This white bear is at least a hundred years old and extremely valuable!

Moreover, it could significantly enhance Ye Qiu's cultivation.

So, Ye Qiu wasn't discouraged.

Finding a spot to avoid the wind and cold, Ye Qiu didn't make a fire, braving the cold quietly waiting.

The reason for not making a fire was the fear of startling the white bear!

After all, white bears are wild animals!

They all have the same characteristic, which is fear of fire.

Fortunately, it seemed like even Mother Nature was on his side.

The heavy snow that fell sparsely all day stopped at night, and the biting cold wind vanished without a trace!

The moonlight slowly climbed into the sky, the surroundings were a sheet of white, and all was silent around!

Ye Qiu perked up his ears, carefully sensing all the auras around him.

Quiet, very quiet!

Aside from his heartbeat, there was no other sound.

Yet he did not relax his vigilance, remaining extremely alert as he continued to wait.

This time of year, Siberia is more daylight than night.

A night passed quietly.

The sky already showed a trace of dawn, and the morning sun slowly climbed into the sky.

"Still not back?"

Ye Qiu was a bit puzzled.

Logically, if the white bear had inverted its living habits, it would surely return to its habitat during the day.

But now it was late, and the white bear needed to rest.

All animals are the same.

The day was already bright, yet there was no sign of the white bear returning.

The surroundings were still extraordinarily quiet.

For miles around, no sign of life could be sensed.

Ye Qiu waited patiently until dusk, but his patience finally wore thin, and he walked into the cave to check once more.

Confirming there was no other entrance or exit, he searched the area within several miles around the cave entrance.

The result was as expected.

Because yesterday, hundreds of mercenaries had swarmed in.

The snow was left with a messy patch of footprints, making it impossible to find the white bear's tracks.

"Looks like it won't be coming back!"

Ye Qiu shook his head, feeling a bit lost as the sky darkened.

Not to mention the white bear's wide range of activities, based on their habits, no matter where they hunt, they always return to their habitat at night.

Ye Qiu had been stationed at the cave entrance for two days and nights but still hadn't seen any sign of the white bear.

Clearly, the white bear had abandoned this nest!

After thinking it over, Ye Qiu decided not to sit idly by. He planned to return to the town for supplies and look for opportunities to gather information!

...

Meanwhile, various groups of mercenaries in Romie Town gathered in groups of three or five.

They had no intention of leaving.

Although they knew the Demon King Ye Qiu was also around, they were unwilling to give up.

After exerting a tremendous amount of effort, they had finally learned of the white bear's whereabouts.

Now it was so close, the duck almost in their mouths; they could not simply give up that easily.

"The Demon King is too much!"

The members of the Death God Corps were indignant!

Not only did the Demon King ruthlessly slaughter their members in front of their leader, but his attitude was also extremely arrogant.

They were enraged!

Furiously gnashing their teeth.

"Heh!"

The leader of the Death God Corps had a somber face.

He was still brooding over yesterday's event!

Even the saying goes, "When you beat a dog, look at the owner!"

The Demon King actually gave him no face at all, slaughtering his men right in front of him.

Although a life wasn't worth mentioning, he wasn't worried.

However, it happened in front of so many Mercenary Corps, with various forces witnessing the Demon King's humiliation of their Death God Corps!

How could he bear it?

How could his Death God Corps stand in the Mercenary Realm in the future?

His face grew darker and darker, filled with a fierce murderous intent...

Not only the Death God Corps.

Other mercenaries felt the same!

They were equally angry!

Angry that the Demon King monopolized the white bear, oppressed them viciously...

As they grumbled indignantly, Ye Qiu also returned to the town.

Unlike the first time.

This time, when Ye Qiu walked down the street, the mercenaries gathered at the street corner dispersed all at once.

As if they had seen a ghost.

In an instant, the bustling street was desolate.

Because none of the mercenaries had left yet, the town's inns were still packed.

With no other choice, Ye Qiu returned to the inn at the head of the street, intending to stay temporarily with Lin Xiaoxiao.

By the time he got back to the inn, it was completely dark.

"Ye Qiu, you're finally back!"

As soon as he entered the inn, Lin Xiaoxiao came out to greet him.

Her delicate oval face was flushed, and her tone was somewhat anxious.

"What's going on?"

Ye Qiu asked, puzzled.

Seeing her flustered, Ye Qiu was a bit worried.

"N-no problem!"

Lin Xiaoxiao's face turned even redder, and she spoke hesitantly, her tone changed.

"Oh~ this lovely lady, I told you this gentleman would definitely return, now do you believe it? What about that information fee?"

Seeing Ye Qiu return, the innkeeper seemed to greet a god of wealth, smiling with delight.

"Oh, come on, can't you wait a little?"

The innkeeper's words made Lin Xiaoxiao even more embarrassed.

"What's going on?"

Seeing the innkeeper asking Lin Xiaoxiao for some information fee, Ye Qiu was dumbfounded.

Could it be that Lin Xiaoxiao also inquired about some news like him?

"Sir, you don't know, after you left, this lady would come downstairs every hour to ask for news about you!"

The innkeeper chuckled, then looked at Lin Xiaoxiao: "Money!"

"Here you go!"

Ye Qiu painfully took two hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into the innkeeper's hand, then pulled Lin Xiaoxiao upstairs.

"Why are you asking him for information for no reason? He's just a greedy guy!"

Once inside the room, Ye Qiu looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"I didn't mean it..." Lin Xiaoxiao looked like a kid who had done something wrong, her flushed oval face drooped: "I was worried about you..."

After saying that, she ran out.

This guy is probably just a blockhead! How can he not understand a girl's feelings at all?

Lin Xiaoxiao was also speechless inside.

Her words kept lingering in Ye Qiu's ears.

It's not that I'm not concerned about you...

"Oh no... tempting beauty!"

Ye Qiu wanted to slap himself.

Why do girls like him wherever he goes?

After settling his things, Ye Qiu took a shower.

When he came out, the room was still empty, and Lin Xiaoxiao seemed not to have returned yet.

"Where did she go?"

Ye Qiu muttered to himself.

In a foreign land, and it's late at night.

After all, Lin Xiaoxiao is just a girl, and outside there are mercenaries everywhere who are insane.

He was really worried about whether Lin Xiaoxiao would be in any danger going out so late.

Quickly putting on his clothes, Ye Qiu rushed out.

After searching around the inn, he couldn't find any trace of Lin Xiaoxiao.

Ye Qiu hurried downstairs, glanced at the innkeeper, and despite the reluctance in his heart, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you see that girl from earlier?"
