Chapter 510 - Begging for Tender Care (5)
The cute, goofy murderer frowned. He glared at Vermilion Bird and the little Phoenix.
“Stupid birds. Shut up, or I will roast you and eat you!”
“Believe me. I will roast you first!” Vermilion Bird rolled up his sleeves as if he was ready to hit him.
Shen Yanxiao’s head hurt when she looked at the two arguing children. She reached out and pressed her hands on their heads to keep them separated before they could fight.
“Vermilion Bird, stop it. We have to set off in a moment.” She really did not have the time to fool around with those two idiots.
The Vermilion Bird snorted, but he said nothing more.
When he heard that Shen Yanxiao was about to leave, the cute god of killing appeared quite unsettled. He looked terrified like a cub that was about to be driven out from his herd.
“Sister, you are abandoning me…” He sounded as if he was about to cry as he looked at Shen Yanxiao with tears in his eyes.
Shen Yanxiao covered her face.
“You can come with me. But you have to promise me that you will not create any trouble!” She had already discussed with Uncle Nine about what would become of the former killer.
The young man’s name was Lan Fengli. They were not sure if his memory loss was temporary or permanent. Therefore, they did not want to leave him with Uncle Nine and the other villagers. There might be a chance that he would slay every last one of the villagers in a swift action should his memory return.
On the other hand, he could not stay in that village as well. The people from the Graveyard of the Sun might take Lan Fengli and revert him to his evil personality. He might still be an assassin after that.
After a lengthy discussion, Shen Yanxiao decided to take the unstable murderous boy with her. She had the Vermilion Bird and Xiu’s protection so she would not be in danger even if the young man got his memory back.
The former vicious killer smiled through his tears after learning that Shen Yanxiao was willing to take him with her. He hugged her with a silly smile on his face as tears trickled down her face.
“Sister, please don’t leave me behind. I will behave. I will listen to you. I won’t eat much, and I won’t make any trouble. I will do whatever you tell me, and I will only follow your instructions.” That adorable former killer said as he sobbed. Even a person with a heart of steel would yield to such a promise.
Shen Yanxiao found it hard to find her next words. If it were not for Lan Fengli’s unique situation, she would not want to bring that ticking time bomb with her.
However…
The former killing god was incredibly cute!
After everything was ready, Shen Yanxiao bid farewell to Uncle Nine and the other villagers.
Outside the village, the Vermilion Bird transformed into a huge firebird, which astonished the villagers.
The little Phoenix rested the firebird’s head as it flapped its wings gladly and made a chu-chu sound as an invitation to Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao hopped onto Vermilion Bird’s back and turned around to look at Lan Fengli, who stared at her from the ground.
Should she give him a hand and help him up?
While Shen Yanxiao tried to decide if she should do so, the cute boy kicked backward and leaped into the sky like a floating feather. Then, he landed gently on the Vermilion Bird’s back.
Well, it turned out that she had worried about nothing. An amnesiac former killer was still a killer, nonetheless. His blood-thirsty nature might have been gone, but his skills did not diminish.
Shen Yanxiao sat on the Vermilion Bird’s back with her legs crossed. Little Phoenix wobbled its way to her arms and curled in a cozy position. The endearing Lan Fengli sat behind Shen Yanxiao, but he was afraid to move.
The Vermilion Bird finally spread his two huge wings of fire, took flight, and set off for the Saint Laurent Academy.
