Heading to the Wilderness Area

The butterfly effect has finally begun to take hold; I just wonder what it will evolve into as time goes on...

Hen Ren took off the consciousness-sensing helmet, opened the Gravity Chamber to set it outside, and then returned to the Gravity Chamber.

But what does that have to do with me right now? There is still one month left, so I should continue to cultivate properly.

However, my main body can move around a bit...

On the other side...

By the time the meeting at the War God Palace concluded, Xu Ai and the others had already finished eating.

"Sister Qingling~"

Xu Ai had just called out when—smack!—a palm landed hard on her backside.

"Call me Aunt!"

Liu Ting glared at Xu Ai. This girl was trying to push her luck and climb the family tree!

She hadn't even considered that perhaps Xu Ai was trying to demote her generation...

"Tch, Sister Qingling is so young, how could I call her Aunt?"

Seeing that Liu Ting was about to lose her temper, Xu Ai quickly dodged behind Liu Qingling.

"Alright, just say what you need to say."

Liu Qingling actually had a very good impression of her best friend's niece.

If nothing else, that "sister" sounded quite nice... ahem...

It should be noted that she and Xu Yan were best friends, and her niece Liu Ting and Xu Yan's niece Xu Ai were also best friends; it was truly a fated connection!

"Sister Qingling, I heard you say earlier that your squad is going to City 0551 this month?"

"That's right, why?"

Going to City 0551 to hunt was something the higher-ups had specifically called down to encourage just a moment ago.

It wasn't a big deal, so Liu Qingling naturally had no reason to hide it.

"Take me with you, let me go to the wilderness area to gain some experience too."

"...It's not impossible."

After thinking it over carefully, Liu Qingling agreed.

The Extreme Martial Arts Hall had no rules against bringing newcomers from other organizations, so as long as her squad agreed, taking Xu Ai to the wilderness area for training was no big deal.

Besides, with Xu Ai backed by the Xu Family and Hen Ren, Liu Qingling's squad would certainly give her face!

"Great, Sister Qingling, when are we leaving?"

"In two days..."

Liu Qingling looked behind Xu Ai with a strange expression.

"I suggest you pay attention..."

SMACK!!!

Liu Ting slapped Xu Ai on the head, then grabbed her by the back of her collar and dragged her away!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye...

Early morning...

The faint light of dawn fell upon the dark curtains, casting a dim glow into the room.

Xu Ai opened her hazy eyes and couldn't help but look over, seeing a beauty with long brown hair lying quietly beside her.

Her features were three or four parts similar to Liu Ting's, though her appearance and temperament were more mature.

Oh, it's Sister Qingling, that's fine then.

Xu Ai peeled her hand off, and as her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Liu Qingling's chest, a trace of sympathy couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

Given that Liu Qingling's scale was only slightly larger than Liu Ting's, it was certain that Liu Ting's family had a penchant for building airports!

Seeing as you are all so pitiful, I will forgive you.

Xu Ai looked at Liu Ting with pity once more, then let out a silent yawn and was just about to get up to stretch.

Please provide the text you would like me to translate or revise. I am ready to process it according to your instructions.

This was going too far; I didn't expect you two to get addicted to this!

Xu Ai suppressed the urge to beat their backsides and peeled their hands off again, then quickly got up.

Sure enough, both hands crawled back over, feeling around the spot where Xu Ai had been, but finding nothing, they slowly retracted.

Liu Qingling was fine; she pulled her hand back and didn't move much, but Liu Ting was excessive.

Xu Ai watched speechlessly as she reached her devilish hand toward Xu Xin on the other side, silently weaving a green hat for Luo Feng.

Xu Xin was not as "kind" as Xu Ai, and she slapped the hand away immediately.

'Slap!!!'

Liu Ting felt a sting in her hand and immediately pulled it back, then slowly opened her eyes.

"Ha~~ Was I dreaming? Why does it feel like I got slapped?"

"Uh..." Well, she certainly did...

Xu Ai rolled her eyes at her. If she kept acting like this, she would be beaten to a pulp by Luo Feng sooner or later. How dare she grope his wife!?

One had to know that even Luo Feng hadn't touched her like that. If he found out that his wife's first touch had been snatched away by Liu Ting, then Liu Ting would be dead for sure.

Uh, wait a second. My sister's first touch belongs to me! So...

Pfft, would Luo Feng even dare to protest? I can touch my sister however I want! I've even slept with her more than once!

"What time is it?"

Perhaps because Xu Ai and Liu Ting had woken up, Xu Xin and Liu Qingling woke up one after another as well.

"Six o'clock. You guys can sleep a little longer."

Xu Ai didn't plan on sleeping anymore; she was afraid her innocence wouldn't remain intact if she kept sleeping. Although, as far as Liu Ting and the others were concerned, she didn't seem to have much innocence left anyway...

"Time to get up, time to get up."

Xu Xin raised both hands and stretched, her sexy, wrinkled nightgown instantly stretched to its limit.

Seeing this, Xu Ai nodded with satisfaction. Although it still didn't compare to her own, compared to two months ago, Xu Xin was now significantly fuller.

Xu Ai felt that Luo Feng should thank her; this was definitely her doing, in every sense of the word!

Ahem... alright, it was just because she had previously encouraged Xu Xin to practice yoga diligently!

Under Xu Xin's urging, everyone got up one after another.

As the mistress of the house, Xu Xin finished washing up first and went to prepare breakfast. After that, it was the turn of the beautiful aunt, Liu Qingling, and finally, it was Xu Ai and Liu Ting's turn.

Yes, that's right, Liu Ting insisted on squeezing into the bathroom with Xu Ai...

'Ding-dong!'

"Uh..."

The group had just sat down at the dining table when, unexpectedly, the doorbell rang.

Coming over so early, Xu Ai could guess who it was even with her butt!

Xu Xin gave Xu Ai a look, then took out another set of bowls and chopsticks.

Xu Ai opened the door, and sure enough, her big brother was standing at the entrance.

Hm? Why is there another person?

Xu Ai looked closely behind Xu Gang and saw a young man who looked five or six parts similar to Xu Gang smiling and greeting her.

"Xiao Ai, long time no see."

"Second brother, why are you back?"

This was naturally the son of Xu Ai's second uncle, Xu Lie.

Xu Lie patted Xu Gang, signaling him to step aside, and only then did Xu Ai see his right arm, which was wrapped in a plaster cast.

"It's just a minor injury. Plus, I heard our family's little genius is going to the Wilderness, so I applied to my superior for a period of home recovery."

"That's why I'm telling you to be extra careful. You can't let your guard down, even in the military."

Xu Ai rolled her eyes at Xu Lie.

The Huaxia military had the best equipment, and their operations were extremely cautious. Not to mention beast tides, when hunting in the Wilderness, the Huaxia military had the lowest casualty rate.

But there were still casualties!

He had only been gone for two days and already got injured; he was reckless enough.

"Sister, prepare another set of bowls and chopsticks. Big brother and second brother are here."

Xu Xin walked out, looking a bit surprised, and happened to see Xu Lie waving at her from behind Xu Ai.

"Second brother? Why are you back?"

As expected of sisters, they asked the exact same question.

Hearing this, Xu Lie couldn't help but laugh. He gestured to his arm, which was blocked by Xu Ai, and explained it again.

"So you have a broken arm and you're still running around instead of resting properly?"

Xu Xin rolled her eyes at him and told them to hurry inside.

"I've just finished preparing breakfast, let's eat together."

"Sure, it's been a long time since I've had food made by Xiao Xin."

Xu Gang and Xu Lie both happily pulled out chairs and sat down. Even though they had already eaten, they insisted on finishing several bowls of porridge and a few steamed buns.

From these actions, one could tell just how much of a sister-con they were.

After finishing breakfast, everyone sat on the sofa to rest and chat, while Liu Qingling made a few phone calls to assemble her squad.

The team Xu Ai was joining for her trip to the Wilderness was none other than Liu Qingling's squad.

"So, you're Liu Qingling."

Xu Lie glanced at Liu Qingling with some surprise. Liu Qingling nodded at Xu Lie while continuing to talk on her phone.

"Otherwise, why do you think I didn't bother arranging a team for Xiao Ai? With Sister Liu's Willow Leaf Squad, there was naturally no need for me to interfere."

Xu Gang said with a smile, and Xu Lie nodded repeatedly as he listened.

The Willow Leaf Squad was led by Liu Qingling and Ye Yu. Both were Advanced Warlord-level fighters, extremely close to the Warlord-God level, and were also great beauties. Furthermore, since all members of the Willow Leaf Squad were women, they were quite famous among the martial artist squads in Jiangnan Base City.

Because both leaders were skilled in using willow-leaf blades and most of the other members also used blades, some people jokingly referred to the Willow Leaf Squad as the Willow Blade Squad.

Of course, because the team members were all beautiful women, many male martial artists privately called them the Harem Squad.

The Willow Leaf Squad had been established for over a decade, consisted entirely of women, and had mentored quite a few rookie martial artists.

Perhaps because women tended to be more meticulous and cautious, they were always careful and averse to taking risks when operating in the Wilderness. As a result, the casualty rate for the rookies they trained was very low, which was the reason Xu Gang felt at ease entrusting Xu Ai to them.

After notifying the entire squad, Liu Qingling hung up the phone and looked at Xu Ai.

"They've all set off. Xiao Ai, grab your gear, and let's head to the assembly point."

"You got it."

Xu Ai stood up, and at the same time, Xu Xin rose as well.

"I might as well catch a ride."

Although Xu Xin had become a martial artist, going to the Wilderness was out of the question. Xu Ai also disagreed with her going to the Wilderness, telling her to train properly for two months instead.

The Xu Family naturally had no objections, but Xu Xin didn't want to train and couldn't sit still, so she had her father, Xu Qing, arrange for her to work at their family's HR Mall.

Since squad assemblies usually took place at the HR Alliance Mall, Xu Xin could conveniently hitch a ride with Xu Ai and the others.

Xu Ai returned to her room, changed into light clothing, and then brought out two large cases. These cases contained the equipment for both her and Liu Qingling.

After a while, Xu Xin walked out of her room. Dressed in a white shirt, black suit trousers, and wearing delicate, light makeup, the gentle beauty instantly transformed into a powerful career woman.

"We'll be heading out now."

Liu Qingling greeted everyone as she prepared to leave with Xu Ai and Xu Xin.

"Stay safe."

"The Wilderness is nothing like the Base City, Xiao Ai, you must be extra careful."

"Sister Qingling, please take good care of our Xiao Ai."

Under the gaze of the others, the three of them got into a military off-road vehicle.

"Don't worry, we'll come back safely."

Xu Ai waved goodbye with a smile as the car slowly drove away.
