The owner of the powdery scent was a plump female rcenary, quite attractive with her glamorous skin-tight leather armor and short skirt that accentuated her fiery figure, making it all the more eye-catching.
Yue Jinghua had already sensitively heard the male rcenaries beside her swallowing their saliva.
This female rcenary’s na was Angel, a two-star rcenary from the dium-sized Fengmang rcenary Group.
Female rcenaries were rare on the continent, let alone beautiful ones, which were as scarce as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. A female rcenary like Angel was very much in demand in the Xuan Beast Ridge area.
Not long ago, when Angel was on a mission across the continent, she caught a fleeting glimpse of Qin Dongting and was utterly smitten, hounding him relentlessly thereafter.
Such propositions thrown at one’s doorstep were not uncommon in the rcenary World, and had it been any other rcenary, they would have surely taken full advantage of Angel by now. But Qin Dongting was impervious to such tactics; despite days of Angel’s obvious flirting and hinting, he did not even spare her a glance.
This infuriated the typically spoiled Angel. Knowing that Qin Dongting would make occasional returns to Helen, she made a point of intercepting him every now and then.
Qin Dongting preferred quiet, so upon entering the tavern, he picked a secluded corner not far from where Yue Jinghua was chatting with Boss Helen to sit down, just to the right of Yue Jinghua, with a slightly awkward single-seat space left in between.
Without any regard for Yue Jinghua, Angel barged in rudely.
After the precedent set by Lihua Xue, Yue Jinghua was once again dressed as a man, and with such female rcenaries, she preferred to avoid them if she could. She signaled to Shalman and the others to keep silent and ordered a glass of Jatte fruit wine to drink.
"Dongting, I’m thirsty, buy a drink?" Angel turned to Qin Dongting, very blatantly licking her lips which were even more red and lush than pogranate juice.
"No money," Qin Dongting muttered as he drank, picking up his cup, downing it in one go, staring at his cup and zoning out, not even sparing a stray glance for Angel.
Even drinking, the attractive man did it in such a charming way.
Angel gazed fixedly, her ears suspiciously flying up a shade of red.
Yue Jinghua could hardly stop herself from laughing, this man was such a top-grade character, she finally t soone even more icy than Qing Pu. At least, when Qing Pu was being sarcastically venomous, he would throw a soul-stirring glance, but this Qin Dongting was the epito of a coffin face.
Angel seed to have beco immune to his coldness, the colder the man, the greater the sense of accomplishnt when conquered. She snorted, pulled out a bunch of Gold Coins, and threw them to the chuckling bartender, "Dongting, are you short on cash? How about you join our rcenary Group? We’ve got a mission, a Yellow Pearl Level task."
Angel was confident Qin Dongting would accept her invitation.
Though the Fengmang rcenary Group wasn’t one of the top ten rcenary Groups, it was still a notable one on the continent, far better than Qin Dongting’s so Second Generation Soldier squad with a bone-chilling na.
"Not interested," Qin Dongting’s words were like knives laced with wind and snow during the cold December, cold enough to freeze soone alive. Angel’s smile imdiately stiffened at the corners of her mouth.
"Wow, soone’s here to poach," Yue Jinghua noticed sothing was off and then looked at Angel’s reaction.
Who would have thought this female rcenary would have such amazing frost resistance? Oblivious to Qin Dongting’s chilliness, she leaned closer with a seductive smile and blew a breath of warm air into Qin Dongting’s ear, "So, how about I keep you company tonight, any interest?"
Yue Jinghua felt goosebumps all over her arm. With such temptation, if Qin Dongting could still hold back, then he really wouldn’t be a man.
"Not appetizing," Qin Dongting sipped his drink and lightly spat out a sentence.
Angel paused, then gritted her teeth and said, "Are you insulting , or do you have soone in your heart?"
"I do," Qin Dongting replied without lifting his head, casually pointing in a certain direction to his right.
"Pfft," amidst the noisy tavern, several people spontaneously spat out their drinks.
Shalman and Dongdong looked at each other.
Qin Dongting’s voice wasn’t loud, but there were quite a few rcenaries watching the spectacle of this woman chasing after a man, and everyone’s eyes naturally fell on a particular corner of the tavern.
Unfortunately for Qin Dongting, his dismissive point happened to be directed at an actual person.
Getting shot while lying down!
Yue Jinghua had a few black lines on her forehead, and she had no choice but to brace herself against the murderous glares Angel threw at her.
Yue Jinghua’s mind was racing, "This beautiful miss rcenary, I am innocent, this isn’t my cup of tea."
The corners of Qin Dongting’s thin lips tightened slightly.
"Dongting, don’t overdo it, I know that your low-grade rcenary team has been struggling to operate. Hand over your rcenary performance records to , and I will definitely recomnd you to the leader," Angel suppressed the anger in her heart and forced a smile.
She was not as much of a vase as she appeared on the surface. On one hand, she was quite fond of Qin Dongting’s looks. On the other hand, she heard that Qin Dongting’s team had accepted a major commission from a big guild earlier on.
In recent years, Fengmang rcenary Group has been eager to join the ranks of the Great rcenary Groups. With the rcenary Assessnt approaching this year, they were still a few hundred points short. The leader of Fengmang rcenary Group had already made it clear: whoever earns those rcenary points will be made the vice-leader.
As long as she can persuade Qin Dongting to join their rcenary group, she will have the opportunity to transfer all the points earned by his team over the past year to Fengmang rcenary Group.
She had already inquired that Qin Dongting had not received a rcenary mission for a long ti, and without a new mission, his rcenary team would be disbanded.
As Angel spoke, her supple body clung to Qin Dongting like kudzu, her soft, boneless palm sliding up his chest.
Onlookers around them let out envious murmurs, seeing there was no drama to watch, and they turned to drink on their own.
Yue Jinghua’s eyes quickly caught a change; Qin Dongting’s hand, which had been resting on the bar counter, disappeared.
Before reacting, there was a clatter on the bar, and the sound of a scream, shattering bottles, and the bartender’s gasp all rang out at the sa ti.
With a whooshing explosion, Angel, who was whispering beside Qin Dongting’s ear a mont earlier, had no ti to dodge and was flung away.
With her leather armor in disarray, her eyes full of disbelief, and her damp hair sticking to her cheeks, the mont she was swatted away like a fly, a man as burly as a hill jumped out, "Qin Dongting, you mutt, you dare hit my woman."
Yan Bao, true to his na, was a brash fellow in stark contrast to Qin Dongting’s pleasing movents. His body was muscular, and his voice bood like a bell, shaking the whole tavern.
A fresh scene of a woman chasing a man suddenly turned into a lodramatic fight between two n over one woman.
Angel had always had a favorable impression of Qin Dongting. Coincidentally, Yan Bao, a fellow "Second Generation Soldier" mber of the rcenary squad and smitten with Angel at first sight, started to distance himself from her after she t Qin Dongting.
Qin Dongting remained motionless, but his eyes, which had shown no change, shifted slightly when he caught a glimpse of Yue Jinghua’s beautiful evasive movent technique.
Yue Jinghua frowned as she watched, cursing internally - damn Compass, calling them a talent, they’re clearly two pig-headed teammates.
"Here to watch the show?" Qin Dongting stood by with his hands tied, lifting his elegantly curved jaw.
This question, however, was directed at Yue Jinghua.
