Chapter 69

"Eh? Not three people? Impossible, I heard the guys from Blood Sword discussing it with my own ears."

Nie Yingying's words explained why she had always been so certain it was a three-person team mission.

"If it weren't for the fear of retaliation from the Heaven Alliance, and the fact that it was hard to allocate spots among the five of them, they would have already done this mission themselves."

Xie Yaoyao thought of the power of that woman Duanmu Li, like a Fire Phoenix in the world.

That's right, if it were him, he wouldn't want to offend that woman either, not to mention the fact that he had already accepted her deposit.

Xie Yaoyao nodded with a smile, indicating that he didn't disbelieve her words, and then he told Nie Yingying about how he and Vivian saved people but accidentally obtained the 'Invitation to the Little Garden'.

Nie Yingying's beautiful phoenix eyes widened into circles.

"Are you saying that I've been working hard here thinking of all kinds of ways to find a tiny clue, and you just casually picked up girls and got the invitation?"

Xie Yaoyao's eyes widened even more than Nie Yingying's.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't talk nonsense, I'll sue you for slander! When did I pick up girls? How did I pick up girls? I was saving people, saving people, understand! You don't know how pitiful those slaves are, their hands were worn out from working!"

Nie Yingying didn't care about Xie Yaoyao's explanation, grabbing his collar and pulling him over.

"Can the invitation you got allow five people to team up?"

Xie Yaoyao swallowed his saliva as he looked at Nie Yingying, who had suddenly become excited.

Big sister, you... you're exposing yourself!

"Yes... yes! Five people! I've already agreed with Vivian, three people on our side, Vivian and Duanmu Xing, exactly five people!"

Nie Yingying let go of Xie Yaoyao's collar, looking at the man in front of her with complex eyes.

"Didn't expect you to be quite capable. But, why is that woman willing to let me join? With the ability of Duanmu Li from the Heaven Alliance, she could easily summon a group of Third Tier Travelers with decent strength!"

Xie Yaoyao nodded and then shook his head.

"Duanmu Li has that ability, but you misunderstood, Vivian is just Duanmu Li's friend, she isn't from the Heaven Alliance. And this person... how should I put it, anyway, you'll know when you meet. Whatever she does, you'll feel it's possible!"

Although it felt strange to hear Xie Yaoyao talk about a girl like this, Nie Yingying wouldn't express her opinion on someone she hadn't met.

"If that's the case, it seems the invitation to the Little Garden really isn't obtained through just one channel! The clue I found points to the Viscountess of Heisen, and I've seen several waves of people also collecting clues, so it seems there should be people from the Heaven Alliance among them."

"Several waves of people? It seems there will be a lot of competition even after entering the plot map!"

Xie Yaoyao thought of Meng Xi in the Little Red Riding Hood plot map; that guy used some item to enter the plot map.

But since this plot map is limited to the Third Tier, Xie Yaoyao asked himself that he wouldn't lose to anyone.

"Don't worry too much, although I don't know how many invitations for this plot map will be issued in total, not everyone can be lucky enough to get one."

"We have already gained the upper hand."

In the following time, Nie Yingying was in high spirits after getting the guarantee of the invitation, and she earnestly learned from Xie Yaoyao how to take care of the cats and dogs.

It had to be said that Nie Yingying really liked small animals, and the little ones could also feel the goodwill of this human, surrounding her one after another to please her!

In the afternoon, Xie Yaoyao took time to go out and buy groceries, but just as he was about to show off his skills, he was rejected by Nie Yingying.

Her heart had already flown to the Fairytale World, and after the two ran to Burger King across the street to quickly finish dinner, Nie Yingying hurried back.

She wanted to enter the Fairytale World early to meet up with her good friend and share with her that the invitation had been secured.

Xie Yaoyao, on the other hand, chatted with Sister Sun from the barbershop next door for a long time, not returning to the shop to clean up, feed, and water until the sun was about to set, and after everything was done, he swayed to close the door, went upstairs, and entered the Fairytale World.

Fairytale World, the sky was already bright!

Xie Yaoyao, who had just pushed open the door of the foreman's dormitory, saw Vivian swinging her great sword at the edge of the logging camp, hacking hard at the spiked vines surrounding the logging camp.

"What are you doing?"

Xie Yaoyao, who walked behind her and spoke suddenly, gave her a fright.

Vivian reflexively swung her great sword in a sweep of a thousand armies behind her.

"Fuck!"

Three deep green emerald bamboos rose from the ground, instantly blocking Vivian's great sword.

"Clang!"

The blade of the great sword was stuck tightly in the body of the emerald bamboo, making a 'creaking' sound as Vivian exerted force.

Had to admit that this person's strength was really great.

"Are you trying to murder me?"

Xie Yaoyao glared fiercely at Vivian, who had just reacted.

Who knew this person didn't care at all, grinning at Xie Yaoyao.

In the gap of withdrawing the great sword, she even touched the emerald bamboo that was blocking between the two.

"Ling, I feel like these bamboos are harder than the ones you made yesterday!"

"I increased their density." Xie Yaoyao answered casually. "What are you doing here? Why are you hacking at these vines?"

"Oh, I'm testing the toughness of these vines, so I'll have an idea in case I fight you one day!"

After Vivian finished speaking, she immediately became triumphant, shouldering her great sword and laughing loudly, looking like 'look how clever I am'!

Xie Yaoyao, who really couldn't hold back, immediately gave her a flick on the forehead.

"You idiot, I'd bury you with quantity, what are you thinking!"

Scratching her head, Vivian looked at the spiked vines that surrounded the huge logging camp.

"Oh yeah, there are too many of them! Then what should I do? Doesn't that mean I can't beat you!"

"Hmph! You couldn't beat me anyway."

Xie Yaoyao turned his head and walked toward the path that was opened last night.

Vivian shouldered her great sword and followed with a grin.

"Ling, where are we going first?"

"You put on your cloak first! I agreed with my friends to meet at the 'Grey Bear Brothers' tavern in Heisen Town, they are the companions who will team up with us for the mission."

"Wow! Ling, you really are the most reliable guy! You contacted companions so quickly!"

Vivian's words made Xie Yaoyao's heart sink.

"You... does that mean... you haven't contacted Duanmu Xing yet?"

"Of course, I'm in France, and Xing's home is in China, how could I possibly contact her."

Vivian looked like it was a matter of course.

"So, Duanmu Xing doesn't know she's going to team up with us for the mission?"

"Right!"

Vivian nodded, looking at Xie Yaoyao strangely.

That expression seemed to be saying 'you're asking such an obvious question'.

Xie Yaoyao felt a bit of a headache.

"Aren't you good friends? Don't you have a phone or something?"

"Haha! Haha!" Vivian gave an awkward laugh. "Good friends or whatever, I've only met Xing once!"
