Chapter 590: Cooperation (2)

Du Lang was startled to hear the familiar voice. He looked at the unfamiliar pretty little girl in front of him. After a long while of hesitation, he worked up the courage to ask, “Hou Xiao?”

“Yes, it is I.” Shen Yanxiao nodded.

Du Lang no longer had control of his expressions.

“How can this be?” Du Lang stared at the brand-new Shen Yanxiao. He could not believe his eyes. The lad with an unattractive appearance had turned into a national beauty, so suddenly… he found it hard to digest.

Loud bangs were heard for six times.

The six wolves at the side fell to the ground at the same time. All of them were stunned as they looked at Shen Yanxiao. They were even more shocked than Du Lang.

“I am here to discuss something with you, Group Leader Du.” Shen Yanxiao threw a naughty look to the dull-looking six wolves. However, she felt smug about it.

‘Silly, you were wrong about me; I’m a girl!’

The six wolves crawled back to their chairs silently, and each one of them tried to recall the past Huo Xiao in their heads…

Their little brother had become a beautiful girl. Could it be any more thrilling?!

There was little chance of them marrying the beauty, to begin with, and then, there was zero chance. When Shen Yanxiao stayed in the group as Huo Xiao, they did not bully her per se, but they treated her like their younger brother. They made dirty jokes in front of her. The only thing they did not do with her was to drag her to a shower or the bathroom together.

At those thoughts, the six straight men blushed.

“What is it?” Luckily, Du Lang had withered strong winds and big waves. After he digested the information that Shen Yanxiao’s ident.i.ty had s.h.i.+fted, he circled back to business.

“I have a mission for you, a long-term one. I wonder if you are interested, Brother Du. As for the price, that is not a problem,” Shen Yanxiao said with a giggle.

Du Lang looked at Shen Yanxiao. He could bet on his own feet that the mission would not be a simple one.

A mere Skeleton Flower had almost cost their entire mercenary group. The mission looked much more complicated than the Skeleton Flower mission, not to mention it would be a long-term one. Who could tell what it was?

“Please take a seat. We will talk about it.” Du Lang noticed the man and woman by Shen Yanxiao’s side. Each one of them was more beautiful than the other. Their presence indicated that they were far from ordinary. Besides, Du Lang could tell that those two people must be more powerful than him.

He was curious why Shen Yanxiao would need his help when she already had such powerful support.

Shen Yanxiao and the two Phoenixes sat down.

“I am heading to the Forsaken Land to build a city, but I can’t do it by myself. I don’t feel secure enough to cooperate with another random mercenary group. Brother Du, we have worked quite well together. So, I want to invite Brother Du and the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group to accompany me to the Forsaken Land to build the city.” Shen Yanxiao told him in full detail. She did not wish to withhold any information from him.

“The Forsaken… Land?” Du Lang was startled.

The only person that could enjoy the power to build a city in the Forsaken Land was the winner of the Inter-academy Tournament in the Longxuan Empire.

The winner for that year seemed to be, like, probably, maybe, a warlock?

Du Lang gasped in shock.
