Xixi kept looking at Feng Yi with her big, round eyes... stunned by his sudden invitation to join his team. Despite his cool combat suit making him look handsome, his calm demeanor couldn't be concealed; like a serene lake without any ripples, he lacked the typical aura of a powerful individual.

She knew that a strong warrior would often have a powerful presence and that anger and mightiness couldn't be hidden. The man before her presented the exact opposite.

Honestly speaking, this small team was at rock bottom among all the teams. Without the extreme luck of finding a large medical kit today, the formidable Red Ghost would not have joined the team formed by two newly-adults.

And who was Red Ghost? She was a female warrior who truly walked on the edge of blade among those around. Despite being a woman, her combat ability of approaching Rank 3 had surpassed most men. This team already couldn't bear any additional burdens, but children would always be children without much judgment. Xixi directly asked Red Ghost for her opinion on the team invitation.

Red Ghost paused her movements and looked at Feng Yi with a strange gaze. It was difficult to describe her feelings as an experienced warrior; she couldn't feel any energy fluctuations from him. Too calm. Such abnormal calmness was not something common people had. If she had to put it into words, it was half good, half bad. He either seemed like a high-level master hiding his powers or like a pure Xaio Bai powerless to truss a chicken.

However, she wasn't quite sure about her judgment. This subtle aura was too unusual. So, Red Ghost shook her head without giving any personal advice and continued cleaning her glistening weapon.

The mature little girl didn't have much opinions of her own. Since she had agreed to team up with her partner, she saw no reason not to join.

The Blade Warrior with a radiant face slowly approached from a distance, humming an unfamiliar tune. On seeing Feng Yi, she frowned: "Hey, I've been looking for you for ages. How could you leave a lady alone? This is a crime worthy of death!".

Feng Yi raised his hands in surrender and briefly explained his intentions. He sighed inwardly over the decline of social morals to see a fierce tigress — no, a leopardess claiming to be a lady. The world has truly changed.

The Blade Warrior seemed very excited, she took out a Bigfoot off-road vehicle from the Space Crystal with a thud and snapped her fingers, "From now on, I'm the team leader. Please take care of me.".

"But sister, we didn't invite you to join our team." The four-eyed boy was completely confused and blushed as he looked at the Blade Warrior.

"Oh, what does it matter, you won't go wrong listening to your sister." The boy's shy demeanor didn't escape the Blade Warrior, who covered her mouth and smirked smugly, "Oh hohoho, I'm such a wicked woman."

"There's no need to take orders from strangers. It's getting late. Let's get ready to leave." The one speaking was Red Ghost, her coolness made it seem like she was the true core of the team, she ignored the Blade Warrior as if she hadn't heard her at all.

Just as the Blade Warrior wanted to retort, not far away, a horrifying one-eyed man objected, "I say, Red Ghost, don't you have any thoughts about joining the Snake Squad? You should know that those useless burdens won't do you any good. We also have plenty of medical kits here." The one-eyed man wrapped his arms around two heavily made-up ladies and cast a provocative glance this way.

Although he had never seen a woman with a perfect figure like the Blade Warrior, his lecherous gaze constantly wandered on her. The thought of getting her to bed was exhilarating. His voice inevitably gathered the attention of those around...

The young girl, who had just begun her career out of a small village and not much life experience to speak of, blinked her wide eyes, looking a little pitiful...

Red Ghost, too lazy to even raise her head and look at the one-eyed man, ignored him, "I'm not interested in someone like you. It's better to quit sooner."

"Hmph, what future does a useless team have?"

"It's none of your business."

"Is that so? I knew you would say that." The one-eyed man smirked, he hadn't really been planning to recruit Red Ghost, "Hey, woman over there, do you want to join my team?"

Bullying a child was already bad enough, but now he had the audacity to invite her, a woman of both beauty and wisdom, to join his team? The Blade Warrior shivered in horror, "Don't flatter yourself, I don't want to."

Laughter erupted around them...

The one-eyed man blushed at the sight. There was no one here who dared to object to him. Damn it, it had been years since anyone dared to humiliate him. He was so angry he started to laugh, "Huh, huh... Well said, I challenge you to a free duel."

A free duel was an old custom on Bull Planet. On this savage planet where flame is revered, refusing a free duel was not easy. As the saying goes, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.' Once the challenger has issued the challenge, the challenged party was free to choose the related combat project. The winner had the right to ask any condition within their means from the loser. This contest originally designed to promote friendship between warriors had completely lost its spirit over time— precisely because duel could not be turned down. Now, this free duel meant that the two parties were at daggers drawn. He decided he would ravage this damn woman in bed and then sell her on the black market.

"Just with you?" The Blade Warrior took out the Combat Power Tester and on seeing the chilling numbers, lost all interest. She pretended to be a mysterious alchemist indifferent to worldly affairs, "You better run while I'm still in a good mood."

The one-eyed man sneered with disdain: "Women are only good at running their mouths. Get out of my sight before I see you in the wilderness." He made a throat-slitting gesture.

The words seemed to spark something in the Blade Warrior. Her eyes narrowed and her face became indistinguishable in the setting sun, "All right, rookie, I'll give you three moves."

"This fight isn't going to do you any good." Red Ghost suddenly said, her voice ice-cold.

"Oh, why so?"

"The One-eyed man has a powerful sister, you'd better watch out."

Red Ghost, a woman of few words, didn't want to waste breath on further explanations. She knew the one-eyed man well, a notorious hooligan who, while not especially capable himself, acted recklessly relying on his powerful sister; of course, his sister knew his nature and often admonished him, but if someone bullied her brother that would be a different story.

Speaking of True Red Lotus, she was an entity that sent tremors throughout Bull Planet. Few could match her in power; thus because of people's fear of True Red Lotus, even if people didn't like the one-eyed man, no one dared to actively cause him trouble. The woman, whose name was unknown, obviously had no idea about the one-eyed man's identity.
