Chapter 259: Chapter 259 - Give Me a Reason to Take You In (1)

“Let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue summoned Quill and also released the little mink, who she had placed in her space.

“My dear Quill, let’s fly slower so that we don’t scare the two beasts,” Leng Ruoxue said very kindly as she lay comfortably on Quill’s back.

“Yes, Master,” Quill answered with some difficulty, his face full of black lines.?Boohoo… How slow will I have to fly so that I won’t surpass those two spirit beasts!

“I thought you would ride the fire dragon?” Leng Ruoxue teased Feng Da and Lü Tao when she saw them sitting up.

“Miss! That dragon is too eye-catching. Can’t we ride a few ordinary flying beasts?” Feng Da said with a bitter face. Since they became famous, he didn’t dare to ride the fire dragon at all. Otherwise, he would definitely be recognized.

“Quill, do you know any flying spirit beasts?” Leng Ruoxue asked after some thought.

“Yes, but their levels aren’t high,” Quill said after some thought.

“It’s okay. They just need to fly fast,” Feng Da said quickly.

“Yes, level isn’t important,” Leng Ruoxue agreed. They indeed needed a few ordinary flying spirit beasts.

“Then I’ll look for them when we reach the Illusionary Forest,” Quill said reluctantly.?Boohoo… Am I going to lose my job?

Leng Ruoxue nodded, closed her eyes, and fell silent.

After flying for more than ten hours, they finally arrived at Willow City.

Everyone stopped outside the city and walked into Willow City.

“It’s getting late, so let’s stay here for the night and go tomorrow morning!” Ju Ri said as he looked at the sky in front of an inn.

“Okay, we’ll listen to Big Brother Ju,” Ma Yurou said in agreement.

“What? Are you planning to train during the day and come out of the forest at night?” Leng Ruoxue suddenly asked.

“Of course not. We’re going to camp in the forest at night.” Ma Yurou raised her chin proudly.

“I don’t see that intent in your actions,” Leng Ruoxue said calmly.

Ju Ri understood what Ruoxue meant. He looked at the two groups and continued, “Let’s go straight into the forest!”

“Big Brother Ju, it’s already so late, and we’re all tired. Let’s go tomorrow!” Ma Yurou said coquettishly. After flying for so long, all she wanted now was a good night’s sleep.

“Yurou, don’t be willful. Listen to Young Master Ju,” a middle-aged man scolded.

“Second Uncle!”

“This isn’t the Ma family residence. You can’t be willful,” Ma Zhongxian, the second uncle of the Ma family, said in a non-negotiable tone.

“Alright. Big Brother Ju, I’ll listen to you.” Ma Yurou compromised. Her second uncle’s status in the family was second only to her father’s, so she didn’t dare to disobey him.

“Let’s go,” Ju Ri said lightly.

They slowly walked toward the Illusionary Forest.

“Miss, are you hungry? There’s some jerky here. Have some.” In the forest, Lü Tao took out a piece of jerky and handed it to Leng Ruoxue as if no one else was around.

Leng Ruoxue took the jerky, took a small bite, and fed the rest to the little mink in her arms.

Xiang Dong walked to Ju Ri’s side. “Young Master, let’s camp here tonight!”

Ju Ri looked at the current terrain and nodded. The mercenary group and the Ma family started to set up camp.

For this mission, the Hurricane Mercenary Group was only responsible for the safety of the Ma family. Everything else would require the client to do themselves. Moreover, with the status of the Hurricane Mercenary Group, the Ma family didn’t dare to order them around like subordinates. Therefore, everyone in the Ma family was very respectful to the people of the Hurricane Mercenary Group.

Leng Ruoxue’s trio deliberately found a corner position.

Feng Da set up the tent, Lü Tao sorted the ingredients, and Leng Ruoxue concentrated on being an arm-flinging shopkeeper. She took out a recliner and lay on it uncomfortably.

Ma Yurou walked to Leng Ruoxue’s side and said politely, “Miss Ruoxue, I didn’t bring a maidservant with me on this trip. Could you lend me your maidservant?”

“Why didn’t Miss Ma bring a maidservant along? Isn’t it inconvenient when you go!” Leng Ruoxue said coldly without even looking up.

“My father said that training outside means to endure hardships. If you bring a maidservant, you might as well be a young lady at home!” Ma Yurou said with a face full of pride. What she implied was that Leng Ruoxue couldn’t endure hardships at all, and this was not a place to enjoy.

“That makes sense. But if I were you, I wouldn’t even bring a guard,” Leng Ruoxue said with a smile.

“Miss Ruoxue, you brought a guard and a maidservant. What right do you have to criticize me?” Ma Yurou said angrily. She had to maintain the demeanor of a noble young lady in front of Ju Ri, but she couldn’t help cursing in her heart.

“Big Sister, that woman is cursing you in her head.” Baby in the bracelet suddenly sent a voice transmission.

“Miss Ma, I didn’t come out to train, so why should I suffer?” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly while replying to Baby, “I know.”

“Miss Ruoxue, you haven’t answered me yet. Are you going to lend me your maidservant?!” Ma Yuran held back her anger and maintained her smile.

“You have to ask my maidservant. I have no objections if she’s willing to serve you.” Leng Ruoxue kicked the ball at Lü Tao.

After hearing what Leng Ruoxue said, Ma Yurou simply walked directly to Lü Tao and said arrogantly, “Your young lady has already lent you to me. From now on, you will stay by my side and serve me.” And she even raised her head high as if she was doing Lü Tao a favor.

“Get lost!” Lü Tao looked at her young miss and couldn’t bear it anymore. She roared and deliberately released a little might.

“Aaahhhh!” Ma Yurou was so scared that she fell to the ground with horror in her heart.?H-how can this maidservant be so strong? She’s just a maidservant!

“I’m sorry, Senior. My niece is insensible. Please calm down and don’t take issue with her.” Ma Zhongxian, who heard the commotion, hurriedly came in front of Lü Tao and bowed respectfully. He was also very terrified in his heart at this moment. He really didn’t expect this maidservant to be a Spiritual Sovereign, and her strength was clearly above his. He was only an elementary Spiritual Sovereign, so wouldn’t this woman be at least an intermediate Spiritual Sovereign or even higher?
