In the small town nearest to the Lightning G.o.d Forbidden Area, the hubbub of the beginning, as if a briefly blooming flower, like the broad-leaved epiphyllum, had faded away. Many merchants that lost a small fortune due to the disappearance of the Lightning G.o.d Forbidden Area returned gloomily. While the left, they were complaining about the person who completed the mission of the Lightning G.o.d Forbidden Area. It was difficult for them to finally find a place where they were able to earn a fortune, and now, they had to leave. It was already hard for them to survive in these troubled times, and now, their source of fortune was taken away from them.

Long Yi’s group of seven arrived at a restaurant. Currently, this place was already deserted with only three to five people sitting at the tables inside the restaurant. Being a shrewd shopkeeper who had seen many people entering his restaurant, he instantly knew that Long Yi’s group were no ordinary people the moment they stepped in. He bowed unctuously and welcomed them, as he directly led them to the private room upstairs.

After refreshments and food arrived, Long Yi started filling his stomach as he asked Red Lady, “Big sister, what are you planning to do next? Do you want to travel together with us?” While they were on the way to this town, Red Lady had already told them her experience inside the Lightning G.o.d Forbidden Area, with the exception of the incident where Ye Changli tried to rape her.

Red Lady paused and her beautiful eyes rested on Long Yi for a moment before moving away. Shaking her head, Red Lady said with a smile, “No. First, I plan to go to the Mercenary Guild to dismiss the Lightning Mercenary Group. As for the things after that, I’ll think about it next time.”

Long Yi was startled. When he asked for Red Lady to follow the group to travel together, he had thought that Red Lady would definitely agree. However, to his surprise, she flatly refused him. Nevertheless, he nodded his head and didn’t insist on her following them because he clearly knew Red Lady’s character. She was a very strong and independent woman, and once she made up her mind, she wouldn’t change her decision easily.

“Big sister, come together with us! We can take care of each other on the way!” This time, Nalan Ruyue was the one who opened her mouth. Previously, she always had an ill-feeling towards Long Yi’s relations.h.i.+p with Red Lady. However, after interacting with Red Lady, Nalan Ruyue had changed her views and was urging for Red Lady to stay with them.

Red Lady was surprised when she heard what Nalan Ruyue said. She had never expected

for Nalan Ruyue to urge her to stay with the group. The evaluation of Nalan Ruyue instantly rose higher in her heart as she replied with a smile, “Little sister, aren’t you afraid of me stealing your husband? If I were to follow you guys around, wouldn’t there be more chances for me to s.n.a.t.c.h Long Yi away from all of you?”

Nalan Ruyue rolled her eyes towards Long Yi and answered, “If you want to s.n.a.t.c.h, then s.n.a.t.c.h, who cares about him?”

Red Lady giggled and her coquettish appearance made Long Yi absent-minded until Nalan Ruyue pinched the soft flesh on his waist, waking him up with a start. Red Lady was indeed a great beauty and there would be no man who would be able to resist her charms.

“Little sister, may I know who was the one who was jealous all day long when I joined your group? I remember seeing your sour face on the journey back to Blue Moon City!” Red Lady laughed.

“Who is jealous of him? I was only angry because he was looking at you, big sister, with lecherous eyes.” Nalan Ruyue’s beautiful face became red as she tried to justify herself. Nalan Ruyue was stubborn and didn’t want to admit being jealous of Red Lady, as a result, she s.h.i.+fted all the blame to Long Yi.

“Little sister, rest a.s.sured, big sister still wants to travel alone. In any case, thank you.” Red Lady sipped her tea as she took a quick glance at Long Yi. When she saw him smiling at her, she suddenly felt that among all the people who were present at the moment, only Long Yi was able to understand her thoughts. Even though there were many here who didn’t understand the meanings behind her actions, Red Lady felt that as long as Long Yi understood her, it was enough. Having such a confidant was a great blessing in her life.

While the group was talking at the table, the cooks in the restaurant were complaining bitterly about Long Yi’s group. Who were these people? Ten roasted whole pigs, over a hundred roasted ducks and piles of other dishes were actually unable to sate their hunger. Could these people actually have a black hole for a stomach? Those seven people had eaten food enough to feed a hundred people, however, it still wasn’t enough for them! While they were complaining, they didn’t realize that a great majority of the food had went into the stomachs of the three G.o.d-beasts.

After several hours of enjoying their meal, they stepped out of the restaurant after paying. After they paid, the shopkeeper looked at them with a gaze which seemed as though he was reluctant to part with them. However, there was a huge smile on his face which was unconcealed and his eyes were s.h.i.+ning when he looked at them. Such a generous customer, if he was able to encounter such generous customers every day, how wonderful would that be? The shopkeeper spread out his plump palm as he stared at it with dollar

dollar signs in his eyes, there was a genuine Amethyst coin silently lying on it.

When the group reached the exit of the town which wasn’t far away from the restaurant, they saw that there were two roads which led to different directions ahead of them.

The seven people stopped at this fork as they all knew that the time to part had arrived.

Red Lady was still wearing her fiery red skintight leather armor with the Scarlet Blood Bow on her shoulder. She appeared valiant and heroic in bearing as she turned and said with a smile, “I am going this way. Since we are headed in different directions, let’s part here. I hope we’ll see each other again.”

Long Yi also smiled, and after shaking off the sadness in his heart, he said, “There is no banquet without ending. Big sister, take care of yourself, we will definitely see each other again.” The rest of the group bade their farewells in succession as they prepared to set out in the other direction.

The beautiful pupils of Red Lady wandered around and finally rested on Long Yi’s handsome face. A complex expression flashed on her face on her moment, an expression of reluctance appeared briefly as it disappeared in an instant. With her face back to normal, she asked Long Yi with a smile, “Brother, can you hug your big sister?”

Long Yi smiled. This naturally was all he could wish for. He stepped forward and hugged Red Lady tightly.

“Little brother, don’t forget about your big sister.” Red Lady said using a low voice which could only be heard by the both of them. Without waiting for Long Yi’s reply, she pushed him away with a gentle shove and kissed the corner of his lips while standing on her toes. After that, she immediately turned around and left with a smile. In a moment, she disappeared from everyone’s line of sight.
