Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

"Long time no see, Xiaoyue." Jiuyue responded with a smile.

It seems that this person is Xiaoyue, the leader of the Yunlan Village Hunter Guild mentioned by Instructor Xiye before.

Unlike Rina who is lively and cute with twin ponytails, Xiaoyue, wearing a bathrobe-like outfit, gives people a sense of feminine beauty that is quiet and elegant.

And compared to Rina's attitude towards the instructor of Yunlan Village at that time, just as Xiye described, Xiaoyue is very gentle to everyone.

"It's been about three years, September. I didn't expect you to be alive (laughs)."

"Um... I'll look for Instructor Xiye."

"Can't you find this kind of thing yourself? Are your eyes just for show? Can't you see I'm busy? (laughs)"

?(???)? It seems like, apart from her smile, she isn't very gentle.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 63: I am a super handsome big brother?

Laugh~

Apart from the sweet smile, the answer was completely unrelated to gentleness.

Jiu Yue's brows were furrowed, and the ends of her eyebrows were raised: "When you say busy, do you mean eating tricolor dumplings here secretly?"

The criminal was caught red-handed. There were three balls in a string hidden behind the counter, and only the last half ball was left, and half a purple residue was stuck to the corner of Xiaoyue's mouth.

Xiaoyue's smile faded: "Alright, Instructor Xiye is going to Riko's house."

"Understood~"

"That's great, I can pet the cat ears." Xingjian was secretly happy.

Riko's house is not far from the guild, just two blocks away.

Xingjian was originally looking forward to seeing if the house where the cat girl lived would have any special features.

The result is just an ordinary house.

September knocks on the door.

The wooden door was slowly opened, and a little cat girl with yellow cat ears appeared at the door. She looked up at Xingjian and Jiuyue with a confused expression.

The puzzled expression caused the cat ears on his head to swing back and forth.

What an adorable creature!

Xingjian's pupils dilated at this moment.

"that……"

Before Jiu Yue could speak, the little cat girl suddenly turned around and ran into the door, shouting as she ran.

"Sister! There's a pretty sister and a super pretty sister outside the door, meow!"

"I am a pretty sister?" Jiu Yue pointed at herself.

Standing next to Xingjian, Jiuyue was quite self-aware and did not classify herself as super beautiful.

"Super pretty sister, do I know someone like that, meow?"

A familiar voice came from inside the house, and Riko was dragged to the door by a little cat-eared girl.

"Enko, let me correct you on one thing, meow." Riko's cat eyes widened as she locked eyes with Hoshimi and Jiuyue: "He's a super handsome big brother."

"Big brother?"

The cat girl called Encore looked even more confused. But then, as if she suddenly remembered something, a light bulb lit up in her head and she raised her arm and pointed at Hoshimi.

"Oh, that's the handsome older brother that Wu Ren likes!"

"Meow! Anke, if you say that, my gossip will be exposed, meow!" Liko suddenly felt something was wrong.

Two seconds later, another familiar voice was heard in the house.

"Liko, what nonsense did you say to Anko?!"

Wu Ren rushed out in anger, but was stunned when he saw Xing Jian outside the door.

The angry expression slowly dissipated, replaced by a feeling of helplessness and embarrassment.

"Um, um, it's been a few days since I last saw you. Xingjian, um, and Jiuyue. Why did you two suddenly come to Yunlan Village?"

"I also want to ask, why did you, Takehito, go to Riko's house?" Jiuyue said.

"Grandma is sick, and I'm afraid I can't take care of her by myself, so I brought her to Riko's house and asked Riko's mother to help take care of her. I can also go out and look for Yuexian Xuelian."

"Oh, yes, Moon-appearing Snow Lotus, does it work?" Xingjian asked with concern.

"Well, the effect is very good. Grandma is much better now." When Wu Ren mentioned the Moon-appearing Snow Lotus, he thought of the three major illusions of his life on the snow-capped mountains, and his expression became even more embarrassed.

"Can we go in and talk? It's weird standing outside the door." Jiu Yue suggested, "Master is here too, right?"

"Master is sleeping. She was busy until very late last night." Wu Ren reminded: "Do you really want to go in? Grandma is here too."

Wu Ren's grandmother was known for her dislike of Yunxue Village. Even at her advanced age, she would often join in the fights between villagers on both sides, battling bloody battles with a broom in hand.

"Let them both in." The old woman's hoarse voice came from inside the house: "I'm not so stubborn as to be prejudiced against those who have done me a favor."

"Since Grandma Takehito has said so, please come in, meow."

The room was furnished with simple furniture, a stove burning in the middle for heating, and Grandma Wu Ren was lying on a bed against the wall.

Liko's parents went out to work during the day, so at this time of the day, only her younger sister Anko was left at home.

In order to take care of grandma, Takehito and Riko did not go to the Hunter's Guild to take on the mission today, but chose to stay at home.

Sitting on the tatami mat warmed by the stove is quite comfortable.

Anke seemed to be very interested in Xingjian. Without asking too many questions, she sat in Xingjian's arms very familiarly, looking up from bottom to top at this wonderful face she had never seen before.

Xingjian was of course very happy too, as such a cute little cat girl took the initiative to crawl into his arms and let him touch her ears.

It completely cured Xingjian's accumulated fatigue in recent days.

"Meow?" Riko stared at her sister, who had thrown herself into his arms. "What's with this feeling of being out of favor? Meow!"

"You must be Xingjian." Grandma Wu Ren, supported by Wu Ren, sat up from the bed. "I've heard about everything you did in the snowy mountains from Wu Ren. Thank you very much for the expedition and the snow lotus."

It's easy to imagine that Wu Ren's version of the story omitted the part about encountering Gu Long. After all, the old couple had a weak heart, or perhaps no one would believe it if he told it.

"No, this is what I...should do." Although she received the thanks, Xingjian still had a hint of apology on her face.

It was indeed what he should do. After all, the incident was caused by him. The old woman in front of him was frightened by Xingjian's transformation.

However, only Xingjian himself knew about this matter.

In the eyes of others, this is a manifestation of Xingjian's noble character.

Even Grandma Wu, who always hated Yunxue Village, was moved and secretly praised: "What a good child! I wish she could be my granddaughter-in-law. It's a pity it's a boy."

Wu Ren said, "Master is still snoring. If you have something urgent, do you want to wake her up?"

In fact, Xingjian had already heard the mysterious noise coming from the guest room next door. It turned out to be Instructor Xiye's snoring.

"Let the master rest a little longer." Even if it's delayed for more than ten minutes, it won't make it easier for you to escape from the dragons. "I just have a chance. I want to ask Grandma Wu something."

Jiu Yue had long wanted to ask the elders in the village about this matter. It would be best if she started with the elders other than the two village heads.

Considering Grandma Wu Ren's extreme disgust towards Yunxue Village, she must know something.

Grandma Wu nodded and said, "Although you are from Yunxue Village, Jiuyue, I, the old woman, will repay your kindness. Please feel free to ask."

"Grandma Wu, do you know Li Yi?"

"!!!"

Unexpectedly, Jiuyue would suddenly mention this name. Hoshimi, Riko, and Takehito all looked at Jiuyue in surprise.

Grandma Wu Ren's reaction was beyond surprise and she showed incredible shock.

"Why do you know this name?" Grandma Wu Ren opened her eyes wide in surprise.

As expected, Wu Ren didn't dare tell his grandmother about the anomaly inside the snow mountain and Xing Jian's instant kill of Gu Long. Therefore, Wu Ren didn't mention the notes left by Li Yi.

Before this, Jiu Yue had always felt that this matter was nothing to worry about. Especially now that a hundred dragons were about to attack, inexplicably mentioning matters related to the Snow Mountain Ancient Dragon would only cause unnecessary confusion.

But after seeing the cannon barrel hanging behind the village chief's house, Jiu Yue thought of another possibility and confirmed it with Liuli.

"Grandma Wu, you really do know this person. I want to know about Li Yi's past. Even if it's just a little bit of information."

"Li Yi... Li Yi..."

She kept repeating the name, and suddenly tears appeared on Grandma Wu Ren's old cheeks.

"I didn't expect to hear Li Yi's name again after so many years. Li Yi, she used to be my best friend."

Chapter 64: Li Yi's Life Story

"Hey, do you have a dream, Yuuki?"

"No, no. How about you, Liyi?"

"My dream is to create an invention that can protect the village forever!"

That was the first time I felt that a person’s back could be so great.

……

My best friend Li Yi is not from Yunlan Village, nor is she from Yunxue Village.

Li Yi's life experience is somewhat special.

You probably know that there is a not very wide river between Yunlan Village and Yunxue Village.

Li Yi was fished out of that river by passing villagers.

To describe it in modern terms, it was an abandoned baby, placed in a cradle made of driftwood and floated down the river.

But unlike those abandoned babies who cried desperately after being thrown away, according to the adults' description at the time, Li Yi smiled like an angel when she was fished out.

She was so optimistic and cheerful, even from infancy.

Since Li Yi was discovered by villagers from two villages at the same time, people from both villages wanted to adopt her.

After arguing for several times without reaching a conclusion, the village chiefs on both sides had no choice but to come up with a special solution.

Li Yi was raised by both Yunxue Village and Yunlan Village.

Thinking back carefully now, Li Yi at that time seemed to have become the bond between the two villages.

Li Yi, a lovely angel, was like the common daughter of all the villagers at that time, bringing the two villages, which had originally had ordinary relations, together.

Yunlan Village and Yunxue Village have such a good relationship because of Li Yi that they hold the harvest celebration banquet together every year.

Moreover, the sons of the village chiefs on both sides are childhood sweethearts of Li Yi.

As Li Yi's best female friend, I can see that those two guys are interested in Li Yi.

However, Li Yi never thinks about the relationship between men and women.

Li Yi is a genius. Her intelligence is beyond ordinary people.

He learned to read at the age of one, began to draw at the age of three, and started to study card making technology at the age of five.

Before he was ten years old, his skills surpassed those of most card makers in the two villages.

Since she was twelve years old, Li Yi has been studying how to improve the weapons used in hunting, increase the hunting efficiency of the village hunters, and reduce hunting casualties.

At the age of fifteen, Li Yi seemed to have made a resolution: to create a weapon for the village that would never be threatened or invaded by monsters.

At the same time, that is also Li Yi's unfulfilled dream.

When she was seventeen, Li Yi lost contact in the snowy mountains during a hunting trip and never returned.

……

When she said this, Grandma Wu Ren’s face was filled with grief.
