Chapter 56 - Imminent Storm

Yun Qingyan stretched her arm out and absorbed half the gem cores into her point bangle. Her eyes gleamed brightly as she said very magnanimously, "I'm giving them to you, so just take it. Why are you being so wishy-washy about this?"

This was the way Yun Qingyan was. She would repay good with good, and evil with evil.

Besides that, she also went all out to protect those on her side.

Yun Qingyan's generosity and display of favor made Fatty Yu feel warmth in his heart as if a hot spring was flowing in his heart.

He wouldn't have been so emotional if he didn't have to compare it to what happened earlier.

When he went with the rest to make group attacks earlier, the rest of them had doubted his contribution to the attack and refused to give him any of the spoils. So now, the gratitude in Fatty Yu's heart started to overwhelm him.

The rest of the team were all awful people who looked down on Yun Qingyan and didn't care about her just because she wasn't powerful. Boss Yun was such a wonderful person, and she wasn't as awful as they all said she was.

When Yun Qingyan spotted how Fatty Yu looked so touched that his eyes were tearing up, her lips twitched violently. This little meatball was too easily touched, wasn't he?

Her clear eyes looked up at the sky. "Hurry up and take your gem cores. From the looks of it… it's going to rain soon."

Everyone looked up at the sky. The vast sky was blue and sunny, and there were no clouds for miles. It didn't look like it was going to rain at all.

After being practically slapped in the face by Yun Qingyan so many times before this, even if they had doubts in their hearts, nobody dared to question her now.

When Yun Qingyan had a chance to slap a face, she slapped it really hard.

Baili Qingxue hummed for a while, then his toes gently touched the ground, launching himself into the air and sending his white robe rustling. He looked like an elegant white crane and his posture was light and ethereal.

Many admiring and envious eyes fell on that slim and otherworldly figure that was handsome beyond words. The hearts of the young ladies standing in the shade of the ancient trees were pounding wildly and erratically.

Senior Baili was simply too good looking.

His capabilities, aura, character, and family background were top notch. This man was born to be the public enemy of all men, and a trap to all women.

Lin Wanyue looked infatuatedly at the eye-catching white that spun into the air. The sun fell upon his pure white robe and looked like snow that was filled with light. It gave off a clear, pure, and lovely glow in the warm sun.

How was there such a perfect man in the world?

Lin Wanyue clenched her tiny fists tightly and a determination flashed in her eyes.

"A forest filled with Magical Beasts becomes way more dangerous when it rains. There's an escarpment a few kilometers ahead, let's go there and rest while waiting for the rain to stop." After taking a look at the situation, Baili Qingxue neatly landed back on his feet. His voice was cold and distant, and a clear layer of snow seemed to cover his eyes.

"Ok, sure… wait, what?" Everyone nodded along naturally when they suddenly realized something.

Senior Baili… had agreed with what Yun Qingyan said?

But there were clearly no clouds in the sky and it really didn't look like it would rain.

Lin Wanyue wrung her hands angrily. As long as it came out from Yun Qingyan's mouth, she was going to shoot it down. "Qingxue, look at the clear skies…"

Before she could finish her sentence, Baili Qingxue cut her off, "Let's start walking towards the escarpment first, then we'll make plans along the way, alright?"

His tone of voice was still cold and distant, but to Baili Qingxue, he was showing a rare display of gentleness.

Since he had put it that way, it was difficult for Lin Wanyue to say anymore. She had no choice but to hold her anger in and nod. She started to pray in her heart – why hadn't they met a high-level Magical Beast yet?

The whole team started walking towards the escarpment and the wind started to become stronger in the forest.

The strong winds blew dark clouds into the quickly darkening sky. The blackened sky was so pressurized that it became difficult to breathe.

The howling wind brought the roars of Magical Beasts through the air. An oppressive feeling began to fill the air and some of them started to shudder.

"Hurry up! The Magical Beasts are beginning to go wild." Baili Qingxue furrowed his brows as he shouted at the team. He could smell a stench in the wind.

In the dim light, Lin Wanyue's eyes began to slowly light up. They looked like wolves' eyes gleaming green in the night, and they were both vicious and dangerous.
