CHAPTER 626: CHAPTER 494: FURY FOR A BEAUTY

Since Lan Cai’er detected the trap and cleverly disguised herself, Yan Jiu observed everything.

He initially thought Lan Cai’er would unleash her fury like a mother tyrannosaur, storming back to the camp to confront Xia Family’s Three Sisters or even face Song Jingyun.

But she didn’t. Although her body trembled with anger, she eventually calmed herself down.

She could even pretend as if nothing had happened and continue to do what a mercenary should do.

This little woman, who usually goes crazy at the slightest provocation, clawing and snarling like a small mother beast, when did she learn to consider the bigger picture and think about the team?

Or was it Dao Ge that she cared about?

Hmph, with this thought, Yan Jiu coldly sneered in extreme dissatisfaction.

"Silly woman, who asked you to endure all by yourself." Picking up a piece of tattered sleeve next to the trap, Yan Jiu glanced at the trap.

The sleeve moved without wind, creating a whirlwind that swept up the mud and quickly filled the trap, leaving no trace that someone had died here.

"Mercenary Alliance, Song Cheng..." In a flash, Yan Jiu’s figure vanished without a trace.

Lan Cai’er scouted until the evening, during which she occasionally instructed Little Zhiyo and Ye Lingyue to stay in touch.

By the time she returned to the Mercenary Alliance, it was already dusk.

Seeing her return safe and sound, both Xia Family’s Three Sisters and Song Jingyun were secretly amazed.

"How come I haven’t seen Yan Jiu all day?" Lan Cai’er, who almost lost her life today and did not want Ye Lingyue to worry, specifically bribed Little Zhiyo with "a hundred roasted chicken legs."

Yet even so, thinking about how she nearly died because of Yan Jiu, Lan Cai’er was fuming.

"Didn’t the deputy team leader look for you? But in the morning, I clearly saw his eyes turn green, saying he was going to find you." Ye Lingyue didn’t know where Yan Jiu had gone.

"Humph, don’t mention it. That guy must have gone somewhere to sleep and slack off," Lan Cai’er said with deep resentment.

Suddenly, a cold breeze blew by her ear.

She shivered, and the next moment, a heavy body leaned on her shoulders.

"Little Lanlan, speaking ill of someone behind their back is not ethical," said Yan Jiu lazily, lying on Lan Cai’er’s shoulders.

"Which ear of yours heard me talking behind your back? I was speaking right to your face. Get lost, it’s suffocating," Lan Cai’er said angrily, pushing Yan Jiu away, but he remained unbothered, like a pig not afraid of boiling water.

Listening to the quarrel between Sai and Lan Cai’er in the camp, Dao Ge, who was lighting a campfire, dropped his fire starter stone on the ground.

Seeing his distracted look, Song Jingyun clenched her teeth in anger.

What exactly was Song Cheng doing? Wasn’t he ordered to kill Lan Cai’er by any means necessary?

Song Jingyun fumed.

Right then, a crane landed in her hands.

Upon opening the message, her expression changed in an instant.

Today, a group of thugs suddenly stormed into the Mercenary Alliance, led by a skilled individual with a silver mask. They killed Guest Elder Song Cheng and several powerful elders.

In the Mercenary Alliance, where masters are abundant, the killed Song Cheng was himself an expert of Reincarnation Fourth Path.

He was directly slaughtered.

Moreover, several female mercenaries had disappeared from the city.

Song Jingyun happened to know that those female mercenaries were admirers of Sai, linking everything together seemed too coincidental.

The first suspect Song Jingyun thought of was Lan Cai’er, but as soon as this thought emerged, she denied it.

That girl, let alone killing Song Cheng, couldn’t have made a round trip to Mercenary City within a single day.

The remaining part was just...

Song Jingyun glanced at Emperor’s Slaughter, but she couldn’t be sure.

The strength of "Emperor’s Slaughter" had always been great, but even her father, Alliance Hierarch Song, did not know the true strength of Di Hesha.

Emperor’s Slaughter was indeed absent today during the day, could it be him...

"Jingyun, what’s wrong, standing here alone and daydreaming?" Dao Ge stepped forward.

"No, just my father asking about the situation along the way." Song Jingyun smiled and quickly glanced at Emperor’s Slaughter.

Noticing that he hadn’t paid attention to her, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned back into the understanding Song Jingyun.

Lan Cai’er was entangled by Long Baobao to tell a story, Ye Lingyue went to find food as usual.

Wu Zhong stepped into Yan Jiu’s tent.

Yan Jiu looked tired, leaning to one side.

"Did you go killing?"

Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er might not have noticed, but Wu Zhong had already sensed a trace of a bloody scent from Yan Jiu.

"Just killed a few who were asking for it, had bad luck, clashed a few times with that old guy Song Jishi." Yan Jiu’s strength, even if confronted face-to-face with Alliance Hierarch Song, could retreat safely, just that he was rushing back, so he was somewhat tired.

However, this tiredness disappeared immediately when he saw Lan Cai’er’s anxious and annoyed expression.

"For her?" Wu Zhong remembered, when he first entered the Mercenary Alliance, someone kept nagging by his ear to stay humble and prudent, the mighty dragon cannot suppress the local snake.

Now it’s good, who was the one, who out of anger for a beauty, lost all principles.

"Who would do it for that ugly woman? I did it for the face of ’Emperor’s Slaughter’." Yan Jiu continued with his insincere words.

"Heh~"

"Wu Zhong, what do you mean, you don’t believe me?"

"Heh~"

"Damn, can’t you say something human?"

At this moment, Ye Lingyue, far from the camp, always felt that today, both Lan Cai’er and Yan Jiu were somewhat off.

Although it was very subtle, Ye Lingyue distinctly smelled a blood scent on both of them.

No, tonight when I go back, I must ask my sister again, Ye Lingyue thought distractedly, not even realizing when someone suddenly appeared in front of her.

She bumped into him unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue startled, only to find, the person blocking her path was actually Bo Qing.

"Why are you here?"

Ye Lingyue, to facilitate entering and leaving Hong Meng Heaven, intentionally stayed away from the camp, not knowing Bo Qing would stealthily follow her, even her spiritual power failed to detect him.

But upon thinking again, Bo Qing, known as the Treasure Child, she had Elixirs like Breath Seal Pill that could conceal one’s aura, probably Bo Qing had them too.

Bo Qing awaited Ye Lingyue’s face, suddenly lifted his hand, and desperately rubbed her face with his sleeve.

"What are you doing!"

Ye Lingyue got annoyed, Bo Qing, what does he take her face for, rubbing so hard, the skin was almost about to be rubbed off.

"Why is it still so black." Bo Qing also looked frustrated.

He stared at Ye Lingyue’s nose, eyes, and mouth, unwilling to miss any spot.

The more he looked, the more he felt, very similar to Hong Shisan, apart from the darker skin, this black girl called Hei Yue, was simply the spitting image of Hong Shisan!
