Mercenaries in Two Worlds

♂』It turns out that the Mercenary Center was willing to intervene in this matter and help mediate, but the leader of the Three Swords Mercenary Group, Ci Yan, demanded that the Wang Family Mercenary Group compensate him with one hundred mid-grade spirit stones as medical expenses for injuring his own people.

The Three Swords Mercenary Group started the trouble first, but then demanded compensation from the Wang Family Mercenary Group. That's incredibly unreasonable.

"If you don't give it to us, you'll shut us down. Does this mercenary center belong to them?" Wang Er was furious.

Zhang Qian murmured from the side, "In a sense, the mercenary center in Featherfall City does indeed belong to them."

"Uh..." Wang Er was speechless for a moment after being choked by something.

"We have a month to raise the funds, there's still time," Ye Mei offered a word of comfort, but it had little effect, and everyone remained dejected.

"Ci Yan is only at the Yuan Dan realm. Perhaps I can also advance to the Yuan Dan realm this month." Although he said that, everyone knew that the hope was slim. Zhang Qian helped Ye Mei improve her movement techniques and martial skills, which only had an indirect effect on improving her cultivation level. It was not as powerful as improving her cultivation technique.

"Take these forty mid-grade spirit stones; that will give you a better chance." Zhang Qian took out all his savings and threw them on the table.

Wang Er, the money-grubber, stared wide-eyed, drooling all over the place. He tentatively took one and sniffed it like a dog. "It's real, it's all real, so many spirit stones!"

Ye Mei reached out and pushed it, saying, "Keep it for yourself. You've already given enough."

"Stop nagging, take it. All my hopes are pinned on you." Zhang Qian waved his hand dismissively, not wanting to argue any further, and nonchalantly carried Wangcai out the door. Inwardly, however, he was heartbroken. He was back to square one, completely penniless. "Sigh, why can't I control this urge to show off? The price is too high."

Looking at the pile of spirit stones, Ye Mei was deeply moved and whispered, "I will definitely not let you down."

She, who had been all gentle, suddenly frowned and shouted, "Wang Er, what are you doing?" when she saw Wang Er secretly taking the spirit stones one by one and hiding them in his bosom.

"The spirit stone ran into my arms on its own; it has nothing to do with me."

"Hmph, childish, let go."

"No, let me touch it, ah~ it's so smooth."

"You can touch me, but don't lick me, ah, no..."

The noisy commotion inside the house was enough to make anyone's mind wander. Zhang Qian, who was far away, stumbled again upon hearing it and began to wonder if staying away from these people was the right thing to do.

Wangcai, lying on the stone slab, rolled over, its four paws on the ground. It sniffed nervously, then let out a joyful "woof woof." Yes, it was "woof woof." Wang Er, who was shelling beans nearby, looked at Wangcai strangely. After playing with Ah Huang next door for so long, Wangcai, a second-tier savage beast, had been assimilated. It seems that the genes of mixed-breed dogs are still more powerful.

Wangcai, unaware of all this, took off running outside, accompanied by a series of clear, loud barks that most dogs couldn't produce...

A roar echoed from outside the door, a pure roar from the Purple Moon Lion.

"So...it's...Miss Xiao, the one who...lost..." Upon seeing the eldest daughter of the Xiao family from Jianwei City, Wang Er quickly stood up and brushed the bean shells off his clothes.

Dressed simply in a blouse, Xiao Wanjun was accompanied only by her old servant. There was no one else around. She looked at the two little purple moon lions playing together at her feet and a gentle smile appeared on her face. This smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, making people feel happy.

This smile made Wang Er momentarily lose his composure. When he came to his senses, his face flushed red and he couldn't say a word. He felt his tough heart soften and he was completely captivated.

"Oh, Miss Xiao, you've arrived." Zhang Qian walked out slowly, pretending to be elegant. Actually, he had realized what was happening when Wangcai shouted, but he had carefully combed his hair in the room before coming out.

He smiled with his eyes narrowed, thinking he was very charming, but when he saw Xiao Wanjun's gentle and beautiful face, he forgot all the lines he had prepared and became a bit wooden, fully exposing his otaku nature.

Most otaku get shy around girls, especially their dream girl. They're not just shy, they're also a bit arrogant. Luckily, Zhang Qian isn't a typical otaku. He might be shy, but he doesn't have that arrogant streak.

Seeing that Zhang Qian and Wang Er were both stunned, the old servant coughed lightly, reminding the two not to be so rude, otherwise he would lose control of his hands and teach them a lesson.

"Ah... good morning." Zhang Qian realized he had been rude, staring at the girl for so long.

Xiao Wanjun wasn't annoyed. She covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Young Master Zhang, it's already afternoon." Her voice was as melodious and pleasant as a nightingale's song.

Zhang Qian was even more embarrassed, and changed his attention by picking up Xiao Yue'er, who was obviously a size bigger than Wangcai, and said, "Long time no see, did you miss me?"

"Hmph." Little Yue'er can actually speak animal language now, meaning no. "You're too embarrassed to admit it, aren't you? It's okay, I understand." Zhang Qian hugged Little Yue'er, who was struggling to escape, and rubbed its head vigorously.

"What's your name?" Zhang Qian wouldn't let go of it, and Wangcai, as an accomplice, kept gnawing on its fellow creature's leg, a truly despicable act.

Unable to break free, Xiaoyue had no choice but to accept her fate and reveal her name.

"What? Little Yue'er, let me see if you're a boy or a girl." Ignoring Little Yue'er's dignity, he laid her sprawled on the ground, legs spread wide. "You're female, Little Yue'er, that name..."

Seeing the two beasts and one person playing around, Xiao Wanjun found it quite amusing and chuckled, "Young Master Zhang actually understands the legendary beast language. These are the names I gave him. I wonder what advice he has for me?"

Zhang Qian was about to complain about how tacky it was, but then he realized that it was Miss Xiao who had given the name. So he changed his tone and started to flatter her, saying, "This name is so well chosen. No wonder she is a young lady from a family of scholars and good manners."

"I wonder what's so good about it?"

"Uh..." Speechless for a moment, Zhang Qian could only betray Wangcai, picking it up and saying, "It's a better name than my Wangcai."

"Wangcai...Young Master Zhang is really...really an interesting person." Xiao Wanjun was quite speechless; what an unreliable name.

Little Yue'er, however, understood and kept scratching Wangcai's head with her paws, laughing. But Wangcai's intelligence development was much slower, and he didn't understand at all. After being scratched by Little Yue'er, he got angry and opened his little mouth to bite Little Yue'er's head...

Xiao Wanjun sat gracefully on the stone bench, smiling as she watched the two little beasts run and play around. Zhang Qian, standing to the side, didn't know what to say, pondering what to start a conversation. After a moment of silence, he suddenly shouted, "Xiao Yue'er, come here."

Little Yue'er was quite obedient; she waddled over, wagging her big bottom.

"Is there anything you'd like to say to Miss Xiao?"

"I want to eat meat, not drink animal milk."

Wangcai eats sweet potatoes and pork every day, while Xiaoyue drinks animal milk; no wonder their IQs are so different.

Zhang Qian acted as a temporary translator, which brightened Xiao Wanjun's eyes and finally broke the awkward silence. He explained Xiao Yue'er's requests one by one, and Xiao Wanjun carefully remembered them.

This is true love! Unlike Zhang Qian, who completely neglected Wangcai. It's a good thing Wangcai looks simple-minded, otherwise he'd definitely regret not going with Xiao Wanjun.
