After hearing this, everyone quickly summoned the flying spirit beasts that they had recently contracted. Their young lady usually didn’t allow them to use them. In the words of their young lady, it was to train their endurance.

Feng Moran summoned the flying spirit beast that he had never had the opportunity to use and was ready and waiting for Xue’er to issue the order.

Mu Li also has his own flying spirit beast, but only Ye Chen did not have one. However, he did not need to be invited by others, nor was he embarrassed. Instead, he sat directly on Quill’s back with his arms wrapped around Leng Ruoxue’s waist casually.

“Xue’er, you have to protect me. I’m afraid of heights.” Ye Chen’s face looked terrified. It was obvious that he wanted to take advantage of her.

Leng Ruoxue could do nothing about his cheekiness. She rolled her eyes at him and didn’t bother to care about him. She waved her hand to signal everyone to go.

It only took a few hours before they reached the vicinity of the purple pearl fruit. Leng Ruoxue sat on Quill’s back and flew around. Seeing that the place closest to the fruit was already full of people, she chose a place not too far away from it as their temporary camp. Everyone seemed to be waiting for the purple pearl fruit to mature. After everyone landed, they quickly set up a camp, lit a fire, and prepared to cook.

“Miss, in addition to the Anaconda Mercenary Group, the Hurricane Mercenary Group and the Universal Mercenary Group are also here. Among the Five Great Families, only the Xu family is here. In addition, there are several teams sent by some small and medium-sized mercenary groups and families. As for the guardian holy beast, I heard it’s a level nine king kong great ape.” Lin Yuan, whom Leng Ruoxue had sent to scout for news, reported when he returned.

“King kong great ape?” Leng Ruoxue pondered.

“Xue’er, a king kong great ape isn’t easy to deal with. They’re very rare spirit beasts with both offensive and defensive capabilities. They have extraordinary strength and combat power,” Ye Chen said from the side.

Leng Ruoxue nodded. She also knew that a king kong great ape would be difficult to deal with, but she was not too worried because she had Charm with her.

“Beloved Master, how could you forget Darling? Leave that silly orangutan to your Darling.” Darling jumped into Leng Ruoxue’s arms and acted coquettishly.

“You can beat it?” Leng Ruoxue looked up and down at the small and cute Darling.?With his small arms and legs, wouldn’t that giant ape slap him flat before he could do anything?

“Master, fighting is a barbaric behavior. How can I, your Darling, do something so crude?” Darling said in contempt. He was a gentlemanly fox who didn’t like fighting.

“What method do you have then?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.

“One cannot reveal the secrets of the heavens,” Darling said proudly.

This little thing actually left her hanging. Leng Ruoxue rubbed Darling’s fluffy little head. “You don’t get any share of dinner tonight.”

“Beloved Master, how can you bear to let your dearest Darling go hungry?” Darling wailed pitifully. His silver eyes complained with tears in them yet looked at Ye Chen triumphantly, full of provocation.

Ye Chen looked at the little purple fox lying in Leng Ruoxue’s arms, acting coquettishly and provoking him. He only found him an eyesore. If Xue’er weren’t here, he would have thrown out this stinky, coquettish fox.?How dare he compete with me.

Leng Ruoxue felt a headache watching the silent sparks fly between the human and the fox.

Charm jumped onto Leng Ruoxue’s shoulder and said softly, “Master, food is ready.”

“Charm is still the most well-behaved.” Leng Ruoxue deliberately ran her hand through Charm’s beautiful and white fluffy fur.

“Xue’er, I’m very well-behaved too!”

“Beloved Master, your Darling is also very well-behaved!”

The human and fox spoke in unison while shooting their jealous eyes at Charm, achieving a tacit understanding to cooperate.

“Hurry up and eat. Then rest early after dinner,” Leng Ruoxue said.

“Okay.”

The next morning, Leng Ruoxue got out of her tent and saw only Feng Moran, Ye Chen, and Mu Li.

“Feng Da and the others went out so early?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.?It isn’t time for breakfast yet, right? Or did I get up late?

“They said they had something to do and would be back later,” Ye Chen explained. It was so early in the morning, and yet they were sneaking around. Who knew what they were doing.

“Miss, we are back,” Feng Da said, a little embarrassed.

“You… Were you robbed?” Feng Moran’s eyes widened in disbelief. Every one of them was in tattered clothing and had bloodstains on their bodies. Their cheeks were swollen blue and purple, as though they had just been beaten.

“Very good.” Leng Ruoxue glanced at their condition. Big Brother Feng only saw their appearance, but she noticed that their current strength was the same as before they advanced. The badges she gave them had the function of hiding their true strength, and they seemed to have used it. While she didn’t care about the Xu family and the Anaconda Mercenary Group, she understood and accepted their intentions for doing this.

Ye Chen and Mu Li just glanced at them and didn’t say anything.

“Young Master! Young Master! I almost couldn’t see you anymore!” Covered in blood, Feng Da ignored the strange gazes of everyone present, threw himself at the young man’s side, and wept bitterly. The dozen or so people behind him were all in bad shape as well.

“You are Feng Da? What happened to you?” The young man was puzzled. Feng Da and his team might not be the very best in their mercenary group, but they were definitely among the best. How could they be in such a miserable state?

“Young Master, we encountered two earth pythons, both of which were holy beasts. So we…” Feng Da hesitated and stopped speaking.

“Earth pythons? What about Lin’er and my third brother? Where are they?” a middle-aged man rushed out of the crowd and asked anxiously.

“Second Young Lady and Third Master were killed by the earth pythons,” Feng Da said with a sad expression.

“Dead? What about the corpses?” The middle-aged man didn’t believe Feng Da. His third brother was a Spiritual Sovereign. Even if he encountered a holy beast-level earth python, he possessed enough strength to fend it off. Moreover, there were these mercenaries to help. How could he possibly die so easily?

“They were eaten by the earth pythons,” Feng Da lied without so much as a fluster.

“Nonsense. If my third brother, who is a Spiritual Sovereign, was eaten by the earth pythons, then how could you still be alive?” the middle-aged man said furiously. He did not care about Xu Lin’er’s life or death, but his third brother… was his blood younger brother.
