Chapter 954 - 13: Dragon Slayer Warrior

Everyone in Reya Town knew that Jesse awakened his talent and understood Fighting Spirit. Now he was going to the Imperial City. If he passed the test of the Knight Association, he would become a Knight and might even become the disciple of a prominent figure.

The mayor said "if," but he actually knew very well that the brilliant light Jesse’s Fighting Spirit emitted meant everything was destined to be.

Jesse was destined to become an outstanding Knight, with boundless prospects. This small town could no longer hold him.

The mayor truly regretted it in his heart. Back then, his daughter fancied Jesse and wanted to marry him, but he looked down on Jesse, who was just a small guard, and tried to stop it in every possible way. And now, they were the ones who couldn’t reach him. He didn’t even know how to face his resentful daughter when he returned. The mayor sighed. Not to mention marriage, he hoped Jesse wouldn’t hold a grudge about the time they didn’t send anyone to rescue him when he fell. It would be lucky enough if he didn’t begrudge that; thinking about marriage was out of the question.

Of course, Jesse would also take Tianmiao with him to the Imperial City. His little treasure, he would naturally take wherever he went. So these days, Jesse and Tianmiao were busy packing their luggage.

And Fei’er said goodbye to them at this time.

"Where are you going?" Jesse realized he felt a little reluctant. These days, spending time with Fei’er had been genuinely pleasant. Sometimes, Fei’er felt like family to him. Every day she would prepare meals at home with the little treasure and wait for him to return.

"I actually have very important things to do. I should have set out to do them long ago, but I was reluctant to leave you, so I stayed this long. Once I finish, I’ll come to the Imperial City to find you." Fei’er also felt reluctant, but she had left Dragon Valley for so long, it was time to complete the coming-of-age assessment.

"Then, do you know where to find us?" Hearing Fei’er had important matters to attend to, Jesse no longer urged her to stay.

"I know. I will inquire at the Knight Association at that time. Give me a token." Fei’er laughed, "I’m very smart, don’t worry, I’ll come to find you as soon as I’m done."

"Alright. Take this." Jesse took off a necklace from his neck, which had a round pendant inscribed with Jesse’s name on the back.

"Okay." Fei’er took it and said, "Wait for me."

"Be sure to keep it safe. This was left to me by my mother. We’ll be waiting for you in the Imperial City." Jesse reminded her.

"Is this important to you? Give me something else instead." Upon hearing this, Fei’er felt uneasy and wanted to return the necklace to Jesse.

"No, you are my best friend, so take it." Jesse pushed Fei’er’s hand back and said firmly.

"Thank you. Jesse, you are also my best friend." Fei’er said, moved.

Tianmiao sat on the chair, swinging his little short legs, munching on an apple, and watched the pair in front of him. Yes, best friends. Clearly, neither the human nor the dragon had realized their own little thoughts yet; they both thought they had the purest friendship towards each other.

No worries, good things are worth waiting for.

Thus, Fei’er bid farewell to Jesse and Tianmiao and left Reya Town.

Jesse, on the other hand, set out for the Imperial City with Tianmiao. His house, the mayor promised with a pat on his chest that he would take good care of it and reassured him to leave without worry. No matter when he returned, the house would remain the same.

Jesse and Tianmiao took a carriage and gradually disappeared into the distance.

The butcher’s daughter stood at her door, looking towards the edge of the village, and sourly said, "That wild child has such good luck. From now on, she’ll follow Jesse and live a good life. If I married Jesse, I would be the one going to the Imperial City now."
