Daili Lucas

Chapter 28: Daili Lucas

The few of them got along well and often drank and had fun together, but they had never spoken so formally about "serious business." After all, many things that counted as serious or important matters to ordinary people were no big deal to them.

And if it was something none of them could handle, there was no point in calling him over either!

Lin Lei spoke solemnly. "Brother Yun, I'm planning to head to the Monster Mountain Range for training in a few days."

"And when it comes to Monster Trials, no one I know has more experience than you, Brother Yun. So I'd like you to take me with you next time you go to the Monster Mountain Range."

Fengyun immediately understood. This was precisely the period when Lin Lei, having improved in strength, was preparing to venture into the Monster Mountain Range. And training there truly was a serious matter, an important matter—and exactly what he was best at.

He burst out laughing. "Tch, I thought it was something huge. With our relationship, what's the big deal about me taking you along? You call that serious business?"

"But I believe in fair exchange. I can't take you for free."

"Hmm... Treat me to a big meal as the price for taking you up the mountain. And remember, use your own money!"

Then he laughed again. "Make sure there's plenty of meat. Hahaha! Let's see if I don't eat you bankrupt today!"

After saying that, he used the excuse of going to the restroom to temporarily leave and report the situation to his contact.

Beibei's little eyes were fixed intently on the Light Shadow Blade wrapped in black cloth in Fengyun's hand. He sent a mental message to Lin Lei. "Boss, what's wrapped in that black cloth Brother Yun is holding? I can feel elemental energy gathering around it. Is it magical equipment?"

In the corridor outside the restroom, Fengyun confirmed through their code phrase that the silver-haired, veiled woman before him, who exuded a cold and aloof air, was indeed his new contact. He could not help complaining, "Hey, why wasn't I informed in advance that my contact had been changed? I thought I'd been exposed just now."

"And judging from your outfit, you should be an undercover agent following the Priest path, right? Is it really appropriate for you to be the contact for a warrior like me?"

After speaking, he looked around and, seeing that there was indeed no one nearby, continued, "Besides, isn't a little beauty like you out of place in somewhere like this?"

The silver-haired girl snorted coldly. "Disgusting. Azure Paradise is an entertainment venue, not some filthy place like Rose Garden that specializes in that sort of flesh trade. Even children can come here to have fun."

"As a reserve Priest, it's perfectly reasonable and logical for me to come here with friends."

"Only someone with filthy thoughts would think it's abnormal for a woman to come here for fun."

"As for your old contact..."

"Every time you exchanged intelligence with her, you did it through chatting and flirting. Although it wasn't frequent, you were still seen several times."

"Yet you yourself are not interested in women. Most of your time is spent in the Monster Mountain Range tempering yourself, so few people in the city have had the chance to get acquainted with you. Not many people know you well, and you haven't drawn much attention."

"Otherwise, there might already have been a problem!"

Fengyun raised a brow. "Is it really that serious?"

But after thinking about it, he had devoted all his energy to cultivation in order to break through to the Saint Realm, yet he still loved coming to Azure Paradise to tease the serving girls—and always teased the same one. Given enough time, that really could easily cause problems.

But when he looked at the silver-haired woman, he said helplessly, "Still, I feel like if I keep interacting with such a beautiful young lady as you, problems will arise even more easily."

"Whether externally or internally, problems could arise very easily!"

Honestly, the setting and worldview of the Yulan Continent leaned toward medieval Europe, and its beauty standards generally did not suit his tastes.

Some beautiful women were certainly attractive, but their blonde hair and blue eyes always made him feel that something was missing. That was one reason he had remained uninterested in women until now.

But with a large enough population, there would always be women who suited his tastes. Like the red-haired Huihui he had encountered in the Monster Mountain Range before, or like...

The silver-haired woman before him!

Although she wore a veil, her starlike eyes and delicate, crystalline skin showed that she did not wear it because she was ugly!

And if even Fengyun found her beautiful, then in the eyes of the native inhabitants of this world, this woman's looks were definitely top-tier!

Beautiful women brought disaster. Since ancient times, countless powerhouses and forces had fallen because of them. Having such a beautiful new contact was truly no good thing for an undercover agent like him!

But the silver-haired girl's gaze flickered slightly. "Don't worry. There won't be any problems."

Fengyun glanced at her sideways, the corner of his mouth twitching to show his disbelief. But the arrangement of contacts was decided by the organization, so there was nothing he could do even if he thought it inappropriate.

He obediently reported his general situation to the silver-haired woman. Only after finishing did Fengyun ask in confusion, "We can't keep coming to Azure Paradise to exchange intelligence in the future, can we? Has the organization arranged a new intelligence point?"

The silver-haired girl glanced at him. "I'm not a serving girl here, so naturally it wouldn't be appropriate to exchange intelligence here all the time. Running into each other once or twice is fine, but if we keep running into each other here, even an idiot would see something was wrong."

"The organization has already arranged a new intelligence point for us. This place will serve as a backup. You can also occasionally invite me here for fun in the future, so no one notices anything suspicious about our relationship!"

Fengyun nodded. "Where is the new intelligence point?"

The silver-haired girl replied, "The Special Warfare Camp, where Alchemists study. I'll have quite a few interactions with you in the future because I'll be studying Alchemy."

"That will be our new dedicated intelligence point!"

Fengyun froze at that, thinking, Heh... no wonder they say the most dangerous place is the safest place. They set the intelligence point directly inside the Special Warfare Camp. That's really asking for trouble.

After looking around, Fengyun said directly, "We've been here long enough. Time to go. See you at the Special Warfare Camp next time."

After taking a few steps, he turned back and asked, "Oh, right. I still don't know your name."

"Since we'll be classmates from now on, it wouldn't do for me not even to know your name!"

The silver-haired girl, who had been about to leave, paused. Slightly turning her head, she said, "Daili. Daili Lucas!"

As he watched the lovely figure leave after giving him one lingering look, Fengyun stared at Daili's flowing silver hair and recalled certain childhood memories he had nearly forgotten after focusing so completely on cultivation!

When he returned to the room where Lin Lei and the others were, Fengyun saw the table covered in delicious dishes. Without any ceremony, he grabbed a rack of roasted lamb ribs and tore it in half.

He gave one half to Beibei, who stood on the table with his paws on his hips and chest puffed out, while stuffing the other half directly into his own mouth.
