However, Xiao s.h.i.+ was quicker than them, of course. From her original position on the bottom of the hill, she arrived at men's place completely unannounced.

Despite knowing what to do, the men stepped back. By instinct, they knew that Xiao s.h.i.+ was not really someone they could mess with recklessly.

"What are you all doing?! Capture her!" A man demanded that seems to be the leader of the group.

"Quite!" Xiao s.h.i.+ suddenly yells loudly. This had quickly made them stiffen, froze in place.

After that, she again tried to mimic a frog's movement and sound while her body is still in all fours, slowly moving around as if looking for something.

Regardless of how strong Xiao s.h.i.+'s presence is, her action did not seem from someone who was in the right mind.

With this thought, the leader's eyes narrowed. An evil smiled appeared slowly on his face. "She is the only one! Capture her!" He commanded softly, only for the other men to hear.

It was easy to understand what the leader was thinking. They, too, had the same idea. Thus, they ignore their instinct.

"Aaaaahhh!"

"No! No! Don't kill me!"

"Get back!"

"Stay away from her!"

Capturing Xiao s.h.i.+ was easier said than done, of course.  Xiao s.h.i.+ fought with them and quickly crushed the men's pride or hope. The screams got Yen Mingjue's attention.

"Don't kill them all! We can use them as a payment to enter!"

"Master, you are back!" Xiao s.h.i.+ happily shrieked as she stopped what she was supposed to do. She was on the verge of severing a man's head from his body. It was a good thing that the man was already unconscious, making things easier for her.

Xiao s.h.i.+ continued, "Master, I heard the key somewhere here!" She then immediately started looking again after throwing the unconscious man away from her.

"Really?! Look for it before it gets away! What direction did you last heard it?" Yen Mingjue demanded urgently.

Xiao s.h.i.+ pointed at the other side of the hill. The hound leapt towards where she looked immediately, while Xiao s.h.i.+ followed.

"Arg! These smells disgusting!" Yen Mingjue complained as they got closer.

On the other side of the hill were huge cages on a cart that has dirty and stinky cloth-covered each one of it. The smell of blood was also so potent that it could make anyone almost gag if not used to it.

There were probably more than ten of these carts aside from the carriages. Most were not appropriately covered. Thus, some part of the cages was showing.

Xiao s.h.i.+ hummed, "These men will surely earn big with all this," She noted. There was no need to look at what was inside the cages.

The sounds of growls and sobs coming from it mean that not only animals were inside. Because of that, she felt so much better to dispose of some of the men.

It was also easy to say for Xiao s.h.i.+ that death was coming near to whoever or whatever was inside the cages.

"What are we going to do? Do we use those as well for the payment just in case?" She asked curiously. Her eyes were still busy looking around the area.

"Hmph! Who do you think I am? Just my name is enough ah!" Yen Mingjue replied. "Make them shu-"

"Found it!" Xiao s.h.i.+ suddenly gleefully yelled that halted whatever he was supposed to say.

The hound's eyes s.h.i.+fted towards Xiao s.h.i.+ immediately, and there saw her holding a palm-size frog with no flesh, just all bones.

"Croak, croak." The sound was coming from it.

Despite the frog not having any stomach, one could still clearly see that something was inside it. On its stomach looked a small piece of a rolled brown paper. 

"Hurry! Open the entrance!" Yen Mingjue commanded in a hurry.

"Yes master!" Xiao s.h.i.+ crushed the frog immediately before taking out the paper.

She unrolled the paper and started reading, "Desire with all your heart and being, opportunities will open when you shout it out…" the first sentence on the paper, "Let us enter!" Xiao s.h.i.+ shouted suddenly at the top of her lungs before she continues reading, "Miraculous possibilities even for the most insignificant. Choosing is the next step, right or wrong. It does not matter. Open with blood." Before she continued, Xiao s.h.i.+ bit her wrist until blood was oozing from it. The blood flew and fell on the ground. As soon as a drop hit the soil, they felt powerful spiritual energy surrounding them. It was almost the same feeling that they got when Justice Affairs opened a portal for them.

Xiao s.h.i.+ suppressed her grin. After releasing a deep breath, she continued loudly, "Walk in the flesh, but only your soul will grant you what you want all along…"

Wooos.h.!.+

Zap!

Just as she finished reading the last word on the paper, the spiritual pressure intensified. It did not take long before a spiral that forms a portal appeared in front of them. On the other side is a forest with dry trees that did not have any leaves.

"Let's go before it disappears!" Yen Mingjue demanded as he runs towards the portal.

As soon as both of them were able to enter, the portal vanished. Yen Mingjue was familiar with the place. Thus he immediately went to the usual path.

The day was still bright in the Immortal Domain, but not on where they were at the moment.

Just like the tall dead trees surrounding them, the atmosphere feels dead. The path is mostly dry leaves, dirt, and stones.

They continued to walk until they reached their destination. In front of them was a house that looked out of place. In front of it was a large bright green neon sign with written words, Love Expert.
