After storing a large number of supplies, Shen Yanxiao was finally ready to set off for the Barren Land.
Next, she had two months to gain a firm foothold in the Barren Land. After that, the Long Xuan Empire would send someone to visit and checked the construction of her city.
Vermillion Bird disliked the carriage to the extreme, so when Shen Yanxiao was out of the city, he did not ride a carriage. The carriages and horses brought up by Tang Nazhi were sent by the four animals’ henchmen to the border of Long Xuan Empire. Shen Yanxiao and the others would take a step forward and would pick it up once they reach the borders.
The two Phoenixes transformed into human form and accompanied Shen Yanxiao on her trip. They rode Vermillion Bird and flew to Black City.
After reaching the Black City, Shen Yanxiao ordered Vermillion Bird and Lan Fengli to go to the casino and took Uncle Jiu and others with them while she was going to talk about cooperation with Du Lang.
After a few months of repairs, the Caves Wolves Mercenary Corps had already returned to its peak status. The four mercenaries rescued by Uncle Jiu had already returned to the team. They told Du Lang and others everything they heard about what happened in the village. They also told them that Uncle Jiu and the other villagers were no longer in an unstable state.
Shen Yanxiao stood in front of the door of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps. The male and female Phoenix stood at her sides.
The two mercenaries who was guarding the door were not that old. When they saw the delicate and beautiful little girl standing by the door, the expressions on their faces looked a bit stiff. They made a handsome appearance by sticking their chest out and putting on an upright expression. From time to time, they would secretly glance at Shen Yanxiao.
How could such a beautiful young lady appear in front of the door of their mercenary corps?
Was she perhaps a guest?
They became excited when they thought that their own mercenary corps would soon be working for such a beautiful little girl.
“Is Head Du Lang inside?” Shen Yanxiao asked with a smile.
Secretly wiping his drool, one of the mercenaries stammered and said, “In… inside…”
“Is it a trouble if you lead the way? I have something to discuss with Head Du Lang.” Shen Yanxiao knew these two mercenaries from before. But at that time, these two guys had the attitude of a big brother. They did not have the stiffness they had right now, and both of them was not shy as this.
“Good … good.” The young mercenary looked a little embarrassed. Seeing Shen Yanxiao’s exquisite little face so close, he felt that his heart was about to jump out.
Shen Yanxiao walked into the Cave Wolf Mercenary Corps headquarters under the direction of the mercenary. It was afternoon and a lot of members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps took over some tasks in the headquarters. When they saw the sudden appearance of Shen Yanxiao, they were particularly stunned, several careless young mercenaries were even too fascinated that they directly hit the pillars in the room, bringing in the laughter of their fellows.
Du Lang had fully recovered. At this time, he was sitting in the hall and speaking with the six wolves.
After receiving the notification from other mercenaries, he met Shen Yanxiao.
“This guest has a task to entrust?” Du Lang was after all not in the prime of his youth anymore. Although he was stunned at the beauty of Shen Yanxiao, he did not reveal the least bit of helplessness.
It was the other six wolves who were watching Shen Yanxiao with sharp eyes.
It must be known that most of the mercenaries were bachelors. They were usually occupied with their tasks and they had no time to see a woman. Now that such a delicate and beautiful woman appeared in their mercenary corps, how could these men who had been longing for opposite gender not looked dumbstruck?
Even if they knew that this beautiful flower would not belong to them, who did not love to see such a beauty?
Just looking was also good!
Shen Yanxiao chuckled and said slowly, “I haven’t seen Head Du for months. It was very good that you have already recovered, I am finally relieved.”
The familiar voice made Du Lang slightly surprised. He stared at the strange little beauty in front of him and hesitated for a long time before he asked, “Huo Xiao?”
“Exactly.” Shen Yanxiao nodded.
Du Lang’s expression collapsed immediately.
“How come it’s you?” Du Lang’s eyes stared intently at the completely transformed Shen Yanxiao. He could not believe his own eyes. The little young boy who had never looked handsome before suddenly turned into a beautiful little lady whose looks could destroy a city… He felt that this thing was somewhat difficult to digest.
Female Phoenix: There’s really something not right here.
Female Phoenix: Aren’t they completely treating us an air, hun??
Female Phoenix: I mean, I’m also beautiful and you’re handsome! Why are they just keep on complimenting Little Xiao.
Male Phoenix: Well, maybe as men, they don’t wanna compliment another man who’s more handsome than them?
Female Phoenix: Then what about me???
Male Phoenix: Errrr…. Uhh… Well, ahem. Hun, Isn’t it enough that I know you are beautiful? You are and will forever be the most beautiful woman in my whole world.
Female Phoenix: Hun…(*´ω｀*)
