Chapter 22: Turns Out You're a Rich Lady!
Chapter 22: Turns Out You're a Rich Lady!
"Trying to run now is a bit too late, Night God's Blade Slash — Flying Dragon!"
The blade light burst out of the sheath, leaving a trail of silver light in the air like a fleeting glimpse. However, at the moment the air exploded, a razor-thin but astonishingly fast slash shot out from the sword in Yecheng's hand and blasted towards the venomous dragon that had already flown a great distance away.
The venomous dragon, which had already flown a great distance, initially thought it had escaped the danger when it saw the human did not pursue it closely. It believed that the human could not possibly catch up, unless they used long-range magic to bring it down.
Its dragon scales had strong resistance to magic, and ordinary spells would hardly cause it any effective damage. So it thought it had escaped the danger.
But just as the venomous dragon was thinking this, a strong sense of impending death suddenly surged in its mind. When it turned back to see what was happening, a dazzling streak of light suddenly filled its entire field of vision.
Before it could react in the slightest, the blue light had already pierced through the venomous dragon's body, and then... there was nothing more.
The venomous dragon, which had been soaring in the sky, now had its eyes losing their color. With a gentle breeze, its massive body was instantly split into two in mid-air!
"Boom——————!"
As the venomous dragon's body, now cut in half, crashed to the ground, the elf maiden on the other side finally reacted.
She looked at the dismembered venomous dragon's corpse not far away, her expression still one of shock.
When Yecheng appeared, she had hoped he would not throw his life away recklessly, because for human adventurers, a venomous dragon was absolutely not a target that could be defeated in a single fight.
However, what the elf maiden never expected was that Yecheng was so strong. Not only could he engage in close combat with a subspecies dragon, but he also used such exquisite martial skills to cut the venomous dragon in half with a single strike!
"Reversing the mountain's momentum, dispelling evil, the crystal has light, the trail of distant thunder peaks returns to the ground, the night crouches over the sea of clouds, reversing the mountain's momentum.
Binding Path Seventy-Three — Inverted Crystal!"
Just as the elf maiden was still in shock at Yecheng defeating the venomous dragon, she noticed an inverted triangular crystal barrier suddenly enveloping her.
At first, the elf maiden, seeing herself trapped, thought Yecheng had ulterior motives. She forced her already weakening body to struggle up, gripping her sword tightly and looking at Yecheng with a wary expression.
"I didn't want to meddle in this, but since I've already intervened, if I let you die here, then all my efforts would have been in vain.
The poison in your body needs to be treated soon, or you'll soon follow in that guy's footsteps.
Also, please stop moving around. Your clothes are already minimal, and if you keep moving, it will be distracting, making it hard for me to focus on treating you.
Trying to seduce me as compensation won't work. Saving your life and the current treatment costs will be calculated separately."
Hearing Yecheng's words, the elf maiden's wary expression softened. When she looked down at her current state, a visible blush quickly spread across her cheeks.
Following that, a shy moan escaped her lips as she quickly crouched down, glaring at Yecheng with a look of embarrassment and anger.
"Who are you, and why are you so strong? And what kind of magic is this that can perfectly defend against the Venomous Dragon's toxic mist?"
Upon realizing that the inverted trihedral crystal surrounding her was not to imprison her but to protect her from the corrosive mist, now that her magic power was depleted, the elf maiden's vigilance began to slowly ease.
When Yecheng used the "Reversal Path" to heal the elf maiden's injuries and cleanse the toxins from her body, she was even more astonished.
While almost everyone in this world can use magic, those who can master healing and restorative magic are few. Generally, adventurers who are injured on expeditions use various potions for recovery.
The elf maiden possessed the elven royal family's secret technique for storing items, and her storage space contained healing potions and antidotes.
However, for some inexplicable reason, when Yecheng offered to heal her, the elf maiden didn't mention her potions.
"Hey, are you a curious baby? Why so many questions?
I'm so handsome, so naturally, I'm strong. What's so strange about that?
Don't you know you can't just pry into someone's information? Besides, you haven't even paid for the information, so why should I tell you so much?"
Hearing Yecheng's words, the elf maiden was speechless. Through brief interaction, she had basically determined what kind of person this guy was. So, she casually reached into her storage space, pulled out a bag of gold coins, and threw it on the ground.
"I'll pay you all the healing and information fees now. Can you answer my questions now?"
Seeing the elf maiden pull out items from the void, Yecheng was surprised to find that there was spatial magic in this world.
He was quickly drawn to the bag of coins on the ground. From the sound it made when it fell and the few glittering gold coins that spilled out, Yecheng realized that this was a full bag of gold coins!
This must be a rich lady, and a super rich one at that!
Why did he think so? Because the two A-level commissions Yecheng had taken, "Exploring the Underground Labyrinth" and "Eliminating the Poisonous Lizard Monster," had rewards of only ten and fifteen gold coins, respectively.
By the living standards of this world, one gold coin was enough for a person to live luxuriously for more than three days.
And the elf maiden... no, the elf rich lady, had just thrown a bag containing at least a hundred gold coins, which was equivalent to nearly ten A-level commissions for Yecheng.
In that instant, Yecheng felt that rescuing this person was truly worth it!
"Hello, my name is Yecheng Naya. Don't you think this Inverted Crystal is a bit too simple? I can make a more luxurious and comfortable version.
Also, the 'Reversal Path' I used for healing actually has a more luxurious version. Would you like to experience it, boss?"
Seeing how Yecheng's attitude changed drastically the moment she threw the bag of gold, the elf maiden was clearly stunned.
