Chapter 67 (1/2)

“Those sc.u.ms from the Coalition. Pfft!” Lin Derong took a good look at Xiao Bai and figured that she was too unique to be considered a normal human being. He could not hold back his anger recalling the rumor that the Dark Coalition was experimenting on human-beast hybrids.

“Worry not. I will get you an ident.i.ty.”

Even if Qin Feng were not one of the orphans that had lived here before, Lin Derong would still happily lend him a hand.

After all, he was the generous philanthropist that had donated the beast general’s meat to the orphanage.

Thus, Lin Derong had no reason to reject when Qin Feng came to ask for his aid.

“So, what’s your name? Do you have one?” Lin Derong asked.

Xiao Bai blurted naturally, “I’m Xiao Bai!”

Lin Derong was irritated. Was that not more like a dog’s name?

Despite that, he forced a smile and said gently, “Let’s use a more elegant name, shall we?”

Xiao Bai turned to Qin Feng, who was equally embarra.s.sed. The name “Xiao Bai” was made up by him. At first, Xiao Bai did look like a Hiromi dog and she is theoretically still a canine after she transformed into a fox. But this name was indeed inappropriate for the pleasant young lady she appeared to be now.

Looking into the glossy pair of eyes on Xiao Bai’s face, an idea popped up in Qin Feng’s mind.

“Let’s call you Bai Li*.”

“Bai Li?” Lin Derong gave it a thought and nodded. “This will do. Let me key this in.”

While Lin Derong was busy editing the info, Qin Feng stroked Xiao Bai’s long hair. Though it was not as fluffy as her fur, it was still silky smooth.

“From now onward, you should introduce yourself as Bai Li, Qin Feng’s girlfriend. Just tell them I am your boyfriend if someone asks about me, okay?”

“Yes, master.” Xiao Bai, also known as Bai Li now, nodded obediently. She comprehended that Qin Feng did not want her to address him as master anymore.

‘Is it a taboo in the human world? No wonder the two-legged female creature was overreacting just now.’

In her mind, Bai Li had automatically registered “boyfriend” into the same category as “master”.

Shortly afterward, Lin Derong had completed the registration and uploaded the data into the new communicator bought by Qin Feng. He then pa.s.sed it over to Bai Li.

Beep beep beep!

The communicator that belonged to Qin Feng rang abruptly.

“Qin Feng, why are you not in school today? Skipping cla.s.s on your very first day?” Zhou Hao asked in a concerned manner. He wondered what had happened to stall his best buddy from coming to school.

He went to the university by himself today. Though Qin Feng owned a hover car, Zhou Hao knew just how bad the traffic could get inside the colony in the mornings. It would be very troublesome for Qin Feng to pick him up so he politely refused his kind offer to fetch him when they parted the day before.

After all, he was just a buddy and not his girlfriend.

To his surprise, Qin Feng was nowhere to be seen when he went to look for him after cla.s.s. He asked around and found out that he was absent today. That was when he decided to contact Qin Feng.

“I have some urgent errands to run,” Qin Feng answered ambiguously and did not provide the details.

“I see. Please do remember to come in the afternoon. I heard that there will be an important a.s.sembly.” Zhou Hao reminded him.

“Okay. I will be there.”

He hung up and then took his leave from Lin Derong’s office. However, before he stepped out of the room, he could not help but turn back. “Old man, I took part in the illegal arena to strengthen myself not long ago. Those men there tried to blackmail me with this orphanage. I might have accidentally caused you unwanted trouble. But be rest a.s.sured, I will sort it out quickly.”
