With a clink, Feng Huang tossed away the dagger in her hand with a look of annoyance on her face.

"Hmph, after all this time, you're still the same big idiot as always."

Feng Huang never understood why so many old hands, men much older than Xu Fan, were willing to willingly call him "boss."

Even to the point of dying for him.

In her eyes, such indifferent feelings were always just a burden that tied one down.

Birds of a feather flock together, the whole of White Crescent were all goods of the same kind as Xu Fan.

Feng Huang, who believed that only heartlessness could keep one alive, always felt that even with an additional person like herself, it wouldn't take long for this group of idiots forming the Mercenary Corps to perish in the dog-eat-dog Underground World.

However, over the years, she had seen the name White Crescent stun people time and again, and even make them shiver with fear.

Could it be that the force that had kept this name alive until now was this kind of ridiculous sentiment?

Feng Huang shook her head; she didn't want to think about it any longer.

She tidied up her disheveled blonde hair into a neat ponytail and then sat down on a sofa nearby.

"Since we've met today, it's just as well."

"I don't want to be the boss of White Crescent, those idiots, I can't stand to see them even for a day."

"You can let whoever you like be the boss, I'm done."

"Cough cough..."

Holding his chest, Xu Fan said with a pained face, "Ah, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to die, my poor little heart, quick, help me rub it."

"..."

Xu Fan was clearly trying to change the subject, and seeing his exaggerated acting, Feng Huang couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Oppa, stop playing games with me."

"If you would die from wounds of this severity, you wouldn't have made it this far."

Having spent years with Xu Fan, how could Feng Huang not understand him?

This guy, no matter how serious his injuries were, didn't he always bounce back lively after a while?

Feng Huang was well aware that firstly, his Inner Strength had healing properties, and secondly, his devilishly good Medical Skills.

If she thought a single cut from her dagger could kill him, only a fool would believe that!

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't fool you."

Continuing the charade would be awkward, so Xu Fan, now chuckling, took a seat opposite Feng Huang and began to make small talk.

"Just look at you, coming to Huaxia without even telling me, you took the train, right? Was it crowded? Did anyone take advantage of you? What about thieves, pickpockets?"

"..."

"Oppa!"

Could you not so blatantly change the subject!

Can you even take a train from America to Huaxia?

"I'm saying, I'm done! I want out!"

Feng Huang's face was very serious, and Xu Fan's smile disappeared without a trace as he looked at her.

"Feng Huang, are you afraid that they will affect you? Or even, change you?"

"..."

Feng Huang didn't answer, but obviously, Xu Fan had guessed some of it right.

"Maybe it's just my wishful thinking, but Feng Huang, I think you need this change."

This woman was too lonely and cold, as if she didn't trust the whole world.

Xu Fan didn't know what she had gone through, but he couldn't bear to see her live such a weary life.

"If you trust me, stay."

Feng Huang's strength was second only to his own within the entire White Crescent. Indeed, Xu Fan had his own selfish reasons when he retired and recommended Feng Huang for his place.

He wanted Feng Huang to take care of those brothers on his behalf.

But more than that, it was also for her own sake.

"Besides, now that I've retired, you're the boss. If you really don't want to do it anymore, do you still need to ask me?"

"Hmph."

Once again guessed by Xu Fan, Feng Huang blushed rarely and glared fiercely at Xu Fan.

It was as if she was blaming him for voicing it out loud.

"I didn't expect that, Oppa, you'd actually be living it up."

Feng Huang's intuition told her that what she had seen of Xu Fan was probably just the tip of the iceberg.

She was really curious about what Xu Fan had been through since retiring.

"Heh heh, let's not talk about me for now."

Xu Fan laughed and then looked seriously at Feng Huang, saying, "Now, can you tell me why you've come to Huaxia and what you're really up to?"

Feng Huang obviously didn't know she was in Jinling, and Xu Fan was curious about what brought her here.

"Oppa, are you concerned about me?"

When it came to this topic, Feng Huang deliberately played coy.

Resting her chin in her hands, she looked at Xu Fan with interest and pouted, "I'm truly moved."

"..."

This woman, here she goes again...

Xu Fan shook his head helplessly.

"Can we not change the subject, okay?"

"But, what if I tell you and you try to stop me, Oppa? Wouldn't that mean I'd fail my mission?"

"..."

If it weren't for the fear of you getting into trouble, who would want to stop you...

"Pfft."

Apparently amused by Xu Fan's demeanor at the moment, Feng Huang covered her mouth and giggled.

It took her a while to stop.

"Oppa, since you're so concerned about me, why don't you join me and help me complete this mission?"

"You're so capable, Oppa; you definitely won't let anything happen to me."

"That way, it's a win-win, how about it?"

"..."

For some reason, Xu Fan got the feeling of being dragged onto a pirate ship.

Who knows what mission this woman has taken on...

It's likely that I'd end up sinking with her on this pirate ship.

"Is that the only choice?"

Xu Fan glanced at Feng Huang and asked.

"What do you think, Oppa?"

Feng Huang playfully winked at Xu Fan and said.

Xu Fan cracked a smile, knowing well that apart from this, there was no other choice.

He really didn't want her to cause any trouble, and if she did encounter a tough situation, he would have to step in and help her out at the critical moment.

He wouldn't let her perish like a fleeting fragrance.

"Fine, but I'm telling you, I may not follow your plan when the time comes."

After letting out a sigh, Xu Fan agreed, wondering if this woman was planning on using him as a pawn.

"Meeting old friends in a new place, Huaxia sure has a nice way of putting it."

"Just in need of a male companion, and here I run into Oppa."

Feng Huang winked at Xu Fan again and said, "You'll have to take good care of me then, Oppa."

Saying this, Feng Huang stood up, ready to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Xu Fan called out to her right away.

This woman was truly unpredictable; Xu Fan really suspected that once she left now, she might end up completely blowing him off.

"What's the matter? Are you worried I'll run off, Oppa?"

Feng Huang seemed to catch onto his concerns, and with a playful wink, she said, "Don't worry, Oppa, I'll contact you tomorrow."

"Remember, tomorrow we'll be playing the role of a couple."

"Passing up the chance to play a couple with Oppa? How could I bear to miss that?"
