Novel Bin Chapter 16
The young girl’s name was Wang Yanran.
She was the daughter of the Wang Corporation, another family in the Canaan Safe Zone who was a rival of the Han Corporation for wealth and territory.
When her father, Wang Shoucheng named her, he took words from poem phrases, hoping that she would become a fair and lovely lady.
But with things like names...
Sometimes, whatever you seek to bring in a name would be whatever was lacking.
Those missing the water elements would be given the “miao” character1, those missing the gold element would be given the “xin” character2...
In the end, Wang Yanran did not become a lady as her father wished.
Instead, she was bolder and more reckless than most men.
However, today’s society was a world where looks and money were everything.
Wang Yanran’s appearance was exquisite and pleasant. She was also the daughter of a wealthy family and had awakened a powerful profession, [Dragon Mark] during the coming-of-age ceremony not long ago.
No matter where she appeared, she would cause a stir in the crowd.
With a circle of admirers around her, her arrogant and willful personality became more and more ingrained.
The reason why she suddenly had the idea to hunt a monarch-rank wyrm today to irrigate her profession with dragon blood was so as to advance her strength by leaps and bounds and
have a go against Canaan’s new hidden profession, the [Silver Pope]!
“Fu Tong, take them and chase after the Dark Jade Wyrm. Otherwise, we won’t knows where this ferocious beast will escape to!”
Seeing that the Dark Jade Wyrm was flying further and further away, Wang Yanran gritted her teeth and ordered unwillingly.
Even with the precious resources of the Wang Corporation and the guidance of great teachers, it had only been two days since she awakened her profession.
Skipping Crossing several levels and advancing to Iron VII was already the limit of the limit. Naturally, she could not keep up with the Silver level professionals.
“But Miss, this is the Hundred Thousand Mountains. No one knows where various kinds of demons and ghosts will appear. We can’t let you take the risk!”
“How about this?”
The butler, Fu Tong, said with a serious expression. Then, he turned around and instructed the bodyguards.
“Go and chase after the Dark Jade Wyrm. I’ll protect Miss.”
“Yes!”
The eight Silver-level combat professional bodyguards received the order and immediately unleashed the power that a Silver-level professional should have. In an instant, they were nearly a hundred meters away from Wang Yanran.
“Cough cough...”
“D*mn it, when can I have such speed!”
Watching the bodyguards leave, Wang Yanran puffed up her cheeks and said with red eyes.
“It won’t take long, Miss.”
Butler Fu Tong comforted her while remaining vigilant.
“You are a [Dragon Mark] professional. Using the financial resources of the corporation to gather the blood of dragon-type ferocious beasts, your strength will increase very quickly.”
Suddenly.
“She won’t have a chance to–”
A cold low moan sounded from behind them.
“Who is it!?”
Butler Fu Tong’s expression changed drastically.
A faint golden shield instantly appeared on him and Wang Yanran.
Boom!
Sand and stones flew everywhere, and the sea of trees trembled.
Four mysterious people wearing black robes that covered their faces and figures descended from the sky in a square formation with a dark purple oval-shaped barrier.
They sealed Butler Fu Tong, who had yet to react, and Wang Yanran within.
“The Four Violets Array!”
“How generous. Four Silver-level professionals combined with this extremely precious array, I’m afraid only Gold-level professionals can break it. You guys are really willing to spare with the capital!”
“You guys... are from the Han Corporation, right? You want to hurt Miss Wang as a way of dealing with the Wang Corporation?”
Butler Fu Tong instantly saw through the array.
It was not an exaggeration to say that this group of people had been planning this for a long time given how great of a scale this attack was on.
The four Silver-level combat professionals were not people who a person with a defensive profession that needed to protect his lady could deal with.
“Against a professional like you who’s only half a step into the Gold level, I’m merely choosing to do things like this because I don’t want anything to go wrong.”
Among the four mysterious people,
the man in the lead said indifferently in a low voice. His pale hand reached out from his robe.
A milky-white worm slowly stretched out from it.
“There’s no need to say anything else. If the two of you swallow this insect obediently, I’ll let you go.”
“What a disgusting worm... This is the Soul Swallowing Worm. After eating it, we will be controlled by the worm. Futong... they want to use me to deal with Dad!”
...
Wang Yanran gritted her teeth. Compared to fear, she was more furious.
“Don’t worry, Miss. The Four Violets Array will cut off all signals. The Corporation has already discovered that we have lost contact. Soon, someone will come to save us!”
Butler Fu Tong’s expression turned ruthless as he looked at the four mysterious people threateningly.
“As long as we stall them for half an hour, we win!”
“Hehe-”
In response, the mysterious man in the lead only said in a mocking tone that was filled with killing intent,
“Then I’ll kill you both!”
“With you two dead, a Wang Shoucheng who has gone mad will still be beneficial to us!”
Silence.
Wang Yanran and Butler Fu Tong fell into a dead silence.
It was as if they had fallen into the abyss of the world and was powerless to say anything more.
...
Could it be that...
the Heavens want me dead?
Wang Yanran muttered inwardly.
“Miss, Miss–”
At this moment.
The Silver-grade bodyguards returned with a look of fear on his face. He rushed towards the barrier.
“This bunch of useless fellows, what are they doing back here?”
“Can they break this barrier?”
Wang Yanran cursed at this moment, selectively forgetting that she was the one who ordered them to leave.
Butler Fu Tong remained silent.
The mysterious leader waved the insect in his hand and ignored the interference of the outside world, silently urging the two of them to make a choice.
“Look up in the sky–”
“In the sky, the dragon has fallen–”
However, the bodyguards continued to shout with all their might.
“What? A dragon fell from the sky?”
Wang Yanran and everyone inside the barrier looked up at the dark sky.
Only to see...
in the night sky where the waning moon hung high and the stars were sparse,
a black wyrm that was dozens of meters long fell from the sky with a agonized cry.
Behind it,
they could also vaguely see a pitch-black figure wrapped in black tree branches. He was holding a weapon that looked like a blade of grass and ruthlessly stabbed the wytm
Boom!
The wyrm’s huge body descended from the sky with great force, and struck the Four Violets Array squarely.
In an instant, it was as if the ground was rolling and dust was rising.
The indestructible Four Violets Array shattered under this attack.
Butler Fu Tong quickly brought Wang Yanran among the eight Silver-level bodyguards She looked warily at the spot where the wyrm had fallen.
She wasn’t the only one.
Everyone present was watching this troublemaker.
“Cough cough, blah!”
“Trash!”
“Fly! You can’t fly now, right?”
That person seemed to be a little tired and kicked the wyrm that was barely breathing hard.
Then, he discovered the crowd and was puzzled.
“Why are you all looking at me?”
“I’m just a farmer passing by!”
