Lucian lifted his head from Yinlin’s thighs and pulled out a black notebook from his chest pocket.

The cover resembled that of a Death Note, but this one was the Undying Death Note.

Lucian took the pen attached to the notebook, flipped open the Undying Death Note, and wrote down Scar’s name.

Hmm… It didn’t seem to have any special effect. He’d have to test it the next time Scar got out of prison.

Though, who knew if he’d even make it out?

He put the Undying Death Note away and buried his face back between Yinlin’s legs.

Lick…Slurp… Lick…Slurp…

There was no denying it Yinlin’s jade-like thighs were fragrant, delicious, and utterly unforgettable.

Feeling the tingling sensation on her thighs, Yinlin chuckled softly.

“If that red-haired patroller found out you were doing this to someone you just met today, your life wouldn’t be easy from now on. I can tell she likes you.”

Red-haired patroller?

She must be talking about Chixia. It seemed that, as fellow patrollers, Yinlin kept an eye on her junior.

Reluctantly, Lucian raised his head. The options had already been fulfilled, and continuing to lick would indeed be impolite.

Yinlin took out a handkerchief and wiped away the dampness on her thigh.

With an amused smile, she said, “You really are… hard to figure out.”

Lucian put on a serious expression. “Generally speaking, I don’t do such indecent things.”

“As everyone knows, I’ve always been an upright, pure, affectionate, and devoted man.”

Yinlin’s lips curled. “Those words don’t seem to have anything to do with you.”

Lucian: “It seems Patroller Yinlin has some misunderstandings about me. I think we need to… deepen our understanding of each other.”

Yinlin met his affectionate gaze. “I’d love to deepen our understanding too, but this series of incidents hasn’t been fully resolved yet. As a Patroller, I can’t just ignore it.”

Lucian frowned. “A series of incidents?”

Yinlin: “Have you forgotten? Dollmaker was just one participant in this incident. There’s a bigger force behind him.”

Lucian realized. “Fractsidus…”

Yinlin nodded. “So we can’t let our guard down yet… Not until we uncover the mastermind behind everything and dismantle the great darkness lurking in the shadows.”

Lucian: “And then we can deepen our understanding?”

Yinlin smiled faintly. “If by then you’re still willing, then of course.”

Lucian gazed at her tenderly. “For you, Yinlin, I’d be willing anytime, anywhere.”

Yinlin stood up with a bright smile, clearly in high spirits.

“No matter what, thank you… for accomplishing more than I imagined and saving more lives than I expected.”

“If it’s you, perhaps I can believe unconditionally too.”

Lucian: “In my heart, Yinlin is someone I can trust unconditionally.”

“Heh…” Yinlin leaned down, pressing a delicate finger against Lucian’s forehead. “Such a silver tongue…”

Then, she pinched his chin with two fingers. “One last thing to thank you for… Thank you for believing in me until the end.”

“Well then, until next time, Lucian… Next time, perhaps I’ll meet you under a completely new identity.”

Yinlin left, her figure fading under the watchful gaze of the full moon.

The faint fragrance of her still lingered in the air, and the lonely chirping of insects filled Lucian’s ears. A sudden melancholy washed over him, reminding him of something he’d once heard.

The beginning of a story is always like this unexpected, catching you off guard.

The ending of a story is always like this two flowers bloom, each under a different sky.

But Lucian believed the ending of this story was still far away.

The next day.

Lucian held a Jinzhou-style soup dumpling in one hand and the Jinzhou Daily in the other, reading with great interest.

The headline read:

[Recently, citizen Lucian dismantled the Séance Society and thwarted their conspiracy with the evil organization Fractsidus.

In the face of wicked forces, Mr. Lucian displayed courage and resolve worthy of emulation by all.

Not only did Mr. Lucian stand firm with unyielding conviction against injustice, but he also inspired those around him to join the cause of justice.

His actions prove that no matter how overwhelming the darkness, the power of light and justice will always illuminate the path forward.

We thank Mr. Lucian for his contributions in upholding justice and peace. His bravery and dedication will be remembered.

Let us continue working hand in hand to create a fairer and more harmonious Jinzhou.

Once again, we salute Mr. Lucian you are a true hero.]

Lucian checked his backend data. After the publication of this article, his fame had reached 30,000. However, the next reward tier required 100,000 still a long way to go…

Opposite him, Rover muttered, “Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?”

Lucian grinned. “I think this is the most objective, neutral, and credible newspaper in all of Jinzhou!”

Before Rover could retort, a crisp female voice suddenly spoke up behind Lucian.

“So you’re the Legendary Figure, Lucian?”

Lucian turned to see a red-haired girl standing behind him, munching on Cloudpeak Dragon Beard Candy.

“And you are…?”

Danjin examined Lucian’s face, then exclaimed excitedly, “Ha! It really is you! Hi, I’m Danjin the one who wanted to spar with you on the forums!”

Lucian suddenly understood. “You’re ‘Cloudpeak Dragon Beard Candy’?”

Danjin nodded playfully. “Yep, that’s me! So, got time for a match today?”

Lucian hadn’t expected the person so eager to spar with him to be a cute girl—and one who actually tracked him down in person.

Danjin, true to her name, was a girl as vibrant as red cinnabar.

Her hair and attire were both rich in that striking hue.

Her hair was tied in a maiden’s bun, with retro hairpins adding a touch of playfulness at her temples.

Her outfit leaned toward traditional aesthetics but was tailored for ease of movement.

The ribbons and tassels at her hem fluttered with youthful energy.

In stark contrast to the deep red was the clear, translucent jade pendant hanging at her chest.

Jade is ‘Jin,’ and ‘Danjin’ also carries ‘Jin.’

This jade likely held ties to her origins.

Yet, the pendant was meant to be a pair where was its other half?

Lucian took a sip of tea and said, “Well, about this matter… it’s not that I won’t do it…”

Danjin tilted her head. “Not that you won’t? So you will?”

Rover, sitting across from them, covered her mouth and laughed. “From what I know, that phrase actually means ‘I can’t.'”

Danjin: “?”

[Ding! Option triggered!]

[Option 1: Accept Danjin’s sparring request. Reward: Comical Eyepatch]

[Option 2: Politely decline Danjin’s sparring request. Reward: 100,000 Shell Credits]

Lucian suddenly cleared his throat. “In principle, it’s indeed not possible… but then again…”

Rover: “?”
