It was impossible for outsiders to comprehend his relationship with Little Jiu.
From the moment he opened his eyes and saw the thin figure in front of him, facing the wolves all by herself and protecting him, he secretly vowed in his heart that he would protect her in this life even at the expense of his own life. No matter what she did in the future, whether she was affirmed by the secular world or not, he would always stand by her side.
Even though Feng Jiu was not his blood relative, she was more like his relatives than those relatives by blood.
As he recalled the things she stuffed him in the space that could protect and save his life, his face couldn’t help showing a touch of gentleness. Others said that his sister was really lucky to have him as a brother, but he always thought that he had the good fortune to have Little Jiu as his sister.
Meanwhile, at that side, the Fierce Tigers Mercenary Group’s leader came to Zhuo Junyue and saluted him with cupped fists. “Young Master, we meet again.”
His gaze moved behind the man and saw the figure of an old man and a young man resting at the foot of the mountain not far away. Seeing this, he smiled.
“Mm.” Zhuo Junyue nodded his head slightly without talking to him much.
“Our team is resting at the front. There are only the three of you. Young Master, Immortal Lord and that little Young Master. Do you want to sit down together? When we came here, we caught some game. We can share some with the Immortal Lord and Young Masters.” The leader offered with a smile. He thought that they might not have much to eat here. It just happened that they caught some game and could share it with them.
“No, thank you.” Zhuo Junyue answered, his voice was indifferent and his face expressionless.
Seeing this, the mercenary leader smiled. “Well, if you need anything, you can come to us. We will rest here these days.” With that, he saluted and glanced at the two people who were still asleep, then smiled and left.
Feng Jiu, half asleep, vaguely heard their conversation. But, thinking that Zhuo Junyue was watching, she took a rest without a worry and soon fell asleep.
As soon as Zhuo Junyue came back, he saw that the old man was so drunk and snored loudly. Few could fall asleep amidst the thunderous snore.
He shook his head and sat cross-legged near them. His eyes were closed, but still conscious of what was happening around him.
About 500 meters away from them, the mercenary team was roasting the game. They were discussing when to go up the mountain again to look for the Volcanic Flare Stones.
As the sky was getting dark and the smell of roasted meat gradually spread, not only the sleeping Feng Jiu smelled the meat but also the teams in front of the mountain.
Several of those men came after smelling the meat. But, when they saw that it was the mercenary team, they did not come any closer but took a detour. After seeing the trio possessing unfathomable strengths, they had to quietly withdraw from the area.
The people here were not easy to mess with. They didn’t dare stay in the same place with them. If they were inattentive, they would be killed any time without even noticing.
As a result, the two siblings Guan Xilin and Feng Jiu were both in the same Volcano Forest and at the foot of the mountain behind the volcano, but only because they were 500 meters apart, they did not know that the other was here.
When Feng Jiu woke up, it was because of the aroma of the roasted meat that permeated through that piece of the forest…
