…
"Victoria? The Dragon Tamer Duke of England?" Wang Feng asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's it!" Lingling nodded, her small face full of excitement.
"Aren't they a noble family in England? Why would they hire people to explore Dragon Valley?" Wang Feng asked with some surprise.
"The reason is simple. The environment of Dragon Valley changes every few years, and the location of the dragon nests changes with it," Lingling explained, a hint of seriousness in her tone.
"So every few years, the Victoria Family hires Hunter Master teams to help them explore the location of the dragon nests, making it convenient for them to collect dragon eggs later."
Lingling added, "Furthermore, there is specialization in every field. Although the Victoria Family is a great noble family, Dragon Valley is very large. Relying solely on their family's mages to explore it might not even be finished in a year and a half. Therefore, spending a little 'small money' to hire a professional hunter team to explore is the most cost-effective option for them."
"Aren't they afraid that the teams who go in will steal the dragon eggs?" Wang Feng raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not," Lingling shook her head, her tone certain.
"Firstly, stealing dragon eggs will incur the hostility of all dragon species in Dragon Valley. In the past, there were some teams who didn't believe in evil and, relying on their strong power, secretly stole dragon eggs from the dragon nests. As a result, they were targeted by all the miscellaneous dragons, pseudo-dragons, and sub-dragons in the entire Dragon Valley. Finally, even an Emperor-level giant dragon appeared and directly annihilated them!"
"Are there true dragons in Dragon Valley?"
"That's unclear. It's rumored to be so, but it's probably true," Lingling spread her hands.
"After all, the predecessor of England was the Land of Dragons, until King Arthur appeared and ended the rule of the evil dragons, driving all the dragons into Dragon Valley."
"And King Arthur is the ancestor of the Dragon Tamer Duke's residence!"
Wang Feng nodded upon hearing this, saying thoughtfully, "No wonder the Victoria Family is so generous, with a commission of three hundred million for one team."
"So, do you want to accept it?" Lingling blinked her big eyes, her tone full of anticipation.
"Well, you should ask your sister if she agrees first," Wang Feng shrugged and said.
Upon hearing this, Lingling's expression froze, and her gaze fell on Cold Green. Cold Green was standing with her arms crossed, a half-smile on her face, clearly having been waiting for this moment.
"Sister~" Lingling called out in a spoiled tone, her voice soft and sweet, with a hint of pleading.
This was the first time Wang Feng had seen her in such a posture, and he immediately watched the two sisters with great interest.
"I don't care about ordinary commissions, but what kind of place is Dragon Valley? You still want to go?" Cold Green retorted.
"This…" Lingling was a bit speechless, but exploration had always been her dream, so she immediately said with some defiance, "Dragon Valley is dangerous, but that's for novices! I'm an experienced Master-level hunter!"
"What's more, over the years, as long as teams follow the rules when entering Dragon Valley, they can return safely. This also shows that Dragon Valley is not as dangerous as imagined!"
"Most importantly, I have Wang Feng! With him here, we will definitely be able to earn three hundred million and return safely!"
Wang Feng's mouth twitched when Lingling dragged him into it, but he didn't refute.
After all, three hundred million was indeed tempting, and the minimum requirement to accept this mission was to be a Hunter Master.
Hunter Masters were usually an achievement that only some veteran High-level or even Super-level mages could reach.
If he was lucky, he might even gain some practical talents, Soul Seeds, or even Transcendental Power during this journey!
"Senior Sister, just agree to Lingling. With me here, I definitely won't let anything happen to her," Wang Feng patted his chest and said.
Cold Green sighed helplessly upon hearing Wang Feng's words and finally relented, "Alright, but you must listen to Wang Feng and not venture into dangerous places out of curiosity!"
"Mm, mm!" Lingling nodded repeatedly, looking obedient and well-behaved, but her eyes sparkled with excitement.
…
Since there was more than a month until the commission began, Wang Feng decided to return to Pearl Institute first and wait for their departure.
When he returned to his dormitory, he saw a quiet, graceful figure standing in front of his door from afar.
The woman was slender and graceful, with a conflicted expression on her face and her eyes shifting uncertainly.
"Yu Mian, you're here?" Wang Feng smiled and quickly walked over.
Over the past month, Ding Yu Mian had come to him almost every week, asking him to help weave dreams.
After several interactions, their relationship had gradually become familiar.
"Mm." Ding Yu Mian looked up, and upon seeing Wang Feng, her originally fair cheeks flushed slightly.
Wang Feng opened the dormitory door and walked in, and Ding Yu Mian followed him.
"Still the usual dream?"
"Mm, thank you for your trouble."
She skillfully took off her shoes, walked to the bed, and gently lay down.
She clasped her hands over her flat stomach, then slowly closed her eyes, her expression full of trust and relaxation.
Wang Feng walked to the bedside, his hands glowing with a faint milky white light, and said softly, "Relax, leave it to me."
As his words fell, a gentle mental force slowly enveloped Ding Yu Mian.
Her breathing gradually became steady, a serene expression appeared on her face, and she entered a sweet dream.
"The more I look, the more she resembles Sleeping Beauty," Wang Feng looked at the sleeping Ding Yu Mian, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curving upwards.
…
About half an hour later, Ding Yu Mian slowly woke up from her dream.
"Yu Mian, awake?"
Ding Yu Mian opened her eyes, her gaze meeting Wang Feng's, and her face immediately flushed.
She quickly sat up from the bed, somewhat flustered as she tidied the hem of her clothes.
"Um… sorry to bother you, I'll be leaving now," she said in a low voice, with a hint of haste.
After speaking, she quickly walked towards the door, almost fleeing Wang Feng's dormitory.
Wang Feng watched her back disappear outside the door, and he rubbed his chin in confusion.
"Strange, why does Senior Sister seem a bit off today?"
Meanwhile, Ding Yu Mian stopped at the corner of the dormitory building, her right hand gently pressed against her chest, feeling her accelerated heartbeat.
Her cheeks were still crimson, and the scene from her dream just now kept replaying in her mind.
"Why… why was he in my dream today?" she murmured softly, her voice filled with confusion and shyness.
…
One month later.
England, Dragon Valley entrance.
Below the high platform, a young girl with an extraordinary temperament stood quietly.
She was dressed in a Victorian-style long gown with layers of ruffles.
Her golden hair cascaded like a waterfall, shimmering dazzlingly in the sunlight.
And her golden eyes were like deep amber, revealing a hint of mystery and nobility.
