Ding~ Your Golden Thigh Has Arrived

"Oh, Li Ya, I'm not as amazing as you say!"

Ya Er waved her hand bashfully, her face slightly flushed.

"I didn't expect Miss Ya Er to be so impressive. You're far better than me!"

Li Si gave Ya Er a thumbs-up as well. The girl's reaction was rather amusing.

"Enough about me!" Ya Er waved her hand and asked Li Si, "Li Si, is there anything else you need to do? I can help you, as long as you treat me to those Golden Silk Shrimp Balls you mentioned last time!"

The moment Ya Er opened her mouth, her true nature as a little foodie was completely exposed.

"I wanted to find an assassin instructor to learn some professional knowledge, but unfortunately, he's out on a mission and isn't at the Guild."

"Huh? Li Si, why do you want to learn assassin skills? Aren't you a mag—"

Before Ya Er could finish her last word, Li Si abruptly clapped a hand over her little mouth. This young lady had nearly exposed his secret.

She really had noticed that he was a mage!

Not wanting to be treated like some weirdo, Li Si decided to find somewhere else to have a proper talk with Ya Er.

"Miss Li Ya, thank you. I just remembered there's an urgent matter at home, so I'll be leaving first!"

Without waiting for Li Ya's response, he dragged Ya Er away in a flash.

"Hey, why wouldn't you let me talk?"

Ya Er complained unhappily after Li Si dragged her into an alley outside the Guild building.

"I don't want anyone else to know I'm a mage yet. You nearly let it slip!"

Li Si replied irritably.

"I didn't know! Why don't you want people to know you're a mage? Aren't mages really powerful?"

Ya Er looked a little embarrassed, then asked curiously.

"Because I have an opponent. I don't want him to know how strong I am. I'm planning to train hard and defeat him in the end."

Li Si intended to casually fool Ya Er. She didn't exactly look like the sharpest tool in the shed.

Although Ya Er felt that something was off, she didn't pay it much mind.

"Then why are you learning assassin knowledge? Will it help make you stronger?"

"Not really. I can't change into an assassin anyway. I just want to casually learn a weapon. Learning from an assassin instructor would let me practice using daggers."

"Then I'll teach you! I know lots of things!"

The moment Ya Er heard that, she perked up. Puffing out her chest, she spoke to Li Si with pride.

Li Si glanced at the racetrack in front of the girl's chest. There was plenty of room for improvement. After thinking it over, he found no problem with it and said, "Sure. What weapons do you know?"

"Do you want to learn the longsword?"

"No, I know a little already."

"What about the spear?"

"No, I know a little of that too."

"A saber?"

"No, I know a little of that as well."

After realizing that Li Si already knew every weapon she knew and did not want to learn any of them, Ya Er fell into deep thought. What else could she teach him? She truly did not know how to use daggers.

From Ya Er's words, Li Si guessed that if she really was a high-level professional, then she was most likely a Gold Warrior.

Thinking of how his Welf had only barely broken through to become a high-level warrior in his forties, Li Si looked at the collagen-rich face of the girl before him and could not help sighing at the huge gap between people.

If Welf found out, he would probably wither for real.

Still, he had not had time to think about it earlier. Ya Er looked only around twenty. Though she was somewhat innocent and romantic, if she had already become a Gold Warrior, then she had to be an extraordinary genius.

She was absolutely the central protagonist of the story, a child of destiny!

I remember the main storyline of the game Divine Revelation.

A warrior professional.

Female.

Only around twenty when the story began.

Hiss~~

Li Si sucked in a breath, doing his part to contribute to global warming in Gaia World.

If she really was the person he had in mind...

Then this was no ordinary thigh to cling to. This was the thigh of an absolute big shot—a "golden thigh"!

Li Si knew there were Magical Items that could alter one's appearance, but...

Looking at the cute way this girl lowered her head in thought, he simply could not connect her with the valiant, decisive, steadfast, and broad-minded Valkyrie who later shone on battlefields filled with tens of thousands.

"I've got it!" Just as Li Si was pondering, Ya Er seemed to think of something and shouted excitedly.

But when she raised her head, she found Li Si staring at her thigh with a strange look. A chill ran through her, and she hurriedly took a step back. "What are you looking at?!"

Li Si, who had been thinking about how to better attach himself to the girl's thigh, came back to his senses and hurriedly replied sheepishly, "Ah, nothing. I was thinking about what tasty food to make for you later. After all, you helped me so much!"

You have to accept the favor I owe you, whether you want to or not!

After all, if he really managed to cling to her thigh, the trouble of the Sacred Festival assassination case would be nothing at all!

"Ah, you're so nice!" Ya Er happily gave Li Si his first good-person card.

Who knew how many he would need to collect before they turned him into a thigh accessory?

"Do you want to learn the whip? I know how to use one too!" Ya Er had not forgotten about their earlier conversation.

"A whip?" Li Si was rather curious.

In the game Divine Revelation, there were many kinds of weapons. However, most people used common weapons like sabers, spears, and swords. Even axes and hammers were comparatively rare, let alone niche weapons like whips.

But regardless, Li Si only needed a new intermediate weapon proficiency to fulfill the requirements for his class specialty. It was not as though he truly intended to fight enemies with a whip.

Just thinking about the future Valkyrie teaching him how to use a whip made him feel rather excited!

"Sure, I'll learn the whip from you!"

"Okay!" Ya Er agreed happily. She had trained in martial skills since childhood, but she had never been anyone's teacher before!

Li Si looked up at the gradually darkening sky. The sun was about to set, so he said to Ya Er, "It's already late today. Let's practice tomorrow. We'll go buy some ingredients, and I'll make you Golden Silk Shrimp Balls today."

"Okay!" Ya Er eagerly agreed. As if afraid Li Si might go back on his word, she pulled him toward the shops at the other end of Ge Duo Street to buy ingredients.

"We need this one! Get more!"

"I like this too, take it!"

"Can you make this too, Li Si? I want to buy some."

After the two of them finished shopping, they had spent more than ten Gold Coins on all sorts of ingredients. Ya Er in particular could not move once she saw something she wanted to eat.

Li Si carried the ingredients as he followed behind Ya Er. They were heading to the place rented by Ya Er's team.

Since her companions were all busy today and there were no suitable commissions, Ya Er had been wandering around the Mercenary Guild alone. That was why she had happened to meet Li Si, who had come to register as a mercenary.

In a sense, it was fate.

Fortunately, although no one in Ya Er's team knew how to cook and they had not prepared any seasonings, they at least had all kinds of kitchen utensils. Li Si would not have to carry an iron pot from the shop through the streets.

"I'm back!"

Ya Er's cheerful voice rang out, and a three-story garden villa appeared before Li Si.

Please, please, please bookmark and keep reading. It's really important for this child.
