40: Chapter 40 Dragon Girl Ao Qingyan

Zhongnan City, Ziyun Mountain Villa.

This villa district, located in a prime area of the city, is famous for its exceptional environment and top-tier security.

Surrounding one of the villas adjacent to the artificial lake, lush trees and well-tended flowers abound, and there is even a small, meticulously cultivated bamboo grove that emits a pleasant "rustling" sound in the evening breeze, adding a touch of tranquility and elegance.

This lakeside villa in such a prime location had a total price of 78 million Magic Crystals.

Lin Muyang had previously paid a 5% deposit, and now, having settled the final balance, he officially became its owner and moved in with Lilia and Elabess.

The top-tier residences in this world are completely different from the villas Lin Muyang knew before he transmigrated.

Not only is the environment beautiful, but more importantly, every villa has been equipped with a powerful shielding barrier set up by a master formation expert.

Living inside, the outside world cannot use any prying skills, detection spells, or even certain high-tech equipment to investigate the situation inside the villa.

Even a direct line of sight would be distorted and blocked by the barrier, making it impossible to see inside.

If someone attempts to break the barrier or it is subjected to a powerful impact, it will immediately send an alert to the owner.

This level of privacy protection is simply ideal for Lin Muyang, who carries many secrets.

"Even if I summon a dozen more companions in the future and fill this place up, I don't have to worry about being discovered by outsiders."

Lin Muyang looked around the spacious living room with satisfaction. "When there are too many people to fit in the future, I'll just move to a bigger place."

The interior of the villa is extremely spacious, with luxurious yet tasteful decor.

Lin Muyang said to the two girls who had arrived first, "There are twelve rooms in total, upstairs and downstairs; you can choose whichever ones you like to stay in."

"Yay! Finally, no more squeezing into that small room!"

Upon hearing this, Lilia's emerald eyes lit up instantly. Like a bird released from a cage, she ran around the villa excitedly, from the first floor to the second, pushing open each door to inspect the rooms, wanting to pick the one with the best view and the one most to her liking.

Meanwhile, Elabess remained quietly by Lin Muyang's side. Her pale purple eyes gazed at him tenderly as she said softly: "Master, I would like to stay in the room next to yours, if that's okay? That way, if you have any needs, I can arrive immediately."

"Of course you can."

Lin Muyang readily agreed.

He had no reason to refuse such a reasonable request.

However, he did not immediately go to choose his own master bedroom. Instead, he stood in the center of the villa's spacious living room, which had a ceiling height of nearly six meters.

At this moment, he had a more important task to attend to—performing the third summoning to welcome his third companion from another world!

Elabess stepped back a few paces with interest and stood to the side, preparing to witness this magical moment.

As Lin Muyang focused his mind, silently reciting the summoning command in his heart and channeling the unique summoning power within his body...

On the smooth marble floor of the villa, silvery-white spots of light appeared without warning.

These spots of light flowed and extended rapidly, outlining complex and profound runes that connected to each other, eventually forming a circular magic circle radiating a mysterious aura!

The light of the magic circle grew brighter and brighter, flowing like moonlight, illuminating the entire living room.

Within that brilliant silver-white pillar of light, a tall, gracefully curved figure gradually condensed from illusion into reality.

The first thing to catch the eye was a cascade of snow-white, lustrous long hair that fell like a waterfall, swaying gently as if moved by an invisible breeze.

The young girl was dressed in a simple, antique-style white ribbon robe with wide sleeves, her clothes fluttering, giving her an ethereal air as if she were untainted by the dust of the world.

Her willow-thin waist, which could be grasped in one hand, was tightly cinched by a matching brocade belt, further highlighting her slender and graceful figure.

Her facial features were as exquisite as if carved from ice and snow, combining to form a face that was stunningly beautiful yet cold.

In those eyes, which were like the purest sapphires, there was no emotional fluctuation, only an unmelting chill, as if they were ice that had not thawed for ten thousand years.

She held a sheathed longsword in her right hand, carrying it casually behind her back. Intricate cloud patterns were faintly visible on the scabbard, perfectly complementing her overall cold and aloof temperament.

The moment this young girl was summoned and her form completely solidified, she scanned the surrounding environment with lightning speed.

A fleeting, imperceptible trace of surprise flashed through her ice-blue eyes; she seemed somewhat taken aback by her surroundings.

"White hair, blue eyes... that's a bit like Lilia, but she's much taller than that girl!"

Lin Muyang quickly sized up his new companion, thinking to himself, "But isn't this expression a bit too cold? I feel like I'd get frostbite just by getting close..."

"And she uses a sword? Looks like she's a melee physical-type companion?"

Lin Muyang felt a surge of joy and immediately focused his mind to check her detailed attribute panel:

[Dragon Maiden: Ao Qingyan!]

[Age: ??]

[Height: 175cm]

[Weight: 48kg]

[Three Measurements: B94 (W58) H89!]

"As expected, at 175 centimeters tall, she is a full ten centimeters taller than Lilia, and even slightly taller than Elabess!"

Lin Muyang nodded inwardly. "Especially her leg length and body proportions; they are simply perfect! Even the top supermodels from the world before I transmigrated probably couldn't compare."

Although her face seemed somewhat unapproachable due to her cold expression, there was no denying that the exquisiteness of her features had reached a perfect level, as if she were the Creator's finest work, without a single flaw.

This was the third companion he had summoned—the Dragon Maiden, Ao Qingyan!

Lin Muyang couldn't wait to cast his gaze toward her combat attributes panel:

[Dragon Maiden: Ao Qingyan]

[Current Level: 1]

[Strength: 197]

[Constitution: 225]

[Agility: 209]

[Spirit: 211]

[Talent: Divine Dragon Bloodline (SSS-Rank Talent), you can meditate to cultivate, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and increase your own attributes with no limit! Bloodline Talent: Dragon Transformation!]

[Dragon Transformation: Release the power of the Divine Dragon Bloodline to transform into a Divine Dragon body, increasing all attributes by 10 times and gaining brand-new exclusive skills in the Divine Dragon form. Divine Dragon form lasts 300 seconds (duration will increase with level), cooldown 24 hours.]

[Skill 1: Sword as Shield. While holding a sword, you can rely on extraordinary sword mastery intuition to freely block any targeted attack. After a successful block, reduce the damage of that attack by 80%. No cooldown, relies on user reaction.]

[Skill 2: Moonlight Sword Qi. Infuse spiritual power into the sword blade and swing the longsword towards a fan-shaped area in front, releasing five razor-sharp moonlight sword beams. Each sword beam deals massive physical damage to all targets in its path. Cooldown 5 seconds.]

"SSS-Rank Talent! Divine Dragon Bloodline!"

Lin Muyang was incredibly shocked.

Starting with all attributes close to two hundred points! This is nearly ten times the attributes of an ordinary Class Transferee at the same level!

The reason lies in her heaven-defying [Divine Dragon Bloodline] talent, which allows her to increase her base attributes without limit by meditating and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

This means that regardless of what environment she was in before being summoned, she could consolidate her foundation through continuous cultivation.

This talent allowed her to possess initial attributes far exceeding those of other companions the moment she was summoned.

And her ultimate move [Dragon Transformation] is even more terrifying, directly increasing all attributes by ten times, and she can also obtain exclusive skills in the Divine Dragon form! This is simply a strategic-level existence!

However, before Lin Muyang could recover from this huge surprise, the Dragon Maiden named Ao Qingyan slightly furrowed her beautiful dark eyebrows, her cold gaze landing on Lin Muyang, and her crisp but temperatureless voice rang out in the living room:

"Where is this place?"

As soon as she spoke, the surrounding air seemed to freeze slightly, carrying a biting chill.

"This is Blue Star."

Lin Muyang met her gaze and answered in a calm tone, "You should have already received the system's notification information and are very clear about your current situation, right?"

"Indeed, I know; I have come in response to the summons."

Ao Qingyan nodded slightly, her ice-blue eyes gazing at Lin Muyang, seemingly with a trace of inquiry. "However, the one who summoned me to descend turns out to be a Human?"

Her eyes were as calm as an ancient well, as if everything in the world could hardly arouse her interest; it was a kind of arrogance and indifference stemming from her bloodline.

She paused and cut straight to the point, her tone carrying a hint of imperceptible urgency:

"It is said that in this world, one only needs to kill beings called 'Monsters' to absorb energy, rapidly increase levels, and enhance strength?"

Without waiting for Lin Muyang to answer, she stared straight at him with those eyes that seemed capable of freezing the air, and said in a tone of statement rather than inquiry:

"Now, take me to find the Monsters."

Lin Muyang looked at the Dragon Maiden before him, who was cold in temperament, clear in purpose, and seemed born for battle, and was momentarily speechless.

Summoning a Dragon Maiden with SSS-Rank Talent, his heart was naturally filled with wild joy.

But he never expected... this new companion seems to be an out-and-out leveling maniac?
