Chapter 253 This is my fiancée
Just as Zuo Shan was getting excited, she saw the man flying over on a rainbow. Her body reacted faster than her mind, and she reached out and hugged him.
This is a moment of victory. Everyone who fought alongside her against the beast tide is a close comrade-in-arms. This man played a crucial role in this battle. Giving him a hug to express gratitude and joy is perfectly normal, isn't it?
Mortilan's body stiffened slightly; this was the first time he had so readily accepted a woman's embrace.
In the past, when beautiful women tried to throw themselves at him, he wouldn't even have time to think before he would shake them away.
She was an exception; she was the woman he wanted to cherish and protect.
She was weak, but on the bloody battlefield, she did not back down. She took the initiative to bring people back to fight alongside him.
She was the object of his heart's desire and the object of his soul's longing.
Her embrace was soft and warm, making him unable to resist falling in love. He wrapped his arms around her and felt a soft, plump little ball on her back.
To ensure the baby's safety, Zuo Shan placed the baby on her back as soon as she climbed onto the ice wall, so that even if there was an attack from the front, she could use her chest to shield the baby.
Mortilan's arms were long enough that he gently wrapped his arms around the mother and child, reluctant to let go of the warmth. However, she only hugged him tightly for a moment before letting go.
"I'm sorry, Commander, I got carried away with my excitement!" Zuo Shan quickly apologized after regaining her senses. She hadn't forgotten that when this big shot got angry, the room would be filled with ice crystals.
"Can you still call me Xiaobai from now on? There's one thing I'm not lying to you about: when my mother was alive, she always called me Bai."
Mortilan looked at her with deep eyes, as if trying to absorb her soul. He did not withdraw his hands, but continued to hold the mother and child.
"But looking at your face, I really can't call you Xiaobai," Zuo Shan said hesitantly.
"Okay, from now on, when I'm with you, I'll try my best to use Xiaobai's face," Modilan said good-naturedly.
"Wait here for me a moment, I'll be right back," he said, and then he vanished from her sight in an instant.
The next second, everyone heard the commander's voice, amplified by his supernatural powers, resound throughout the bay: "Everyone, go collect the spoils! Each group collects from their assigned area; no crossing the boundary!"
After he finished speaking, everyone saw that many steps suddenly extended from the ice wall, leading directly to the beach below the ice wall. A thin barrier of supernatural power was erected on both sides of each step.
At the top of the steps was a combat team, so everyone could only collect the sea monster corpses in their own area, thus preventing chaos caused by fighting over spoils.
Some people had originally set their sights on the valuable sea monsters, but now that the commander had designated an area, they quietly put away their ulterior motives.
Everyone descended the steps to their respective areas, each group gathered their spoils, and then tried to distribute them according to the number of people. Some who felt they had contributed less voluntarily gave up some of their spoils.
After all, most people have a sense of shame, and they know exactly how much effort they put in during the previous battles.
Aside from a few shameless individuals who managed to take advantage of the situation, they couldn't get away with much.
"Sister, sister, so the man we pulled out of the river that time was the commander!" Pan Duole exclaimed excitedly to Zuo Shan's ear while sorting through the spoils of war.
Modilan Shield has always appeared as a newbie, so Lele still doesn't know that they are the same person.
Xiao Bao pouted. It had recognized him long ago. To be precise, it had never mistaken him. Mutant beasts only recognized auras, not faces.
However, it couldn't speak and couldn't tell Fan Jie this, and since it didn't have any ill intentions towards Fan Jie, it didn't try to drive him away.
Master Liu and Balo, who were standing next to him, were equally excited. They had just been so close to the commander, something they would be proud of for the rest of their lives.
They really wanted to ask Zuo Shan about his relationship with the commander, but they wisely kept quiet. Trying to pry into the secrets of important figures would only lead to trouble.
You don't know until you count them; it was only when you collected all the spoils that you realized that each person had killed an average of over a hundred sea monsters.
These sea beast carcasses are all high-grade ingredients and excellent materials for refining weapons. Since Barlow didn't have a spatial button, he agreed to hand over all the spoils to Master Liu for safekeeping, planning to distribute them slowly after returning to District 48.
Barlow is a resident of District 45. He bought the invitation from someone else for 100,000 silver coins. He never expected to make so much money. Now it seems he has made a fortune.
He decided not to return to District 45 for the time being, lest someone try to take advantage of him. That night, he observed Master Liu refining weapons up close and was filled with admiration. He then decided to become Master Liu's apprentice and learn weapon refining.
Master Liu neither agreed nor completely refused, but simply agreed to let him work as a handyman for a while to see if he had any talent before making a decision.
During the previous battles, Xiao Bao secretly collected some metal-attribute beast cores, melted the metal-attribute scales covering their bodies, and quietly stored some into his own space when no one was paying attention.
The baby was even more cunning. Every time he woke up needing to urinate, he would secretly use his mental spoon to dig out beast cores. He dug out dozens of beast cores in one night.
He was very picky. Apart from the ones with the same attribute as his mother, he only chose the fire-type beast core that Aunt Lele needed. As for himself, sigh! There were just too few spirit-type beast cores. He only managed to dig up three in one night!
Half an hour later, a small aircraft landed next to Zuo Shan, and Xiao Bai jumped out of it, with Meng Tong beside him.
It was the first time Zuo Shan and Meng Tong had met. Xiao Bai introduced them in a serious manner: "This is my fiancée, Miss Zuo Shan, and this is my family's head guard, Meng Tong."
Mong Thong: This is outrageous! The lord actually has a fiancée!
Left Fan: When did she become his fiancée? How come she herself didn't know?
But she dared not contradict the big shot in front of outsiders, otherwise, if she got angry, she would probably be hit with an ice knife.
She only dared to express her doubt with her eyes, but Xiaobai remained unfazed, as if she had no idea what outrageous things she had said.
Okay, you're the boss, so you're right.
She's just his fiancée, right? Just treat it as a nickname or something; it doesn't really count, so you can ignore it.
But, despite what he said, why did the big shot take her hand?
Zuo Shan gently tried to pull her hand away, but she couldn't. She didn't dare to use too much force and could only let him hold it.
His hands were warm, while hers were cold. Zuo Shan thought resignedly: "Let's just treat this as a hand-shaped hand warmer. The boss is too capricious, what can she do?"
“The no-fly zone is broken. Let’s leave first. Right now, many mercenary groups within District 40 are on their way after hearing the news. If we don’t leave soon, we’ll be targeted,” Xiaobai suggested.
“Okay. May I ask if we can bring Master Liu and the others along?” Zuo Shan asked, pointing to his two team members.
“Of course! As my fiancée, you can use a declarative sentence instead of a question for this,” Xiaobai said with a smile.
