Beasts are instinctively afraid of fire and the Magic Horses panicked . They screamed and trampled everywhere, throwing the Yellow Rats off their backs . They ran wildly .  

The Yellow Rats fell into disorder, chasing horses and screaming at them . They soon made way .  

The muscleman was quick to react and immediately shouted when he saw a path, “Brothers, charge!”

A group of mercenaries whipped their horses and drove past the Yellow Rats, laughing out loud the whole way .  

Mu He glared at Lu s.h.i.+qian’s fading back, so angry he almost broke his yellow teeth!

Closer and closer, clearer and clearer, they saw a vast virgin forest looming in front of them . It covered tens of thousands of miles; its lush trees stretching towards the sky trying to touch it . As soon as they entered, a wave of fresh air swept over them, making them feel lighter . The forest was wors.h.i.+pped by the local people . They relied on the forest to survive, so they never did anything that was bad for it . The forest also gave back to the people of the East Wind County by providing peace and quiet . Very few magic beasts appeared . Mysterious species were said to live within the Virgin Forest . They were said to glow and s.h.i.+ne, beautiful without compare .  

The East Wind County lied on the edge of the Virgin Forest .  

The entire forest and city were filled with the lively essence of nature .

Sure enough, they lived in harmony with the forest . The city itself was covered in greenery: the city walls were made out of giant trees, the city streets littered with trees . Every family grew colorful flowers and plants . It was colorful and vibrant as well as fragrant! This city could be called the City of Flowers! Walking through such a beautiful city, the heart grew lighter and more relaxed .  

There were many people coming and going from the city at the moment . Many of them were mercenaries and also some family soldiers . There were even some soldiers from the national army! Of course, there were also famed adventurers and hidden masters .  

They were all recruited by the East Wind County to fight against the beastmen!

“Are the warriors in front from the famed Crimson Wolf Mercenary Group?” a young and energetic voice shouted in surprise, “Welcome, welcome! We’ve been waiting for you all!”

A handsome man with flaxen hair wearing blue leather armor walked towards them . His charismatic smile gave others good feelings .  

His name was Feng Qing, the son of the county governor of the East Wind County . He was 20 years old this year and a Rank 5 pract.i.tioner .  

Surprise flashed across his eyes as he glanced across the crowd and spotted Lu s.h.i.+qian .  

“Everyone, please follow me! I have already prepared lodgings for the brave mercenaries!” Feng Qing ordered a subordinate to lead and walked to Lu s.h.i.+qian . He smiled and greeted, “Beautiful and lovely young lady, I am happy to meet you . ”

The East Wind County was simple and unconventional . Men can boldly pursue women they are interested in .  

Feng Qing looked at Lu s.h.i.+qian . He thought her hair was beautiful like a black rose; her eyes pretty as the stars; lips charming like pink peaches . She was like the G.o.ddess of his dreams! His heart that was calm for 20 years began beating faster .  

Lu s.h.i.+qian smiled slightly . The tall young man next to her had fresh breath . She was not annoyed by him .  

This smile caused Feng Qing’s heart to shake . He smiled even more brilliantly and extended a hand, “Beautiful young lady, I am honored to fight beside you!”

The Death G.o.d studied Lu s.h.i.+qian from far away . The last few days, he had followed his master from a distance . His eyes grew more and more intense, his gaze upon her lasting longer and longer . He didn’t understand what was happening to him . And now, a young man was extending his right hand to her while his heart pounded in his chest . This fast heartbeat seemed to be accompanied by a certain emotion . He seemed to have the same feeling as the man when he looks at his master .  

Master, Master’s face, Master’s… chest . A current pa.s.sed through the Death G.o.d once again . This poor child was electrocuted and fell from the sky . Thankfully, no one noticed . Otherwise, people would think a large, black meteor fell from the sky .  

Lu s.h.i.+qian placed her hand in the young man’s hand . It was basic etiquette .

Feng Qing smiled so brightly it blinded the nearby people .  

The girls on the streets saw his smile and nearly swooned . To them, Feng Qing was their prince charming .  

Even though Feng Qing was young, he was very good at governing the East Wind County and was supported by its denizens . He was young and handsome, the dream man of young girls’ dreams .  

And men were throwing flirtatious glances at Lu s.h.i.+qian .  

Lu s.h.i.+qian had long, black hair and a charismatic temperament . She naturally won the hearts of men easily .  

A group of people walked down the streets, but suddenly saw the people in front of them parting to the sides . The wide open street made the man’s inhalation and woman’s scream all the more clear .  

The man’s inhale was due to the other man’s golden staff while the woman’s scream was due to the sun-like appearance of the dazzling young man .

There were over a hundred people dressed in white ahead of them .  

Lu s.h.i.+qian recalled a certain person from a few days ago and frowned . She didn’t expect to meet him again . The world sure was small!

The young man seemed to also spot Lu s.h.i.+qian and the smile on his handsome face grew wider . He seemed intent on blinding everyone present: “Ren Woxing, we meet again!” He saw Feng Qing holding Lu s.h.i.+qian’s hand and his eyes grew darker, but the smile on his face didn’t change . “It seems my G.o.d’s blessing is quite miraculous! You seem even more beautiful than before!” It seemed to be unintentional, but his eyes kept focusing on their held hands .  

This person was the Son of Light Shuang Ruyue . He was originally on a mission to kill Lu s.h.i.+qian, but the Pope suddenly sent him a message ordering him to take 3 Bishops, 2 Knights, and 100 regular troops to the East Wind County . He was an intelligent person and naturally understood the intentions of the Pope in bringing so many elites with him . But he didn’t pay any attention to it . He quickly rushed over because he knew Lu s.h.i.+qian was also coming here .

Feng Qing didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt a huge pressure pressing down upon him . He looked at Shuang Ruyue and couldn’t help but inhale in surprise . This man was sure extraordinary! After seeing the golden scepter in his hands, he immediately kneeled in ceremony, “Welcome to the Son of Light! It is a privilege to meet you!” He naturally let go of Lu s.h.i.+qian’s hand as he knelt, and the strange pressure also disappeared .
