Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

The scene of them playing and frolicking was truly magnificent, surrounded by beautiful dragons, with cherry blossoms in full bloom, a splendid and lively atmosphere, and breathtaking beauty... Even Chen Yan couldn't help but stop and admire it.

"The quality of the Pink Rathian is quite high this year; no wonder those Rathalos below are fighting tooth and nail over it..."

Seemingly noticing Chen Yan, this non-dragon intruder, the five Pink Rathian dragons all turned to look at him, their gazes filled with doubt, scrutiny, curiosity, and joy...

They growled at him repeatedly, and Chen Yan waved back.

Flower Cat's mind wasn't on the Pink Rathian; it had spotted the group of forest lynxes in the corner long ago and eagerly dragged Dome over to join the fun.

Flower Cat had a clever plan. Since it lacked charm on its own, it would use the lynx's worship and praise to artificially boost its appeal. After all, there weren't many creatures in the Old and New Worlds that could defeat the legendary ancient dragon, Ao Tu Na.

Duo Miao wasn't really interested. It was just Ao Tu Na, and she still beat her up and threw her back to the godforsaken Xia Kouluo Island.

But when it heard that Chen Yan really liked a little beauty from the lynx pack, it became interested again. It wanted to see what that little beauty was capable of that made Chen Yan look at her differently. If it learned her skills, hehehehe...

Flower Cat and Dome Cat hopped and skipped into the lynx pack one after the other.

A cluster of golden bubbles quietly appeared.

[Sakura's Fire Dragon issues a quest: I'm standing right in front of you, how much do I resemble my former self?]

Love is not a frenzied rush, but a steadfast choice. Please use your heart to find me.

[Compensation for the Commission: A beauty that could topple kingdoms / A valiant and skilled warrior / The fiery blaze of gold and silver / The blessing of the ancestor of all dragons]

Chen Yan was stunned.

"This silly little dragon..."

He slowly walked towards the five fire dragons, and under their gazes that held different meanings, he unhesitatingly hugged one of them tightly.

The feigned unfamiliarity in the eyes of the embraced Sakura Rathalos vanished, replaced by pure joy. It knew that Chen Yan would recognize it!

Just as she was about to have a long-awaited intimate moment with him, the image of the sleeping velociraptor that had stolen her home inexplicably appeared in her mind. It huffed twice in anger and then carefully nudged Chen Yan away.

Under Chen Yan's puzzled gaze, the several Pink Rathian dragons spread their wings and enveloped him.

As they roared in unison, the five pink fire dragons, with identical skin color, similar body shape, and similar scent, began to circle around Chen Yan.

The graceful and magnificent dragon dance truly resembled a beautiful cherry blossom slowly blooming atop the ancient forest.

As the dance stopped, the five pink fire dragons lowered their heads and looked at Chen Yan at the same time. They closed their eyes slightly and covered their bodies with their wings. This time, the exposed parts of their bodies were almost identical.

This was clearly a difficult problem set for him by a mischievous little Charizard.

The little fire dragon, now feigning a different expression, looked at Chen Yan with great anticipation. If he could recognize her again, it would reluctantly forgive him.

Even if... even if... even if it's leftovers from eating a Nargacuga, it can accept it!

After pretending to be stupid for a long time, Chen Yan frowned and rubbed his hands, remaining motionless for a long time, as if he really couldn't recognize it. Little Sakura Fire Dragon felt wronged. Could it be that Chen Yan really couldn't recognize it?

It wasn't until Chen Yan laughed out loud, walked closer, and gently cupped its drooping cheeks.

"You're still so naive. Even if I had to search for you among five Pink Rathian, or even among a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand, I could spot you instantly. Don't underestimate me..."

Overjoyed, Xiaoying Fire Dragon burst into tears. Before Chen Yan could finish speaking, she pounced on him, showering him with kisses, hugs, and lifting him high in the air like a madwoman.

She really, really, really misses him.

The mission was successfully completed, making it the easiest one ever.

[Task completed.]

【King of Valiant Warriors】: You become brave and powerful, skilled in combat. When you fight alongside it, 【King of Valiant Warriors】temporarily changes to 【God of Valor】, with its effect greatly enhanced.

A massive amount of warm energy, comparable to completing an ancient dragon quest, gathered in his body. Without Chen Yan's control, it obediently waited for the moment when it was needed.

The Pink Rathalos sisters breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; they had finally completed their mission and could now go on their blind dates...

With the troublesome dragon gone, Chen Yan emerged from the wings of the little fire dragon, responding to its licks while looking at its battered scales with heartache.

This little guy has suffered a lot...

The two remained silent for a long time, simply embracing tightly, until Sakura's Rathalos caught a glimpse of a troublesome cow-patterned cat running towards them, its expression indignant, seemingly the same as when it discovered Nargacuga stealing its base.

It didn't want anyone to disturb its reunion with Chen Yan.

Even cats won't do it.

And so, a scene that broke the hearts of countless Rathalos and Azure Rathalos unfolded.

That peerless dragon, as beautiful as a celestial being banished from heaven, carried that peerless beauty, as ethereal as a celestial being, and flew away with its wings spread...

The dozen or so fire dragons, unable to withstand the onslaught, immediately collapsed, their vision going black. Following the "Lame and Crooked Mouth" legion, a new legion was formed; let's call it the "Heartbroken" legion...

A step too slow, Duo Miao leaped up as if to fly and snatch Chen Yan back, but it forgot that it had no wings now, only a body of fat and black and white fur, and could only helplessly watch the pair of "dog-human-dragons" leave.

The more it thought about it, the angrier it became, and the angrier it became, the more it thought about it. Finally, it roared in fury, realizing it had been careless! It had been so careless!

I thought that little lynx cat had used some kind of trick to win Chen Yan's favor, but it turns out she just relied on her beauty... How can it learn from that?

Especially upon hearing the Pink Rathian's triumphant roar, its detestability skyrocketed in Dome's mind, quickly becoming comparable to the Black Horned Dragon on her kill list.

Duo Miao watched the departing figures of the man and the dragon with a burning hatred in her teeth. Sooner or later, she would make Chen Yan ride in front of them!

...

The little cat's face was contorted as it looked at the lynxes around it, meowing and complaining.

"You mean, recently a lightning dragon has been harassing you, not only injuring many of your people, but also stealing your food and even taking over your nest?"

This does fit the character design of the electric dragon quite well.

They are extremely ferocious carnivorous monsters that will prey on any living thing that comes into their sight, and even have the bad habit of actively invading the territory of other monsters and occupying it.

But why would it steal the territory of a group of weak lynxes when it doesn't steal from other monsters?

Surely it's not because they have dragon scales stuck to their heads...

Amidst the hopeful gazes of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, Hua Miao immediately patted its chest. It and Chen Yan accepted this task... By the way, where is Chen Yan?

Chapter 197 A vast sky cannot give birth to narrow love

Duo Miao and Hua Miao craned their necks until they ached, but the person and dragon flying in the sky refused to come down no matter what.

Sakura's dragon seemed to be demonstrating its superb flying skills, sometimes flying belly-down, sometimes belly-up, sometimes sideways to the left, sometimes sideways to the right...

Its scales, feathers, wing spines... every inch of its body, seemingly made by nature, produces different melodies when it brushes against the wind, and when it flies into the clouds, the music becomes more exciting.

When the dragon's shadow emerged from the clouds again, the music returned to its steady and elegant melody, like a top-tier band from the Old World that cost ten gold coins—a truly heavenly harmony, perfectly complementing each other...

"How dare they hide in the sky and eat fish! They didn't even take me with them! They know I love fish the most!"

Not only did the flower cat fly into a rage, but even the big and little dragons crouching under the dragon's nest went berserk for no apparent reason. They let out heartbreaking howls one after another, adding more accompaniment to the soundtrack, before finally scattering in all directions.

If we delay any longer, we'll be delaying their own important business.

...

As the sun set, Chen Yan lay on the back of the little fire dragon, enjoying the gentle evening breeze, feeling its smooth and slow descent, listening to the panicked cries of the mushroom pig, and eating the perfectly roasted pork leg offered to him...

Life should be as simple as it is.

As the last rays of light lingered on the horizon, Chen Yan sat up, stretched comfortably, and remained perched on its neck, which was now much wider and larger than before.

"Let's go, we should go home."

The little dragon's originally joyful eyes suddenly dimmed. It took off hesitantly, flew slowly towards the warehouse, and circled slowly above the wooden hut.

Finally, it reluctantly landed in front of the wooden nest made of logs.

Chen Yan jumped off it and took a look, only to find that it was neither the dragon's nest on the treetop nor the dormitory of the stronghold, but the cat's den where Xunmiao was kept.

Just as he was about to turn around in confusion to ask Sakura Fire Dragon why it had brought him here, he saw it push him with eyes full of grievance, pitifulness, and sorrow, pushing him onto the black, furry creature in the wooden nest.

It's already quite content; it's time to return Chen Yan to it...

The fuzzy, dark creature, half-asleep, thought its daily canned food had arrived and opened its mouth to bite. If Chen Yan hadn't reacted quickly, it might have lost an arm...

Xunmiao missed its target, opened one eye and saw Chen Yan, then turned its head back to sleep, completely ignoring him.

When Chen Yan tried to pet it, Xunmiao swatted him away with its tail, showing no sense of boundaries.

When it was young and naive, it was easily fooled by Chen Yan with a few cheap cans of food. But since it started being fed Naomi, it has learned what the happiness of the wealthy truly means...

Having become completely "loyal," it had transformed into Naomi's Swift Cat from the inside out. As for Chen Yan, he'd better hurry up and climb away, or Naomi might see him and misunderstand...

Chen Yan shook his head helplessly; Xunmiao only recognizes canned food, not people...

Little Sakura's Fire Dragon witnessed the whole thing, and only now did it realize that this Nargacuga had nothing to do with Chen Yan at all!

It knew that Chen Yan liked it the most!

Little Sakura Fire Dragon was overjoyed, jumping around so much that it almost knocked down the pile of logs. It excitedly picked up Chen Yan and flew towards the dragon's nest at the top of the tree. Huh, how come it suddenly has strength again?

Starry Sky Base, Chen Yan's dormitory.

Inside the house, the cat curiously rummaged through this and looked at that, turning the house upside down. It would occasionally tilt its head back and meow to itself, gesturing with its paws as if it were memorizing something in the air.

As for the various rare treasures displayed by Flower Cat, it didn't even glance at them. What trash! Only the ancient dragon jade hidden in that dilapidated wooden hut behind the stronghold was worth its attention...

Footsteps sounded outside, but before Duo Miao could hop over to see if Chen Yan had returned, the door was pushed open.

Harley, who was quite drunk, had obviously forgotten where her room was again. She went inside, casually tossed her shoes and socks aside, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep, not forgetting to hug the adorable Dome as a pillow.

Naomi followed closely behind, looking helpless. She scolded Harley for sleeping everywhere, but in reality, she only took half a second to see what was going on inside the room.

Chen Yan is not here.

She casually tossed a large bag of gold coins to Hua Miao, all the money from selling materials. Hua Miao weighed the bag in her hand and was shocked – how could it be so light!

Then, it angrily began to settle accounts with Naomi, but the more it calculated, the fewer gold coins it had in its pocket. Until it clutched its last gold coin, crying and shouting, it was still mercilessly taken away, and it lay down on the ground, completely despondent.

As expected of a ruthless person from the underground black market of the Old World, his calculations are incredibly ruthless!

Harley's purring, Dome's disgusted moans, Flower Cat's wailing, Naomi's laughter...

Outside the dormitory, Azure Star's hand hovered in front of the door. He had been holding this position for a long time, so long that Luna, the fully armed Palico behind him, couldn't help but pat him with her paw.

"Didn't we agree that we'd be fighting the toughest battle ever? Why aren't we heading outside? Why are we coming to Chen Yan's dorm instead?"

Azure Star did not respond, but its gaze grew even deeper, as if it could see through the door. Dome, who was half asleep leaning against Harley's leg, was startled and suddenly bristled.

It turned its head to look at the door, its eyes flashing with light, its sharp vertical pupils seemingly able to see through the door.

Just as the man and the cat were staring at each other through the door, a dragon shadow suddenly swooped down from mid-air, lightly touched the ground for a few seconds, and then sprang up again. The movement was smooth and the man was dismembered quickly. However, Chen Yan, whose legs were weak, staggered a few times and almost fell to the ground.
