From that day onward, Dan Feng and Roxy moved back into the inn on the second floor of the tavern.
They took the same rooms as before.
Dan Feng explained to Roxy that Mayibeia and Galdaruf had gotten married but still couldn't afford a house. Since they were their most important friends, the two of them decided to help them buy a house quickly.
Roxy and Dan Feng stood together on the balcony, admiring the long-missed sunset over Millishion.
The golden afterglow bathed them both. As they enjoyed the beautiful scenery, they chatted leisurely.
Returning to Millishion today filled them with an indescribable sense of comfort.
Back at Ranoa Magic University, they had both been busy with their own affairs. Moments of leisure like this were truly rare for them.
"Dan Feng, how do you plan to help them?" Roxy leaned forward slightly with her hands on the railing, tilting her head. Her water-blue eyes looked curiously at Dan Feng.
Dan Feng's face looked even more handsome under the glow of the setting sun. The warm light softened his usually cold features.
He gazed quietly at the distant sunset. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and answered calmly, "No. With their personalities, they would absolutely refuse to accept direct financial help from us in the form of gold coins."
Roxy nodded thoughtfully, understanding what he meant.
She knew Dan Feng was right. Both Mayibeia and Galdaruf had strong pride and independence. Accepting money from others was not something they would prefer.
Dan Feng continued, "So right now, the only way to help them is by hunting magic beasts. It's currently the rainy season—there are many magic beasts active in the forest. This is a perfect opportunity."
"I think that works. While we're at it, let's buy a house in Millishion too. With the amount of gold coins we have now, it should be enough to buy a house here," Roxy suggested. She also wanted to have a home that belonged only to her and Dan Feng.
It would be even better if they could buy a house in every major place around the world.
"In Millishion?" Dan Feng looked at Roxy in slight confusion, but when he saw the faint excitement in her eyes, he silently swallowed back what he had been about to say.
Since Roxy wanted to buy one here, then they would buy one!
After that, the two simply stood quietly watching the sunset, savoring the peaceful atmosphere.
...
"Delve-hidden moon, world-cleansing dragon!" Using Cloud Chant Technique, Dan Feng gathered mana into the form of a water cyan dragon. With unmatched momentum, the cyan dragon soared toward the blue dragon flying in the sky.
A resounding dragon roar echoed as torrents of water swallowed the blue dragon whole. It crashed to the ground not far from where Dan Feng and the others stood.
At this moment, Dan Feng was in his Vidyadhara form. The ethereal dragon horns and tail lent his appearance an immortal, divine aura.
Mayibeia and Galdaruf, standing nearby, stared blankly at the heavily wounded, now lifeless blue dragon lying not far away.
Under Dan Feng's deliberate control, the blue dragon's body had not suffered too much damage to its materials—he had kept it as intact as possible.
After a long while, they finally snapped out of their daze and slowly turned their gazes toward Dan Feng.
Mayibeia swallowed hard, her voice trembling slightly. "Dan Feng, the way you look right now…" She truly didn't know how to describe him. She only felt an overwhelming, heart-palpitating pressure radiating from him.
Dan Feng seemed to sense Mayibeia's unease and reassured her, "No need to panic. This is just the form of my race. I'm still the same Dan Feng."
Galdaruf took a deep breath to calm himself, then returned to his usual calm expression. He asked, "So… you're actually not human, right?"
Dan Feng nodded, tacitly confirming Galdaruf's question.
Mayibeia and Galdaruf exchanged a glance. Both saw astonishment in each other's eyes.
However, they didn't press for more details. They quickly accepted the truth.
After all, Dan Feng's strength spoke for itself—no matter what race he was, it was already astonishing enough.
Especially since, from beginning to end, Dan Feng had used only one spell: Delve-hidden moon, world-cleansing dragon.
The sheer scale of that magic—and the fact that Dan Feng could release so many of them so effortlessly—meant the total amount of mana he possessed was simply unimaginable.
In the days that followed, the infamous name "Cold Dragon Young" once again echoed through Millishion.
Though it was only within adventurer circles that people trembled at the name.
Because he needed to help Galdaruf and Mayibeia earn money for a house, Dan Feng threw himself fully into hunting for profit.
This meant the adventurers of Millishion would have to suffer a bit—almost all high-level commissions were being monopolized by Dan Feng alone. Only the B-rank and lower commissions he couldn't accept were left for others.
Time passed quickly.
One week later, when Mayibeia opened the chest filled with gold coins, her eyes widened like copper bells and her mouth dropped open wide enough to fit an egg.
"So much!" Mayibeia exclaimed in disbelief, hardly able to trust her own eyes.
In just one week, they had earned nearly 800 Millis gold coins! That was an enormous fortune.
Of course, all credit went to Dan Feng.
Without him hunting A-rank and even S-rank magic beasts in his Vidyadhara form like a madman, it would have been nearly impossible for Mayibeia and Galdaruf to accumulate so much gold in such a short time.
"Dan Feng, Mayibeia and I are truly grateful to you and Roxy," Galdaruf said. Though his voice was calm, it carried genuine sincerity.
"However, most of these gold coins came from the magic beasts you killed. Mayibeia and I feel that taking just a portion would be enough." He paused briefly, as if considering how to phrase his thoughts.
"Taking all of this… it would feel overwhelming."
Dan Feng looked quietly at Galdaruf and said slowly, "Don't worry, Galdaruf. Don't decide anything yet. Just take these gold coins and come with us." His tone was calm but left no room for refusal.
Galdaruf and Mayibeia exchanged a puzzled glance.
Though confused, they still silently picked up the heavy chest full of gold coins and followed behind Dan Feng and Roxy.
But when Roxy saw it, she decisively stored the chest inside her own scroll.
The group passed through the residential streets and arrived at a relatively quiet area.
Here stood a row of neat houses. They looked somewhat old, but one could still sense the grandeur they once held.
Dan Feng stopped in front of one of the houses, turned to Galdaruf and Mayibeia, and said, "This is the place we're going to."
Galdaruf and Mayibeia looked around and realized this was an area specifically for selling houses.
In the Asura Kingdom, lords typically rented land to their subjects. But in places like Ranoa and Millis—where there was no clear ruling lord—houses were handled and sold by specialized organizations.
