207 Are You Feeling Guilty, Xu Yuan?

Xu Yuan thought long and hard about it. It was tedious to use Demonic Dragon’s Blessing. He could have Su Wan use it next time if he gave her that ability.

As for him, he could just lie down and go to sleep while absorbing the experience points, he would get from Su Wan.

The plan was perfect!

However, he needed to verify his theory first. It was up to him to decide whether the ability he shared with someone was given temporarily or permanently. If by giving Su Wan the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing, the kills she committed by using it on the troops gained her the experience points, then it would be a win-win situation.

He would make some changes, of course. He would make it so that he would need to approve the use of the ability. Otherwise, Su Wan would use it on everything! This was because the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing had its limit. It could only be used a few times a day.

If Su Wan used it on every small monster she came across, then she would not have the advantage of it when an actual, formidable monster came about. And then, she would rely on him again!

Xu Yuan thought of a plan.

Su Wan was unaware that Xu Yuan had already calculated all the possibilities of her death in such a short time.

Although she didn’t know what exactly he was thinking about, she had seen that face before. Whenever Xu Yuan went quiet and serious, he would most likely be planning to trick somebody.

She felt a sense of hopelessness. “Why do I feel like you are going to trick me again?”

Xu Yuan shook his head.

Su Wan narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “Are you shaking your head to deny it? Are you perhaps feeling guilty? You have never bothered before.”

Whenever she had accused him before, Xu Yuan had neither acknowledged nor denied it. He always acted sheepish and innocent. Only later would she find out that he had indeed tricked her.

But now, she knew she was planning something, and she assumed he was shaking his head, trying to deny everything.

Su Wan was even more doubtful now. Xu Yuan had gone silent suddenly after she had laid down her condition. He was definitely planning something!

Xu Yuan tried to remedy the situation. “Do you want it or not?”

A few curt words were all he needed to shift the focus of her attention. This was his style, after all. If he started giving her all sorts of explanations, it would make her even more suspicious.

Su Wan was perplexed. She hesitated. Her suspicions wavered. She knew this was his plan. She was sure that he was planning to trick her. But she was curious about the ability she would get.

Su Wan gritted her teeth and accepted the situation as it was. Even if he tricked her, she had to find a way to accept it. “Yes. I want it,” she said. “Hurry and tell me which ability it is!”

Su Wan was afraid she would greatly regret her decision. She wanted the scroll to build something special. However, she also knew that irrespective of the deal, Xu Yuan would find a way to use the scroll to his own end no matter what she did. So, she decided getting a unique ability was more important than some random building that might not even work in her favor.

Xu Yuan swished his tail. “There is no hurry. Tell me what the third reward is.”

Su Wan was surprised. He didn’t seem interested in the rewards before.

Of course, Xu Yuan wasn’t interested in the rewards. But he pretended to be interested in it to stall for time.

People didn’t cherish the things they obtained easily. If he gave it to her so easily, Su Wan would think it was so easy and ask him for more of his abilities. If he pretended that he was very reluctant to give her his ability, she would be more likely to use it properly.

Even if the ability might have some limitations to it…

Xu Yuan was not certain what restrictions he should put on the ability before giving it to her. He began to lay the foundation to alter the ability.

Meanwhile, Su Wan saw him sitting far away in isolation. He looked like an old man reminiscing about his younger days.

Her suspicions disappeared. If he wanted to trick her, he wouldn’t look so forlorn. He was acting so evasive.

Su Wan felt that Xu Yuan was unwilling to give her an ability. She was afraid that Xu Yuan might decide it wasn’t worth it and wouldn’t trade with her at all.

After all, no matter how “special” the building of the scroll was, it might not compare to a powerful ability. However, if Xu Yuan didn’t give her an ability, she wouldn’t be able to use it!

Su Wan wanted to divert his attention. So, she told him about the third reward. She hadn’t read everything before because she had been too excited to share it with Xu Yuan.

“So… the third reward is a troop type,” she said. “It’s called Evil Eye.”

Su Wan was speechless. ‘What kind of troop type is this?’

She was happy to receive a new troop type, but this new troop was also of Dark-Type. She didn’t think Dark-Types were weak or anything, but they were gloomy and lifeless. She wanted her territory to be full of life and vitality. Instead, she kept getting Dark-Types that practically looked dead every time.

Su Wan had dreamed of a territory like Shi Linglong’s. Green, full of life, and open sky.

If not for Shi Linglong’s knack for attracting trouble every time, her territory was perfect.
