Chapter 94 - 83: Demacia: You Truly Deserve to Die!

"It’s fine, you should be sleeping or cultivating right now."

Baiyi turned around, gently patted Luoning’s head, and held her hand, walking towards the Potion Shop.

Beside them, the Soul Fire beneath Or’s hood flickered. He couldn’t help but glance in the direction where the Giant Dragon had disappeared, sensing a new wave of Undead presence.

This damn capitalist seemed particularly fond of the Undead Realm. If there was a chance, he would remind that Bone Dragon to carefully examine that cursed contract!

"But..."

"No buts. I can handle things outside, just this once." Baiyi’s tone became somewhat firm.

Feeling Luoning’s slightly cold hand, he suddenly... started to like this world.

"Um... alright, but you really are in danger..." Luoning mumbled softly, "I only know that coming here means you can go back..."

"No room for negotiation. Come help me when you’re stronger. For now, you’re just an employee, and I am the boss; employees must listen to their boss!" Baiyi couldn’t help but glance back as the feeling of being watched descended, his gaze passing through Or to fall on himself.

Or felt it too. The terrifying Undead aura on him exploded, and the Deep Blue flame in his eye sockets turned crimson, disturbing the Magic Power in the area in an instant.

After a slight pause, the feeling of being watched gradually disappeared, as if everything had returned to normal.

"Got it..." Luoning watched Baiyi stop, puzzled, "What’s wrong, boss?"

"It’s nothing, let’s head back." Baiyi snapped back to reality, surprised as he looked at the little girl. The premonition on that small path was from the Ring of Protection given by the City Lord.

But this is Golden Top-Grade Equipment; its ability to warn of a crisis two minutes in advance is already astonishing, and Luoning...

No wonder she’s the only Divination Master in the Federation who can foresee the Black Night Rose, her premonition ability is exceptionally transcendent.

"Hey, boss, did you really become the Acting City Lord?" Luoning’s eyes sparkled.

"Yes." Baiyi’s hand subconsciously tightened. Luoning is of the Human Race and still a twelve-year-old child. This could mean only two things!

First, she’s a genius with sss-level potential, focusing all her talent into premonition.

Second, she might be the reincarnation of some powerful being.

Judging by how easy it is for her to predict the future it’s obvious she’s a top-tier talent with premonition abilities.

"So, will you still run the Potion Shop in the future?" Luoning asked nervously.

Baiyi paused, then smiled, "Don’t worry, you won’t lose your job. Even if I become City Lord, there will be a position for you at the City Lord’s Mansion."

"Phew, that’s good." Luoning breathed a sigh of relief. She feared Baiyi might suddenly die, or the Potion Shop might close, forcing her back to the despairing Outer City District. Now those worries were gone, and her steps quickened slightly.

However, having less to worry about made her remember something: "Boss, if you become City Lord, can you improve the Outer City District? Many people there are bullied, and many can’t even afford medicine when they get sick."

"Impossible." Baiyi decisively interrupted the girl’s fantasy. This is the foundation of the Federation; no one can interrupt the people’s suffering.

"Why not? Doesn’t the City Lord have a lot of power?" Luoning frowned, confused.

In the Outer City District, when they were bullied, many cursed capitalists, cursed the City Lord, cursed the Law Enforcement Team.

But after she entered the Inner City, the prosperity here was like another world. She didn’t understand why people outside had to suffer while those inside could enjoy life.

Baiyi pondered and asked, "Did anyone bully you while you were in school?"

"No!" Luoning shook her head decisively, "There are mage masters and law enforcement uncles at school; those bullies behave well there."

"So what do you learn at school?" Baiyi asked with a smile.

"Uh, we learn the common language and languages of various races, study the differences and advantages of professions, and some basic knowledge, like combat." Luoning thought seriously, then answered confidently.

"See, doesn’t this clearly tell you how to avoid being bullied?" Baiyi’s tone grew a bit emotional, "As long as you study well, as long as you have a bit of talent, they won’t bully you..."

"But..."

"No more buts. You’ll understand when you grow up a bit more. How about I take you to explore the entertainment district?"

"Entertainment district? You mean those casinos and taverns?"

"No, you’ll know when you get there. Or, you head back..."

Baiyi took Luoning to buy many things. Her sudden involvement in the Black Night Rose events could be dangerous.

Such a strong talent, Baiyi couldn’t let something like that happen, so now Luoning wore a Golden-Level Defense Scroll around her neck.

He originally intended to give her the scroll given by the City Lord, but thinking he might be the one in more danger later, he only bought two Golden Middle Tier scrolls.

One for protection, and one for Fixed Point Spatial Transmission, with the designated point being the City Lord’s Mansion.

As long as the Defense Scroll is activated, the Teleportation Scroll will activate as well; just one second of prevention and Space Teleportation will initiate, taking her away from danger.

Combined with the extensive divination knowledge he purchased from the Knowledge Hall, it should be foolproof, right?

After all, Luoning’s premonition ability is strongest concerning herself. In her previous life, before she stepped forward and said she could foresee the Black Night Rose, the Federation didn’t even know such a person existed.
