Chapter 108:
“Claire, how do you feel now?” Leng Lingyun asked quietly after sitting down .
“There’s already no major issues, I just have a bit of a headache,” Claire replied .
“It’s because you had too much blood loss earlier . If you allow it to heal, there will be no problem . But traveling further into the mountains is not suitable for your body . Your body cannot heal in this kind of environment . ” Naturally, Leng Lingyun knew how strong his treatment was .
“Yeah, thank you for saving me again . ” Claire had a slight smile on her face .
Before Leng Lingyun spoke, Camille stepped in, narrowing his eyes in an unsatisfied manner . “You seem to be thanking him, but shouldn’t you thank me first?”
“Haha, yes, thank you, esteemed secondary commander . In this group only you such quick reflexes,only you have such quick hands . ” Claire smiled slightly while complementing Camille . Camille was in a state of bliss, happily smiling through closed eyes .
Meanwhile, there was only one person whose face had paled . And that was Li Yuewen . Listening to others, her face had turned to a more uncomfortable color .
“Oh right, Elder Li Yuewen, you still haven’t paid the price for hurting me yet,” Claire suddenly said in a heavy tone .
Li Yuewen froze, her expression changing a little . She looked back, trembling, at the serious-faced Claire . Her heart wouldn’t calm down .
However, Li Mingyu had a calm demeanor . He knew that Claire wouldn’t really blame Li Yuewen .
Li Yuewen head drooped as she said softly said in a low voice, “Yes, it’s all my fault . My mistake harmed you……”
“Yeah, you almost stabbed me to death . If it weren’t for Camille and Leng Lingyun, I would have died . ” Claire’s voice was very cold .
Li Yuewen bit her lip very hard, biting so hard, it nearly bled .
“So you have to pay the price . ” Claire’s tone suddenly took a turn . She said steadfastly, “I lost too much blood, my head is dizzy, you have to take care of me . Right now, I am still weak, so I cannot continue practicing . Let’s go back now and after being fully rested, then
I can go to your family’s training ground to train . Also, don’t pull any pranks in the middle of the night, let me have a nice sleep . My eye-bags are getting heavier . ”
And so, Claire’s words came in a long and windy stream . Li Yuewen looked up, gaping at Claire . This was her payment?!
“What? You think I’m too harsh?” Claire frowned at Li Yuewen as she asked Li Yuewen .
“No, not at all . ” Li Yuewen shook her head wildly like a string drum . “Okay, okay, then tomorrow, let’s return to our country . We’ll slow down our pace, and I’ll take care of you throughout the trip and stop pulling pranks on you in the middle of the night . ”
“Heehee, you said so, so don’t come in the night . I haven’t slept properly recently at all . ” Claire yawned as she confirmed, satisfied .
“You think I’ll go back on my word?” Li Yuewen raised her brow let out a humph while asking .
“No, no, haha, I am starving . After I eat something, I’m going to go sleep . ” Claire shook her head in a satisfied manner .
After she finished eating a few things, Claire went straight to the tent to sleep, disregarding everyone else . One black round ball and one white meat ball also followed her in, but the two little things both didn’t sleep . They both crouched in front of Claire, starting at each other with wide eyes, not blinking . One wanted to bite Claire and set a contract while the other would not let them, so naturally, this deadlock arose .
Early morning, sunshine glittering, dew drops still twinkling on tree leaves . All the magic beasts had been long gone . There were no traces of a fierce battle at all .
With clear and refreshing autumn weather, a cozy, little carriage slowly left a small town . It was the town’s best carriage which Jean bought at a high price . Qiao Chuxin rode the wind leopard forward at a slow pace . Everybody else walked on foot, following the carriage sluggishly . Claire had already changed back into female clothing and leaned snuggly into the backseat while Jean led the carriage forward . Only
Only Claire was enjoying the carriage . One, because the carriage could only seat two people and no matter who got on, it didn’t seem right . Two, Claire was enjoying it with no qualms, relaxing satisfyingly .
It seemed like the young miss of a rich family traveling while a few mercenaries were hired for her protection .
The journey was naturally very smooth . No robbers would blindly attack them . There was obviously a seventh grade magic beast and cold couchman actually a sword strapped to his body . Who would attack this kind of line up?
And like so, they traveled for three days, arriving at the closest city, Fenghua city . This city was flourishing but also chaotic because it was the closest major city near Wandering Mountain . Many adventurers would come here and sell their gains from adventuring in Wandering Mountain: ores, magic cores, young magic beasts, valuable herbs… . So the city was exceptionally bustling . However, the people who came here to sell their goods were all unordinary people . They were all people who had come out of Wandering Mountain alive, so naturally, they were all not simple . If there was a conflict of any sort, there was no way it could be resolved with a little chit chatting . The busiest place in the city was the public order office . Often, they would be running around until their legs gave out . Therefore, how prosperous and how chaotic the city was was directly proportional .
Also, this city didn’t require an entrance fee . Instead, there was a fee for leaving the city .
And like so, Claire’s group entered the city easily . The city was bustling with noise, all sorts of shops on the street: magic cores were sold, weapons, clothes… every shop had customers . There were many different people on the street . There were the local residents but also adventurers covered in dust . The city was built with layers of large rocks, including the city wall, houses, and the pavement on the street .
Claire laid down inside the carriage, her eyes half closed, satisfied . Soon, their party would arrive at a clean inn in the city .
“Miss, we’ve arrived . ” Jean stepped off, opened the
opened the door for Claire, and extended his hand .
Claire naturally supported herself off the carriage with Jean’s hand .
“Wow, today we can finally wash a hot shower!” Summer approached Claire happily and said while clasping Claire’s hand .
“Mmhm, last time we ended up not washing, but this time you will,” Claire said to Summer, smiling .
“Hehe, hurry, hurry . ” Summer pulled Claire’s hand, dragging her to the inn’s entrance . Everybody else followed closely from behind .
Just as they arrived at the entrance, an unknown object flew out the inn’s door . The object rolled around on the floor . After rolling around a few times, they arrived at Claire and Summer’s feet .
Claire and Summer looked down to see that surprisingly, it was a person who had rolled to their feet .
“F*ck! You group of thugs! You actually treat your leader like this!” The person on the ground cursed as he gathered himself up . Looking up, he faced Claire and Summer . After he froze for a second, a smile appeared . He laughed, “Beautiful Miss, it’s you . ”
“Who are you?” Summer asked as she frowned with annoyance seeing the burly man smile mischievously . Such a scoundrel was actually hitting on Claire .
“Are you Miss’s friend? I am Jackson, the leader of the seventeenth squad of the Iron Blood mercenary corps and also miss Claire’s friend . ” The burly man called Jackson was surprisingly someone Claire and Jean had met long ago at Gale Gorge . He still remembered Claire clearly .
“Really?” Summer looked at the frivolous burly man doubtfully . This kind of guy was Claire’s friend? Perhaps it was his own wishful thinking .
“That’s right, that’s right . Haha, Miss Claire, how have you been?” Jackson said to Claire while smiling . Claire nodded slightly .
“Fine . We’re tired now,” Claire said faintly . Right after Claire finished speaking, she went directly past the burly man with Summer through the door .
Jackson scratched his head, smiling awkwardly . Suddenly, he spotted Jean . He immediately approached him, laughing heartily . “Brother Jean, you’re here too, haha, what a coincident . We actually bumped into each other here . ”
“Yes,” Jean said stiffly, not wasting any breath .
“Haha, where are you where are you going?” Jackson asked . He followed Jean from the side, curiousy watching the large group of people behind him . They passed to two, following Claire in the door .
“To Lagark . ” Jean didn’t want to reveal too much, so he only spoke tersely .
“Ah? Really? Wonderful, we’re also planning on going to Lagark, why don’t we go together? We have plenty of time so we can wait for you and go together . It’s best to look after each other . ” Jackson smiled widely .
“Why are you going to Lagark?” Jean said casually . Whether or not they would go together would depend on Claire .
“To send a few things to the Feng clan’s chamber of commerce . ” Jackson said with his mouth drawn back . “The Feng clan’s chamber of commerce . You know, the wealthy family that everybody is jealous of . ”
The Feng clan? Feng Yixuan’s clan?
“Oh . So it’s like that . ” Jean replied softly .
“Then when will you all depart? Let’s go together . ” Jackson asked while following Jean in the door .
“About that, I’ll have to ask my commander and secondary commander,” Jean replied carefully .
Jackson immediately became curious and he asked, “Commander? Secondary commander? You guys became a mercenary group? What kind?”
“Yuan Bao mercenary corps . ” Jean, having a favorable impression of Jackson, replied patiently .
“Hehe, congrats, you guys are now a mercenary group . ” Jackson congratulated them .
“Thank you . ” Jean replied softly .
“Brother Jean, this meeting is such a good opportunity, let’s got and drink something . ” Jackson elbowed Jean with a very relaxed voice .
“No need,” Jean declined politely .
“Haha, you are too polite . You guys just came, eat and rest first . ” Jackson smiled .
“Yes . ” Jean nodded .
The lobby of the hotel had tens of tables with a few people sitting small groups . When Yaks and Jean came in together, the table in the corner had people yelling and laughing out loud . They were the mercenaries under Jackson and also the ones who had thrown Jackson out .
“Miss, Secondary Commander, they invited us to go on the journey with them tomorrow, how will we reply?” Jean walked over while questioning Claire and Camille .
Chapter 108 Claire, how do you feel now Leng Lingyun asked quietly after sitting down . There s already no major issues, I just have a bit of a headache, Claire replied .
