Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 847 - 97: Gentleness Meant for One Person

"If you fall into the hands of the enemy, what will you do?"

"Swear to defend the organization’s secrets to the death, never betray,"

"If the enemy threatens you with your closest friends and family, what will you do?"

"Swear to defend the organization’s secrets to the death, never reveal a bit of the organization’s secrets,"

"If you fall into the hands of the enemy, what will you do?"

"There will never be such a day," the young girl crossed her legs, her delicate and refined eyes and nose wrinkling at the question, showing her disdain for this foolish question.

"I mean if, please answer the organization’s question,"

"There is no if because I am Yue Xiaoqi, I will not be captured. Even if I am captured, I have ways to drag the opposite party down with me. As for my closest friends and family being caught? I would settle the scores with their friends and family, I will let people know what it means to harm one but injure oneself a hundred times over." The girl put down her leg, playing with a miniature handgun, her eyes sharp like an eagle.

Shalman’s answer made Liao, residing within "Fa Xiaoyi", think of Yue Xiaoqi.

This was a standard Yue Xiaoqi-style response, overbearing, self-serving, never allowing others to gain even a sliver of advantage from oneself.

Liao, he thought of Yue Xiaoqi again!

Lie Sisi, watching from the side, was gnashing her teeth.

Regardless of whether it was Fa Xiaoyi or Liao, whether it was in this life as Prince Fa or in the previous life as Liao, he was always indifferent towards both Lie Sisi and Zhen Ni.

Lie Sisi had hinted multiple times, but Fa Xiaoyi never showed any reaction.

The brilliance of Fa Xiaoyi’s laughter reminded her of the past life, where Liao only laughed so heartily when with Xiaoqi.

Jealousy, like a sharp knife, once again stabbed deep into Zhen Ni’s heart.

Could it be that Liao was interested in this woman before him?!

"Sharp-tongued little girl," Lie Sisi slapped Shalman across the face.

Shalman’s fair face instantly showed a handprint. She touched her cheek and spat back, spewing a mouthful of blood onto Lie Sisi’s face.

"Enough," Fa Xiaoyi frowned, displeased as he stopped Lie Sisi, he had already decided.

Killing an insignificant female Beastmaster indeed couldn’t solve the problem. What he wanted was a usable Beast Taming Ring. If Yue Jinghua could truly mass-produce such rings, he wouldn’t mind temporarily making friends with an enemy.

If what Shalman just said truly came from that woman, it would indeed suit his appetite.

Perhaps "Fa Xiaoyi" had never truly understood his fiancee.

Fa Xiaoyi did not realize this was the first time he had taken interest in a woman other than Yue Xiaoqi.

"You want to cooperate with Yue Jinghua? You can’t," Lie Sisi was terrified upon realizing Fa Xiaoyi’s intent.

The thing she feared most was about to happen.

She must not let Fa Xiaoyi contact Yue Jinghua again. If he discovered that Yue Jinghua was Yue Xiaoqi’s secret, it would be over.

"When did my affairs become your concern? Don’t forget, you’re just my lapdog," Fa Xiaoyi would never tolerate a subordinate overstepping their role. Be it the previous life or this one, only Yue Xiaoqi could act willful and impudent before him, "Find a Green Winged Bat, send a message to Yue Jinghua, I want to negotiate with her."

Fa Xiaoyi’s words made Lie Sisi feel like she was falling into a bottomless abyss, her limbs growing cold, her breathing becoming labored.

Shalman also breathed a sigh of relief beside her, she never expected that Fa Xiaoyi would ignore her threats. The old irascible and indifferent Prince Fa would have likely hacked her into pieces by now.

"What are you looking at? You wicked woman, I can see that Prince Fa is much smarter now, he won’t be manipulated by a malicious woman like you. Don’t think about using your tricks on me, Prince Fa and Jinghua will know, and you’ll definitely end badly," Shalman glanced at Lie Sisi. Seeing her pale face, Shalman felt delighted.

"Don’t be too happy too soon," Lie Sisi glared fiercely at Shalman. Send a message, then let’s see how you "send" the message to Yue Jinghua.

Lie Sisi stormed off, while Shalman leaned against the cold wall and closed her eyes for a brief respite. She wasn’t afraid of whatever means Lie Sisi might employ.

She believed that the past Yue Jinghua handled Lie Sisi well, and could do it again in the future. This time, if Lie Sisi dared to play tricks, she would surely persuade Jinghua to deal a heavy hand to eliminate future troubles forever.

As night gradually fell, cheers erupted from the Firethorn Shrub, a stark contrast to the piercing wails of Compass screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Take it easy, Dongzi, do we have enmity or something? Captain, help me remove the arrow! Ah, it’s better to let Qian Luo handle it, it hurts me to death," Compass lay on the ground, his Clothes and Armor removed, leaving only a short pair of pants to cover himself, looking rather unsightly.

These bird eggs were all gathered by Compass, who climbed up the Flame Arrow Wood by hand, taking advantage of the mother bird’s inattention to steal from the nest.

The Flame Arrow Wood is a special type of tree adorned with fine arrow-shaped leaves. It shoots out arrow wood that can scorch the skin, making it difficult for others to climb, even in battle armor.

But with Compass in the July Team, they did not fear this obstacle.

The Divine Rune on Compass made his resistance formidable, surpassing that of the Chenwu Clan’s green-haired turtle, Changsun Gongyang.

Thus, Yue Jinghua didn’t hesitate to have Compass climb the tree immediately.

Compass might not be afraid of the leaves of the Flame Arrow Wood, but he was afraid of pain.

The arrow wood might not harm his body, but the burning sensation where the arrow wood hit was very real.

Compass almost couldn’t bear the pain several times, nearly falling from the tree.

It was only after Yue Jinghua promised that if he successfully gathered the bird eggs, Shalman would surely speak well of him upon returning, did Compass agree reluctantly.

The result was that Compass stole the bird eggs, but his entire body resembled a porcupine, covered with the leaves of the Flame Arrow Wood. The pain was so intense that he had to rely on fellow mercenaries to help pull them out one by one.

After teasing Compass for a while, the members of the July Mercenary Team finally let the chubby man recover from his emotional and physical distress.

Compass had stolen more than a dozen bird eggs. Everyone watched with joy at the line of eggs freshly stolen from the Flame Arrow Wood laid out before them.

These eggs of the ostrich inhabiting the Flame Arrow Wood, although smaller than ordinary ostrich eggs Yue Jinghua saw in the modern world, were much larger than typical bird eggs, each about the size of a human head.

Breaking open one of the eggs, a rich golden yolk flowed out.

The group was in no mood to cook the bird eggs, merely cracking a few open and sharing them between two people.
