Chapter 32: A Special Spell

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

What kind of misunderstanding did this woman have about him?

If he showed even a small hint that he was the weaker opponent, the woman would definitely drag him back with her.

Lei Yuan took a few steps back, thinking about what kind of trick he could use to win. Thus, Lei Yuan did not strike back in their duel. Instead, he kept dodging desperately while trying to find a flaw in his opponent. However, after a few exchanges, he still could not find any weaknesses.

‘Just how strong is this woman?’

Lei Yuan tried to go on the offensive this time, but as expected, his attack failed. Before he could even get close, he was pushed back a few meters by the woman’s scimitar.

The woman unleashed a burst of energy that spread out in all directions.

Lei Yuan could feel the force behind this move. It was far stronger than his own, and it was not at a level that he could ever hope to match up to with his short period of cultivation.

“When will you show me your true power? Don’t hold anything back and fight me. Taking it so easy should be boring for you! Or are you actually looking forward to going back with me after you lose?” The woman sneered. “If you want to go back with me that badly, then that’s fine. That’s what I wanted in the first place.”

Unlike what the woman was thinking, Lei Yuan did not actually want to lose. The fact was that he did not stand a chance against her, and he was already giving everything he had.

If things continued this way, the match would really conclude with his defeat. Lei Yuan thought about it and decided to stall for time.

“Fine, I will use my full strength against you, but first, tell me your name.”

They had been fighting for a while now, and he did not even know the woman’s identity. Lei Yuan did not think that he was asking for too much.

“You’re only qualified to know if you win.” The woman snorted coldly and charged at him again with her scimitar.

Lei Yuan had no choice but to continue dodging. He hurriedly asked the system, “Hello?! Hurry up and help me! I’m going to lose at this rate!”

It was his system, right? It would not be too much to ask for its help, would it?

But for some reason, the system took a long time to reply, “I can help you, but you have to pay me 100,000 Evolution Points.”

‘100,000 Evolution Points?!’ Lei Yuan suspected that he had heard wrongly.

In the past, the cultivation manuals he acquired had only cost him a few hundred Evolution Points. And yet suddenly, he had to pay 100,000 Evolution Points?!

‘H-How strong is this woman?’

Forget 100,000, he currently could not even afford to spend 10,000 Evolution Points!

Lei Yuan asked helplessly, “Can I sign an I.O.U. instead? Help me beat her first, or else I’ll have to go back with her.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t offer loans,” the system answered very straightforwardly. “I haven’t opened the credit system yet. If you don’t pay in full, I can’t fulfill your request.”

‘What a scam!’

“Do you have any ideas, then?” Lei Yuan gave up trying to haggle with the system. He may not be able to come up with a plan, but he was sure that the system had a way.

However, the system’s answer made his mind go blank. “No, none of my items can help you now. Your current level is too low, and you can’t beat her.”

Lei Yuan silently swore in his heart that he would definitely work hard to cultivate after this!

After a few rounds, Lei Yuan found it increasingly difficult to withstand her hits, and in the end, he lost. After that, the dragon lady seemed reluctant to bring him back like she had said she would at the beginning.

Her face was filled with disappointment as she shook her head. “Looks like I was wrong about you. You’re nothing special.”

‘What?’ The change in the woman’s attitude gave Lei Yuan mixed feelings.

Why did she approach him then? Could it be that she just wanted to fight him to determine whether he was special or not? Or was she planning on using other methods to deal with him?

“Since there’s nothing special about me, can I leave now?” Lei Yuan probed, while thinking of a way to counterattack. What if she still planned to take him away?

This time, the woman remained silent, but she continued to stare at him. Lei Yuan could not tell what she was thinking.

Lei Yuan pondered, ‘Why don’t I take this opportunity to escape?’ He then quietly backed away, and he planned to turn around and run at a moment’s notice.

However, the woman quickly approached him again. Her eyes were sharp as she ordered, “You! Use your strongest spell on me! Make sure it’s interesting!”

Lei Yuan was speechless.

This woman’s actions always exceeded common sense.

‘What misunderstanding does she have this time?!’

Spells… He did not know any spells! He had only recently started learning the art of beast taming, so it would definitely not be effective on her. She was too strong!

‘What would happen if I tell her the truth?’ Lei Yuan thought about it briefly and immediately discarded the thought.

It seemed that this woman was interested in him, which was why she asked so many inquisitive questions. If she found out that he was weak, she might kill him!

He could expose this about himself!

After thinking for a while, Lei Yuan smiled and said meaningfully, “Spells? I’ve already used them on you.”

Just because he did not know any spells did not mean that he could not fool her by sounding mysterious. In any case, it was better to stall for a while.

Hearing this, the woman frowned as she wondered when he had used a spell on her.

However, the woman did not feel any desire to fight him. “But I didn’t feel anything at all. Are you really stronger than me? I only react when someone stronger than I am attacks me.”

Lei Yuan smiled meaningfully. He did not even need to say anything. This woman would fill in the gaps with her own imagination. What he needed to do was plan on how to escape and meet up with Lotti.

“Maybe the spell I used on you had no effect at all. So, can I leave now? There’s really nothing special about me.” Lei Yuan slowly retreated, and the woman did not immediately follow.

However, she still caught up to him, and she even looked as if she had suddenly realized something. “Ah! I understand now! No wonder my heart was racing when I first saw you!”

Lei Yuan was even more dumbfounded. What was going on? He did not dare move and continued to gape at the woman.

“No wonder I couldn’t take my eyes off you and couldn’t bear to kill you.”

So, what was it?

The woman suddenly reached out and stroked his chest, muttering, “I really want to cut you open and see just what’s inside you that’s making me so interested in you.”

Lei Yuan was speechless. Did he meet a pervert?

Alright, even if the woman was a pervert, with the disparity of strength between them, what could he do?

Using force was out of the question, so Lei Yuan had no choice but to use words to persuade her.

“Uh… Actually, there’s nothing special about me. There are others who are more powerful than I am, so it would be fine for you to let me leave. Look, you’ve already fought me, and I’m sure you can see just how weak I am. I’m not worthy of challenging someone as strong as you.”

The woman shook her head. “I don’t care about that. All I want is for you to come back with me.”Suddenly, her tone became sharp. “Don’t try and weasel your way out of this. We agreed that as long as you lose, you would have to leave with me. You’re not going to go back on your word now, are you?”

Lei Yuan tried to defend his stance.

“I didn’t promise you anything, so naturally, it’s not possible for me to go back on my word. You’re just drawing your own conclusions.”

“I don’t care. You have to come back with me, or I’ll kill you!”
