Chapter 19: Young Girl Xinran (2/2)

I tried to answer, but couldn't voice any words. My Satiety was too low, but whatever. Starving to death and dropping a level was no big deal. I'd just use a few hours to grind it back.

”You…” The little loli looked at me and suddenly revealed an angelic smile. ”Big brother, are you hungry?”

My head bobbed up and down.

The little loli hastily lifted her long skirt, revealing a pair of smooth, wet thighs. When my eyes were about to turn green, she took out a piece of bread and shoved it before me. She said with a smile, ”Here, this is my mother's baking, Oat Bread. It tastes really good, you can have it!”

I was ashamed of my previous thoughts and quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed the bread!

Oat Bread (Quality 100): Rank 1 Consumable. Immediately restores 75 points of Satiety.

This is some good stuff!

I hurriedly stuffed the bread in my mouth. Even though it was moist, it still carried the scent of a young girl. They said that there was a kind of tea leaves that was immediately placed on a young girl's chest to dry after it was harvested. Widely spread in Anhui, the tea leaves were called... x.x.x (f.u.c.k! I forgot their name). But this Oat Bread was pretty much the same, its flavor immensely delightful.

A large part of my vigor was instantly restored. This bread was a low-level commodity, but since my level wasn't all that high either, it replenished a substantial amount of my vigor!

Full of energy, I turned around and smiled at the little loli. ”What's your name, little girl?”

”I'm Xinran!” she said in a sweet voice.

To be honest, I didn't need to ask because I could already see the words floating above her head: Young Girl Xinran LV-15. This had to be a pure and harmless little girl if she helped a Night Creature like me, who would normally be put to death by humans.

”Xinran, why are you here? Night Creatures often roam this place. What if something bad happened?”

Xinran blinked. ”Mother can't see anymore and shamans in the village said that freshly-springed mushrooms born from the rain can cure her eyes, so I…”

”Oh I see. Will you come here every day from now on?”

”Mn!”

I exposed a smile and slightly moved away from Xinran, afraid that she would be frightened by my face. ”Xinran, I can come here everyday for you. Can you give me a piece of bread every time we meet?”

Xingran nodded, ”Okay, big brother. Do you like mother's bread?”

”Mn, mn!”

”Hehe, I got it!”

I was a bit speechless. This silly girl, she didn't want anything in return?

When I thought about that, I took out a silver coin from my bag. With a flick of my hand, the silver drew a graceful arc and landed in Xinran's basket.

”Take this back to buy some flour. I can't eat for free.”

”Mn, okay. Then I'll be heading back now. Mother will worry.”

”Okay!”

Like a beautiful b.u.t.terfly, Xinran skipped across the gra.s.s while carrying her basket and soon disappeared from my sight. Sigh, a pure girl like her is truly rare!

After my Satiety was restored, I strode into Frost Mound Camp. I arrived before Undead Swordsman Suren and selected the ”Learn Skill” option. Two Level 20 skills that I could learn immediately jumped out at me—

Summon Undead: Summons an undead creature no stronger than the user as a monster servant.

Earth Escape: Escape underground. Movement speed is reduced by 90%, easy to discover.

Each skill cost 20 silver. Fortunately, I was a rich man with 92 silver, so I swiped up both skills.

Summon Undead was naturally a strong skill. It could summon a combat a.s.sistant. Regardless of whether it would be an attacker or just a meats.h.i.+eld, this skill was extremely useful. As for Earth Escape, it should be a life-saving skill. Of course, if one didn't mind how slow it is, it could also be used for a sneak attack.

I activated Earth Escape and my body immediately transformed into several blood-colored vines that dove into the ground. I could see everything that happened above ground but my movement speed was infuriatingly slow. If I tried going to Floating Ice City at this speed, my hair would've already turned gray by the time I got there.

Something like being able to see what's above ground while being hidden underground was extremely powerful. An image of multiple thighs immediately took form in my mind. Using Earth Escape to hide beneath Floating Ice City's gates would allow me to see the cute female elves, succubi, and humans pa.s.s by. Their fluttering short skirts and the impressive view would be a kind of cosmic pleasure!

Subconsciously, my mind already cla.s.sified Earth Escape as a precious trump card.

At this time, my trainer, Undead Swordsman Suren, looked at my underground self with disdain. He said with a voice full of contempt, ”What're you doing, ya smelly brat? You dare use such a basic Earth Escape here?”

I quickly canceled Earth Escape. Blood-colored vines shot out from the ground, condensing into a human figure. I then took out 40 Spiky Skeleton Fingers. ”Master, I got these from our enemies. Undead Lord Cyan Rain is inside the necropolis!”

Suren took the skeleton fingers and snorted. ”Cyan Rain doesn't know the meaning of death, to dare enter my territory. I'm going to show him the power of the Night Creatures' master swordsman! Little skeleton, follow me. I'll give you a lesson and teach you what the law of the jungle means!”

I was filled with reverence. ”Master, over here!”

I came to the deepest part of the necropolis again, this time with Suren. All the resp.a.w.ned skeletons along the way were pretty much instantly killed by Suren. Wielding a two-handed broadsword, a light wave of his sword immediately beheaded a Level 22 Iron Skeleton. Awesome!

We quickly saw the edges of the graveyard Undead Lord Cyan Rain was guarding. He stood at its center, holding a longsword with a frosty expression.

Broadsword in hand, my master—Undead Swordmaster Suren—walked toward the outer fringes of the graveyard. Facing the Undead Lord, hands on his hips, he shouted in a display of arrogance, ”Cyan Rain, you aristocratic sc.u.m! Come out and prepare to die!”
