Chapter 129: Chapter 120: I Can Be Nie Yun’s Concubine
"Brother Liao, what mission are you here for this ti?"
Nie Yun asked, trying to change the subject.
"We were hired to kill a Black Cloud Leopard!" At the ntion of the mission, Liao Feng indeed stopped teasing Nie Yun about the "pervert incident" and explained.
"A Black Cloud Leopard?" Nie Yun froze for a mont.
He seed to recall that in his past life, Tie Lan’s Demon Pet was a Black Cloud Leopard. It was enormous, over three ters tall and five ters long. If it hadn’t been so large, he never could have hidden inside its belly and successfully evaded the Mi Tian Sect’s inspection!
"That’s right. This Black Cloud Leopard is said to be an Early-Stage Qi Sect Demon Beast. It’s as fast as the wind and has already injured many people. The City Lord of Jibei City paid a huge price to hire us to kill it!" Liao Feng said with a laugh.
"An Early-Stage Qi Sect Demon Beast? Its combat strength is probably comparable to a Late-Stage Qi Sect expert. To fight such a powerful Demon Beast... Miss Tie Lan is only at the Peak of Body Ergence Realm, isn’t that..."
Although Nie Yun didn’t finish his sentence, Liao Feng definitely understood what he ant.
The Peak of Body Ergence Realm was quite good among ordinary people, but it was nothing in front of an Early-Stage Qi Sect Demon Beast. Wasn’t she just asking for death by coming here?
"Our young miss is a Beast Tar, but she doesn’t even have a single Demon Pet yet. When she heard about this, she insisted on coming..." Liao Feng explained.
Nie Yun understood.
’It seems the girl heard about a mission to hunt a Demon Pet and insisted on coming along. She thinks that since she’s a Beast Tar, she can just ta one for herself!’
At this thought, Nie Yun couldn’t help but shake his head. ’How could a Demon Pet be so easy to ta? Even for a Beast Tar, they first have to defeat the beast before it will submit, just like when I subdued Xiaohu! For her, with her ager Body Ergence Realm strength, to think she can ta it... it’s simply impossible!’
"Alright, we’ve been traveling all day. Let’s get so rest. We should reach the Black Cloud Leopard’s territory tomorrow. We must conserve our energy and build up our Spirit tonight!"
Night fell quickly. Tie Long gave the order, and the group stopped.
A bonfire crackled in the silent night as Nie Yun and the others sat gathered in a small valley.
Lighting a fire in a mountain range full of Demon Beasts was a major taboo, but no one was weak, and the small valley helped conceal the flas, so nobody objected.
"Brother Yangg Yun, where is your family from? What do they do?"
The group took out fine wine and gathered around the bonfire. Xiaomo took a large swig and asked with a grin.
"I’m just a disciple from a small family. None of you would have heard of it, so it’s better if I don’t say..." Nie Yun shook his head.
"If you don’t want to say, then don’t. I was just wondering about your family background, whether you’re worthy of our young miss. If you’re not, you’d best give up the idea, or you’ll just be asking for trouble..." Xiaomo said with a loud laugh.
Most rcenaries were straightforward and open. They faced life and death together on missions, so they didn’t bother with too many formalities. In their eyes, although Tie Lan was a young miss, there wasn’t a huge gap in status, and they often joked with her.
"Xiaomo, it looks like you don’t want your ears anymore!"
Tie Lan reached out, grabbed Xiaomo’s ear, and shouted angrily.
"Ow! I won’t do it again! Miss, I was wrong..." His ear throbbing with pain, Xiaomo quickly begged for rcy.
"Haha!" Everyone burst out laughing.
Those who entered the rcenary trade were mostly from poor families and had never received any formal etiquette training. Besides, they were together today, but who knew if they would be alive tomorrow? Too many rules would just be annoying. Therefore, they all called each other brother, without any regard for so-called Noble or low status.
Furthermore, most of these rcenaries were around forty years old by the ti they reached the Armor Realm. In their eyes, Tie Lan was just a young girl, so a harmless joke was no big deal.
Even Xiaomo was thirty-five or thirty-six. He was considered young compared to the others, which was why they called him Xiaomo, but in reality, he was much older than Nie Yun.
"By the way, Xiaomo, what’s the deal with that Nie Yun you ntioned? Tell us the details. A teenager who’s not even twenty reaching the Peak of Qi Sect? I just can’t bring myself to believe it. If a genius like that really existed, how co we rcenaries, who travel all over the place, have never heard a single thing?"
After a mont of laughter, soone in the crowd suddenly brought up the Nie Yun they had been talking about during the day.
"I only heard about it from others. Apparently, this Nie Yun used to keep a low profile; he was just a disciple from a declining branch of the Luoshui City Nie Family! It seems his own Clan Leader plotted against him, which caused him to erupt. I heard that on that day, the Four Great Families of Luoshui City ford a Gang Formation Realm squad to hunt him down, but he killed all ten-plus Gang Formation Realm masters by himself! That’s how he beca famous..."
Xiaomo thought for a mont and shared what he knew.
"Kept a low profile before? Sounds like this guy is pretty discreet... By the way, what was that you said about him being a Beast Tar?" the person who asked before spoke up again.
Hearing the question about the Beast Tar, Tie Lan also perked up, her eyes fixed intently on Xiaomo.
"It’s said that this Nie Yun has a giant Tiger-Headed Beast with the strength of the Peak of Qi Sect. It once killed the Clan Leaders of the Four Great Families in one fell swoop and quelled the chaos in Luoshui City... But these are all just rumors. I don’t know if they’re actually true!"
Hearing Xiaomo’s words, Nie Yun finally relaxed.
’Anyone who’s been to Luoshui City could find this stuff out; it’s hardly a secret. The day the City Lord flew into a rage and took action against the Nie Family, it caused a sensation throughout the entire city. It would have been hard for
to keep a low profile even if I wanted to!’
’Of course, outsiders wouldn’t be able to find out anything about the Luoo Qu Tomb, no matter how hard they tried.’
"There’s no smoke without fire. For rumors like this to spread, even if this Nie Yun isn’t at the Qi Sect Realm, his strength is probably nothing to scoff at," Tie Long said.
"Mhm, I think so too. Oh, right, I also rember that this Nie Yun is supposedly the son-in-law of the Luoshui City Lord. That day, to save him, the City Lord flew into a massive rage and gave the Nie Family a harsh lesson!"
Xiaomo recalled the most famous legend of Luoshui City and added.
"Hey, doesn’t Miss Lan’er always admire the strong? She’s always saying that her future husband must have greater talent and strength than her! This Nie Yun would be a perfect match, but too bad he’s already taken. You can forget about it... Haha!" Liao Feng suddenly burst out laughing and clapped Nie Yun on the shoulder. "I think this Brother Yangg Yun is a good fit. What do you say? Want your Brother Liao to be your matchmaker?"
"You..." Hearing Liao Feng tease her again, Tie Lan snorted. "Him? He’s so weak he’d fall over from a sneeze, and he’s a pervert to boot. You think I’d be interested in him? Hmph, what a joke!"
"Oh? Then why don’t our great Miss Lan’er tell us what kind of man you’re interested in? That way we can help you look!" Liao Feng continued with a laugh.
As the saying goes, "work is less tiring with both n and won around." Having a woman in a group of n to joke with really livened up the atmosphere.
"What kind of man am I interested in? If that Nie Yun you were just talking about is really that capable, and is also a Beast Tar, then I might consider it!" Tie Lan said.
"Consider it? But Nie Yun is already taken!"
"So what if he’s taken? As long as they’re not married, anything is possible! Hmph, besides, if his talent is truly greater than mine and he can defeat , I wouldn’t even mind being his concubine!"
Tie Lan said with a flick of her hand.
"Uh... a concubine?" Nie Yun had a strange expression on his face.
