Last Totem Novel - Chapter 141

Chapter 141 Shrug One’s Shoulders
‘”Student Zhang Tie” Qin Ke’er hesitated for a moment before pleading softly, “Can you tell Elder Ebony that Bai Xiaoyun is not suitable for you? You still want me to bring you to familiarize you with the environment, okay? I will definitely complete the task properly and won’t be willful anymore.”

Tie Zha shook his head and said that Bai Xiaoyun did a good job. He didn’t want to change people. Qin Ke’er pouted. She stood up and stuck to him. She pulled his arm with both hands and launched an attack. “Woohoo ~ Please ~ Good Zhang Tie ~ Good big brother ~ Good ~ Help Ke’er ~”

“Are you short of money?” Iron Slag asked.

‘”I’m short ~ I’m short ~ I’m so poor ~ I’m almost poor ~” Qin Ke’er pouted, her voice getting thicker and thicker.

“I see you have a lot of money. Did I see wrong that day?” Tie Zha asked. He remembered that Qin Ke’er had more than 500 gold coins on her account. No matter how she looked at it, she did not look like someone who was short of money.

Qin Ke’er explained that she would graduate next year, but she didn’t want to go back to the Far East, so she had to earn more money before she could buy permanent residency and stay here.

“The right of permanent residence, can you eat it as food?” Iron Slag shrugged his shoulders and said casually.

“I can … I can eat it as food.” “How about this? Show me.” Qin Ke’er picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip, then said, “Nah ~ I ate it.”

“So this is the right of permanent residence. I’ll buy you ten sets, and then don’t bother me anymore.” Tie Zha said with a sudden realization.

Qin Ke’er got tired of it and pushed Iron Slag’s shoulder and shouted, “Wuwa ~ You bullied me ~ I hate you ~ I hate you ~”

“I heard that you are one of the top ten beauties of Egret Lake.” “What’s the use of a beauty? You don’t even feel sorry for her when you look at her ~”

“No matter what, beauties won’t lack money …” “I’m short ~ I’m so short of money ~ I’m out of work ~ It’s all your fault ~”

“I mean, why don’t you find a rich boyfriend?” Tie Zha asked.

‘”You … you look down on me ~ I’m not trying to sell myself ~” “That’s not what I meant. I mean, find someone you like and then provide you with assistance, okay?”

“You ~ I like you ~ You can keep me, it’s so cheap …”

As he pushed and shouted, the waiter came over with water and steak. Seeing that an outsider was present, Qin Ke’er immediately returned to her usual expression and sat down elegantly, seemingly obedient and peaceful.

Tie Zha ordered a steak, a sausage, a vegetable salad, a piece of cake, and the waiter’s record. He turned around and left. Just as the waiter left, Qin Ke’er got tired of it and whispered, “Keep me safe, okay?”

“How much is it?” Tie Zha casually asked, then picked up the cup and took a sip.

“100 gold coins a month.” Qin Ke’er replied weakly.

“Uh” The iron slag choked on the water for a moment, and Qin Ke’er quickly changed her words, “50 gold a month is enough.”

“I don’t even have 50 gold. It’s not like you don’t know.” “You are a warrior of the War Bear Temple. Go do the quest and risk your life.” “Friend, is my life so worthless?” “Sprinkling hot blood for a beloved girl. This is a man’s romance ~”

“How about this” Tie Zha sighed and said, “I will ask Elder Black Wood to let him resume your work, but …” He paused for a moment and said in a strong tone, “I hope you won’t use Huang Yu to influence me again.”

“Alright, Ke’er will put him on the blacklist now. I won’t contact him anymore.” As she spoke, Qin Ke’er picked up the small bag on the chair and took out the communication. Tie Zha hurriedly stopped her, saying that it was not good for her to blacklist someone as soon as she finished using them.

“I didn’t take advantage of him. Is bringing a message also considered a use?” Qin Ke’er said innocently. Last night, she waited for Zhang Tie downstairs at the 28th floor of Bamboo Cage Street. Seeing Huang Yu pass by, she asked him to take a message for her. For a moment, her brain was short-circuited. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t understand. Could it be that in Zhang Tie’s eyes, this could also be considered a use?

“He wants to pursue you, so he will do everything you ask.” Iron slag said.

“Then what should I do?” Qin Ke’er asked. Tie Zha thought for a while and said, “Pull him into the blacklist.”

‘”Alright” Qin Ke’er said obediently.

After dinner, Tie Zha paid the bill. Qin Ke’er said that she had an appointment with her classmate to go shopping and asked him if he wanted to go. He said that he still had something to do and wanted to go back first. Just like that, the two of them parted at the entrance of the cafe.

After Zhang Tie left, Qin Ke’er stuck out her tongue towards the distant figure and cursed in a low voice, “Deflated cover.”

At this moment, her communicator rang. “Ke’er, where are you?” A sweet female voice came from the speaker.

“I’m in the same place. Come on ~ I was bullied just now.” “Who dares to bully our Ke’er? Don’t you want to die?” After saying that, Qin Ke’er hung up the phone.

A moment later, a tall, feminine girl swayed and walked over. She put her hand on Qin Ke’er’s petite shoulder and said in a long voice, “Quickly tell me who bullied you. How did you bully her? I’m looking forward to it!”

This girl’s name was Mu Qianhe. She was a student of Qin Ke’er’s major subject, and she was also one of the top ten beauties of Egret Lake.

“Look at you gloating, I won’t pay you any attention ~” “Oh ~ don’t ~ Tell big sister, big sister will avenge you.” “Please don’t. He is an honored guest of Elder Ebony. Don’t provoke him.”

“Yo ~ While being bullied by others, he also spoke up for them. He turned his elbow outwards ~ Quickly let me see if Ke’er’s arm is growing behind her back.”

‘”Hmph ~” Qin Ke’er left without turning her head. Mu Qianhe hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her small arm and said, “How stingy.”

“You’re the stingy one. Your entire family is stingy ~” “Good, good, good ~ our entire family is stingy ~” The two women were tired of chatting and came to a clothing store. As they tried on their clothes, they were fighting and making a fuss.

“That person came from the Northern Wilderness. Good or bad, good soil. He seems to have not eaten enough all day long. Is opening his mouth and keeping his mouth shut an ideal thing to eat? Is permanent residency a good thing to eat?” Qin Ke’er imitated Tie Zha’s expression and tone perfectly.

“Then what else do you like about him?” Mu Qianhe took a piece of clothing and gestured on his body.

“I don’t like him.” Qin Ke’er snatched the clothes from Mu Qianhe’s hand and argued with a straight face.

“What’s the hurry ~ I didn’t say I didn’t believe you.” Mu Qianhe said solemnly, but the teasing intent in his eyes was completely revealed.

It was nine o’clock in the evening, and the two of them returned to Egret Lake after strolling through the streets. Afterwards, they parted at the entrance of the dormitory. Qin Ke’er went back to her dormitory, while Mu Qian He walked towards the Garden Street of Babylon with the clothes he had just bought. She was going to a friend’s house to give her the dress as a birthday present.

Her friend’s name was Eva Green and she came from a noble family in Eternal City. Eva, Mu Qianhe and Qin Ke’er were all students majoring in field nurses. She was tall and plump with a beautiful and dignified appearance. She was one of the “Six Beauties of Garden Avenue” that was widely rumoured in the academy.

Half an hour later, Mu Qianhe arrived in front of a separate villa and rang the doorbell. Not long after, an elderly butler opened the door and welcomed Mu Qianhe inside. Eva hid behind the door and waited for Mu Qianhe to enter. Suddenly, she hugged her from the side.

Mu Qianhe was shocked. When he saw the person hugging her clearly, he immediately patted his chest and scolded, “Bad woman.”

The two women came to the living room in a fuss. Apart from trying on new clothes, they also started to gossip …

“Ke’er was bullied by a bumpkin.” “Ah ~ Big news ~ Hurry up and tell me ~”

“That person came from the Northern Wilderness. Good or bad, good soil. He seems to have not eaten enough all day long. Is opening his mouth and keeping his mouth shut an ideal thing to eat? Is permanent residency a good thing to eat?” Mu Qianhe imitated Qin Ke’er’s expression and tone and repeated her original words.

“It’s really good soil. Could it be that you were starving when you were in the Northern Wilderness? I heard that the people there are quite pitiful.” Eva said as she fiddled with the hem of her new dress.

Not long after, Mu Qianhe got up and said goodbye. He said that there was a class tomorrow and he couldn’t go back too late. Eva kept her for the night. Mu Qianhe raised his eyebrows and threatened, “Little demon, I’m not afraid that sister will kill you.”

“Come on ~” Eva provoked. The two women dragged on for a while, and Eva finally brought Mu Qianhe to the entrance of Garden Street and watched the latter leave.

After Mu Qianhe walked far away, Eva did not go home directly. Instead, she walked towards the depths of the Garden Street of Ancient Babylon-the cold lake.

It was already ten o’clock at night. The moonlight was blurry by the cold lake. The breeze carried a faint fragrance of vegetation. It blew the ends of its hair and gently swept past the corners of its clothes, bringing with it the refreshing and comfortable feeling of early autumn.

On the south side of the lake stood an ancient stone house. Under the moonlight, the glazed roof reflected a faint luster, and the wooden windows emitted a gentle orange light.

From afar, crimson banners were hanging upside down on the edges of each window. The flag was made of flannel and embroidered with two golden threads. In the middle was a large silver cross. Eva Green knew very well that every flag hanging upside down was worth a fortune. The flannel was woven from the Heavenly Silk of Qiman’s Dream, and the blood of the Sickle Demon of the Bottomless Abyss was dyed red. Then, it was drawn with pure gold from the depths of the Mirror Sea and secret silver from the Alpha Plane, and embroidered into two large silver crosses with gold edges on both sides and in the middle.

This was the “Battle Flag of the Sacred Region”, representing the dignity and glory of the Temple.

Eva informed the guards of her identity in front of the gate. Not long after, an old butler came to the door with an oil lamp and welcomed Eva inside.

Eva gently took a deep breath and put away all her frivolity. Her eyes became dignified and quiet. She walked along the white path, bypassed the fountain cut from jade, passed through the thick oak door, followed behind the old butler with her hands down, and entered the brightly lit hall. Looking up, the “Ya” shaped staircase in front of him winded upwards, connecting the dozens of bedrooms above.

Four long and short sofas were placed in front of the main stairs in the middle of the hall. A girl with exquisite facial features who looked like a perfect creation sat upright on the sofa. At this moment, she was casually flipping through the book in her hand.

“Respected Miss Lombar, Princess of the Temple, President of the Student Union, good evening.” Eva walked forward and said respectfully.

The girl raised her delicate chin with a playful smile and put down the book in her hand. She raised her slender fingers and hooked it at her, “Girl, come here.”

Not long after, the two women looked at each other and sat down. They seriously began to gossip …

“I heard from Mu Qianhe that her friend Qin Ke’er was bullied by a bumpkin from the Northern Wilderness.” “Oh ~”

“That person came from the Northern Wilderness. Good or bad, good soil. He seems to have not eaten enough all day long. Is opening his mouth and keeping his mouth shut an ideal thing to eat? Is permanent residency a good thing to eat?” Eva Green repeated Mu Qianhe’s words.

‘”Mm ~” You Ge’s eyes narrowed as he pondered for a moment. Then, he stood up, put on a posture, shrugged his shoulders, and said casually, “Friendship and kindness, can you be eaten as food?”

“My princess, do you really pretend to be the same as when Mu Qianhe told me?”
