Chapter 476 (2/2)

“Okay. I’ll lead you to where I was hiding. I’ll let you know more about this spirit.”

White Flame turned as she lead the party towards a certain direction. Hao Ren and the rest could only follow. Vivian and Wuyue was still in a daze, especially Vivian, almost as if she had seen an exotic animal. As she looked at White Flame’s back, she poked Hao Ren in the back. “That… you really think we can work with a demon huntress that appeared out of nowhere?”

“I think it’s fine.” Hao Ren shrugged. “The MDT’s scan detects no killing intent from her hormones or mental signals. She is still cautious thought, you lot are natural enemies after all. But don’t you feel that she’s a rather unique one compared to the usual demon hunters?”

“She is indeed different.” Vivian’s expression was rather languid. “I never seen such a demon hunter in my life. She seems much more… easy-going than those stiff as wood demon hunters?”

At the same time, White Flame turned back and Vivian by instinct was about to pull out a bat. But the former only just popped a question. “Mind if I ask? How did you guys even got around to work together?”

As she finished her sentence her gaze turned towards Nangong Sanba. Her decision to work together with the supernaturals stemmed from the fact that a demon hunter was already working together with them, but she could not figure out how did the group came into being.

Hao Ren rubbed his chin for a moment, “If I were to say it’s for world peace would you believe me?”

“World peace? Such a beautiful sentiment. I never thought someone would be motivated by that.” White Flame nodded seriously. “That’s admirable.”

“….”

It seems like this lady over here is even more innocent than Lily is!

But it was understandable why White Flame lacked social skills. This was one of her rare training forays. As the only demon hunter with an awakened bloodline in a few generations, she was under sheltered care from birth. Her childhood and youth was a regiment of nonstop training and study, and interpersonal communication was not high on the priority list. Even if she went hunting it was with an escort or under the watch of senior demon hunters. As one of the rare prodigies, White Flame had no need to learn how to communicate,. That was what her masters thought: All she needs to know is how to fight, anything else is a waste of time.

Under the tutelage of senior demon hunters, she hunted, fought, killed, and trained. Rinse and repeat, that was her schedule for a good part of her life.

This hunt in Siberia was a chance that she managed to grasp for herself. Even then, her tutors were hesitant at first, but after considering the fact that Siberia was rather sparsely populated, and did not have any strong supernatural presence, they relented. Her masters would not have thought that she’ll run into a bunch of oddballs like Hao Ren there!

“Don’t mind if I ask.” Hao Ren spoke as he looked at White Flame’s back. “The spirits have haunted the Andreas for three hundred years, why only now that you guys sent someone here?”

“Because there’s no need to clean this place up to begin with.” White Flame said without turning back. “I’m just here to train my hunting skills. This spirit wasn’t in our kill list at all.”

Lily got agitated as she heard that. “No need? Why?”

“Because they are harmless. The spirits is being sealed here.”

Hao Ren could not comprehend the flippant answer. “Harmless? The Andrea Family have been dying off left right and centre because of that thing.”

“Harmless, because they won’t go to somewhere populated. It is trapped within this castle, and it’s radius of activity is limited. So it’s harmless.” White Flame only then turned around to explain. “When it does escape its captivity, then we’ll exorcise it. This is the elder’s opinion. But I needed somewhere to train, so here I am.”

Hao Ren could not conjure a response. “See how they are? That’s a demon hunter for you.” Vivian whispered into his ears
