Chapter 149: I want ten!

[Ding! Successfully frustrated numerous disciples, increasing Alchemy comprehension.]

[Ding! Successfully induced feelings of inferiority in Elder Turner, increasing Artifact Forging comprehension.]

When Timothy snapped back to reality, he had become a Level 6 Master in both Alchemy and Artifact Forging.

Even though he hadn't directly engaged with these two skills, he was well aware of their significance.

Reaching Level 6 as a forger or alchemist on the continent of Elant was exceedingly rare.

Even just one of these titles could earn someone endless admiration and flattery.

It's also worth mentioning that his wife's collection of books was impressively extensive.

The seemingly randomly placed books in the Arcane Library each held a terrifyingly high grade.

Just mastering a few could easily make someone a top-tier forger or alchemist.

Of course, the prerequisite was learning how to treat his wife right...

The Thunder Command technique that Oak Leaf had mastered turned out to be even more powerful than expected.

With this technique, not only could he receive feedback and enhance his insight and spiritual energy,

but the disciples of Sky Sanctuary could also bathe in the thunder light, significantly boosting their strength like warriors descended from the heavens.

This would give them a better chance against the two scheming Holy Emperors with ill intentions.

Timothy rummaged through his spatial ring and soon found an alchemy furnace among the treasures he had collected.

Although not of the highest grade, it would suffice.

Just as Timothy was about to try his hand at crafting a spirit medicine, a figure suddenly flew towards him from a distance.

Landing softly, it was the petite Azura.

"This is just too much!"

Tears welled up in Azura's eyes as she stared pitifully at Timothy.

"Huh?"

Timothy was momentarily stunned.

"You tied me to a big tree and told me not to move.

Then you completely forgot about me and left me there all day. That's just too much!"

Azura seemed genuinely upset, stomping her little feet and barely reaching Timothy's chest with her tiny fists.

Then, she started pounding on his chest with her little fists.

Unfortunately, her cotton-like punches had no real impact, and Timothy barely felt them.

After a moment of silence, Timothy couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

He then remembered that he had instructed Azura to stay put and practice her Dragon Roar, but he had completely forgotten about it when he left.

What could he do? His wife was right there, and how could he remember anything else?

Timothy asked with a smile, "Did you get your Dragon Roar practice done?"

"I did.

No, wait! I'm not talking to someone who cruelly abandoned me!"

Azura suddenly snapped back.

Even though she was the Ocean Dragon King and had been tricked into signing a year-long master-servant contract, she had to maintain her dignity.

She would never interact with someone who abandoned her again!

Yes, that's the way!

Otherwise, she wouldn't be the Ocean Dragon King!

"I did forget you by accident. To make it up to you, how about I compensate you with a Golden Scale Dragon Carp?" Timothy suddenly offered.

"Deal!"

In an instant, Azura completely forgot her previous grievances.

Her eyes lit up as she eagerly moved closer to Timothy, "Where's the Golden Scale Dragon Carp, where is it?

Sssluurp~.

I'm not just being greedy, I'm doing this to get stronger."

Timothy sighed, "Show me the Dragon Roar first, and then you'll get your Golden Scale Dragon Carp."

"But..."

Azura's mouth was practically watering, but she swallowed her disappointment.

After a moment, she tried: "Meow, wait, no! I mean, roar~"

Finally, Azura, as the Dragon King, let out a long-overdue dragon roar!

However.

Listening to this roar, Timothy couldn't help but feel something was off.

It was indeed a roar.

But why did it seem like Azura's dragon roar had even less oomph than... a cat's meow?

"Here's your Golden Scale Dragon Carp."

Timothy exchanged a Golden Scale Dragon Carp from the system store and tossed it into the air.

Instantly, Azura leaped up excitedly.

Her tiny mouth engulfed the entire Golden Scale Dragon Carp in one bite.

Licking her lips, Azura seemed unsatisfied and somewhat regretful, "Darn, I ate it too fast and didn't even taste it. Next time, I need to eat slower."

After devouring the Golden Scale Dragon Carp, Azura was visibly more excited and cheekily moved closer to Timothy, asking, "So, how are things going between you and Sylvia?

Have you guys, you know, mated yet?"

"Mated?

Do you think I'm a dragon or something? And what kind of weird knowledge have those old dragons been teaching you?"

Timothy pinched Azura's ear as a form of punishment.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Timothy's getting mad!"

Azura yelped in pain, but she also realized something.

That Timothy, despite being very close to Goddess Sylvia, definitely hadn't reached the step of mating!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten so flustered and lashed out at her.

Azura was almost moved by her own cleverness.

"Hehe, it's okay if you haven't succeeded.

I actually have a perfect way to help you, especially since Valentine's Day is coming up soon. A good gift might just..."

"Valentine's Day?" Timothy suddenly interjected.

"You don't know? On Elant, Valentine's Day is also called Summer Valentine's Day, usually on August 14th. You have Sylvia as a girlfriend and you don't know about Valentine's Day?

Could it be that you don't understand romance?"

Azura was thoroughly shocked.

"Uh... who knows the exact date of Valentine's Day in this world!" Timothy was somewhat speechless.

It wasn't that he didn't understand romance.

After all, he had traveled to this world to complete his final trial, and there was so much to learn that he hadn't specifically looked into the date of Valentine's Day.

But it was good that Azura mentioned it.

Otherwise, if Valentine's Day came and he wasn't prepared with a gift, he would be failing in his duties as Goddess Sylvia's boyfriend.

"What's this method you mentioned? Do your dragon kind have some precious treasure?" Timothy asked with interest.

"It's not a treasure. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But the method from our Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon was even used by the ancient human sages.

If you could use it as a Valentine's Day gift, it would definitely be a showstopper.

Besides having a pet like me, no one else knows about this precious gift from the dragon kind.

There's only a month left, why not give it a try?" Azura tempted.

"Alright, what's the catch?" Timothy had already seen through Azura's little scheme.

"Hehe, that would be... more Golden Scale Dragon Carps," Azura couldn't help but reveal her true intentions.

"That's worth considering, but how many do you want?

One, three?"

"Neither."

Azura boldly held up five fingers: "I want ten!"

Timothy: "…"

Really wondered who taught Azura math...

But, daring to ask for such a number, the method Azura mentioned must indeed be something special.

"Since that's the case, let's go check out the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon."

Timothy agreed, willing to give it a try. Your story continues on m_vl_em_p_y
