Chapter 514: Adventuring with a adamantite-ranked fiancée

~6 min read 1,170 words

"Adventurer companion, such a small child?"

Facing Shengzai's answer, Lakyus showed a look of suspicion.

"Don't think she's just a child because she looks young on the outside; her strength is actually very strong.

Just like Evileye in your Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei, although she looks like a small loli, she is the strongest among you, right?"

Because Shengzai's character was impeccable, and as the Third Prince, he indeed had no bad records before, Lakyus was almost about to accept Shengzai's explanation, but the words Kang Jinlong said in the next second still made Lakyus unable to hold back!

"My Lord, are we not leaving yet? Why keep explaining so much to this woman? She's nothing special; I could..."

Before Kang Jinlong could finish her words, her mouth had already been covered by Shengzai.

However, even though he covered the dragon loli's mouth in time, Shengzai soon felt the thick murderous intent coming from behind.

"Shengzai! If I heard correctly, she just called you Master..."

Lakyus, whose anger had exploded, could no longer maintain her so-called ladylike posture, and stepped forward to grab Shengzai by the collar, asking what on earth was going on!

"Lakyus, I said it's all a misunderstanding. She really is a member of our adventurer team, and we are going out this time to complete a commission.

As for why this guy calls me Master, you can understand it as her verbal tic, because I have also told her many times not to call me that!"

As Shengzai spoke, he glared at Kang Jinlong, who was currently covering her mouth with her hand.

"My Lord, I'm sorry... I forgot to call you Shengzai Da... Mr. Shengzai."

Seeing Kang Jinlong looking so unintelligent, Lakyus finally chose to believe Shengzai.

But soon, she was attracted by the topic Shengzai had just mentioned.

Besides being the Third Prince of the Kingdom, Shengzai was also a mithril-ranked adventurer, "Lord Xiuluo." Lakyus knew this.

After all, Shengzai's adventurer identity was something he had Renner entrust her to register.

Registering as an adventurer with a royal identity is ultimately inconvenient, so they used the connections of the adamantite-ranked adventurer team "Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei" to go through the back door.

Lakyus and Renner both knew that besides his daily sword practice, Shengzai would occasionally accept guild commissions to go out and hone himself.

Lakyus had actually suggested that Shengzai join her "Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei," but Shengzai refused on the grounds that their team was mostly female members, which would be inconvenient.

As an engaged couple, Shengzai and she saw little of each other due to their respective identities, so hearing that Shengzai was going out to adventure, Lakyus immediately suggested that she wanted to go along.

"Why? Are you unwilling to adventure with me? Or is it that... your relationship with this child is really not as simple as you said!

Saying you're going to complete a commission, but actually wanting to do something unspeakable behind others' backs!"

Looking at his fiancée's sharp eyes, Shengzai suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.

They did indeed accept a commission from the Adventurer's Guild this time, but the commission was only secondary. Besides that, they had other things to do, but the so-called unspeakable things were definitely not what Lakyus thought.

"No, no, no, Lakyus, you're really overthinking it. I just think that since "Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei" has finally returned to the Royal Capital, you should take a good rest.

And we are just on a mithril-ranked commission; wouldn't it be a bit of a waste of talent for you, an adamantite-ranked team, to act with us?

Renner told me earlier that she hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you, so why don't..."

Before Shengzai could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lakyus in front of him.

"It won't be too late to see Renner after we return from completing the commission.

Although your strength, Shengzai, is already at the level of an adamantite-ranked adventurer, because you have stayed in the Royal Capital for years, your experience as an adventurer is far from enough.

This time, let me, an adamantite-ranked adventurer, go with you. Wouldn't it be perfect to teach you some adventurer experience?"

"As for whether the others in my team will mind..."

Lakyus turned her head to look at the ninja girl behind her and asked: "Tina, what do you think?"

"Ghost Leader, you are the team leader, so it's naturally up to you. However, compared to resting in a place like the Royal Capital, I prefer adventuring. I believe Gagaran and the others are about the same."

Hearing Tina's words, Lakyus smiled brightly and said: "That's right, compared to being a noble in the Royal Capital, I prefer being an adventurer.

Then it's decided! Tina, go notify Gagaran and the others. I'm going home to change my equipment. We will meet at the palace gate in an hour."

Watching Lakyus and Tina leave one after another, Shengzai felt completely numb.

What do you mean it's decided? What about his opinion? Was it just ignored like that?

"My Lord... Shengzai, should we leave first?"

Hearing Kang Jinlong's inquiry, Shengzai covered his face with his hand, pondered for a moment, and finally sighed: "Forget it, let's act with "Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei" this time.

If I ditch Lakyus here, she will kill me next time we meet."

"With me here, I won't let her hurt my Lord, and her strength is so weak that she couldn't possibly be my Lord's opponent."

"It's not a question of whether she's strong or not, but... forget it. In short, just remember not to show off strength that is too shocking in front of them.

Without my order, keep your strength at about level 50... no, about level 35."

Although it was an engagement forced by his elders, Shengzai still had quite a good impression of Lakyus.

Unlike other Kingdom nobles, Lakyus herself not having the bad habits and arrogance of a noble young lady is one aspect.

On the other hand, Lakyus really cares about Shengzai.

It's not hard to see from her previous performance that compared to the restrictive noble life, what Lakyus prefers and yearns for is the life of an adventurer.

But such a Lakyus, upon hearing that he had fainted due to cultivation, abandoned her commission without hesitation and came to the Royal Capital to visit him.

And because she was worried that Shengzai would be gossiped about, or that people would think the Third Prince's fiancée lacked noble etiquette, Lakyus didn't even wear the adventurer equipment she couldn't bear to take off when entering the palace.

In Shengzai's view, "Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei" is also an important combat force for the Kingdom. He had previously tested the "Evolutionary Power" on Nigen, thinking about whether he could use this power to strengthen Lakyus and the others.

After all, compared to outsiders, Shengzai clearly feels that his childhood sweetheart fiancée is more reliable.
