Chapter 475: Two Adorable Animals (2)
Shen Yanxiao sighed loudly as she glared at the pathetic Vermilion Bird.
“Never mind. Let’s put this aside for now. I may need to go away from a couple of days, and I need you to come with me.” She must pay a visit to the Graveyard of the Sun. When Du Lang woke up, she would ask him about the details. Once she made sure that the Skeleton Flower was there, she would set off at once.
The Vermilion Bird discreetly caught his breath. He would never have the courage to fight back as he was intimidated by Shen Yanxiao’s severe lessons.
While Shen Yanxiao had decided not to get to the bottom of Vermilion Bird’s havoc-wreaking actions, she was not ready to let him off the hook so easily.
At night, when they were about to turn in, Shen Yanxiao forcefully occupied the only bed in the room.
The Vermilion Bird could only sleep on the floor by the corner with tears in his eyes and lips nibbled between his teeth.
The next morning, Evil Wolf was at the inn to tell Shen Yanxiao that Du Lang was awake and had asked for her.
With the Vermilion Bird and the little Phoenix in tow, Shen Yanxiao followed Evil Wolf to the mercenaries’ headquarters.
Du Lang was already awake. He was still weak, but he was no longer in a critical condition.
When Du Lang saw Shen Yanxiao, he felt a surge of happiness. The six wolves had told him what Shen Yanxiao had done for them the previous day. Du Lang had invited Shen Yanxiao to be an honorary member of the group to draw her to their side, but he never expected any favors from Shen Yanxiao. He did not blame Shen Yanxiao at all for the incident.
He had desired nothing, but the other party had repaid him for his kindness. That incident had helped Du Lang gain a better understanding of Shen Yanxiao’s personality.
The quiet kid had a rather strong sense of responsibility. Du Lang believed that they would never get the short end of the stick if they were to do anything for her.
“Huo Xiao, thank you for the potions that you have given us. No words can express my thanks to your great kindness. Tell me if you need anything in the future.” Du Lang knew that he did not misjudge Huo Xiao.
Shen Yanxiao laughed. “Brother Du, you are welcome. After all, you have suffered this tragedy because of me. I could not have stood idly by. I should be the one to apologize. It was my a.s.signment that has cost you greatly.” Money and potions were not of high value to Shen Yanxiao. She would never treat those who helped her unfairly.
Besides, she liked the mercenaries from the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group. They were sincere and loyal to friends. When she showed up that day, all the members received her with unprecedented hospitality. They had regarded her as one of them.
A real friend was more valuable than a bucket of gold.
Du Lang smiled. Those from the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group were men with righteous ardor. They had always been willing to help their friends at the cost of their own lives.
He did not expect the incident would pull Shen Yanxiao into their team.
“Brother Du, may I ask you about the Graveyard of the Sun? I wonder if you can give me some detailed information,” Shen Yanxiao asked.
Du Lang frowned at the mention of the Graveyard of the Sun.
“A friend told me something about the Skeleton Flower a while ago. He heard that the Skeleton Flower had been seen once in the Graveyard of the Sun. However, they only went past that place, so they knew very little about it. I did some research about the Graveyard of the Sun before I left…”
The Graveyard of the Sun was once an ancient battleground. The demon race leader had murdered the G.o.d of Sun there, which was why it was named Graveyard of the Sun. After tens of millions of years, that battleground had fallen into ruins. Over time, those huge piles of skeletons had been reduced into piles of dirt.
