be anything left to clean up?"

  Wang Xin laughed: "You little brat! Hmph, from special police to criminal police, from criminal police to traffic police, from traffic police to auxiliary police, and from auxiliary police to security guard. Others are getting promoted step by step, but you're taking an unconventional path?"

  I felt slightly embarrassed and said, "It's nothing..."

  Wang Xindeeply looked at me and said, "At the time you were kicked out of the criminal police team, I knew it wasn't your fault, but you were too straightforward. There was a case that no one dared to investigate, yet you insisted on investigating alone. Although you finally caught the murderer, you also saw the consequences - they had ways to deal with a small policeman... At the time, I wanted to protect you, but unfortunately, I didn't have the power. You won't blame Uncle, will you?"

  I shook my head and smiled: "Let's not mention what happened before, I've already forgotten..."

  "Hmm!"

  Wang Xin hugged his arms in front of his chest and said lightly, "This time I'm looking for you, I want to give you a task, a very serious task, I hope you can consider it!"

  "What task?" I asked.

  "Tiandu Group, you know? Currently the largest military technology provider in southeastern China and also a leader in cutting-edge technology."

  I nodded: "I know, what's wrong?"

  Wang Xin smiled: "The powerful strength of the Tianxin Group is coveted by many parties, and even foreign forces have infiltrated. However, the chairman of the Tianxin Group is a military man and is not afraid of him. His only weakness is his daughter. He has hired many bodyguards, but almost none of them can do the job, so I thought of you..."

  I sneered: "No way, I'm not accepting any more of these so-called missions. I've had enough of being the scapegoat in the end!"

  "No, it's different this time. You just need to protect that young lady from any harm and the commission is very high."

  "How much commission?"

  "8,000 yuan per month!"

  "Uh..."

  After weighing it repeatedly, I shook my head resolutely: "Forget it, I refuse! Uncle Wang, I don't want to do those bloody jobs anymore. I think being a security guard is pretty good. In the two months I've been here, the most dangerous thing that's happened was a water dispenser tipping over..."

  Wang Xin: "......"

  After a while, he looked at me: "Alright, I'll privately raise the price, give you 10,000 yuan monthly salary, is that okay? In this line of work, except for hitmen, there's no better treatment..."

  What a great temptation!

  I almost choked, with a war in my heart, saying: "One W's words, uh, I need to think about it again, I don't want to sign another contract of selling myself..."

  The king's team took a glance at the luggage beside me and said, "That... apart from the 10,000 yuan monthly salary, I'll also give you an air-conditioned quilt, downy!"

  "What?!"

  My body shook, I clenched my fists: "Air conditioner quilt or down quilt... Humans can't resist the down air conditioner quilt... I... Fine, I'll do it!"

  Wang Xin smiled: "Alright!"

  "After some thought, I said: 'However, you have to return my old partner to me. I don't want to rely on just a pair of fists to protect a young lady worth over 100 million...'"

  Wang Xin nodded: "Hmm, your stuff is in the trunk of the car, go get it yourself! Once you've got it, I'll take you to meet the client. If everything goes smoothly, the agreement will be officially formed!"

  "Good!"

  ……

  Get off the car, open the trunk, a black long box is placed there, exceptionally familiar. Lift the lid, an ancient long sword is placed inside. I stretch out my hand to touch the sword, a kind of familiar thick feeling transmits into my palm, can't help but laugh: "Little Black, we haven't seen each other for two years!"

  Wang Xin stood by, saying: "I staked my life to guarantee it, and only then did I bring out this fierce sword. Hmph, Li Sanlang, you little scamp, you're really something else! Using a sword like this to cut off the hands of the former city governor's son - hey, there's nothing you don't dare do!"

  "I calmly said: 'Some things, no one does, I'll do it.'"

  "Off you go, see the master!"

  "Good!"

  ……

  After more than ten minutes, the car slowly stopped beside a luxurious and majestic gym. The long sword was wrapped in black cloth and held in his arms, following Wang Xin into the venue. From afar, the sound of clashing swords could be heard. Hmm, there are masters!

  (Today, I was planning to burst out with the VIP tickets, but so far only a few thousand votes have been cast, not enough! How can I get an excuse for bursting out? This way, it's like saving drafts for Yezijie!)
