Legends of Runeterra

"Cough cough cough~!"

A familiar cough was heard from the snowflakes that were stirred up all over the sky, which made the hunting team members feel relieved.

Caleb jumped up from the ground and rushed directly into the snow.

"Lord Barrett!"

"Ahem~! I'm fine Caleb!"

"Hoo~!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the light snowflakes were blown away by the wind, and everyone could see the scene inside clearly.

Barrett sat down on the ground. Right in front of him, a tall and slender man held up the giant tooth-eating beast's claw with one hand.

"Roar~!"

"Your mouth stinks!"

Li En frowned and twisted the giant toothed beast's claws.

"Click~!"

"Ow~!"

The giant odontosaurus felt pain and bit Li En directly.

"Boom~!"

A violent air current swept through, and when everyone opened their eyes again, the giant tooth-eating beast's neck bent backwards 180 degrees, directly sticking to its broad back.

"Pah pah pah~!"

Li En patted the non-existent dust on his hands, waking up everyone who was in a daze.

Barrett, the most knowledgeable one, reacted immediately.

"Hahaha~! You are truly a warrior who is unmatched by any other warrior. I am Barrett Bouvier. Thank you so much for saving my life. Could you please tell me your name?"

"Just call me Li En."

Li En turned around and smiled, his god-like appearance once again stunned everyone.

"Hahaha~! That's what I'll call you then!"

Barrett's eyes moved back and forth between the giant odontosaurus and Li En, with a hint of excitement on his face that was hard to conceal.

"Li En, if..."

"Caleb!"

A clear call came from a distance, accompanied by a rapid sound of breaking through the snow.

"Huh? Quinn!"

Caleb looked up and saw Quinn, wearing a coat that didn't fit him well, struggling to wade through the snow.

The little face that was exposed had a faint blush on it, and it was obvious that Kui Yin was in very good condition at the moment.

"Great Quinn, you're okay!"

"Caleb!"

Caleb opened his arms to hug his sister, but Quinn walked right past him.

"Master Li En, are you okay?"

Looking at the blood on the ground at Li En's feet, Quinn asked worriedly.

"Ahem! I'm fine. This blood belongs to that tooth-eating beast."

"That's good, Master Li En, thank you for saving Caleb!"

Caleb on the side smiled awkwardly, put down his hands as if he didn't care, and walked to Quinn.

"That...Quinn...Lord Li En..."

"Well, it was Master Li En who saved me, and then he was kind enough to bring me here to rescue you!"

Hearing this, Caleb's face turned serious.

"Master Li En, thank you for saving Quinn!"

"Haha~! It's just a piece of cake. There's no need to do this. Just treat the wound quickly."

"Caleb, sit down quickly, I'll bandage you!"

"Mmm Good!"

Quinn held Caleb down and treated his wounds quickly and carefully.

After Barrett took a look at the hunting team members, he came to Li En.

"Li En, I see you don't have any luggage for camping. If you're willing, how about we go back to Irwindale together and have some drinks?"

"Haha~! Mr. Barrett, I have a mission to accomplish on this trip. Let's meet in Xiongdu!"

"Huh!? You...are from Xiongdu? But I've never heard of a young man as outstanding as you in Xiongdu?"

"I just arrived in Xiongdu a week ago. It's normal that you haven't heard of me."

"Well, if that's the case, then I won't force it.

This giant toothed beast is dead, and I am about to set off to return. Li En, you must remember to..."

"Don't worry, I know where the famous Bouvier family is!"

"Hahaha~! Okay, it's a deal. I'll be waiting for you to come over!"

"Well, it's a deal!"

Looking directly into Barrett's eyes, Li En smiled and nodded.

"Quinn, Caleb, I'll be leaving now. See you next time."

"Master Li En..."

"My lord, please be careful on your journey!"

Quinn interrupted Caleb.

"Well, take care!"

Li En nodded to the two of them and stepped forward.

"Shua~!"

After a few leaps, Li En disappeared from the hunting team's sight.

"Quinn, why are you..."

Quinn's hand was slightly more heavily wrapped in bandages.

"Hi~!"

Caleb took a deep breath and shut his mouth obediently.

...

"Li En, you're back~!"

Smod, who was rolling around happily at the entrance of the cave, came up to Li En the moment he saw him and circled around him excitedly.

Subconsciously, Li En held Smod's little head and rubbed his cheeks like petting a dog.

“Huluhulu~!”

"No, I am the Emperor Dragon, Li En, you can't do this!"

Smod broke free from Li En's hands, straightened his chest and spoke seriously.

"Oh? Really? Then what should I do with all this food? I was planning to give it to a guy who can give me a rub!"

"Click~!"

Smod's little head appeared in Li En's hand and rubbed it actively.

"Ah this..."

Seeing Smodur abandon his pride for food, Li En was speechless for a moment.

"What's wrong, Li En? Am I not good enough? Come here, Mom, Li En likes Emperor Dragon very much, you can too..."

"Boom~!"

Julia, who was not far away, dodged and Smodur's upper body fell directly into the snow.

Facing Li En's gaze, Julia's fair face blushed slightly, and she forced herself to smile.

"Sorry Li En, the child is ignorant and is talking nonsense again!"

"Haha~! It's okay Julia, it's almost time, let's go back and eat."

"Ok."

After pulling Smod out of the snow, he hid beside Li En with a guilty conscience, carefully holding the corner of his clothes.

The three of them, with Li En standing in the middle, and Julia and Smod on the left and right sides, slowly walked into the dragon's nest.

...

"Ta da~! Ta da~!"

Quinn sat in the simple carriage, looking out the window quietly.

The cold wind blowing in from the gap in the door panel could not affect Quinn at all. Wrapped in her coat, she was still warm all over.

I tightened my coat out of habit, feeling the touch of the soft lining rubbing against my skin.

Thinking that this coat was draped on Li En not long ago, Quinn's fair face couldn't help but blush.

"Quinn! Quinn!"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Master Barrett is asking about your encounter with Master Li En!"

"Uh, sorry sir, I..."

"Haha~! It's okay, Quinn, if you're a little tired, let's talk about it after you get back and rest."

"No, sir, I..."

The story of his encounter with Lee En was simple, and Quinn finished telling it quickly.

Of course, Quinn deliberately omitted some embarrassing and unimportant things.

"Hmm...Is that so? It seems that Li En is indeed a good young man~!"

Barrett sighed softly, and the carriage fell silent again.

After a life-and-death struggle, all the personnel were already exhausted.

We walked on for a while.

"Master Barrett...Excuse me...What does Xiongdu look like?"

Facing Quinn's anxious yet expectant gaze, Barrett smiled slightly.

"Xiongdu, that is..."
