Chapter 227: Talent
Yun Fusang gave Ye Fei a slight smile without any doubt: "Xiao Fei, you are our captain, I believe in you."
Yu Muhan chimed in, "Yes, Xiao Fei would never harm us!"
Huang Rongyu didn't speak, but just gazed at her quietly, his eyes, as beautiful and dazzling as obsidian, filled with a soft light—a look he had never shown to any other woman.
Ye Fei felt that Huang Rongyu's gaze was too intense, so she coughed lightly and naturally stopped looking at him: "Then let's put it this way... It's late, let's go back to Yuan City now to submit the mission, and then go straight back to Lingfeng Academy?"
...
After leaving Luanyun Gorge, Ye Fei and the others returned to Guiyuan City.
After submitting the white dragon fox's beast core, Ye Fei received a reward of 40,000 gold coins.
"Doing mercenary missions is really lucrative..." Ye Fei sighed.
Yun Fusang nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and then said, "But some missions are usually accompanied by danger. Doing mercenary missions is actually equivalent to gambling with your life."
Countless mercenaries have lost their lives because they accepted missions with excessively high difficulty levels.
"So, just do what you can, don't force it." Ye Fei patted Yun Fusang on the shoulder. "Nothing is more important than life, Fusang, I'm saying this to you."
Yun Fusang's expression froze slightly, but then she immediately understood that Ye Fei was reminding her not to push herself too hard.
Apart from her deceased mother, no one had ever cared for her so much—not even her biological father, nor the Yun family.
A warm feeling rose in her heart, and Yun Fusang was somewhat moved. She took a deep breath and nodded heavily to Ye Fei, saying, "Captain, I understand."
The four of them returned to Lingfeng Academy together, and Ye Fei divided the reward of 40,000 gold coins equally among Huang Rongyu, Yu Muhan, and Yun Fusang.
Yu Muhan received her first reward, a full ten thousand gold coins. She was so happy that she laughed and cried at the same time, and held Ye Fei tightly for a long time.
After calming Yu Muhan down, Ye Fei had dinner with everyone before returning to the dormitory.
After a comfortable shower, Ye Fei lay sprawled out on the bed.
As soon as she touched the bed, the tense nerves in her mind finally relaxed, and Ye Fei closed her eyes wearily, falling asleep in no time.
Late at night, Li Yuan came out of Tianji Pavilion and went directly to Ye Fei's dormitory.
Seeing the candlelight lit in the room, Li Yuan quietly sneaked in and immediately saw Ye Fei lying on the bed, fast asleep.
She wasn't covered by a blanket, and her clothes were loose and disheveled from her tossing and turning in bed, revealing her fair skin, which was quite eye-catching.
Seeing her completely unaware that she was silently seducing him, Li Yuan's ears turned slightly red from the heat and blood rushing to them.
He walked to the bedside and reluctantly covered the girl with the blanket.
At this moment, Li Yuan's gaze fell upon a small box on the table. A faint medicinal fragrance wafted from the box. He picked it up and opened it, revealing four snow-white pills placed quietly inside.
Li Yuan examined the pill; it was a second-grade hemostatic pill.
Strangely, this pill wasn't perfectly round like other pills; instead, it looked more like... a rough, unfinished product made by someone who had just learned alchemy.
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow, a thought popping into his mind: Could this hemostatic pill have been made by Fei'er?
He was somewhat surprised, not expecting her to have learned alchemy so quickly, and that she could refine a second-grade pill on her first attempt...
Such talent is probably unmatched in the entire human world.
