Never Thought You'd Be This Kind Of Hero! Chapter 20

"Where are we going today?" In the end, he was still a child. After putting on a taut expression and not saying a word, he was also feeling restrained. He ate meat while also secretly looking at Xu Jun's expression, almost seeming like a vigilant little leopard.

Unfortunately, a small leopard is still a small leopard, so no matter how carnivorous he is; he still can't change the fact that he's a feline. Thus, after he ate and drank his full, he wanted to play. Xu Jun handed him a cup of cold water, and Ti Na gulped it all down. His eyes shone brightly as he watched the traffic pa.s.sing by. He had never seen so many people. People were hollering out their wares, wearing strange things, gathering to chat. He even saw a warrior with a gemstone-inlaid curved sword at his waist, and his eyes widened with admiration.

Xu Jun looked towards this child's expression and said: "Don't be so immature. That gem is just an ordinary ruby; it doesn't give any attribute bonuses, as for that curved sword… if I sold you, I could buy ten of those."

The child immediately exploded: "You dare to sell me!"

Xu Jun raised an eyebrow: "Want to try me?"

Ti Na ground his teeth. He really wished he were an adult sand leopard! Then he could rip apart this guy's neck—even if he didn't bite this guy, he could at least deter him a bit!

Wa wa wa! He was super angry!

Xu Jun laughed, and said to Prince Ryan in his heart: "I'm finding that this world is still very amusing. Look at how fun it is to mess with this kid."

Demon King Rozenke: "…Why don't you take a look at how vile you are."

Where are we going next? Of course, it was to go put up a request to meet the esteemed City Lord. He had just heard someone in the gambling house say: "City Lord Dika has just raised the already unreasonable taxes again." At least this was in line with his memories of what happened in the game. However, he wasn't quite sure if this world's City Lord Dika was hostile towards the Ester family… He didn't want to be walking onto a hoe: walking into things ignorantly just to smack his head. However, gathering some information first should be all right.

Xu Jun, being an experienced hero, was very clear on how many good things were in his spatial backpack. He could definitely say that he wanted to trade with the City Lord, and then lead into the topic he wanted to discuss1.

As for whether other people would covet his belongings… he had some official doc.u.ments issued by the Bright G.o.d Church. Snow Blade Kingdom and Golden Flag Empire also wrote quite a few things that could prove his ident.i.ty. If this still wasn't enough to deter others, he could always just run away _(:зゝ∠)_

In order to ensure that he wouldn't die when clearing customs, he had at least ten skills related to escaping.

"Do you want to go to a human king's home to look around next?" Xu Jun asked, smiling happily at Ti Na.

Ti Na was completely unable to resist this kind of temptation: "I want, I want to go see!"

Demon King Rozenke suddenly felt skeptical about the intelligence of beastmen: "He isn't worried that you are bringing him to be sold?" After all, this is the sand leopard tribe chief's youngest son; if he were sold, he would probably be sold to a buyer with a high position right?

Xu Jun: "I mean, he's still small. You shouldn't have such high expectations."

However… when he thought about when he had interacted with a beastman a while back, he decided to add on a few more sentences: "But beastmen IQ really are worryingly low. Prince Ryan, you should remember to never work with a beastman! It's really easy to get tripped up and end up with a b.l.o.o.d.y face!"

Demon King Rozenke listened to Xun's almost preaching tone, and entered a contemplative state.

On the other hand, a shadow covered Xu Jun's head. Two people riding horses, the pretentious white horses at that, stood before Xu Jun. Quite a few people rode white horses. Some pompous aristocrats and Bright G.o.d Church's priests liked to do this. However, no matter how handsome the white horse, it is still a white horse. Man Tou was better than every one of them.

Furthermore…anyone who rides a white horse to a gambling house is probably not of high moral quality–this idiot has already forgotten that he himself had brought a child to the gambling house just yesterday, and a.n.a.lyzed, self-righteously, as such in his heart.

Xu Jun prepared to head to the gambling house's backyard to find Man Tou. Yesterday he had also bought a lot of food for Man Tou; after all, Man Tou had worked hard for the past two days. Therefore, he probably hasn't woken up yet.

Xu Jun walked two steps before he heard soft and pleasing male voice ring out from behind him: "Xu Jun."

–Eh? An acquaintance?

Xu Jun turned his head, carefully examining the two people riding white horses…out of the two, he couldn't recognize one, and that one's diligent appearance made it clear he wasn't here to gamble. His proper atmosphere made Xu Jun feel like a dean was frowning at him, seeming very dissatisfied—when did I offend this person? The one who shouted Xu Jun's name, however, was the other person. This person was extremely good-looking, seemed about twenty years old, and, like Xu Jun's in-game character, possessed blond hair. However, his facial features much softer, and, though not quite feminine, it made one feel warm inside and brought with it a holy light's radiance—perhaps this is the mythical Holy Father's face.

Xu Jun intently tried to recognize the man, and spent a while before finally being able to recall: wasn't this that Bright G.o.d Church or whatever's Holy Son!

–The game's protagonist and the Holy Son indeed seemed to be friends, but Xu Jun had only met the Holy Son once or twice, and he had been busy gathering materials and levelling back then! Could he be blamed for not recognizing the Holy Son?!

If he were still in a game, it wouldn't be such a big deal to be unable to recall an NPC. After all, he had already defeated the final boss anyways…so he shouldn't need to bother with any disturbances anymore.

Xu Jun's eggs hurt from thinking, but, mother's chicken2, he wasn't in a game right now!

He bitterly thought about what to say in this situation, and from an outsider's point of view, he was dazed for about two seconds. He used a somewhat vacant and helpless gaze towards Holy Son Daeniste. Holy Son Daeniste found this gaze extremely familiar, because ever since he decided to come find Xu Jun, he had felt helpless and at a loss.

That's right, he was extremely worried that Xu Jun had become a different person. However, he had forgotten that Xu Jun was definitely also worried about him.

As the Bright G.o.d Church's Holy Son, he could be counted as someone in the center of a whirlpool of benefits. Could such a person still maintain their original nature?

His mouth opened and closed. The probing words he had once wanted to say could not leave his mouth. In the end, he forced out the same sentence, at the same time, as Xu Jun: "Long time no see, friend."

Time revolved backwards. Daeniste felt that he had returned to the past. There had been a day when he and Xu Jun had snuck out to play, and they had ended up separated. When he went back crying, he found that Xu Jun had arrived at the orphanage before him, and was waiting at the doorway for him.

It really has been a long time, my friend.

On the other hand, Xu Jun breathed a sigh of relief: Whew, it seems I managed to get past the first obstacle! I'm so awesome!

Daeniste dismounted, and clasped Xu Jun's hand. The two embraced in an enthusiastic, long-awaited hug. Demon King Rozenke felt an unquestionably powerful aura of light and snorted coldly.

Nonetheless, although he could feel the other's aura of light, the other could not sense him. Thus, it was extremely safe for him to be within Hero Xu Jun's body.

However, why are you still holding onto each other and not letting go!

–Meanwhile, the Golden Knight Nar, who had also dismounted, was of a similar mind: esteemed Holy Son, we are still not certain of this Hero Xu Jun's situation! You shouldn't just go up and hug the other in broad daylight! Didn't His Majesty the Pope say that he had to first test if the other party was corroded by the dark elements?!

Daeniste was like a child who had just snuck out, with great effort, to meet his friend: "Xu Jun, I heard you defeated the Demon King Rozenke! This is true right!"

His mood greatly infected Xu Jun, so Xu Jun could not help but relax: "How could that be false? Let me tell you, I'm beyond f.u.c.king cool!"

Daeniste felt that he had really returned to the years of his childhood. He was still that child who loved to go in circles around Xu Jun, and Xu Jun was still the boy back then, who performed awe-inspiring deeds. His Highness the Holy Son was forcefully suppressing the urge to circle Xu Jun: "Too f.u.c.king cool! Xu Jun! Heavens!"

Meanwhile, his Guardian Knight Nar was really about to go insane: esteemed Holy Son! How could you say "f.u.c.k," this kind of vulgar word!!!

The author has something to say:

Nar, relax, from now on, your Holy Son won't just say "f*ck," but also "mother f*cker." _(:зゝ∠)_

[2] Also can mean “mother's c*nt” 'cause Chinese puns and dialects and stuff. Return

Demon King, it's alright, we know the reason why you didn't want the two to keep hugging…*cough* jealousy *cough*
