To clear up a potentially confusing point, keep in mind that the narrative perspective is in first person even though Chen Luonian tends to overall narrate like he’s an observer But little comments like “woman really do have to dress up” are actually his personal thoughts, if you haven’t noticed Refer to (3) for few more examples if you’re interested

Chapter 4: And I Thought it was some Brave Hero
>>Part 1
Huai Zhen’s outfit this time was completely different from last tih long skirt and smock Inside that, she wore a tank top and miniskirt of the same color with short-heeled sandals Underneath the knitted skirt, the beautiful lines of the legs were faintly discernible; outside of that 3 cm wide sleeve on her shoulder, sled a thin silver chain bracelet, on the right she held a silver-white hand bag The soft ends of her hair appeared to have layers which, as she approached, gently bounced from side to side
She hite fro on her left ring finger that occasionally flitted to show red through her outfit, causing contrast which ; in addition, that rare classical style appearance coht out an entire new level of rarely seen style
Chen Luonian inwardly cheered, woman really do have to dress up Last ti, ould have thought that after dressing up she would become three times more beautiful Maybe that tiain, what did she do for that one month before she showed up? Just steal money?
But this is also strange, why is everyone’s eyes all glued straight to her? Though Huai Zhen certainly is beautiful, but she’s still not beautiful to this point of practically being capable of causing the downfall of a city? Nowadays information flows easily, so the truth is that everyone has seen plenty of beautiful girls If a handsoirl showed up on the road…… such as Lai Yixin or Ye Weishan, usually people would just sneak a couple glances at most, and wouldn’t just stare stupefied like this
After thinking of this, Chen Luonian aze to look at Lai and Ye, and couldn’t help but be shocked again Why are these two also staring blankly? Could it be that they realized that she was aat their expressions it doesn’t seem like it
“Hey” Huai Zhen stopped in front of Chen Luonian and s out right?”
“That’s right but, why are you here?” Chen Luonian asked in a low voice, flabbergasted, while glancing worriedly at Lai and Ye, only to see that they were looking at hiht that he and Huai Zhen would know each other
“I figured you were about to be in danger, so I thought I’d come to absorb some” Huai Zhen leaned close Chen Luonian’s ears and softly whispered, s
“Huh? Don’t do it here” Chen Luonian remembered the way Huai Zhen looked2 the last ti a little embarrassed
“I know” Huai Zhen giggled, then turned her head to look to the side and asked: “Your classmates?”
“Yeah……” Chen Luonian looked at the still dazed Lai Yizin and Ye Weishan He couldn’t help feeling astonished as he called: “Senior brother? Senior sister?”
“Ah” Ye Weishan was the first to snap out of it and said: “Chen Luonian, this person…… is she your…… your friend?”
“hello” Lai Yixin was also a bit flustered as he said: “I’m Lai Yixin! May I… may I ask……”
They don’t seeh Chen Luonian was able to relax slightly, but he still couldn’t come up with a way to introduce Huai Zhen He panicked, only to see her open her mouth with a smile and say: “Nice to meet you two I’m his older sister, ?”
Older sister? Chen Luonian shot a glance at Huai Zhen, but closed hisback to watch how she intended to continue fabricating onwards
“Chen Jie Jie3…… We have sos ant to talk to Chen Luonian about, so anted to invite hiaze contained both shock and admiration as she looked at Huai Zhen and replied
“I just happen to want to eat with Chen Luonian too” Huai Zhen said with a s?”
“Of course” Lai Yixin immediately responded
Ye Weshan glanced at Lai Yixin, after seeing the dazed look caused by Huai Zhen’s appearance, who knohat she thought of it4
“Then I’ll just toughen my skin and intrude5” Huai Zhen pulled Chen Luonian’s hand, and s?”
“Not far, Weishan and I will lead you” Lai Yixin while dazed, still re forward
Ye Weishan shi+fted her gaze towards Lai Yixin and started walking, not saying anything more
Chen Luonian walked while lowering his voice to ask: “You…… you…… where did you go this week?”
“You, what you? Call me Jie Jie! Why are you so emotional? Did you miss me?” Huai Zhen joked
“Quit joking” Chen Luonian didn’t have the : “You didn’t trick me, did you? I feel like the way you talk doesn’t resemble the way people talked in ancient times at all”
“With tourists chattering noisily at the side for decades, of course I got use to the s really did require me to come out and experience before I could pick them up…… Ah, these two classmates of yours aren’t ordinary mortals, are they practitioners?”
“You can tell?” Chen Luonian just remembered and hurriedly said: “They’re monster hunters Is it ok for you to meet with them?”
“Why wouldn’t it be ok? I’m not solare, pouting: “According human classifications, you should call me a Fairy6”
Fairy? Chen Luonian shook his head as his lips twitched and asked: “Fairies would s people?”
“Hey!” Huai Zhen pinched Chen Luonian’s ear and yanked it, saying: “You try having the thing you waited three thousand years for get snatched away by soo crazy with anger? When I had half-sed you, I thought about it and decided to spit you back out in the end, so it already counts as being very merciful”
“Hey, hey, let go……” Chen Luonian looked up to see that everyone around atching hie monster, you’re a Fairy Monster7”
“Humph! That more like it” Huai Zhen finally released Chen Luonian, nodded at the two in front and said: “Tell ?”
To clear things up early is also best, so as to lower the chances of Huai Zhen possibly slipping up in front of the two of the a sietting to mention that Lai Yixin had asked hiroup Once he finished talking about the multiple monster incidents, the four had also arrived at their destination
◇◇◇◇
Tucheng District is an inner city district in the southwestern part of New Taipei City8 It just happened to be situated right between the sion, and wasn’t very desolate, but also couldn’t be quite classified as lively At this type of place, the quite reputable Rainbow Leaves restaurant could be counted as already a pretty high-classed choice
The four entered the restaurant on the 2nd floor Ye Weishan had already made reservations so the server didn’t question further, and immediately proceeded to lead the four to a s table, one that could easily fit around eight to ten people
Lai Yixin said as he asked everyone to sit: “So soon, but it’s fine if we start eating first”
The four ordered their meals, then Ye Weishan turned towards Huai Zhen and said: “Chen Jie Jie……”
“Just call me Huai Zhen” Huai Zhen quickly cut in
“Huai Zhen Jie” Ye Weishan readily changed her way of address, then said: “I don’t know if Junior Brother Luonian has mentioned to you before, about the incidents that happened earlier?”
Huai Zhen switch her gaze and replied: “Regarding encountering monsters?”
“Since Huai Zhen Jie also knows, than it’ll be easy to explain” Lai Yixin smiled
“M: “Yixin and I, as well as the two that defeated the monster at Banqiao Station, are all disciples of the same sect We kno to defeat monsters, and it is also our job”
“So it’s like that” Huai Zhen nodded
Ye Weishan continued: “That day Junior Brother encountered monsters three times consecutively Within that, twice Yixin and I luckily made it in time, the other time at Banqiao Station another teaerous If any one of us were late, he probably wouldn’t have made it”
Actually it was four times But the lizard in the last time ed by this particular lance at Huai Zhen
