The girl stopped in her tracks and looked down at Yu Huang. Then, she glanced at Sheng Xiao. She clenched the tray in her hand and said in the Divine Moon Empire’s language, “16 years old.”

She was 16 years old, which was underage.

Yu Huang stared at the girl’s young face and her ruthless gaze. She suddenly asked, “Are you going to fight tonight too?”

The girl looked at Yu Huang in surprise. She was probably surprised that Yu Huang knew that the Eliza Mercenary Group would fight tonight. “I don’t have to fight. The regiment commander said that those under the age of 25 can’t fight today.”

Yu Huang nodded and didn’t say anything else.

On the other hand, when the girl saw that Yu Huang seemed to know a lot of insider information, she stood on the spot and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she couldn’t help but ask softly, “Miss, can I ask what mission the regiment commander and the others are going to do tonight?”

Yu Huang took a sip of tea and said, “She didn’t tell you?”

The girl shook her head. “Only the deputy regiment knows, but the deputy regiment won’t say anything.”

Yu Huang smiled, and her gaze became gentle and pitiful. “Not saying it is a form of protection for you guys.”

The girl’s eyes suddenly turned red. She held the tray tightly with her fingers and bit her lip. “Is tonight’s mission very dangerous?”

Yu Huang was silent.

Seeing this, the girl closed her eyes forcefully and left with the tray.

After she left, Sheng Xiao said, “In Rakshasa City, there are many girls who have committed crimes but have nowhere to settle down. Lucky girls can join mercenary groups and live through bloodshed. Unlucky girls can only fall into prostitution.”

Yu Huang sighed with a complicated expression. “They’re just a group of children who want to live.”

Some people were still struggling to survive. Some people were living in peace, but they were seeking death. Those who wanted to live could live anywhere, and those who wanted to die were in hell no matter where they were.

“Commander.”

Hearing the commotion outside the door, the women in the conference room stopped talking at the same time.

Eliza raised her head and said towards the door, “What happened?”

The woman outside the door said loudly, “Commander, the girl you saw on the street this afternoon is here to look for you.”

Eliza was stunned when she heard this. Then, surprise appeared on her face. “Wu Huang?”

“Yes.”

Eliza’s heart suddenly raced.

Wu Huang was a Beast Tamer. Three years ago, Eliza had personally seen Yu Huang successfully kill a Rank 6 Vermillion Bird demon beast and she even obtained a flying demon technique from its body. Now that three years had passed, Wu Huang’s cultivation level must have improved again. Why did she come looking for her now?

Eliza suddenly said to the vice regiment commanders, “I’m going to see an old friend. Let’s continue later.” With that, Eliza stood up anxiously and quickly walked out of the conference room.

Seeing that Eliza was so excited, the deputy regiment commanders looked at each other in surprise.

What kind of big shot had come?

When Eliza pushed the door open and entered, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao’s tea was still steaming.

“Wu Huang!” Eliza strode to Yu Huang. Seeing that it was really her, her rapidly beating heart suddenly calmed down. “Why are you here?” Noticing that the man who appeared beside Yu Huang was another person, Eliza asked Yu Huang, “Is this also your friend?”

Sheng Xiao looked at Yu Huang meaningfully when he heard the name Wu Huang.

Yu Huang noticed Sheng Xiao’s gaze and smiled at him helplessly. Then, she said to Eliza, “He’s not my friend. He’s my man.”

Eliza immediately revealed a surprised and ambiguous look. “You two are a match made in heaven.”

Eliza sat down on the chair opposite Yu Huang. She didn’t beat around the bush with Yu Huang and said bluntly, “I have to set off at six o’clock. There’s not much time. Wu Huang, tell me directly, why are you looking for me?”

Yu Huang liked Eliza’s straightforward personality. She glanced outside the room. Eliza noticed Yu Huang’s actions and stood up to walk out the door. She said to the little girl who served tea, “Anya, go and keep watch outside the corridor. Don’t let anyone approach.”

Anya nodded solemnly and turned to walk down the corridor.

When Eliza returned to the room, she didn’t know that Yu Huang had already set up an anti-bugging wall in the room.

As soon as Eliza sat down, she heard Yu Huang say, “We’ll go with you tonight.”
