Chapter 67

It was just like that, after making the promise, Xiao Bai gradually disappeared from the protagonist succubus's line of sight. At the same time, the dawn colored the horizon.

"In the depths of the abyss, there is also a sunrise..." the protagonist succubus sighed, then put on the sunglasses she hadn't used for some time.

"Just a little bit, hmm, just a little bit. The sunlight is a bit blinding."

"Well, in any case, that's the end of this matter. Back to Nalathel, to the soft bed, the soft pillow, to sleep, sleep, sleep. It's been quite a tough time recently. My delicate self is really not suited for outdoor life."

In less than a minute, the protagonist succubus adjusted her mindset and walked towards Nalathel with a light and cheerful step. Her goal was Delmont's general store. She needed to complete her mission here and claim the bounty. Additionally, she had to replenish various potions, scrolls, and recharge her magic staff.

It was just like that. The protagonist succubus found the store deep in the alley, shouting "I'm back!" as she kicked open the door. After exchanging greetings and playful insults with the Yorgros merchant, she pulled over a chair and performed acrobatics on it.

"So, how did it go this time?" the Yorgros merchant asked.

"Well, it was okay, no big deal. There's nothing in those backwater places that can stop me."

"That's not what I'm asking about." the Yorgros merchant said: "The mission, the mission. You didn't abandon it halfway because it was troublesome and come back, did you?"

"How could I?" The protagonist succubus, while keeping the chair balanced on one leg, carefully switched to another leg and continued to juggle. She aimed to exceed twelve jumps this time.

"That's not what I'm asking about." the Yorgros merchant said, forcing himself not to look at the abused chair and not to think about how much it would cost to replace it. He tried to calm down and asked in a normal tone.

"Did you complete the mission?"

"Of course, of course. I protected that idiot very well, in one piece." The protagonist succubus waved her hand and said.

"Oh, that's impressive. I thought you would have killed him halfway and brought back his head."

"Well, I did have that thought, but in the end, I didn't." The protagonist succubus said: "So, can I get my commission now?"

"No."

"..."

There was a two-second pause, and then the protagonist succubus's scream almost tore the roof off the store.

She kicked over the chair and grabbed the Yorgros merchant's collar, shaking him violently. "What?!! You're not giving it to me?! What do you mean?! Do you want to die?! Bullying me?! Breaking the deal?! Blackmail?! Monopoly?! Withholding payment?! Even if we take this to the God of Justice, I would be in the right, you know?! Do you believe I'll kill you, cut you into pieces, and feed you to Xiao Bai?!"

"Let go, let go, let go—It's not my fault—I can't give you money because you didn't bring back Daniel's head—"

The Yorgros merchant struggled, but naturally, with only 12 strength points, he was no match for the protagonist succubus with 18 strength points. He could only look at her fierce gaze and listen to her say:

"But I protected that idiot's safety! I killed a pack of winter wolves, over a hundred demons, a bunch of vampires, and a dragon, a dragon, damn it! Do you know how hard it is to deal with a dragon?! I put in a lot of effort, even breaking my sword, damn it!!"

"I appreciate your effort... but that's not a reason to pay you." Despite being almost out of breath, the Yorgros merchant's tone remained calm: "If you had killed him, you could have taken the money from his enemies. But since you protected him, you should get the money from the one you protected. Isn't that common sense?"

"…I guess so." The protagonist succubus released the merchant's collar. After a two-second pause, she shouted even louder:

"Xiao Bai!!!!!!!! You damn it!!!!!!
