Ye Lingyue was in sound sleep but seemed to hear something. She frowned and rubbed her head against Wu Chong's chest, thinking to herself, “How can the pillow be so hard today?”

Seeing Ye Lingyue moving like a little creature, Wu Chong said nothing and looked much more affectionate.

“I didn't expect that loser would want to cooperate with me and divide in half the time of using this body after coming back from the City of Mercenaries. Haha, what a big compromise! It seems the loser really loves you. Ever since he was young, he has been going against my will. This time, he surprised me by offering to make such a compromise.” Wu Chong sneered.

d.a.m.n it! Wu Chong was surprisingly attracted by Feng Shen's proposal.

What made Wu Chong behaving not like himself was the one in his arms.

Just as Feng Shen had said, the only way to live like a normal person was having a peaceful co-existence with each other.

Only when Feng Shen's literary talents and Wu Chong's martial skills were combined could they get a good control of the two ident.i.ties: Lord Feng and Ghost Emperor.

Otherwise, their secret would be found sooner or later.

If the little girl knew that Feng Shen was Wu Chong, would she treat them as monsters?

Thinking of this, Wu Chong held her tighter.

It seemed Ye Lingyue felt quite uncomfortable in his arms so that she moved her body a bit. Then her soft chest touched Wu Chong's body.

Wu Chong went stiff all of a sudden. His breath taken away, he glared at the little girl in his arms.

“d.a.m.n you, Wu Chong, don't take way my Chiyang Ginseng.” At this time, Ye Lingyue gritted her teeth and swore loudly as if she had dreamt of something.

Wu Chong was stupefied. The woman hated him so much that she did not even forget to swear at him in her dreams?

“Fine. I owed you in my previous life.” Wu Chong smiled bitterly and used his Yuan energy to comfort Ye Lingyue's tendons and vessels. She had been sparing no efforts to accomplish the tasks. If she did not get in-time treatment, she would feel utterly uncomfortable as time went by.

On the second day, Ye Lingyue opened her eyes, only to find Little Squeak freezing on the ground.

After it was awakened, Little Squeak sneezed badly.

Ye Lingyue felt strange and touched her head. How come Little Squeak was always on the ground every time she woke up? What was more, she had been dreaming all the time.

Last night, she seemed to dream that she met Wu Chong and fought with him when searching for herbs.

It was a tiring fight. When she got up, however, her body felt quite comfortable, as if all the tendons and vessels had been ma.s.saged.

She had been dreaming and feeling comfortable. The situation lasted for a dozen of days.

Outside, Lan Cai'er knocked the door open.

Lan Cai'er showed exhaustion. The tired look combined with the big birthmark on the face could make others easily mistake her for a female ghost if she stood on the street in the deep night.

Lan Cai'er looked at Ye Lingyue. Maybe for the reason that her face was painted pitch-black or for some other reason, Ye Lingyue still looked energetic, even after working so hard together with Lan Cai'er for more than half a month. Lan Cai'er did not know that someone had been secretly treating Ye Lingyue in bed.

“Lingyue, I am tired out. As expected, I am not suitable for doing something that requires great efforts but gives only a few benefits. By the way, why do we have to find Qiankun Zijin Bamboo?”

The two had been carrying out low-level tasks for a dozen of days in a row. Their diligence had won them more than 500 credits. After their credits were reckoned in the group, however, only a half remained for them two.

After a dozen of days of hard work, they had won enough credits for accommodation but still knew nothing about the whereabouts of Qiankun Zijin Bamboo.

Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai'er had checked the site Gou Wa talked about but found no traces of the bamboo.

“It was because of Qiankun Zijin Bamboo that the villagers of Zizhu Mountain fled away. The spiritual wood attracts not only all sects and factions but also some spiritual beasts. The best way to help the villagers come back to their homeland is to find and possess the bamboo ahead of others.” Most ideally, Ye Lingyue wanted to put Qiankun Zijin Bamboo inside her Red Mist Sky. Then it could be highly profitable when she knew how to make Qiankun Bag.

Seeing that Lan Cai'er was already exhausted, however, Ye Lingyue was quite sorry. She decided to take a rest for several days.

During their rest, Ye Lingyue would grasp the opportunity to re-enter the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix, trying to challenge the Two Grades Chaos Heaven and Earth Tribulation.

But her plan was soon disrupted.

After nearly half a month, the mercenary group Disha eventually got the first high-level task.

Yan Jiu was already bored to death. He instantly cheered up and rushed to the Alliance of Mercenaries with a number of guys. Unexpectedly, the members of Drinking Blood arrived at the same time.

The two groups stared at each other.

Due to their previous conflict over Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai'er, there was some bad feelings between the two groups.

Earlier, Drinking Blood undertook all kinds of tasks. But it followed suit after hearing Disha only accepted high-level tasks.

“Junior Li, you must make it clear. Who should undertake this task?”

Both Yan Jiu and Dao Ge felt dissatisfied.

“Calm down, please. This high-level task is a little special since the buyer requires the protection from two most powerful mercenary groups. The top group credit earner, Xuange, is still out carrying out tasks. You are the two best mercenary groups in the city.” Junior Li was sweating heavily when faced with the members of the two sides.

The buyer that could commission Drinking Blood and Disha altogether must be extremely affluent.

“Junior Li, how silly you are! Di and Sha are the right persons but the two ugly women are in no way eligible to carry out tasks together with us.” The speaker was the eldest one of the three Xia sisters. She envied the two ugly girls having the chance to stay with Di every day.

“You are right. Carrying out tasks is no small thing. Too weak a person will be a drag on all.” Dao Ge said. He took a look at Lan Cai'er and frowned.

“Who dares to say another word about ugliness or weakness? I will kill him or her right on the spot.” Yan Jiu frowned. Although he kept on saying that the two women were both ugly and weak, he would not allow others to speak ill of his members.

“Birds of a feather flock together”. Yan Jiu was quite similar to Wu Chong in their characteristics. A son would not speak ill of his mother. Yan Jiu could speak ill of his members, but he wouldn't allow others to!

“What shall I do?” Junior Li was at a loss, looking at Song Jingyun in the hope of getting her help.
