Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 43: Younger Sister

Dragon Crystals were extremely rare and precious materials with a wide range of uses. They could be used for forging, enchanting, or even to unlock highly rare dragon-related professions. 

Only creatures with draconic bloodlines had a chance to drop a Dragon Crystal, and even then, the drop rate was less than 1%, even for the most powerful true dragon bosses. 

As such, each Dragon Crystal was worth at least 100 million gold coins on the market, though they were often impossible to find even at that price.

The Magma Storm Dragon Hog, being of a diluted draconic lineage, had an exceedingly low chance of dropping a Dragon Crystal—about one in ten thousand. 

Even large guilds in desperate need of Dragon Crystals wouldn’t bother farming this particular boss due to the low probability. Yet, against all odds, the Dragon Hog had dropped a Dragon Crystal this time.

A one in ten thousand chance!

Liu Zhen and his team looked at Ye Xuan with envy. What incredible luck—to have become rich overnight with such a rare drop!

However, despite their envy, none of them showed any greed. Although they had initiated the fight with the Magma Storm Dragon Hog, they knew that without Ye Xuan’s intervention, they would have been annihilated. 

The loot rightfully belonged to Ye Xuan. Besides, given Ye Xuan’s strength, harboring any ill intentions would be suicidal.

Ye Xuan turned to the Dragon Crystal, his face lighting up with joy. He had only intervened to save Liu Zhen and his team, never expecting to gain such a valuable treasure as a reward.

With this Dragon Crystal…

His plans could now be accelerated.

Ye Xuan pocketed the Dragon Crystal and then turned to the remaining materials. “You can take the rest of the materials. I don’t need them,” he said to Liu Zhen and the others.

“No way!” Liu Zhen immediately refused. “You killed the Magma Storm Dragon Hog; all the loot belongs to you!”

“Exactly!” The other team members echoed in agreement.

Ye Xuan felt a warmth in his heart. He had encountered many professionals driven by greed, but this team, though not particularly strong, was refreshingly sincere.

Shaking his head, Ye Xuan insisted, “I really don’t need these materials. If you don’t take them, they’ll just sit here until someone else comes along and takes them.”

Reluctantly, Liu Zhen and his team accepted the loot. To their surprise, they had ended up with a significant haul, more than enough to elevate their team’s overall strength to the next level.

After collecting the loot, the team prepared to leave the Jiuling Grand Canyon.

“Brother Ye, are you heading to the Hengjiang District for the Shattered Heaven dungeon?” Liu Zhen asked.

In recent days, the appearance of the large-scale special dungeon, Shattered Heaven, had been the talk of every professional.

Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes. What about you?”

Liu Zhen smiled. “We won’t be going. Meng Meng is only Level 18, and we’ve got a special dungeon scroll that’s about to expire. We’re planning to clear her special dungeon and get her some unique class skills.”

The young priest, Meng Meng, smiled shyly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Throughout their journey, the group chatted and laughed, with Ye Xuan paying particular attention to Meng Meng, engaging her in conversation.

“Brother Ye, are you interested in our Meng Meng?” Li Meng teased. “You’ve got good taste! Meng Meng is an excellent cook and very caring.”

Meng Meng blushed at the teasing, playfully scolding, “What are you talking about!”

Despite her words, she couldn’t help but glance shyly at Ye Xuan, clearly flattered by his attention.

Ye Xuan chuckled, shaking his head. “I was just reminded of my younger sister. Meng Meng resembles her a bit.”

Hearing this, Meng Meng felt an inexplicable pang of disappointment. “Your sister must be very lucky to have a brother like you,” she remarked.

But Ye Xuan’s expression grew somber. “My sister… we were separated when we were very young.”

“Oh…” Meng Meng’s face fell with regret, immediately apologizing. “I’m sorry for bringing up such a painful memory…”

“It’s alright,” Ye Xuan replied, his face resolute. “I’ve found her now.”

The group offered words of comfort, trying to lift his spirits. “Then you’ll be reunited with her soon,” they assured him.

Ye Xuan’s smile was tinged with bitterness. The situation was far more complicated than they could imagine. His sister was now in the hands of his enemies…

Upon reaching the nearest city from Jiuling Grand Canyon, the group exchanged contact information before reluctantly parting ways. Although they had only known each other briefly, Liu Zhen’s team had grown to respect and admire Ye Xuan.

As they said their goodbyes, Liu Zhen spoke earnestly. “Brother Ye, you saved our lives. We may not be the strongest, but if you ever need us, we’ll be there, even if it costs us our lives!”

Ye Xuan was touched by their sincerity. “Thank you. We’ve exchanged contacts, so I’m sure we’ll meet again.”

“Until we meet again!”

Just before Meng Meng stepped into the teleportation array, she turned back and called out to Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, once you find your sister, you must come find me. I’ll cook for you both!”

As the light of the teleportation array enveloped her, and the group disappeared from view, Ye Xuan nodded to himself, his resolve firm.

“I will. And that day is not far off…”
