Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 481, Phoenix Blood Warrior

Translator: Silavin

“So I’m just supposed to disregard what’s happened to my Little Brother?” Ning Shuan’er was equally stubborn, glaring at her Father while clenching her fists.

The Elder’s expression gradually grew stern as he nodded, “Yes. I will handle this matter myself. When you finish your closed-door cultivation, I will give you an answer. If Tu’er has truly died, our Ning Family will make them pay the price.”

“No! I must go myself!” Ning Shuan’er flatly refused. Flames erupted around her body, enveloping her completely. In an instant, she transformed into a Fire Phoenix, burning with raging flames, her aura suddenly far more terrifying.

The Elder could not hide his rage and scolded, “What!? Do you intend to go against me!?”

“Father, forgive me!” She softly said before preparing to attack.

The Elder’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant. “You’ve truly really grown bold! To think you actually daring to speak to me like this!”

“As I see it, Tu’er’s death might actually be good for you! With him constantly on your mind, how can you focus on understanding your Profession Characteristics and take the next step!? I might as well subdue you now, make you give up, and properly continue your closed-door cultivation.” After speaking, he reached out and grabbed at the air. Soon, a pair of dual blades appeared in his hands.

These dual blades were of brilliant gold, with flames flickering around them. Their shape resembled the wings of a Divine Firebird, and they were much larger than ordinary dual blades.

This pair of blades were no ordinary weapon. They were not only Epic Grade, but even among Epic Grade weapons, their Attributes were top-tier, not much inferior to Mythical Grade items.

The Elder was, after all, the Patriarch of a Second Tier Ancient Noble Family. He was naturally strong on his own.

Ning Shuan’er’s face, covered in flames, was filled with anxiety and solemnity. She could sense that her Father was truly serious.

Although she was a powerful Phoenix Blood Warrior, a Hidden Profession, her Father was only half a step away from reaching his Fifth Profession Change, touching upon Divine Power. This made him a superpower!

If he truly wanted to subdue her, it would not be difficult.

But when Ning Shuan’er thought of Ning Tu, after only a brief moment of hesitation, she steeled her resolve and still refused to back down.

Just as the battle between Father and Daughter was about to erupt, a voice suddenly came from the distance. “Uncle Ning! Shuan’er, wait!”

Ning Shuan’er and the Elder were drawn by this voice, and they both saw a mechanical bird, completely glowing with golden light, speeding towards them, with a young man standing on it.

This young man appeared to be about the same age as Ning Shuan’er. Though he was handsome, his upturned eyes gave him an indescribable sinister aura. He was dressed entirely in High Level, High Grade Equipment, with nothing less than Diamond Grade. As for Epic Grade Equipment, he had at least four of them.

The golden mechanical bird beneath his feet was also no ordinary creature. This mechanical bird was far more valuable than ordinary mechanical birds and required a High Level Engineer to craft. Its flying speed was not only faster, but it even came with features like Protective Barriers and Attack Skills, comparable to a small fighter jet.

The price of such a mechanical bird exceeded that of a High Level Diamond Grade item. It does not cost any less than an Epic Grade item.

From this, it was clear that this sinister-looking young man was no ordinary person. Even among Ancient Noble Families, his wealth was substantial.

“Luo Lixiu?” Seeing this person, Ning Shuan’er showed little reaction.

In contrast, the Elder’s expression softened somewhat, indicating that this young man held a significant position in his eyes.

In an instant, the young man called Luo Lixiu flew between Ning Shuan’er and the Elder, clearly intending to prevent them from fighting.

Hovering in mid-air, Luo Lixiu first bowed with the traditional Dragon Country greeting to the Elder, saying. “Uncle Ning.”

Then, with a smile, he said. “Uncle Ning, I was nearby, waiting to welcome Shuan’er after her closed-door cultivation. I heard some commotion here and came to check. As a result, I saw you and Shuan’er about to fight, so I came to stop you. Both of you are Father and Daughter, why are you suddenly so hostile to one another?”

The Elder seemed to respect Luo Lixiu greatly and solemnly said. “You are Shuan’er’s fiancé. So, you are not an outsider. I won’t hide anything from you. This girl can’t distinguish between what’s important and what’s not, because of Tu’er’s matter…”

In a few words, the Elder explained Ning Tu’s situation.

At this point, Ning Shuan’er knew that with her fiancé Luo Lixiu present, a fight would certainly not happen, so she returned to her normal state, no longer appearing in her Fire Phoenix Form.

After the Elder finished speaking, Ning Shuan’er frowned and said, “My Brother is likely dead now! Regardless, I must go to the Huang Family to seek justice!”

“What if this is all a misunderstanding, and your Brother isn’t dead? In any case, you will obey me and resume cultivating!” The Elder rebuked.

“So, Shuan’er wants to end her closed-door cultivation early for this matter…” After hearing them both, Luo Lixiu sighed.

Then, he looked at Ning Shuan’er and solemnly said, “Shuan’er, I actually know about this matter. Originally, I was planning to keep it from you until after your closed-door cultivation. But I didn’t expect you to learn about Ning Tu’s death prematurely. Since that’s the case, I can’t hide it from you…”

“What!?” Although Ning Shuan’er suspected Ning Tu was likely in grave danger, when she heard Luo Lixiu confirm he was indeed dead, she still could not accept it and staggered a few steps.

“You’re saying my Brother is really dead!? What exactly happened!? Who killed him!?”

Luo Lixiu said with concern. “Shuan’er, calm down first, I’ll slowly explain.”

“You know that my Luo Family, as another Second Tier Ancient Noble Family, has our intelligence network as our foundation for establishing ourselves deep in the Western Border. So, there is nothing happening in the Western Border, or even the entire Dragon Country and the world that my Luo Family doesn’t know about.”

“Recently, the outer regions of the Western Border have been unstable. The Third Tier Ancient Noble Families, the Huang Family and the Loong Family, were completely wiped out by an expert invited by the Ye Family while they were trying to take over the Ye Family’s resources. And Ning Tu, who originally went to the Huang Family to get Earth Cores for you, ran into trouble and was also killed by that expert.”

“He was killed!?” Ning Shuan’er’s eyes widened, filled with tears.

However, she refused to believe it and questioned. “How is that possible!? My Brother is at Level 100! He also had a Level 100 Ghost General by his side! Who in the outer region of the Western Border could have killed him!? Who did the Ye Family invite, what’s his background? Is he from another Second Tier Ancient Noble Family, maybe a First Tier Ancient Noble Family!?”

“Neither.” Luo Lixiu shook his head and said truthfully, “This person is not from any Ancient Noble Family. Just an ordinary person from Jianghai City.”

“His name is Lu Fan, and he is a Dragon Tamer.”
