Chapter 89

But no matter how Li Yao looked at it,

they were all trash skills.

Although it was SS-rank, he had seen the Dark-Winged Black Dragon's skill attributes.

Compared to the two, calling it a dragon was more like calling it a big lizard.

An Earth Dragon, huh?

Then it's fine.

The Dark-Winged Black Dragon's original body was an existence like an apostle of the Tower of Heaven.

The two were not even in the same dimension!

Never mind that he was currently lacking an auxiliary-type summon; even if he really needed a main-combat summon,

Li Yao wouldn't look at this thing at all.

"How is it? Are you satisfied, Li Yao?"

Kujo Mise saw that Li Yao hadn't spoken for a long time and thought he was shocked by the Flame Prison Earth Dragon's attributes.

A smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

That's right.

As a Summoner, how could he refuse the temptation of a giant dragon!

"Li Yao, my patience has its limits. I can tell you quite responsibly that once you learn this skill book, you will be the only Summoner in the world to possess a dragon pet."

"This skill book was dropped after the Kujo family triggered a hidden BOSS in a high-tier dungeon called the [Nine-Direction Flame Domain]. We only managed to defeat it after sacrificing the lives of dozens of high-tier professionals. There will absolutely never be another one like it in this world."

"With it, and my support, you will become the strongest Summoner."

"So, give me your answer, Li Yao."

Kujo Mise’s cold face carried a smile as she looked at Li Yao.

Before Li Yao could speak, he felt a gaze filled with extreme resentment.

The owner of that gaze was the Summoner standing beside Kujo Mise.

Cao Cao Bowen had once cast aside all his dignity, begging Kujo Mise to give him this skill book.

Yet, Kujo Mise hadn't given him the slightest bit of face.

She had dismissed him with a single "You are not worthy."

And now, she was handing it to Li Yao just like that, without him having to pay any price at all!

Moreover, looking at Kujo Mise’s demeanor,

even if Li Yao became her guard, he would absolutely not be reduced to a dog of the Kujo family like him.

Miss Mise was inviting him with genuine sincerity.

"Damn it!"

Cao Cao Bowen cursed under his breath, trembling with rage.

They were both Summoners; why was there such a gap?

"I refuse."

Li Yao said flatly.

"You refuse?!" Cao Cao Bowen thought he had misheard.

At the same time, a surge of excitement rose within him!

This guy is an idiot!

If he refuses, does that mean this skill book belongs to me?

Kujo Mise’s smile stiffened slightly.

Seeing Li Yao so calm, she couldn't quite understand it.

"Li Yao, have you seen this skill book clearly?"

"Yeah, the skill is pretty good," Li Yao said dismissively.

"So if there’s nothing else, you should leave. Having so many people standing here looks quite intimidating."

Seeing that Li Yao intended to close the door and send them away,

Kujo Mise hurriedly blocked the gate.

Li Yao’s eyes turned slightly cold: "Kujo Mise, I’ve refused quite clearly, haven't I? With so many people, do you intend to stay for a meal?"

"No, Li Yao."

Kujo Mise was a bit anxious and hurriedly said:

"Are you bothered by the two conditions I proposed the other day?"

"I can guarantee that in the future, you will only take orders from me alone. Even within the Kujo family, no one else will be able to restrict you!"

"Even..."

A faint blush flashed across Kujo Mise’s cold face.

She lifted her chin, letting Li Yao see her appearance clearly.

"Even if you become a supreme powerhouse and we get along well, it wouldn't be impossible for us to become husband and wife."

"What!"

"Miss!"

Cao Cao Bowen and the guards behind her were shocked.

Kujo Mise hadn't even considered them.

This was her second plan.

She was very confident in her looks; with these words, she didn't believe Li Yao wouldn't be tempted.

Once he became a loyal dog at her feet, wouldn't he be at her beck and call?

Li Yao’s strength and appearance were barely worthy of her.

As for becoming husband and wife?

We'll see how he performs.

"Heh."

"Bang!"

Li Yao sneered and slammed the gate shut.

Leaving Kujo Mise outside, stunned and standing in place.

"What does he mean!"

"Is he rejecting me?"

If Li Yao rejected the skill book, she would only think he didn't know its value.

But rejecting the offer to become husband and wife—

in Kujo Mise’s eyes, this was an insult!

"Li Yao."

Kujo Mise’s face turned cold instantly, her teeth grinding with a slight 'creak'.

Cao Cao Bowen, seeing his master so angry, could not remain indifferent.

He kicked out directly.

How could the gate withstand the legs of a professional?

With a boom, it was kicked flying.

Li Yao, who was walking into his house, turned back abruptly, a hostile smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"So, you want to start a fight?"

Almost simultaneously,

the guards behind Kujo Mise swarmed in, entering the Li family courtyard and surrounding Li Yao.

"Swish!"

The Void Mantis appeared beside Kujo Mise.

Its sickle-like claws, gleaming with a cold luster, were held against Kujo Mise’s neck.

Kujo Mise looked shocked; she hadn't even seen how this creature appeared beside her.

However,

The foundation of the Kujo family gave her full confidence that she could escape from the other party's hands.

But Kujo Mise did not choose to do so; instead, she shouted sternly:

"What are you doing?!"

"Li Yao-kun is my most honored guest. No one is allowed to touch him except me!"

"Cao Cao Bowen, acting without my orders—if there is a next time, I will kill you."

After disciplining her subordinate, Kujo Mise looked at Li Yao calmly.

"Li Yao-kun, I have no malicious intent."

"If you had malicious intent, you would already be a corpse."

Li Yao said coldly.

The surrounding guards retreated out the gate, and the figure of the Void Mantis once again submerged into the void.

"I will find someone to repair the gate." Kujo Mise walked slowly toward Li Yao, smiling lightly as she met his gaze.

"Li Yao-kun will refuse me."

"Perhaps it is also my own problem for not making Li Yao-kun clear about my abilities."

"How about this? Let's make a bet: you fight Cao Cao Bowen."

"He is not as good as you, but with my blessing, I believe he can also cause you some trouble."

"If you lose, you will come with me and become my guard, and the conditions mentioned before will remain the same."

"How about it?"

"What if you lose?" Li Yao countered.

This woman had come all the way to the Dragon Kingdom, so eager for him to become her guard.

Li Yao was actually a bit curious.

Just how capable was the blessing she was so proud of?

"If I lose, I will enter into a marriage contract with you, to be held immediately upon returning to the Sakura Country."

Kujo Mise said confidently.

Cao Cao Bowen was so angry he could have bitten his teeth to pieces.

He had been with her for so long, and she hadn't even given him a pleasant look, yet now, she was repeatedly offering to marry Li Yao?

No, he absolutely could not let such a thing happen!

"Miss Mise, such a matter as marriage should still be decided by the Head of the Family."

"Shut up."

Kujo Mise didn't even glance at him.

"With me bestowing my blessing, do you really think you will lose?"

Li Yao, however, shook his head and refused directly.

"No, this condition has no appeal to me. Change it."

"Also, don't you dare mention that skill book from before; something not even as good as a lizard doesn't deserve to appear in my summon list."

"No appeal?"

Kujo Mise only heard the first sentence.

As arrogant as she was, when had she ever been humiliated like this?

She was instantly trembling with rage.

She immediately took another skill book out of her storage ring.

This skill book overlapped highly with her own abilities, and she really didn't want Li Yao to see it, otherwise, he would be even less willing to become her guard.

Given the current situation, Kujo Mise couldn't consider all that.

"This one—as long as you win, it belongs to you!"

Li Yao glanced at the description, and his eyes lit up instantly.

If you had this, you should have said so earlier!

SS-rank summon, Immortal Thunder Mouse.

A summon that combines control and blessing.

At the same time, Li Yao also realized why she hadn't taken this book out immediately.

Summons all have blessings; wouldn't Kujo Mise's support profession seem cheap?

Li Yao put it into his own storage ring.

"Let the bet begin."

"Hmph!"

Kujo Mise gave a light snort.

Li Yao's actions clearly showed he didn't take her or Cao Cao Bowen seriously.

That was just as well.

Let me show you clearly.

With my blessing, any summoner can easily defeat you!
