Suddenly, flowers bloomed in the Rakia field where water had been poured earlier, emitting light as if urging them to click. Seeing the scene, Ruella, as if having realized something, began to run in that direction. Surprised, Mitchell and Tien quickly followed her.
“Ruella, what are you doing?”
As the commotion abruptly started on Ruella’s side, Asarnic turned its head towards them. Kite quickly stepped in front of Asarnic, diverting its attention.
With the freedom to move, Ruella hurriedly picked the dew hanging on the flowers and asked, “Mitchell, Tien, do you see these sparkling dews?”
“Yes, we see them.”
“Can you click on them and try spraying Asarnic? It seems like that might be the solution.”
Even if they didn’t know the strategy, finding weaknesses by avoiding attacks was a basic skill. Moreover, even if the strategy was difficult to figure out, there were usually hints around.
The same was true now. These flowers couldn’t suddenly emit light for no reason. Besides, wasn’t there something in the quest about fairies not being able to gather dew in the Rakia field because of the monsters?
If the dew had dried up due to the monsters, there must have been a reason for it. And Ruella’s speculation was correct.
When the three gathered the dewdrops and sprayed Asarnic, the small black dragon began to make strange sounds in agony.
“It’s losing health. I’ll go pick them up too.”
Excluding Kite and Hagen, who were holding Asarnic’s aggro, the party members gathered dew and sprayed it on the black dragon.
“Kuhuhuhuk.”
As Asarnic’s health decreased, its roar gradually intensified.
“5%.”
While Ruella sent healing to Kite, the three continued to attack with dew, and before long, the black dragon collapsed to the ground.
“The overseer will come soon. Let’s quickly find the key.”
Anxious, Hagen searched Asarnic’s corpse.
“There’s a necklace.”
When Raphael found a necklace that wasn’t noticeable due to its black color, Mitchell asked after cutting it off.
“The key?”
“I don’t think so. There’s a piece of a letter inside.”
“Then where’s the key?”
Everyone anxiously searched from head to toe, but there was no obvious place where the key could be.
“Inside the mouth. Did you check inside the mouth?”
Although the story was focused on an oriental dragon, traditionally, dragons were depicted holding a gem in their mouths. Of course, Asarnic was a Western-style dragon, but considering that the game developer was a Korean company, it didn’t matter much.
Frowning at Ruella’s words, Hagen, who was peeking into the mouth, shouted, “It’s here, it’s here!” As soon as Ruella saw Hagen shaking the key with excitement, she immediately pressed the teleport button.
“Huh?”
In the blink of an eye, the background changed to the mansion hall, and Hagen, who was shouting with joy, burst into awkward laughter with a strange expression.
Seated with one knee on the ground, holding the green key, they attracted the attention of onlookers.
“I’ll prepare the bath. Today, the smell is unusually nasty.”
Hagen, coming down with documents, wrapped his nose and said.
“Ruela, next time, give me a heads up. It’s too embarrassing.”
Ruela reassured Hagen’s grumbling.
“I thought I heard the sound of horse hooves. I couldn’t delay. Still, I was lucky to meet a named monster and get the key.”
It was true. Meeting a named monster without any information. If she hadn’t thought of going to complete the related quest to acquire the gardening skill, she would never have encountered it.
“Well, it’s true, but…”
“You did well. It’s better than getting caught. Now, since we’re back sooner than expected, let’s wash up first and check the equipment status. If it’s okay, let’s finish the reorganization and go to the northeast area we were planning to go earlier.”
Everyone nodded at Kite’s words.
The time it took for them to teleport to the western village, complete the quest, defeat Asarnic, and return was not even two hours.
“I need to water the garden.”
“I want to take a look too.”
Since Ruela and Tien were far enough away and not splattered with the remains of the monster, there was no need for them to wash.
They removed only their caster cloaks, handed them to the onlookers, and immediately rushed out to the garden.
“Is this it?”
When Ruela took out a watering can from her bag and showed it, Tien examined it as if it were fascinating.
“The water keeps coming out without drying up. With this, I can water all the plants in this garden.”
As Ruela excitedly boasted, Tien’s expression suddenly became serious.
“Ruela, do you hear something? It seems like people are gathering in front of the main gate of our mansion.”
Stopping what she was doing, watering, Ruela asked when she saw Tien’s uneasy expression.
“Several people?”
“Yes, it’s about six.”
“Go inside and let them know who might have come. Put away things like equipment. They might not be welcome guests.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
