　　Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

　　The World Destruction Mercenaries’ Unit was situated in the northern area of Green Maple City. It was more withered and decayed when compared with the hustle and bustle of the eastern area.

　　At this moment, in the World Destruction Mercenaries’ territory, Gu Lan was leading Xia Linyu to the room to get some rest when suddenly, a noise was heard from outside the door.

　　“Scumbags of the World Destruction Mercenaries, get your asses out here!”

　　The voice was clear and crisp, echoing throughout the World Destruction Mercenaries’ Unit and through the skies.

　　Gu Lan mildly raised her attractive brows as a bite of impatience flashed in her eyes. She turned towards the young man in front of her and said, “Brother Xia, the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries have arrived. The person who just made the announcement was Jun Shi of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries. You go get some rest, I’ll stop them.”

　　“The Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries?” Xia Linyu furrowed his brows as a thought-provoking air flitted across his clear gaze. “You mean the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries who had forced you into Nemesis Forest?”

　　Gu Lan nodded. “The very same. They must have heard the news once the World Destruction Mercenaries had stepped into Green Maple City. I never thought that they would take advantage of our Leader’s absence and launch and attack. Brother Xia, don’t worry, I’ll protect you. Besides, these Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries are here for us. You’re only a guest so they shouldn’t hurt you.”

　　Protect me?

　　Xia Linyu laughed bitterly.

　　When have I been reduced to such a weakling that I would need a woman to protect me!

　　It’s the same with big sister and this little girl…

　　Gu Lan did not wait for Xia Linyu’s response. Instead, she turned around and went out the door. Her pink robes flashed across the young man’s limpid gaze and soon disappeared from his sight.

　　At the grand door, a group of gruff brutes had surrounded the front yard. When they saw the young woman walking out from inside, they immediately burst into laughter.

　　“Haha, I never thought that the World Destruction Mercenaries would have the guts to come back! If I were you and had managed to survive with great difficulty, I would definitely hide away and live an ignoble purpose. You, on the other hand, chose to return to Green Maple City.”

　　“The Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries have tolerated you long enough. Since we’ve shed all pretense of codiality, there’s no need for us to be nice to you scumbags! Gu Lan, surrender if you know what’s good for you! Don’t waste your breath!”

　　“Why are you alone? Where’s that little fair-faced boy that you’ve brought back? I see that he’s lost an arm. I wonder if he’s crippled down there too? Why don’t you come with me? I promise that I’ll treat you to delicious food and drink hard liquor. Can that crippled, fair-faced boy satisfy you at all?”

　　The crude words they spoke caused Gu Lan’s pale, pinkish face to flush red. Two flames flickered within her large, vivid eyes.

　　Suddenly, she burst into an icy laugh.

　　The smile on her sweet and lovable face was a delight to the eye.

　　Amongst the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries, some began to salivate as they stared lustfully at Gu Lan’s body from top to toe — not a single inch was spared.

　　“And I was wondering who you were.” Gu Lan laughed icily as she continued, “You’re all just a bunch of spineless cowards.”

　　“Spineless cowards? Who are you calling spineless cowards?”

　　A mercenary scowled at Gu Lan icily. If it had not been for the fact that his Leader has yet to issue an order, he would have pressed the damned girl beneath him long ago and ravaged her. Let’s see if she would still have the guts to speak to him in such a manner then.

　　“Why? Taking advantage of my Leader’s absence and coming here to bully a weak little woman like me? If you have the skills, come at us when our Leader has returned!” Gu Lan sneered as she spoke, “I wonder if you have the guts?”
