Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 469, Ye Wuxian’s Harvest

Translator: Silavin

After all, with Lu Fan’s current strength, not to mention who the freshman was, even Ye Wuxian, the Principal, could not hope to compete with him. Technically, Ye Wuxian could only surpass him in terms of battle experience and combat technique. If comparing raw power, even a hundred Ye Wuxians would not be a match for him.

Lu Fan participation in the final exam would be completely overwhelming; other students would only end up in tears.

However, regardless of how strong Lu Fan was, he was still ultimately a student at Dragon Capital University. He still needed to complete his academic requirements, right?

Moreover, Lu Fan had heard Ye Wuxian mention that the final exam was similar to the freshmen exam. Just that the specific format was decided through drawing lots.

It could involve eliminating Monsters, or internal battles between students in a 1v1, 2v2, or even 5v5 format.

In short, anything was possible.

If it was a team battle, then Lu Fan would need to return and participate together with Han Ke, Jian Ying, and the others.

No matter what, he needed to ensure that his Aunt and his friends got good results in the final exam, right?

After making his decision, Lu Fan summoned Ye Sha and rode on him toward the Ye Family. He planned to have a brief rest at the Ye Family before returning to Dragon Capital University.

…

Meanwhile, at the Ye Family, in front of the Earth Core Magma Cave.

Ning Tu sat in a chair, with the redwood table beside him full of snacks.

These snacks were mostly nuts, fruits and the like, which looked plain but were all treasures with Attribute Enhancement Effects. Their taste was also beyond compare.

These snacks were either precious materials or items that could only be made by High Level Cooks. If sold outside, they would probably be more valuable than some top-quality teas.

Ning Tu ate these snacks with boredom, occasionally glancing at the Earth Core Magma Cave in the distance, showing no signs of impatience.

Beside him, Huang Yingheng and some members of the Ye Family had extremely unpleasant expressions.

Huang Yingheng had been attending to Ning Tu every need for several days, seemingly trying to win his favour.

However, Ning Tu still refused to leave the Ye Family, insisting on waiting for Ye Wuxian to come out so he could claim the Earth Core that she would bring out from the Earth Core Magma Cave.

Huang Yingheng was not truly loyal to Ye Wuxian. However, he did feel that given Ye Wuxian and Lu Fan’s personalities, they would likely retaliate after being taken advantage of by the Ning Family.

And although Lu Fan was indeed very strong, could he be stronger than a Level 100 Player? Could he be stronger than a Second Tier Ancient Noble Family? Especially the Ning Family, which ranked at the forefront in strength among Second Tier Ancient Noble Families!?

If Ye Wuxian and Lu Fan got killed by the Ning Family, Huang Yingheng did not feel it to be a big deal. The key issue was that he now held a high position in the Ye Family. If the Ning Family got angered by them, he would certainly be affected.

Thus, he believes it would be best to persuade Ye Wuxian and Lu Fan to carefully handle their relationship with the Ning Family. At the very least, he should inform Ye Wuxian in advance that Ning Tu wanted the Earth Core she possessed.

If Ye Wuxian obediently handed over the Earth Core, like the Huang Family had done in the past, then the Ye Family would naturally remain safe, and he, Huang Yingheng, could continue to shine in the Ye Family. This would be the best outcome for him and the Ye Family.

He just feared that Ye Wuxian did not know just how terrifying the Ning Family was, and might end up in a conflict with Ning Tu, which would spell major trouble.

Huang Yingheng and the Ye Family were now in the same boat. Personally, he did not want anything to happen to the Ye Family.

Seeing that Ning Tu was still waiting in front of the Earth Core Magma Cave for Ye Wuxian to emerge, Huang Yingheng quietly retreated to the side and made eye contact with a Ye Family member who had just arrived, clearly with something to report.

Seeing Huang Yingheng’s eyes trying to send a message, the family member shook his head with a gloomy expression, indicating there was no good news.

Huang Yingheng’s expression became even heavier as he sighed.

He had repeatedly asked the Ye Family members to try contacting Ye Wuxian, to report the current situation and give her some time to prepare.

But the terrain in the Earth Core Magma Cave was special. They could not establish contact with her.

Huang Yingheng had even sent people into the Earth Core Magma Cave to look for her, but Ye Wuxian had gone to the depths of the cave, where ordinary Family members could not hope to reach. After all, there were High Level Monsters roaming the depths of the cave; who else but Ye Wuxian could reach such depths?

As a result, Ye Wuxian was still aware about Ning Tu’s arrival.

With Ning Tu waiting here, Ye Wuxian would be caught off guard as soon as she came out and she would likely be taken advantage of…

Suffering a setback would be fine, but he feared Ye Wuxian would retaliate, angering Ning Tu, which would implicate the entire Ye Family.

Thinking of this, Huang Yingheng mustered his courage, stepped forward with a smile, and said. “Young Master Ning, you’ve been waiting here for so long. Why don’t you return to the Ye Family mansion first? I will personally have some of our men stand guard, and once our Miss Ye comes out of the cave, I will immediately have her bring the Earth Cores to you and present it with both hands!”

Ning Tu spat out a fruit shell with a *puff*, while grabbing another handful of precious fruits similar to cherry tomatoes. While eating them one by one, he slowly declared. “No need to trouble yourself. The environment here is nice, sunbathing, eating snacks, feeling the cool breeze, it’s quite the pleasant experience. Besides, I’m a very patient person. I’ve waited here for a few days already. No problem with giving her a little more time, right?”

“Okay…” Huang Yingheng did not know what else to say, wondering how he could persuade this person to leave. He wanted to at least be granted an opportunity to warn Ye Wuxian about the Ning Family.

While Huang Yingheng was in a difficult position, Ning Tu’s ears suddenly twitched, and he smiled, saying. “Seems like I don’t need to wait anymore. Your Young Mistress is about to come out.”

“Huh!?” Huang Yingheng was startled, feeling panicked.

At this moment inside the cave, Ye Wuxian was indeed supporting herself against the hot walls, walking haltingly toward the exit.

Her current appearance was quite dishevelled, with many burns on her body, and her clothes were unrecognizably dirty, covered in dust and charred marks.

However, Ye Wuxian was in a good mood.

Because on this trip to the Earth Core Magma Cave, she had mined an entire Inventory of Earth Cores!

The Monsters in the depths of the cave were extremely fierce, giving Ye Wuxian quite a hard time.

Regardless, she had worked hard over these past few days and had yielded impressive results.

With so many Earth Cores, she believes she could finally Level Up! This would reduce the gap between Lu Fan and her.

Now, both tired and exhausted, Ye Wuxian just wanted to quickly return to the Ye Family and have a good rest.

Of course, if she could see Lu Fan when she returned, that would be even better.

Ye Wuxian was happily thinking this as she finally took a step out of the Earth Core Magma Cave, returning to the surface          .
