Chapter 1077 Arrogant and Overbearing

Zhao Qingya’s assistant entered and briefed her on the progress of the quest.

“Has the report arrived?” Zhao Qingya inquired.

“Yes,” the assistant confirmed. “I encountered both Hu Zhan and Lu Yu upon their return. The quest wasn’t a complete success—they couldn’t eliminate the enemy. However, they did manage to injure them, forcing a retreat. If the enemy chooses to withdraw now, they’re unlikely to return for a considerable time.”

Zhao Qingya nodded in understanding. “I see. While we haven’t definitively assessed his true potential, this can still be considered a mission accomplished. ”

A disdainful sneer contorted Li Tianen’s face at these words.

“Is chasing the enemy away considered completing a quest?” he scoffed. “The objective was to eliminate the invading threat. Just driving them off hardly qualifies as success.”

“Such a task could be downgraded or even reassigned to a group of hunters. All we need to do is send a message—Skyplume City is aware of their presence, and they’ll be wise enough to flee.”

“So, does this constitute quest completion?” he pressed further.

Zhao Qingya offered a helpless shrug. “I suppose it barely passes. He’ll receive his appropriate reward, and I’ll assign him another quest to gauge his abilities.”

“That Lu Yu fellow, right? There’s no need for further testing. This quest alone makes his limitations abundantly clear. His strength simply isn’t sufficient.” “Don’t make hasty judgments,” Zhao Qingya cautioned. “We’ll wait and see.”

Li Tianen shook his head in exasperation. “Miss Zhao, why not allow me to handle this quest? I’ll track down the enemy and deliver a decisive blow. Escape won’t be an option for them.”

“That wouldn’t be ideal. If word gets out that you’ve taken over the quest, it wouldn’t look good.’

“What’s the harm? I’ll keep a close eye on this situation. If I locate the enemy, I won’t hesitate to engage them directly.” He declared confidently.

“Unfortunately, I currently lack their whereabouts. For now, I can only wait. The moment we have a lead, inform me immediately, and I’ll set off.”

A confident smile played on his lips.

Zhao Qingya offered a helpless nod. “Alright then, I appreciate your assistance.

Eradicating this threat entirely would be a boon to Skyplume City’s safety.” Over in the corner of the room, Hu Zhan chuckled as he leaned towards Lu Yu.

“It seems he underestimated you, Lu Yu.”

“Maybe he’s just trying to show off for Zhao Qingya.”

Hu Zhan shook his head. “No. Zhao Qingya’s a few years older than him. Sure, she’s still attractive and has a great figure, but… Li Tianen’s surrounded by beautiful women.

“Didn’t you notice? When Li Tianen was boasting about completing the quest, his eyes were glued to Zhao Qingya. Her reaction mattered to him, not anyone else’s. It’s so obvious, and you still deny it?”

Hu Zhan couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this. “From what you’re saying, it seems you’re right.”

He stole a curious glance at the pair.

“I should head over now and report on the quest.”

“Wait… what if you get into a fight with Li Tianen?” Hu Zhan stammered, a hint of fear creeping into his voice.

“No worries, there won’t be a fight. Don’t fret; I know my limits, unless he deliberately provokes me.”

With that, Lu Yu emerged from the crowd and approached Zhao Qingya.

A surprised smile lit up Zhao Qingya’s face as she noticed Lu Yu approaching.

“Lu Yu, you’re here? When did you arrive? If I’d known, I would’ve definitely come to greet you.”

Lu Yu waved dismissively. “No need for formalities. I’m here to report on the quest.”

Just then, Li Tianen materialized between them, effectively blocking Lu Yu’s path. A disingenuous smile played on his lips as he addressed Lu Yu. “You must be Lu Yu, right?”

“We’re already aware of the quest’s outcome. There’s no need to embellish the details,” he asserted, completely disregarding Lu Yu. His bravado was palpable, and Lu Yu wasn’t oblivious to the source.

“You failed the quest; you completely failed.”

Testosterone was clearly coursing through Li Tianen’s veins, a desperate attempt to impress the woman he fancied.

Lu Yu remained unfazed. “I’m simply reporting on the quest’s completion. It doesn’t concern you.” He nudged Li Tianen aside and approached Zhao Qingya. “During this mission, I discovered the enemy’s lair, where they unleashed magical creatures.”

“However, it wasn’t a mere beast, but a dragon.”

Zhao Qingya’s brow furrowed. “A dragon? Are you certain?”

“Absolutely,” Lu Yu confirmed. “We exchanged blows for a few rounds. While I managed to injure the creature, its owner intervened and facilitated their escape. Their escape methods were numerous, so pursuit was futile.”

Li Tianen interjected with a cold sneer, “So, you’re admitting you couldn’t catch them?”

Ignoring him, Zhao Qingya pressed on. “What kind of dragon was it?” “A Venomous Dragon,” Lu Yu replied.

“A Venomous Dragon?!” Zhao Qingya’s expression morphed into one of concern. “What’s their plan? To use poison?”

Lu Yu offered a curt nod. “Indeed. Venomous Dragons are capable of producing Venom Ball Bombs. Upon detonation, they release a noxious cloud of poisonous fog laced with venom.”

Anxiety etched itself into Zhao Qingya’s features. “That’s a dire situation! Skyplume City is sprawling with a dense population. Buildings and people are packed together. If even a few of those bombs were detonated, the consequences would be…unimaginable!”

Shifting her gaze back to Lu Yu, she offered a grateful nod. “Thank you for driving them away. The dragon’s strength is undeniable. An ordinary warrior wouldn’t stand a chance. Only a Dragon Knight or a Dragon Trainer with a powerful dragon at their side could overpower a Venomous Dragon.”

“Therefore, I consider this quest a success. After all, the mission’s objective was to neutralize the threat to the city.”

Lu Yu acknowledged her assessment with a slight nod.

“Very well. Let me award you the badge.”

Li Tianen bristled at this declaration. “Absolutely not! He didn’t complete the quest!” he roared in protest..
