Chapter 1019 Finding A Treasure

"Huff... Huff..."

Lith was gasping for air as Mayzin set him free.

She looked around and found herself in a dungeon. In front of her, two ladies had their eyes red and were staring back at her.

'I seem to have seen her before...'

There was a certain moment where Mayzin had woken up. She didn't remember when, but she recalled looking at this woman's eyes and having a strange power stare back at her.

'If only I was awake...'

Even though she might've woken up in the middle of her power nap, her memory about it was hazy. Being a Dragon, her personality was tuned to sleeping whenever it was possible and hunting for treasures.

It may sound like a stereotype, but sadly, Mayzin checked all the boxes and was a typical Dragon true to her nature. There was no helping it.

'Now, where is it...'

Mayzin's attention shifted from the ladies in front and she looked around. There was a reason she woke up. It certainly had some reason to do with the disturbance caused by Nika, but there was another major one.

While Mayzin walked away, Nika turned to Lith.

Her eyes were moist and bending down to reach his eye level, she held his hands together and said with her lips pursed, "Thank you. Thank you so much."

Those were her heartfelt words of gratitude. Saying anything more would just degrade the value of her thank yous, so she kept it short.

Lith gave her a small smile. "No worries."

"If there's anything I can do, please let me know. Me and my family are forever indebted to you."

Beside Nika, her aunt appeared. She took a knee and said with her palm on her chest, "We are forever indebted to your grace, Sire. Neither me nor my family will forgive the kindness you've bestowed upon us."

"Don't worry about it. This was a fair exchange, so there's no debt between us."

Lith had his own motives to help these people. He wasn't doing it for benefits, but because his aunt guided him to. What he would get out of it... he didn't know.

For now, he had a dragon clavicle healing potion recipe. He would need a dragon clavicle for it though. Those were hard to find as the strength of the potion was equivalent to the bone strength of the dragon.

If he wanted to make a King Rank potion, he would need a King Rank dragon's clavicle.

Nika, upon hearing Lith's comment, swiftly shook her head and said, "No, no, no. How can a mere recipe compare to what you've done for us? Even if we made you potions or artifacts for a thousand years, it wouldn't be enough to repay what you've done for us!"

There was no tone of flattery, but genuine appreciation. This was the first time Lith was hearing this and a sudden stir occurred in his heart, making him somewhat raise his eyebrows.

'Damn... this feeling...'

It was much better than killing somebody!

Who would've thought doing good deeds felt better than doing evil ones!

This feeling was even better than getting appreciated for cooking up some good food. There had been a lot of praises in the past from customers who liked his food, but that kind of appreciation and this kind of appreciation had a huge difference.

Lith wasn't able to describe how, but the current feeling was better than any he has ever felt.

The innocent eyes of Nika that were twinkling in front of him, and the gratitude-covered eyes of her aunt... they could not be faked.

'Is this what aunt wanted me to show?'

Thinking so, Lith turned to look at her, and found her searching for something.

SQUEAK—!

Something squishy got crushed beneath Lith's foot. Turning to look down, he accidentally stepped onto a rat.

Shaking his head and thinking it was a common thing in a dungeon, Lith ignored it and walked towards Mayzin.

The rat wasn't dead, but startled. It squeaked away as quickly as it could from the place.

"Aunt, what are you searching for?"

Lith asked Mayzin as he stood beside her.

"Treasure." Mayzin replied flatly.

"Why are you searching for it?" Lith asked with a smile.

"To find it?" Mayzin didn't look at him and continued to look in every corner.

"Why would you want to find it when you already have it?"

Mayzin knitted her brows. She turned to look at Lith and asked, "How do I already have it?"

If she had the treasure already, she wouldn't be searching for it. What was Lith saying?

Lith rubbed his non-existent stubble and said, "Aren't you already looking at it? Ain't I your biggest treasure?"

"..."

Mayzin's eyes twitched. "Say it again and I'll bury you right here and now."

Lith chuckled and tried to pinch Mayzin's cheek, but she slapped his hand away and got back to searching for the treasure.

Had it been before, Lith would've been punched in the abdomen until his guts spilled out.

After his date, now was a different case. She seemed to have become quite tolerant.

"So... how does the treasure look like?" Lith asked while searching alongside her.

"No idea. I just have a feeling that it's there somewhere."

"You're working on intuition?"

"Yes."

"Wow. What are the odds of finding a treasure that way?"

"80%"

"That high?"

"No."

"What?"

"90%"

"..."

The conversation was going to a level that hurt Lith's brain. He kept his silence and just rummaged the surroundings to see where this treasure that his aunt was looking forward to lay at.
