Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Evergloom Forest

The only problem was she had to wait for everyone to sleep before she could enter her space and give Jasmine the treatment.

After everyone was asleep, Gu Jin entered the space. Once she finished the treatment, Gu Jin walked around the space.

Her little brother Si Kai was so busy cultivating that he hardly came out of his Beast Tamer island!

Gu Jin went to the area where she had planted herbs and her small vegetable farm.

Looking at the small sprouts Gu Jin was filled with motivation.

She planted these seeds just a day ago and now they have started to grow! What a great speed. Even with no knowledge of agriculture, Gu Jin knew that the speed of the growth of the plants was against the law of heaven.

Gu Jin checked on the herbs that were used in Jasmine’s treatment and sighed with disappointment.

She had planted those herbs almost for a month or two but even now they have not sprouted!

Gu Jin could only wait patiently and exit the space.

Once outside, she heard a slight moment. Gu Jin instantly opened her eyes and looked at the source of the sound.

A short man yawned as he made his way to the bathroom.

Gu Jin closed her eyes.

Soon she fell into a dream.

"Bzzzz."

Gu Jin looked around to find where the sound was coming from instead she found herself surrounded by darkness.

She immediately turned alert and looked around.

The sound continued and Gu Jin finally started to stroll with light steps in the direction of the sound.

Finally, Gu Jin saw the object from which the sound was coming. It was a black seed emitting a strange blue light.

From afar it looked eerie, however, Gu Jin wasn’t scared of it. Instead, she felt that it was...beautiful.

The moment Gu Jin thought that the seed was beautiful, her eyes filled with caution.

The last time she thought a mutated red-eyed deer was mesmerizing, she almost died. Now she really couldn’t bring herself to like beautiful things.

The seed as if sensing Gu Jin’s hostility didn’t move and only continued to float in the air.

Just when Gu Jin was thinking about whether to attack the seed with her magic, she felt a tap on her shoulder, the moment she turned around, her eyes opened.

The hand tapping in her shoulder was by held by her tightly and she almost twisted the hand when she heard Liu Sunhao’s shriek,

"Hey! It’s me!"

Gu Jin blinked and withdrew her hand and said in a hoarse voice,

"Sorry."

Liu Sunhao felt his heart skipped a beat. Su Jin...is too beautiful. His red eyes though filled with coldness, look like ruby.

Not to mention Su Jin’s skin is too pale and soft. If he was a girl, Liu Sunaho would have started to flirt with her right away. And might have even proposed to him.

Unfortunately, he was a boy.

That was what Liu Sunhao thought, however, he didn’t show it on his face.

"Oh! You are finally awake!" Liu Sunhao snorted.

Gu Jin nodded and soon realized that she was dreaming earlier.

What a strange dream. She thought and got up to get ready.

Tang Guan stared at Gu Jin and said,

"I thought you were a light sleeper."

Gu Jin too was surprised by the fact that she didn’t wake up even when Liu Sunhao neared.

Usually, she would get alert and wake up if anyone dared to come within 30 meters of range of her.

But surprisingly today, only when Liu Sunhao tapped on her shoulder, did she wake up.

Gu Jin kept the matter in the back of her mind and went to the bathroom.

The moment she entered, her face turned pale.

God!

The bathroom had enough space to accommodate more than 10 people. With no cubicles, it was just like... an open bathroom.

Gu Jin gritted her teeth, she can’t wash up here. Hence she decisively turned around and was about to exit when Liu Sunhao and Tang Guan entered the room.

"What are you waiting for? Start showering! We are already so late! Can’t you see that almost everyone has left?" Tang Guan chided

Gu Jin held her stomach and said,

"I want to use the washroom."

Tang Guan choked and gave Gu Jin a side.

Liu Sunhao shook his head and both of them didn’t take this matter seriously.

Gu Jin hurriedly entered the washroom and went to her space.

After washing up, Gu Jin calculated the time and came out of the washroom.

By now there was no one present in the bathroom.

Tang Guan and Liu Sunhao were ready and were waiting for Gu Jin to come out.

Gu Jin gave them a look and entered the bathroom. She stood in the bathroom for the next 10 minutes, went to her space changed clothes, and came out from the space and bathroom.

Tang Guan, Liu Sunhao, and Gu Jin then went out.

On the way, Tang Guan informed,

"Today we are going to meet Sergeant Major Du. He is going to lead us to the place with the most beast and then we will start with our mission.

The mission is for 2 days. And Sergeant Major Du will supervise us, to ensure that we are not slacking. We will leave the place the day after tomorrow."

Gu Jin nodded.

In her heart though she was a bit worried. Originally she had told Long Yifan that she would return in 5 days.

But from the looks of it, she will need at least 6 days to reach Long Yifan’s mansion.

A day might not seem long but Long Yifan’s sister was with her. With the suspicious nature of Butler, she doesn’t even need to think about how things might go south.

By the time they reached the location, it was already 6 o’clock in the morning.

The location was an open-ground which is used by the military to train. For now, though it was used to address all the mercenaries.

Gu Jin saw that there were at least 50 or so people and instantly was confused,

"Wasn’t there only 10 people? How come there are so many now?"

Liu Sunhao rolled his eyes and said,

"Of course, there would be so many people. The remaining people were staying somewhere else."

"Where?"

"In an Inn or something." Tang Guan said calmly but slight envy was present in his tone.

"So why are we staying in that hall?" Gu Jin asked in a slightly agitated tone.

Liu Sunhao narrowed his eyes and said in a mysterious tone,

"To understand."

"What?" Gu Jin subconsciously asked.

"Poverty." Liu Sunhao finished and Gu Jin almost vomited blood.

He...

Why does she have so many sarcastic people around her?

"Of course, we are living to reduce our expenditure." Liu Sunhao rolled his eyes.

Gu Jin gritted his teeth and suddenly pointed,

"Do you know what that is?"

Liu Sinhao looked at the ground and said in a nonchalant tone,

"Isn’t it mud?"

Gu Jin shook her head and said earnestly,

"Look carefully."

Liu Sunhao looked at for a minute or two and said,

"Other than mud, I can’t see anything else."

Gu Jin smiled unkindly,

"Oh! Then maybe your brain size is so small that you are not able to find it."

"Su Jin!" Liu Sunhao shouted in anger.

Gu Jin continued,

"What? I was only trying to remind you that you dropped your brain on the ground."

Liu Sunhao looked at Tang Guan with an aggrieved face and said,

"Brother look at this bastard! He is too much! How can he bully his own senior?"

Tang Guan didn’t even bother to look at him and said,

"Let’s go."

Gu Jin followed behind Tang Guan, while Liu Sunhao muttered,

"Brother Tang you have changed."

When they regrouped with Zhang Wei, he hurriedly told them the rules,

"All you have to do is kill the beasts. Don’t forget to mark the beast with a blue mark. We will get money based on the beast killed with a blue mark.

Also, don’t mark someone else’s killed beast. It will lead to getting scolded."

All the members nodded except for Gu Jin who frowned and asked,

"What if someone else mark beast killed by us?"

Zhang Wei looked to the left side where a stern-faced middle-aged man in military uniform was talking with other leaders of top mercenaries and said with confidence,

"Don’t worry, Sergeant Major Du is a very honest person and the top mercenary usually won’t play such a dirty trick."

Gu Jin didn’t further question and nodded.

Zhang Wei continued,

"The section in which we are is Section A. The left side of Section A is the place where we have to battle. Also, don’t go too further. Evergloom Forest is located at a 50 km distance from Section A’s border.

We will be fighting outside the border, and in case of some spatial rift, we might end up in Evergloom Forest."
