Chapter 113: Advancing to Intermediate

Nie Yingying did not expect Xie Yaoyao to let her be the one to offer the Golden Apple to complete the mission.

"Then what about you? This is an advanced mission!"

The smile on Xie Yaoyao's face spread completely, making his grin look somewhat foolish.

"You still know this is an advanced mission? If we don't turn it in, are you waiting for the three of them to die with you?"

"But... but..." Nie Yingying stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say. In the end, she could only glare at the grinning Xie Yaoyao once more. "You're smiling so happily, you must have thought of a way!"

"Hahaha, there's no special way! By the way, let Captain Leina offer the Golden Apple; she has experience!"

Gritting her teeth, Nie Yingying chose to trust Xie Yaoyao. Since he chose to let the Daisy Kingdom complete the offering ceremony, he must have his reasons.

This guy is as cunning as a fox; he must have already thought of a solution. Nie Yingying believed he wouldn't seek his own death.

"Captain Leina, hurry and offer the Golden Apple to the Goddess!"

Hearing Nie Yingying say this, the already impatient Leina nodded in agreement immediately.

Holding the Golden Apple in her hands, she walked quickly to the front of Goddess Aila and knelt on one knee.

A pair of fair hands lifted the Golden Apple high!

The Golden Apple transformed into a stream of golden light and merged into Goddess Aila's body. A pleasant, melodious music sounded from nowhere, and the flowers that had withered and died all burst with vitality once again.

Fairies the size of fingers were born in the warm light, flapping their colorful little wings as they frolicked among the flowers.

Goddess Aila's body began to emit a strong but non-scorching light. This light spread out like ripples, reaching straight into the sky before disappearing.

All the members of the Knight Order knelt down, tears streaming down their faces as they thanked the Goddess for her protection!

After the light faded, all the Cyclopes and giant goats on the Lake Heart Island had disappeared. Even the corpse of Feimosi, which had been lying on the ground, was nowhere to be seen. Only a huge trident remained in its place.

"Huh! Didn't expect it to drop equipment."

As soon as Xie Yaoyao reached out and touched the huge trident, it seemed to have consciousness, shrinking until it reached a normal size.

"The... the Ruyi Trident? Damn, I picked up a treasure!"

However, this could only be considered an unexpected surprise; only Vivian's side could be considered truly interesting.

Ever since she saved Xie Yaoyao earlier, Vivian had been riding on that huge fish bone, like a knight trying to tame a wild horse.

That bone fish was stubborn, and it just happened to meet Vivian, who was equally stubborn. Wasn't this a case of meeting a worthy opponent? They had been tossing and turning until now without stopping.

It wasn't until Goddess Aila's light brushed past that the huge bone fish, instead of disappearing like the other Cyclopes, calmed down, and the flames in its eyes changed from red to blue.

"Huh! Tamed, haha! Giddyup! Giddyup!"

The bone fish actually followed Vivian's will and began to swim freely in mid-air.

"Hahahaha, Sister Nie, Axing, Xiaosha, look at me, hahaha!"

This guy has such strong luck; the hidden trap set by Feimosi was actually turned into a mount by her in such a muddled way.

"Congratulations to Travelers Nie Yingying (Vivian, Agasha, Duanmu Xing, Xie Yaoyao) for completing the plot mission 'The Goddess's Golden Apple'!"

Hearing the prompt that the advanced mission was completed, the four women were all overjoyed, but then their hearts tightened, and they all turned their heads toward Xie Yaoyao.

Seeing Xie Yaoyao smiling and nodding at them, signaling that he had also heard the mission completion prompt, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the entire world before them began to ripple like water.

All the characters, flowers, and the tall apple tree not far away began to become extremely illusory along with these waves.

When everything returned to normal, Xie Yaoyao found that the five of them had returned to the garden where he first met the little girl Aila.

Roses, tulips, lavender, and daisies—the four seas of flowers were clearly divided into four sections by a gravel path and a small river.

The place where the four stood was right under a tall apple tree, with four statues of goddesses with different styles standing nearby.

"Yay! We're back! Haha, I've advanced to the Fourth Tier!"

Following the sound, Vivian was sitting securely on the back of a huge bone fish, laughing loudly.

"It actually brought it back! But this is too eye-catching; my weapon is better!"

"【Sea Soul Trident】, a purple weapon! A weapon forged by the Cyclops leader Feimosi in imitation of his father's artifact, the 'Sea God Trident'. It is not only extremely hard but also possesses the power to control water currents and break through mountains and rocks!"

Just as she saw Vivian riding the bone fish in a circle, she suddenly spoke.

"Setus, smaller, smaller!"

The bone fish actually became smaller and smaller, until it was just enough for Vivian to sit on it alone.

"Hahaha, so fun!"

Vivian rode the bone fish to the side of the four and jumped down. The bone fish actually kept shrinking until it was only a dozen centimeters long, floating beside Vivian's head.

Damn it!

I want one!

"Quick, quick, a white monster seems to have appeared in the garden, let's go take a look!"

Noisy sounds came from far to near. After the five looked at each other, they immediately understood that Setus's huge figure floating in mid-air had been seen by the guards of Heisenbao.

With constant 'splash' sounds, the four women immediately jumped into the small river and fled.

Xie Yaoyao also turned into a swift and flew out of Heisenbao with Helai'er and Lilisi.

On the way back to Heisen Town, all five of them were all smiles.

After all, after a bitter battle, everyone had successfully advanced to the Fourth Tier, becoming Intermediate Travelers, and everyone had returned safely without injury.

"Sister Vivian, what are your plans next?"

Although Vivian seemed very unreliable, she could always turn danger into safety, and she could always stand up at the most critical moment. This made Agasha, who had always admired her, even more convinced that this guy was a master who played the fool.

Now that the cooperative advanced mission was completed, Agasha couldn't wait to see Vivian's next itinerary.

"Me? Probably go back to the Holy City to advance! Now that I'm at the Fourth Tier, my 【Temple Knight】 profession can also be officially advanced! Haha, the next time you see me, I'll be a 【Paladin】!"

Vivian scratched her head, already imagining her heroic posture as she successfully became a purple-tier 【Paladin】.

"By the way, Axing must be going back to the Holy City this time too! Then it's perfect to go together!"

Everyone looked at the youngest, Duanmu Xing. After fighting side by side and entrusting their lives to each other, the little girl was still a bit shy.

"Hmm! Sister told me that after the advancement is successful, she will take me back to the Holy City!"

"Eh! You're all going to the Holy City together; I haven't been to the Radiant Land yet!"

Hearing that Vivian and Duanmu Xing were both going to the Holy City, Agasha couldn't help but feel very tempted.

Hearing Agasha say this, Vivian immediately became excited. She liked Agasha so much; she understood her heart so well!

"Xiaosha, listen to me, the Holy City is so interesting! There's the Huiye Cathedral, the Radiance Tower, and many other interesting places. Come with us! Axing and I met at the Radiance Square. When the time comes, I'll take you to play. There are many pigeons there, and they are delicious!"

"Delicious?" ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
