“Blazing Flame Mercenary Group, this name isn’t bad! Xue’er, you have to give me a good position!” Ye Chen said.
“I’ll make you the leader,” Leng Ruoxue said. She intended to be an arm-flinging shopkeeper1.
“You should be the leader since they are your subordinates. I can just be a deputy leader,” Ye Chen said. How can I not know what’s going through Xue’er’s mind? I definitely won’t give her the chance to be lazy!
“Yes, Xue’er. You should be the leader,” Feng Moran echoed.
“Yes, Miss. You should be the leader of our mercenary group,” the fifteen mercenaries also repeated.
“See, this is what everyone wants,” Ye Chen said with some pride.
“Well, alright then!” Leng Ruoxue said reluctantly. She looked at these fifteen people carefully. Except for Feng Da, who was a Spiritual Monarch, the rest were actually Great Spiritualists. Such a group of spiritualists was truly luxurious for an ordinary mercenary group. Probably only the three major mercenary groups would be able to have such a lineup!
“Big Brother Feng, please share this with them.” Leng Ruoxue took out a bottle of spiritual essence pills and handed it to Feng Moran. These people might be good in the eyes of others. But in her opinion, their strength was still too low.
“Okay.” Feng Moran took the pills and handed everyone one except Feng Da.
“These are… spiritual essence pills?” Feng Da’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had seen a spiritual essence pill once in the mercenary group. It was very similar to these but wasn’t the same.
After hearing what he said, the other fourteen were all startled. Are these… really spiritual essence pills? If they were not orphans, they came from ordinary commoner families. Spiritual essence pills had sky-high prices, so they naturally wouldn’t have seen them before.
“Prepare to advance after taking the pills!” Feng Moran said with a smile.
After hearing what he said, they quickly put the pills in their mouths and then directly sat cross-legged on the ground, not daring to delay for a single moment.
Leng Ruoxue watched as Feng Da looked at his subordinates’ advancement with envy and threw him a red fruit. “Eat it!”

“Thank you, Miss,” Feng Da said gratefully. Even if he didn’t recognize the fruit, he could feel the very rich spiritual energy coming from it and knew that it was definitely something good. He carefully held the fruit, found an open spot to sit down, and then consumed it.
“On behalf of my silver wolf tribe, I have decided to acknowledge you as our master,” the silver wolf king, who had been silent, suddenly said. The reason why he had been silent just now was that he was discussing this with his tribe. He decided to acknowledge her as his master for the sake of his son, but he didn’t want to force the other silver wolves. After discussing it with them, he didn’t expect the proposal to pass unanimously.

“Big Sister, Big Sister, Fengfeng wants to be together with Big Sister,” the little wolf said happily.
“Okay,” Leng Ruoxue coaxed. But her gaze was on the silver wolf king. She knew that silver wolves liked their freedom, so she was surprised that they would make such a decision.
“You are different from other humans. We believe in you, and Fengfeng doesn’t want to leave you, and we don’t want to be separated from our own child,” the silver wolf king explained.
“Don’t worry. You will all be my family from now on,” Leng Ruoxue said sincerely.
The silver wolf king nodded and then took the initiative to establish the contract with her. Then the silver wolf queen, the little wolf, and all the silver wolves also acknowledged her as their master in turn. Contract arrays flashed for a long time before slowly disappearing.

Feng Moran looked at the huge number of arrays, stunned. This was the first time he has seen a person contract with so many spirit beasts in his life. Moreover, it was the spirit beasts who took the initiative to establish the contracts. It seemed like his ability to bear surprises would indeed improve as long as he was with Xue’er.
In contrast, Ye Chen and Mu Li seemed much calmer.

After the silver wolves acknowledged her as their master, Leng Ruoxue let all the silver wolves enter the spirit beast space, while she brought the silver wolf king and his family directly into the Heaven and Earth Bracelet.

After she finished settling the silver wolves, the mercenaries began to advance one after another.
After most of them advanced, Leng Ruoxue spoke to Ye Chen and the others and then entered her tent.
After entering her tent, she went straight into the Heaven and Earth Bracelet. She watched Little Fengfeng sprinting around excitedly and knew instantly that this little guy was adapting well. Blaze also had a little partner now. As for the silver wolf king and queen, they were still adapting.
Leng Ruoxue didn’t bother them. She walked straight into the purple bamboo house and looked at the sleeping Baby. Then she calmed her mind and prepared to refine artifacts.
During this period of time, she had spent much more time on alchemy than artificing, so her artificing level was not very high. However, she planned to use her time refining artifacts tonight.
The next morning, after getting out of her tent, she found that everyone was busy, and their spirits were very high. After seeing her, they all stopped working and gathered in front of her, looking at her with gratitude.
“Miss.”
“Very good.” Leng Ruoxue looked at the fifteen people in front of her. Feng Da was now an advanced Spiritual Monarch, and three were now intermediate Spiritual Monarchs among the other fourteen people.
Leng Ruoxue took out fourteen badges, gave them to Feng Da, and asked him to share them with the others. The badges were golden and had two small beasts on the front. One was a blazing flame lion, and the other was a silver wolf. They were the images of Blaze and Little Fengfeng. Each of their names was engraved on the back of each badge.
After Feng Da finished distributing them, seeing that he did not have one, he looked at Leng Ruoxue eagerly.
Leng Ruoxue took out a purplish-gold badge and handed it to Feng Da amusedly. Feng Da took the badge and happily pinned it on the left side of his chest.
“The badges need a drop of blood to recognize their master,” Leng Ruoxue said.
After hearing this, the fifteen of them hurriedly dripped blood onto their badges. After that, all of them became stunned.
“What happened to them?” Feng Moran asked curiously as he walked toward Xue’er.
“This is yours. It will recognize you as its master with a drop of blood.” Leng Ruoxue handed Feng Moran a purple badge.
“Oh.” Feng Moran did the same without even thinking about it and then became stunned like the others.
“What good thing is that?” Ye Chen came forward, carrying two spirit beasts that resembled pigs.
