Chapter 39: An Unexpected Surprise

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Baiyi had managed to coax her, he watched her hold the cat paw pastry as she ate it like a small, cute squirrel. After eating just two pieces, she packed the box up nicely, with the intention of taking it to class tomorrow to share with her classmates.

As she bid goodnight to Baiyi, Mia took off her school uniform and changed into a common white nightgown before she wrapped herself up in the blanket. Hugging her hammerhead doll tightly, she fell into a deep and peaceful slumber.

As for Baiyi, he waited patiently for Mia to fall asleep before taking out the storage pouch that he had stolen from Undine. Carefully, he inspected the greatest payoff of the day as he undid the enchantment that was set onto the pouch. He gradually took out the contents onto the table one by one.

Most of the items inside were the orange colored Chi Restoration Potion that Undine consumed during their battle. It looked like there were still a dozen more of those potions left. Had he continue to battle it out with her, the match between them would probably be dragged out for a very long time.

What followed next was the Chi Restoration Crystal. This item had a higher stat recovery than the Chi Restoration Potion. He counted a total of a couple dozens of the item that was probably enough to allow Undine to cast high power technique like the Bladestorm a few dozens more time.

Those two recovery items were not considered as too expensive as many ordinary people could still afford it. However, the five seemingly ordinary small bags were different. What was inside was actually the ground powder from the bone marrow located at the Behemoth’s spine! That thing was extraordinary! Just a small thumb-sized bag was enough to allow a Legendary-tier Saint of Sword to recover his Chi Prowess fully! There was no doubt that it was one of the most expensive and luxurious recovery items in the market! More importantly, Behemoth was a beast that was highly valuable from its head to its toe. It was not easy to lay one’s hand on the powder as the item usually could only be found at the Northern Wasteland or some small hidden realms. Not everybody could obtain it easily.

Just five mere bags of bone marrow’s powder added up together would amount to about 8000 gold coins. However, compared to those few white fluorescent bottles that would light up all day and night, the powder was still slightly lacking. The bottles actually contained the blood of the white dragons. To be able to encounter a white dragon was something that could be considered as extremely rare. And to even succeed in killing it? It was exactly why the material was extremely valuable and priceless, to the point that one could not even put a price on it.

Just a mere few drops would overwhelmed Baiyi with magic. It was more than enough to allow Baiyi to complete a huge Magical Formation. A material as precious as that was often only used in an extreme and crucial situation.

The runes on that black fellow was drawn on using this white dragon’s blood right? Wow, I never thought that there would be people wasting them just like that! Baiyi could not comprehend it as he told the Voidwalkers. He could not help but feel scorn at the wasteful tyrannical actions of the Dole family. But since they could afford forging a full armor using pure black gold, there was no reason for them to not be able to afford drawing runes with the blood of a white dragon, right? After all, the world of a rich person was totally different from the poor.

“Although it’s really wasteful but it is not as terrible as we thought I guess? I remember that before I entered the Void, there was a wave of exploration and development in small realms. Now that quite a dozen of years have passed, they probably reaped some gains that we don’t know of,” The Apprentice reminded suddenly. After all, that was news that most Voidwalkers were unaware of.

However, it was definitely not a pleasant experience to explore a new realm. It was entirely possible that new realms that was discovered after a laborious amount of efforts would turn out to be nothing but a wasteland; or perhaps it had an extreme weather that was not suitable for human survival and also some other unexpected danger that was waiting ahead. Although the situation was like that and the risk were high, it still did not stop human’s enthusiasm in pursuing profits. Seeing how such a precious material was used to this extent, there should be quite a lot of things that had been discovered by the human beings in those past few decades.

Anyway, things like exploring a new realm had nothing to do with Baiyi at all. He continued to look through Undine’s belongings. Other than those items that were listed before, the rest of them were all sorts of different Magical Scrolls, such as Protection Spell, Teleportation Spell, Blessing Spell and even cures for all sorts of curses, basically every magical item that one could think of. It was as if the bag was a walking church.

Now that Baiyi thought about it, it seemed that Undine really did not have any malicious intention towards him at all. Otherwise, had she used all of those things in the pouch, there was no way Baiyi could wriggle his way out from the battle.

Is there something wrong with the mind of the Dole family? Look at all these stuff! Isn’t it little too much? Baiyi felt exasperated as he asked the Merchant. Do you guys plan to kill your enemies with money?

The Archmage seconded Baiyi’s opinion as well as he followed up, “Even though I’m not against the use of equipment, consumables and such but if she’s depending too much on these foreign items, it would cause her skills to be unrefined.”

Facing the unanimous opinion of two veteran Voidwalkers, the Merchant certainly could not say anything at all. All he could do was to reply with a weak voice, “But, our family is a business family after all. Of course we are not able to compare with those who came from a background of magical or martial arts family… Erm… That’s why, if the opportunity presents itself, is it possible for you to help guide my descendant, Sir Hope? I’m sure that she would give you a generous reward.”

No thanks! Baiyi immediately rejected the idea. I can barely take care of Mia. Please don’t give me another trouble. Do you really think I like being a nanny now? Not all things can be settled by money you know.

Hearing his words, the Merchant dared not come up with any reply anymore. However, at that time, the other Voidwalkers suddenly became excited and started to persuade Baiyi.

“Well, you do have a point! But don’t you think Undine is beautiful? Look at that aristocratic elegance that exuded from her body. Don’t you think it would be a big accomplishment to be able to train such a beautiful girl to become a powerful person in the future?

“Exactly! Look at her body! How gorgeous is she?”

“Besides, Sir Hope, you also assaulted her sexually, didn’t you? Don’t you think it’s very irresponsible saying such words after you have done that?”

That was just a convenient way for me to get out of that situation! Baiyi quickly defended himself. Besides, I was just trying to warn her, from an elder to a youngster, to not wear such revealing clothes!

“Oi, oi, oi! Don’t you think you’re a little over the line? You have been controlling Mia-chan all this while and now you even want to control somebody else’s— the Merchant’s—- descendant? What’s so wrong with a girl showing off her charm? Are you, by any chance, a Muslim?”

What? How does this have anything to do with being controlling and religions? I was just hoping that these girls would dress a little more modestly. They should use their temperament and personality to show off their beauty and not dress in provocative clothing to attract a man’s attention! Bayi quickly defended himself, refusing to admit that he was being as conservative as an old-fashioned dad.

Anyway, what we got today amounted to this… Baiyi quickly changed the topic. Based on the value that most of us understand, there is no doubt that the items in this pouch can get us an alchemy workshop. And the storage pouch itself probably cost a fortune as well. The space inside is almost as big as the biggest luggage one could find on Earth. Basically, this storage pouch is of the highest grade in this realm.

As he was speaking, he turned the storage pouch over and gave it a good shake, wanting to see what else he might have missed before. At once, a few pieces of black clothing fell out from the pouch.

“What the hell is this?” Picking up the light clothing to have a good look, he was shocked to see that those were actually women’s underwear and black silk stockings! The designs of those underwears were very provocative and sensuous, the type that was able to evoke a man’s deepest desire! Just the soft feeling of the material itself could send an image of the beautiful and mature Undine dressed in those provoking clothing to mind…

Ahem! What a useless item. I’ll just burn it! Immediately, Baiyi made a gesture to cast a fire spell to dispose of the items. Before he could burn it, a Walker suddenly yelled out loudly to stop him.

“DON’T! This is the biggest reward we’ve got today! It’s a real true treasure! Don’t you just burn it like that!”

What can I do with these things then? The size doesn’t fit Mia anyway!

Without another word, Baiyi mercilessly burned those useless clothing into ashes, turning the Walkers’ excitement into grievous cries.

Speaking of that, everytime when somebody starts this kind of hentai topic, other than the two guys who came from the church and the Bard whose entire life revolves around women, there’s still another guy who keeps chiming in. His voice is kinda loud too! I wonder who that is… Baiyi decided to search his mind, trying to find the voice of the person who spoke just now… Found it! Tsk tsk tsk! 26th Walker, the one called the Astrologer! The person who is supposed to look at the sky! I’d never imagined you’d become a member of the Hentai Group as well!

“Yeah? That’s right! It’s me! So what now? What’s so wrong for a man to pursue the things that he likes? Now that I don’t get to look at the stars anymore, what’s wrong with me turning to another hobby?” The Astrologer defended himself.

Tsk tsk tsk… Though there’s nothing wrong with it, but you are also the most righteous pervert I’ve ever seen! Baiyi was momentarily taken aback by his tone.

“Well, of course! You can call us THE FOUR VOID-HENTAIS! Or THE HENTAI FOUR! Either way is fine with us!”

OH MY F*CKING GOD! DON’T SAY SUCH DISGUSTING TITLEs OUT LOUD!
