âYes, I can feel it,â Butterfly said proudly. Since it was the envoy of the mystic realm, its senses couldnât be wrong.
âWhen will it appear?â Leng Ruoxue continued asking.
âA week later,â Butterfly answered.
âWhere is it?â
âThereâs no fixed location. After the mystic realm opens, anyone with a spot can be teleported in automatically,â Butterfly explained.?Boohoo⦠After being aggrieved for so long, Iâm finally going to have a use.
âGirl! You will very much need me in the mystic realm, so you have to treat me better from now on.â Butterfly was a little smug again.
âGet lost! Go somewhere else!â Leng Ruoxue roared furiously. This damn Butterfly really didnât know how to behave!
âGirl, youâre not gentle at all! You have to learn from Ruohan. As a girl, you canât behave like this,â Butterfly said fearfully.
Two drops of cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxueâs forehead. She broke the connection with Butterfly without hesitation and turned her gaze to the big bear.
At this moment, the bear had already completed its advancement and was sitting on the ground in a daze. Ju Ri was currently in the midst of his advancement because he had contracted with it and obtained many benefitsâ¦
Fifteen minutes later, Ju Ri completed his advancement. His face was full of disbelief as he looked at his stage.?Heavens! Is this real??I-I actually advanced two stages and am now at peak Spiritual Sovereign! Wasnât this a little too easy?!
âAhem!â Leng Ruoxue deliberately coughed twice to wake up the stunned human and beast.
âMaster.â The earth demon bear looked at Ju Ri happily. It was now a divine beast.?Boohoo⦠It really wasnât easy.
âBig Bear, congratulations,â Ju Ri said happily.
After the master and beast communicated enough, they finally remembered Leng Ruoxue.
âRuoxue, thank you so much,â Ju Ri said gratefully.
âThank you,â Big Bear said, its fluffy head showing a shy expression.
âYouâre welcome. Big Bear, you have to protect Big Brother Ju from now on!â Leng Ruoxue reminded him.
âYes.â Big Bear nodded. It had to protect its master! Otherwise, it wouldnât be able to survive either if anything happened to its master.
âBig Brother Ju, what happened?â Leng Ruoxue looked at the unconscious Xiang Dong and the others on the ground.
âAh! Donât mention it.â Ju Ri sighed heavily. If not for Ruoxue, their team would have become the sacrificial lambs to Big Bearâs anger.
âThat woman interrupted my cultivation. I was originally just a little away from advancement, but because of her, all my efforts were in vain.â Thinking of this, Big Bear was still very angry.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBig Brother Ju, letâs go back after waking them up!â Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. The mystic realm was about to open, so she had to prepare early.
âOkay,â Ju Ri agreed. Since this close call happened, he was no longer in the mood to continue protecting them and training them.
âYoung Master, run! Thereâs a bear!â Xiang Dongâs memory still lingered from before he fainted, so he shouted excitedly after waking up.
âCalm down. Itâs okay.â Ju Ri patted his shoulder to console him.
âOkay.â Xiang Dongâs mind slowly became clear.
The others were not much better than Xiang Dongâ¦
After comforting the mercenary group, Ju Ri walked to Ma Zhongxian and said directly, âElder Ma, letâs go back!â
âOkay, letâs go back!â Ma Zhongxian said helplessly. After what happened, he didnât have the face to ask them to continue protecting them. After all, they had discussed it beforehand.
âWhat? Go back! No, Second Uncle, we canât go back. I havenât found a spirit beast I like yet!â Ma Yurou yelled in disapproval when she heard their conversation.
âItâs not up to you.â Ma Zhongxian glared at his niece coldly. Because of her willfulness, they had almost lost their lives. Moreover, even though the Hurricane Mercenary Group didnât say it explicitly, it was obvious that they wouldnât care about their lives if they insisted on staying here. It was really too unwise to sacrifice all their lives for such a willful niece.
âSecond Uncle, did you forget what Father said before we left?â Ma Yurou immediately brought up her father when she saw that her second uncle didnât listen to her.
âI will explain this matter to Big Brother,â Ma Zhongxian said uncompromisingly.
âBig Brother Ju, I donât want to leave this place.â Ma Yurou looked at Ju Ri with tears in her eyes, hoping to move him with her tears.
âStay here by yourself then!â Ju Ri said coldly. Then he turned and left, too lazy to entertain her any further.
Ma Zhongxian glanced at his niece indifferently and ordered the others from the Ma family, âGather and prepare to leave.â
Even after everyone sat on the flying spirit beasts, Ma Yurou remained motionless.
âYurou, weâre leaving if you donât want to come up,â Ma Zhongxian said impatiently and gave an ultimatum.
Ma Yurou sat on a spirit beastâs back unwillingly, still resentful.
At night, everyone returned to Phoenix City on the spirit beasts.
âBig Brother Ju, letâs part here!â Leng Ruoxue said after entering Phoenix City.
âOkay.â Ju Ri watched Leng Ruoxue leave before leaving with his team.
After returning to the generalâs mansion, Leng Ruoxue directly entered the bracelet.
âButterfly,â Leng Ruoxue called softly in the space.
âGirl, Iâm here. Did you miss me?â The big purple Butterfly fluttered its wings and appeared in front of Leng Ruoxue.
âCan you be more normal? I have something to ask you.â Leng Ruoxue helplessly wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. She was really helpless in front of Butterfly!
âGirl, ask away! I will tell you everything I know,â Butterfly promised after circling around.
âOkay. Tell me about the mystic realm first! Whatâs inside?â Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
