After Taken as a Prisoner of War, the Vampire Queen Turned Me Into a Vampire and Made Me Her Daughter

Chapter 32: Discussion

Oh I thought it was some type of condition. Isnt that jus Wait what did you say? Ji Bai was slightly stunned. Keer who still had a 0v0 expression on her face immediately turned red. Almost like fresh buns from a steamer spirals of white smoke rose up from her small head.

I dont wish to repeat this good news a second time But seriously you can play and raise a cat-eared loli and also be exempted from the lodging fees. A joyous opportunity has figuratively descended from the heavens in front of you and youre still pretending to be oblivious?? You could be raising your own wife if a slip-up occurs got it?? Dont you know that theres a large number of fellow bachelors hoping to push a knife into your back? Lin Tuo grieved and lamented as he said this.

Nyaahu~? Keer frenetically lowered her head; Her small bun-like head was still completely red.

Eh? From the way hes putting it it indeed sounds like I made a killing? However Ill forget about that minor detail about potentially raising my wife. If possible I would want to find a normal human girl to buy a suite together with while gaining a stable income. Once I retire Ill visit the great rivers and mountains of Tamriel1 while wantonly killing chickens and those kinds of stuff until the day when Im permanently unable to go online.

Are you included with the house?

Stop spouting crap and quickly give me a clear answer! This sort of dream job is coveted by so many licentious men! If you dont want it then theres plenty of people who can easily replace you. Lin Tuo sulkily urged him on.

What? No who said I didnt want it? Isnt it just raising a cat? I got it I got it Thats right! You should hurry up and deal with my reimbursement fee.

Logically speaking isnt it just raising a small kitten? This is nothing but just a small problem. Ji Bai was a smart man and was clearly aware of the differences between foolishness and pure stupidity. Whats more if he was to stay in a public dormitory the ensuing fallout wouldnt simply just end with death2. As far as the issue of his identity being exposed was concerned Keer was still young and unaware of his problems. As long as he paid attention in his everyday life while slightly misleading her this matter should pass smoothly.

Mhm it should be alright. Ji Bai thought this as he thought things through.

Hey did you hear that? The tool finally agreed. Lin Tuo gave Keer a smile.

Th-Thank you big brother Lin Tuo!~ Keer was overwhelmed with the kindness Lin Tuo showed her. She incessantly nodded her small head in an excited manner she lifted her maids apron and revealed a sweet and therapeutic smile.

No worries its fine as long as youre happy. In the future if someone has any warped thoughts or abuses you in any way tell us immediately; The Chivalric Order of the Moon will forever be your backer. Lin Tuo showed a heartfelt smile. He deliberately shot Ji Bai a glance as he spoke up to this point.

That wont happen big brother. Mister Ji Bais not that kind of person~ Keer responded with a warm smile.

I hope that thats the case too. Lin Tuo looked at Ji Bai in a meaningful glance one that disappeared as soon as it came. He then put on a hearty look and placed a blue card in Keer hands.

Go to the dormitory building that big brother pointed out and pass this card to the older sister on the front counter. She will give you a key and the certificate for the house.

Alright. Thank you Brother Lin~ Keer expressed her thanks. With traces of redness in her complexion she both wittingly or unwittingly looked at Ji Bai.

Oh I still have to say a few words to Ji Bai. You go ahead first. There will be a lot of time in the future for you two to get along right? Lin Tuo jokingly said.

Nyaauuuu~ Brother Lin dont spout nonsense Keer felt embarrassed and lowered her small head.

Hahaha! Anyway you should head out first. Your brother Ji Bai will follow soon after.

Keer shyly nodded her head. Her small claws covered her face as she ran off.

While he continued to stare at the petite silhouette gradually fading further away Lin Tuos smile slowly vanished. He then took out a box of cigarettes and a lighter from his chest.

Do you want a cigarette?

No I dont like to smoke. Ji Bai declined.

Oh. Lin Tuo smiled. He then took out a cigarette from the box and lit it up himself while muttering some words in his mouth.

One ought to get on their knees when they see someone with a metal ring on their head while people with rings on their legs or necks must be scorned.

One must learn when to accept and reject someones gifts.

Whats below the floor ought to be confiscated while whats above should be burned.

A short-haired person should be stabbed in the belly while a long-haired person should be stabbed in other regions.

The creed is always correct and infallible. People who try to counter its teachings are heretics and demons that need to be burned at the stake.

What are you harping on about? Ji Bai slightly knitted his eyebrows.

Hmm? What am I harping about? Its the knights creed of course. Did I recite wrongly? That shouldnt be possible right? Lin Tuo replied with a righteous expression.

Ji Bai narrowed his eyes. He was now carefully sizing up Lin Tuo who now had a complacent expression on his face.

Speaking of which are you really not planning to have one? Its really rare nowadays to see granddads like you that dont smoke or drink dont you think so? Granddaddy knight? Lin Tuo said in a teasing tone. His eyes that were looking at Ji Bai now carried traces of ridicule in them.

Did you send Keer away just to tell me this? Ji Bai wasnt too astonished when it came to the issue of his knight-identity being exposed. On the contrary this was something he anticipated and was just an issue of time. If he continued to hide this fact and it got revealed someday in the future it would be extremely hard for him to explain. Thus Ji Bai decided to show his true self from the beginning.

Thats not completely it. Its kind of a little bit of advice more than anything. Lin Tuo slowly said as he puffed out a ring of smoke. He then looked towards Ji Bai.

Ji Bai Ive already known that youre not just some little fish in the pond since the first time I laid eyes on you Havent the knight salute and battle posture you showed in the combat exam inadvertently trying to reveal that youre a part of those pompous fellows?

Hm So? Are you suspecting Im a spy sent by the official knight groups or something? Ji Bai raised both the corners of his mouth and eyebrows.

No I never doubted you on this point. Otherwise I wouldnt have suggested that you would take care of Keer. Lin Tuos serious look gazed at Ji Bai.

However maybe youre just trying to lie low by intentionally revealing your identity but considering that you willingly assisted a helpless demon in your confusion. So what if youre one of those granddaddy knights? It doesnt matter anymore.

You seem to be very hateful towards knights. I recall that you said that your organization abides the knights creed?

Thats different. The knights that belonged to the Chivalric Order of the Moon are naturally different from those plunderers who commit atrocities in the name of justice. Lin Tuo shook his finger. His meaningful smile made Ji Bai feel as if he was a sage pretending to be a mortal.

Thats too much no? Have you forgotten who were the ones that shed their sweat and blood just to get back our human rights? Ji Bais tone turned heavy as he said these words.

As someone who had personally guided the knights on the front line and saw them shed both their sweat and blood for a greater cause Ji Bai was unable to endure the mockery of someone who had stood far behind the front line and enjoyed the fruit of their work.

Oh I forgot to add something. I truly still have respect for those true knights that are fighting for peace and equality while putting their lives on the line. However these kinds of people are the extreme minority to things when all is said and done. The current chivalric order has long rotted under the influence of politics power and wealth. Its not too far off the mark to say that theyre the hired thugs of politicians.

Watch your words citizen! Dont just listen to mere hearsays! In accordance with the creed the way you humiliate the knights

Oh my there it is. Theres that set of pompous sounding words again. As expected of the granddaddy knights even your tones are all the same. For your next action your highness are you going to draw out your sword and rush over and chop off my head in a fit of humiliation and anger? Lin Tuo revealed a playful smile.

I wont do that but I will definitely not allow anyone to slander and vilify those genuine knights and their creeds. Ji Bai suppressed the fury in his heart.

Alright alright. My revered knight I guess its necessary for me to apologize for this matter. Although I dont like you at all the least bit Finally allow me to give you some advice. I dont know why you left your chivalric group. But since you have chosen this place as your new home please refrain from committing any transgressions and abide by our strict laws. Lin Tuo said in a seemingly self-serving manner.

Also this world isnt something that can be explained in a straightforward black-and-white manner. Thats all I have to say for now. Go now Keer is still waiting for you.

Ji Bai descended into silence as he stared at Lin Tuos back.
