Chapter 133: with translation of chapter title

When he saw Lin Manzhi, who was being investigated by everyone, Mo Lie kept a cold face, averted his gaze to push back the male beast beside him, his hand loosely protecting Lin Manzhi's waist from behind, looked toward the doorway at Ferocious Iron, and asked lightly, "Fierce Sand Escort Bureau?"

Ferocious Iron, now facing the leader, would still be startled.

He nervously swallowed, sorted out what he should do now that the new leader was approaching, and raised his voice to reply, "Yes, this is the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau, a professional bureau responsible for the safety of people and cargo."

Lin Manzhi followed Mo Lie slowly into the shop, and upon hearing that, her black eyes smiled as if a great sigh of relief had been released, "I need to find an escort with stronger martial power; price is not an issue."

At this moment, the people at the shop entrance lowered their heads upon seeing a female arrive here, joining the queue of those seeking escorts from the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau, and feeling a lingering hesitation and wariness, their hearts sank a bit.

A female, huh!

They are not safe even within Kuangsha City, let alone out in the desert beyond Kuangsha City.

Here, as long as there is a female in the party, the danger to the whole group will at least double.

Now that females are coming to choose the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau, doesn't that prove this bureau is even more reliable!

Thinking this, everyone stared at the focal point Lin Manzhi in the crowd, to see whether the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau had the capability to take this job.

Ferocious Iron remained silent, nervously glanced at Mo Lie behind Lin Manzhi, and in a seemingly careful lowered voice asked, "May I ask if you are escorting only yourself? Do you have any valuable items on your person?"

Lin Manzhi hesitated, opened a flap of the leather bag in her bosom toward the people of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau, then quickly closed it, "The main thing is to escort this!"

Just then, the previously relaxed Ferocious Iron's pupils contracted, and his call, much faster than before, rang out, "You, you are actually in witch…"

Mid‑sentence, the Deputy Escort Head of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau suddenly recalled something, closed his mouth tightly, and with a respectful expression said to the female before him, "Please come with me to the second floor for a private talk."

Lin Manzhi gave Ferocious Iron a slight nod, and with Mo Lie and Hua Zheng behind her, followed Ferocious Iron toward the second floor.

Until the four figures vanished, another official of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau stepped out, awakening the customers at the doorway who wanted to follow up to the second floor.

The crowd halted, turned toward the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau, and cooperated; they were carrying Meat Jerky, a very precious commodity in Kuangsha City, and right there, in front of all onlookers, they signed a bone talisman contract in the hall.

That female… what exactly did she bring that made the Deputy Escort Head not only entertain her personally but also take her to a private room on the second floor for discussion?

After a short while, the female that everyone was concerned about quickly went back downstairs.

Lin Manzhi's steps were hurried, and Mo Lie and Hua Zheng behind her also seemed cautious; her leather bag was gone, replaced by a medium‑sized box in her hands.

Lin Manzhi lowered her head, with Ferocious Iron leading the way, and smoothly walked out from the crowded throng at the doorway.

She carried a splendid box containing the raw elixir, and behind Mo Lie and Hua Zheng, there were thirty escort guards from the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau.

It seemed she had signed a bone talisman contract with the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau and was now preparing to leave the city.

Because it was for a performance, the raw elixir was placed in a splendid box, as if fearing people wouldn't notice; the box bore a large "Raw" on its outside, instantly evoking imagination.

And the people at the doorway indeed, in an instant, thought of the "witch" word Ferocious Iron had just said, combined with this "Raw"…

Whoa!

Could this be the raw elixir from the Wushen Temple that everyone can't get??

The merchant caravans of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau were just beginning to understand, but unfortunately the group of the female carrying the box had already fled far away, disappearing at the end of the street; they could only scratch their heads in regret.

At this moment, Lin Manzhi and her party, just after leaving the street belonging to the Xicheng Qu faction, were met head‑on by a group of masked male beasts blocking the road.

It seemed they had been secretly tracking them from the Wushen Temple all the way, and the leader, with a vile voice, said, "Hey, hand over the raw elixir you have."

"What! How do you know we have the raw elixir!" Lin Manzhi suddenly lifted her head, her voice high with alarm, "You came to snatch my raw elixir?"

The male beast leader blocking the road, hearing Lin Manzhi's question, laughed arrogantly, "Hahaha… there's no stealing here; I'm here to take what I left with you. Hand it over obediently, and since you're a female, I can spare you injury."

Lin Manzhi heard this, terror flashing in her black‑pearl eyes, grabbed Mo Lie's hand and walked toward him, quickly clutching the box in her hands.

Mo Lie lifted his eyelid and looked toward the group ahead.

His eyes carried a terrifying bottomless‑sea depth, and his voice, as cold as metal, said, "I see… you are looking for death."

Leading the group was Xiang Sa; even though the script had been arranged by the leader early in the morning, at this moment he couldn't help recalling the memories of those days trained by the opponent in the desert.

The leader, appearing only in Human Form, struck their five‑meter‑tall, twelve‑ton Beast‑Transformed elephant‑type forces, leaving them with no chance to retaliate.

Come, come seize him?

…who would have such a crazy idea.

Xiang Sa's gaze was bleak and sluggish as he said, "Fine, if you don't hand it over, brothers, attack me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the brothers behind him rushed forward with long knives and spears; not wanting to reveal their Beast Form, they simply robbed in human guise, and having trained under Mo Lie, their human‑style combat techniques were brand new, ensuring no one could tell who they were.

Mo Lie narrowed his eyes, cradled Lin Manzhi with one hand, and tilted his head slightly toward the rear squad, "Escorts of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau."

He stood unmoving, while the forty‑plus ferocious male beasts opposite were shouting and slashing, and he simply instructed, "It's yours now."

Time to demonstrate the escort's martial power.

Sure enough, the group of seemingly unapproachable road‑blockers, under attack by twenty escort guards of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau, were beaten into a hasty retreat.

Hua Zheng crossed their arms, struggling to suppress a laugh, and said, "No wonder the escorts of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau are formidable; with your group's martial power, who would dare to recklessly come to snatch escorts."

Lin Manzhi let out an astonished laugh, patted the box in her hands, and rapidly raved, "Wow! The Fierce Sand Escort Bureau is truly excellent, indeed trustworthy; no matter who comes out, anyone trying to snatch their missions simply cannot succeed!"

Saying that, she turned her head toward Mo Lie, gave him a light wink, "Right?"

Mo Lie, also prompted with praise, replied, "…Hmm."

He lowered his gaze at Lin Manzhi, a faint smile flickering deep in his eyes, "I think so too."

The twenty‑plus escorts behind them, having so easily driven away more male beasts than themselves, were a bit stunned, but upon hearing the clients' praise, they gradually grew confident.

Indeed, our Fierce Sand Escort Bureau is that powerful!
