Chapter 955: Chapter 471: Big Sister Black Dragon Joins, Are You the Child of Me and Little Red? (4k)

The woman slightly furrowed her brows and halted.

Her gaze swept over Florecia and her maid, looking at Luo Xi who they were protecting behind them.

The boy’s appearance was so pretty it was unreal—if his hair were a bit longer, and his clothes changed to a dress, one could hardly tell he was a boy.

But why did this child’s gaze feel somewhat off when he looked at her?

It was as if he had seen her before.

"Who are you?" Florecia called out again, her voice stern.

"I am the same as you."

The woman smiled faintly, pulled out a hard biscuit from behind her, swung it before them, and said, "Just a homeless soul, forced to bed under the stars on these wild plains with the coming of the new year, or should I say, a traveler, which is why I asked you if you too were travelers."

"Travelers?"

Florecia slightly lowered her guard and muttered, "We’re not homeless; we’re an adventure group touring the continent."

Though indeed they couldn’t really return home.

Over these past nine months, the reward from Praying City had doubled.

Not to mention the rest, just the reward for two epic-tier Lost Yuan Qi was an unimaginably generous compensation.

She wondered if she had committed some unforgivable colossal sin.

Such rewards could be offered for the heads of cult leaders from major cults, could they not?

And even if she didn’t return, couldn’t her grandfather simply use these resources to woo others?

Why must they insist on having her back?

Was she really that essential to them?

Initially, Florecia hadn’t completely intended to break off contact with her family.

In June, she anonymously sent a letter back home from a town, telling her grandfather and brother she was alright, asking them not to worry about her and spend so much effort finding her.

Who knew that shortly after the letter was delivered, bounty hunters turned the small town upside down, disrupting the lives of many townsmen, most of whom eventually moved to the neighboring town.

Florecia learned this from other towns’ information channels afterward.

Such madness made her somewhat scared.

Of course, there was another possibility.

Her grandfather’s search for her, though seemingly crazy, might not involve any ulterior motives and was purely to bring her back.

If that were indeed the case, how wonderful it would be.

In her heart, Florecia hoped that her family merely wanted to reunite with her.

Who doesn’t want a harmonious family?

"Adventure group?"

Hearing Florecia’s explanation, the corners of the woman’s mouth curled up, and she assessed the baggage behind the group, saying, "Just this few people, plus a small child, and you dare to call yourselves an adventure group."

"What’s it to you!"

Mu Yu, a maid, couldn’t help but blurt out, "If you want to come over for food and warmth just say it straightforwardly, there’s no need to strike up a conversation in such a manner, if you can’t talk nicely don’t talk at all."

Luo Xi secretly swallowed.

Miss Maid, you’re bold.

If you knew you were facing one of the invincible Colorful Dragon Emperors from the Dream World, what would you think?

"If I have offended you, then I apologize," the woman said calmly.

"But, I was merely expressing my own thoughts. On the Mang Continent, those registered in the Adventure Association must have at least five people; your group could at most be considered a wild group, probably unregistered, right?"

Florecia: "..."

She was at a loss for words.

Although it wasn’t impossible for the three of them to register, her appearing in larger towns would quickly attract a slew of bounty hunters.

Struggling to avoid Origin Beasts and plan routes in the wilderness was hard enough without having to match wits with greedy bounty hunters—what kind of journey would that be?

The woman smiled faintly and suggested, "How about adding me? Then you would have four people."

Florecia: "?"

Mu Yu: "?"

Luo Xi: "..."

Well, there you go.

Was this what Bahamut mentioned about seeing her in this era?

He thought it was a coincidence, but she had sought them out herself and wanted to join their unreliable fledgling adventure group.

This puzzled Luo Xi.

The Black Dragon of this era shouldn’t know his identity.

Who was she here for?

Florecia, furrowing her brow, asked the question Luo Xi wanted to know.

"Why do you want to join our adventure group?"

She had begun to suspect the woman’s identity.

Could she be sent by her grandfather, planning to join them first and then deceive them into going back or secretly inform her grandfather?

The woman softly said, "There’s no special reason, just that it’s been too long since I traveled with others. In a little while, I likely won’t be able to wander comfortably across the continent like this, so I thought I might travel with you for a while."

The same words, heard by different people, can have different interpretations.
