Three days passed in an instant.
Jiu Vermillion already notified him of the time when he and the other 2 Yellow Blood Realm experts would depart from White Alyssum City which is exactly today.
When Arthur Vermillion was about to leave an alluring figure suddenly appeared at the gates of the Vermillion Family. A green long dressed beauty was currently on the way where Arthur Vermillion was standing.
Seeing Rose Jade come here on her own, Arthur Vermillion couldn't help but let out a satisfied smile. He also started advancing towards her with unhurried steps.
"Younger Brother Arthur, why should you be the one to deal with 12 Superior Body Stage beasts? They are stronger than you by a realm! And there are even 12 of them!!" Rose Jade.
Hearing Rose Jade become so direct and ranting threw Arthur Vermillion slightly off guard. He was indeed a bit numb to Jiu Vermillion's previous scoldings and persuasive words, he was really against him in dealing with a dozen Superior Body Stage beasts. But in the end, he gave up and told Arthur Vermillion of the date of when he was going to depart. He didn't really hope for Arthur Vermillion to personally deal with them, but instead the 2 Yellow Blood Realm experts accompanying him.
"You should calm down, Sister Rose Jade. I have two Yellow Blood Realm experts accompanying me, and they're even in the middle stages. What could possibly go wrong?" Arthur Vermillion said without any pensiveness.
"B-But..."
How could Rose Jade possibly calm down? Even for her, an Altering Bones Stage martial artist, would find it very very hard to kill 12 Superior Body Stage much less Arthur Vermillion who was weaker than her by two stages.
Suddenly, Arthur Vermillion strove forward as he lowered his face right in front of Rose Jade's face, between them is a space that is no less than 1 meter! (Author: Oh? Mn, a very good move, mn, MN!) Arthur Vermillion looked directly at Rose Jade's eyes and said, "If you're really worried about me then I can just cancel my journey and spend my night... with you.", the last words of Arthur were spoken very slowly.
Rose Jade was evidently stunned upon Arthur Vermillion's words. As an innocent and manless fourteen-year-old girl, this casual sentence would without a doubt, cause them to think immoral and bad things which is indeed what was on Rose Jade's mind right now. Her cheeks blossomed red and an indescribable feeling swelled up in Arthur Vermillion seeing this scene.
Rose Jade finally couldn't take it anymore while she few steps back and said angrily, "W-Who's worried with you! Fine, see who will be laughing when you come back heavily injured! Hmph!"
Arthur Vermillion looked at the departing figure of Rose Jade as he sighed in his head, 'Truly a woman worth conquering.' (Author: what conquering?! kid, you are thirteen years old!!)
........
Behind the gates of White Alyssum City, four figures could be seen discussing with a slightly serious expression on their faces. The one with a large build body and a bit of color gray in his hair and beard was the City Mayor of White Alyssum City, Bai Juan!
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"Bai Fuah, you must properly protect Arthur Vermillion from any harm, if it ever comes. Remember to not show yourself until it is needed."
Bai Fuah sternly nodded, he has never been disloyal to his uncle Bai Juan even until now. Even though the mission given to him this time was a bit unusual, he still complied without any hesitance. This was why Bai Juan has complete confidence to this nephew of his, he has never shown arrogance towards the weak and has always been a very justified person.
"Heina, Darriel, protect the village until Arthur Vermillion requests for your assistance to kill the Superior Body Stage beasts. You are to leave when he wants to leave, the same goes for you Bai Fuah. I will surely reward you all after."
Heina and Darriel didn't hesitate anymore after hearing the rewards and immediately answered, "We receive the City Mayor's order!"
At this time, the voice of Arthur Vermillion was heard by the four and Bai Fuah immediately hid away from Arthur Vermillion. Bai Juan also disappeared from sight and only the two Yellow Blood Realm experts were left to greet Arthur Vermillion.
As per the request of Arthur Vermillion, the three of them must go to the village only by foot. The distance between White Alyssum City and the mortal village was a bit more than 7 kilometers so walking there would be a trifling matter for the two of them so they didn't decline Arthur Vermillion.
'I feel like... someone's watching me?' Arthur Vermillion.
........
"Reporting to the Chief, the honorable cultivators will arrive in the village within a few more minutes!" An old man wearing gray robes said hastily while kneeling.
The Chief got up from his seat and immediately ordered, "Then hurry up and receive them without delay! Bring with you a few horses to escort their carriage here, I must see no mishaps lest we get into trouble!"
The old man scratched his head for a moment before saying, "T-this... Chief, they did not bring a carriage, they traveled by foot. If we use a horse while they walk..." The old man stopped his words here, his meaning was very obvious.
Although the distance between the village and White Alyssum City was only a bit more than 7 kilometers, it was a bit tedious for humans, "Truly, they are sedulous cultivators. Then we will promptly run to them to escort them," the Chief kneaded his knees for while before adding, "Damn, I'm too old for this..."
Three silhouettes appeared at the eyes of the trio. One of them was surprisingly the Village Chief of the mortal village. They greeted Arthur Vermillion and the others with utmost respect and politeness. The Village Chief also explained to them the situation of their village while they walk.
Apparently, the beasts were encircling the farming land of their village, and now they can't harvest their crops which greatly affected the lives of their people. Their farming land was also close to their village so once the beasts start to move and find their village, unthinkable consequence would befall their village and thus they requested the help of White Alyssum City.
Arthur Vermillion sank into deep thought after learning their circumstances, but there are still some questions that he couldn't help but ask, "Old Chief, the Superior Body Stage beasts are always in the middle parts of the forest, so why are they here? Are you certain that they encircling the farming land, and not roaming around?"
The Chief also started to wear a serious expression after this, "I also know that these young beasts stay inside the forest until growth, so it is indeed very unusual for them to come out without accomplices. I don't know what use it will be for Young Master however they are indeed encircling our farmland and not roaming around."
At this moment, identical rock houses surrounded by thick sharpened wooden walls could be visibly seen. Countless greeneries and full bloomed flowers stuffed the eyes of Arthur Vermillion and the others. Trees high enough to block the light of the sun encompassed the surroundings of the village that formed a crescent moon.
"What a beautiful village." Darriel couldn't help but admire and imprint these scene. If one was to focus clearly on his eyes, one could discern a glint with the reflection of the village. The other two also had similar faces.
"Three esteemed cultivators, we have arrived."
