Chapter 214 - Elder's Teaching

The retired Gold Rank Adventurer watched the whole fight with a dumbstruck expression on his face. The infamous Dire Wolf King was killed in a few moves. The wolf was famous for its freaking fast movement, people hardly could see its movement. Even the Dire Wolf King was getting cornered, it could always flee at the moment of danger.

However, the man handled the wolf easily. Canceling the Mana Shoot with mana axes, and predicted the Dire Wolf King's movement before he killed the beast with one twist to the neck.

'Just who is he?' A man this strong tried to start becoming an adventurer, 'A knight from the capital? Or Templar from the church?' The old man's thoughts wandered, trying to guess the man's identity.

'No, why would a knight or even a templar be in disguise as an adventurer? Even if they are in disguise, they will not show off their skill like this. The fighting style of the knight and templar are nowhere close to that man's, so who is he?'

While the old man's thoughts wandered around, the Dire Wolves scattered around in fear. The wolf's horde dispersed in a matter of seconds after the Dire Wolf King died.

Even though he felt regret that he could not get more money from their fur, Tang Shaoyang did not give chase.

He was about to drag the massive wolf but decided against it, afraid of damaging the fur. A Dire Wolf King's fur could be sold for a hefty price for sure.

'Ah, fortunately, I did not damage the head. It could be sold for decoration, it might be more expensive than selling the fur, or even more expensive than the bounty,' Tang Shaoyang got an idea regarding the head.

He carried the Dire Wolf King back to the village. The villagers' eyes locked on the massive wolf on top of him. The tense and gripping atmosphere had disappeared as a quiet atmosphere ensued.

At this moment, Chief Rick was the first to let out a big cheer, "Booyah! The threat has been exterminated, The Forest God is on our side and protects us from the vile creature, let's celebrate this!"

His yells were followed by the women, they cheered and shouted to continue the party. Tang Shaoyang returned to the village and stored the massive Dire Wolf King in the warehouse.

After that, the village continued their party, the women were singing and the men were playing an instrument like a drum. Of course, amidst the party, four gloomy men took a spot.

"So what happened to your village?" Chief Rick asked Artou and the three men who managed to escape from Gulin Village from the wolves.

"You still have the nerve to ask? Didn't you already know what happened, bastard old man!?" Artou retorted with a loud voice, trembling in anger as if Chief Rick was the one who killed his parents.

"See! I told you to not hang around these jerks from Gulin Village! We saved his ass, gave him food and shelter, and not only they are not thankful to their benefactor but curse their benefactor!" Chief Rick said loudly, and his eyes were on his daughter, telling her to stay away from this kind of person.

The music and cheers paused for a moment as everyone's gaze landed on the four men. They just needed an order from their Chief and they would kick these four men out of the village.

Tang Shaoyang ignored this Artou, he had his hand holding his chin and had his eyes locked on a woman next to him. Elinova was sitting next to him with a jug of fruit wine, pouring the wine into his empty mug with a gentle smile plastered on his face.

"Never seen a beautiful lady before?" Elin's mature voice escaped from her mouth. She was not bashful in the slightest as she met with the man's gaze, "I have seen many beautiful ladies, but you are third to arouse my desire," Tang Shaoyang got his head closer to Elin and whispered, "The moment I saw you, my heart immediately screamed you are mine!"

"I assume the first two have fallen to you by now?" Elin's smile was getting brighter and wider, her soft red lips were so enticing as she spoke.

"You are right. They have fallen for me but they are not around. You can't meet them now, and I am sure you will fall for me as well," he grinned and whispered, "Just one night, I just need one night, and I am sure you will never forget about me and will fall for me," he was confident after his perk got upgraded into a skill.

"Is this how you capture the first two ladies' hearts?" Elin was not disturbed by Tang Shaoyang's bold words. He was basically telling her to sleep with him one night.

"Nope. The first was an accident while the second one, she just could not refuse my charm, I guess," Tang Shaoyang replied while chugging the mug to his lips.

"I see, an accident huh!?" Elin was wondering what kind of accident was that, but she did not ask. She changed the topic, like where he came from. While the two exchanged conversation, two ladies were eyeing them intensely. Liang Suyin and Delia were watching them intensely.

At the end of the party, Gu Yingjie and Fan Rui looked at their Boss who was flirting with the most beautiful lady in the village. Both were sharing a defeated look like none of the ladies interested in them, "Should we ask Boss to teach us how to pick a girl?" Gu Yingjie considered this option.

"Ah, we can't learn from him. Our Boss just has a natural charm that attracts the ladies. We can't be like our Boss," Fan Rui admitted that he was far inferior to their Boss.

"Guess you are right," Gu Yingjie nodded in agreement, "We can't be the main character just like our Boss," Fan Rui looked at his young friend. The guy would always speak with something he could not understand.

"You don't have to be like your Boss, but be yourself instead," Old Man Rick sat in the middle of the two and put his mug on the table.

Gu Yingjie's eyes brightened, "Can you teach us something, Elder?" The desperate young man asked the old man with a hopeful expression.

"Good, you are not that hopeless. You have a good look, just have not matured yet," the old man nodded and pulled the young guy closer, "First of all, lower your standard. I mean you can't use the same standard as your Boss. Lower your standard and look at your surroundings."

Gu Yingjie was confused by the old man, but Fan Rui immediately understood the old man's words. Yes, he was not his Boss, not as strong as him, not as charismatic as him. However, he kept looking at a woman with his Boss's standard while his value was much lower than his boss's. "Look at your surroundings!" Those words struck into his mind, and he looked at the surroundings. Sure enough, a few ladies were looking at their directions. Sure, they were not as pretty as Elin or Delia, but their looks were above average by Earth's standard.

"Second, you have to be confident. Approach the lady with confidence, not overbearingly like your boss!" At those words, Fan Rui immediately stood up with his mug. He scanned the surroundings before he approached a lone lady.
