Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1982: Chapter 1983: Departure

At this moment, Qing’er smiled slightly, then raised her head and said softly:

”Mr. Fan, you’re being too polite!”

”Hahaha! Qing’er, what are you talking about? Everyone knows that I, Fan Kun, am a warm-hearted person. Seeing that you have such a big operation must mean the task isn’t easy, so it’s our duty to help!”

Watching Fan Kun speak so reasonably, like a kind-hearted old man, Qing’er maintained her unchanged expression, a seductive smile at the corner of her mouth, and said:

”Mr. Fan, our task this time is mainly to pick some precious Spirit Grass. Slaying the Black Flame Lion Tiger Beast is just for one of its medicinal ingredients, but we need a large volume of Spirit Grass, so we’ve recruited many hands! The three gentlemen of the Black Mountain Mercenary Group won’t take action; only Deputy Leader Mo will accompany us in case of accidents!”

Qing’er’s words implied that the task wasn’t difficult, just needed a lot of Spirit Grass, hence the manpower need. It’s unimportant whether your Blood Refining Mercenary Group joins or not!

Yet Fan Kun, a shrewd old fox, wasn’t easily tricked?

He turned his eyes slightly, then said with a laugh:

”Oh, so that’s how it is! It seems I was too rash! But, since we are all mercenaries, we should help each other! How about this, I won’t go, but let my son accompany Qing’er. You’re all young people with many topics to discuss!”

”Li’er!”

”Father!”

Fan Li, dressed in white, stepped forward with a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, making him seem like a modest gentleman.

Fan Li then looked at Qing’er with an undisguised affection in his eyes and said:

”Miss Qing’er, I am Fan Li, the junior leader of the Blood Refining Mercenary Group. I’ve long heard of your name, and seeing you today, you’re indeed a celestial beauty!”

Seeing Fan Li’s enthusiasm, Qing’er responded with a polite smile and said:

”I’ve also heard of your famous name, Mr. Fan!”

Fan Kun, standing aside, said with a laugh:

”Haha, you two are young people, you should have lots to talk about. I won’t interfere, right? By the way, Black Mountain Mercenary Group, we haven’t had a drink together for a long time. When are you free for me to host?”

At this moment, an elderly person behind Qing’er smiled slightly and said:

”We can drink anytime as long as it doesn’t hinder business!”

And the aura of the old man was extremely powerful as well. Hearing this, Fan Kun laughed and said:

”Mr. Mo is right! Then I won’t waste everyone’s time, Li’er, you should take good care of Miss Qing’er. If anything happens to her, I won’t spare you!”

Fan Li smiled slightly and said:

”Don’t worry, father. Even if something happens to me, I’ll make sure nothing happens to Miss Qing’er!”

”That’s good! Alright, since you’re all busy today, I won’t disturb you. Haha, I’ll take my leave first!”

Fan Kun laughed and then left.

And watching Fan Kun’s departing figure, the members of the Black Mountain Mercenary Group looked on meaningfully, not knowing what they were thinking about.

Then Mr. Mo withdrew his gaze and said to Qing’er:

”Miss! If there’s nothing else, let’s set off! Rest assured, with Old Three accompanying you, no one will dare make a move!”

As he spoke, Mo’s eyes intentionally or unintentionally fell on the composed-looking Fan Li, who, as if sensing it, responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qing’er immediately said:

”That’s right, with Uncle Li’s protection, I’m naturally not worried about safety! Let’s distribute the detailed task list to each mercenary group and depart!”

A middle-aged man standing behind Qing’er said solemnly:

”Alright, Miss! We’ll distribute the task lists as arranged earlier!”

”Yes!”

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s command, several people resembling stewards stepped forward, walked to each mercenary group, and handed out a task list, which Lin Chen’s Mu Tie Mercenary Group received as well.

Mu Tie didn’t hide anything and openly took theirs, revealing three tasks: to find three kinds of herbs. Although the difficulty wasn’t great, the quantity was considerable. However, with many mercenary groups involved, they were relieved, thinking that the Black Mountain Mercenary Group must have taken on a big task this time!

Yet Lin Chen frowned, feeling that the task wasn’t as simple as it seemed, like there were hidden secrets behind it, and this feeling of being left in the dark left him a bit dissatisfied.

After distributing the task lists, Qing’er nodded slightly and said:

”Thank you, Uncle Li!”

The middle-aged man nodded upon hearing this without saying much.

Then Qing’er glanced around, her clear voice like a warbler’s song reaching everyone’s ears:

”Alright, if there’s no problem, let’s set off! I must trouble everyone this time!”

”Not at all! It’s no trouble!”

”Haha, indeed, it’s an honor to work for Qing’er!”

Seeing Qing’er speaking to them, everyone responded enthusiastically, even Shi Hao and An Yanshan smiling broadly, making Lin Chen speechless.

Then Lin Chen drew blame from Fang Xiaolian, Shi Hao, and An Yanshan.

Yet Qing’er, having heard such words numerous times, didn’t mind much, only smiled faintly, then nodded to the two elders behind her and spoke to the middle-aged man beside her:

”Uncle Li, let’s depart!”

”Alright! Depart!”

Then, led by the Black Mountain Mercenary Group, Fan Li of the Blood Refining Mercenary Group also moved close to Qing’er’s group with a considerable number of personnel. Other mercenary groups centered around them, forming a grand procession heading towards the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

And Lin Chen’s team followed at nearly the rear position, with Shi Hao and An Yanshan reluctantly wishing to be closer to Qing’er. But given Mu Tie Mercenary Group’s limited strength, they could only bring up the rear and play a marginal role.

Thus, this temporarily gathered odd group entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Finally, after half a day’s journey, the group reached the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
