Chapter 589 - Cooperation (1)

After she looted a large number of supplies, Shen Yanxiao was finally ready to set off for the Forsaken Land.

She would have two months to gain a firm foothold in the Forsaken Land. The Longxuan Empire would send designated people for the construction work.

The Vermilion Bird hated carriages. Therefore, when Shen Yanxiao left the city, she did not ride with the carriages. The carriages and horses that Tang Nazhi found for her were delivered to the Longxuan Empire’s border by the four beasts’ servants. Shen Yanxiao and her pals had set off in advance. She would collect the horses and carriages when she arrived at the border.

The two Phoenixes were in their human forms when they were with Shen Yanxiao. All of them were on the Vermilion Bird as they flew to the Black City.

As they arrived at the Black City, Shen Yanxiao instructed the Vermilion Bird and Lan Fengli to pick up Uncle Nine and the other villagers while she went to Du Lang.

The Cave Wolves Mercenary Group had been restored to its prime state. The four mercenaries Uncle Nine saved had returned to the team. Du Lang had also heard about the village from them. As such, Du Lang was no longer so resistant to Uncle Nine and the villagers.

Shen Yanxiao stood in front of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group’s gate with the Phoenixes by her sides.

The two mercenaries at the gate were quite young. When they saw the sweet girl in front of the entrance, they tried to put on a handsome face; they lifted their chests and wore a stern look. However, they would also steal some glances of Shen Yanxiao.

They wondered why that beautiful girl was there.

Was she a client?

The two guys were excited about the thought that their mercenary group would soon work for a girl who looked as pretty as a fairy!

“Is Group Leader Du in?” Shen Yanxiao asked with a smile.

One of the mercenaries gulped and stuttered, “Yes… yes…”

“Could you please show me to him? I have something to discuss with him.” Shen Yanxiao knew the two mercenaries. They had acted like big brothers to her then, unlike how they were overcautious and with shyness visible on their faces.

“Sure… Sure.” One of the young mercenaries was in a trance. As he looked at Shen Yanxiao’s delicate face, he felt as if his heart was about to pop out.

Led by the mercenary, Shen Yanxiao entered the mansion of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group. It was in the afternoon, and some of their members were gathered in a room to handle their tasks. When they saw Shen Yanxiao, they were shocked. Some younger mercenaries were so obsessed with her looks that they ran into the columns in the room, making the others laugh.

Du Lang had recovered. At that moment, he was giving orders to the other six wolves in the main hall.

He saw Shen Yanxiao when he was told of her arrival.

“Do you have a mission for us?” Youthful impulses did not plague Du Lang. While he was amazed by Shen Yanxiao’s beauty, he did not appear to be any less calm than usual.

However, the six other wolves shot sharp glares at Shen Yanxiao.

Most of the mercenaries were bachelors. They were so busy with their missions that they would rarely see other girls. A delicate beauty had suddenly appeared in their mercenary group. Of course, those eager men would lose their bearings.

They knew that a pretty flower was not theirs to pick, but who would dislike beauty?

Just a look would be good enough!

Shen Yanxiao chuckled. She said, “It has been several months since we met last time, Group Leader Du. I am glad that you have recovered well.”
