Supreme Crazy Wife - Chapter 258
Chapter 258: Which One Did You Abduct? (4)
“Ruoxue, let’s go!” Ju Ri was already standing beside Leng Ruoxue at this moment.
Leng Ruoxue nodded, and the group left the Hurricane Mercenary Group’s headquarters and set off for the agreed-upon location.
Looking at their backs as they left, Commander Ju couldn’t help sighing in his heart. He really didn’t know what kind of man was worthy of such an outstanding girl.
“Big Brother Ju, what kind of person is the client?” Leng Ruoxue chatted with Ju Ri on the way.
“A new aristocratic family, I guess!” Ju Ri explained.
“Oh, I hope he isn’t some useless rich second-generation heir,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly.
Currently, there was only one country on the Ling Feng Continent, the Southern Dusk Empire. After the Spiritual Deities were eliminated, the old patriarch of the Eastern Lagoon Empire made it clear that they were not establishing their own country. Therefore, the Southern Dusk Empire became the only country on the continent and changed its name to the Great Southern Dusk Empire. Moreover, other than the original territory of the Eastern Lagoon Empire, all the areas on the Ling Feng Continent had already become the territory of the Great Southern Dusk Empire. Of course, this was also tacitly approved by Leng Ruoxue and the others.
In addition to the establishment of the Great Southern Dusk Empire with irresistible force, many aristocratic families emerged like bamboo shoots after the rain. But the current families could not be compared with the former Five Great Families because they were completely under the jurisdiction of the imperial authority.
As the former number one family, the Huo family naturally didn’t want to be controlled by others. Therefore, the Huo family set up their family in the second-largest city in the Eastern Lagoon Empire and changed its name to Fire City. After several months of hard work, the Huo family regained its position as the number one family.
Huo Qing had returned to the family after the patriarch of the Huo family found him. He was still the young master of the Huo family.
Even though the current Eastern Lagoon Empire didn’t have an imperial family, it adopted the system of city lords managing it. However, it was not easy to become a city lord. You had to go through numerous assessments and tests to become a city lord. After the tests, the citizens would vote in the end. It could be said that Leng Ruoxue had brought the democratic system of her previous world over.
“Probably not. I’ve already explained the conditions to them clearly.” Ju Ri smiled. He admired the rules of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group, and he had implemented certain regulations according to them. So now, the cohesion and loyalty of the entire mercenary group were incomparable to before.
“I hope so.”
“Big Brother Ju!” A beautiful girl dashed over like a butterfly before Leng Ruoxue and the others reached the gathering point.
Leng Ruoxue raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the girl, and she glanced at Ju Ri with a bit of teasing. “It seems that Big Brother Ju is lucky in love.”
I hope she isn’t a troublesome rotten love interest, Leng Ruoxue thought.
“Ruoxue, don’t talk nonsense. I’ve only met her once. There’s nothing between us.” Ju Ri rolled his eyes helplessly. His mind was on cultivation now, so he had no time to think about these trivial things. Alas! It seems that Ruoxue has been too bored recently.
“Big Brother Ju, you’re finally here.” The beautiful girl had already run to Ju Ri. But she only had eyes for Ju Ri and automatically filtered Leng Ruoxue and the others beside Ju Ri out.
Leng Ruoxue and the others tactfully left Ju Ri’s side to avoid becoming third wheels.
“Xiang Dong, who is that woman?” Feng Da asked curiously.
“She’s the client of our mission, the daughter of a newly risen aristocratic family,” the captain of the Hurricane Mercenary Group explained softly.
“She’s not a troublesome woman, is she?” Feng Da asked with a slight headache. He was very uninterested in women other than his young lady and the women around her now.
“Uh, I’m not sure either,” Xiang Dong said speechlessly. But he was thinking in his heart, What kind of woman is considered troublesome to Feng Da?
“Ruoxue, she is the client of our mercenary group, Ma Yurou, the eldest young lady of the Ma family, the second-largest family in Fire City.” Ju Ri led Ma Yurou to Leng Ruoxue.
“Miss Ma, she is Miss Ruoxue from our mercenary group.” Ju Ri very politely introduced the two.
They nodded at each other, making acquaintances.
“Big Brother Ju, let’s go quickly!” Ma Yurou said impatiently.
Ju Ri looked at Leng Ruoxue and said helplessly, “Okay.”
“Miss, looks like you really don’t get along well with women! That Miss Ma doesn’t have a good impression of you!” Feng Da whispered to Leng Ruoxue.
Leng Ruoxue rolled her eyes at Feng Da and said nonchalantly, “She’s just a passerby. Why would I care?”
Leng Ruoxue and the others followed Ju Ri to the gathering point.
On the spacious ground, two enormous flying spirit beasts were descending.
“Miss Ruoxue, I’m so sorry. My flying spirit beasts are too small and can’t seat many people. Why don’t you sit with my subordinates?” Ma Yurou looked at Leng Ruoxue in slight embarrassment.
Leng Ruoxue glanced at the two spirit beasts and said coldly, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Miss Ma. I have my own spirit beasts.”
“Ruoxue.” Ju Ri looked at Leng Ruoxue awkwardly and was annoyed at Ma Yurou even more. Hmph! She’s just the daughter of a nouveau riche. He wondered what the Ma family would think if they knew that their beloved daughter was so against someone they would never be able to curry favor with in this life.
“Big Brother Ju, sit with Miss Ma. Don’t worry about me,” Leng Ruoxue said understandingly and gave Ju Ri a look.
“Okay then!” Ju Ri nodded helplessly and hopped onto Ma Yurou’s flying spirit beast.
“Miss Leng, our spirit beasts fly very quickly, so you have to follow us and don’t lose sight of us,” Ma Yurou said with concern, then ordered her spirit beasts to take off.
“Don’t worry. I’ll keep up,” Leng Ruoxue said gratefully.
“Miss, shall we set off?” Feng Da said helplessly when he saw that the two spirit beasts had already flown far away. Alas! It seems that Miss has really been too bored recently.
