Chapter 326: 325 “Just have to be a beast.

Soon, the sky had turned completely dark.

If one were in the Royal Capital, at this hour, various buildings would illuminate with the light of Magic Lamps, and magic lampposts by the sides of the streets would begin to operate, making the entire city bright and without a hint of darkness.

But Jeliteli was not the bustling Royal Capital, where every household still used ordinary oil lamps, and the streets were not extravagantly lit with Magic Lamps, as just the annual replacement of Magic Crystals to provide Magic Power for the Magic Lamps was a significant expense. Therefore, the nights here were very dark–were it not for knights on patrol, people would probably be afraid to walk the streets, right?

This gave Shane a feeling of returning to Lamijion.

The nights in Lamijion were similarly dark and lonely.

From this perspective, the Royal Capital truly deserved to be called the center of the world, where every household could afford a Magic Lamp and did not hesitate to light them every night, showing how wealthy the people of the Royal Capital were.

And in other cities, apart from those capitals of territories where Lords resided, the rest of the cities were probably like this, not placing Magic Lamps on the roadside, leaving their nights devoid of brightness, right?

At this time, probably only some businesses that operated at night would shine with the light of Magic Lamps to attract customers.

Shane and his company had, fortunately, found an inn to stay in before sunset.

Of course, it was Lasha who found the inn, not Shane and Ai Yi.

The maid, while Shane and Ai Yi were frolicking, had disappeared for a while without anyone noticing. Only when Shane and Ai Yi had enough and were preparing to find a place to stay did the maid quietly return and inform Shane that the inn had been found.

Perhaps it was the best inn in Jeliteli?

After all, this inn had a Riding Beast Shed where Tamed Demons could stay–how could an ordinary inn possibly have such a facility?

Thanks to this, You Lin, after Shane had infused it with a large surge of Magic Power, comfortably settled into that Riding Beast Shed without the worry of having to sleep on the streets.

Shane, Ai Yi, and Lasha rented the best room available. The room was designed for Nobility, not only was it quite luxurious, but it was also a suite with several bedrooms inside, comparable to a luxury presidential suite from his former world.

However, staying in such a place for one night was horrifyingly expensive.

An ordinary inn would cost only a few silver coins per night, but this place demanded a whopping ten Gold Coins, which could amount to several years of expenses for an ordinary household.

If it had been before, Shane would definitely not have been able to afford such extravagance.

But now, Shane was quite confident.

Why?

“Because my mount is not the sort of pet that only eats and offers no help to its master.”

As said before, a dragon’s body is a treasure trove.

Not to mention Dragon Teeth and Dragon Claws, even Dragon Blood could be used to craft Top Level Magic Potions.

There was even a Magic Potion Workshop in the Royal Capital that had once approached Shane, hoping to get a few drops of Dragon Tears, and they offered a hundred Gold Coins for it.

The reason being, Dragon Tears were also a material for crafting several Advanced Magic Potions. Previously, they could only make do with Flying Dragon tears, resulting in Magic Potions that weren’t of the highest quality. Now that a real Dragon had appeared, they naturally wanted to acquire this rare material.

Besides, there were several well-known Magic Weapon and Magic Artifact Workshops from the Royal Capital that had approached Shane, hoping to get materials such as Dragon Scales, and even Dragon Saliva.

These were all materials used for the creation of Advanced Magic Weapons and Magic Tools, coveted by many workshops as valuable and hard-to-obtain items.

From that day on, Shane realized that what he was raising was not just a tough and capable dragon but also a deadly money tree.

When Shane had finally come to this realization, Ai Yi had once looked down on him,

“Now you notice? Let’s see if you’d dare to let this treasure roam free somewhere else!”

Ai Yi told Shane that when You Lin had been placed in the Riding Beast Shed of the Northern Royal Capital, there had been some fools who tried to scrape off a few scales from its body, hoping to strike it rich.

Eventually, those people were all completely vaporized by a single breath from You Lin, causing quite a stir.

If it weren’t for the fact that the order to place You Lin came from Luoqi, the people of the Royal Capital dared not neglect their duty, and they even feared Luoqi would blame them for not taking good care of You Lin. Thus, they suppressed the matter, and if word had gotten out, it would have definitely alarmed Shane.

“All right, I admit I hadn’t given it enough thought.”

Shane did reflect on this to some extent.

It was also for this reason that Shane had wanted to find a hotel with a Riding Beast Shed to stay in, not wanting You Lin to be left to sleep on the streets.

Lasha perfectly considered this point and silently solved the problem. It was, as always, impressively solid.

To sum up, the formerly poor Shane suddenly became wealthy because of You Lin.

While in the Royal Capital, Shane had made a substantial income from selling some Dragon Scales, Dragon Tears, Dragon Saliva, and Dragon Blood. After becoming a Viscount and deducting the offerings for the Beizut Family’s expenses and payments to the maids and servants, he still had quite a bit left over. Shane was now not short on money at all.

“If I really need money, I could just go to Luoqi.”

That’s what Shane thought, completely oblivious to the fact that this behavior was tantamount to living off a woman.

Anyway, apart from men, that blessed Princess had everything she needed. Why should Shane be polite?

Well, now she wasn’t short on men either.

Strictly speaking, it was just one, but wasn’t that enough?

At least, Shane felt that he could fully satisfy the Princess’s needs, even making her beg for mercy. (Sarcastic)

And so, Shane and his companions checked into the hotel.

Afterward, in just three minutes, Lasha made their room sparkling clean, without a speck of dust.

Ai Yi went straight into the bedroom without even bathing and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she closed the door.

And then… well, Shane felt lonely.

During his bath, he felt the absence of Tielle.

When it was time to sleep, he felt the absence of Luoqi.

Habit is a scary thing. Without these delightful diversions, Shane suddenly found lying down uncomfortable and sleep restless, even feeling a sense of apathy as if he were a salted fish heading towards decay.

“Have I become unable to live without women?”

Shane started to doubt his life choices.

So it turns out sleeping alone is this uncomfortable, how on earth did I survive the past twenty years?

Day in, day out, practicing the ancestral skills?

Even if I could let it pass before, do I really have to continue honing these skills now?

“No way!”

Shane struggled against the restlessness in his heart and suddenly sat up from the bed.

In the past, he truly believed that no ordinary woman could compare to the hand that had accompanied him for twenty years.

But now, Shane couldn’t think like that anymore.

The reason was simple.

“Is Luoqi an ordinary woman?”

That was the princess of a nation, her beauty unmatched in the world, even the Goddess would bow before her, proclaimed as the most beautiful woman of the Human Race!

To have consumed such a peerless delicacy, skin and bones included, does one even need to recap how delightful the taste was?

And after savoring the flavor of the number one beauty of the Human Race, how could Shane possibly return to the past and continue practicing his ancestral skills?

That would be a sheer regression!

“Could it be, at this point, I have to abandon my bottom line and go out to look for some ‘special’ shops?”

Shane was distressed.

“No way!”

In the end, Shane still held back.

As the saying goes, after tasting the most exquisite flavor in this world, to then sample those things that countless others have tasted, Shane couldn’t get over this barrier within himself.

If it really came to that…

“I’d have to be a beast, Miss Laischa.”

Shane could only offer his most sincere apologies in his heart to a certain lady whose whereabouts were now unknown.

Immediately after, Shane got up and prepared to have a good talk with Lasha.

Yeah, just to talk.

He wouldn’t do anything, right?

While Shane reassured himself with this thought internally, a smile that was indescribable spread across his face as he walked out of the bedroom.

With those steps, Shane suddenly halted.

“Huh?”

Shane narrowed his eyes, and the indescribable smile vanished from his face.

“There are some blind fools coming here?”

After murmuring this, Shane reached out, opened the bedroom door.

“…!”

Almost at the same time, in the suite’s main hall outside the bedroom, several figures immediately reacted, all drawing their weapons, facing Shane.

Those were people dressed in black, with their faces covered, completely obscuring their features.

“Good evening.”

Shane walked out from the bedroom, his face showing not a hint of surprise, only smiling at these figures in black.

The figures in black suddenly fell silent and exchanged looks.

In the next second…

“Go!”

The leader of the group, a black-clad figure with a weathered voice that suggested an elder, gave the command.

The other three figures in black quickly heeded the instruction of the elder and dashed towards the direction of the windows.

Unfortunately…

“Granting*Fixed.”

As this command was voiced, magic power transmitted through the ground.

Just as the four figures in black tried to jump out the windows, their feet were glued solidly to the ground, unable to lift at all.

This made the pupils of the figures in black constrict simultaneously.

Shane, without moving, spoke leisurely.

“Since you’ve come all this way, why not have a nice chat with me first?”

Shane’s voice was filled with laughter, clearly intending not to let these four go.

The four figures in black immediately looked at each other, seeing the resoluteness in each other’s eyes.

Then, something Shane never expected happened.

“Ptui!”

The leading figure in black aimed his weapon straight into his own chest and plunged it in without hesitation.

Blood splattered instantly.

“Ptui!” “Ptui!” “Ptui!”

The other three figures in black also pierced their bodies with their weapons without a second thought, committing suicide on the spot.
