Free Web NovelChapter 29: Chapter 29: On the Way to Han Soi
Yue Yue’s entire body trembled as she stared at the glowing screen. Her knees almost touched the floor as she leaned forward desperately.
"System... please... you are my only hope," she whispered. "I don’t have anyone else. No one in my family is here. No one in my world ever taught females how to use beast powers. You are the only one who knows. So please... teach me."
She took an even more polite act to convince this tiny system. She knew with the character of this system, it would be really hard to get some benefit from him... so she could only hope this worked...
For a moment, the screen remained silent.
Then...
[Host can still use her ability]
Yue Yue froze. Her eyes widened.
[Your Purification power is leaking out of your body naturally]
[Because Host cannot control it yet, the power flows on its own]
[This is why Host can purify things like polluted beast meat or a simple plant, or can grow small plants.]
Her mouth fell open.
"...It’s leaking?" she whispered.
[Yes]
[Because Host cannot control the energy inside the beast core, an amount escapes all the time] freewebnovёl.ƈom
[This is also the reason Host feels tired so often]
Yue Yue slowly blinked. Then blinked again. Then her expression twisted into pure horror.
"So... so that is why I always feel sleepy?!" she cried. "Even in the polluted zone with Han Soi... I kept falling asleep... because my energy was just running away?!"
Her voice cracked at the end. The system continued calmly:
[Correct]
[If Host wants to purify bigger things, Host needs to learn to control her power, or she will always be tired and listless.]
[To learn control, Host must complete missions]
[Every time a new side mission appears, Host will receive a scroll that teaches how to refine and upgrade her ability]
Yue Yue’s heart exploded with new energy. Her eyes shone like two bright stars.
"A scroll...? I can really learn it? You will teach me?" she asked with trembling eagerness.
[Yes]
[Complete missions... Receive scrolls... Learn control... Unlock full potential]
Her hands curled into fists. Her eyes sparkled with pure excitement.
"So if I finish this mission," she whispered, "a new one will come... and with it, a new scroll... I can actually learn how to use my ability..."
Her heartbeat sped up.
After arriving in this strange world, there was always unease in her... but now with the sudden declaration of her power... maybe living here would not be bad.
After all, what she had could lead to the pinnacle of her life in this world. She could actually purify things... that meant she would become extremely rich one day.
Just thinking about those good days made her mood brighten like the sun. It seemed the system was not as bad as she thought. Now she was not a useless cannon fodder in this world. With her ability even if she angered these villains and kicked them to the curb she could still live a happy life.
After all, who wanted to live with these psychopaths... she could consider Han Soi because he was nothing like the others... but about the others... no way... she did not even want to linger beside them. They were just too dangerous.
With the sudden enlightenment, she felt like fire had lit under her feet. She wanted to purify the B level monster meat right now. Even if it took her ten tries... even if she failed a hundred times... she at least wanted to try.
She wanted to see if her ability could purify it without even controlling it.
So she turned to Lulu immediately.
"Lulu, bring me some B level polluted meat," she said, her eyes shining with determination.
Lulu looked shocked but ran off quickly. A minute later, she came back carrying a sealed, high grade container. Inside it was a thick cut of B level polluted beast meat, still cold with faint frost around the edges.
"Young Miss, this is the freshest batch," Lulu said respectfully.
Yue Yue opened the container... and stopped.
The meat wasn’t dark or anything that said it was polluted. It looked... very clean.
And then with the corner of her eyes she caught something on the container.
"99 percent purified meat"
Yue Yue: "..."
"Lulu," Yue Yue said slowly, "this is already purified."
Lulu blinked. "Yes, Young Miss. All meat sold in the market is purified. Eating unpurified monster meat is illegal. It is too dangerous for anyone."
Yue Yue wanted to cry again.
If it was already purified... how was she supposed to purify it?
She pressed her fingers to her temples. "Lulu... do you have any meat that has not been purified at all? Completely raw? Straight from hunting?"
Lulu froze for two whole seconds. Then her brows lifted in confusion.
"No, Young Miss... people are not allowed to keep raw, polluted meat. Everything transported to the city must be purified first."
Yue Yue stared helplessly at the clean piece of meat.
Great. Her mission required raw polluted meat, but she couldn’t even find a scrap.
But then Lulu leaned closer and lowered her voice.
"But... if Young Miss wants raw meat, Master might have it."
Yue Yue’s head whipped up. "Master? Han Soi has raw meat?"
"Yes. Every day, the guild sends fresh B level and A level beast meat to the dukedom. Before purification, all of it is stored in the Master’s personal base. It is handled by his military unit."
Yue Yue’s eyes brightened instantly.
Then let’s go find him!
"Lulu, do you know where he is?" Yue Yue asked quickly.
Lulu hesitated. "The servants are not told Master’s exact location... but he should be at the Black Fang Command Tower."
Yue Yue blinked. "What is that?"
Lulu straightened and answered proudly.
"It is Master Han Soi’s personal headquarters. It is where his entire private army stays. It is also where all hunted monster meat is recorded before being sent for purification."
The more Yue Yue heard, the more excited she became.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!"
Lulu stared at her for a moment like she was checking if this was allowed. But then she remembered:
Master had told them to obey the Young Miss completely. They had to fulfill every request and keep her happy.
So Lulu nodded quickly.
"Yes, Young Miss! Please wait."
She rushed to the garage and brought out a sleek silver hover car shaped like a crescent blade. Black lines ran along its side, glowing softly, the signature color of the Duke’s household.
"Young Miss, please get in."
Yue Yue climbed into the soft seat, her heart thumping with excitement.
Finally... she would meet Han Soi again.
And finally... she might get her polluted meat.
Lulu started the car, and with a smooth move, they lifted off the ground. The city spread out below them. There were floating platforms, translucent walkways, and circular towers suspended in mid air.
Soon with the speed of the hover car, ahead of them, the Black Fang Command Tower came into view.
It was huge. A dark building that pierced the sky like a spear. Black energy shields rippled around it, protecting it from radiation, storms, and monsters.
On its highest platform stood the crest of the Duke, a python surrounding the tower and its huge piercing wing raised to the heavens.
This was Han Soi’s domain. His personal base, where all of his people stayed and no unauthorized entry was allowed. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Yue Yue leaned forward with shining eyes. This was magnificent... truly breathtaking. She couldn’t remove her eyes from the crest, the winged serpent.
