Approaching the end of the semester, the atmosphere in the whole class has become tense, the boys and girls are reviewing various subjects, and Xu Zhinian is also busy for the exam like the classmates around him. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When a person devotes himself to one thing, it is difficult to find the passage of time, just like Xu Zhinian now, only to find out in a trance that there is only a short day left before the exam.

"Exams are coming up tomorrow, how are you doing?" After the last math class, Ji Xunyue turned her head and asked Xu Zhinian playfully, but the fragrant double ponytails inadvertently brushed the tip of the young man's nose, and the refreshing virgin fragrance couldn't help but make Xu Zhinian feel ape for a while.

"Hey, what about you?" The girl wrinkled her petite nose and shouted a little unhappily.

"It's good that I didn't find ......" Xu Zhinian couldn't help but panic for a while, and replied with some embarrassment, "It's okay to review." ”

"Hehe......" The girl smiled maliciously, "It's okay to review, but I don't know if I can get by, right?" ”

......Seeing that his routine was exposed, Xu Zhinian could only laugh dryly, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Ahem...... As a thank you for your help, please go to the ice cream shop for ice cream later. ”

"Huh...... That's what you said. There was a hint of cunning in the girl's eyes, like a little hamster who had stolen food.

Looking at the naughty girl in front of him, Xu Zhinian couldn't help but sigh. Since the Crimson Moon incident, the number of human beings has been difficult to increase, in order to promote population growth, the federal age of marriage has been lowered again and again, now girls are 14 years old, boys can legally marry at the age of 16, for this, now 16-year-old Xu Zhinian is also very embarrassed, most people are already married at this time.

I heard that in the old days, on the basis of considering the development of boys and girls, it was stipulated that no marriage was allowed under the age of 18. Glancing at the eccentric Ji Xunyue, Xu Zhinian shook his head: No matter how you look at this thing around you, it doesn't look like a person who is going to get married.

"Hey...... Why are you distracted and trying to pay your bills? The girl looked at Xu Zhinian with contempt.

"How is that possible?" Xu Zhiqing laughed, and then put his schoolbag on his back, "Let's go." ”

At the edge of the sky, the backs of boys and girls faintly blend in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"I want to eat ......" Ji Xunyue's white fingers dangled in the air, and finally landed on a very ordinary vanilla ice cream, "Hmm...... This ......"

"Okay, may I ask this gentleman...... The waiters in the ice cream shop are very professional, even if Xu Zhinian is wearing the kind of stalls that can be seen everywhere, the service attitude is still very upright, of course, this does not rule out that people have seen the top goods that Ji Xunyue is wearing.

"Same as her, thank you." Xu Zhinian could clearly feel the strange eyes of the customers around him when they looked at him, although he was embarrassed in his heart, he still showed a calm appearance on the surface.

"Such a beautiful girl, tsk, I guess she is carrying her family behind her back."

"It's really ** silk counterattack Bai Fumei......"

"What is Bai Fumei?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"It seems to be a common phrase in the old days, go back and look it up for yourself."

…………

The waiter's work efficiency was very high, and the two ice creams were made quickly, but Xu Zhinian's back was already soaked with sweat, and just a few minutes seemed like hours of torment for him.

"Hello sir, it's 68 yuan in total." The waiter said.

Xu Zhinian took out a brand new 100 yuan from his wallet, although he had been prepared for a long time, but for a minor like him, who relied on federal relief, it was still a bit reluctant to lose 68 yuan at once.

Ji Xunyue, who was on the side, keenly caught the touch of pain that flashed in Xu Zhinian's eyes, as if she wanted to do something, but finally put down her hand.

"Let's go, I'll send you back."

"Hmm...... I didn't expect the ice cream in this store to be so expensive......" As soon as she left the store, Ji Xunyue looked at Xu Zhinian with an apologetic face.

"Ann, la, la." Xu Zhinian smiled freely, "Although it is a little painful, if you can pass the end of the term, it will be worth it." If I don't miss any of tomorrow's exams, my savings will be put to good use. ”

After speaking, the boy ate ice cream and strode forward.

Ji Xunyue looked at the young man in front of her and gently took a bite of the vanilla ice cream in her hand. It's actually just an ordinary ice cream, which is actually nothing for people with her conditions, but what really attracts her is the teenager in front of her who will face it with a smile at all times. She didn't quite understand why Xu Zhinian could still smile so brightly after experiencing such an encounter.

"Hurry up, I'm not responsible if you're late." A breezy remark interrupted the girl's thoughts.

"Got it, got it." Although I don't want to admit it, it seems that I am not as good as the smiling boy in front of me in everything except for my studies and family background.

"It's here." Walking to the door of a beautiful community, Xu Zhinian stopped. The community where Ji Xunyue's family lives has to show a community certificate, so he can only send it here.

"Hmm...... It's here. Ji Xunyue was slightly stunned, but soon returned to normal, "That girl will go first." As she spoke, the tall girl dangled a pair of supple black ponytails and walked straight into the community.

Just as Xu Zhinian was about to turn around and leave, the girl in front of him suddenly turned around: "I almost forgot to say it." ”

"Huh?" Xu Zhinian looked at her in surprise.

"Thank you for the ice cream." After speaking, Ji Xunyue stepped through the security inspection of the community.

"That's ......" Xu Zhinian patted his forehead.

He is very aware of the difference between himself and that girl, so he has always deliberately controlled the relationship between the two people, but it is really difficult for people not to get close to such a lively and cheerful girl.

"It shouldn't be a big deal." Xu Zhinian nodded and walked towards the nearest intersection.

"Hmph......" Looking at the back of Xu Zhinian's departure, somewhere outside the community, a handsome-looking man in a gorgeous costume snorted coldly, "Uncle Li, what do you say this kid is called?" Xu Zhinian? ”

"Yes, Ye Shao." The middle-aged man surnamed Li on the side replied respectfully.

"Huh...... Death is on the verge of death without knowing it. Ye Tu sneered, "Since there is a big man in the demon kingdom who wants his life, you can take a trip." After speaking, he walked into the community without looking back.

The man surnamed Li looked at the direction in which Xu Zhinian had disappeared, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Dut...... "......After getting off the tram, Xu Zhinian walked on the desolate path as usual, the residence assigned to him by the Federation was called "rural" in the old era, Xu Zhinian was not very clear about the things of the old times, in short, his house was sparsely populated and extremely desolate.

On the path, Xu Zhi walked briskly, but his heart was very heavy. For tomorrow's exam, he actually doesn't have much certainty, after all, there are too many things to review in the liberal arts.

"Looks like we're going to have to prepare early." The boy thought to himself and looked up ahead.

"Huh?"

Not far ahead, there was a middle-aged man, standing upright, his slightly cold gaze gently sweeping over his body. Looks like I've been standing here for a long time.

"Are you Xu Zhinian?" Originally, Xu Zhinian planned to pretend not to see it and walk over directly, after all, more things are better than less. But as expected, the man initiated the questioning.

The moment he heard his question, Xu Zhinian suddenly felt a chill coming, lowered his head and replied, "I'm sorry, you found the wrong person." ”

He said this, but his pace did not slow down in the slightest. The man gave him a strong sense of oppression, and he could hear almost every cell in his body yelling at him to stay away from the man as much as possible.

"Oh? Really? The man's face showed a faint mockery, "Xu Zhinian, male, 16 years old, studied in Jinling No. 1 Senior High School, when he was 6 years old, his parents died while performing a secret mission of the military on the front line, and at the age of 10, he participated in the spirit seed identification, and the identification result was that there was no spirit seed, and he suffered from the hidden disease of lethargy......"

The man said Xu Zhinian's messages like a treasure: "Young people, lying is not a good habit." ”

Xu Zhinian, who was on the side, heard the man's words to reveal his identity, and immediately ran away.

"What-" Just as he was about to run, he suddenly found that his feet were frozen on the ground, his hands were also frozen, and he couldn't move on the spot.

When he saw the ice cubes on his feet, Xu Zhinian instantly understood his situation, and said angrily: "You are a demon slayer!" ”

The man ignored Xu Zhinian's surprise, but stretched out his right hand and made a claw-shaped posture. Immediately after, Xu Zhinian saw the first spiritual technique he had seen in his life.

"Psychics, Chillblade."

As the man's accent fell, the sweltering heat of the original summer evening was swept away, leaving Xu Zhinian with only a bone-chilling coolness. The cold air surged, and bursts of white mist dispersed, and then, a transparent ice blade that was conjured up was directed at Xu Zhinian, flashing under the light of the setting sun.

"As a demon slayer, you actually attacked your compatriots!" Xu Zhinian suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted, "The soldiers on the front line use their lives to protect the human territory, but you are abusing your abilities here!" ”

"It's useless to talk too much." The middle-aged man also seemed to see the fear in Xu Zhinian's heart, "It's strange that you provoked someone you shouldn't mess with." ”

Xu Zhinian was stunned when he heard this, and quickly thought of a possibility under the rapid operation of his brain, and his face showed a trace of bitterness: It is really a red face and trouble.

"I don't mean anything else to Ji Xunyue, just to ask for advice." Xu Zhinian explained.

The man didn't reply, his face was sarcastic, thinking that the young master would be the kind of person who was jealous again, so he didn't answer, and said lightly: "It's time to go on the road." ”

As he spoke, the ice blade in mid-air slowly approached Xu Zhinian's left chest in the shroud of white mist and cold air.

――What should I do? Xu Zhinian racked his brains, but in the end he didn't think of any possibility of escape.

After all, it shouldn't be too easy for an experienced demon slayer to deal with an unarmed ordinary person like him.

"Do you want to die here? Died at the hands of this demon slayer whose name he didn't even know? Xu Zhinian was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, the other party didn't even give him a chance to explain, he could only helplessly watch the ice blade stab towards his chest little by little.

"Whew-", it was the sound of a blade piercing through a garment.

Xu Zhinian's skin could clearly feel the coldness and sharpness of the ice blade, and he had no doubt that he would die in the next second.

"You coward, if you don't dare to kill the enemy on the front line, you will deal with your compatriots, you are not worthy of being a demon exterminator at all!" Finally, Xu Zhinian couldn't suppress the fear in his heart and scolded loudly.

Xu Zhinian's words seemed to greatly stimulate the middle-aged man in front of him, and the man laughed fiercely, quite annoyed and angry: "I'm not worthy? Look at whether my knife is worthy or not! The man roared, and his right hand was pushed out completely.

Hearing the man's roar, Xu Zhinian closed his eyes in despair, he had thought countless times that he would one day die on the battlefield between humans and demons, but he never thought that he would die in the hands of his compatriots in such a sloppy manner.

"Even if you kill me, if you don't deserve it, you don't deserve it!" After venting the anger in his heart in one breath, panting, Xu Zhinian smiled miserably.

- Dad, Mom, it seems that I can't sacrifice my life to expel the demon clan.

It's all because of weakness, Xu Zhinian has a lot of unwillingness in his heart, but it doesn't help. Because he is weak, he can't even run away now, and in the 16 years since he was a child, he has never been so eager for strength as he is now.

Raising his head suddenly, he opened his eyes, and the young man stared at the bloody remnant sun with a palpitating look, and the hatred in those eyes seemed to burn the whole world, and even the middle-aged man who had never had mood swings was sideways, making him subconsciously pause.

"That's a nice look."

Out of nowhere, there was such an exclamation.
