Chapter 29 Heaven's Secret Must Not Be Revealed

  The mercenaries who had come back to their senses all nodded in agreement with Feng Mo's point of view. The young lady was indeed a pervert, but because this pervert was the young lady of their household, the person they were supposed to follow, the more perverted she was, the better!

  The power of the Spirit King, a defensive Sacred Artifact, and Miss said that they also had to help them contract with the Spirit Beast. Heaven, such equipment, they didn't even dare think about it before, but this has further solidified their determination to follow Miss forever.

  "Cold as snow, looking at the crowd in front of her with faces full of excitement. 'Since you are now under my command, I will naturally provide you with the best equipment. As for how far you can go, that's not something I can decide.' The implication being, I give you equal opportunities, what kind of position you can get depends on your own efforts."

  "We won't let Miss disappoint." Fifteen people said in unison.

  "Feng Da, from now on you are still their captain." said Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Yes." Feng Da hastily replied, his face barely concealing his excitement. He had originally thought that following this young lady would at least keep him safe, but he hadn't expected such a huge surprise.

  "In the future, whatever can be solved by yourself should be solved by yourself. If it can't be solved... don't bother me with it either." Leng Ruoxue said irresponsibly, she hated being bothered.

  “……”

  Feng Da was stunned, his eyes wide with confusion. "Miss, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to be a absentee boss?" But at the same time, he couldn't just ignore them either. Thinking of this, Feng Da looked at Leng Ruo Xue with a hint of grievance.

  "If there's something that can't be solved, who am I supposed to find?" Feng Da had a "Miss, you can't ignore us" expression on his face.

  Leng Ruo Xue thought for a moment, then her hand carelessly pointed, and Feng Mo Ran was suddenly caught off guard. "Find him, from now on he will be your direct superior."

  "Xue Er..." The wind whispered, looking at Leng Ruo Xue with a hint of grievance.

  "It's settled then, Feng Mu Ran, Ye Chen and Mu Li will be the deputy commanders of our mercenary group from now on. If you have any matters, go find them, just don't bother me." Leng Ruo Xue had made up her mind to become a hands-off boss.

  "Hmm, from now on, just find him for small matters, and come find me for big ones." Ye Chen also pointed at Feng Mo Ran.

  "You all..." fell silent, what kind of people are you!

  Alas, Feng Da has figured it out. Each and every one of them doesn't want to take care of anything. How can there be such lazy people in this world?

  "Miss, I've drafted a set of rules for the mercenary group. Fengtuan has already reviewed it and said he needs you to approve it." Feng Da found Leng Ruxue and said.

  "He just needs to take a look and it's fine, no need to show me." Leng Ruoxue said with a headache as she looked at the thick stack of papers in Feng Da's hand.

  "Miss, you are the team leader, we can only carry out this plan with your agreement." Feng Da explained.

  "Oh, then just put it aside for now, I'll take a look when I have time." Leng Ruoxue slightly furrowed her brow and said, "It's so thick!"

  Feng Da put down the rules in his hand and went to busy himself with other things.

  "Miss, we're back. We picked a lot of herbs today." Lin Yuan handed the storage ring to Leng Ruo Xue, knowing that Miss was an alchemist, so as long as they saw herbs, they wouldn't let them go. To be honest, ordinary herbs were not something they would have picked in the past.

  "Thank you." Leng Ruoxue took the ring and moved the herbs to her own ring, then returned the ring to Lin Yuan. Basically, every mercenary would learn some knowledge of distinguishing herbs, so as not to encounter valuable herbs that they didn't recognize when going on a mission.

  "Miss, I also heard some news." Lin Yuan said mysteriously.

  "What news?" Leng Ruoxue was somewhat curious, these days, Lin Yuan and the others had raised their sights a lot, ordinary news would probably not be able to arouse his interest.

  "Ugli fruit."

  "Where is it?" The effects of the Zi Zhu fruit and Bi Ling fruit are almost the same, both being more beneficial to spiritual beasts, helping them advance in rank. For humans, they only serve to supplement their spiritual energy. Although the Zi Zhu fruit is not essential for Leng Ruoxue, she doesn't have any on hand at the moment, and with so many spiritual beasts in their household, it will definitely come in handy later.

  "It's about a two-day journey from here, and I've heard that there are 9th-level sacred beasts guarding it. The Xu family seems to be there too, and they're said to be determined to get the Purple Jade Fruit." Lin Yuan told Cold Snow what he had found out.

  Is this Xu's house? Leng Ruoxue called Feng Da over and told him to inform everyone to pack their things, they were leaving immediately.

  "Xu'er, why are we in such a hurry?" Ye Chen looked at Leng Ruo Xue with some confusion.

  They stared at Ling Xue in confusion, didn't Snow say they would rest for two days before departing?

  To know that these days, they not only caught many high-ranking spiritual beasts to contract, but also Snow arranged special training for them, and they were all exhausted.

  "There is a purple fruit in front." said Leng Ruoxue.

  "Today, I permit you to use the flying spirit beasts." said Leng Ruoxue as she summoned her own and planned to hurry to the vicinity of the Zi Zhuo fruit to rest properly with the whole team.

  Everyone listened and hastily summoned their own flying spirit beasts, which were contracted not long ago. Normally, the young lady would not allow them to use it, saying that they needed to train their endurance.

  Feng Mo Ran also summoned a flying spirit beast that he had never had the chance to use before, making preparations and waiting for Xue Er's orders.

  Mù Lí also had his own flying spirit beast, only Yè Chén didn't have one. However, he didn't need anyone's invitation and wouldn't feel embarrassed; instead, he directly sat on Yuè's back, with his arm casually wrapping around Lěng Ruò Xuě's waist.

  "Xue Er, you have to protect me, I'm afraid of heights." Ye Chen said with a fearful face, obviously intimidated by her.

  Leng Ruoxue had no way to deal with his thick skin, so she gave him a white eye and stopped paying attention to him. She waved her hand, indicating that everyone should set off.

  It only took them a few hours to reach the vicinity of the Zi Zhuo fruit. Cold-as-snow sat on Yu's back, flew around in a circle, and saw that the place closest to the Zi Zhuo fruit was already crowded with people. Everyone seemed to be waiting for the Zi Zhuo fruit to ripen. She chose a spot not too far from the Zi Zhuo fruit, but with fewer people, as their temporary campsite. After everyone landed, they quickly set up their tents and started a fire to prepare dinner.

  "Miss, apart from the Crazy Boa Mercenary Corps, the Hurricane and Cang Yu two major mercenary corps have also sent people. Among the five great families, only the Xu family has come. In addition, there are several teams that are some medium-sized mercenary corps and family representatives. As for the Guardian Sacred Beast, I heard it's a 9th-level Golden Giant Ape." Lin Yuan reported back to Leng Ruo Xue after being sent to gather information.

  "King Kong?" thought Ling Ruoxue.

  "Xue Er, the Golden Giant Ape is not easy to deal with. It's a rare spiritual beast that excels at both offense and defense, with boundless strength and formidable power." said Ye Chen beside her.

  Leng Ruo Xue nodded slightly, she also knew that King Kong was hard to deal with, but with Mei around, she wasn't too worried.

  "Dear master, how could you forget about your treasure? That silly monkey can be left to me, your treasure." Treasure jumped into Leng Ruo Xue's arms and said coquettishly.

  "Can you win a fight?" Cold-as-snow looked up and down at the small, cute treasure, with its tiny arms and legs. Wouldn't it be flattened by just one slap from someone else?

  "Master, fighting is the behavior of barbarians. My treasure, how could I possibly do such a rude thing?" The fox said with an innocent face, it was a gentlemanly and non-aggressive fox.

  "What's your solution?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity.

  "It's a secret!" Baby said with a pout.
