Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Chance Encounter

"Dad, Dad......" Yun Lan outside the dream murmured, in the dream, she was sitting in the living room waiting for her father to come home.

Mom knitted a sweater for Dad in the bedroom, and the clock on the wall had the hour hand pointing to eleven o'clock in the evening.

Dad hadn't come back yet, and Dad always went out drinking with those ruffian uncles and didn't come home late. Xiao Yunlan ran into the house, lay on her mother's laps, and looked up at her mother's bloodshot eyes.

"Mom...... Dad hasn't come home yet......" Yun Lan whispered to her mother, and her mother showed that gentle and helpless smile again: "Good, Dad has his own things to do...... Lan Lan also understands her father, okay? ”

"Oh......" Yun Lan pouted and replied dissatisfied.

"Lan Lan, if you're sleepy, go to bed first. You still have to go to school tomorrow, but don't stay up too late, lest you not be able to get up tomorrow morning......" The mother felt Xiao Yunlan's dissatisfaction, so she put down the knitting needle in her hand, hugged Xiao Yunlan in her arms, patted her back gently, and said comfortingly.

"Hmm......" Xiao Yunlan's eyes also closed because of sleepiness, and let out a muffled sound of agreement.

At this moment, there was a sound of the doorknob locking being twisted, accompanied by a loud closing of the door, and a sound of footsteps entered the living room.

The mother let out a low sigh, but the young Yun Lan didn't care. She excitedly broke free from her mother's arms and ran to the door.

"Daddy!"

The drunken man at the door, as if he hadn't heard, tossed his shoes aside, and then staggered into the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water.

"Daddy......" Yun Lan was a little disappointed, but Dad had always been like this, so she shouted again.

The man poured himself cold water for a night, and then he glanced at Xiao Yunlan impatiently and replied vaguely: "...... Yes? ”

"Daddy...... I...... In this exam, I took the first place in the class again! Xiao Yunlan's eyes lit up, and she looked at her father with some expectation, hoping that this father, who had never treated her very well, could touch her head and praise her like the parents of other classmates.

But obviously, the result still disappointed Xiao Yunlan.

"Huh? Oh......" The man replied perfunctorily and nonchalantly, without looking at Xiao Yunlan, he walked straight past her towards the bedroom. As he walked, he didn't forget to murmur and complain: "It's just this bit of, and I'm still bothering Lao Tzu all day long...... Cut, I don't know, I thought I won the lottery......"

The man who entered the door slammed the bedroom door slammed shut with his backhand, and then came his mother's "Why did you drink so much, wash your body quickly......" and the man's impatient "You have a lot to do......

In the living room, Xiao Yunlan was left alone with her eyes wide open and stood in place.

Tears have long been red in the eyes.

When Yun Lan woke up, it was already dark. A crescent moon hung high in the night sky, a little crystal teardrop shining faintly in the faint light.

Yun Lan wanted to wipe away the tears in her hand, and then she felt a handful of warm and soft fluff. Xiao Hei, who had been guarding Yun Lan's side, felt his master's movements, stood up, rubbed his forehead against Yun Lan's cheek, and let out a docile whining.

"Good ...... Don't worry......" Yun Lan gently hugged Xiao Hei's body and gently stroked its back. She suddenly remembered that her mother had always taken her young like this, patting her on the back and comforting her softly.

"Don't worry...... Little Black ...... Everything, it's going to be fine...... I won't let that happen again......" Yun Lan's mouth was close to Xiao Hei's ear, and the sound was small, I don't know whether to say it to Xiao Hei or to myself.

Yun Lan buried her face in the hair on Xiao Hei's neck, moistening a piece of fluff. Eventually, a low whimper was heard.

Xiao Hei obediently let Yun Lan vent his emotions on his neck, and his wet tongue gently licked Yun Lan's arm.

There was no word all night, and Yun Lan woke up from bed in the early morning. Last night, she went back to the bedroom to sleep because she was sleepy, and now she woke up early because she slept too much last night.

As usual, I turned on my phone and glanced at the time, and it was already 7:45 in the morning on September 24. Yun Lan still remembered that her monthly required level tasks were carried out on the last day of each month, so she decided to pause for the next few days to enjoy life.

At the end of the day, she decided to become a hunter for a better life, not a hunter for the sake of a mission.

Yun Lan got up to brush her teeth and wash her face, and for the first time she didn't stay in bed until eleven or twelve o'clock at noon, and then added new dog food and water to Xiao Hei, who was still confused. She plans to take Xiao Hei to Bai Yueguang Large Pet Entertainment Center for a day today, and by the way, let the staff there give it a bath and take care of it, otherwise it will stink to death every day.

Xiao Hei was still lazily lying on the small sofa, but as soon as he heard that he was going to "White Moonlight", his eyes immediately lit up, and he looked full of energy when he was cooking. Yun Lan thought that it might have thought of the female meteorite border herd raised in the large pet entertainment center again.

Sure enough, after eating, Xiao Hei took the initiative to choose a leash and small clothes, and followed Yun Lan to the Bai Yueguang Large Pet Entertainment Center.

As soon as he entered the door, he drove straight to the grass, and Yun Lan looked around and saw a very good-looking meteorite border herd sitting quietly at the feet of a staff member wearing work clothes.

I saw that the black color of the meteorite border herd hit the periphery of the eyes, as if it had its own eyeshadow, the patterns on both sides of the head were evenly distributed, and the posture when sitting and lying down was also very elegant.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a pet carefully selected and trained by the owner.

The little black girl ran towards it, slowed down when she was near it, and then leaned slightly, and politely went around behind it to sniff. It's a pity that people don't eat this set at all, so they immediately got up and changed directions.

Yun Lan laughed dumbly, so she also stepped forward to talk to the staff, and finally learned that this female border herd is called "Bai Yue", she is 4 years old this year, and she has been sterilized as early as more than a year old.

Hearing this, Yun Lan looked at Xiao Hei who was still following behind the moonlight with a little sympathy, and couldn't help but feel that this was another fruitless love.

Xiao Hei, who has always been obsessed with moonlight, finally returned home in a huff after a friendly conversation to no avail, and followed Yun Lan to the training ground to play some cross-country events.

It wasn't until there was a flush on the horizon that Yun Lan took the dirty little black to the special pet bath in the activity center to wash it clean.

After taking a bath, Xiao Hei's long hair was fluffy, dancing and fluttering in the wind. I saw it constantly walking back and forth in front of the big mirror on the wall, and it seemed to be very satisfied with its clean and tidy self.

Yun Lan was successfully Amway by the clerk, bought two bottles of hair care liquid for pet dogs and two bottles of insect spray, and took Xiao Hei home happily.

In the next few days, Yun Lan also took Xiao Hei to Bai Moonlight Entertainment every day. After a few days of contact, Moonlight's cold attitude towards Xiao Hei has improved slightly, but after being sterilized, people are no longer interested in love and love, and Xiao Hei is helpless.

After seeing this scene, the shopkeeper also felt Yun Lan's helplessness, and jokingly asked Yun Lan if she wanted to sterilize Xiao Hei as well. Yun Lan touched her nose in embarrassment, and quickly shook her head and refused.

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was ten o'clock in the evening on September 29th. The monthly level quest should start as soon as midnight arrives, and Yun Lan lies in bed, summoning a bounty system, ready to pick out some new items in case of emergency.

Now, she had 109 bounty coins, and Yun Lan suddenly realized that the only thing she had exchanged for bounty coins so far was money.

Maybe...... This is the poor ghost, Yun Lan sighed.

Clicking on the bounty mall and starting to screen the products, Yun Lan actually found that there was also a rare item called the contract book in the limited-time sale goods.

Yun Lan hurriedly clicked to check and found that it was a low-level contract, and it could only contract creatures in the range of F- to D-rank. Among them, the higher the grade, the greater the risk of failure, unless the contracted party voluntarily contracts.

Yun Lan suddenly remembered He Junhao, who was at the end of the mission in the Devil Cinema, at that time, he probably knew that there was such a thing, and found that Xiao Hei was quite good, so he stared at her Xiao Hei greedily.

So, Yun Lan glanced at the selling price, good guy, 80 sheets. This is still the lowest level of contract, and the cultivation cost of the contract beast in the later stage of the contract is not low.

Sure enough, raising pets is a money-burning business no matter where you are.

Yun Lan didn't have the desire to have a new pet for the time being, so she just sighed at the high price and decided to honestly change to a weapon that was convenient for self-defense and attack.

After screening the blue weapons, Yun Lan saw a dazzling array of knives, guns and sticks, and the price also fluctuated a little according to the level of the ghosts inside.

Yun Lan felt that the dagger of the Purple Blade was quite useful, but if it encountered that kind of long-handed or long-range ghost and evil spirit, it was not very practical. Then, she noticed a whip:

There are 65 bone joints on the whip, about 2 meters long, and each bone joint has barbs, so you can feel that you can scrape off a layer of skin on your body.

It's a pity that Yun Lan is not interested in whips, rummaging through them, Yun Lan's eyes lit up, and she saw a knife that looked like a shark knife.

Yun Lan glanced at the price, and suddenly felt that the price of 80 was close to the people. So, Yun Lan clicked on the item introduction:

Ghost of the Night: This knife contains a Ghost with a level 10 Spirit, which can deal substantial damage to Ghosts and Spirits when used.

Can only be used on bounties, and cannot be brought into reality.

(Note: The quality is blue medium grade.) Use its power carefully, as each use will unlock a little bit of the seal on the ghost. Please don't use too much of its power at once, as soon as it reaches its limit, the seal will be unlocked immediately, and the ghost will attack the wielder first. )

Look, what a delicate and handsome appearance, what a nice weapon name. Okay, that's you! Yun Lan waved her hand and directly clicked to buy.

Knives are a woman's romance!
