Chapter 339: Lotton’s Choice, the Seventh Member (2/2)

“You really won’t learn it?”

“I won’t!”

“Really?”

Rui’s gaze strayed onto the figure of the Dark Queen Mermaid beside Stingham.

“Teacher Rui, what are you looking at? Could it be that you also have plans in store for her?!” Stingham cried out in an inconsolable manner.

Rui shook his head as he spoke in an even more persuasive tone than before, “Do you wish for your girlfriend to become prettier, and able to speak?”

“What?!”

Stingham abruptly stiffened as a bright golden light appeared in his eyes, “You can make my girlfriend prettier and able to speak?”

“Of course,” Rui nodded.

“Tell me what your methods are! As long as I can confirm that you are not tricking me, I will immediately start training!” Stingham shouted as he enthusiastically grabbed Rui’s hands.

Rui emotionlessly looked back at Stingham as he replied, “The Fruit of the Goddess of Wisdom. This fruit allows higher level creatures like her to undergo a complete transformation. Not only will she gain the ability to speak, her fish-tail will also be able to transform into a pair of legs as well. As long she is willing to… for you.”

“The Fruit of the Goddess of Wisdom?” Stingham turned and looked at Liszt, Ciaran, and the others for confirmation, “Teacher Liszt, Teacher Ciaran, respectable teachers. Is Teacher Rui speaking the truth?”

“Of course he is,” Ciaran smiled as she nodded in response.

“I know where the Fruit of the Goddess of Wisdom grows.” Rui looked Stingham in the eye as he confidently said, “As long as you manage to master Ashur’s Invulnerable Golden Body, I promise you that I will bring you there and help you procure a fruit.”

“Deal! I’ll immediately start training!” Stingham’s expression became as bright as the sun as he excitedly grabbed the Dark Queen Mermaid’s hands and exclaimed, “My dear girlfriend, we have hopes! In the future, when we obtain the Fruit of the Goddess of Wisdom, you will no longer have to wear that thick and heavy robe anymore! You will be able to wear short skirts!”

Loud thumps rang out around Stingham as Ayrin, Moss, and the others all abruptly collapsed to the ground.

All this discussion, and what moved Stingham the most was the thought of being able to see his girlfriend in a sensual short skirt!

“Stingham, since she is your girlfriend now, shouldn’t she have her own name?” Ayrin abruptly asked at this moment. “You can’t just call her by your girlfriend forever.”

“Didn’t Teacher Liszt once say that high level dragons and creatures all have very strong egos and don’t like other people giving them random names? I was thinking to ask her what her name is once she can talk. To just give her a name is disrespectful to her,” Stingham replied in a honorable manner.

“This fellow treats his girlfriend rather well…” Rinloran, Moss, and the others muttered under their breath.

“We have almost arrived.”

Liszt nodded towards the fog-shrouded swampy forest before them as he said, “You guys head on over first and meet up with the tournament organizers. I’ll be right over once I finish dealing with some matters.”

“What matters? Are there still enemies around?” Ayrin asked as he suddenly became alert.

“Don’t worry, there are no enemies around. It’s just some personal matters. After all, everything must have a conclusion,” Liszt responded as he stretched his waist.

A look of understanding emerged atop the faces of Ayrin and the others as they took their leave.

Liszt motionlessly watched Ayrin and the others enter the fog-shrouded forest. Afterwards, he slowly turned around. His gaze fixated on a tall patch of weeds not too far from him.

A figure slowly emerged from within the weeds.

“Lotton, can you tell me why you have been following us?” Liszt asked in a solemn manner.

“To help. To protect,” Lotton replied.

Liszt’s expression remained unmoving as he asked, “Why?”

“Bloodline… it gave me the confidence to defeat Dias’ group and other stronger Evil Dragon Followers,” Lotton slowly answered.

“It seems like you know quite a bit. To think that you have already seen through it.” Liszt smiled as he continued, “Since it is like this, I will not interfere with your actions. That’s what you’ve been fighting for this whole time right? The ability to dictate your own actions, the sense of freedom.”

“Thank you.” Lotton’s voice was quiet but contained great sincerity.

“However, in this coming round of competition, it is best if you don’t interfere. Although we see you as part of their team already, you are not an official member of Holy Dawn Academy.” Liszt observed Lotton as he added, “After all, this is just another session of special training for them.”

“I understand. I will remain out here.” At this moment, Lotton no longer looked like the God of Death who had shocked the national tournament, but an obedient child.

“This new Holy Dawn Evil Six will definitely surpass us old fellows.” Liszt turned around and sighed as strode towards the fog-shrouded forest and quietly added under his breath, “Because this new Holy Dawn Evil Six is actually a team of seven which contains a powerful fellow like you off in the shadows, constantly watching and guarding them.”

Behind him, Lotton’s figure gradually faded into the white fog once more.
