CHAPTER 87: THE ALLIANCE!

"Things have to be done for the greater good," the Saintess declared, her voice steady and resolute.

"From where I stand, it seems that your team is also somewhat limited in number, much like mine. It’s a win-win situation for both our teams."

"And I seriously doubt that; Young Master would ever resort to taking my life."

"Interesting. But I still don’t see any reason to form an alliance, as for your doubt you may believe your beauty shall attract this Young Master, alas, it’s not... Dustless face, well-developed body, and nothing more." Zhao Fan uttered without even glancing at her twice.

Firm mind, pure heart that’s what Young Master Zhao is.

"Ah, I seriously doubt that... If I am not wrong, Young Master is a Dual Cultivator and I know that you are thinking; I can be of good use, and with two teams, we both can easily make progress."

"And I am well aware of the fact that you know what I know about you," she added.

"If Young Master is testing me, then I suggest it’s better not to, it’s only a waste of time, aside from that, If young master has any demand for alliance you can request it. You have already heard, but, I shall repeat it; if the Young Master wants me for the alliance you can do so."

Ling’er looked at her with her old eyes... How dare this vixen talk like that? But she can’t help but appreciate her beauty thus, she secretly glanced at Young Master Bai to know if he had any say, but he was completely calm and composed showing no emotions.

She took a deep breath knowing Young Master may accept this woman’s proposal, but come to think of it, can those things even be done here?

It feels like someone is watching them, so, it’s very likely not to do anything sexual here.

"I like your character, you are clearly on the weaker side yet, you want to hold ground. Nonetheless, I am amazed how effortlessly you managed to kill that boy." Zhao Fan clapped his hands.

"You are welcome."

"Thank you for your grace..." She said coming closer and sitting right beside Ling’er. Despite the jealousy, she is a woman with a good heart.

"Here, take this, you must be hungry..." Ling’er headed the boar’s meat and she accepted the offered meat with a gracious nod.

After they talked for minutes, about east, west, north, and south.

It seems to clear this trial, your team needs the core of a level 5 beast and kill someone else... Zhao Fan did manage to kill that Nightfang wolf but he doesn’t have the core and, likely, it’s already stolen by someone else.

And going there now to search for it is pointless, those people might have already moved ahead.

How interesting, their early lead is already gone and someone is already above them stealing the meat that was meant for them.

Even so, Young Master wasn’t angry about the wolf issue. It’s good that Yi Xin Xue managed to escape thus they are still alive, but alas, his cultivation has dropped to the 3rd stage of Qi Saint realm.

...

Sss!

Zhao Fan’s eyes remained locked, contemplating the next move about the task and hunting a tier 5 core. Suddenly the air became heavy with tension.

He sensed it before he saw it—a ripple in the underbrush. A nearby rustling, which is a clear indication that another group is approaching.

"Get ready," he said, alerting Ling’er and the others, It seems they are going to face another group.

Soon, what emerged was the trio of hulking figures carrying sharp weapons, their predatory grins illuminating a disdain for weakness. The leading figure, a bully-looking bulky man, chuckled, "Look what we have here! Pretty girls, hehe. Hand over your supplies if you want to keep those pretty faces intact!"

They were real, they were more interested in supplies and female-looking dickless daoist than women.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Zhao Fan quickly got up, and using his word intent he sliced their neck instantly, a frog at the bottom of a well remains unaware of the vast sky outside ruled by dragons.

Court death for no reason, play with the sleeping lion’s tail for fun.

"Young Master, what shall we do now... Hunting another rank 5 best would be hard, also, if we want her to be promoted as well, we need to hunt 2 rank 5 beasts..." Yi Xin Xue said stealing a glance at Wa Ti Ning.

Being rational, hunting one rank 5 beast is already hard, not to mention the fighting power has decreased a little with cultivation, and now they have to hunt two can’t five beasts.

"Forgive me... But I am ashamed for being useless, I have nothing but my body to pay for." Wa Ti Ning said lowering her head, after all, she knew she couldn’t get anything for free and knew she was useless.

But she was shocked to see how brutal and cold Young Master was, instantly killing those three with no words.

"Worry not... We will be going on a hunting spree, we shall hunt and rob anyone we come across, as we need to collect as many points as possible from now on."

Hearing this women were shocked, hunt and rob anyone? Isn’t that too unorthodox?

"But Young Master, it might be hard to with only six of us..." Wa Ti Ning said. How can they fight another group with half the numbers?

"Yeah... I think it would be troublesome," Jia Mei said gelling a little scared.

To which, Zhao Fan showed no reaction, a newborn child that have yet to learn the truth of the world. Nothing belongs to an individual but nature, if you can’t defend it, you have no right to possess it.

"But Young Master... We might collect a lot of negative karma, and this place is for inheritance and we might not get it. This Maid feels like we should hunt the rank 5 beast that us already weakened by others."
