Chapter 4 Part 3: The Witch's Blessing
With her thoughts running wild, Anna couldn't sleep that night.
So she overslept the next day.
"What's wrong with Sister Anna?"
Seeing her still lying in bed, Ellie and Amy looked worried.
Anna was still asleep.
The two had already risen.
"Shh probably overthinking too much. Let her rest. You two stay here and watch her I'll go buy breakfast."
As Lu Fei spoke, he gently brushed a lock from her forehead and kissed her brow.
Then, thinking a moment, he couldn't help but gently touch her soft lips.
Amy and Ellie covered their mouths, blushing as they watched.
So bold!
Brother Lu Fei actually stole a kiss from Sister Anna!
"I'm counting on you two. I'm heading out!"
Lu Fei gave them a gentle smile and left.
Ellie and Amy exchanged glances, their hearts pounding.
"Amy, Brother Lu Fei is so gentle. He must really like Sister Anna."
Ellie chewed a finger, eyes complicated.
"Yes, I saw it too."
Amy recalled waking and seeing them being intimate her cheeks burned hot.
"Amy… will we be that close with Brother Lu Fei too?"
"Ah? Y-you girl, what are you saying?"
"Isn't it so? Human males like to, um, 'eat' our elf women, right? If we're staying, don't we have to please Brother Lu Fei?"
"You brat, where do you learn such things? Don't talk nonsense. Brother Lu Fei he likes Sister Anna. Don't entertain strange thoughts. And what's this about eating? We're not elemental elves."
As Amy spoke, her cheeks grew even redder.
"But…"
Ellie wanted to continue, but Amy covered her mouth.
"Shh, no more."
"Ellie our mate must like us, too."
"If he doesn't like us and we don't like him, we can't perform the sacred kiss. Mother said so."
"I know…"
Ellie nodded vigorously but a strange light flickered in her blue eyes.
Anna, feigning sleep, heard the two girls' words and smiled faintly.
It seemed Xiao Fei was quite popular with girls.
When Lu Fei kissed her, she had actually woken.
Honestly, her feelings were complicated now.
She didn't know how to face Lu Fei's feelings.
Once she understood her man-attracting trait, she knew how much trouble it would bring.
After all, men would all want her.
This way, wouldn't it bring danger to Lu Fei?
Moreover
Did Xiao Fei genuinely love her?
Or was it merely the trait acting?
If Lu Fei heard her doubts, he would surely press her into his arms and kiss her deeply.
Even if the trait existed, Lu Fei didn't believe his feelings were fake.
His heart to protect her with his life would never change.
And besides
Was he afraid of men who set their sights on Anna?
He'd blow them up one by one.
Not even a Sword Saint fazed him.
…
Elsewhere, Lu Fei was stopped by an old man who called himself Lawls.
He said he was the leader of the Justice Adventurer Group and sincerely invited Lu Fei to join.
To that end, he told Lu Fei all about the Wick group's tyranny.
But Lu Fei refused.
Justice Adventurer Group? Why not call yourselves the Avengers? Or the Justice League?
Lu Fei had no intention of working under anyone else. Form his own team, take Sister Anna and the two elven beauties, and eat the full mission rewards much better.
After buying breakfast, Lu Fei returned.
Anna was already up.
Lu Fei's eyes turned, and he went up to hug her again.
Anna shot him a reproachful look.
Amy's eyes grew complicated.
Ellie was envious.
After seeing Lu Fei's strength, the two elven beauties each had their own thoughts.
Of course
Nothing bad.
Not a bad thought.
After breakfast, Anna waved a small hand and announced departure.
At the adventurers' guild, she was surprised to find that there were no low-level missions left.
As soon as commissions were posted, someone snatched them.
But this didn't affect Anna's plans.
Because she wanted to take a level-4 magical beast subjugation!
Seeing Anna pick up a level-4 subjugation and turn to leave Wick's people were immediately stunned.
Because of Boss Wick's orders, they had arrived at the guild early and even beaten up Lawls' Justice group.
All just to keep Anna, a level-3 adventurer, from taking low-level commissions.
Eventually, Anna would have to choose to join Wick's group.
After all, that was how they had themselves been tricked into joining.
But now
She took a high-level commission directly, which they didn't dare take Wick's scheme died before birth.
One had to know
Adventurers' guild commissions couldn't be taken indiscriminately.
If you accepted but couldn't complete it, you had to pay a cancellation fee.
Low-level missions: 10 gold.
High-level missions: 100 gold per cancellation.
This rule existed to prevent suicidal fools from taking missions beyond their abilities.
Hearing the news, Wick was speechless.
"No way! Anna that top-tier beauty is only a level-3 adventurer, right?"
"Leading three level-1 newbies to subjugate a level-4 magical beast?"
"Looking to die?"
Even if she didn't want to join his group, she didn't need to throw her life away.
Or did she have some other trump card?
"Boss Wick, what now? Should we send someone to follow them?"
The underling who had failed looked at Wick anxiously.
"No need. If she wants to die, let her. I suspect that old man Lawls is ruining my plan. Give the order watch them closely."
"Have the spies work harder. Find out their team's strength. Lane City only needs our Wick Adventurer Group!"
He meant to swallow the Justice group.
The underling shuddered and ran to relay orders.
"Hmph, that old man Lawls always opposing me. You're dead this time."
Sitting in the big chair, Wick grinned evilly.
…
Meanwhile
Anna and Lu Fei had led Amy and Ellie out of Lane City.
Lu Fei drove the carriage toward a place where level-4 magical beasts appeared.
Not far
The level-4 beast, the Tiger-Head Hammer Bull, often appeared in open mountain spaces nearby, liked to nap
It had a strong territorial instinct
Would eliminate all creatures that intruded.
It usually ate once and could go a week then lay around sleeping.
The Tiger-Head Hammer Bull a beast with a bull's head, a tiger's body, and a tail tipped with a hard, spiked ball hammer.
It was powerful.
An ordinary level-3 adventurer, even armored, would be smashed by one tail strike bleeding from seven orifices and dying instantly.
Level 4 had it slightly better.
After all, the Tiger-Head Hammer Bull was only level 4.
But the key was that it had built-in armor.
Without blacksteel weapons, one could not break the armor of the Tiger-Head Hammer Bull.
Without a powerful adventurer leading, ordinary level-4 adventurers didn't dare provoke it.
"Let's form the party now. After the subjugation, when we submit the mission at the guild, we can all collect rewards. As for the money, we split evenly."
