Yun Jian swallowed.
Johnny’s appearance was a surprise and she had not planned to kill him. She was even thinking about recruiting him to Gu Sha Mercenaries. After all, Gu Sha Mercenaries would definitely double in capabilities if someone like Johnny could join!
It was undeniable that since the subordinates of Gu Sha Mercenaries’ previous boss, the bunch of older folks, were wiped out, their forces were also dissolved. The aftermath of this was that it took quite some time for Gu Sha Mercenaries to recover in terms of capacity.
That was why Yun Jian’s favorite thing to do right now was to recruit talents to Gu Sha Mercenaries.
It was just that with what Si Yi had interrupted… A hand appeared on Yun Jian’s slim waist while she thought of it.
Si Yi pulled Yun Jian into his arms with a large palm. As he stayed closed to her, his deep voice came from above her. “Xiao Jian, what are you thinking about?”
“Why did you kill him?” Yun Jian asked with a frown.
Si Yi glowered at the question. “Isn’t that a good thing?”
“I wanted to recruit him to join Gu Sha Mercenaries,” Yun Jian told him her intention.
“Xiao Jian, the whole An Hun Group is yours and I’m yours too as long as you stick by my side.” Unable to help himself, Si Yi hummed in a low tone right next to Yun Jian’s ear.
The conversation was, of course, spoken discreetly between the two of them. The others saw nothing other than Si Yi killing Johnny then going close to Yun Jian.
What Si Yi said made Yun Jian blush. She gave him a nudge and recalled the matter at hand. “Where’s Berserk Dragon?”
“Over there.” Si Yi pointed; he would never dare defy his beloved and not bring Berserk Dragon with him.
Yun Jian turned to see Berserk Dragon walking over leisurely from the side. She could also obviously see how Mu Ying froze slightly when she saw him from afar.
Mu Ying had been only about nine years old when she died. Berserk Dragon was equally young back then.
One’s face would change with age, but there would not be much changes to one’s features. That was why certain people could easily recognize the photos of someone when they were much younger.
The moment Mu Ying saw Berserk Dragon, she froze and gaped. She suddenly remembered that she was no longer who she used to be; she did not even have her own body now, she was only a stream of consciousness—the consciousness that the crazy professor had transferred to this girl’s body!
She was like a living dead! How could she… meet him again?
Leng Hanzhe caught Mu Ying’s change of expression when she looked at Berserk Dragon and he was deeply unsettled.
“Yingying…” Leng Hanzhe kept his eyes on Mu Ying and was going up to hold her when the latter ran toward the deeper part of the jungle without letting him touch her.
Berserk Dragon who was farther away sensed Mu Ying’s gaze and abruptly reeled in his lazy state. There was a vague sense of familiarity when he caught a glimpse of her.
Yun Jian knew that Berserk Dragon and Mu Ying had feelings for each other when they were in the organization. When Mu Ying died, Berserk Dragon killed their peers who had lured him out and kept him from rushing back to save her.
He had never gotten close to any woman up till this day—none. Since Mu Ying’s death, all that was left in Berserk Dragon’s world was killing, killing, and more killing.
He could only numb himself by killing.
Yun Jian went up to Berserk Dragon and gestured at Mu Ying who ran off. “You still remember MY?”
She did not say it explicitly but realization struck Berserk Dragon and he sprinted to chase after Mu Ying…
…
Mu Ying ran fast. Her abilities remained how she had been at nine years old but she did not give up training after the crazy professor extracted her consciousness and put it into this body.
Despite that, she knew that she was not a complete person now and she did not deserve to see Berserk Dragon. She did not even… have her own body!
Mu Ying ran faster and faster that she did not even notice the vine on the ground. When she tripped and fell, she did not feel the pain as she sat on the ground with tears streaming down her face soundlessly.
She did not know what she was crying for either.
“My silly girl, I’ve been looking for you for over a decade and you’re still as silly as you’ve been.”
A soft voice of a guy came from behind her.
Mu Ying froze. She could recognize that voice anywhere but she dared not turn around.
The owner of the voice crouched and hugged her from the back, pulling her up from the ground and into his embrace.
Mu Ying froze and wanted to struggle but the man hugging her from the back stopped her, saying. “Stop moving, let me hug you.”
