Chapter 66

Because of overeating and indigestion, and also because of the intense fight just now, the protagonist succubus had a tough time for the next day. In the end, she only recovered thanks to Xiao Bai's healing potion.

"Ah, ah, finally saved." The protagonist succubus, who had been causing a fuss, lay on the ground covered with dragon skin, roasting by the fire.

"I say, can't you move a bit? Dismembering a dragon isn't an easy job, you know." On the other side, Xiao Bai was struggling with the dragon that had been dead for a day and a night.

Dragon meat is the finest ingredient. Dragon scales and skin can be used to make armor and shields. Dragon claws, teeth, eyes, and bones and blood are all excellent magical materials. Dragon penis can enhance the happiness of nightlife.

One could say that every part of a dragon is a treasure. The more powerful the dragon, the more valuable it is. Among the older and more powerful dragons, one could also say that the older the dragon, the more valuable it is.

An elderly white dragon, no matter how you look at it, should be worth... hmm... about 50,000 gold coins?

After all, this is related to market supply and demand, the protagonist succubus's bargaining skills, and Xiao Bai's craftsmanship.

"Try to peel the skin as intact as possible! Make it look good! Give it some artistic flair!" The protagonist succubus, who was lying there motionless, continued to instruct Xiao Bai, who was working hard.

"How can I do that?! I'm just a warrior, not a skin peeler! If you want it perfect, do it yourself!"

"Ah, ah, you're out! You're out, Xiao Bai, out, out!"

"What are you talking about?! I don't understand at all!"

"Not understanding is no problem. On the contrary, understanding is a big problem."

"Anyway, I really can't handle this alone. Mage, help me out!"

"No way! I'm responsible when it's alive, and you're responsible when it's dead. That's fair division of labor."

"What kind of division of labor is that?!"

That's how it was. Xiao Bai really wanted to quit, but he couldn't bear to. He wanted to rush the job, but he couldn't bear to either—because the protagonist succubus had already said that half of it would belong to Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai was sure that when it came to dividing the spoils, the protagonist succubus would shamelessly take the better part and leave him with the worse.

Saying that, it's not easy to dismantle such a large dragon alone. In the end, the protagonist succubus still came to help.

What made Xiao Bai very unhappy was that despite the protagonist succubus's rough and quick movements, there was no way to find fault with them. Whether it was the dragon scales, skin, or flesh and bones, the protagonist succubus always did a good job, at least better than him.

That skilled technique made Xiao Bai suspect that the protagonist succubus might have been a serial killer in the past.

As they worked, the protagonist succubus suddenly reached out to Xiao Bai.

"By the way, do you have any more potions? Give me some more." He said this while using a delicate skinning knife to peel the dragon skin.

"Well, I do have some... but is it really okay to drink so much?" Xiao Bai said, stopping his work, pulling out a healing potion from his dimensional bag, and handing it over. "Drinking too much of this stuff isn't good for your body."

The protagonist succubus completely ignored Xiao Bai's words, gulped down the healing potion, and then said, "We'll think about that when it really becomes a problem."

"Ah..." Xiao Bai drew out the sound.

"By the way, don't you have a blood-drinking sword? Why do you carry so many healing potions?" The protagonist succubus suddenly thought of this.

"To prevent what happened in the last gladiatorial competition from happening again." At this, Xiao Bai looked very unhappy.

"Oh, hahaha..." In contrast, the protagonist succubus laughed heartily.

After a while, the protagonist succubus continued, "I heard that dragons have the habit of collecting treasures. Too bad this guy wasn't killed in his lair... If I had known, I should have left a few vampires to ask."

"Hmm... Do you want to stay here and look for some?" Xiao Bai asked.

"Forget it. Dragons have a large hunting range. I don't want to stay in this hellhole any longer." The protagonist succubus said, "Anyway, after dealing with this dragon, we'll go back to Nalathel—ah, although camping is fun, a soft bed and a feather pillow are more suitable for me."

"Yeah... Nalathel..."

At this, Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh.

Then he sped up the process of dealing with the dragon.

In the end, after filling his dimensional bag and stripping the bodies of the impoverished vampires, filling three more dimensional bags with loot, some of the dragon's materials were left behind.

"Whatever, we have the essence parts. Mainly, the meat won't fit... Well, consider it a bonus for the ice plain creatures."

Looking at the large pile of boneless meat in front of him, the protagonist succubus said this—incidentally, although he said he would give half to Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai's dimensional bags were fewer. In the end, Xiao Bai received only one-fifth, or even less, of the materials. Additionally, Xiao Bai's request, "Then give me more of the valuable stuff," was rejected by the protagonist succubus.

"No way! I need to use these to recast a sword! I won't let you have them. Stupid Xiao Bai, you already have a family heirloom, do you still want to take things from a poor guy like me? That's too ugly, too ugly, Xiao Bai!"

That's how it was. Previously, the protagonist succubus's +1 fine steel longsword, which he had used for a long time, suffered irreparable damage after piercing the dragon's skull. The protagonist succubus, therefore, while muttering, "Ah, ah, if I had known, I would have stabbed through the mouth," forcibly took all the dragon's teeth, claws, and the strongest bones. In contrast, Xiao Bai, with an attitude of "I can use it for bathing, and you can't stop me," forcibly took most of the dragon's blood.

After dividing the spoils, the two left a large amount of meat for the scavengers of the ice plain. Thanks to the delicious dragon meat and the power contained within, the carnivores reproduced in large numbers, leading to a slight imbalance in the ice plain's food chain.

Of course, these things were not within the consideration of the dragon-slaying duo.

Next was the return journey, back to Nalathel. During the journey, they didn't get lost, there were no blizzards, and no demons attacked. They returned safely and peacefully. After a journey of several days, the protagonist succubus and Xiao Bai were just a step away from Nalathel.

Then, that night.

"Want to drink?" Xiao Bai suddenly asked the protagonist succubus.

"The Young Master's taste is very picky. If it's not good wine, it won't do." The protagonist succubus said this while taking the wine glass from Xiao Bai.

"Ah, I won't disappoint you. If there's one thing I still have confidence in, it's wine."

Xiao Bai said this while pouring the wine, which was as red as blood, into the glass.

"It really tastes good." Even a picky and capricious person like the protagonist succubus couldn't help but sincerely praise it.

"Right?" Xiao Bai smiled and drank his share in one go.

The campfire crackled. Xiao Bai poured the protagonist succubus a second glass and then asked:

"Do you... have any plans for the future?"

"This is the second time you've asked me this." The protagonist succubus simply grabbed the wine bottle and took a big gulp. Xiao Bai shrugged and pulled out another bottle from his dimensional bag.

"Right, the second time." Xiao Bai nodded.

"My answer is the same." The protagonist succubus said, "Do what I want to do."

"Such a casual answer. What do you want to do?"

"What I want to do is what I want to do." The protagonist succubus gulped down the whole bottle and then took another one from Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai shrugged and pulled out a third bottle from his dimensional bag, then, without using a glass, drank directly from the bottle, imitating the protagonist succubus: "This is a waste for you to drink."

"Isn't a good thing meant to be wasted? Be more generous, Young Master." The protagonist succubus rolled his eyes.

"Is that so..." Xiao Bai smiled and shook his head, then said, "I don't plan to go back to Nalathel."

"...Is that so." The protagonist succubus paused and then responded.

"You don't seem surprised." Xiao Bai asked.

"I saw it coming. Besides, you can't go back, can you?"

"Right."

Xiao Bai nodded: "After this incident, I've had a falling out with the other vampires. If they can conspire to harm me, they can also conspire to take my life. I can't go back to Nalathel."

"What about your own family? The other members of the Mokavie family?" The protagonist succubus asked.

"They probably condone it..." Xiao Bai sighed.

"Is there no one to help you?" The protagonist succubus asked a third question.

"No." Xiao Bai shook his head: "I've said before, I have no siblings. My parents died early. Those relatives would be happy to see me dead so they can take over the family property."

"...I see." The protagonist succubus extended his bottle, clinked it against Xiao Bai's, took a drink, and then asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry." Xiao Bai patted his thigh: "I won't let this go—someday, I'll return to Nalathel and reclaim what is rightfully mine... But before that, I'll wander and accumulate strength, hone myself."

"Wandering... " The protagonist succubus sighed: "Yeah, good luck."

"...Yeah... Eh?" Xiao Bai was taken aback: "At a time like this, shouldn't you say, 'Actually, I have a friend, and I'll go with you'?" Xiao Bai stood up in surprise.

"What a joke?! I want a bed, feather pillows, hot food, and the innkeeper's big chest! I've had enough of the rough outdoor life in the wilderness!" The protagonist succubus stood up as well.

"But..."

"Revenge is too depressing! What kind of thing is traveling with a man?! Don't say things like 'I can't do it without you,' Xiao Bai. I'm not your nanny. Take care of your own business, and if you're a man, learn to be strong!"

"..." Listening to this, Xiao Bai was taken aback, then laughed heartily, "hahaha."

"Alright—mage, let's make a pact!" Xiao Bai smashed his wine bottle: "Let's have a drink together when we meet again."

"Also, let's have some grilled meat." The protagonist succubus said.

"And, let's have a competition again. I won't lose to you next time!"

The two said these words, extended their hands, and shook them tightly.
