...

Su Xiao used the [Book of Repentance], increasing the task completion from 34% to 42%. As for the final task completion rate, that requires a comprehensive assessment a few hours later.

Even so, Su Xiao guessed the task completion wouldn’t reach 100%, but he had done everything he could.

Su Xiao walked towards Liu Dong Temple with a burning sensation, having promised the Old Priest to open the Spirit Body Barrier there.

An hour later, Su Xiao returned to the wasteland at the foot of the mountain.

"Woof."

Bubu Wang barked from the grass, and Su Xiao waved at him. As he was about to meet up with Bubu Wang, Sakura Matou, and others, his steps suddenly halted; there was something else in the grass near Bubu Wang.

"Ha!"

A somewhat familiar roar came from the direction. Hearing this, Su Xiao instinctively raised Dragon Slash slightly to prevent being bitten by some creature. If one looked carefully into the grass near Bubu Wang, they would find a creature with a stripe of white fur on its back.

"Such a persistent ghost."

Su Xiao tightly gripped Dragon Slash, his face unsatisfied to see Flat Head Brother had found Bubu Wang and the others’ location. Was it an ambush? Glancing at Bubu Wang, he quickly dismissed the thought.

Flat Head Brother, whose head had been shaved by Dragon Slash, stood up, and the two sides began to confront each other.

Bubu Wang immediately ran between Su Xiao and Flat Head Brother.

"Woof woof."

Bubu Wang barked twice at Flat Head Brother, and upon hearing this, the hostility in Flat Head Brother’s eyes visibly lessened.

"Ha, ha~, ha!"

Flat Head Brother pointed to his shaved hairstyle and then at Su Xiao.

"Woof, woof woof woof..."

"Ha~"

"Woof!"

"Ha!!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Bubu Wang surprisingly started interacting with Flat Head Brother. Seeing this, Su Xiao was somewhat baffled.

"Bubu, what is this about?"

Bubu Wang looked at Su Xiao, its gaze seemingly conveying: "Master, this is my new ’friend’; had a tough encounter."

Su Xiao’s mouth twitched, momentarily unsure whether to fight or make peace.

After a few minutes of conversation, Flat Head Brother nodded, glanced at Bubu Wang, and its eyes seemed to say, "I’ll give you face today."

Bubu Wang joyfully ran to Su Xiao’s side, beginning to subtly signal to him with its eyes, as if saying, "Master, when I first met this guy, I found out it was looking for revenge against you, but I couldn’t beat it. Through my efforts, I successfully convinced it."

Su Xiao had a rough idea of what happened. After kicking the Flat Head Brother away, given its temperament, it would never have given up and was bound to return to Liu Dong Temple for revenge.

On its way back to Liu Dong Temple, Flat Head Brother met with Bubu Wang. Through Bubu Wang’s persuasion and snack temptation, Flat Head Brother was calmed down, leading to the current situation.

"What does it want?"

Su Xiao walked towards the barrier with Bubu Wang.

"Woof."

Bubu Wang barked.

"Freedom?"

Su Xiao looked at Flat Head Brother. The latter, following behind the group, noticed Su Xiao’s gaze and also looked at him.

"You are already free; Xius has been killed by me."

Hearing Su Xiao’s words, Flat Head Brother was stunned, instinctively looking towards the distant mountain top, which was still fiery red.

Flat Head Brother began to ponder over something and approached Su Xiao. It pointed at its shaved white fur and gestured with its paws.

"What does it mean?"

Even though Su Xiao’s ’Beast Language’ was decent, Flat Head Brother’s expression was too abstract.

With Bubu Wang’s translation, Su Xiao understood Flat Head Brother’s intention. The past grievances were written off, and Flat Head Brother intended to return to Fuyuki City, which used to be its home.

Given Flat Head Brother’s temperament, being subdued by humans was evidently impossible, and maintaining a non-hostile relationship relieved Su Xiao somewhat. Though appearing strong, his injuries were severe, requiring urgent recovery.

Once healed, Su Xiao would re-enter the Holy Grail War.

Unbeknownst to him, a group was planning to target him.

The group smoothly passed through the outermost layer of the Liu Dong Temple barrier, which was a one-way barrier, easy to exit from the inside.

Just outside the barrier, Su Xiao turned to look back, the sight was desolate.

Liu Dong Temple had been razed, yet this barrier remained, suggesting it was unrelated to Liu Dong Temple, adding intrigue.

Who would set up this barrier? Resentment creatures? While possible, Su Xiao suspected it was laid by the Holy Church.

Without the consent of the Holy Church and the Magician Association, resentment creatures could not occupy Liu Dong Temple. This barrier was a ’fig leaf’; some matters should not be delved into deeply, lest constant troubles arise, like this barrier.

Su Xiao had no time to dwell on this matter; he urgently needed rest, heading straight for Fuyuki City with Bubu Wang and others.

As Su Xiao reached the outskirts of Fuyuki City, dawn was breaking. That night, he had repeatedly brushed against death.

Upon reaching Fuyuki City, Flat Head Brother parted ways with Su Xiao and quickly headed into the city, seemingly with revenge in mind.

Before becoming a resentment creature, Flat Head Brother lived in a zoo, and its arch-enemy was a lioness. With its current strength, it could easily subdue the lioness.

Su Xiao found a vacant villa on the outskirts of Fuyuki City, dragging his weary body to set up numerous alert mechanisms around.

By morning, in the villa’s bedroom, Su Xiao lay on the bed, with Sakura Matou beside him. She was carefully wrapping a bandage around Su Xiao’s arm with clumsy little hands.

Sakura Matou smiled rarely after bandaging Su Xiao’s arm.

Raising his arm, Su Xiao wondered how many layers of bandage Sakura Matou wrapped; his arm was now thicker than his leg.

"That’s enough; go rest."

"Mm~"

Sakura Matou scampered away, leaving Su Xiao alone. The previous battle had severely drained him, fortunately, Bubu Wang eased the tension with Flat Head Brother. If they had fought, Su Xiao might have lost.

The Eye of the Apostle floated in the room, on guard. Su Xiao lay in bed recuperating, and with nothing else to do, he opened the Derived World Contact Platform.

Big E (Loner): "What’s going on? Why is no one talking? Haunted?"

This message was sent three hours ago, and since then, no one had spoken on the Derived World Contact Platform.

Christmas (Loner): "Are there... any living people?"

A message suddenly popped up, and seeing this, Su Xiao’s pupils narrowed, quickly starting to type a response.

Bai Ye (Loner): "Umbrella Brother?"

In just a few seconds, Christmas, also known as Umbrella Brother, replied.
