Virtual World: The Legendary Thief

Chapter 037 (Escort the Princess Home)

"Princess, what can I do to bring you back?" This was what I need to worry about right now.

Princess Misha's soul was on the brink on disappearing as she whispered, "Take this Soul Wand, it will guide my soul to find my body in the basement. You must find it!"

Just when she finished her words, Misha's soul gradually dissipated, and then attached itself to the old wand lying on the ground. I looked at my health to see it had recovered enough, so I took the wand right away and headed to the dank murky basement. The princess's body was there, though unpleasant to the eyes, but at least it was still better than the appearance of the female ghost.

Moving the glowing wand on the Princess's forehead, a white light flashed, then the princess slowly opened her eyes. And when she regained her visions, she got surprised but she showed a relieved and thankful expression.

"Thank you for saving me. This body of mine is still weak, could you escort me back to the city?"

I nodded without thinking, and the System Notification sounded right away.

System Notification: You accepted a Follow-Up Mission, [Mission: Escort Princess Misha Back to Hurricane City]. Along the way, you must ensure the Princess's safety!

Princess Misha stood up and slowly walked toward the outside. Hold on... There are monsters out there! This idiot woman, how could she just walk straight out like that?

I ran out at once and with Princess Misha behind me, I killed the monsters to complete the mission. Although not too hard, but facing a group of skeleton warriors ganging up against me was not a fun thing to do. From a distance, a relative high-level Magician girl pointed her finger to us, and her faint voice could be heard. "Look over there, a handsome guy is fighting a group of monsters. Hey, isn't it our town's first ranked player, Qing Cai Baiyu Tang?"

...

Fighting all the way back to Hurricane City, guarding the Princess's safety. Misha followed me without saying no words. She was an NPC, naturally, she would not say stupid things...

A player together with an NPC heading back to town surprised everyone, even the bystanders were gathering. Still residing in the residential alley, Lance appearance had not changed from his miserable look. But when he saw the person behind me, Princess Misha, his wrinkled face exposed a smile that would give people goose bumps.

"Young man, I didn't expect you really rescue the Princess back from the hands of those sinister demons. Thank you so much!"

"Then... Be generous with the rewards!" I blurted out.

Lance obviously paused. Perhaps my words had affected the program, but lucky enough, I didn't cause the program to crash.

"Of course you will be rewarded. The princess has returned to safety, the old King must be very happy! Young man, here is your reward!"

"Ding~!"
