Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

After sailing on the sea for a month, the ship had gone through strong winds, rainstorms, reefs and forests. The hull became increasingly dilapidated and needed to be repaired in a timely manner.

After arriving at Nali Port, which was closest to the ice field, Qianghua ordered the shipping personnel working at the port to help repair the ship.

Repairing it would be cheaper than renting or buying a new ship from the port's shipping companies, and she still had use for the boat and didn't want to retire it now.

However, it would take about ten days to completely inspect and repair the hull, which meant she would have to stay here for a while.

After getting off the boat with Lina and the others, Qianghua immediately became a naive and gullible young lady who was traveling far away for the first time.

Because it is close to the ice field, the temperature in Nali City is lower than the places we passed by on the way here, and the closer to the ice field, the lower the temperature.

Although Qianghua and Xiaoba didn't care about the temperature, they followed the crowd and put on thicker clothes.

Xiao Ba patted his fur cape and said, "Finally these clothes are useful."

Qianghua raised her hand and smoothed the cloak on His body, her eyes inadvertently sweeping across a busy tavern.

"I met an acquaintance... no, a familiar beast."

It was Pine who was drinking from a large wooden cup in the tavern.

Qianghua: "Let's go and take a look."

Taverns have always been places where information is gathered. The drinks sold there are not really top-quality drinks, and adventurers may not be willing to drink them.

After walking into the tavern and ordering two large glasses of ordinary ale, Qianghua found a table and chair by the side and sat down.

He took out a pot of pear blossom wine and two cups from the space, and took out two plates of snacks and placed them on the table. While drinking with Xiao Ba, he listened to the mercenaries and adventurers bragging.

The tavern waiter brought over the beer and didn't pay any attention to the drinks and snacks on their table that were not from their own tavern. Instead, he cleverly put the beer aside so as not to block them from drinking.

The mercenaries and adventurers have been looking at Qianghua and Xiaoba since they came in.

Not to mention her noble temperament, the clothes that had the word "expensive" written all over them were enough to make them look sideways.

They seemed out of place in the atmosphere of this tavern. They should be sitting at a banquet for the rich and powerful in Nali City, listening to the bards telling interesting stories, instead of listening to them bragging in the tavern.

The mercenaries and adventurers noticed the gazes of Qianghua and Xiaoba, and they unconsciously sucked in their stomachs and straightened their backs, trying to appear more imposing.

Qianghua raised the wine glass in her hand and gestured to the mercenaries and adventurers around her with a smile.

The mercenaries and adventurers were stunned and picked up their glasses to toast back.

Qianghua first expressed her goodwill to break the somewhat stiff atmosphere after she and Xiaoba broke in, and the tavern became lively again.

Pine wiped his lips heroically and put down the wine glass in his hand.

Sensing that something was amiss in the atmosphere around him, he turned his head and followed his companion's gaze, only to meet a pair of golden eyes.

He shuddered subconsciously, all the hair on his body stood up, and his body went into alert mode!

This person gave him a feeling... a feeling...

His big mouth opened and closed, and he couldn't find the right words to express his feelings at the moment.

He didn't know why, he clearly didn't recognize this face, but his heartbeat suddenly quickened as soon as he met her eyes. He felt inexplicably guilty and didn't dare to look at her.

Pine looked away first, feeling uncomfortable all over.

"Why don't you drink anymore?" his companion asked curiously, patting his arm.

Pine fidgeted, "Suddenly I remembered I have something else to do, so I need to leave first."

After saying this, he stood up and ran out of the tavern without waiting for his companions to persuade him.

His intuition had saved him many times, and he believed it would be the same this time.

Qianghua glanced at Pine's hurried footsteps as he left, snorted and looked away.

Not until the tavern was left far behind did Pine slow down and look back, feeling puzzled, and returned to his current place with thought.

That annoying guy Klauris controlled his mission funds and the money allocated to him was calculated. If he wanted to eat well, he couldn't sleep well, and if he wanted to sleep well, he couldn't eat well.

He was an orc, so it didn't matter if he sat outdoors, so he naturally spent most of his money on food.

So the place where he lives now is a small but mixed courtyard.

There were five or six adventure teams living in the yard. He lived alone in a room, while other teams had several people squeezed into one room. In comparison, his own residence did not seem so bad.

"Paine, are you going to Sunset Valley tomorrow?" As soon as he entered the yard, someone from an adventure team asked him out.

Pine didn't want to take the risk, but he was still frightened by what happened just now. He didn't want to stay in the city for the time being. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Of course, when do we leave?"

"We'll set off early tomorrow morning and the journey will take about seven or eight days." The members of the adventure team were obviously very happy to hear Pine agree.

Pine nodded absentmindedly, said he would go back and prepare the things he would need for departure tomorrow, and then returned to his room.

It was not uncommon for him to take part in short-term adventures. After all, the mission funds were limited. He wanted to live a carefree life, so he always had to find opportunities to earn some extra money.

So the next day, before dawn, he followed the adventure team into the forest outside Nali City.

…………

"Shh-"

A cold light flashed, and a branch that blocked the way was cut off. The broken end was flat and smooth, which showed how sharp the tool used to cut the branch was.

"Eve, you can't do this." Winnie, a member of the Falcon Adventure Team, spoke helplessly to stop Qianghua from clearing the way.

"You'll leave traces like this, and it might even put us in danger." Winnie moved sideways to avoid the branches and vines that blocked the way, and said seriously: "You should do it like me."

"Look, Mani did a great job." She treated Xiao Ba as a child and praised him out loud.

Xiao Ba felt a little uncomfortable: "...cough cough."

How long has it been since He heard such words to coax a child?

Qianghua put away her sword, looking helpless but willing to listen to advice, "Okay."

Her current identity is a naive young lady who travels alone and a swordsman.

Because I was curious about the life of adventurers, I joined the Falcon Adventure Team to explore Luoxia Valley.

Luoxia Valley is not a dangerous place, and the members of the Falcon Adventure Team are quite strong, so they agreed to let Qianghua take Xiaoba, who looks like a chubby little boy, with her.

Of course, He could not participate in the distribution of the Falcon Adventure Team’s harvest.

Winnie was a gentle older sister. She was very satisfied with Eve's (Qianghua) advice, so she walked in front of Xiao Ba and helped Xiao Ba, who was as tall as her waist, to move forward.

Winnie is a tall sister, about 1.88 meters tall. She wears a pair of thick boots with heels and is taller than some of the male members of the adventure team.

He is also the wood magician and pharmacist in the team.

The potions she made were also one of the main sources for the adventure team, so she had a lot of say in the team, second only to the decision-making captain.

The team stopped at a flat open space.

Winnie and Qianghua explained: "The terrain here is flat, so let's rest here for a while. We will be able to reach Luoxia Valley and set up camp before dark. If we are lucky, we can even see the sunset in Luoxia Valley."

Qianghua and Xiaoba sat down next to her and took out the bread to share.

Winnie refused the soft bread handed to her by Qianghua, and took out her own dry biscuit and swallowed it with water.

Qianghua and Xiaoba looked at each other. Could it be that they were pretending too much and Winnie really thought they were delicate young ladies?

She seems to be showing only innocence, right?

After all, a delicate aristocratic girl would not go out on an adventure with a child alone.

"Susu-"

There was a noise in the bushes nearby.

The members of the Falcon Adventure Team immediately stood up and looked towards the source of the movement vigilantly.

A pangolin-like monster poked its head out from the bushes, and when it saw someone in front of it, it immediately retreated back into the bushes.

The members of the Falcon Adventure Team did not let their guard down.

About two minutes later, a member of the adventure team walked out from behind the bushes.

Yo, familiar beast.

Qianghua raised her eyebrows when she looked at Pine, the card in the middle of the team.

Pine, who was originally looking relaxed, suddenly stiffened when he saw Qianghua sitting side by side with Xiaoba eating bread.

Nali City is so big, how come we meet again!
