902: 'Hero' Saving The Beauty (17)

'Hero' Saving The Beauty (17)

It was not until his mercenaries told him that the young man had suddenly appeared and defeated two advanced-ranked demons that they were spared.2

Fang Qiu was no fool. If he could defeat two advanced-ranked demons by himself, he must not be a simple character. When he first met Shen Yanxiao, he was surprised by her age. However, after he thought about it more, he came to a realization. A Second-Class Expert had the ability to change their appearance. Perhaps she was an expert who had done just that.

Naturally, Fang Qiu had to thank her.

Shen Yanxiao casually said, "You're welcome."

Then, she turned to leave.

However, Fang Qiu urged her to stay.

"Little brother, please wait."

"Is there something else?" Shen Yanxiao looked impatient.

"Well…" Fang Qiu looked troubled. Their team had only about a hundred people left after their two battles with the demons.

Their mission to search for the Joy-Sucking Grass had yet to be completed. Even if they wanted to return to the city, it would still be quite dangerous in their current situation. After all, the Forsaken Land was filled with demons, and a group of wounded merceneracies could very well become a meal for the next group of demons.

"I have a presumptuous request. I hope that you can escort us back to Blizzard City. Of course, as long as you agree, I will repay your kindness when we return." Fang Qiu could only turn to Shen Yanxiao for help.

She had single-handedly defeated two advanced-ranked demons, without suffering any injuries. Fang Qiu believed that as long as she was with him, the demons would not be difficult to deal with.

Shen Yanxiao looked at Fang Qiu and remained silent as she pondered.

Xiu had mentioned that her main objective was to find demons for actual combat experience. However, the speed at which she looked for demons was too slow. But, if she were to follow these injured mercenaries…

The smell of blood was the easiest way to attract demons. Almost all of the mercenaries here were injured, and it would take them several days to reach Blizzard City. If they were to go back like that, they would probably attract many demons.

If she were to follow them, would that not mean that she had the perfect bait to lure demons?

Shen Yanxiao touched her chin. She would rather travel with them than to find advanced-ranked demons by herself. If she went with them, not only could she fight with demons, but she could also make a fortune in Blizzard City.

After she thought about it for a long time, Shen Yanxiao felt that there were only pros and no cons if she were to agree to Fang Qiu's terms.

"Sure." Shen Yanxiao agreed readily.

Fang Qiu felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He hastily thanked Shen Yanxiao, and after that, he instructed his men to treat each other's wounds before he shifted his route to return to Blizzard City as soon as possible.

Shen Yanxiao had nothing better to do, so she continued to cultivate at the side.

Long Xueyao looked at Shen Yanxiao with admiration.

To use such time to train was indeed the diligence of a powerful person.

Her favorable impression of Shen Yanxiao only continued to rise.

In comparison…

"Yaoyao, I'm glad that you're alright. It was such a dangerous day. When those demons wanted to attack you, I was prepared to fight them for you!" As the crisis faded, Gu Fengyang revealed a confident and elegant smile as he looked at Long Xueyao with sincerity.

Long Xueyao frowned in disgust. How ugly was Gu Feng? Not only did he beg for mercy from the two demons, but he even stood at the side when she was attacked.

Fight for her?

How dare he say that!
