Those with a family or influence would not become mercenaries. Only those who had no one to rely on would be willing to walk this dangerous and undignified road.

It was unknown how many mercenary groups like Tie Hua and Strong Gale had in West River City. If they were to disappear one day, no one would care about what happened to them.

On this day, the two groups of mercenaries had completely disappeared. Luo Yao's Strong Gale Mercenary Group had all perished at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, and other than Tie Hua Mercenary Group's leader Tie Hua, the rest of the mercenaries' heads had all fallen to the ground in front of Ling Xiao.

"Mm. Chen Xu, thank you very much. One Soul Concentrating Pill and thirty Orange Soul Pills. I'll have someone deliver them to you in seven days." Ling Xiao nodded with a smile. After having a casual chat with Chen Xu, she dismissed him and his bodyguard, the archer.

The moment Chen Xu returned to Chen Li's shop, the archer bodyguard who had been silent all this time suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Young Lord, Master has asked you to temporarily manage the shop. Master will not be happy if you make such decisions."

Chen Xu laughed without a care. "A-Gong, our family is all merchants. Naturally, we need to be more knowledgeable than other merchants. Ling Xiao is an alchemist, so it's worth it for us to recruit her …"

"But, I keep feeling that there is a dangerous aura on this person, I'm afraid that he will injure the Young Lord." The man called Ah Geng quickly retorted, his tone filled with concern.

"Don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else about this man. He definitely won't easily harm someone he's on good terms with. After all these years of studying by my father's side, I still know a bit of the art of discerning people. I can guarantee that I'll be able to invest in this Ling Xiao fellow, and he'll be extremely profitable, haha."

Many years later, Mr Chen is still proud of his investment and often boasts to his descendants about how he knows people.

Actually, at this point, Chen Xu had more or less been muttering to himself. However, since he had already made his decision, he would not change anything.

Businessmen sometimes needed to be like gamblers.

The price that Chen Xu had paid this time to help Ling Xiao destroy the Iron Flower Mercenary Company was that Chen's Shop had offended the West River Mercenary Union. Not a single mercenary company was willing to make any more deals with Chen's Shop, and the entire Chen's Shop's business had been reduced by 50%.

After sending off Chen Xu, Ling Xiao took out a storage soul chain in the courtyard and arranged everything in it on the ground.

Ling Shiyu was puzzled. Why did Ling Xiao not even look at anything else? Instead, she picked up a message jade slip and began to carefully study it.

Ling Shiyu knew clearly that this soul chain was taken from Tie Hua's body by Ling Xiao. These items were originally made from Tie Hua's body, but now they were Ling Xiao's.

Lu Chun, who was at the side, was also very curious. He ran over without drinking any alcohol and pondered over why Ling Xiao was so interested in a message jade slip.

"Drinking Lu, do you know any Demon Soul Restoration techniques?" Ling Xiao placed the jade letter down and glanced at Lu Chun.

"Demon Soul Restoration Technique." Lu Chun's intoxicated eyes lit up, and he laughed excitedly.

"Nope."

"Tsk." Ling Shiyu looked at her master with disdain, "If you don't know, why are you smiling so happily?"

Lu Chun ignored Ling Shiyu's contempt and pulled Ling Xiao along, "I won't, you teach me."

Ling Xiao revealed a knowing smile. This alcoholic was more clear-headed than anyone else.

A red spiritual power was emitted from between Ling Xiao's eyebrows and shot into Lu Chun's forehead. In an instant, a Green Rank spiritual ability called the Demon Soul Restoration Technique appeared in Lu Chun's mind.

"It's very simple." Lu Chun received the jade letter from Ling Xiao with a confident look.

Soon after, Lu Chun's eyes were fixed on the jade slip. Strange green inscriptions shot out from Lu Chun's eyes and fused into the jade slip.

The jaded script emitted a green light as lines of characters formed from soul power appeared before the three of them.

"Kidnapping Ling Shiyu. Tearing votes after extorting her number and then framing her to Chen's Shop. Forming enmity between the two families. One million yellow crystals as commission. One hundred thousand deposit has been paid. Please check."

Ling Xiao and Lu Chun frowned at the same time. From the looks of it, this matter was not decided by the Tie Hua Mercenary Group, and it was not blamed on the Strong Gale Mercenaries by Tie Hua.

The target of this black hand was not Ling Shiyu, but rather the two big shops, Cheng Shang and Chen Ji.

Who would directly benefit from the enmity between these two big shops?

This question was one that Ling Xiao and Lu Chun had been thinking about.

Originally, by using the Soulsearch technique, Ling Xiao knew who Tie Hua had come into contact with. However, the situation was critical. Ling Xiao only wanted to kill the enemy with a single strike, so she had destroyed Tie Hua's head.

Without her head, there was no place for Ling Xiao to search even if she wanted to.

From the looks of it, the clues seemed to have been cut off.

Without being able to involve the mastermind, Ling Xiao no longer had any thoughts of continuing her closed door cultivation even if she wanted to.

"Seems like I have a good idea." Ling Xiao wiped her nose with her finger and suddenly revealed an extremely relaxed smile, causing Lu Chun and Ling Shiyu's hair to stand on end.

The next day, Ling Xiao disappeared.

Soon after, not long after Ling Shiyu left, she was immediately snatched by an unknown group of people. They left behind a message for Ling Chengtong to hand over ten million yellow crystals in exchange for her daughter's life.

"This outfit is really unbearable. This damn girl is really willing to spray so much perfume on me. Could it be that the stench from my body is very strong? Wipe." Confining herself in a secret chamber that was sealed everywhere, Ling Xiao could only helplessly endure the smell of the perfume.

Ling Xiao would rather stay among a bunch of stinking men than have her nose broken by such a thick perfume.

In the past, when they were at the Floating Red Courtyard in the Northern Jun City, although those girls also wore perfume, they would definitely not be as reckless as Ling Shiyu. However, there was nothing she could do about it.

This plan was suggested by Ling Xiao herself, so Ling Shiyu righteously allowed Ling Xiao to cooperate.

"Forget it, let's settle this first. Next time, I won't do anything stupid like this no matter what." Ling Xiao harrumphed twice. She wanted to cross her legs, but when she suddenly recalled that she was now 'Ling Shiyu', he could only bitterly give up on that idea.

Looking at her outfit, Ling Xiao viciously thought to herself: If I were to take off all my clothes now, wouldn't that mean I'd see that girl over and over again? Ahem...

"Caw." A long door creaked open, and a thick metal door was opened. A young man with bright and colorful clothes, looking like a human, walked in under the protection of two bald men.

As soon as that young master saw "Ling Shiyu", his eyes immediately lit up, not concealing the naked look in his eyes.

"Ling Shiyu's entire body shivered, and she said with a trembling voice:" You, you, you …. "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

This young master, who was like a green fly, had a lecherous smile on his face. "Little girl, you don't need to know who I am. You only need to know that when you serve me well, I'll spare your life once I feel better."

As he said that, he slowly walked towards "Ling Shiyu". That lecherous look was as disgusting as it could get.

Ling Shiyu pointed at the two bald men with a trembling finger: "He … "They are …"

"Aiya, you're still shy? Haha, I like it." He waved his hand casually and said, "Both of you go down, come in when I tell you to."

"Yes, Second Young Master." The two expressionless bald men complied, then left the secret room, closing the door behind them.

Looking at this guy who had fallen into her trap, the corner of "Ling Shiyu's" mouth curled into an imperceptible sneer.

"Little girl, your big brother Long is here, haha …" That young master quickly took off all his clothes and rubbed his hands. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said, "I've played all kinds of girls from noble families and great sects. I've never touched a wild taste like you. Come on …"

The young master opened his arms wide and pounced forward, and then his chest struck an incomparably sharp dagger.

This young master's eyes were staring at his boss. He had never thought that this girl, whose soul power had been sealed by someone, would suddenly make a move. Furthermore, her move was incomparably fast, accurate, and vicious.

Ling Xiao did not waste any more time on this fellow. She pulled out her dagger and ended his life.

Following that, Ling Xiao used her soul search skill to record this fellow's memories into the Image Soul Stone.

This fellow really wasn't lying. In his memories, more than half of them were in bed with all kinds of girls. When Ling Xiao saw this, she could not help but curse silently, "Beast, how can you be more lucky than your Grandpa Ling?"

Soon after, Ling Xiao searched through the memories with his fastest speed and could not help but frown.

Very bored, Ling Xiao kicked the body of the young master. She took out a message jade chip and sent the message she was about to send out.

Following that, Ling Xiao raised her hands and rubbed her face a few times. A miraculous scene played out. Ling Shiyu's face, after just a few twists and turns, had turned into the face of that young master.

Then, Ling Xiao stretched her limbs and after a series of cracking sounds of bones, Ling Xiao turned into the appearance of a dead young master.
