Mu Li

Xiao Yi Xian was immediately angered by his words. After all, Xiao Yang could be considered her lifesaver.

And now, Mu Li actually wanted to snatch his things by force!

She stepped in front of Xiao Yang, shielding him behind her.

"If someone has valuable things in their Storage Ring, do they all belong to you?"

"Do all of those count as treasures from the stone chamber?"

"Forget whether they do or not—even if he found treasures in the stone chamber, why should he give them to you?"

At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian looked at Mu Li with a hint of disgust.

She had not expected Mu Li to be this kind of person, even more of a bandit than bandits themselves.

In the past, because Mu Li had been pursuing Xiao Yi Xian, he had always disguised himself very well in front of her.

Only now did Xiao Yi Xian see Mu Li's true face.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian shield Xiao Yang behind her, then looking at Xiao Yang's handsome face, the fury in Mu Li's heart burned uncontrollably.

The way he looked at Xiao Yang now carried a trace of killing intent.

"Pretty boy, hand over the Storage Ring, and I can still spare your life."

"Otherwise, get ready to die here and become magical beast dung!"

After saying that, Mu Li turned to Xiao Yi Xian again.

"Xiao Yi Xian, I advise you not to interfere in this matter."

"This is between me and that pretty boy."

"If you come to my side now, then after I inherit the position of mercenary group leader, you can become the leader's wife."

Hearing Mu Li's words, Xiao Yi Xian's gaze toward him became even more disgusted.

She only found Mu Li utterly revolting now.

Seeing the disdain and disgust in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, Mu Li became even angrier.

Xiao Yang ignored Mu Li. He was currently buying two Experience Doubling Cards and Points Doubling Cards.

The people before him were all Dou Zhe. Although there was no bonus for killing enemies above his level, using Multiplier Cards would still earn him a profit.

Even mosquito meat was still meat.

However, at that moment, a mission suddenly appeared before Xiao Yang.

[Side Mission—Evil Mercenary: Mu Li, the young leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, wants to seize your treasure and woman. Kill Mu Li and all the mercenaries he brought with him.

Reward: Universal Experience +10000, Shop Points +100000.]

Although the mission rewards were somewhat meager, they were free, so Xiao Yang casually accepted it.

Then, he used the Multiplier Cards.

After doing all that, Xiao Yang slowly moved Xiao Yi Xian aside.

Xiao Yi Xian, who had been about to speak, was stunned when she felt Xiao Yang's movement.

The next moment, she saw a black shadow flash past her and shoot toward Mu Li and the others.

At the same time, she could feel a gust of wind pass by her.

Then, Xiao Yang instantly appeared beside Mu Li and the others.

Not only that, a pair of violet-black wings had appeared behind his back!

Xiao Yang threw a punch at one of the mercenaries.

"Boom!"

"Ah!"

The mercenary was instantly blasted into a nearby tree. After a scream, he fell completely silent.

Xiao Yang was extremely fast. He immediately threw another punch at a different mercenary.

That mercenary met the same fate.

Only then did Mu Li react.

Seeing the two mercenaries instantly killed, Mu Li's heart trembled.

His legs went weak, and his mind was somewhat blank.

Very quickly, Xiao Yang took out two more.

By then, the remaining mercenaries had finally reacted.

They had no intention of resisting at all. They only wanted to run as quickly as possible.

They all wished their parents had given them two extra legs.

They completely ignored Mu Li, who had collapsed limply where he stood, and only cared about escaping themselves.

However, with the Violet Cloud Wings, Xiao Yang was so fast that they could not even see him clearly.

None of them could escape. They were all instantly killed by Xiao Yang.

Soon, only Mu Li, Xiao Yi Xian, and Xiao Yang remained.

Mu Li had finally come to his senses. His eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Xiao Yang.

"Y-you... don't come any closer!"

"I was wrong! I was only joking just now!"

"Treasure—I know the locations of many treasures! I'm the young leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group!"

"I can give you however much money you want!"

The formerly arrogant Mu Li was now constantly kowtowing to Xiao Yang.

His lower body was already soaked.

Xiao Yang looked indifferently at the groveling Mu Li and instantly arrived before him.

He poured Dou Qi into his leg, and a ring of Dou Qi flames wrapped around it.

The next moment, Xiao Yang directly kicked Mu Li in the temple.

Although Xiao Yang had not used a Dou Technique, the flames condensed through the Flame Manipulation Art made that kick terrifyingly powerful.

Not to mention that it had struck Mu Li's completely unguarded temple.

Mu Li could not even let out a scream before dying instantly.

At that moment, the system also issued a notification that the mission had been completed.

Xiao Yang casually claimed the mission rewards, too lazy to even glance at Mu Li.

Xiao Yi Xian stared wide-eyed at the scene before her. She had not expected Xiao Yang to be this powerful.

Xiao Yang killed Dou Zhe-level mercenaries as easily as slaughtering chickens!

However, as she looked at Mu Li and the others' corpses, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly realized something.

Mu Li's death would very likely implicate her!

After all, Xiao Yi Xian had heard of Mu She's reputation.

Mu She was the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group and Mu Li's father.

He doted greatly on Mu Li, his only son.

Now that Mu Li was dead, Mu She definitely would not let this go.

Mu Li had come out with their herb-gathering team this time.

When the time came, Mu She would definitely vent his anger on Xiao Yi Xian.

Moreover, if he learned that Mu Li and the others had met with trouble only because they had followed her out here, she would definitely die a miserable death.

At that thought, Xiao Yi Xian's expression immediately turned rather unpleasant.

She did not blame Xiao Yang. After all, this incident had begun because of her.

But Xiao Yi Xian seemed to have no one she could rely on now except Xiao Yang.

After all, she had just witnessed how terrifying Xiao Yang's strength was.

Looking at Xiao Yang untangling the ropes in the distance, Xiao Yi Xian hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and speaking.

"Um, now that Mu Li has died here, his father Mu She will definitely vent his anger on me."

"So, can I hire you to protect me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Yi Xian with interest.

He suddenly realized that what he had done seemed to have caused quite a significant butterfly effect.

Having read the original story, he knew what kind of person Mu She was. If Xiao Yi Xian went back like this, she would certainly die.

Not only that, even if Xiao Yi Xian ran away and survived by luck, without meeting Xiao Yan, she would still certainly die.

When the Calamity Poison Body erupted, who knew how many regions would be affected.

Because of what he had done, Xiao Yi Xian's fate would most likely differ from the original story, and she would simply perish in her prime.

Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's pitiful appearance and her slender waist that could be encircled with one hand, Xiao Yang could not help feeling it would be a pity.

He was not a good person, but he was lustful!

Just as he thought this, a chain side mission suddenly appeared before him.
