Chapter 47

(Listening) (Greatly appreciate the repeated rewards from 'Bing5555' and 'Dark Night—DH'!)

"Chime! Congratulations, user level up, current level 46!"

"Chime! Congratulations, user level up, current level 47!"

"Chime! Congratulations, user level up, current level 48!"

"Chime! Congratulations, user level up, current level 49!"

Wuyan was speechless, staring at Mikoto who was still in the shooting stance.

What a classic scene this was!

When was Mikoto most captivating?

Ten percent would say it was when Mikoto acted tsundere, another ten percent would say it was when Mikoto hugged Gekota, but eighty percent of the 'Railgun' fans would give the same answer: when Mikoto used her Railgun!

This scene, where Mikoto's dominance truly shone, a moment that could only be glimpsed on the screen, was now happening right in front of Wuyan.

Seeing this, Mikoto's image was deeply etched into Wuyan's heart, exuding dominance, heroism, and coolness!

Compared to this feeling, the joy of leveling up seemed minor. After all, the opponent was a level 60 monster, and the experience gained from a 15-level gap only resulted in a four-level increase. Wuyan could only say that the gap between levels was too thick.

Mikoto didn't level up at all. If Wuyan couldn't level up six stages, it would be even harder for Mikoto to level up eight stages; she would have to grind a lot.

"Cool!" Even Chrysanthemum couldn't help but praise, knowing that Chrysanthemum was known for her cool image, if she said it was cool, it really was... incredibly cool!

"Yan, this." Mikoto came to Wuyan and Chrysanthemum, handing a jade token to Wuyan. The giant snake demon was dead, and the Jade of the Heavenly Palace was naturally recovered by Mikoto.

"Finally got it!" Wuyan took the Jade of the Heavenly Palace, feeling a bit nostalgic. In just one day and night, the three of them had experienced a lot, from the 'wall' demon at the beginning to the wolf demon, the demon horde, the tree demon, and the giant snake demon. Although it was only a day and night, the process was indeed not easy...

Mikoto and Chrysanthemum also fell into deep thought. Compared to Wuyan, they had more psychological burdens. That slaughter might have changed them a lot. At least for Mikoto, she could now kill harmful demons without hesitation, though Wuyan didn't think she could kill humans.

However, the rewards were also significant. At the start, Wuyan was only level 30, fourth stage. In just one day and night, his level increased by 19 to reach level 49, almost sixth stage, and he also obtained a huge sum of 8,300,000, now 8,200,000, item points!

Even Mikoto leveled up one stage to reach level 69, and they had obtained the Jade of the Heavenly Palace. As long as they exchanged it for the 'Mysterious Crystal Fragment' from Isumi's mother, Wuyan's mission would be completed. The rewards were indeed substantial.

Walking to the giant snake demon's head, Wuyan sighed. Mikoto's one Railgun had blown it through from head to tail. Perhaps even at the moment of death, the giant snake demon hadn't reacted.

"Chime! Gained 50,000 item points!"

Handing over the giant snake demon's enormous body to the system, Wuyan received 50,000 item points. This trip to the sealing barrier was coming to an end, and so was Wuyan's butler journey...

"Yan, this is also for you. Sorry, I can't use it." Mikoto smiled, taking a bottle of potion from her pocket and handing it to Wuyan. It was the 'Radiant Breath' Wuyan had given her before the battle.

"Why are you giving it back? Keep it for emergencies." Wuyan glanced at her, a bit annoyed. With 8,250,000 item points, would he be stingy about one 'Radiant Breath'?

"Isn't it more useful for you to keep it?" Mikoto said confidently, as if she were standing on the side of truth.

Wuyan couldn't help but glare at her. "I have plenty of item points. What do I lack? Keep it yourself. Don't take risks just because you can't die. Remember, reviving you also costs summoning points, and I don't have extra summoning points to revive you now!"

Wuyan currently had 11,000 summoning points, and the initial summoning of Mikoto cost 70,000 points. Reviving a summoned character required half the initial summoning points, so reviving Mikoto would cost 35,000 summoning points!

"What? If you die, I'm dead too, right? I'm doing this for myself!" Mikoto said a bit awkwardly. Indeed, she had a bit of a reckless impulse, wanting to try something bold, but she wasn't foolish enough to die for no reason.

This showed how eager Mikoto was to seek excitement...

"Since this idiot doesn't want it, Chrysanthemum, you can use it!" Mikoto turned her head away, as if refusing her offer was the most foolish thing, leaving Wuyan speechless.

"Me? I don't need it either." Chrysanthemum waved her hands. "After completing this mission and moving to another world, Yan will summon me over. By then, I'll be like you, so I don't need it."

"Are you sure, Chrysanthemum..." Wuyan couldn't help but ask. "What about your parents? Your sister? Can you bear to leave them?"

Chrysanthemum was taken aback, then thought for a moment before smiling. "I want to make a choice for myself. Besides, didn't you say that once you leave, this world will freeze, and time will stop, so there's no need to worry about them being anxious."

"Make a choice for yourself, huh?" Wuyan fell silent.

"Why are you so nagging? Do you have a problem with it!" Mikoto crossed her arms, looking at Wuyan with dissatisfaction. "She said she wants to make a choice for herself, so why are you hesitating?"

"How am I hesitating..." Wuyan rebutted, trying to sound righteous. "I'm just seeking her opinion. How is that hesitating?"

"Still arguing..." Mikoto's forehead flashed with a spark, and she said with a cold smile. "Remember, when I was summoned, you didn't ask for my opinion at all. Don't I have parents too?"

Wuyan's mouth twitched, and he laughed dryly. "Alright, it's my fault..."

Wuyan was very concerned about Chrysanthemum's opinion. After all, if the president really didn't want to go to Spallier with him, he couldn't force her. Wuyan also wanted to be with the president.

So, when Chrysanthemum chose to follow them, Wuyan felt both happy and proud.

If a woman is willing to follow you to the ends of the earth, the likelihood of something 'romantic' happening is as high as ninety percent...

Thinking of this, Wuyan felt even more proud, and it showed on his face.

Seeing Wuyan's proud expression, Chrysanthemum huffed. "Of course, it's not for you. It's just to protect Mikoto!"

"Protect Mikoto?" Wuyan's proud expression froze. Protect Mikoto? What a ridiculous reason, she's two levels higher than you, girl...

"Protect me?" Mikoto was also a bit surprised, then patted her chest confidently. "Don't worry, Chrysanthemum, I'm very strong and can protect myself!"

"That's not what I meant!" Chrysanthemum walked to Mikoto's side, hugging her arm. "I mean protecting you from this pervert. If I don't go, who knows what this despicable pervert might do in a situation with only a man and a woman!"

"How... how could that be..." Mikoto's eyebrows twitched, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Wuyan opened his mouth wide, eyes wide, and looked at Chrysanthemum, shouting, "I'm innocent! How am I a pervert? Chrysanthemum, don't frame me..."

"Are you still denying it!" Chrysanthemum's face also turned red, and she glared at Wuyan, saying with gritted teeth, "You even undressed us and gave us a bath. What else wouldn't you do?"

The past being brought up, Mikoto also blushed deeply, glancing at Wuyan and looking at Chrysanthemum. "That's right, Chrysanthemum, you must protect me. I can't be alone with him!"

Wuyan was speechless, his face showing tears of frustration.

He couldn't refute it, given his past actions...

...

When Wuyan and the others spent half a day walking out of the cave, the first thing they saw was Isumi's mother sitting in front of the helicopter, staring at them in disbelief. Her face was full of disbelief, as if she were seeing a miracle. She muttered, "Huh, why am I having such a strange dream? It doesn't make sense, they're not my cute Isumi, why would I dream about such strange things..."

This left Wuyan, Mikoto, and Chrysanthemum with black lines on their foreheads.

Wuyan sighed, took out the Jade of the Heavenly Palace, and walked to Isumi's mother, smiling. "Mrs. Isumi, I didn't fail you. I've brought back the Jade of the Heavenly Palace!"

However, Isumi's mother seemed to treat Wuyan as a hallucination, still muttering to herself, ignoring them to the point of breaking the sky.

"Mrs. Isumi! I didn't fail you! We've brought back the Jade of the Heavenly Palace!" Wuyan's voice was already distorted, filled with resentment, which scared Mikoto and Chrysanthemum and finally woke Isumi's mother from her daze.

Could Wuyan be blamed? When talking to Isumi's mother, a bit of 'oomph' was needed to communicate.

Isumi's mother looked at the Jade of the Heavenly Palace in Wuyan's hand and said softly, "You really came back? You're all safe?"

"Yes, we're all safe, and we've also cleared all the demons in the barrier. Your family won't have to worry about the barrier anymore." Wuyan handed the Jade of the Heavenly Palace to Isumi's mother, smiling.

Isumi's mother didn't say much but showed the most beautiful smile Wuyan had ever seen from her. She clutched the Jade of the Heavenly Palace to her cheek, closing her eyes, as if it were a treasure.

Wuyan, Mikoto, and Chrysanthemum smiled, knowing that Isumi's mother's reaction was not for the family or the family treasure, but for her daughter, to help her retain her spiritual power. That's why she showed such an expression.

Isumi has a good mother...

Coming back to her senses, Isumi's mother sincerely bowed to Wuyan and the others. "Thank you, really, thank you very much."

"Don't be so formal. It was a mutual benefit." Wuyan rubbed his nose, a bit embarrassed, as he wasn't good at handling such situations.

Isumi's mother smiled and nodded, taking out the 'Mysterious Crystal Fragment' from her chest and slowly presenting it to Wuyan. "This is what Wuyan needs. I trust you, Wuyan, to handle it well!"

Wuyan took the crystal, held it high, and closed one eye, looking at it.

In the sunlight, the crystal emitted a gentle light, symbolizing a new beginning...
