Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

Chapter 64, Section 63: Can I repay you with my body?

The scene of Domi's battle is still vivid in Mei's mind.

The superb archery skills, powerful necromancy, cheetah-like agility, and almost magical teleportation left her dazzled.

That's right.

When Tuso set fire to the camp, Mei grabbed her clothes and ran outside, ignoring everyone, and witnessed the entire battle from a higher hill behind the camp.

Seeing Domi trapped in the sea of ​​fire made me break out in a cold sweat, but it's good that he got out. Freed from the constraints of the armor, he huffed and puffed as he ran towards Domi, waving and shouting as he went:

"Mr. Death Omen!"

Ok? !

Hearing a voice behind him, Domi immediately put her mask back on. She had wanted to get some fresh air, but that wouldn't work now, so she had to continue playing the role of Death Omen, saying:

"It's Mei. I'm so glad to see you're still alive."

"Thanks to Mr. Death, I was able to save my life!"

In front of her savior, Mei didn't dare to look him in the eye, as if she owed him something, after all, Death Omen had taken such a great risk by himself to save her:

"I really... I'm so grateful to you, I don't know how to repay you..."

She paused for a moment, then stammered on:

"Would it be alright to offer myself to him?"

what?

Ah? ?

Domi felt like he was hallucinating. A girl actually throwing herself at him like that? Maybe he should just learn some chicken neck flirting techniques! All he had to do was max out Strength and Agility, and then he could be the hero and save the damsel in distress!

It's only a matter of time before they start having a harem.

While daydreaming, my eyes unconsciously drift downwards...

Her youthful face flushed with embarrassment, her shy demeanor so pitiful, it was hard not to feel a surge of protective instincts, and one might even think...

In short, is this a storyline he could have developed without paying for it?

Domi remained silent for a long time, and Mei then realized that she had been too direct, so she quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Death Omen! I didn't explain it clearly..."

Then, Mei told Domi about the characteristics of her direct lineage from the Light Shield family. Only then did Domi realize that what Mei meant by "offering herself in return" was not the same as that kind of "offering herself in return," but it was still considered "offering herself in return," since it was included in the concept of "offering herself in return"!

The logic is clear: she simply wanted to repay Domi with the power of cleansing and refining her marrow from her bloodline. As for liking him, it wasn't much; it was more of an admiration.

Knowing this, Domi refused decisively.

To be honest, he didn't come to save Mei or Miguo; his only goals were to build his reputation and accumulate villain points.

After this battle, his villain value reserves increased by 50,000, equivalent to 500 consecutive draws. He made a fortune, so why should he accept another girl's most precious treasure? He felt unworthy of it.

Domi shook his head and said earnestly:

"Mei, there's no need for that. A girl's first time should be reserved for the one she loves. As for repaying, well... I think I've already gotten what I wanted."

Mei stared blankly at the mask on Domi's face. Her clear purple eyes seemed to have a penetrating power, able to see the truth beneath the mask.

Mr. Death Omen... he really, really is gentle.

She's gentle, considerate, and very strong!

She's so much better than that beast Brandon! She used to have a crush on him, and now just thinking about it makes her sick.

At that moment, Domi's words brought Mei back to reality:

"I'll go cut off Tuso's head. The quest should be over by now. Let's get back to town as soon as possible so we can hand it in."

"what?"

He had just taken a step when something suddenly popped into his head, then he forgot about it because it wasn't very clear in his memory, but he still felt that it was quite important...

"What exactly have you forgotten?"

“Mr. Death Omen, what are you looking for? Miss Honey and I can help you look for it.”

"Oh right!" Domi slapped his forehead; he seemed to have forgotten about that little girl, Honey Fruit!

She captured it together with Mei, but we didn't find any honey fruit in the original tent. Could it be...?

Domi looked at the oversized tent that belonged exclusively to the chief, now reduced to ashes, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.

"Gah! Gah!"

Suddenly, a sound like a crow's cry came from above.

Looking up, wow! It really was a huge crow, as long and wide as a helicopter.

Its two bloodstained claws seemed to be clutching something, but before we could see clearly, the crow released its grip, and something resembling a human figure was descending.

Seeing this, Domi summoned Susanoo - Energy-Insufficient Reduced Version.

With only his right arm, he managed to catch her without serious injury. When he put her on the ground, he found that she was actually a sleeping honey fruit!

He looked up at the sky; the large crow from before had vanished, but it had brought him the gift he needed most.

An answer seemed to emerge in my mind.

Now that the honey fruit has been arranged, those who slipped through the net should also be taken care of, right?

A few minutes ago, on the branch.

"Sir," a man in black robes asked, "should we exterminate all the thieves who managed to escape?"

Their squad leader didn't even turn his head, his eyes still fixed on the battlefield, and said calmly:

"Why kill them? Don't you understand the young master's intentions?"

"Young Master isn't the type to be lustful. Why would he risk so much to come back? Did he come to rescue someone? Use your brain; he's definitely trying to increase his adventurer reputation."

"If we kill those survivors, who will spread the fame of the young master... no, the ominous sign?"

"But... why would the young master do this? The title of an adventurer is not as effective as a single word he utters."

"What do you know? This is the foresight of those in power. We can only see two or three steps ahead at most, while a genius like you, young master, has already planned dozens of steps into the future. This is just part of the plan."

"All we have to do is carry out the order and release them."

"Thank you for your guidance, sir. I'll get on it right away!"

Watching the thieves flee into the distance, the officer wore a meaningful expression:

"Young Master Dominic, I've done all I can to help. You absolutely must make a name for yourself. I've placed quite a bet, so don't let me lose too badly..."

After finding the Honey Fruit, they made some rest and set off again. Carrying such a burden, it took them a day and a half to return to the town. They placed the Honey Fruit, whose origins were unknown, in the adventurers' dormitory inside the 'Giant Tree,' with the accommodation fee paid by themselves.

A wealthy woman like her must have this much money.

Domi and Mei then went to the front desk to submit their task.

A huge, blood-stained head was brought to the front, which was quite intimidating to some low-level adventurers.

People around them were talking about them, but Domi thought that most of them were adventurer teams that Mei had served in before.

The front desk staff began processing the payment:

"The original commission was 100 Gold Dragons. Internal team issues do not qualify for the bonus. Due to a misjudgment of the Thieves Gang Leader's strength, I can only offer you a maximum of 5% bonus. Combined with the overall performance bonus of 10%, the total is 115 Gold Dragons. Please confirm."

Chapter 65, Section 64: A Fateful Encounter

"Look, that black-haired one is the one I told you about before, a total burden. If you team up with her, something is bound to go wrong during the mission!"

The other adventurers and mages around them were talking about Mei's arrival.

"Is it really that eerie?"

"I didn't believe it before, until I teamed up with her once..."

"Looks like your former employers have a lot of opinions about you~" Domi teased, not afraid of stirring up trouble.

Mei looked embarrassed.

"Those are all my own problems, so I can't blame them for saying that..."

"You have a good temper. Here, take it."

After saying that, Domi threw the bag containing 115 gold dragons directly to Mei. The coins, engraved with gold dragons, clattered together, producing a melodious sound that represented desire.

"They're all yours."

Mei hurriedly took the bag, exclaiming in shock:

"Huh?! All of it? No, no! This money should all belong to you. I don't want a single penny. I just want... Mr. Death, you can take me on your next commission."

Even a small share would be acceptable!

"I need money, lots of money..."

There's a sense of déjà vu about this, as if Morey was like this back then.

"What? Your mother is sick too?"

Domi was just saying it casually, but to his surprise, Mei stared at him with wide eyes and an incredulous expression:

"How do you know?!"

"It's true..."

These two are incredible; they are different people, yet they have the same experience, and he just happened to run into them both.

Since things had come to this point, Mei decided not to hide it from Domi anymore. The two found a treehouse, and Mei told Domi everything that had happened to her and her family.

"Emm... So, the reason you became an adventurer is ultimately to make money, right?"

Mei bit her lip and nodded.
