Monster Paradise - Chapter 246

Chapter 246

It was six in the morning, Lin Huang sat on the rattan chair in the balcony while watching the sunrise . Since Qin Wei left, it was his third day staying in Luoxi City . For the past few days, he did not slack at all . Besides eating and sleeping, he was learning a gun-fighting technique from Lin Xuan in Gun Master . He had mastered one more intermediate gun-fighting technique, the Life Power in his body had finally stabilized .

"It’s almost time to leave, I’ll leave tomorrow morning after my last task today . " After admiring the beautiful sunrise, Lin Huang returned to the room .

The Viridian Wolf was still sleeping in the room while Bloody had been up for a couple of days reading the documents and learning the humans’ language .

"Bloody rest if you’re tired . There’s no need to read them all at once . " Lin Huang advised .

"It’s alright, I'm not tired . Unlike humans, I don’t really need to sleep . " Bloody wrote on the coffee table using the tea in the cup .

"Alright then, I’ll go for breakfast now . I’ll be out the entire morning and afternoon and will only be back in the evening . Both of you stay in the room and don’t run around . "

He planned to buy some souvenirs and food on his last day in the city so that he could bring something back for Lin Xin and Lin Xuan .

"Go, I’ll look after the Viridian Wolf . " Bloody wrote on the coffee table .

Lin Huang nodded and headed out . After breakfast downstairs, Lin Huang called Liang Yin .

"What’s up? Speak quick, I’m a bit busy right now . " Liang Yin picked up the video call, Lin Huang could see that she was dissecting a male body . The chest of the man was opened up and his heart could be seen .

"Oh…" Lin Huang was stunned at what he was seeing .

"Why are you working so early today? Isn’t it only 7:30 a . m . now?"

"Something happened in the city in the middle of the night . 33 people in the Luo family were killed . The forensic team for the city went there before 5 a . m . , I was lucky that I managed to get a couple of bodies . " Liang Yin explained as she proceeded to dissect the body .

"Killing so many people in the foothold? I guess only people from the underworld would do something like that . " Lin Huang frowned .

"I heard they offended the Saints but I'm not sure what exactly happened . I’m busy right now, speak quickly please if you have anything to say . " Liang Yin said .

"Oh, I’m leaving Luoxi City tomorrow morning . Didn’t you ask me to treat you to a meal a few days back? Let me know if you’re free today . " Lin Huang finally said telling Liang Yin why he was calling .

"You’re leaving tomorrow?" Liang Yin stopped what she was doing and looked into the screen .

"Unfortunately, I’m really busy today . I’ll try my best to find the time, however, I think I’d only be free at night and I’m not sure if I can spare some time right now, I’ll contact you again when it’s eight at night . "

"Sure!" Lin Huang agreed immediately .

"I won't bother you then . I'll talk to you tonight . "

After hanging up the phone, Lin Huang left the hotel restaurant and shopped at the stores that he saw on the map buying many souvenirs and food . It was past seven at night when he returned to the hotel . As he arrived in his room, he took out a roasted pig . The size of the roasted pig was comparable with the one he made at home . The Viridian Wolf stood up immediately, starred at the roasted pig while drooling .

"Don’t eat all of it, put away some for Bloody . " Lin Huang patted the Viridian Wolf’s head . Since it had gotten Lin Huang’s approval, it started feasting on the roasted pig . Meanwhile, Bloody just looked in their direction and proceeded to read . Lin Huang sat on the couch while reading the news, the top local news read - Murder of 33 People from the Luo Family . Lin Huang frowned as he read the news .

The Luo Family was a family known by many in Luoxi City . Although there were no transcendents or royalty in the family, they had a very successful business and well known throughout the city . The family home was in the middle of the foothold, which was the most crowded place in the city . Many people had seen two people in white robes kill their guards, invade into the house and leave in less than 10 minutes .

With the description from the witnesses, the duo should be members of one of the underworld organizations, the Saints . The Saints were easy to recognize, they wore a white robe with a cross on their faces . Nobody would dress as one of the members because if someone did, he or she would be hunted down by the organization and savagely killed .

"The Saints…" Ever since he arrived in this world in the past year, Lin Huang had encountered the Purple Crow and the Heretics . His impression of the underworld was not good .

The Saints had a bad reputation, which was almost the same as the Purple Crow .

"I shouldn’t spend any more time here; the other hunters can handle this . " Lin Huang didn’t want to have anything to do with such an organization as he’d be bringing trouble to himself .

It was almost eight as he read the news, Liang Yin called as she promised . Lin Huang picked up the call immediately .

"I’ve finally finished with my work, where are we meeting?" Liang Yin asked right away as the call was connected .

"Let’s meet at the Union Government entrance, I’ll pick you up . "

"Sure, I’ll wait for you . " Liang Yin nodded .

Lin Huang then patted the Viridian Wolf who was still eating, "Buddy, we need to head out for a while . "

The Viridian Wolf was unhappy as it transformed into a card . Through the three-day-long experiment, Lin Huang confirmed that his pods had the same effect as Bloody’s . As long as it wasn’t recalled, the parasite would remain there forever . However, compared to Bloody, his version of Leech Pods was the weaker version where he had to touch the host’s body to make it work . Moreover, he could only put in one seed at a time .

"Bloody stay here and don’t forget to eat when you’re hungry . " Lin Huang pointed at the remaining one-third of the roasted pig on the floor . Bloody nodded and Lin Huang left . When he got out of the hotel, Lin Huang immediately summoned the Viridian Wolf . Seeing that there was still a parasite in it, Lin Huang frowned . He rode on its back and headed to the Union Government .

Lin Huang then spoke to Xiao Hei .

"Would the parasite stay even if I’ve recalled the card and summoned it again?"

"Yes, some of the parasites can only be removed by a Cleansing Card . Returning it to its card form will not change anything . "

Lin Huang just realized that his experiment did not require him to summon the Viridian Wolf all the time . However, since he could not remove the parasite himself, that also meant that other people could use parasites to take over his monster . He didn’t like that .

10 minutes later, Lin Huang arrived at the Union Government’s entrance . Liang Yin was already waiting . Riding on the Viridian Wolf, she asked .

"Where are we having dinner?"

"I know of a place that makes good offal dishes, you should have been there before, it’s not far from here . " Lin Huang knew Liang Yin loved such food that’s why he picked the restaurant .

"Do you mean Tang Sanzhang?" Liang Yin asked .

"Yes, that’s the one . " Lin Huang nodded .

"But it’s expensive, are you sure you want to treat me there?" Liang Yin was unsure .

"Don’t worry about it . Although it’s a little bit pricey, I can afford it . " Lin Huang nodded and smiled .

Lin Huang had researched the place before; it was pricey because all the food was fresh from iron level to gold level monsters . Silver level hunters like Lin Huang would need at least tens or hundreds of Life Crystal for a meal there . It was not for the ordinary people .

"Since you insist, I won't decline . " Liang Yin said .

After riding on the Viridian Wolf for another four to five minutes, they stopped at a cross junction . Lin Huang recalled the Viridian Wolf and headed to the luxurious restaurant . It wasn’t even 8:30 p . m . yet and it was already crowded inside . However, Lin Huang had made reservations earlier after speaking to Liang Yin on the phone . After confirming his identity, a tall female service crew brought them to a table for two .

As they sat down, Lin Huang started ordering . Most of them were intestines of different monsters which were Liang Yin’s favorite . Besides that, they ordered a plate of meat, vegetables, and fruits .

"See if there’s anything else that you want . " Lin Huang passed the menu to Liang Ying after ordering .

"It’s okay, it’s enough, I don’t think I can finish all of it . " Liang Yin didn’t take the menu Lin Huang passed her .

"What would you guys like to drink?" The service crew asked while smiling .

"I would like a cup of passion fruit juice . How about you?" Lin Huang looked at Liang Yin .

"I’ll have the same, I like passionfruit too . "

As the service crew left, Lin Huang laughed .

"I thought you would have some exquisite drink preference as well . "

"You’re overthinking things . Girls usually love drinks that are sweet and sour, I'm like that as well . What about you, why don't you drink any alcohol?" Liang Yin asked him .

"I've something to do tomorrow morning once I have left Luoxi City, I must maintain my peak performance . " Lin Huang didn’t dislike alcohol but he disliked the hazy feeling he got after drinking . Especially in this world where anything could kill him, he did not want to let his guard down .

"Why not you stay for a couple days more? Although the city isn’t bustling, it isn’t bad at all . " Liang Yin asked .

"Maybe in the future . It’s true that this city has an odd sense of peace that I don’t feel in many of the footholds . " Lin Huang nodded as he said what he felt .

"I thought so too . Unfortunately, the peace was broken this morning . " Liang Yin smiled awkwardly .

"You mean the Saints? The Hunter Association will send someone to handle the situation . Don’t worry about it, the Union Government would do something to get them too . " Lin Huang comforted her .

"These underworld organizations are too much! I heard that the family was killed just because one of the sons published a post called Cult Religion on the Heart Network . There were only two sentences about the Saints in the post which read - The so-called Saints are just a bunch of lunatics who show off about their religion . What they are doing is the total opposite of what moral and decent religions have . They are just a bunch of lunatics who do whatever they want . Just because of that, the two Saints members killed his entire family . " Liang Yin knew the entire incident .

Lin Huang frowned as he listened .

"We can never understand what such people are thinking, the way they think is different from ordinary people . "

"You’re speaking as if you are related to many people from the underworld organizations . " Liang Yin looked at him .

Lin Huang smiled without saying anything . Soon, the food was served and out of the many different intestine dishes, Lin Huang only tasted a few pieces . Two of the dishes were good and he could not tell that those were intestines .

It was almost 10 at night when they were finally done with dinner . As they walked out of the restaurant, Lin Huang asked her .

"Where do you stay, do you need a ride?"

"It’s alright . If my mom sees you, she might bring me to try on wedding gowns tomorrow . She’s afraid that I might not marry anyone . " Liang Yin rejected .

"Alright then…" Lin Huang hailed a monster car for Liang Yin .

Hopping on the monster car, Liang Yin turned around and smiled widely at Lin Huang before she even sat down .

"Safe journey!"

"Okay, thanks . " The monster car left leaving Lin Huang waving goodbye to her .

After sending her off, Lin Huang summoned the Viridian Wolf and headed back to the hotel . It was past 10 when they arrived at the hotel . As he went into his room, Bloody wrapped itself around his arm and pulled him towards the couch .

"What’s wrong?"

Bloody used some water in the cup and wrote on the coffee table again .

"I have learned all 120,000 words; the human language is really profound . I would need a couple more days to be able to use all of them .

"I’m envious of such a learning ability…" The main reason why Lin Huang wanted the Supreme Intelligence skill was because he wanted the learning ability of a transcendent . There were 120,000 words in this world’s most common language . So far Lin Huang had only mastered 8,000 words . However, Bloody had managed to learn 120,000 words within three days .

"We'll be leaving Luoxi City tomorrow morning . I'll have to put you away and let you out when we arrive at the Meteorite Desert . I'll need your help then . " Lin Huang said .

Bloody nodded and wrote on the coffee table again .

"Sure, let me know if you need anything . "

After recalling Bloody, Lin Huang cleared up the mess in the living room that the Viridian Wolf had made . It was almost 11 when he was done, he took a shower and went to bed…
