Chapter 514 - 403: The Sunshine Youth

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mosquito was watching Wesley with his cold eyes.

"What’s wrong, my brother, can’t you feel the sunshine in my heart?" Wesley said.

"Nothing much, I’m just thinking since you are so excellent, I might as well speak to Brother Long and arrange for you to be placed in the Dandy Team for some training."

On hearing Mosquito’s words, Wesley’s sunny face twitched slightly, but he steadied himself almost instantly.

"Heh, I would love that!"

Wesley added.

The so-called Dandy Team, of course, refers to the group of Dandi sisters. The Dandi sisters with their six dragon marks are incredibly powerful. As creatures of Hell, their attacks carry a potent hell attribute, causing injuries that would lead to erosion by the power of Hell. Of course, they can also absorb the energy of Hell. Another extraordinary feature of Hell creatures is their superbly robust bodies.

Even without utilizing any extra power, them simply engaging in hand-to-hand combat, not considering any techniques, the Dandi sisters could match Ai Lin in physical prowess, a stalemate almost.

Bear in mind that Ai Lin is a dragon!

Although they look like sexy, coquettish young girls, Ai Lin speculated that these Blood Ravens must have been influenced by something from Long Yi during their transformation into humans. Otherwise, those exaggerated curves should not have miraculously appeared.

However, this should serve to distract their enemies - this was a reason desperately thought up by Solon for Long Yi.

Despite Wesley’s remarkable progress, he still only has three Dragon Marks. If he trains with the Dandi Sisters, he would be put in his place within minutes.

The cook lying on the ground chuckled, "You can only pretend to be something you’re not now, when Brother Long really comes, you’ll find a lot of excuses."

Wesley looks at the fiery figures in the distance with a serene smile, "That’s impossible, you overweight individual. I am honest and genuine. If Brother Long needs me, no matter where he sends me, I’ll have no complaints or regrets. Not to mention, it’s the Dandy Team of my dreams."

"I just fear you dying there!"

Mosquito chuckled maliciously.

"Die of happiness? That would be great!" Wesley replied.

"No... either you can’t control your own nosebleed, resulting in death from excessive blood loss. Or you can’t control your right hand, which will lead to your death from excessive..." Mosquito said.

"Is that so? But I think, before that, he will die in the intense training!"

Long Yi walked out from behind Wesley.

Wesley’s body tensed up quickly, then he mechanically turned his head around with a sunny smile on his face.

"Brother Long! You’re back!"

At first, Long Yi was puzzled seeing Wesley’s expression, but then he burst into laughter.

"I say, brother, how long have you been keeping this facade?"

Wesley’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, "What are you talking about, Brother Long, I have always been this way..."

"Since his second day of joining the military camp." The cook chimed in.

"If you fancy any of the Dandis, you should tell her yourself. How long can you maintain this image? Can you do it for a lifetime?" Long Yi said.

"Yes!"

Without thinking, Wesley immediately replied.

"Alright, if so, you go for it." Regarding Wesley’s behaviour, Long Yi had nothing much to say. Each to their own!

Wesley had initially thought that Long Yi would surely drag him to train intensively. He hadn’t expected him to be so understanding!

"Brother Long! Thank you!" Wesley felt tears welling up in his eyes.

Long Yi, who had already taken a step away, turned around as if he suddenly remembered something, "Oh by the way, on my way back, I came across Vice Captain Lin Qi of the First Legion. The First Legion is back to replace their dragon gear, and he has heard about our legion and is curious. So, he is bringing his Dragon Knights to ’visit’ later. Hmm... Wesley will be the main force in ’welcoming’ them."

Long Yi said with a smile.

Wesley’s tears hadn’t had the chance to fall, they immediately got sucked back into his tear ducts.

’Visit’? Challenge, right?

’Welcome’? Fight, right?

Send me out there?

"Ahem, well... Brother Long, you mean, as the captain of our ’welcome’ team?" Wesley immediately said.

"Nope, just you. Cheer up, the Dandi sisters are watching!" Long Yi burst into laughter and left, leaving Wesley behind, on the verge of tears.

The cook sighed deeply, got up from the ground, and patted Wesley on the shoulder. Mosquito on the other side, also patted Wesley on the shoulder.

"Don’t worry, we’re brothers. We definitely won’t let you face things alone," said the chief cook.

"Cook! Mosquito! My dear brothers!" Wesley choked with emotion.

"Yes, we’ll always be cheering for you from afar," said Mosquito.

"Oh right, if you die, I’ll keep all those beautifully illustrated and hyperbolically worded magazines under your bed and read them every day," the chef added on.

"You two bastards! Why don’t you drop dead first!"

As soon as Long Yi heard the distant roar, he knew the regular Wesley was back.

At this time, Ai Lin and Suolin were in the middle of the huge camp site, instructing the Dandi sisters on their battle tactics. Ai Lin, proficient in aerial tactics and skilled in both long-range casting and close combat, was quickly improving the overall strength of the Dandi sisters by addressing each of their weaknesses.

Suolin took responsibility for teaching ground combat. Although Suolin, in human form, couldn’t fly, her combat skills were sharp. Ai Lin had inherited Long Yi’s fighting style, which included a dignified upfront approach. Suolin, however, was different; her combat style, shaped by years of assassin training, was entirely pragmatic. She would prioritize success at any cost, not hesitating to use any means possible. These two contrasting fighting styles were being simultaneously taught to the Dandi sisters, who were surprisingly quick to grasp them.

Seeing as they were Blood Ravens, the Dandi sisters possessed the wisdom to master both of these combat styles and quickly determined which to use based on their current situation.

Upon his arrival at the practice field, Ai Lin, who had been observing from the skies, giggled, pointed at Long Yi, and shouted, "Target is Brother Long! Attack!"

Suddenly, a swarm of Dandis rushed towards Long Yi, and amidst a burst of laughter, they pinned him to the ground.

"Stop it... we have guests...," the buried Long Yi managed to yell, which prompted the Dandis to promptly fly up, allowing him to escape.

Ai Lin descended from the air and Suolin walked over, asking "Hey, Brother Long, you okay?"

"I’m fine..." Long Yi dusted himself off after picking himself up from the ground.

Ai Lin was shocked to see about a dozen kiss marks all over Long Yi’s forehead, face and chest.

"Hey! Which one of you did this!" Ai Lin rounded on the Dandi sisters.

"Hee hee hee!" the Dandi sisters giggled in response, none of them admitting to it. After all, it was just a kiss.

With a pout, Ai Lin comforted herself with that thought.

"Ahem, Lin Qi, the Vice Captain of the First Legion, will be bringing his Dragon Knights over for a visit soon. Prepare yourselves, they might arrive shortly," Long Yi informed them.

"The First Legion? I thought the Legion up next for a break was the Second Legion?" Ai Lin asked, puzzled.

"They’re returning to replace their Dragon mounts’ equipment. The Empire has custom-made a batch of gear that the First legion will be testing," Long Yi explained.

"Oh, so their ’visit’... is it just a visit or a ’visit’?" Ai Lin asked, making air quotes with her fingers.

"I reckon it starts as a simple visit, but after they arrive it’ll probably turn into a ’visit’," Long Yi emphasized with a change in tone.

"Why do I feel like I don’t understand what you two are saying?" Suolin asked, confused.

"She’s asking if they’re coming to watch or to fight," Wesley clarified, while arriving with the Cook and Mosquito.

"Watch what? A game?" The Cook asked, eyes not wavering although his peripheral yet keeping track of everything around.

"I don’t know why, but whether they’re coming to watch or to fight, it feels like we are always the ones at a disadvantage," Mosquito commented.

"If we feel disadvantaged, we should just give them a good beating!" Long Yi laughed.

"Ah, by the way, pull your wings in!" Ai Lin suddenly advised.

The Dandi sisters instantly tucked their fuchsia wings, transforming them into two mantles that hung softly behind them. The mantle set up definitely looked even cooler than the wings!

"Cool!"

Long Yi gave Ai Lin a thumbs-up.

Meanwhile, Vice Captain Lin Qi and his Dragon Knights were making their way to the northern camp. As members of the prestigious White Dragon’s First Dragon Knight Legion, they received a well-deserved welcome. Enthusiastic residents would offer them gifts - either food, crafts, or scented underwear...

If this were in the past, Lin Qi would certainly hold his head high with pride.

But now, he was preoccupied.

Because he was constantly contemplating how to win a fight against Long Yi!

Long Yi was simply too strong, and he was the type to achieve success without any shortcuts. This man was unbeatable, having no weaknesses nor flaws. At times, Lin Qi felt fortunate that Long Yi was a knight for the White Dragon Empire, rather than the Black Dragon Empire. If the latter were the case, the White Dragon Empire would have been obliterated long ago, right?

How to deal with Long Yi; this had become the primary research subject for the five Dragon Knight legions in the White Dragon Empire for an extensive period. Since there were currently no border conflicts, creating a hypothetical enemy was a challenge. Long Yi, due to his overwhelming strength, naturally became the unilateral research target for each legion. His combat method had no shortcuts, implying that as long as there was a way to defeat Long Yi, virtually any opponent could be conquered. (To be continued.
