Chapter 138: Chapter 98: She’s Just Here to Ruin My Dao Heart

"A defense spell, 15 gold pounds, so 30 gold pounds... An attack spell, hmm, 50 gold pounds? And with the other one, I’m still 20 gold pounds short..."

Wei’en looked at the items on the list, frowning in thought. It seemed his only option was to make a trip to the Nightmare Realm World first.

’Hmm, no need to rush learning to make new Magic Potions. I’ll start by exchanging for some materials to craft the Enlightenment Potion.’

No sooner said than done. Now that he had advanced to Advanced Wizard Apprentice, there was no need to hide his abilities anymore.

He directly used the blue and white box to exchange for 50 portions of materials for the Enlightenment Potion from the Ghost Soul School.

’Fifteen shillings a portion, and a perfect-grade one can sell for 3 gold pounds—that’ll be enough!’

Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to make them all into perfect-grade Magic Potions. Instead, he crafted them in a 1:1:3 ratio, with most being excellent-grade.

This time, he also wouldn’t sell them all at once. He needed to keep some of the perfect-grade ones for his own use.

It took Wei’en nearly two hours to finish crafting the 50 Enlightenment Potions.

Among them, 10 vials were fine-grade, 10 were excellent-grade, and 30 were perfect-grade... If he kept 15 vials for himself, the remaining Magic Potions should sell for over 60 gold pounds.

’This is the steady and safe way to do things.’

BOOM.

As the thunder roared, a bolt of lightning tore across the night sky, looking as if it would shatter the glow of the red moon.

Hm?

Wei’en turned his head to look, and his breath caught. His eyes widened, as if he had just seen something unbelievable.

There, under the hazy red moonlight outside his window, a colossal monster emerged from the depths of the gray fog, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Countless tentacles swirled, twisted, and stretched out, looking as if they were about to devour the entire city-state.

"Wh-what is that?"

[You have gazed upon the Deep Sea Giant Beast Rashim. Your origin is about to mutate. Evaluation: Close your eyes! Special Reward: Spirit Level +1.]

[Note 1: The Deep Sea Giant Beast Rashim is a massive and bizarre mutant, an overlord of the deep seas that possesses the ability to alter the ocean and the weather.]

[Note 2: The Deep Sea Giant Beast Rashim detests being watched. It will usually choose to blind any observers.]

Before Wei’en could react, he felt his head being slammed to the ground. A flirtatious chiding came from behind him, "How dare you stare directly at that monster? Do you have a death wish?"

"Cl-Clelia?" Wei’en sat on the floor, clutching his head as he looked at the newcomer. "Y-you, why are you here again?"

Clelia plopped down into a nearby chair and casually crossed her legs. "Is this any way to treat a lady who just saved your life?"

’Pink. Definitely pink...’ 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Wei’en was sure he had seen it clearly. She, just like him, had chosen to go commando today. ’What is this vixen trying to do?’

"Hey, hey, why aren’t you talking?" Clelia asked, looking at his dazed expression. "Don’t tell me your eyes were gouged out, were they?"

"N-no."

Wei’en snapped back to his senses and quickly pulled the curtains shut, not daring to glance outside again.

"I thought you were just pretending before, but now I believe it. You really don’t know much about common sense."

"Ah, well, thank you for saving me just now."

"Now that’s more like it~"

Clelia touched her damp clothes, a look of disgust on her face. "The rain in Caster always has a fishy, salty smell. It’s so gross."

"..."

Wei’en looked at Clelia, who seemed just like any ordinary woman... and at the area under her rain-soaked dress...

"Y-you, why don’t you go take a shower first? The bathroom is right next door."

"Oh? In that case, I’ll borrow it for a bit. We can talk later."

Watching Clelia sway her hips as she left the workshop, Wei’en quickly took a deep breath and adjusted his sitting position. It had been just a moment away from becoming obvious.

Wei’en forced himself to think about the Deep Sea Giant Beast he had just seen, its ugly image instantly banishing Clelia’s figure from his mind and allowing him to suppress his turbulent emotions.

’Seriously, why is she here again?’

’And she’s so damn bold, too. She’s clearly here to destroy my spiritual focus!’

’I hope she leaves soon, or my plans for tonight will be ruined...’

Before long, Clelia finished her shower. She had changed into a clean, even shorter skirt and walked over, bringing a fresh fragrance with her.

"I never expected a Wizard Apprentice from the Ghost Soul School to be so different from the others. Besides that little zombie, you don’t have any other disgusting things here."

Wei’en’s expression returned to normal. "What are the other apprentices like, then?"

"Hmm," Clelia mused, "they’re filthy, smell like rotting corpses, and have gloomy faces..."

"In that case, I’d say you don’t seem like a member of the Eternal Life Association as described by the Secret Investigation Department..."

The moment the words left his mouth, Wei’en regretted them. Didn’t that sound a bit like he was trying to curry favor?

"Is that so? I’ll take that as a compliment."

"Do you have a reason for coming over so late? It’s been less than a day, so I haven’t started investigating that matter you mentioned."

Clelia sat down next to him, a pitiful expression appearing on her beautiful face. "This time, I really am here to stay with you for a while..."

Wei’en: "..."

’Yep, it’s confirmed. She’s definitely here to destroy my spiritual focus!’

PS: This is a two-in-one Chapter to make up for two I owed. I still owe everyone one bonus Chapter from the subscription goal and one from the monthly ticket goal.

Boohoo, I’m tempted to raise the monthly ticket goal for bonus Chapters next month.
