Chapter 8 - The Ice Queen School Belle Wants to Party Up? Chen Yang Refuses!

Fortunately, the ride hadn't been too long—just a little over ten minutes. Otherwise… the elven princess would have truly suffered.

Even so, her face was pale, and her body was clearly uncomfortable.

Chen Yang supported her until they reached the roadside.

"Finally found it."

At last, he managed to locate one particular skill from his countless God-tier Auras—Soothing Power!

[Soothing Power (God-tier Aura): Removes physical discomfort caused by various non-combat reasons for you and your summons (cannot remove debuffs from skills or attacks).]

Actually, when looking through his combat-type auras, Chen Yang had spotted a Titan Aura.

Once activated, it would make him and his summon immune to all debuffs—no stuns, no knockbacks, no slows, no armor breaks, no charms… nothing could affect them!

But when he'd tested it in the taxi earlier…

That aura had done absolutely nothing for Sylvie's carsickness.

"This lifestyle-type aura, Soothing Power, should work."

Chen Yang activated the Soothing Power aura.

A faint white glow enveloped both him and Sylvie, filling them with a spring-breeze-like comfort.

To Sylvie's amazement, the uncomfortable dizziness she'd felt moments ago disappeared in an instant.

Within three seconds, she was lively again.

"Just now… what did you do?" Sylvie asked curiously, looking at Chen Yang.

"You're my summon. I can't just watch you suffer and do nothing, can I?" Chen Yang smiled.

That moved Sylvie a little.

So, her master wasn't completely heartless after all.

And what truly surprised her was—she herself hadn't even known why she was unwell, yet Chen Yang had simply waved his hand and cured her. Incredible!

Of course, as a proud elven princess, she wasn't about to show even the slightest hint of gratitude to a mere human.

"Let's go. Time to check out a dungeon."

Chen Yang didn't dwell on it. He simply led her toward the entrance of the Secret Realm Zone.

[Zhongnan City, South City Secret Realm Zone (Level 1–10)]

A large notice board stood before Chen Yang and Sylvie.

Behind it stretched a massive metal wall, over twenty meters high and dozens of kilometers long!

The wall separated the dungeon-refreshing area from the inner city, ensuring the safety of civilians.

Before a majestic metal gate, hundreds of newly advanced professionals were gathered—some forming parties, others already in groups, heading straight inside.

The place was buzzing with activity.

The moment Chen Yang showed up with Sylvie, plenty of heads turned.

Among the crowd were students from First High School, also new professionals just like him.

"Look, it's Chen Yang! I heard he became a summoner—his physique's something called Friend of Maidens?"

"Damn, that elf walking with him is gorgeous! I'm dying of envy here!"

"No way, his first summon is an elf girl?!"

"She's beautiful, but I wonder how strong she is?"

"Could just be a pretty vase."

"Hah! If I had a summon like that, I wouldn't care if she was a vase!"

The chatter rose around them.

Soon, a tall, lanky young man carrying a shield approached Chen Yang.

"Chen Yang, your elf—she's a healer, right?"

"My team's short on a cleric. Want to join?"

This was Yang Shuchuan, the classmate who'd sat behind Chen Yang. Their relationship wasn't bad.

From his observation, Yang Shuchuan had guessed correctly: Chen Yang's summoned Elf girl was a cleric.

She was wearing a dress, so clearly a caster type. And among elves, a caster could only be a mage or a cleric. Their starting equipment was easy to tell apart.

"No, she's a little shy," Chen Yang shook his head. "We won't team up for now. I'll just take her around to get familiar with the environment."

"…Alright."

Yang Shuchuan looked a little disappointed.

For new professionals, the hardest role to find in a party was a cleric.

It wasn't just him—

Even the school's cold and beautiful goddess, Su Qimeng, who had advanced into the high-tier class Frost Mage and was rumored to have S-rank talent, still hadn't managed to find a suitable healer.

Just then—

A slightly chubby girl, about 1.6 meters tall, walked up to Chen Yang.

"Hey, you're Chen Yang, right?"

She glanced at the elf princess behind him. "Our party's missing a healer. Want in? I'm an A-rank Warrior. And our captain is Su Qimeng. Getting into our team is a big favor for you…"

Su Qimeng?

Chen Yang was surprised.

Wasn't that the Ice Queen school belle of First High School?

He glanced around and indeed spotted her not far away—dressed in a long black dress, holding a staff, her icy aura unmistakable.

Her long hair flowed to her waist, her elegant figure wrapped tightly in her gown, drawing countless stares from the crowd.

When she noticed Chen Yang looking, Su Qimeng smiled faintly and even gave him a nod.

That smile…

It made several nearby boys' eyes nearly pop out of their heads!

The Ice Queen herself—

Smiling at Chen Yang? And even inviting him into her party?!

Unbelievable!

Jealousy flared all around.

Not only had he summoned an elf beauty, now even the Ice Queen was reaching out to him?! Too lucky!

Unfortunately…

Chen Yang shook his head at Su Qimeng from afar.

Then he told the girl in front of him: "Sorry, I'm not planning to team up right now."

The girl froze.

What?

Chen Yang actually… actually rejected Su Qimeng's invitation?!
