Mercenaries in Two Worlds

As for how these two new employees were able to attract large deposits, in his opinion, one relied on luck and the other on family connections; they were both equally successful.

Zhang Qian was completely unaware that he had secretly shown off. He was still thinking about the recent gold price and muttered, "Is it two hundred and thirty or two hundred and fifty? Hmm, probably two hundred and fifty."

After finishing his business, Zhang Qian packed his bag and was about to go back when Ouyang Xiuyan stopped him, saying that he wanted to have dinner with Boss Wang. Zhang Qian had no choice but to agree. Actually, he wanted to go back as soon as possible and take a trip to the other world.

That's how it is at dinner parties—mutual flattery, endless toasts. Zhang Qian wasn't a drinker to begin with, but with his spiritual power, he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Even when the two people opposite him had turned purplish-red, he remained unfazed…

After some effort, they finally managed to send the two drunkards home. Zhang Qian didn't know where Wang Dacai lived, so Ouyang Xiu, slurring his words, said he would take them to his house.

When Ouyang Xiuyan's wife, Li Cuier, saw that her husband was drunk again, she told Zhang Qian to throw the two of them on the living room sofa, then slammed the door shut and went to sleep, completely ignoring them.

"Sigh..." Zhang Qian already knew Li Cuier's temper, so he went to find a blanket. When he came back, he saw the two drunkards embracing each other. The scene was too beautiful to look at, so he quickly covered himself with the blanket and left.

As for whether any tragedy occurred later, Zhang Qian had no idea.

After getting home and washing up, I opened my laptop and thought, "I can travel through time now."

The notebook displayed a message: "Reserve capacity requires five days, please wait..."

"Alright, fine." Zhang Qian closed his laptop and lay down on the bed helplessly.

In the pitch-black night, for some reason, Zhang Qian thought of Miss Xiao's gentle face, a faint longing rising in his heart. "Hmm? I'm actually thinking about a woman from another world. What a terrible thought! How am I going to explain this to my parents? This isn't just a simple long-distance relationship!"

"Am I supposed to marry one from each of the two worlds? That's not a good idea. I'm not only a traditional person, I'm also a devoted one..."

Zhang Qian was clearly the kind of person who overthinks things and has unrealistic expectations. It's not certain whether the young lady of the city lord's family would even remember a poor country bumpkin like him.

In the city lord's mansion of Sword Guard City, Xiao Wanjun held the Purple Moon Lion as if it were a baby, "Little Moon, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"

Her delicate little face was slightly furrowed with worry as she softly coaxed the little purple moon lion. But the little beast lay lazily in Xiao Wanjun's arms, its ears drooping, ignoring her attempts to soothe it.

"Miss, does Little Yue'er miss her brother?" A maid with a round face sat on a stone bench, her hands supporting her head.

"Is that so, Little Moon?"

"Roar, roar..." The Purple Moon Lion seemed to understand Xiao Wanjun's words, and raised its head to roar twice.

Xiao Wanjun smiled slightly and said with heartache, "It's my fault, sister. I'll take you there."

"Xiao Lü, could you call Uncle Zhong over for me? I don't quite remember what those guys were called."

"Yes, Miss." The little maid named Xiao Lü clutched her skirt and skipped away.

As expected, Xiao Wanjun had absolutely no idea what Zhang Qian's name was... And yet, someone was still ridiculously indulging in wishful thinking.

"Five days have passed! Can we go to Tianxing Continent now?" Zhang Qian asked, timing his arrival at the laptop.

"Yes, are you ready?"

"Of course I'm ready. Didn't you see I've already changed my clothes? By the way, if five days have passed here, then only thirty minutes have passed over there, right?"

"No, five days have also passed on Tianxing Continent."

"Why, why are they different?"

"Physics on Earth cannot yet comprehend the rules of time; please do not humiliate yourselves."

"Get lost, I'm leaving."

Zhang Qian rushed through the timeline, having been missing for five days. He wondered if the Wang family mercenary group was worried...

As Zhang Qian's figure disappeared, a white light suddenly appeared in the room, and within it, a white humanoid soul could be vaguely seen. A voice, as if from ancient times, murmured, "Having stayed on this planet for so long, my acting skills are getting better and better!"

He even let out a chuckle, but soon it turned into a sigh, "I wonder if this sixteenth person I chose can rise to power... Xu Yin, one day, I will make you vanish into thin air, even for thousands of lifetimes."

Unfortunately, Zhang Qian didn't see what happened in the room. At this moment, he suddenly reappeared from the room where he had disappeared last time, and then his feet were entangled by Wangcai, who had been guarding the room all along.

"Wangcai, did you miss me?" Zhang Qian picked up Wangcai with both hands, rubbed its head, and saw that it had gotten a little fatter, with more flesh on its face. He tugged at it a couple of times and it was almost like a pancake. Its elasticity was also amazing. The people from the Wang Family Mercenary Group must be feeding it well.

Wangcai grunted twice in dissatisfaction, glaring at his legs to show he didn't like being held like that...

"Zhang Qian, where have you been? We've been looking for you for so long." Wang Yi heard a noise in the house, came in, and saw Zhang Qian, who had been missing for five days.

"Um, I'm sorry, I got so engrossed in my cultivation in the back mountain that I lost track of time."

"Oh, be more careful next time." Hearing Zhang Qian's explanation, Wang Yi didn't want to criticize him too much, after all, he was diligent in his cultivation.

"Ye Mei, I'm already a core member of the Three Swords Mercenary Group." A commotion came from outside the manor.

Wang Yi and Zhang Qian quickly ran out to see what was going on.

Outside the door, Zhao Yi was dressed in a fiery red outfit with three crossed swords embroidered on his chest. He was accompanied by two other people dressed in the same outfit. They were holding swords in their arms and looking at Ye Mei with a smug expression.

"What you do is none of my business." During the five days Zhang Qian was away, something must have happened, but Zhao Yi was actually confronting Ye Mei and other mercenary group members.

"Hmph, stubborn as a mule, huh? You've already regretted not accepting my proposal that day. Otherwise, you'd be a member of the Three Swords Mercenary Group now, instead of stuck in this lousy Wang Family Mercenary Group." It turns out that Zhao Yi had rashly proposed to Ye Mei a few days ago, and after being rejected, he became enraged and left the Wang Family Mercenary Group. For some reason, he suddenly became a core member of the Three Swords Mercenary Group, the largest mercenary group in Yuluo City. Now, feeling quite self-satisfied, he wanted to humiliate Ye Mei, who had rejected him so ungratefully.

Ye Mei looked at Zhao Yi coldly, her usual charming expression completely gone. "Are you crazy? You're just sucking up to people. How high you climb is none of my business. Even if you become the leader of the Three Swords Mercenary Group, I won't even glance at you."

Not seeing a trace of regret on Ye Mei's face, Zhao Yi looked very unhappy and snorted coldly, "You shameless bitch, it's your good fortune that I took a liking to you." His logic has always been rather bizarre. He thought that after he achieved success, Ye Mei would definitely regret not agreeing to be with him. At least Zhang Qian, who was standing next to him, couldn't understand this kind of absurd logic.

"Zhao Yi, what did you say? Shut your mouth and stop spewing nonsense."
