Chapter 802

Really... proud!

"My lord, if you don't act today, I'm dead!"

"No problem, it's just a small favor!" Su Yang waved his hand. "I've got things to attend to—can you make it back alone?"

"Of course I can! I'm a qualified mercenary!" Xia Na gazed at the collapsed mountain in the distance, her face filled with sorrow. "But before that, I need to collect my comrades' remains."

"The dead cannot be brought back—try to accept it."

"Mm."

"Need help?"

"No, I can handle it myself!"

"Fine!"

Actually, Su Yang wasn't particularly eager to help.

He hadn't even looted the trophies from the Shanling Giant and the Obsidian Giant Serpent yet!

After Yun Yun finished looting the spoils, Xia Na had already neatly arranged the five corpses together.

"Um... My lord, do you have fire ash? I can only take their ashes back for burial!"

Su Yang summoned the Explosive Yan Mo; within ten seconds, black flames reduced the five bodies to ash, leaving not a single bone.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Xia Na swiftly packed a portion of each comrade's ashes into her sack and slung it onto her back.

Taking all the ashes would be impractical—taking a portion back is enough.

Even in the city's crematorium, the staff only give families a portion of the ashes.

Su Yang had heard that some mercenary teams in the wild never buried fallen members.

So Su Yang's impression of Xia Na was quite favorable.

Xia Na divided the mercenaries' belongings into five portions, stuffed them into her sack, and Su Yang almost guessed her intention.

She'd probably deliver these relics and property to the families of the dead.

What a kind little girl!

"Then I'm off!"

"My lord, I'm truly grateful to you!" Xia Na bowed deeply to Su Yang at a ninety-degree angle. "If not for your help today!"

"No problem, I'm leaving!" Su Yang teleported onto the Storm Eagle's back. "I suggest you join the military—it's far better than being a mercenary!"

With that, the Storm Eagle carried Su Yang soaring into the clouds!

Xia Na watched Su Yang depart, then finally exhaled in relief.

She patted her small chest and sighed: "The rumors outside are wrong after all! Su Yang seems to have a decent temper!"

After saying that, her face twisted in pain as she quickly set down one of her sacks.

Sitting on the Storm Eagle's back, Su Yang ordered it to hunt for prey.

He'd killed two King-tier beasts right after leaving, and saved his admirer's life—

Su Yang was in a good mood.

Especially since his admirer was a young, beautiful girl.

His vanity was greatly satisfied!

"What? What do you mean?"

Just as Su Yang was feeling cheerful, he suddenly heard the Storm Eagle say that Xia Na just now seemed suspicious!

"That Storm Eagle?"

Su Yang knew Xia Na had some small issues.

For example, her Storm Eagle wasn't something an ordinary mercenary could obtain.

But so what?

Su Yang disliked prying into others' secrets and avoided trouble.

But the Storm Eagle said it wasn't the Storm Eagle—and advised Su Yang to take another look.

"Then let's go check."

Beneath Su Yang's feet lay clouds—he couldn't see through them like the Storm Eagle could.

The Storm Eagle turned around and, just two minutes later, pierced through the cloud layer—Su Yang saw Xia Na again.

More precisely, he saw her back.

The little girl Xia Na stood with her back to Su Yang, walking against the wind toward the former battlefield.

She stepped lightly, carrying her sack, and scattered white powder into the wind.

Seeing this, Su Yang's face twitched.

That white powder must have been the ashes of Xia Na's dead comrades.

She said she'd take their ashes back for burial—so what's this?

Su Yang felt deceived.

The one who claimed to be his admirer?

Was that fake too?

"Storm Eagle, scout for beasts nearby—I think I need to have a proper talk with her."

Su Yang hadn't considered killing her.

He was just annoyed.

What do you do when you're annoyed?

Whoever made him annoyed—let them be annoyed too.

Moreover, that Xia Na seemed to be in a very good mood.

Just as Su Yang was about to intercept Xia Na, Xia Na tossed aside the bundle holding the ashes, spread her hands, and a flash of white light appeared on her palm, revealing a golden mouse the size of a palm.

A palm-sized golden little mouse!

It was the first time Su Yang had ever seen one.

He instinctively checked the detailed intel on that little mouse.

The moment the intel appeared, his pupils shrank sharply!
