Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 511, Late Night Visit

Translator: Silavin

“Oh?” Seeing Jian Ying dressed in her nightwear, with her hair loose, coming to find him in the middle of the night, Lu Fan instinctively gulped.

Lu Fan considered himself a gentleman; normally he could remain as calm as still water despite living under the same roof as four beautiful young women. However, he was ultimately a grown man, and Jian Ying was a beautiful young woman! Her knocking on his door so late at night made it difficult for his heart not to race.

Although this was only natural, Lu Fan still calmed himself somewhat and said in a focused tone. “What’s the matter? Why are you looking for me so late?”

“I wanted to talk to you about the holiday,” Jian Ying smiled shyly, then asked, “Um… may I come in to talk to you?”

Lu Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry as he moved aside, half-jokingly but half-seriously saying. “Of course, but if someone sees you entering my room in the middle of the night, you’ll have to help explain that I was not the one who pulled you in here…”

Jian Ying giggled, gave Lu Fan a sidelong glance, and without saying anything, entered his room and sat down on the sofa without hesitation.

Lu Fan had initially wanted to get her a drink, but Jian Ying refused.

Afterwards, perhaps realising that if someone like Tao Xiaoman with her big mouth discovered her in Lu Fan’s room, rumours would certainly spread, she got straight to the point.

It turned out that her purpose in finding Lu Fan was to ask whether, during the four-month holiday, she could follow Lu Fan back to Jianghai City.

Hearing that Jian Ying also wanted to return to Jianghai City, Lu Fan was somewhat surprised and asked why she wanted to go there rather than returning to her home in North Cloud Province.

“You’ve been at Dragon Capital University for nearly a year. Don’t you want to go home to see your Family and spend some time with them?”

At the mention of Family, Jian Ying’s expression became somewhat forlorn, making Lu Fan realise that Jian Ying’s Family situation was likely different from most people’s. Although everyone was quite familiar with Jian Ying by now, they had never talked about her Family.

No one knew about Jian Ying’s background.

Jian Ying did not hide anything from Lu Fan, and directly stated that she was actually an orphan.

She had originally had a good Family, and like Qin Qiu, her Family had been one of the top Families in a city.

However, a Monster Tide had razed the entire city to the ground. Jian Ying had been evacuated from the city in an armoured vehicle by the city guards, which was how she had escaped the disaster.

However, her Family was not as fortunate. They had fought in the city until the very end, with none surviving.

This had happened a year ago, just a few months before Jian Ying entered Dragon Capital University.

After hearing Jian Ying’s story, Lu Fan felt conflicted. He could not imagine how Jian Ying had managed to recover from the trauma of losing her whole Family in just a few months, and still score the highest in North Cloud Province.

From a certain perspective, although Jian Ying was from North Cloud Province, she had no home there.

If she had not met Lu Fan and the girls, Jian Ying would likely have stayed at Dragon Capital University during the holiday, running Dungeon Instances and Levelling Up every day, not bothering to leave.

However, Jian Ying had grown accustomed to living under the same roof as Lu Fan and the others. If they all left and she remained alone, she felt as if something would be missing from her heart.

After all, no one was born to live in solitude.

Coincidentally, Qin Qiu had suggested tonight that they invite Jian Ying to return with everyone, since they were taking a private plane anyway, one more person would not make a difference.

Would it not be nice for everyone to happily return to Jianghai City together?

Moreover, Lu Fan had previously mentioned that he could use the Shadow Isle’s Transport Array as a transfer point to bring everyone back to Dragon Capital University at any time to run Dungeon Instances and Level Up, thus combining rest and training.

To be honest, Jian Ying was truly tempted, but she had still been hesitating whether to go with everyone back to Jianghai City.

Now, she had made up her mind and knew that she truly wanted to spend the four-month holiday with everyone in Jianghai City.

So, Jian Ying immediately came to Lu Fan to ask about his opinion on whether she could join them back to Jianghai City.

After explaining her thoughts, Jian Ying’s face reddened. Given her personality, she disliked asking favours or causing trouble for others. If she had not found it truly difficult to bear the loneliness of staying at Dragon Capital University alone, Jian Ying certainly would not have made such a suggestion.

After hearing Jian Ying’s words and seeing her embarrassment, Lu Fan laughed heartily and said, “I was wondering what the problem was. This is just a small matter! If you want to come back to Jianghai City with us, we’d be more than happy to have you. How could we refuse?”

Jian Ying awkwardly said. “I just thought… bringing me along would be troublesome for you all…”

“What trouble is there?” Lu Fan waved his hand dismissively. “We have private cars and planes. What would one more seat count for? As for Jianghai City, my Aunt and I have a villa there, as well as the Bun Shop I used to live in. Finding a place for you to stay is simple for us.”

“Besides, Xiao Qiu and Tao Zi are from rich Families in Jianghai City. Forget about a room. They could arrange an entire villa for you in no time. But haven’t you told Tao Zi and the others about this? I bet they’d be overjoyed.”

“Not yet…” Hearing Lu Fan speak like this, a smile appeared on Jian Ying’s face as she timidly said, “I thought it would be better to ask for everyone’s permission first. Especially yours, since if I return to Jianghai City with you all, I might have to leech off your Dungeon Instances to Level Up.”

“Hahaha!” Lu Fan laughed loudly. “Leech all you want. You’re welcome to leech off my Dungeon Instances! Come on, it’s such a small matter, no need to be so embarrassed. You are more than welcome to join us back to Jianghai City. Go quickly and share this good news with the others. Then, go pack your things. I heard them making noise just now, so they probably haven’t gone to sleep. When they hear that you’re coming back to Jianghai City with us, they’ll probably be too excited to sleep!”

“En, I’ll go tell them now.” Seeing Lu Fan so happy about her joining them, Jian Ying felt her feet become lighter. With a smile on her face, she hastily left Lu Fan’s room and went upstairs.

Before long, cheers could indeed be heard from the girls upstairs.

…

Meanwhile, in a certain Wilderness in Extremistis Country…

The night was deepening, but the sounds of Monsters still rose and fell.

Suddenly, everything seemed to fall silent, followed by the ground beginning to shake.

*Rumble—* Accompanied by a thunderous sound, a huge abyss, tens of kilometres long, split open in the ground. Following this, a massive Bone Dragon about a thousand metres long flew out, its eyes flashing with dazzling crimson light.

“Jin Chenghan! I can finally seek vengeance against you…”
