Chapter 79

"Luo En, long time no see." Princess Yi Fu's voice was much lighter: "Didn't expect to meet you here."

"Princess Yi Fu, congratulations on winning the duel." Luo En was slightly surprised, but still sincerely congratulated: "Your leopard-woman's strength is amazing."

This scene immediately caused a burst of surprised and envious whispers among the apprentices around.

"Isn't that"

"Luo En? Is that the..."

"Lady Ailan's new assistant! I've seen him in the herb shop..."

"Princess Yi Fu actually knows him, no wonder her leopard-woman is so strong, she must have used a special advanced potion!"

"Oh my god, look at Cynthia's expression, she's about to kill someone..."

Princess Yi Fu's easy victory and her familiarity with Luo En undoubtedly raised her status in everyone's eyes.

Those eyes that might have been carrying a bit of scrutiny also became respectful at this moment.

Cynthia stood in the distance, her eyes full of jealousy and anger.

She stared at the leopard-woman beside Princess Yi Fu, her eyes gloomy.

"Princess Yi Fu's leopard-woman must have used advanced potions, and not the ordinary kind" she speculated in her heart:

"Ordinary potions would definitely not have such an effect. Where did she get such high-quality potions?"

She frowned, her gaze turned to Luo En who was talking to Princess Yi Fu, and a trace of unpleasant speculation surged in her heart.

"That old witch Ailan's student" Cynthia narrowed her eyes: "Perhaps this is the secret of Princess Yi Fu's sudden rise?"

"What a coincidence." On the other side, Princess Yi Fu said to Luo En with a smile: "I was planning to find you in a few days to commission the next batch of potions, didn't expect to meet you here."

She gently stroked the leopard-woman's shoulder, her eyes carrying obvious pride:

"The effect of the bloodline activator you helped me refine last time was very good. Li Yue's combat power increased by at least 30%, and the recovery ability in battle and the inhibitory effect on pain were especially obvious."

Luo En smiled slightly when he heard this, feeling relieved in his heart, but then felt a bit embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Princess Yi Fu, I'm afraid I can't formulate potions for you in the short term."

Princess Yi Fu was a bit anxious when she heard this and inquired: "What's wrong? Did you encounter any trouble? If there is anything I can help you with..."

"Uh, don't worry, actually I need to prepare for the potion master certification assessment recently," Luo En had to explain slightly:

"Need to spend a lot of time preparing and practicing, might not have the energy to take new orders."

"Potion master certification?" The brown-haired girl's eyes widened a bit, but soon returned to normal, and a trace of admiration flashed in her eyes:

"That's right, with your potion technology, applying for certification is a matter of course. At such a level, among us apprentices, I'm afraid it's already an absolute leader."

The two stood around the square, chatting freely as if no one else was around.

For most mediocre primary apprentices, a genius in the probationary wizard sequence taking the initiative to talk to them is already a great honor.

And the near-equal communication style between Luo En and Princess Yi Fu made many apprentices envious.

"When is the assessment scheduled?" Princess Yi Fu asked with concern.

"A week later." Luo En answered: "I'm planning to purchase some materials and practice the formulas that might be involved in the assessment in advance."

"I can understand." Princess Yi Fu nodded: "Speaking of which, if it weren't for the special potions you provided today, my Li Yue really wouldn't be the opponent of that half-orc."

She looked at the half-orc dying on the ground, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes:

"That berserk crystal is a contraband, but this kind of thing is too common among sequence members, no one will accuse it."

Cynthia in the distance had been left out for a long time, her face twisted to the extreme.

She not only lost the duel but was also completely ignored by the winner, which was a great humiliation to her who had always been proud.

"Cynthia, this woman, has been working hard to accumulate points and resources since entering the probationary wizard sequence."

Princess Yi Fu added in a low voice in Luo En's ear:

"But her actual performance has always been not very good. If it weren't for Mentor Ma Sha La's support, her ranking might be even lower. This time, I guess she saw that I just joined the sequence and treated me as a soft persimmon. If it weren't for the potion resource support you provided, I would have been in danger this time."

Just as Cynthia was about to break out, a figure quietly appeared behind her.

"Cynthia." A low and calm voice sounded in her ear: "I don't suggest you break out now."

Cynthia turned her head and saw Oliver standing there, with his usual perfect smile on his face.

His eyes were gentle but carried unquestionable majesty, making Cynthia's impending anger cool down a bit.

"Get out of here! Oliver." She said in a low voice, her tone filled with extreme resentment:

"I lost an important combat slave and was humiliated by that humble hunter's daughter!"

"Temporary setbacks are not worth worrying about." Oliver said softly, his eyes glancing at Luo En in the distance without a trace:

"Besides, I have more important things to discuss with you."

He whispered a few words in Cynthia's ear, and Cynthia's expression changed from anger to shock, and finally to a kind of morbid excitement.

"It's really hard for me to believe." She whispered: "You really have decided..."

"Of course." Oliver nodded: "But now is not the time, let's go back and talk slowly."

He turned and left, Cynthia hesitated for a moment, then glared fiercely at Princess Yi Fu, and followed Oliver's footsteps.

Luo En noticed this scene, and the alarm bell in his heart rang loudly.

And after the two left, he noticed two servants appearing quietly, skillfully putting a large sack on the half-orc who was already dying, and then dragged it away nimbly.

No one stood out to stop the whole process, and even the apprentices watching around didn't look at that direction more, as if this was the most normal thing.

"What will happen to this half-orc warrior?" Luo En looked at Noris beside him without changing his expression.

Noris put the witness money into his pocket, and when he heard this, he just shrugged:

"Defeated slave? Usually there will be no good end. If the injury is light, perhaps it will be sold; if the injury is serious like this half-orc, it will probably be sent to the school's resource recycling center."

"What is the resource recycling center?" Luo En already had a guess in his heart.

"It is to extract the parts that still have utilization value from them, and finally the magic stone fragments exchanged will be divided into half for Cynthia, the owner."

Noris's tone was exceptionally calm, as if talking about the weather:

"The half-orc's skin is very tough, and the heart and other internal organs are also good potion materials. As for the bones—they can be ground into powder and used for various rituals."

Luo En nodded and didn't ask any more.

The rules here are so cruel. For him, this can no longer be considered news.

After Noris left, Luo En cast a scrutinizing gaze at the leopard-woman Li Yue.

After the effect of the bloodline stimulation potion gradually faded, the various abnormalities she stimulated seemed to have returned to normal, but that innate elegance and danger still existed.

"Your leopard-woman is truly impressive..."

He praised sincerely, his gaze lingering on Li Yue's elegant and dangerous body:

"Although I have refined quite a few bloodline stimulation potions, I have never seen such a pure stimulation effect."

Princess Yi Fu raised one eyebrow when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

The distance she usually kept deliberately seemed to have melted away a bit. She gently stroked Li Yue's shoulder, a trace of softness that was rarely shown in her eyes.

"Li Yue is indeed... very special." She lowered her voice, her tone carrying a sense of pride she didn't realize:

"I usually don't reveal these to others."

She paused, seemingly weighing her words: "But considering our... relationship as fellow countrymen and partners, I think you are qualified to know these."
