LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 154: Liar Lance, Who Would Have Thought Venus Was a Trainee Grim Reaper, Huh?!
[Long time no see, Venus.]
Within the projected screen, Venus appeared dazed, the phrase echoing endlessly in her mind, as Lance's reflection flickered in her crimson eyes.
It took her quite a while to respond. She covered her eyes with her hand, reminiscing about the Lance from a thousand years ago.
The smile with which he greeted her, a familiar sight she had seen before.
A millennium ago… Lance basking in the afternoon sun on a rocking chair... Whenever he saw her crouching in a dark corner... He would smile and wave her over, inviting her to join him in the sunlight...
She liked Lance's smile.
Clean, pure... it gave her a sense of peace...
After a gap of a thousand years, she saw such a smile once again.
The memories that had died began to assault her again.
From Amelia's mouth... the mysterious and powerful comrade... was Lance after a thousand years...
This was unexpected to her.
Amelia noticed Venus covering her eyes and saw a glint of 'triumph' flash across her deep blue irises.
Has she lost control of her emotions?
She had lost control several times yesterday.
"Venus… you…"
"Long time no see, Lance."
Amelia placed the projection communicator on the dining table; it had been more than a thousand years since they last met and they had much to talk about.
To respond to the trickster Lance at the first opportunity, she even interrupted her own speech.
Understandable.
After all, the trickster Lance had often helped Venus wash her silvery-white hair and even specially prepared a custom-made Protective Hair Wash Potion just to enhance her lustrous locks.
Once, Reg, the [Sword of Silver Valor], sneaked some of the Protective Hair Wash Potion Lance had made for Venus and ended up being chased and whacked around by Venus with her magic wand for quite a while.
Upon reflection, the trickster Lance, unnoticed, did a lot for them with his potions.
Shampoo and conditioner, potions to regulate appetite, and the Extraordinary Elixir to cure Iliya's sickness...
Using the words of the current adventure teams in the Human World, back then Lance was the [Sunshine Squad]'s [Nurturer].
"It's indeed been a long time since we've seen each other, seeing how you look now... I can hardly recognize you. You've cut your hair short... your aura has changed too... Hmm... quite dashing, with the outfit you wear now... you could whisk away the Dragon Whelp I've raised…"
The Young Dragon, munching on two slices of bread at once, heard the Evil Dragon mention her and quickly clamped her mouth shut. A princess must maintain her image after all.
She wanted to cry… When could she transform back into a human…
Every day, gorging on meat and gulping down water... she had almost forgotten the taste of savoring delicacies with small, dainty bites...
The Young Dragon raised its Dragon Claw, giving Venus a thumbs-up.
The Evil Dragon was right.
Venus, dressed in a black suit, indeed looked suave and captivating.
If she were to teach at the Imperial Noble Academy, those noblemen and noblewomen, untouched by the world, would probably turn into little fans of Venus in no time.
"This silly little Dragon has been fortunate."
Lance nodded in agreement; the Dragon Whelp's luck was indeed good. If it hadn't crossed paths with him, by chance... The Dragon Whelp might have already been kept by a human princess by now.
It might also have lived a merry life, being treated like a treasured national figure, without a care for food or dress.
After all, most of the Human World's princesses couldn't resist such a dumb and silly looking Dragon Whelp.
"When you cut off that dazzling silvery-white hair of yours... didn't it pain you?"
"To move on from the shadows of your 'death' as quickly as possible, I chose this short hairstyle, otherwise... I'd subconsciously recall the times when you were alive and washed my hair for me."
She didn't want her first words, after rising from the dark corner, to be: [Lance, my hair is dirty...]
The comrades made changes to move on from the shadow of Lance's death quickly...
But when it was time to miss Lance... they still missed him...
The Young Dragon subconsciously touched its bare skull.
Damn it, the Evil Dragon was so gentle to human girls?
Towards her… it was either a knock… or a smack...
Wash her hair?
Wiping her bald dragon head with a damp cloth counted as washing her hair...
"That's good, a new hairstyle for a new mood."
"Where are you? I'll come find you."
"???" Amelia appeared before the projection screen: "Wait, upon seeing the trickster Lance... why don't you ask him how he's still alive?"
"I'll ask when we meet."
"Then why are you looking for him? Have you completed your task? Weren't you planning to hire someone last night for a mission? Have you found someone? If not, tell me your location, and I'll bring the trickster Lance to help you.
To assist you with that tricky mission."
Venus's gaze fell upon Lance. She wouldn't mind letting Lance know about her [Apprentice Grim Reaper] identity.
The identity of an Apprentice Grim Reaper wasn't something others should know, but teammates could.
If Lance found out she had signed an [Apprentice Grim Reaper] contract with Hell, she supposed he would be shocked by her identity, wouldn't he?
She was somewhat looking forward to Lance's reaction upon learning she was an [Apprentice Grim Reaper].
Should she let Amelia bring Lance to assist her in clearing out the Undead in the Twilight Grand Canyon?
She was curious to meet the living Lance, but the Undead of the Dusky Grand Canyon could summon beings of unknown and formidable power.
Lance was a Potion Master, and she wasn't sure he could concoct an Extraordinary Elixir effective against the Undead.
If he could, then letting Amelia bring Lance to help clear out the Undead might be an option.
"Don't trouble Lance; he's a Potion Master... Bringing him here might not help me, and we might even have to protect him instead."
