Chapter 1083 Quest Completed
Hu Zhan hurried over to Lu Yu, his eyes widening in disbelief as he took in the
Azure Water Dragon trailing behind. “You actually brought it back? And so fast? It’s not even dark yet, and you’ve already finished the quest!”
“Damn,” he whistled, “Li Tianen’s probably just entering Blackwood Forest now. The difference in speed is staggering!”
He looked at Lu Yu with a mixture of awe and resignation. Lu Yu simply patted him on the shoulder.
“Let’s go. There is no need to hang around here. We can head back now.”
“See? That’s exactly why I didn’t bring you along. Solo, I finished the quest in no time. With you tagging along, it probably would’ve taken much longer.”
“Sure, you might have completed the quest faster,” Hu Zhan conceded, “but that’s alright. I didn’t wait too long for you. Let’s return and complete the quest by handing over this Azure Water Dragon.”
Lu Yu took the lead, striding toward the city with Hu Zhan at his side. As they walked, Hu Zhan cast curious glances at the Azure Water Dragon beside him.
“This guy’s built small,” Hu Zhan remarked after his inspection. “Probably doesn’t pack much of a punch in combat.”
Lu Yu smiled in agreement. “Exactly. Not only weak, but incredibly timid as
well. It hid in a cave, scared to budge. Probably starving, too. But hey, that
timidity’s what kept it alive this long. Otherwise, wandering around, it’d likely
have become someone else’s lunch.”
Hu Zhan chuckled. “Haha, gotta say, this is the first time I’ve seen such a cowardly dragon. Perfect pet material, really suits Xu Lingyun’s temperament.”
Continuing down the street, Lu Yu soon arrived at the entrance of the inn, where the quest was issued. This establishment stood proudly in the heart of Skyplume City, a bustling hub of activity.
As Lu Yu and his companions walked by, they drew a fair share of attention. The Azure Water Dragon was a sight to behold in the spacious street, easily distinguishable from the usual beasts of burden. But what truly captivated the onlookers was the realization that this was the very dragon Xu Lingyun desperately sought.
“Where can I find your lady?” Lu Yu inquired from the maid stationed at the door.
The maid’s eyes widened in surprise. “Y-you’re the one who just accepted the quest?” Her gaze then flickered to the Azure Water Dragon trailing behind Lu
“You… have you already found it? Really?”
Lu Yu offered a confident smile. “Indeed. See for yourself. This is the dragon your miss is looking for. It’s here now, so consider the quest completed.”
The maid inhaled sharply. “Just a few hours out, and you’ve already finished the quest? How did you manage that?” Her bewilderment was clear.
Without further ado, she turned and hurried inside. “Wait here a moment. I’ll go fetch Miss Xu right away! ”
Moments later, Xu Lingyun emerged from the inn, her eyes lighting up the moment she spotted Bi Shui Long. “The Azure Water Dragon! You actually found it! That’s fantastic!”
Overjoyed, she rushed toward the Azure Water Dragon and reached out to stroke its head. The dragon, seemingly receptive to her touch, lowered its head and nudged her hand, its eyes narrowing in contentment.
After a moment of petting, Xu Lingyun turned to Lu Yu, excitement bubbling in her voice. “Lu Yu, how did you find him? And so quickly! This is incredible. I thought it would take at least a day or two, maybe even longer, to find him. I never expected it to be done this fast!”
Her eyes sparkled with gratitude as she looked at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu smiled and offered a casual shrug. “Just a stroke of luck, really. I stumbled upon it.”
“The Blackwood Forest has a reputation for being dangerous. Did you encounter any wild beasts while you were in there? It seems unlikely. We usually have to fight a few battles, at least, to reach the deeper parts. That place isn’t exactly welcoming.” Xu Lingyun asked, a frown creasing her brow.Novel Fire - novelfire.net
Lu Yu, caught in a slight predicament, couldn’t reveal the existence of his Dragon’s Might. How could he explain the lack of encounters when his power actively deterred beasts? Would they believe he was invisible to the very creatures they feared?
Scratching his head for a believable explanation, Lu Yu finally said, “Actually, the beasts in the Blackwood Forest didn’t pose much of a threat. They seemed hesitant to attack me when I entered.”
Xu Lingyun’s eyes widened in surprise. “Hesitant? Really? Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration? Can you scare off those ferocious creatures with just your presence?”
Lu Yu offered a vague nod. “Well, let’s just say I didn’t encounter any trouble on my way.”
“Alright then,” Xu Lingyun conceded, a hint of skepticism lingering in her voice. “Regardless, you’ve successfully completed the quest. I’ll ensure you receive all the promised rewards.”
“Let’s start with this.” She reached into her pocket and retrieved a key.
“This is…?” Lu Yu inquired, his curiosity piqued.
“This is a secret key,” Xu Lingyun explained. “My father acquired it by chance three years ago, paying a hefty price for it. Unfortunately, he never found the corresponding lock that unlocks it. He kept it as a good luck charm, but it hasn’t served much purpose. Still, I’ve always carried it with me.”
“I’m giving it to you now. If you ever manage to find the secret treasure it belongs to, you can try using it to open it.”
Lu Yu accepted the key, examining it with interest. “Alright, I’ll hold onto this key and see if I can uncover the secret treasure it unlocks.”
Next, Xu Lingyun produced a ring. “This is my interspatial ring. It contains 50,000 Dragon Coins. You can use this money to purchase anything you need to care for any dragon.”
“This is a considerable sum, and I hope you find it satisfactory.” She carefully placed the ring in Lu Yu’s hand.
While money wasn’t a pressing concern for Lu Yu, with his strength allowing him to acquire it whenever needed, it was still a reward. After all, something was better than nothing.
He accepted the ring from her grasp.
“The final reward is a dazzling dragon crystal, ” Xu Lingyun continued.
“Originally, I planned to feed it to the Azure Water Dragon to enhance its strength, but… considering how much you’ve helped me, I’ve decided to offer this dazzling dragon crystal to you instead.”
Lu Yu’s gaze fixed on the flawless crystal she presented, and his curiosity was instantly piqued..
