After applying the medicine, Natasha's long, wine-red hair cascaded down her back. She smiled gently, "Alright, a day of rest will do the trick. There's no need to rush the mercenary mission. We still have more than half of the alchemy materials delivered last time."
"Yes, thank you very much, Sister Natasha~. (￣▽￣)."
"Wait, I have a membership gift for you."
Natasha laughed, and under Xiao Han's expectant gaze that seemed to suggest a valuable "newbie gift pack," she took out an exquisite package from the front desk counter, opened it, and revealed a pink crystal battle dress.
"I've prepared something good!"
"But...but why a skirt?!"
Xiao Han's eyes widened, and he took a slight step back, as an inexplicable sense of terror brewed ahead.
Crossdressing!!!
"Hey, is there a problem with cute boys wearing skirts?"
"Um, well, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll have to go now. Goodbye, Sister Natasha, Blood Raven!"
Watching Xiao Han's hurried, fleeing figure, Natasha smiled slightly.
After Xiao Han left, only Natasha and Blood Raven remained in the Dark Raven Guild.
"Are you alright?"
Natasha, abandoning her previous gentle and charming demeanor, frowned slightly, her beautiful crimson eyes fixed on Blood Raven.
"Don't worry, although the assassins they sent are indeed as troublesome as the intelligence reports."
Blood Raven put down the pastries, waved his arm, and said confidently, "But none of them can threaten me yet."
"He was stabbed in the abdomen; the wound was quite deep and reached his ribs."
Natasha curled her lip in a mocking smile.
"Hey, I really did my best to take them down and I was completely unharmed!"
Blood Raven protested, handing the bag he was dragging to Natasha, asking her to remove the magical seal on it.
Inside a special bag that could isolate one's breath, three corpses were revealed. Their armor and weapons had been confiscated by Blood Raven, leaving only their naked bodies wrapped in burlap, and blood was still flowing.
However, inside the bag, they were actually in a state of suspended animation.
All three are Silver-ranked assassins, and their targets are Blood Raven and Natasha's masters.
"I just don't know which faction sent them."
Blood Raven frowned, rested his chin on his hand, and speculated, "Judging from the moves they used, the Shadow Guards of the Gubang family, the Holy Arbiters of the Divine Court, and the Hidden Ones of the Tulip family are not capable of assassination, or they are either hired killers from outside."
"After all, the Third Miss is too dazzling, and even within the family, she has attracted jealousy."
Natasha lounged lazily on the sofa, her legs crossed, revealing her long, snow-white legs beneath her skirt, causing Blood Raven to turn slightly around.
"By the way, you've been secretly protecting that little fox all along. Don't you have any ulterior motives?"
"no."
Blood Raven replied, shrugging, "This is for the Third Miss."
Upon hearing this, Natasha trembled as she swirled her wine glass, a glint of light shining in her alluring eyes.
"That's true. I think that if he's willing, he's the kind of talent that the Third Miss needs."
Natasha pursed her lips, spread her slender fingers, and counted them one by one: "A mysterious origin, a Silver-rank subordinate, an endearing appearance that hides astonishing power, what's more, after conquering the eastern district and angering the affiliated forces of the Gubang family, the Third Miss has already taken notice of him."
"Okay, you can interrogate these three people. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now."
"Blood Raven".
Just as Blood Raven was about to leave, Natasha suddenly called out to him.
Do you still remember the vow you made back then?
Natasha withdrew her long legs, which disappeared beneath her skirt, and stared at Blood Raven with her beautiful, ruby-red eyes, exuding an unprecedented seriousness.
Blood Raven paused, stiffened for a moment, turned around, reached out and took off his helmet, revealing a young and handsome face, except for a cross-shaped scar on the right side of his face, and a pair of eagle-like eyes that met Natasha's gaze.
"nature."
Blood Raven spoke calmly, a solemn expression appearing on his handsome face.
"I wish to become a blade of darkness, piercing the throats of my enemies, penetrating their hearts, and slaughtering my lord's foe to my heart's content."
Blood Raven put his helmet back on and stepped out the door.
"I will remain loyal to this cause forever."
...
the next day.
"Take this sword!"
Xiao Han roared, and a fireball shot out from his palm, landing in the center of the slimes and exploding, instantly killing more than a dozen mini slimes.
"Gala~"
A ball of bright green slime, the size of a football, shot out, carrying a highly corrosive poison, and crashed into Xiao Han at an astonishing speed.
"Dare to launch a sneak attack? Take this fireball!"
Xiao Han drew his sword and spun around, flashing in an arc. The attacking green slime was cut in two, bursting into flames in the void and turning into a puddle of slime.
"roar!"
Xiao Han's frenzied killing of slimes finally attracted the king lurking at the bottom of the lake.
A familiar figure emerged from the lake, its orange exterior gradually turning crimson. Without any frills, it transformed into a grenade launcher, aiming swarms of scorching, spherical slime at Xiao Han. After igniting flames, it suddenly shot out, trailing long tail flames!
"You just wait!"
Xiao Han was prepared, and after saying "Fuck you!", he ran away frantically amidst the bombardment!
Witnessing this familiar scene, the Exploding Slime deliberately used its [Clone] ability, just like yesterday, unleashing three full-scale grenade launchers at the little fox that had stirred up a gust of wind, delivering a devastating attack!
Amidst the gunfire, there was the sinister grin of the slime hero, and the frustrated declaration of a little fox: "I'll be back to beat you up!"
