Four Split Personalities

"What’s happening?"

Several people enjoyed the drama without minding their business.

"Nothing... nothing..."

Ranger shrank his neck, lowering his voice a bit more: "In the end, Guy was so angered he took off his pants, and guess what?"

"What happened then?"

"That Wang Ba glanced at Guy, said nothing but ’heh’, that ’heh’ was so mocking that it knocked Guy out on the spot. He passed out before he could even get his pants on."

The ranger trembled a bit, his voice shaking: "And then..."

"There’s more!?"

The listeners’ faces paled as well.

"That Captain Mor sensed something was off and hurriedly ran back, his face ashen. He said something to Wang Ba, and right then Guy woke up, and..."

He swallowed hard, his voice unusually hoarse: "Then Wang Ba saw the person waking up and immediately screamed that Guy tried to rape it. Just imagine the scene, everyone turned to look, and Guy, who just got up from the ground, had only managed to pull his pants halfway up..."

[Wang Badan you disgraceful thing!!!]

Amidst a collective gasp, Ji Xiaoge left quietly, her face pale, fists clenched tightly, her mind blank, her teeth grinding audibly, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Damn, there were two Pikachus that glanced at Guy and then immediately ran off, can you believe that?"

The human ranger’s voice rose again, and Ji Xiaoge staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

Two minutes later...

"Hey, Sister Chris."

The staggering girl weakly collapsed at a counter corner, greeting the pretty lady who was engrossed in a collection of BL stories on the other side, before slipping back into her lifeless, gloomy state, looking as troubled as Lin Daiyu who had accidentally killed Jia Baoyu.

"Go find someone else for service, I’m busy here."

Chris didn’t even look up, fixating on the exquisitely printed booklet, chuckling weirdly: "Hehe... Stories of young boys... *slurp*... are indeed the best! Ah! Bravely declare war on the world... *slurp*... and exterminate all those troublesome women blocking your love!"

Ji Xiaoge’s face stiffened, then she leaned forward helplessly and tapped the shoulder of receptionist Miss Chris Klotd: "It’s me~"

"Eh? Night Song girl!"

Chris abruptly looked up, grabbed Ji Xiaoge’s hand with a surprised expression: "Why are you back! Mor and those Wang Ba bastards really, they didn’t even tell me. Come, come, sister will recommend you a good book, this ’Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation’ is just dripping with..."

Ji Xiaoge shivered, and hurriedly jumped a big step back before Chris could shove the booklet into her hands, laughing awkwardly: "That... that, I came back secretly, didn’t give Mor and Ya Ya a heads-up."

"Oh? Want to surprise them?"

Miss Chris casually tossed ’Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation’ to the side, gestured to a small round stool next to the counter, and after Ji Xiaoge sat down, she asked with concern: "You look a bit unwell, didn’t you hear any rumors?"

Ji Xiaoge slumped on the counter, miserably ’hmm’ed.

"There, there, those little brats are always idle, Night Song girl, you can’t believe everything they say."

Chris affectionately rubbed Ji Xiaoge’s silky soft hair, earnestly saying: "Sister can responsibly tell you, Mor hasn’t gone to the dogs."

"Ah?"

"Really, he’s actually very sensible."

"What are you talking about, Sister Chris!"

Ji Xiaoge was shocked when she realized what was being said.

"Huh? Aren’t you upset because you heard how Mor and Ya Ya were behaving?"

Chris was also surprised.

"No! I didn’t hear any rumors like that! Even if I did, I wouldn’t believe them! And even if I did believe them, I wouldn’t be upset!"

Ji Xiaoge wrinkled her nose and said frustratedly, "I’m upset because I heard about the ’glorious deeds’ of a certain Wang Ba."

Chris laughed heartily, pinched Ji Xiaoge’s puffed cheeks, and said with a smile, "You mean Wang Badan? Haha, its annoying mouth really can attract hatred, but it’s just a minor issue. The atmosphere in our branch of the Adventurer’s Guild in Anka is good, so you don’t have to worry about someone trying to sack Mor."

Ji Xiaoge sighed deeply on Chris’ hand, and said sorrowfully, "I just feel embarrassed..."

"Haha, why overthink it, you’re not its mom."

Chris seemed unconcerned, apparently not too bothered by Wang Ba’s bad behavior, and asked cheerfully, "So, you ran back here secretly just to surprise them, huh? Tsk, tsk, it’s not quite timely. Mor and the others just took a mission and left the market two hours ago, they won’t be back for a few days at the earliest."

Ji Xiaoge paused, clearly not expecting that Motan and the others would be away from Anka Market for so long, and immediately asked, "Where did they go?"

"Missions number 0920, a B-level joint mission, escorting the caravan from the big market to the Artisan Town."

Chris replied without hesitation, shrugged and said, "Recently, a band of bandits showed up near Parsel Road and has already stripped several caravans, so the big market is taking it seriously this time, going through official channels to issue a B-level escort mission from our Adventurer’s Guild. I saw the payment was good, so I set it up for your Woof Woof Team. Ah, if you had come half a day earlier, you’d probably have met them right here."

"Artisan Town?"

Ji Xiaoge was taken aback again, knowing she had just come from there. It was indeed overly coincidental that Motan and the others were heading there now.

Chris nodded, absentmindedly playing with her hair, "Yeah, that’s Artisan Town. The materials that should have arrived more than ten days ago are all stuck there, and with the end of the month approaching, if there’s a problem with this batch, the big market will have to pay a penalty. So, they’re really in a hurry."

"Wow! So that’s the situation!"

Ji Xiaoge slapped her forehead, finally understanding the whole situation.

She had just come from Artisan Town where she finished a short course and finally devised a perfect plan, but got stuck because of the materials, as the stock of Non-melting Ice that should have been delivered on time wasn’t, prompting her trip to Anka Market, the main supply point for all stores in Artisan Town, hoping to get Non-melting Ice there and surprise Motan and the others with her secret weapon.

But now Motan and his team had just left Anka Market, because a few cargos meant to be sent west were hijacked by some bandits. To ensure the last batch of goods arrived on time, the big market specifically issued a combined guard mission, and the Woof Woof Team was part of the escorts.

"If I knew, I wouldn’t have made this pointless trip."

The girl shook her head with mixed feelings, surprised that after all this roundabout, she might have to return the same way.

It wasn’t exactly the same route, since she had flown in a straight line on her way here, while Parsel Road was somewhat more winding. Although in the same general direction, it wasn’t as convenient as Ji Xiaoge’s direct flight, so the routes didn’t overlap, otherwise she would have likely seen Motan and the others.

"Hey, Sister Chris, could you check something for me..."

Ji Xiaoge hesitated before asking, "Is there any Non-melting Ice left in the market?"

The lady shrugged, "There was, but after being looted several times, it’s all gone. That stuff is a specialty of the far north. I heard recently that they’re almost fighting over it in Sumer, and no caravan dares to stock up, so who knows when the next batch will arrive. If you need it, you might as well chase down Mor and the others. That shipment includes it. Just find out where the Non-melting Ice is stored, and when the bandits show up, you could snatch a few pieces and slip them into your pocket undetected."
