In his previous life, he had witnessed Zeshita's suffering from cryosleep firsthand. Having learned of the Island of a Thousand Lakes from Ilsa, he immediately went to retrieve the Sunflower.
That night, the Dragon King showed him a shy expression for the first time.
If I didn't have other things to do recently, I probably would have offered to help her get it this time.
Zehita glanced at him, still cold, but the killing intent seemed to have lessened.
"How did you know about my cryosleep disorder? And why did you help me?"
"It's normal to have a good understanding of the person you love, right? As for why I helped you, do I even need to explain?" Ya Feng said, shrugging.
Zehita glared at him, but didn't say anything more.
Half a year has passed since she transformed from a dragon into a human. During the time she was chasing Ya Feng, she calmed down and realized how terrifying this human was.
As the Dragon King, she knew her own strength best. She was immune to spells below the seventh rank, and the power of spells above the seventh rank decreased with each rank. Yet, Ya Feng's single "Decree Contract" had turned her into this state, meaning that the rank of that contract spell had probably reached the highest twelfth rank.
The Kingdom of Fein mobilized the entire nation's resources to activate a twelfth-tier spell once, and the resulting destruction directly led the demons to sign a ceasefire agreement.
What does it mean to unleash a 12th-order spell with one's own power?
But this guy uses it to do such a boring thing to himself!
Is it even human?!
Actually, Zeshita had come fully prepared today, fearing that this guy might try some tricks again, like casting another mind-controlling spell on her or something...
But I never expected that they really came to help me.
Frostbite is her second biggest problem right now. If she could get the Sunflower, she would never have to suffer from this pain again.
What is the biggest problem?
The first is Ya Feng.
"I will spare you for now, and I will repay this favor. But after that, as long as you don't transform me back into a dragon, I will never let you off the hook!" Zeshita glared at him fiercely, then took off and rose into the air.
But then Ya Feng called out to her, and shouted:
"Alyssa!"
“What?” Zeshita frowned and turned to look at him.
Did he suddenly mention this name for some reason? Or was he reminding himself of something?
Ya Feng smiled slightly: "This is the name we've chosen for our future daughter. If it's a boy, let's call him Aatrox. What do you think...?"
boom!!
A torrent of lightning crashed down on Ya Feng, blasting sand and stones into the air. To Ilsa's astonishment, only a charred crater remained where Ya Feng had stood.
Zeshita snorted coldly, turned around, and disappeared into the horizon as a beam of light.
After she left, Ya Feng climbed out of the pit, shook off the dirt, looked at the lingering halo of light on the horizon, and sighed.
"She's still so domineering, but I like her just the way she is; it gives me a real sense of conquest."
"Ya Feng!"
Ilsa rushed up.
“That secret technique might have already expired. What if Zeshita finds out it can’t be used and comes back to hold us accountable!” Ilsa ran up and said.
"Don't worry, why would I ask you to do anything for her if I wasn't confident?" Ya Feng said.
"This time, she owes me a favor."
Ilsa had no choice but to believe it.
"I really don't know why I had to mess with her..." Ilsa said, rubbing her forehead in exasperation.
I thought I would be safe if I followed Ya Feng, but now it seems a bit uncertain.
We still don't know if this guy has provoked any other terrifying beings...
"By the way... Ya Feng, are you... alright?" Ilsa looked at the scorch marks on his body; the violent lightning strike didn't seem to have caused him any harm.
Ya Feng looked at her and chuckled:
"After being a loli enthusiast for so long, would I be afraid of electric shocks?"
"..."
"What are you so proud of...?"
Chapter Eleven: I'll Show You a Big Treasure
The remains of a deep canyon.
In the darkness, the fluorescent light flickered, illuminating several figures.
They were an adventure team, carrying weapons and equipment, but the extent of their damage indicated that they had been through a fierce battle.
"Damn it, we've finally arrived..."
The leader, holding a map, saw a landscape ahead that resembled the one marked on the map: a trident-shaped mountain peak.
"Boss, is there really such a legendary secret realm there? Quite a few of us have died on this journey," a team member behind him said, panting.
"The intelligence can't be wrong, and the detectors have already detected a strong magical reaction there, so it can't be wrong..."
The captain's gaze gradually turned cold.
"We paid such a high price to get here, but once we obtain that treasure and unparalleled power, money, authority... none of that will matter! We will also kill all those who reject us and prove that our Lord is the greatest being in the world!"
"Then, does that mean I can force Xiaofang to marry me?"
"What a loser! All the beautiful women in the world will be ours by then!" the captain said with a loud laugh.
He started coughing as he laughed.
"Cough cough... Enough said, let's hurry up and go." After he recovered, he led his team down the mountain.
Soon, they saw the entrance to the secret realm: a pale blue fragment of space, abruptly appearing between two rocks.
That was the entrance to the secret realm, and they could already sense strong magical fluctuations emanating from it.
"It's true!!"
Everyone couldn't help but cheer.
But the captain's smile didn't last long before he saw a scene that terrified him.
Beside the entrance to the secret realm, a small fire was burning, and on top of the fire was the head of a giant Minotaur, the extremely ferocious monster that had slaughtered more than ten of their team members along the way.
At this moment, however, he was beheaded and then placed on a fire, roasted like food.
A black-haired figure sat in front of the fire, with a black wooden cane stuck beside him.
Hearing the sound, the other person turned around, their mouth still greasy, and saw them.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, coming all this way." He raised his hand and greeted them with a smile.
"However, I found this place first, so it's first come, first served."
The captain understood what he meant, his expression changed, and he immediately tried to draw his wand.
But it was too late. A golden light flashed, and with a few thuds, several lifeless headless bodies fell to the ground.
Ya Feng wiped his mouth, stood up, gripped his cane, and walked towards the entrance of the secret realm.
The blue spacetime fragment flickered a few times, transforming into a spinning vortex. He reached out, touched it, and then vanished from the spot.
...
The bustling market was filled with the smells of earth and vegetables. People were loudly haggling over prices, and the ground was littered with rotten vegetable leaves and poultry feathers.
"Here, this is your money."
The boss handed Ilsa a stack of banknotes.
After counting, she looked up, slightly embarrassed:
"Boss, why is it a dollar less than last time..."
"There's nothing we can do. We signed the import bill with the elves this month, and now the prices of our domestic agricultural products are almost all gone. This is the current purchase price," the shopkeeper said.
"But, but I'm selling eggs."
"I can't do anything about it, little sister. I didn't set the purchase price." The boss shrugged helplessly.
"...Boss, could you please make an exception? My... Dad, Ya Feng used to sell his goods here." Ilsa had no choice but to play the emotional card.
"Are you Ya Feng's daughter?" The boss raised his eyebrows.
"correct."
"That's fine."
Then the boss took two banknotes from her hand.
“That kid still owes me two yuan from last time, so I’ll just deduct it from here.”
"..."
...
On her way home, Ilsa looked at the change in her hand, along with some potatoes and bread. She had gone to the market early that morning, but had only sold this little bit, which made her sigh.
"Even the income here has decreased so much."
Mara's ranch was hit by cow plague a while ago, and many dairy cows died. They are currently closed off to recover the losses, and it is estimated that it will be another month before the next batch of new dairy cows arrives.
So now she has no source of income, and the income from selling eggs is barely enough to make ends meet.
In addition, Ya Feng suddenly ran away a few days ago and hasn't been home for a week. We don't know where he went.
Let's ask him for some money when he gets back.
When she got home, she saw Ya Feng's trench coat hanging by the door.
"He's back?"
They searched upstairs and downstairs but couldn't find him. Then, they turned around and saw that the cellar door was open.
She went downstairs and smelled a faint, herbal scent.
Stepping into the cellar, she was stunned by what she saw.
The cellar was filled with wooden barrels made of galvanized iron and wood, and in the center, a half-person-tall egg with a shimmering surface stood inside a glass case.
Meanwhile, Ya Feng was standing to the side, holding a wooden bucket and pouring a semi-transparent green solution into the glass dome.
“Ilsa, you’re back just in time. Come here, let me show you Daddy’s precious baby.”
Ya Feng said with great interest.
Ilsa walked up to the glass dome.
"This is...an egg?"
Upon hearing her question, Ya Feng gave a smug snort.
"It's a source beast egg. I found it while I was out these past few days."
Ilsa's eyes widened immediately.
"Source Beast?! Really?"
This is one of the rarest magical beasts in the world, known as the familiar of the gods.
As a magical beast, it does not have a fixed physical form. Instead, it will transform into the most suitable familiar of the host based on the host's personality and abilities after making a contract with the human. Moreover, all the talents gained after the contract are top-notch.
If this were in a game, it would be the ultimate pet that whales could max out with a single click.
But now it has been obtained by Ya Feng.
"How...how did you get that?" Ilsa asked in shock.
These kinds of things are basically priceless and unavailable. Their value is simply beyond what an individual can afford. There was an adventure team that captured a juvenile source beast deep in a secret realm. In the end, the demon royal family secretly bought it. Rumor has it that the money they paid was enough to build a heavy naval fleet!
Unhatched source beasts have greater potential and are therefore more valuable, meaning...
Right now, this basement contains an entire, or even more, naval fleet!
"Just a little bit of information," Ya Feng said with a faint smile.
