Chapter 145 I didn’t ask him to like me!
There is a different world inside the dragon’s mansion. It looks like a small door from the outside, but once you go inside, you will find an extremely spacious courtyard.
There are more than a dozen rain pavilions built in the courtyard, and groups of people are sitting in the pavilions fiddling with something.
Yuxi was amazed: "This house is so big..."
Yuxi looked at these people curiously and asked Long, "Are these people all mercenaries?"
"These are the elite soldiers raised by my mercenary group." Long nodded.
Then, he looked at Yuxi and Kai and added, "Including you."
"Including us?" Yuxi was puzzled.
"Well, you can be considered elite." Long said affirmatively: "If you can injure Lu Bu, it will be convenient for me to get his blood."
Long said in a commanding tone: "You stay in Jiuxiang for the next two days, and I will arrange bounty missions for you."
"What's the point of getting his blood?" Yuxi pressed on, "What are you planning to do?"
Long was silent, and Diao Chan suddenly spoke up: "Didn't Shadow tell you?"
"Tell us what?" Yuxi was confused.
"Clear..." Diao Chan was about to say something, but Long hurriedly stopped her.
"Let's go inside and talk."
The dragon led them across the spacious courtyard and into the long corridor.
During this journey, Yuxi discovered that Long had been looking at the silent Kai with interest in his eyes.
"Why is he staring at Kai?"
Yuxi was confused. He stared at Long in confusion, not understanding why the leader of the mercenary group was so interested in Kai.
As his gaze turned to Kai, Kai noticed Yuxi's gaze, and gave him a gentle smile, as if his whole body was glowing like light.
"You're still laughing? Don't you know you're being watched?"
Yuxi's brows couldn't help but frown, just when he was feeling inexplicably irritated.
Then Kai approached and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yuxi nodded slightly to Kai and whispered her confusion: "He has been looking at you..."
Kai replied calmly: "He is using his eyes to spy on my strength."
"To spy on your strength?" Yuxi repeated, her voice full of doubt.
"Well," Kai said calmly, "but he doesn't seem to see anything."
"So I just kept looking... and kept looking." Kai's words revealed a hint of joking: "But I still didn't see anything..."
After saying this, Kai glared at Long coldly. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, making Long quickly look away.
Yuxi witnessed all this, and the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously: "This is too funny..."
The two of them did not deliberately lower their voices when talking. Diao Chan, who was standing next to them, heard it and chuckled with her hands covering her face, a playful light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Long Ze seemed a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and quickly found a topic to divert everyone's attention.
Long looked at Kai, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "His code name is Jade Emperor, what is your code name?"
"Destruction Blade." Kai's answer was concise and firm.
"Are all Shadow's high-bounty missions assigned to you?" Long continued to ask.
"Yeah." Kai nodded.
"What task did he give you?" Long asked again.
"Save the person who kidnapped Diao Chan." Kai's voice was flat.
At this time, Diao Chan next to her remained silent, and there was no fluctuation in her eyes.
"How much reward did Shadow offer?" Long's voice was filled with scrutiny.
Kai calmly replied, "3000 gold coins."
"He gave you 3000 gold coins just for this kind of mission?!" Long was obviously shocked by this number. He couldn't even control his emotions: "That loser shadow!"
Kai was silent for a while, then said: "It seems that you don't share the same internal information. Even the mission bounties are different."
Yuxi couldn't help but interrupt when she heard this: "What's going on? We are from the same mercenary group, how could the inside information and bounty be different?"
He looked at Long with a questioning look in his eyes: "Aren't you the boss of the 'Dragon' mercenary group?"
Long explained with a serious expression: "I am indeed the leader of this mercenary group."
"However, Shadow and I have different responsibilities. I am responsible for recruiting people to take on missions, while Shadow is actually my assistant, mainly responsible for assassinations. He is not familiar with how much the mission bounty should be."
"Unfamiliar?"
Yuxi frowned and responded: "Well, as the leader, you are quite stingy."
Long remained silent, and then Yuxi added: "If he hadn't taken on this mission today, the others would have surely died."
After saying that, Yuxi stopped, reached out and took Kai's hand, pulling him to her side.
Kai was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and held his hand tightly with his backhand.
Yuxi yawned, feeling exhausted physically and mentally: "Let's go back to the mercenary group to hand in the mission. I'm a little tired and want to go to bed."
"Okay." Kai responded simply.
"It doesn't matter whether you want a receipt for the token or not." Yuxi continued, "Anyway, the shadow who gave us the mission was easy to talk to."
"Well, let's go back and rest." Kai said, preparing to leave with Yuxi.
However, just as they were about to leave, a dragon suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.
"Wait a minute..."
Long said in a deep voice: "I said I can also assign tasks for you."
"I don't want to take your mission." Yuxi refused bluntly, trying to bypass Long.
Long stretched out his hand and stubbornly stopped them from leaving, with a firm attitude.
"Step aside."
Kai's voice was cold, he was displeased with Long's behavior.
"Don't you just want a high reward?"
Long tried to tempt them, with a hint of negotiation in his voice: "Don't worry, the missions I post all start at 10,000 gold."
Long used a negotiating tone and was about to pat Yuxi's shoulder in an attempt to further persuade them.
"Don't touch it!"
Kai suddenly shouted, raised his hand, slightly pulled back his elbow, and slapped Long's arm as fast as lightning.
The dragon's body involuntarily retreated and hit the pillar heavily, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
The sudden palm force made Long's eyes go dark with pain. He didn't expect Kai to attack suddenly and with such strong force.
Long covered his injured arm and stared at Kai angrily: "You... are so brave!"
Everything happened so quickly that Yuxi was unable to react for a moment.
When Long stared at Kai angrily, Yuxi was shocked and wondered in confusion: "Why did he do that..."
"This guy is the leader. The mission was in vain..."
Afterwards, Yu Ting's mercenaries saw Long being injured by Kai, and they rushed over, forming a circle around them with various weapons in their hands.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Looking for death..." Kai said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to take action.
Although Long gritted his teeth at this time, he seemed to realize something and did not dare to take any further action.
"Brother, calm down!"
Yuxi quickly dissuaded him and calmed Kai down.
"What do you want to do?"
Afterwards, Yuxi turned to the Dragons and tried to calm the situation, saying, "We are also from the Dragon Mercenaries, we are all family!"
Long seemed to think that this couldn't go on any longer, and shouted at Yu Ting's mercenaries to retreat: "All of you retreat!"
"Yes."
Afterwards, Long winked at Diao Chan, who smiled and waved her sleeves.
The corridor was suddenly filled with fragrance and flower petals fluttering in the air.
"It's indeed one of ours."
Diao Chan smiled sweetly: "There is no need to do that."
Diao Chan said this and smiled at Yuxi, a smile that was so beautiful that it could captivate the whole country.
Yuxi didn't feel anything at first, but the next moment she felt her head exploding and her nose getting hot.
"What's wrong with me?!" He reached under his nose and felt something wet.
"Why is your nose bleeding?" Yuxi was still a little confused.
Seeing this, Kai immediately took out a hairband from his arms and covered his nose with it.
Kai quickly reminded: "Heal yourself!"
"treat."
Yuxi obeyed subconsciously, and only at this moment realized that she had been poisoned.
"Is it because I looked at her that my nose bled..." Yuxi was secretly embarrassed: "This is too embarrassing!"
Although the nosebleed has stopped, my head still hurts and my joints still feel numb.
"This cannot be treated with medicine." Diao Chan's voice sounded in his ears.
"You have been poisoned by me." Diao Chan said with certainty.
Yuxi was shocked: "Poisoned?"
Kai found it a little unbelievable that the person right under his nose had been poisoned.
"When did you poison me?" Qian asked angrily.
Diao Chan helped them recall the past with malicious intent.
"It's indecent~"
She whispered softly, "It was just physical contact. I don't feel insulted."
"The time I kissed you?"
Yuxi recalled that moment: "Is there poison on your face?"
"Well, it was only marked as poison before. The fragrant wind will trigger the poison to attack."
Diao Chan explained: "Now, if there is no antidote in three days, you will definitely die."
"Death is inevitable? My purification is not for free..."
Yuxi thought to himself, but he decided to take advantage of the situation and did not use [Purification]. He held his nose and pretended to be weak.
Kai supported him, but couldn't bear it anymore. He glared at Diao Chan and Long and growled, "Hand over the antidote! Otherwise I will kill you all..."
"I do what I say!"
"Brother, don't worry..." Yuxi comforted Kai, even though she looked a little unwell now: "There are three days."
Yuxi wanted to continue to comfort him, but she saw that his eyes were red and filled with tears.
"Why are you...about to cry?"
"Don't scare me..." Yuxi tried to make the atmosphere more relaxed and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't die! I have treatment."
"Can treatment detoxify?" Kai asked anxiously.
"No, but..." Before Yuxi could finish his words, Long interrupted him.
"As long as you complete my task, the antidote will be given to you." Long put forward the conditions.
Yuxi quietly squeezed Kai's hand, signaling him to relax.
Long opened the door at the end of the corridor and several people entered the room.
"Tell me, what's the mission?" Yuxi asked.
"I want you to kill Lu Bu." Long's voice was cold.
"Why kill Lu Bu?!" Yu Xi was shocked.
Long simply replied, "Because he deserves to die."
Yuxi looked at the pink figure and wondered in her heart: "Diao Chan... Lu Bu likes you so much... Do you also want him to die?"
"whee……"
Diao Chan giggled and answered casually: "He likes me?"
"I didn't make him like me."
