16 I’ll Have To Punish You Then! (2/2)
”Mu Li?” She looked up in surprise when she heard me mention Mu Li. ”He's the son of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company's leader. I don't really like him. Why?”
”He sent people out to find you…” I got up and got dressed. As she helped me put my shirt on, she whispered, ”You should go first… They're looking for me: if Mu Li sees you with me, he'll create trouble for you…” She hurriedly cleaned up the mess we made earlier before she pushed me away.
”Alright, I'll have the system teach you how to contact me through the system…” I waved at her and disappeared into the forest under her loving gaze. I quickly contacted Xiao Yan for an update as I ran.
Working together, I managed to avoid the search teams with Xiao Yan's help as the sky darkened. Just as I stepped near the mercenary camp, Yao Lao sensed something with his strong spiritual perception and warned me, ”That Mu Li brat is hiding behind that tree… It seems like he is waiting for you.”
'F*cking dumbass,' I cursed in my heart as I maneuvered around him and entered the camp through a different entrance. This Mu Li has big guts; he actually dared to interrupt my fun time…
I laid down on a log and felt my eyes slowly droop. I was so tired because of Ye Xian. Man, underneath that gentle and meek Fairy Doctor, there was a wild woman who needed my love!

”Little brother, wake up!” I woke up to someone shaking me gently. Parting my heavy eyelids, I nearly barfed when I saw who had woke me up from my peaceful sleep.
”Ah, it is young master Mu Li! Is something you need?” I suppressed the rising bile in my throat and smiled. What the h*ll is wrong with this person? First, he interrupted my fun time with Yi Xian. Now, he interrupts my peaceful sleep! I wished that someone interrupted his dad from meeting his mom!
”You are that two-star Dou Zhe youngster? I've heard from my subordinates about your great talent,” Mu Li slowly said with a warm smile as he put his hand on my shoulder. Ew. I'm not attracted to men…
”I only have good luck,” I forced a smile on to my face as I tried to not barf from his touch.
”Do you want to join the Wolf Head Mercenary Company? Our mercenary company will not treat a talented person like you badly,” Mu Li laughed as he attempted to recruit me into his father's company.
”Ah, no problem. If you change your mind, you can come and find me anytime. Our Wolf Head Company is always open to the strong…” Mu Li smiled warmly before he slowly walked away.
”Oh, right,” Mu Li turned to look at me curiously, ”Where were you before? I was looking for you, but you seemed to have disappeared…” Mu Li stressed the last word. I knew it. This bastard was suspicious…
”I was *ahem* venting my male urges in the woods…” I coughed and said, ”You know…”
”Ah,” Mu Li laughed as he shook his head, ”Join our Wolf Head Mercenary Company and you'll have countless beauties in your bed…” He continued to smile warmly as he tried to entice me with his offers.
Suddenly, a commotion sounded at the camp entrance. I looked over and saw a crowd of mercenaries.
”The Fairy Doctor is back!” The mercenaries swarmed around Yi Xian and pelted her with questions.
”Where did you go? You had us worried for a moment!” All the mercenaries seemed to be overprotective of Yi Xian as they showered her with care. Seeing this, Mu Li frowned as he walked towards the crowd.
”Fairy Doctor, what's that on your neck?” A sharp-eyed mercenary saw the hickey I had left on Yi Xian's neck and asked curiously. Although she had tried to conceal it with medicinal powder, her skin was too fair and the mark was still faintly visible to the naked eye.
”Erm, I walked into a tree and scratched myself,” Yi Xian lied, ”I already used some healing medicine on it…” She covered it with her hand and hurried back to a tent that had been set up for her.
When I saw this, I shook my head. Although Yi Xian was slightly older than me, she was less experienced in the world. Her actions were too suspicious and her excuse too weak.
As I walked to Xiao Yan, I saw Mu Li staring at Yi Xian's tent with suspicion in his gaze. Feeling my eyes on him, he turned around, but before he could look at me, I had turned away…

|3rd Person POV|
Mu Li watched Yang Lei walk away with Xiao Yan, chatting happily. His eyes narrowed and deep inside, cold anger could be seen. Obviously, Yang Lei's refusal to join his company had angered him a little.
”Little boy, I hope you won't interfere with my plans-” Mu Li whispered, exposing his duplicitous nature as his warm tone turned chilly, ”-otherwise, I'll have to kill you!
