Chapter Thirty: Why Not Rescue Us Xu Family First?

  This little thing actually sold out with her, Leng Ruo Xue rubbed the soft and fluffy little head of Bao Bei "No dinner for you tonight."

  "Dear master, how can you bear to starve your dearest treasure?" The treasure looked pitiful, its silver eyes welling up with tears as it accused, but its gaze was instead gleefully provocative towards Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen looked at the fox sprawled in Leng Ruo Xue's arms, flirting with her, and couldn't help but feel annoyed by the purple little fox. If it weren't for Xue Er being there, he would have thrown that flirtatious stinky fox out long ago, daring to compete with him for attention.

  Leng Ruo Xue watched the silent exchange of gazes between the man and the fox, feeling a bit of a headache.

  "Master, dinner is ready." Mei jumped onto Leng Ruo Xue's shoulder and said softly.

  "Still the most obedient." Cold-as-snow intentionally smoothed out Mei's beautiful white fluffy fur.

  "Xue Er, I'm also well-behaved!"

  "Your lovely owner, your baby is also very well-behaved!"

  One person and one fox spoke in unison, their jealous eyes shot towards Mei, what a perfect tacit understanding.

  "Hurry up and eat, finish your meal and rest early," said Leng Ruoxue.

  "Oh."

  The next morning, Leng Ruo Xue came out of the tent and only saw Feng Mo Ran, Ye Chen and Mu Li.

  "Feng Da and they left so early?" Leng Ruo Xue asked curiously, hadn't it not been time for breakfast yet? Or had she gotten up late?

  "They said something came up and they'll be back in a bit." Ye Chen explained, early this morning, they were sneaking around, no one knew what they were doing.

  "Miss, we're back." Feng Da said with some embarrassment.

  "Have you... been robbed?" Feng Mo Ran stared with wide eyes, disbelieving, and saw that these fifteen people were all shabbily dressed, with bloodstains on their bodies, and bruises of different colors on their faces, as if they had just been beaten.

  "Very good." Leng Ruoxue glanced at their current state, Feng Dage only saw their appearance, but she noticed that their current strength level was the same as when they hadn't advanced before. The badges she gave them had a hidden function to conceal their true power, and it seemed they had used it. Although she didn't care about the Xu family and the Crazy Python Mercenary Corps, she accepted their intentions.

  Yè Chén and Mù Lí just glanced at them and didn't express any opinion.

  "Master, master, I almost didn't get to see you!" Feng Da, covered in blood, couldn't care less about the strange looks from the crowd and directly threw himself at a young man's side, wailing and crying. The other ten or so people carried two simple stretchers behind him, also looking miserable.

  "Are you Feng Da? What's going on?" The young man asked somewhat puzzled, Feng Da and his team were not the strongest in their mercenary group, but they were definitely among the top, so how could they end up like this, some injured, others crippled.

  "Young master, we've encountered two earth pythons, both are sacred beasts, so..." Feng Da said, hesitating to continue.

  "What about Tǔ Huáng? Where are Lin'er and my third brother?" A middle-aged man rushed out of the crowd, asking anxiously.

  "Second Miss and Third Master were both killed by the earth python." Feng Da said with a painful expression.

  "Dead? Where's the body?" The middle-aged man still didn't believe Feng Da's words. His third brother was the Ling Emperor, after all. Even if he had encountered a Sacred Beast-level earth python, it wasn't like he wouldn't have any power to fight back. Moreover, with these mercenaries helping out, it was even more unlikely. However, getting injured by an earth python was possible, but how could he die so easily?

  "It was eaten by a python." Feng Da said calmly.

  "Nonsense, my third brother is the Spirit Emperor, and he was eaten by the earth python. How can you still be alive?" The middle-aged man said furiously, he didn't care about Xu Lin'er's life or death, but his third brother... that was his own brother.

  "We were rescued by others; otherwise, how could we have survived?" Feng Da explained.

  "Who saved you then?" the middle-aged man asked angrily.

  "After saving us, they left."

  "Why didn't you save my third brother first instead of saving you?" The middle-aged man was very indignant.

  "Xu Lao, although we are mercenaries and our status is low, not comparable to the noble status of San Ye and Miss Xu Er, but we mercenaries are also human beings raised by our parents. Please do not insult our dignity. Moreover, can't we decide who to save for the sake of our benefactor?" Feng Da spoke with righteous words.

  Feng Da's words resonated with the mercenaries present, and Xu Changsheng's previous remarks about looking down on the lives of mercenaries had already made them somewhat dissatisfied. Now Feng Da's words completely triggered their dissatisfaction.

  "It's just that your Xu family's lives are precious, but our mercenaries' lives aren't worth anything?" someone in the crowd said.

  "It's just that the Xu family has gone too far, isn't this bullying?" someone else said.

  "Zhang Jian, the young master of your mercenary group, has not provided adequate protection. This matter must be explained to our Xu family!" The middle-aged man was criticized by everyone's words and his face turned iron-blue with anger, so he directly shifted the spearhead towards the young master of the Crazy Python Mercenary Group, demanding an explanation.

  "This..." Zhang Jian furrowed his brow, fiercely glaring at Feng Da. He's really good at causing trouble for their mercenary group. Afterwards, he turned his head to give a meaningful glance to the two young masters of the Storm and Cangyu mercenary groups, Rì Jī and Cāng Rǎn, hoping they could help him out. However, those two didn't even bother to look at him, and Zhang Jian was getting annoyed!

  "Mr. Xu, this matter is indeed a mistake of our Crazy Python Mercenary Group. To make up for your loss, we are willing to hand them over to you for disposal." Zhang Jian said with a heavy heart, although Feng Da's team was one of the main forces of their mercenary group, but the Xu family was not someone they could afford to offend, if they didn't sacrifice a few people, it would be hard to dispel the hatred in the Xu family's hearts, so they had no choice but to sacrifice them, hoping that the Xu family would see their sincerity and not pursue the matter further.

  "Zhang Shaozhu, you're a sensible person, our master will see your sincerity." Xu Changlao said with appreciation. The cooperation between the Xu family and the Crazy Python Mercenary Group had always been very close, so he was clear that the master would not destroy the Crazy Python Mercenary Group just for his brother and Lin'er, who seemed to be favored. After all, there were many things that the Xu family couldn't handle themselves and still needed the help of the Crazy Python Mercenary Group. However, since someone had died, it was impossible to let it go without any investigation. The Xu family's face must be saved after all.

  "Master, you can't give up on us!" Feng Da exclaimed in anguish.

  Young Master!

  Young Master!

  "No need to shout anymore, from now on you have been expelled by the Mercenary Group of Mad Python, you are no longer our people." Zhang Jian said with a tone of adding insult to injury.

  "Go down and accompany my brother!" Xu Changlao's face was ferocious as he raised the knife in his hand, gathering spiritual energy on the blade, and slashed at the dozens of people.

  "Ding!" The knife in Old Man Xu's hand was knocked to the ground by a burst of spiritual energy.

  "Who? Who is it, come out?" Xu Lao shouted angrily.

  "The person I saved is not someone who can be killed at will by others!" Leng Ruoxue and her four companions walked out of the crowd.

  As soon as they appeared, they immediately stunned the whole audience, and their stunning beauty made people reluctant to look away.

  "Was it you who saved them?" Xu Chang asked, gritting his teeth. Among the four of them, there was a high-ranking Spirit Emperor and a high-ranking Spirit King, but he couldn't see the strength of the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him or that black-clothed maniac.

  "Not bad, it's us who saved you." Leng Ruoxue said coldly.

  "Why don't you save us Xu family first?" Old Man Xu roared angrily.
