nLeng Ruoxue looked at his clothes, a little helpless. This glutton went hunting early in the morning.

n“These are the badges of our mercenary group for you two.” Leng Ruoxue handed him and Mu Li a badge each.

n

n

nThey took the badge and pinned them directly on their chests.

n“Xue’er, t-this sacred artifact… a defensive sacred artifact?” Feng Moran asked in disbelief after coming back to his senses. Heavens, could Xue’er also be an artificer?

n“Yes, what’s wrong? Is it strange?”

n“…”

n

n

nFeng Mo was speechless. Where did this monster come from? Not only is she an alchemist, but she’s also an artificer. A sacred artifact! Only a master artificer can refine one.

nThe levels of weapons and equipment were divided into treasured artifacts, spirit artifacts, and sacred artifacts. Each level was also divided into elementary, intermediate, and advanced. Only a master artificer could refine sacred artifacts, but the success rate of that was only 30%.

n“Big Brother Feng, you have to calm down. What if I tell you that I’m also a beast trainer?” Leng Ruoxue said half-jokingly. She planned to have a few of her subordinates establish contracts with spirit beasts, so she didn’t intend to hide it anyway.

n“You are a monster!” Feng Moran managed to muster saying after being stunned for a while.

n

n

nThe mercenaries, who had just recovered their senses, also nodded in agreement with Feng Moran. Their young lady was indeed a monster, but this monster was their young lady and the person they wanted to follow, so the more monstrous she was, the better!

nBecoming Spiritual Monarchs, defensive sacred artifacts, and Miss said she would help us contract spirit beasts… Heavens! They didn’t even dare to think about this type of equipment before, but this also made them more determined to follow their young lady forever.

nLeng Ruoxue looked at the excited people in front of her. “Since you are now my subordinates, of course I will give you the best equipment. However, it’s not up to me as to how far you can go.” What she implied was that she would give them the same opportunities, but what they could achieve would depend on their own efforts.

n“We won’t let Miss down,” the fifteen people said in unison.

n“Feng Da, you will still be their captain in the future,” Leng Ruoxue said.

n“Yes,” Feng Da quickly replied, unable to hide the excitement on his face. He originally thought that it was enough to stay alive following this young lady, but he did not expect such a big surprise.

n

n

n“In the future, solve everything that you can by yourself. If you can’t solve it… don’t bother me,” Leng Ruoxue continued irresponsibly. She hated trouble.

n“…”

nFeng Da was stunned and dumbfounded. What does Miss mean?! Miss, do you intend to be an arm-flinging shopkeeper? But you shouldn’t leave us alone. Thinking of this, Feng Da couldn’t help looking at Leng Ruoxue aggrievedly.

n“Then if there’s something that we can’t solve, who should we look for?” Feng Da had the expression of ‘Miss, you can’t leave us alone’.

nLeng Ruoxue thought for a while and then casually and very irresponsibly pointed at Feng Moran. “Talk to him. He will be your immediate superior from now on.”

n“Xue’er…” Feng Moran looked at her aggrievedly.

n“That’s right. Feng Moran, Ye Chen, and Mu Li will all be the deputy leaders of our mercenary group from now on. Ask them if you have any issues in the future. Just don’t bother me.” Leng Ruoxue made up her mind to an arm-flinging shopkeeper no matter what.

n“Okay, look for him if you encounter small things, but only look for me if you meet something big.” Ye Chen also pointed at Feng Moran.

n

n

n“You all…” Feng Moran was speechless. What sort of people are they?!

nAlas, Feng Da could see that all of them did not want to take any responsibilities. How can there be such lazy people in this world?

n…

n“Miss, I have drafted regulations for the mercenary group. Deputy Leader Feng has read it and said to ask you for instructions,” Feng Da said after finding Leng Ruoxue.

n“Since he has okayed it, there’s no need to show me.” Leng Ruoxue looked at the thick pile of paper in Feng Da’s hand with a bit of a headache.

n“Miss, you are the leader of the group, and you must agree before we can implement it,” Feng Da explained.

n“Oh. Put it there first. I’ll take a look when I have time.” Leng Ruoxue frowned slightly. So thick!

nFeng Da put the regulation draft in front of her and went to work on other things.

n“Miss, we are back. We gathered a lot of herbs today.” Lin Yuan handed the storage ring in his hand to Leng Ruoxue. He knew that alchemists like their young lady would not let herbs go whenever they saw them. They did not pick ordinary herbs before.

n“Thank you.” Leng Ruoxue took the ring, moved the medicinal herbs to her ring, and then returned the ring to Lin Yuan. Basically, every mercenary would learn some knowledge in distinguishing medicinal herbs in order to avoid encountering valuable herbs and not knowing during missions.

n“Miss, I have another piece of news,” Lin Yuan said mysteriously.

n“What news?” Leng Ruoxue was a little curious. During these days, Lin Yuan and the group’s knowledge had improved a lot. Ordinary news probably wouldn’t interest him.

n“Purple pearl fruit.”

n

n

n“Where?” Purple pearl fruits were similar to green spirit fruits. Both were more beneficial to spirit beasts and could help spirit beasts to advance. But it could only replenish spiritual energy for humans. The purple pearl fruit might be dispensable to Leng Ruoxue, but she happened not to have one in her hand. Moreover, she had so many beasts, and they would definitely need them in the future.

n“About a two-day journey away from here. I heard that a level nine holy beast is guarding it. And the Xu family seems to be there too. Apparently, they have to obtain the purple pearl fruit by hook or by crook.” Lin Yuan told Leng Ruoxue the news he had heard.

nThe Xu family? Leng Ruoxue called Feng Da and asked him to tell everyone to pack up and to set off immediately.

n“Xue’er, why are we leaving in such a hurry?” Ye Chen looked at Leng Ruoxue with some uncertainty.

nFeng Moran also looked at Leng Ruoxue incomprehensibly. Didn’t Xue’er say we would rest for two days before setting off?

nThese days, not only had they captured a lot of high-level spirit beasts for contracts, but Xue’er had also arranged special training for them. They were all a little tired.

n“There’s a purple pearl fruit in front,” Leng Ruoxue said.

n“Today, I permit the use of flying spirit beasts,” Leng Ruoxue said and summoned Quill at the same time. She planned to reach the vicinity of the purple pearl fruit quickly and let the whole team have a good rest there instead.
