I'm at Level 30, But I Can Slay Level-9999 Beasts in One Hit!-Chapter 413: Hatred to the Bone

It’s inevitable that I would be seen as a freak by the humans around, maybe even instilling fear in their hearts.

After all, there’s an old saying among humans, "Those who are not of our kind have minds that differ from ours!"

"Oh, you mean my appearance? Here’s the thing, I feel that there’s little hope of finding him if I continue to stay in the rivers and seas, so I’ve decided to pack my bags and go home."

That’s what Mo Lian said.

But her expression was utterly dejected.

Ye Xuan’s face suddenly turned very serious.

He looked around.

Then immediately raised his hand to close the door of Master Mo Lian’s shop.

"Did someone from the authorities come looking for you?"

Mo Lian dared not answer.

She just nodded gently.

Ye Xuan sighed, then asked again, "Do you have a quiet place here? I have something important to tell you."

After hesitating for a while, Mo Lian led Ye Xuan into the basement of her home.

Ye Xuan only took a quick look around, but he was shocked by the equipment in the basement.

Tarot cards used for divination, bottles and jars commonly used in Alchemy, historical books about the regions of the Great Xia.

Even, Ye Xuan saw shadows of Necromancy.

In the lengthy lifespan of an elf.

The things that Master Mo Lian taught herself were definitely not limited to divination.

"It’s a bit messy here, find a spot to sit wherever you like, I don’t have much to offer you by way of hospitality," said Mo Lian with her head lowered, politely uttering a few words.

Then she lay tiredly on the table, waiting for Ye Xuan to speak.

Ye Xuan stood still and softly spoke a few words.

"I found... the Divine Fruit..."

With a whoosh.

Master Mo Lian, who had just sat down, immediately stood up.

She rushed to Ye Xuan’s side, her expression was even more excited than someone who had won a big prize.

But very quickly, that surprise was dissipated by concern.

Because Ye Xuan said he found the Divine Fruit, but he did not say he found Yzaziel.

"Can I... take a look at it..."

Mo Lian cautiously asked Ye Xuan.

But Ye Xuan simply placed the golden fruit in Master Mo Lian’s hand.

"I came here this time intending to hand this over to you."

Mo Lian looked at Ye Xuan, her face filled with astonishment.

"No, Ye Xuan, this item is too valuable, I can’t accept it!"

She hastily refused.

But Ye Xuan said: "Take a closer look, this thing isn’t as mythical as the legends suggest, I suspect even the name of the fruit has been hyped up, in fact, it’s nothing more than something similar to a Class Change Book."

Hearing what Ye Xuan said.

Master Mo Lian also activated her appraisal skills and began observing the Divine Fruit in her hand.

Although she didn’t examine it as thoroughly as Ye Xuan.

The effects and the long string of remarks were all taken in by her eyes.

"So that’s how it is... I knew it..."

Mo Lian pressed the [Divine Fruit] tightly against her chest.

Then she crouched on the ground, crying inconsolably.

"I knew he wasn’t like that! The one at fault is the King, even, all the people of Avalon are accomplices!"

In Master Mo Lian’s eyes, a fierce bitterness surfaced.

Although Ye Xuan hadn’t been in contact with her for a long time.

But he also knew.

For someone to reveal such a terrifying expression.

There must be hatred deep in her heart.

A little while later.

Master Mo Lian finally regained his usual composure.

"Sorry about that, making you see a joke of me."

Master Mo Lian rubbed the slightly reddened corners of his eyes.

Apologizing to Ye Xuan incessantly.

"It’s okay, but... if you leave, how am I supposed to make higher-level Magic Wands in Jianghai? After all, craftsmen as skilled as you are really rare."

Ye Xuan revealed a slightly regretful expression.

Master Mo Lian, however, let out a light chuckle.

"Silly kid, I saw the announcement yesterday. You and that girl named He Yalan actually cleared a dungeon of hell-level difficulty.

Not just in Jianghai, I bet even Jingang over there is buzzing with rumors about you guys. By then, it will be the skilled craftsmen coming to find you, no need for you to worry about this."

Ye Xuan scratched his head.

He asked somewhat puzzled: "Is clearing a higher-level difficulty really that influential?"

Mo Lian replied with a light laughter: "Silly kid, in your eyes, it might just be a slightly more difficult dungeon, but to the general public, particularly to life professionals like us with no combat skills,

you guys are like two unarmed kids subduing a fully armed adult. The miracle of the weak overcoming the strong will naturally become the talk of the town over meals..."

Ye Xuan immediately understood what it was all about.

Clearing a hell-level difficulty might not be such a big deal in the eyes of higher-level professionals.

At most, they would comment on the person’s good luck or that their team had a reasonable combination.

But it’s certainly not something that would happen in a beginner’s village like White Cloud City.

Hence, the ordinary folks were so sensitive to last night’s announcement.

...

Let’s rewind the time back to when Ye Xuan had just emerged from the hell-level difficulty dungeon.

At this moment, Ke Feng had already returned to her family home in Jingang.

Knock knock knock.

Three urgent knocks echoed in the night at Fu’an Apartment.

"Who is it! Who’s there at this late hour!"

A strong voice of complaint came from inside the house.

Soon after, Ke Wei, Ke Feng’s father, opened the door, only to see his daughter looking travel-worn.

"Xiao Lan? How come you’re back? I heard you went to work as the head of the trading post in White Cloud City, didn’t you?"

Ke Feng responded rather evasively.

"Well... kind of, I’ve been quite free lately, so I was given some time off..."

"Time off? I reckon you got canned! You, girl, are as lazy as a pig in daily life, just a bit brainy. I really don’t know what those officials saw in you."

Ke Feng’s face immediately turned awkward.

"Ah, Dad, let’s talk inside, let’s go in!"

Her being a government official wasn’t a secret.

But Ke Feng didn’t want her neighbors to overhear her father’s disparaging remarks about her.

After all, she was someone who cared about her face.

Returning to her long-missed home,

Ke Feng rarely seemed to relax.

She reverted to her usual lazy demeanor.

Ke Wei turned around and went into the kitchen, bringing out two cups of steaming coffee.

Seeing his daughter like this,

he was also annoyed.

"You, as soon as you’re back home, look at this state of yours. What if your colleagues see you like this!"

Ke Feng replied with squinted eyes: "Dad, don’t worry, I’m like this at work, too."

"Sigh..."

Ke Wei let out a deep sigh and then muttered softly: "Just like your mother, exactly the same..."

Ke Feng’s gaze shifted slightly, clearly having heard Ke Wei’s muttering.

But, both of them fell silent.
