Possibly due to theheavy hammer, his movements were slow, but it was enough to prove his strong physique.

Juxi pulled out the silver spear and stabbed him twice before he finally fell down. The two stabs were not clean and neat, but rather dramatic enough to scatter all the guy’s companions, who had seen the power of Tian Dao Shi’s silver spear.

In the notes...

Hmm, a ghost corpse as big as an elephant's head. This was the result of my first hunt, or more accurately, my first solo hunt.

In the Tian Dao Institute, there would always be a mentor watching over us before we went… but this time, I went alone!

Of course, my descendants wouldn't find this boring, right?

After finishing writing this, Juxi suddenly remembered the most important thing, which was…

"Hello, thank you for saving me and my father. We, father and daughter, don't know how to repay you." The girl who came over to greet him was slightly beautiful and had a very well-proportioned figure. Her huge eyes were full of innocence.

It seemed like she was a bit of an airhead, but of course, Juxi didn't care about that. He was concerned about whether anyone would settle the bill for his bodyguard services.

The man behind the girl should be her father… huh, father?

With a sorrowful cry, the girl immediately fell onto a middle-aged man, shouting, "Dad!!! Sobbing…"

Oh, things escalated too quickly for Juxi to process.

By the time he arrived, the girl's father had been stabbed over a dozen times all over by those ghost corpses. Even if Juxi used some healing spells, it probably wouldn't last half an hour, definitely not to Capital!

Juxi felt he must talk to that girl, even though he didn't need to.

"Where was I just now? Ah yes, I was talking about my first act of chivalry."

Thinking back to his time at the Tian Dao Institute, the masters had constantly warned him not to meddle in unprofitable matters, to stay away from any such situations, and not to play the hero or uphold justice.

Yes, that's what Juxi told himself: "I'm on the road to make money and complete tasks, not to show off how righteous I am. But then I… still messed things up like an idiot."

Juxi hadn't even left the school's five-mile radius…

"Do you know why I did this? I wanted the girl to kiss my hands with tears of gratitude, and her father to kneel down and thank me for saving their family. But, in certain ways, her father… escaped," said Juxi with a tinge of sadness.

At that moment, the girl was covered in her father's blood, not just on the surface, but also going into hysterics.

When Juxi tried to approach her, she fainted in fear.

“Oh my goodness…” Juxi silently took out his water flask and comforted himself as he approached the girl, “Since it has come to this, let me do a good deed to the end, hope I won't inexplicably gain a daughter or a sister from this.”

From then on, Juxi rarely, if at all, got involved in such matters.

He disliked this job, but gradually grew fond of it.

For instance, he would often ride to various places to admire the scenery along the way, then wait for his next business opportunity there.

Of course, sometimes he would encounter hooligans or ruffians. If they spat at Juxi, cursed at him, threw things or garbage at him, he would quickly leave the place.

On the other hand, if someone came out from a house and offered him a job, he would stay back without hesitation to complete it.

And thus, for nearly a decade, Juxi had been wandering between wealthy mansions and noble palaces, searching for reward notices posted outside the city walls with messages like ‘Demon Elimination Order’.

The following events were quite similar; either the job locations were in desolate wilderness or grand estates, graveyards, ruins, forests, or canyons. These places were usually filled with the heavy aura of bones and the stench of corpses, housing some dirty creatures.

Perhaps for survival, or just for pleasure, some were transformed into this state due to curses from certain individuals.

From small wandering spirits to large ghastly corpses, Juxi had killed them all.

He always danced with these creatures not belonging to this world in the darkness…

"You don't belong in this world, may your suffering fade with you!"

With these words, Juxi would kill them with a strike of his sword or spear.

Then he would swiftly transact with his buyers, where fear and disgust often flashed in their eyes as they paid him.

Sometimes Juxi wondered if what he was doing was wrong. Yes, it must be.

But Juxi always adhered to his principles, using them to silence people. They liked that approach; those who followed noble principles usually gained respect and recognition.
