Chapter 335: 334 The Newbie Owner Is Very Relieved

Shane naturally had no way of knowing about things happening elsewhere.

At this moment, Shane was still with a group of girls, riding on You Lin, flying through the air toward Cosmos.

He didn’t need to know the exact location of Cosmos, just that it was to the north, so he let You Lin fly straight north.

Knowing the general direction, and with You Lin’s high vantage point, finding a city wouldn’t be difficult.

Additionally, since Shane had the “Magic Perception” skill, he could detect places with a large concentration of magic entities. Such places were generally human cities, so there was no need to worry about not finding the destination, just fly brainlessly north.

Of course, just because Shane noticed nothing, it did not mean others didn’t.

Jade, held in Lasha’s arms, lifted her eyelids for a moment, then after a while went back to her original state and refocused on Shane.

Since leaving Jeliteli, Jade’s gaze had been fixated on Shane, though no one knew why.

Lasha seemed to have noticed this but didn’t pay much attention, calmly and indifferently holding Jade.

As for Ai Yi, who was originally dozing off, she opened her eyes.

“Hmph.”

Ai Yi frowned and coldly snorted in displeasure.

“What’s wrong?”

Hearing Ai Yi’s snort, Shane couldn’t help but startle, looking at the little girl with puzzlement.

“Nothing,” Ai Yi said emotionlessly, “just some blind people doing something.”

“Blind people?” Shane didn’t understand Ai Yi’s meaning and said discontentedly, “Can you speak more clearly? I hate it when you big shots are all cryptic, scaring us newbies.”

Upon hearing this, Ai Yi rolled her eyes.

Although she didn’t know what a ‘newbie’ meant, Ai Yi could feel that it was definitely something out of Shane’s league.

That made Ai Yi even less willing to explain.

“Forget those trivialities, let’s quickly find and take out the Old Demon Clan Faction scum, then go back and comfortably sleep.”

Ai Yi seemed annoyed, clearly not wanting to waste much time on other matters.

“Why don’t you, a cute little… a pretty girl, try not to always talk about fighting and killing?”

Shane had meant to say “cute little girl,” but after being glared at by Ai Yi, he immediately changed his phrasing.

“How should I talk then?”

Ai Yi looked annoyed.

This is what Shane said.

“Of course, you should say, ‘Let’s quickly squash all those cockroaches that only know how to hide in sewers, and then go back and comfortably sleep.'”

Shane’s serious suggestion left Ai Yi speechless.

“…Isn’t that way of putting it even worse?”

Ai Yi was at a loss for words.

“Not at all,” Shane countered, “Girls should scream at the sight of cockroaches, then frantically smack them dead with slippers. That’s perfectly normal. Saying things like scum and take out is not what girls should say.”

Okay, everything you say makes sense.

Anyway, Ai Yi didn’t feel like retorting.

“I’m going to sleep, wake me up when we get there.”

And with that, Ai Yi lay down on the dragon’s back, hugging a pillow, ready to enter dreamland.

“You’re bold, actually sleeping on a dragon’s back.”

Now it was Shane who was rendered speechless.

So high up, and lying down to sleep while the mount flew at high speed, it was almost certain that getting thrown off could undoubtedly happen.

Although You Lin had used magic to part the atmosphere, making it so the roaring wind wouldn’t reach their backs during flight and it was rather smooth, this was ultimately not a place to sleep.

If it were someone else, they certainly wouldn’t dare to be so reckless.

If Ai Yi dared to do it, it was probably because she truly had the confidence she wouldn’t be thrown from the dragon’s back, or even if she were thrown off, or fell down, it wouldn’t cause her any harm?

“Really now.”

Shane helplessly extended his hand, hugging Ai Yi into his arms, letting the little girl sleep on him.

Ai Yi opened her eyes, gave Shane a glance, then closed them again, seemingly not minding the arrangement.

No, perhaps judging from the little girl’s relaxed posture, Shane’s actions, on the contrary, seemed to satisfy her?

“Stubborn tsundere…”

Shane muttered to himself but dared not say more.

Otherwise, the likelihood of him being thrown off the dragon’s back was also a solid hundred percent.

As Shane thought this, suddenly, another small figure burrowed into his arms.

“Jade?”

Shane looked surprisedly at his bosom.

Jade, for some reason, had burrowed into it, nuzzling Shane’s chest, then like Ai Yi, closed her eyes and deeply fell asleep.

Ai Yi seemed to sense it, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking displeased and a bit bothered, but she said nothing and quietly continued to sleep.

“Seriously…”

Seeing the two little girls, one on each side nestled in his arms, Shane could only give a wry smile, turning to Lasha on the side.

Lasha didn’t have much of a reaction, even if Jade suddenly broke away from her embrace and ran to burrow in Shane’s embrace.

However, as Shane noticed her gaze, Lasha merely said in a subdued tone,

“You already have two in your arms.”

This remark made the corners of Shane’s mouth twitch.

The meaning of this sentence was probably only known to Shane himself.

After all, just a moment ago, Shane was thinking, “Why not give Lasha a hug too?”

Even though the two little girls in his arms were warm and soft, Shane still found himself wanting to hold the big maid who was both beautiful and well-proportioned.

Who would have thought that Lasha would cut his ambition short with just one sentence?

“…You can’t actually read minds, can you?”

“I don’t have that skill.”

“Then how do you know what I’m thinking?”

“That is a meaningless question. A qualified maid is always supposed to understand what their master wants.”

“…”

Alright, I shouldn’t have asked that question.

Hmm, Big Sister is as reliable as ever, making the novice master feel at ease.

…

At the same time, in Jeliteli’s Nameless Graveyard, a group of Beastmen were also frantically treating their Holy Daughter.

“Cough cough…!”

After gulping down a bottle of advanced Magic Potion, the Foxman Saintess seemed to have recovered quite a bit, coughing while her face still looked a bit pale.

“It’s alright, I’m fine now, no need to waste any more expensive Magic Potions.”

As she noticed the Beastmen still intending to bring out more Magic Potions, the Foxman Saintess waved them off, stopping them.

Although she was still weak, the Beastman Race was not like the Human Race; they struggled with the development of Magic Potions. They lacked the delicate craftsmanship of Humans and Elves, and were far from the ingenious wits of Ghosts, so every bottle of Magic Potion was precious to them and had to be used and stored carefully.

“Are you sure you’re alright, Holy Daughter?”

The Catman girl was still somewhat worried, and the surrounding Beastmen felt the same way, with the Wolfman Strongman looking especially anxious, almost to the point of biting someone out of urgency.

“I really am fine.” The Foxman Saintess shook her head, and with her lips quivering, she said, “Compared to this matter, I must tell you that this incident may be more troublesome and dangerous than we anticipated.”

Upon hearing this, the Beastmen were taken aback.

Seeing their reaction, the Foxman Saintess shared everything she had seen during her “Prayer.”

After hearing the Foxman Saintess’s account, indeed, the Beastmen were alarmed.

“It resisted the power of ‘Prayer’?”

“And there’s someone very frightening near the target?”

“Dragons?”

“How could there be a Dragon appearing?”

The Beastmen felt like the situation was getting out of hand, and one by one, they began to panic.

Even the Wolfman Strongman felt the same way.

Although they did not know who the “very frightening person” described by the Foxman Saintess was or how terrifying they could be, the mere presence of “Dragons”–the strongest among Demons–was enough to cause alarm. To the Beastmen, who naturally possessed incredible physical strength and acute senses, they were still no different from ants when facing Dragons and could not surpass them in power.

The Wolfman Strongman was indeed very confident in his own strength, believing that it was one in ten thousand among the Human Race who could match him in terms of sheer power, but even he was not so arrogant as to compare himself with a Dragon.

But such a Dragon seemed to be tamed by that “very frightening person,” which showed just how formidable they must be.

The Catman girl’s heart sank too, but she recalled something.

“Speaking of which, when I came to Jeliteli, I seemed to hear about this matter.” The Catman girl spoke thoughtfully, “It’s said that a Viscount who had tamed a Dragon came here from the Royal Capital.”

“A Viscount from the Royal Capital?” The Foxman Saintess immediately looked at the Catman girl, asking urgently, “Do you know who it is?”

“It appears to be an Adventurer who was only recently granted a title of nobility.” The Catman girl tried hard to recall, and finally managed to extract the information from her memory, her eyes flashing as she said, “He was directly made a Viscount because he eliminated a faction of the Old Demon Clan and exposed a noble from the Royal City Nobles who was collaborating with another faction of the Old Demon Clan. Moreover, he not only tamed a Dragon but also has a deep connection with the Kingdom Treasure.”

At the mention of “Kingdom Treasure,” a sense of reverence appeared in the Catman girl’s eyes.

The rest of the Beastmen also felt a hint of awe; the merely heard name of the Kingdom Treasure, the modern Hero, and this Princess’s reputation rang loud even among the Beastman Race. Considering their special status and connection with the Divine Race, they held both respect and fear for Luoqi–who was dearly loved by the Divine Race and had received the blessing of one of the Three Great Goddesses.

On the contrary, the Foxman Saintess furrowed her brows.

“A noble who has a deep connection with the Kingdom Treasure…”

This was not good news.

Because this place was close to the Ragna Empire, one of the friends of the Foxman Saintess from within the Ragna Empire had also come to this territory, apparently investigating the recent strange occurrences.

Yet, this person was at odds with the Kingdom Treasure.

Having the figure they were seeking at the side of that noble meant a high chance of encounter.

When that happened, sparks would fly, potentially giving opportunists from the Old Demon Clan Faction or other terrifying parties a chance to exploit the situation.

“No, I must hurry over there.”

The Foxman Saintess immediately made a decision.

She too knew where she needed to go.

“The Dragon flew northward.”

In that direction, there was a city that had recently become the focus of attention and was the source of everything.

“We’re heading to Cosmos.”
