Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 483, Lining One’s Own Pockets, Embezzling a Bit

Translator: Silavin

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

“Senior Sister, are you really not coming back to Dragon Capital with me?” Lu Fan asked with disappointment as he watched Ye Wuxian busily helping him pack his luggage.

After a day with the Spring of Life applied on her, Ye Wuxian’s injuries had recovered considerably. Right now, she just needed a good rest to fully heal.

At the same time, in a few more days, it would be the final exam at Dragon Capital University, so Lu Fan planned to set off immediately to return to Dragon Capital.

After all, the Western Border could not support a Transportation Array that covered too great a distance due to the chaotic Space Principles here, so the journey back would take quite some time.

Originally, Lu Fan had thought that Ye Wuxian would return to Dragon Capital with him.  But upon asking, he discovered that Ye Wuxian had no immediate plans to return to Dragon Capital.

Firstly, after her journey to the Earth Core Magma Cave, she had gained some insights regarding her Profession Characteristics. Right now, she was showing signs of Levelling Up. Therefore, Ye Wuxian wanted to go into closed-door cultivation at the Ye Family for a period of time, to see if she could reach Level 97.

Secondly, the Ye Family had yet to stabilise completely, and most of their Map Resources were still in a state of rebuilding. To get the Ye Family fully functioning again, it would require at least a month of scheduling and management.

During this time, Ye Wuxian definitely could not leave. She estimated that after a month, she would have more freedom with the Ye Family able to operate on its own.

Lu Fan had no objections to this, but his only concern was whether the Ning Family might come to exact revenge once he left.

Ye Wuxian shared the same concern, but she had found a solution.

In the Western Border, there was another Third Tier Ancient Noble Family, the Quan Family, that had some connections with the Ye Family.

The Quan Family employed a Scroll Crafting Master whose Scroll Crafting Skill had reached the Max Skill Level.

Ye Wuxian had sent this person numerous materials for making Scrolls, along with a substantial processing fee, to create an Unrestrained Teleportation Scroll.

Using an Unrestrained Teleportation Scroll, one could ignore the chaotic Space Principles of the Western Border and cross an extreme distance.

Unless it was a special location like Dragon Domain, an isolated space, where Teleportation was impossible, this Unrestrained Teleportation Scroll could transport its user to their designated location.

With this Scroll, Lu Fan could return to the Ye Family at a moment’s notice, thus eliminating concerns about revenge from the Ning Family.

If the Ning Family did not come, then the matter would be dropped, as Lu Fan was not a bloodthirsty person.

But if the Ning Family truly had thoughts of revenge, then Lu Fan would not mind storming the Ning Family to help the Ye Family eliminate this trouble.

Although Lu Fan could leave the Western Border with peace of mind, he could not help feeling somewhat dejected thinking about how he had arrived with Ye Wuxian but would be leaving alone.

Hence, his earlier question.

At this moment, Ye Wuxian was busy packing his luggage for him, and had retrieved numerous precious equipment, Skill Books, and other items from the Ye Family’s treasury (Treasure Pavilion) to give to Lu Fan. There were also gifts to bring back for Han Ke and the others.

Hearing Lu Fan’s question, she smiled with a slight apology. “Yes, I probably need about a month before I can get away from the Ye Family. Before, my Uncles and Grandfather could handle the Ye Family affairs, and I didn’t need to concern myself with Family matters. But now, the burden of the Family rests on my shoulders. I can’t afford to be idle. But I think this is still fine. It’ll only take a month. Once this is over, I’ll have more freedom, and I’ll return to Dragon Capital.”

Lu Fan thought for a moment, then resignedly said. “One month… by that time, Dragon Capital University will already be on holiday, right? During that time, I might be returning to Jianghai City with my Aunt. I may not stay in Dragon Capital.”

Ye Wuxian smiled. “That’s fine too. If by then you returned to Jianghai City, I’ll come find you in Jianghai City. Actually, I’d like to see your hometown as well.”

“Haha, that works too.” Lu Fan smiled, but seemed embarrassed as he saw another Ye Family member bringing in a set of Swordsman equipment from outside.

“But, Senior Sister, I don’t think we need to pack so many things. Just for Tao Zi, you’ve prepared two Equipment Sets, and both are valuable Equipment Sets…”

“Hehehe!” Ye Wuxian playfully stuck out her tongue and said, “Isn’t there still plenty of space in your Inventory? We might as well pack more things.”

“Also, the equipment just now is for Tao Zi to wear when she undergoes her Third Profession Change. The other set is for her to equip right away. Equipping this set will increase her Combat Power by a ton, which will help you all perform better in the final exam, right?”

After a pause, Ye Wuxian smiled mischievously and continued. “Previously, I didn’t have much authority in the Ye Family; although I could use money freely, I couldn’t freely take items from the Treasure Pavilion. But now it’s different. Since I can ‘line my own pockets,’ I might as well ’embezzle a bit’ to send as gifts to your friends. Also, this much isn’t a big deal to us.”

Lu Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Who would have thought that the new Head of the Ye Family, upon taking office, would become a rat that ‘steals’ her Family’s fortunes?

Just as Lu Fan was about to advise Ye Wuxian not to be too brazen with her ‘embezzlement’, a sudden loud noise came from outside the Ye Family Residence.

Such a disturbance caused both Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian to sharpen their expressions. Both simultaneously transformed into afterimages, rushing towards the door, using their Holy Dragon King’s Bone Wings and Flight respectively to ascend into the air.

Upon arriving outside, the two saw a giant Fire Phoenix circling in the sky above the Ye Family Residence.

It had just flapped its wings, scattering a large sheet of fire rain, which had caused the earlier commotion.

The Protective Barrier of the Ye Family Residence had already been raised, a barrier capable of withstanding attacks from Fourth Profession Players. However, after enduring a wave of attacks from this Fire-Phoenix, it showed signs of cracking.

One could imagine that if the Ye Family scouts had not discovered the anomaly early enough to activate the Protective Barrier in time, that single strike from the Fire Phoenix would have razed half of the Ye Family Residence to the ground.

Seeing this Fire Phoenix, Ye Wuxian’s expression brightened, and she murmured. “Hmmm… could that be a Monster!?”

Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and looked for a moment, then shook his head. “It’s not a Monster. Just a Player, and moreover, that is not the main body, just a Clone.”

“This is a Player’s Clone!?” Ye Wuxian was utterly astonished.

Because she could sense that the other party’s strength far exceeded her own.

For such a powerful existence to merely be a Clone, how terrifying must the person  be?!

Even compared to Ning Tu, the difference was like Heaven and Earth…
