Chapter 588: The Hardest Ruin! The Undying Thunder, Volibear!

"Oh?" Li Yao raised an eyebrow and looked back at Mishaluo. "You should know that joining the guild means heading to the Abyss, right?"

Li Yao's voice...

...caused Miss Jiutiao Meise and Mu Mu Xiaoxiao to turn their heads at the same time to look at Mishaluo.

Mishaluo scratched his smooth bald head.

"This monk knows. This monk is not a man who breaks his word."

"Since I said I would go through fire and water for Benefactor Li Yao, then this monk will certainly do it, hehe."

Li Yao looked at him with an expression that said, 'Do you think I believe you?':

"If it's because I took you to grind the [God Ruins], you really don't have to do this."

"Haha, I know why now." Mu Mu Xiaoxiao slammed one hand into her other palm.

"This guy heard about the Demon race and thinks Blue Star won't be safe after you leave, so he wants to follow you to the Abyss!"

Mu Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Mishaluo with disdain.

"Am I right?"

"Uh..."

Mishaluo was speechless.

That was indeed what he was thinking.

After Benefactor Li Yao leaves...

...the hive that appeared in the Eagle Country is the best proof!

Originally, he thought that since the Brain-Eating Bees and the Titan race were both resolved, the Demon Insect race wouldn't be much of a danger.

There was no need to take risks in the Abyss.

But he hadn't expected...

...there was still the Demon race!

An existence even more terrifying than the Brain-Eating Bees!

Blue Star...

...is not safe!

"Benefactor Li Yao is going to the Abyss to find a way to deal with the Demon race, right?"

"Yes, to increase my strength to a level where I don't have to fear demons."

"Then this monk is willing to contribute."

"Good."

"Rest assured, I need you because of your malice-sensing ability to help the team avoid danger in advance."

"If I encounter an enemy I can't defeat, I'm not stupid; I won't take risks." Li Yao gave him a shot of confidence.

Mishaluo was clearly much more invigorated.

Then this monk can rest easy!

Sensing danger...

...this monk is the best at it!

As they talked...

...Gaienyate had also flown quite a distance.

Miss Jiutiao Meise's eyebrows knitted slightly:

"Li Yao-kun, this direction should be heading to the Sakura Country, right?"

"Yes, it's closer, so we'll deal with the dungeon there first."

"Why, do you have any thoughts?"

Miss Jiutiao Meise knew what Li Yao was asking, and she said coldly:

"No."

"Li Yao-kun is overthinking it."

"From childhood to now, aside from servants and guards, I've almost never had contact with other people my age."

"To me, the Sakura Country is just an ordinary country."

"Even if Li Yao-kun were to raze the Sakura Country, I wouldn't have any other emotions."

"Never had contact with other people my age..." Mu Mu Xiaoxiao repeated softly, not expecting that this woman, who seemed so cold, had such a miserable childhood.

Miss Jiutiao Meise looked at her with disgust.

"Put away that disgusting look."

"It's not that I couldn't have contact."

"It's just that I didn't want to."

"Men are all creatures who think with their lower halves, driven by lust; I know what they're thinking the moment I see them."

"Women are all parasites who covet vanity and approach with various motives."

Mu Mu Xiaoxiao shrank her neck. "Your range of damage is too wide."

"When you come to the Dragon Country, you have to be subtle, understand?"

"Oh?" Miss Jiutiao Meise turned back. "Li Yao-kun, is that so?"

"Yes."

"For people you aren't familiar with, you do need to be a bit subtle."

"But for people you are familiar with, it doesn't matter."

"Li Yao-kun still speaks nicely."

"Did you hear that?"

"You are people I'm familiar with; feel honored."

"Yes, this monk is incredibly honored."

Mishaluo said hurriedly.

If he remembered correctly...

...Benefactor Meise and Benefactor Li Yao have a life-and-death friendship.

In the future, it might even develop in a strange direction.

It's better not to offend them.

"Monk, you're just a bootlicker!" Mu Mu Xiaoxiao hummed softly.

After chatting for a while...

...the outline of the island nation gradually appeared below.

Flying from the Dragon Country to the Sakura Country...

...passing through the sea and entering from the border.

At the border gate of the Sakura Country...

...a large number of soldiers were stationed there.

They were preventing monsters appearing from the sea.

Those exceeding a certain level range would be killed by the soldiers.

Some low-level monsters were ignored, left to the new professionals who had just changed classes.

However...

...at this moment, not a single new professional was to be seen at the border.

When Gaienyate landed...

...a middle-aged man who looked 70% similar to Miss Jiutiao Meise was already waiting there.

Miss Jiutiao Xiongming.

The current head of the Miss Jiutiao family, the Emperor of the Sakura Country.

He was also Miss Jiutiao Meise's father.

Seeing the four of them descend from the giant dragon...

...Miss Jiutiao Xiongming greeted them with a smile, accompanied by two extraordinary-looking professionals.

"Chief General, this is our first time meeting, right?"

"I've heard my daughter mention you many times. This time, solving the dungeon is secondary; you must experience the local customs of our Sakura Country."

"We don't seem to be that close, do we?" Li Yao swatted away the hand he extended.

Miss Jiutiao Meise acted as if she didn't see him at all.

It was somewhat funny to say...

...she had stayed in the Miss Jiutiao family for so many years...

...and had never seen Miss Jiutiao Xiongming show such a smile.

She hadn't even seen him that many times.

(Note: The text indicates a page break/continuation here.)

Li Yao-kun came over...

...and he came out to welcome him personally.

If he wasn't mistaken...

...those two beside him seemed to be the two strongest retainers of the Miss Jiutiao family, right?

After being swatted away by Li Yao...

...there was not a hint of displeasure on Miss Jiutiao Xiongming's face.
