Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 720 - 11 I am the Underling of a Big Boss_3

"So that’s how it is." Yan Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Very well, there’s no need to bother about the mortals then.

"Boss," Girl No.2 observed his expression secretly, but unfortunately, Yan Yu’s face was covered by sunglasses and a mask, making it impossible to discern any clues. "You aren’t planning to rob them, are you?"

"Rob?" Yan Yu was puzzled.

"It’s just that there were some rats before, gathered a large group to strike at the Military Mansion Cultivators’ camp, planning to kill for loot," Girl No.2 explained. "But they just happened to encounter Tang Xiaolian from the Huofeng Team. She just released a swarm of insects and killed most of them... She also has a golden bug that fears no Flying Sword Magic, attacking anyone it sees by spreading its wings, instantly leaving a bloody hole in their bodies. There’s no stopping it, absolutely no way to stop it."

"Well of course you can’t block that," Yan Yu said. "She’s in the Hua Mansion Stage, while you are all in the Marrow Cleansing Stage or Qi Refining Stage. Are you planning to fight with your heads? Plus, insect-using cultivators like her fear nothing less than a crowd."

"Exactly, exactly." Seeing that the boss had no intention of robbing, Girl No.2 hastened to agree in an ingratiating tone. "No one’s in charge in this Mysterious Realm; there are always some who get blinded by greed. Attacking Military Mansion Cultivators is like committing rebellion! These people are really asking for death."

"What about Chen Lingyun and Tang Xiaolian?" Yan Yu continued to inquire. "Any news about these two? Know where they are?"

Girl No.2 fell silent again. No way, Boss, you’re not thinking about troubling those two, are you? ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Team Monks... They’re much more dangerous than the Military Mansion Cultivators! Please don’t overestimate your abilities!

"The two of them are supposedly always tackling challenges and strategizing in this Mysterious Realm," Girl No.2 said with conviction.

In fact, she wasn’t clear about the whereabouts of Chen Lingyun and Tang Xiaolian, but she worried that the boss might say, "Let’s wait at the Military Mansion Cultivators’ camp then, I want to see what these two girls are capable of," and then get brutally beaten by two Team Monks... So she quickly put on a confident front.

"I see," Yan Yu stroked his chin and said. "If they’re tackling challenges, we can’t meet them then! Looks like the only way to find them is to break through this Mysterious Realm."

Girl No.2: ......

Although the boss spoke lightly, between "attacking the Military Mansion Cultivators’ camp" and "challenging Team Monks to duels," she’d rather continue accompanying the boss through challenges; they might actually make it.

After a brief moment to catch their breath, Yan Yu asked again:

"Oh, also, since you want to be my dog, what should I call you? Xiao Hei, or Da Huang?"

"Boss, just call me Luo Luo," Girl No.2 immediately replied.

"Luo Luo? That doesn’t sound like a dog’s name," Yan Yu casually commented.

Girl No.2’s gaze started to wander. She really wanted to travel back in time and strangle that former self who volunteered to be the "Boss’s underling."

"Never mind." Yan Yu didn’t dwell on the name issue and continued, "Show me your Flying Needle Magic Treasure."

Luo Luo hesitated for a moment, then took out a syringe and handed it over with both hands—once a Magic Treasure recognized its master, it couldn’t change ownership, so she wasn’t afraid of the boss forcibly taking it, as he would have killed her already if he wanted to.

"How do you use this thing?" Yan Yu turned the syringe over in his hands.

"You stimulate it with True Yuan, and then the Flying Needles inside it will shoot out," Luo Luo truthfully replied. "You lock on to the target with your mind."

"I’ve seen the speed of these Flying Needles, and they seem to be no match for the usual Flying Swords." Yan Yu said.

"They are no match," Luo Luo admitted. "Maybe it’s because my cultivation is too low; I’ve only recently reached the Marrow Cleansing Stage."

"Only recently reached the Marrow Cleansing Stage, yet daring to adventure into a Hua Mansion Stage Mysterious Realm?" Yan Yu raised an eyebrow and asked her. "Aren’t you afraid of dying?"

"Fortune favors the bold, Boss," Luo Luo said. "No entering the tiger’s den, no getting the tiger’s cubs. If I only sought safety, I’d probably still be lingering in the Qi Refining Stage. No, more likely I wouldn’t even be cultivating."

"You don’t have it easy," Yan Yu handed back the syringe to her. "Such terrible strength, yet you’ve ventured out into the world; you must be quite lucky."

Luo Luo, hiding her twitching mouth under the scarf, thought to herself that compared to your strength, mine is definitely garbage, but did you really have to say it out loud?

"Let’s go," Yan Yu said listlessly. "Who knows how many challenges are still ahead. Really boring, might as well finish them quickly."

"With your strength, Boss, such challenges in the Mysterious Realm will definitely be a piece of cake," Luo Luo immediately flattered.

"That’s not necessarily true," Yan Yu casually remarked. "Let’s try and see."

"You’re being modest, Boss," Luo Luo carefully replied with a smile. "Anyway, I believe this Mysterious Realm can’t hold you back."

"I’d certainly hope not, especially since you’re here too," Yan Yu glanced at her sideways.

Luo Luo almost blurted out, "Should I just go then?" But the lure of conquering the Mysterious Realm was laid out before her. Her mind shouted retreat, but she struggled to voice it, and after a long moment finally managed to say:

"Boss, if you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go west. If I hold you back, there’s no need for you to say a thing; I’ll just roll myself out right away."

Mm, weak in strength, but the attitude is okay; might as well bring her along.

Yan Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Let’s go, you lead the way."
