Chapter 201
"One hundred thousand volts, so be it... If this electric shock really packs a punch of a hundred thousand volts, then it’s quite something... As long as she doesn’t shout 'Pikachu' while using her skills, we should be fine..."
These two skills, one offensive and one controlling, were just right for Yu Xunge.
Yu Xunge had taken a nap on a small island near the City of Eternal Day. When she woke up, it was already the evening of the 11th in Blue Star time. The red glow surrounding her had yet to fade, so she decided to fly out to the wilderness of the Sky Island to hunt monsters and level up. If there were no monsters, she would brew potions or practice her skill, **Huxing** (Fox Shadow).
When she got hungry, she ate the food in her backpack; when she felt sleepy, she transformed into an animal and burrowed into a tree hollow to rest. Occasionally, she would browse game forums to relax. Considering she might not return to Blue Star for the next few days, she even retrieved her cat den through a tattoo.
After a few hours, various channels were still buzzing about what she had done to earn so many honor points.
**Huaxia Channel**
“**Dinghai** hasn’t taken responsibility for this incident yet [doge emoji].”
“She’s a lone wolf; she never joined **Dinghai**. What can they say?”
“I really don’t get why she didn’t join. It seems like the Special Affairs Bureau treats her pretty well.”
“What’s so good about it? A text message and a verbal thank you? Do you think that if she joined, they’d owe her those?”
“The comments from above are harsh…”
“Agreed… What era is this? Don’t get hung up on formalities!”
“If it were me, I’d also be a lone wolf. Have you seen the Special Affairs Bureau thank anyone internally?”
“The official website updates the gratitude list and honor achievements every week, and they even mention rewards. You guys must never check…”
“Come on, you’ve seen it? Name one name you remember from the acknowledgments?”
“Talk is cheap. If I had the ability, I’d be a lone wolf too! Or I’d form my own legion.”
“Can we get back on topic? What did she actually do? What are honor points good for? Can you trade them for PVP gear with NPCs?”
“I want honor points too…”
“But this big shot doesn’t seem very active; I’ve never seen her speak up.”
“This is her second time earning 10,000 honor points, right? And it’s a one-time increase.”
“**Dinghai** hasn’t even asked her yet!”
**Dinghai** indeed hadn’t asked. Zhao Shuying was the first to privately message Yu Xunge to congratulate her, but it took a few hours to get a reply.
—“I was just running for my life. I don’t want to lie to you; I’m just as clueless about the honor points as you are. You know me; I can tell the important from the trivial when it comes to big matters.”
With that, Zhao Shuying and the Special Affairs Bureau naturally didn’t press further, and they truly trusted Yu Xunge’s character.
Meanwhile, not long after Yu Xunge escaped from Feng Cang, Tu Lan caught up with her through the pet space to keep her company. Before coming, she had fed all the cats in the backyard, replenished their food, and brought plenty of delicious snacks for Yu Xunge.
Hearing the whole story of how Yu Xunge had offended Feng Cang, Tu Lan also learned that Yu Xunge had acquired a new mahjong tile—**Jiu Tiao** (Nine Characters).
After learning to play mahjong, the young Tu Lan clearly understood the heartache that came with it.
She patted her chubby little legs and exclaimed, “Why is it Jiu Tiao? How do you even play this?”
Yu Xunge slapped her thigh in agreement, “Who says otherwise?”
Neither the girl nor the dragon had any idea what this was all about, but that didn’t stop the two novices from analyzing strategies and tactics over five mahjong tiles.
Yu Xunge and Tu Lan stayed on the Sky Island near the City of Eternal Day for three days. Only when the red glow around Yu Xunge finally dissipated did she change her appearance to that of a goblin. After earning her three gold coins for the day, she took the invisible Tu Lan back to the City of Eternal Day.
She deliberately strolled around the ten-meter-long wanted poster board and, as expected, spotted a moon fox named **Wu Jian**. The photo showed Wu Wei with a mischievous grin, and below it was a bounty of 3,000 gold coins, clearly stating that they wanted her alive.
Next to it was a small owl named **Quqi**, but the bounty for this identity was lower, only 100 gold coins, likely because they had identified their true identity as **Wu Jian**.
Yu Xunge fell silent.
Thinking of Yu Xunge’s ability to transform into an old lady, Tu Lan suddenly realized, “Those ‘sisters’ you said were beyond saving, they all came from this, right?”
Yu Xunge sighed, “Sigh…”
The already small Tu Lan shrank herself even smaller, sitting on the goblin’s head and whispering, “Why don’t you come up with a stage name for me? I’m scared.”
Yu Xunge replied, “What’s the point of a stage name for you? You’re the only little dragon in Zelan; once a photo is posted, everyone will know it’s you. You don’t have any skills to change your appearance. You should focus on breathing more; maybe you can figure out a transformation skill. That way, when I go out to handle big matters, I can take you along.”
Tu Lan said, “I look a lot like my mother; we’re both ice dragons. If I dress up a bit, I can pretend to be her! I’m telling you, the Holy Grail is stunning; she’s the most beautiful and powerful dragon in the Dragon Nest.”
Yu Xunge thought to herself, “... A beloved little darling, how terrifying.”
**Chapter 251: Don’t Underestimate the Twelve Holy Clans**
Tu Lan tugged at Yu Xunge’s ear, clearly displeased. “Hey, hey, hey? What’s with that expression? I stood by you unconditionally when you argued with Yi Qiuguo! In the future, if I have a spat with Beisui or the Holy Grail, you have to back me up too.”
That was a heavyweight! Were Yi Qiuguo and two adult dragons even in the same league?!
Yu Xunge took a deep breath. “I won’t let you two fight.” She resolved to read more parenting books when she got back. After a pause, she made a promise, “I’ll stand by you unconditionally.”
Only then did Tu Lan giggle, rubbing Yu Xunge’s ear. “Now that’s more like it.”
Yu Xunge didn’t rush into the city. She stood at a distance, observing for a long time, and noticed that the inspection procedures had increased significantly, and animals were no longer allowed into the city.
After witnessing a charisma 9, elegant minotaur being taken away, Yu Xunge unhesitatingly drank the **Gold Medal Assassin** potion that Lucia had given her.
Even so, she was still scrutinized for half an hour when entering the city. After passing through multiple checks, she and the dragon finally made it inside. Yu Xunge first took Tu Lan to the City of Eternal Night.
Since she had used the **Gold Medal Assassin**, she intended to stay in Zelan for at least half a day before heading back.
The **Gold Medal Assassin** was far more precious than **Melt Time**; she could now brew a substitute called **Time Will Always Be There**, which, despite having a cooldown, was manageable with a few extra bottles... The former, however, was one bottle less with each use, and she hadn’t seen any for sale at the auction house.
Such premium potions would be snatched up the moment they were listed, and most were custom-made. Brewing a bottle of high-level potion could take several hours, and for master-level or above, it could take as little as a day or as long as several months. According to Hufflepuff, some even required years of preparation, with the total time spent on the process being older than little Ma Qi.
She first returned to the library for a quick look and was surprised to find that the mahjong tile was still there...
She glanced around, neither overly cautious about not looking at the box nor lingering too long. She treated herself as if it were her first time visiting the owl library, taking in the sights. Each time she accidentally made eye contact with a different race, she would flash a goblin-style smile, looking just like a true goblin.
Tu Lan was persuaded back into the pet space, and after searching for a few hours in the library, Yu Xunge finally left. During her time there, soldiers passed by outside the library, and even inside, there were a few patrolling owl soldiers who took away a box of lost items from the consultation desk.
Yu Xunge had also been questioned several times, and someone even unexpectedly performed a rather obscure goblin greeting towards her, but she handled it all skillfully. After all, she was a woman who had dealt with goblins from 35 main cities! Forget obscure etiquette; she even knew a few goblin curse words…
As for how she learned, that’s another story… Let’s just say she listened and read a lot.
After spending a few hours in the library, Yu Xunge reluctantly left. She took Tu Lan to find Guota, wanting to ask about the little bear cookie.
It wasn’t to seek an explanation; since the little bear cookie could pass the library guards’ inspection and transform into a bear to protect her, it meant that what Guota sold her was fine, but there must be some details she didn’t understand.
Taking out the token Guota had given her, he followed her to the tavern. Even though he would forget the details of the transaction after drinking the forgetfulness potion, he wouldn’t deny the deal since she had the bone shard he had given her.
After hearing Yu Xunge’s question, Guota pondered for a moment before responding, “The situation you described makes me think of only one possibility... Every little bear cookie that protects a child’s safe growth is unique. The owl who sold me the little bear cookie is very close to the owl who recognized there was a problem with yours.”
Yu Xunge took out the little bear cookie, gently tracing the scar on its head. She hadn’t considered this angle; it was as unlikely as being recognized while holding a second-hand phone.
There was no way around it. Yu Xunge planned to buy a sports headband for the little bear when she returned to Blue Star, though she wasn’t sure whether to prepare it for its size as a bear or as a little bear cookie…
As usual, after treating Guota to a cup of forgetfulness potion, Yu Xunge made a trip to the City of Shadows. Her disguise skill still had half an hour left, and she intended to ask Hufflepuff a few questions about the issues she had encountered in the past couple of days before leaving. However, as soon as she entered, Hufflepuff pulled her into a corner and whispered, “Feng Cang, right?”
Yu Xunge’s eyes were filled with shock and confusion. “What Feng Cang? The owl royal family?”
