Chapter 256 - Which One Did You Abduct? (2)

“Haha, lass, thanks. I’ll definitely do anything for you in the future,” Old Zao said obsequiously and then patted the blue dragon on the head.

“Little Blue, let’s contract quickly. The lass agreed.”

The blue dragon glanced at Leng Ruoxue, nodded, and initiated the contract.

“Let’s see who still dares to bully me in the future,” Old Zao said cockily after completing the contract. He was basking in reflected glory, which was extremely infuriating.

“Take it and advance!” Leng Ruoxue handed Old Zao a green spirit pill helplessly.

“Little Blue, let’s go. Hehe, you’re going to become a divine beast,” Old Zao said impatiently. He hopped onto the blue dragon’s back and flew out of the general’s mansion to find a place to advance.

“Grandpa Lin, did everything go smoothly?” Leng Ruoxue asked with concern after seeing Lin Liang’s still gloomy face.

“Very smooth. Although that old man seems a little unreliable, he’s very straightforward and efficient when it comes to official business,” Lin Liang explained. This was also one of the main reasons why he was willing to indulge Old Zao so much.

Leng Ruoxue nodded slightly. “Now, the three teams led by Old Man, Patriarch Feng, and the first elder have yet to return.”

“They’re quite far away. They should be back by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest,” Lin Liang said. They had agreed to meet in the Illusionary Forest after resolving the matter. But they didn’t expect this girl to return to the general’s mansion first.

“Grandpa, Grandpa Lin, go back to your rooms to rest first!” Leng Ruoxue suggested. She had already tidied up the general’s mansion and prepared everyone’s room.

“Xue’er, send us into the space!” Leng Qingtian said. He was used to sleeping in the space, so it would be uncomfortable if he went back to his room to sleep.

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue sent the two of them and the dragons into the bracelet with a thought.

“Big Brother, shall we sit here for a while?” Leng Ruoxue asked when she saw only the siblings remained in the garden.

“Xue’er, let’s have hotpot tonight!” Leng Ruohan couldn’t help saying after they sat down. During this period of time, they had been staying in the space and hadn’t had hotpot for a long time.

“Okay, I’ll listen to Big Brother. I’ll arrange for Feng Da and the others to prepare.” Leng Ruoxue stood up and went directly to find Feng Da. After instructing him, she returned to the garden to accompany her brother.

Not long later, Old Yu and Old Zao returned to the general’s mansion.

At night, everyone and the beasts gathered together and began to enjoy hotpot…

…

The next day, the other three teams returned to the general’s mansion one after another. Everyone gathered again and had a lively time to celebrate the successful completion of the matter.

Peace finally returned to the Ling Feng Continent…

After several days of settlement, the influence that the Spiritual Deities brought to the Ling Feng Continent gradually faded, and the people slowly forgot many people and matters that happened. But Leng Ruoxue and the others had long become deeply ingrained in the hearts of people, and they had even become a legend on the entire Ling Feng Continent, forever engraved in people’s hearts…

…

Half a year later, in the garden of General Leng’s mansion…

“Miss, someone from the Mercenary Union requests an audience.” Lü Tao stood in front of Leng Ruoxue, her face full of adoration.

“Didn’t I say that I won’t see anyone?” Leng Ruoxue, who was lying on a recliner with her eyes closed and the little mink in her arms to bask in the sun, frowned slightly. During this half a year, the people of the Ling Feng Continent had resumed their normal lives and didn’t have to be afraid every day. The major associations had also been rebuilt. But the number of people who came to the general’s mansion to visit her suddenly increased, making her very annoyed.

“Miss, Young Master Ju Ri came with the people from the Mercenary Union,” Lü Tao explained.

“Let Ju Ri in, no one else,” Leng Ruoxue ordered directly without giving any face.

“Yes, Miss.” Lü Tao turned and left.

Soon after, Lü Tao led Ju Ri into the garden.

“Haha, Ruoxue, I told them long ago that you wouldn’t see them, but they just didn’t give up and insisted on coming. Don’t blame me!” Ju Ri quickly explained after seeing Leng Ruoxue. He didn’t want this girl to misunderstand.

“I understand. I just don’t know why I need to see them,” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently. Although the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group was under the jurisdiction of the Mercenary Union in theory, she believed that the Mercenary Union wouldn’t dare to manage her, so those people were definitely not here for any good reason.

“The Alchemist Association and the Beast Trainer Association have looked for you frequently, right?” Ju Ri asked with a face full of understanding.

“Oh, Big Brother Ju, you broke through!” Leng Ruoxue suddenly said. During the time she had not seen him, Ju Ri had become an intermediate Spiritual Sovereign.

“My cultivation speed is too embarrassing compared to you monsters. Moreover, it was because of the spirit fruit you gave me,” Ju Ri said helplessly. He had been at peak Spiritual Monarch for a long time and had yet to break through. If not for the fruit Ruoxue gave him, he really didn’t know when he would become a Spiritual Sovereign!

“Big Brother Ju, if your mercenary group can capture a level nine holy beast, I will give you a green spirit pill to help it advance,” Leng Ruoxue promised. The two major mercenary groups, Hurricane and Universe, had always been on good terms with her since she saved them last time. Leng Ruoxue also had a good impression of those hot-blooded and forthright men in these two major mercenary groups, so she would help as much as she could on simple things.

“Ruoxue, I really want to capture a level nine holy beast, but I’m afraid it’s impossible with the strength of our mercenary group.” Ju Ri sighed with some regret.

“Big Brother Ju, you can lure them with benefits! Level nine holy beasts are all smart. If you force it, it will only cause both sides to suffer,” Leng Ruoxue reminded with a light smile.

“Lure? Is that possible?” Ju Ri looked at Leng Ruoxue doubtfully. Are level nine holy beasts so easy to entice?

“How would you know if you don’t try? Many of my beasts delivered themselves to my door,” Leng Ruoxue said proudly.

“Uh! I’ll give it a try if there’s a chance.” Ju Ri nodded seriously.
