Long Xueyao was standing on the stone step, looking down at the battles below. Since she was in a favorable position, she saw the whole battle between Shen Yanxiao and the two higher demons. Everything she had seen made her secretly awestruck.
Obviously it was such a delicate young boy, but unexpectedly, he could easily deal with two higher demons at the same time!
Watching as Shen Yanxiao leisurely walked through the demons and humans, and went below the boulder, Long Xueyao’s heart that had been suspended in the air was finally put down.
Shen Yanxiao lazily arrived under the boulder and looked up at Long Xueyao who was standing on the stone step.
She impressively raised her arms and shouted at Long Xueyao above, "Jump off."
"What?" Long Xueyao looked at Shen Yanxiao in surprise.
Shen Yanxiao frowned a little. She was too lazy to climb up to carry this girl down, but she somewhat had tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex and she thought that it was not appropriate to have the little beauty be blown by the cold wind.
Gu Feng, who had been standing on one side all this time, had recovered his senses. He looked at Shen Yanxiao and immediately walked over before he said, "What are you doing?! The demons haven't gone yet, how can you let Yao Yao get down!"
Shen Yanxiao scornfully glanced at the noisy Gu Feng at the corner of her eyes, before she quickly said to Long Xueyao, "The demons retreated."
"Retreated? Is your brain sick? How could they..." Gu Feng was about to scold when he turned around to see that in the battlefield the demons, who had been stuck with the mercenaries, suddenly began to retreat and gradually went away from the crowd.
"This... what's going on..." Gu Feng was completely dumbfounded.
Shen Yanxiao was too lazy to pay attention to him. She looked up at Long Xueyao with some impatience.
"Hey, if you won't jump down, I'll go." Her tender and protective feelings also had time limit.
When Shen Yanxiao’s words were delivered, she caught a glimpse of a shadow jumping down from the stone step. The next second, Long Xueyao fell steadily in Shen Yanxiao’s arms.
Falling down from such a height, the impact could be imagined, but fortunately, Shen Yanxiao had long been prepared and had poured dou qi on her arms, so that they would not break.
But…
The feeling was not too good.
Shen Yanxiao had always been very careful. She noticed that in this team of mercenaries, only Long Xueyao was a woman. She was too lazy to climb up again and she did not expect others to have the ability to go up on there. But if she let the other mercenaries catch Long Xueyao, she feared that Long Xueyao’s maiden reputation would be affected. On the other hand, she herself was a woman, so naturally it didn’t matter.
However, Shen Yanxiao did not realize that her current getup was not that of the girl who was capable of causing the downfall of a city; instead, she was a young boy with an ordinary face...
Long Xueyao fell in the arms of Shen Yanxiao, her heart slightly jumped.
Thinking of the scene when Shen Yanxiao dealt with the two higher demons, and then looking at the juvenile’s up-close face, the girl's heart was thumping and jumping.
Shen Yanxiao didn't notice anything and only thought that the mission was now completed. She had already swayed the two higher demons into going under her hands. She put Long Xueyao down and left.
"Little brother, please wait!" A voice called out suddenly.
Shen Yanxiao turned to look at the person and saw the battered and exhausted figure of Fang Qiu coming over with the support of few other mercenaries.
"Little brother, thank you for your help. If not for your generous act, I'm afraid that we would all be buried here today." Fang Qiu looked gratefully at Shen Yanxiao. When the demons suddenly retreated before, he was quite baffled. The demons obviously wanted to eradicate them completely. So why did they retreat all of a sudden?
