âThank you,â Leng Ruoxue said. The wolf race was the biggest spirit beast race in the forests. Having the friendship of the wolves would definitely be very helpful for their training in the forests.
After bidding farewell to these lovable silver wolves, Leng Ruoxue and the others left their territory under the reluctant gazes of the wolves.
âXueâer, here. Eat this!â Ye Chen passed her a grilled fish. They had left the silver wolf tribeâs territory for a few days, but her spirits were still down, so he was worried about her. He really wanted to go and capture some silver wolves to contract them with her.
âThank you.â Leng Ruoxue accepted the fish and took a bite. Suddenly, a piercing wolfâs howl resounded.
âWhat was that?â Leng Ruoxue asked Charm, who was lying on her shoulder.
âA signal for the wolves to gather,â Charm explained. Humans might not understand the howls of spirit beasts, but other spirit beasts could.
âOh?â Just as Leng Ruoxue was about to continue asking, a mercenary team of roughly a dozen people approached them.
âGreetings, everyone. Itâs getting late, and we canât find a suitable place to camp. Can we share this place with you?â a man in his forties asked politely. He should be the leader of this team.
âIf I said no, would you leave?â Ye Chen said with a faint smile.?They look calm on the surface, but thereâs a panic in their eyes.?They must have gotten into some trouble. Wanting to share the camp is fake. Their real intention is to drag us into it and have us fight for them if anything goes wrong. We wonât be taken advantage of so easily. Moreover, trouble that an intermediate Spiritual Sovereign canât solve is definitely big trouble.
âErmâ¦â
âUs choosing this place to camp is your good fortune. Stop being ungrateful and making a fuss and make some room for us.â A snobbish and arrogant female voice sounded.
âShut up!â the middle-aged man yelled. He had had enough.
âThird Uncleâ¦â the snobbish young lady said in dissatisfaction.
âWe really canât find a better spot to camp. Please help us! We will never forget your kindness!â the middle-aged man said courteously and smiled friendly.
âWe are from the Xu family. It is your honor to have us stay here for the night!â the snobbish young lady couldnât help interjecting again.
âThe Xu family of the Five Great Families?â Leng Ruoxue finally spoke.
âOf course we are! Let me tell you, itâs your honor that weâre willing to stay at your shabby little place!â the young lady said arrogantly.
âYes, we should be honoredâ¦

âAre you related to Xu Naâer?â Leng Ruoxue asked lightly.
âSheâs my elder sister. Why? Do you know her?â
âNo. But Iâve heard her name.â
âOh. Of course. My sister is second on the Ling Feng Continent beauty rankings, and many people know her,â the young lady said arrogantly, as if she herself was second.
âAlright, let them stay!â Leng Ruoxue looked at Ye Chen and then went back into her tent.
âYou can stay, but donât stay too close to us,â Ye Chen said coldly.?The Xu family?
âThank you.â The middle-aged man thanked them and then organized his group to set up camp.
The snobbish young lady didnât have anyone around her now, and she looked around curiously.
âLinâer, donât wander around,â the middle-aged man warned.
âI know,â Xu Linâer said impatiently, but her eyes kept looking around.?Whatâs so good about this place? Why does Third Uncle insist on camping here??Suddenly, Xu Linâerâs gaze stopped, and she couldnât move her eyes away.
What a beautiful man! Although heâs standing in a dark corner, his brilliance canât be covered!?He was the best-looking man she had ever seen, and her heart was racing. It was as though only she could see this peerlessly beautiful man in the world.
âI want to marry you!â With starry-eyed infatuation and a love-struck gaze, Xu Naâer dashed to right in front of Ye Chen. There was even some dubious liquid flowing at the corner of her mouth.

Everyone was flabbergasted by what she said. Ye Chen stood there expressionlessly and gazed coldly at the love-struck fool.
âYouâre not worthy!â Ye Chen said impatiently as the murderous gaze in his eyes fleeted away.
âDo you know who I am? I am the most pampered second young lady of the Xu family. I am giving you face by taking a fancy to you. Donât be so ungrateful. Or else you will regret it later!â Xu Linâer screamed hysterically. She finally liked a man, but he unexpectedly didnât appreciate it.
Not far away, Mu Li and Feng Moran watched this ridiculous scene, flabbergasted.?What is thisâ¦
Not to mention the two of them, even the mercenaries who came with Xu Linâer felt a little embarrassed. They couldnât understand how she could behave like this in this critical and perilous situation.
âLinâer, stop making a fool of yourself,â shouted the middle-aged man, whom Xu Linâer called Third Uncle.?Even I canât tell how powerful he is. Thatâs why I choose to camp here brazenly. How will she ever be worthy of him?
âShut up! Donât meddle in my affairs! Donât think youâre really my third uncle just because I call you that! You are just someone born of a concubine! You donât have any rights to control me!â Xu Linâer said disdainfully. If her mother didnât tell her to behave before she came out and that he was a Spiritual Sovereign, she wouldnât even call him Third Uncle. But he actually thought that he really was her elder, and he had been ordering her around and criticizing her all along the way, trying to manage everything. She had long been displeased with him.
âYouâ¦â The middle-aged man almost fainted from anger.
âThe Xu family truly taught you well! Worthy of being one of the Five Great Families!â Leng Ruoxue walked out of her tent when she heard what they said. With the excitement outside, she wanted to join in on the fun!
âW-who are you to say that?â Xu Linâer was agitated when she saw the stunningly beautiful woman capable of causing the downfall of a nation. Although Xu Linâer knew that she wasnât as attractive as her sister, Xu Naâer, she was still very confident about her beauty. But this woman was even more beautiful than them. Rather⦠she was even more beautiful than Shui Xinran, the first beauty of the Ling Feng Continent. She was already very upset by the fact that Shui Xinran was more good-looking than them, but now there was an even better-looking one! They couldnât do anything to Shui Xinran, but couldnât she do something about this woman?
