"Something terrible has happened! The beasts in Echo Valley have started a riot!"

Inside the mercenary alliance, several mercenaries responsible for reconnaissance rushed back.

"Take your time, don't rush!" Yu Tu sipped her tea, appearing very calm. At this moment, she was undoubtedly the number one in the alliance. Her 2,400 soul energy, combined with the Heavenly Charm Body and Void Summoning, was enough to crush most of the super ninth-tier beings.

"A treasure has suddenly appeared in Echo Valley, and now all the strange beasts within a hundred miles are rushing towards the location where the treasure appeared. Moreover, we have discovered the presence of a Holy Spirit!" the scouting mercenary said anxiously.

"Has it started?" Yu Tu was somewhat dazed; she knew that Echo Valley was beginning to close in.

She knew that Jiang Yuan was hunting alien beasts, and she came to the Mercenary Alliance only to help Jiang Yuan stop the alien beasts.

"What do we do?" Duoming asked calmly, hands on his hips.

"How many exits does Echo Valley have?" Yu Tu asked in a low voice, putting down his tea.

“Echo Valley is backed by canyons to the east and south, with no way to go up or down; so the only way out of Echo Valley is to the north and west!” Liu Wenxuan of the Mountain Fox said in a deep voice.

"Very good! Hear my command, Desert Eagle and Dark Fang will lead half of the force to guard the north; while the Frost Squad, Tsukuyomi Squad, and Mountain Fox Squad will guard the west!" Yu Tu said domineeringly.

"What about me?" Wolf was puzzled when he didn't hear his own name called.

"You!" A hint of coldness flashed deep in Yu Tu's eyes.

Before leaving, Jiang Yuan instructed that this fierce wolf possessed the bloodline of the Holy Spirit Clan. Although it could not be ruled out that he obtained the bloodline by chance, there was a high probability that he was a spy within the Holy Spirit Clan, so special arrangements had to be made.

"With Brother Fierce Wolf being so strong, of course I feel most at ease when he's by my side!" Yu Tu said with a smile.

"Gulp!" Wolf swallowed hard, then declared righteously, "Wolf is willing to serve the Alliance Leader!"

With a bewitching smile, Yu Tu said, "Remember, we'll only surround them, not kill them!"

"Why only surround them and not kill them?" Quick-gun had long been annoyed with Yu Tu, and now that he had the opportunity, he immediately launched an attack.

Yu Tu wasn't angry; he simply said leisurely, "I've seen the treasures in Echo Valley. The prerequisite for granting immortality is absorbing enough lifespan essence from living beings. Therefore, the more beasts that die, the more lifespan essence we receive upon entering!"

"And, everyone, don't forget why we're here!"

"Kill the Spirit King!"

...

"Major An, what about our mission?"

Before Yu Tu, dressed in a vibrant red dress, Long Shan and the others anxiously awaited their orders.

"You guys!" Yu Tu pursed her lips, looking very troubled.

"Major An, Brother Yuan instructed me to protect you every step of the way!" Little Fatty held the Meteorite Shield. Now, with his will as strong as iron and his body clad in heavy armor, he looked just like a war god.

"He still likes to treat me like a child!" Yu Tu smiled self-deprecatingly, but in front of Long Shan and Xiao Pang, she remained calm and said, "I don't need protection. You guys go deep into Echo Valley according to this map. Remember, once you reach your destination, lie in wait there. Don't reveal your whereabouts, otherwise, your safety will be hard to guarantee!"

"Going here?"

Looking at the map, both Longshan and Xiaopang were somewhat surprised.

"If necessary, this place can be destroyed!" Yu Tu tapped the map lightly.

"Um!"

Longshan and the others left knowingly, leaving only Little Fatty standing there.

"Is there anything else?" Yu Tu glanced at the chubby boy beside her.

"Was that Yuan-ge the masked guy yesterday?" Little Fatty's tone wasn't a question, but rather carried an extremely certain tone.

"I knew that guy's disguise was unreliable, even you noticed!" Yu Tu pouted, still complaining about Jiang Yuan.

"You seemed much stronger last night, did you and Brother Yuan..." Little Fatty winked, his meaning quite subtle.

"If you'd like, we can do that too!" Yu Tu's expression instantly became seductive, her eyes flashing with alluring charm.

"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, I don't have that ability!" Little Fatty said with lingering fear. Yesterday's events were still fresh in his mind. Just a simple physical contact had drained thirty points of his energy. He was not worthy of such gentle treatment.

"You've been waiting here just to tell me this?" Yu Tu raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased.

"No, no, no, I originally wanted to inquire about Brother Yuan's situation, but since he has his own plans, I won't pry!"

After finishing his sentence, Little Fatty frowned and said, "However, there's something I need to tell you that might affect your mood, but I think it's still necessary."

"What did you say?"

"After this battle, we'll be back at our unit soon. If my sister-in-law shows up then..."

“I know!” Yu Tu interrupted Xiao Pang, raising her hand slowly and saying, “Isn’t this you?”

"Me? What does that have to do with me!" Little Fatty was completely confused.

"Absorbing your energy yesterday was just to tease you. I can actually control it. I did it to test you!" After careful consideration, Yu Tu took out the Yue Lao letter.

"Huh, what does that mean?" Little Fatty still didn't understand.

The first page of the matchmaker's letter has disappeared, revealing only a brand new second page, seemingly symbolizing the beginning of a new life.

"You've passed the test. Sign your name, and our couple's contract is established!" Yu Tu placed the matchmaker's letter in front of Xiao Pang.

"this?"

"You can take a look at the contents of the contract first. Don't worry, it won't cheat you!" Yu Tu adopted a very casual attitude. The Yue Lao letter was very important to her. Collecting enough admiration power was the foundation for the future strength of the Heavenly Charm Body.

Little Fatty looked at it several times before finally signing Tang Yingjun's name with some skepticism.

"Right? Now that explains it!" Yu Tu laughed, waving the letter from the Matchmaker in his hand.

"Are people this good at having fun these days?" Little Fatty was stunned by her amazing skills.

"It's just a trial period. I think you'll be fed up in a few days. After all, becoming my long-term meal ticket isn't such an easy thing!" Yu Tu said with a proud little face.

"I feel like she's not even as good as the cool and beautiful girl on our team!" Little Fatty muttered under his breath.

"You, Tang Yingjun, you dare to complain about me now that the probationary period has only just begun!"

"No, no, no! A gentleman uses words, not fists!"

"I even hit Jiang Yuan, so you think I wouldn't dare hit you, huh!"

"No, I regret it. This isn't some kind of couple's contract; it's clearly a master-servant contract!"

"Too late! If you don't help me gather the power of admiration, you're not going to break the contract!"

...

Yu Tu fiercely grabbed Xiao Pang's ear, and the two immediately started playing around.
