Chapter 1041: Chapter 489: The Skylark’s Trace

Ding dong.

As the security door opened, Gu Jianlin stood expressionlessly at the entrance with a suitcase in hand.

"Please co in."

Xia Zhi stole a glance at him. Initially, she thought a villain had co knocking, which frightened her into taking out her defensive Alchemy Weapon, currently hidden under her skirt, ready for ergencies.

In fact, she considered herself a rather shrewd girl, her wet long hair draping down, while a loose purple casual outfit accentuated the curves of her chest. Below the skirt were long snowy legs, her calf lines slender and smooth, and her feet in cork slippers were also attractive, toes painted with pink nail polish.

Paired with slightly red eyes, she looked pitiful.

No trace of aggression.

No one would suspect such an adorable girl would suddenly pull out a dagger from under her skirt to stab soone.

It was unexpected that the visitor was a tenant.

And quite a delicate-looking young man.

"Thank you."

Gu Jianlin politely thanked her and entered, casually glancing at the girl, and based on the room’s decor and furniture, quickly sketched a rough personality profile in his mind. Not very detailed, but sufficient.

Penniless, embarrassed, foolish, ambitious, lacking acun.

Enjoys eating snail noodles, suffers from dysnorrhea, has had cats, is keen on buying skincare products that are essentially intelligence taxes online, biggest entertainnt is laughing at variety shows, and was dumped by a secret crush not long ago, etc.

Heavenly Master Path, Superdinsional Level Fourth Rank, quite average for a twenty-six-year-old.

Overall, just an ordinary girl.

Xia Zhi hurriedly poured him a cup of hot water and invited him to sit first on the sofa. As she was just about to sit down herself, she suddenly heard that indifferent voice.

"The dagger under your skirt will poke you."

Gu Jianlin spoke expressionlessly.

Xia Zhi’s actions froze, her cheeks burned with blush.

Yet the next mont, she felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.

Because she realized the gaze of the boy opposite seed to have seen through her completely.

"Most single won living alone are potential victims, so being vigilant is normal, no need to feel embarrassed about it; this is a good thing. However, your walking posture is obviously stiff, an expert could see it at a glance." Gu Jianlin casually pushed out his credentials and docunts, all prepared beforehand by the Shadow Departnt.

Xia Zhi took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, pretentiously taking them to examine.

No wonder, turned out he stepped back from the front line.

She looked at the resu secretly marveling, especially upon seeing the Ying Family marker, realizing the prominent identity of the boy opposite, only puzzled why he chose to rent a room in her flat.

"I have things to do, so this place is convenient."

Gu Jianlin said calmly.

Xia Zhi was taken aback: "Are you... a Spirit dium? Divination Master?"

This boy seed almost like he had the Mind Reading Technique.

Gu Jianlin thought for a mont: "Ghost Slayer."

Since everyone knew him as Divine, he generally used Ghost Slayer to conceal his identity.

Xia Zhi hesitated for a mont, she knew it was unreasonable for such a person to stay here, likely harboring ulterior motives, easily dragging her into trouble, but considering the recent big incident, with Magic City about to beco a battlefield, probably nothing could be worse than this, right?

Moreover, he paid six months’ rent upfront, and quite handsoly.

Besides, his voice was pleasant, he looked good.

Shouldn’t be a bad person.

"I’ve read the rental contract; I won’t cause any trouble or ss up your place, nor engage in any perverted actions, but I recall... you promised to arrange three als?" Gu Jianlin inquired calmly.

"Ah."

Xia Zhi pinched her skirt corner: "I cook myself, is that okay?"

Gu Jianlin nodded: "Where’s my room?"

Xia Zhi hurriedly took him to his room, opening the door and turning on the light.

Gu Jianlin looked at the pink girlish room, with straps and underwear scattered across the bed, lost in thought.

"Oh, I’m sorry."

Xia Zhi quickly bowed and apologized: "I’ll tidy up soon..."

Gu Jianlin slightly frowned, for in this girl’s bedroom, he saw an ani poster depicting a crimson Ancient Dragon ready to soar, blooming Mandala Flowers, and a girl amidst the floral sea.

"What’s this?"

He casually pointed.

Xia Zhi’s face changed slightly, quickly tucking the poster away, whispering: "Skylark, haven’t you heard? Recently, Buzhou Mountain revived again, igniting an unprecedented fierce battle, even the Heavenly Fire God General guarding the Pamir Plateau died. Survivors escaped back to the country, drawing the exquisite profile they saw. Skylark and Qilin are currently said to be the strongest two monsters in the Human World, and you don’t know them?"

What happened to the frontline...

Gu Jianlin remained silent for a long ti, realizing that bad woman was seen as such an unattainable figure from the outside.

During those days in Tokyo, they often went out for late-night snacks, him watching her leisurely enjoy the food, even forced to help her tie up her long hair, after dining they walked under street lamps side by side, and then went ho to sleep.

"You admire her?"

He casually asked.

Xia Zhi stuck her tongue out: "Not really, just think she... looks nice? Make sure not to tell the Judgent Court, otherwise they might investigate

again."
