"Someone as beautiful and generous as Vivian, with her exceptional talents and background, is the object of their admiration, yet now she had been treated frivolously by someone. How could they not be angry?"
Although they felt shock and rage, faced with Ye Chen who was capable of killing even an Innate Demonic Beast, they could not help but shudder, daring not to make any moves.
And Vivian, caught off guard by Ye Chen’s sudden, lover-like intimacy, blushed charmingly on her delicate cheeks, never expecting Ye Chen to be so bold as to feed her in public, when they were not lovers.
But when she saw the clear and flawless look in Ye Chen’s eyes, she knew it was just an unintentional act.
Vivian gently chewed on the meat slice, finding it sweet, juicy, fragrant, and leaving a pleasant aftertaste behind. She sincerely said, "It’s really good."
Ye Chen nodded, picking up a piece of meat to taste for himself, finding it indeed very delicious, then said to Vivian, "If you’d like to eat, feel free. Consider it an additional benefit from buying the Innate Giant Crocodile."
Vivian hesitated initially, but did not decline. After hesitating for a while, she finally spoke, "Sir, could you give me some more? My companions..."
"Feel free," Ye Chen, knowing Vivian was also thinking of her other companions from Xiafeng Academy, did not stop her from taking more meat, as he knew she would not dare to eat too much.
Moreover, the price of two hundred thousand Gold Coins was much more than the worth of the Innate Giant Crocodile’s body. He didn’t mind sharing some of the bear meat for them to taste.
Hearing this, Vivian was overjoyed, took out an exquisite jade bowl, took a lot of bear meat, and with Ye Chen’s permission, she even got a basin, filling it generously with bear meat, the fragrance overflowing, which all the elite disciples shared amongst themselves.
The leader of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, although tempted, and the other mercenaries alike yearned for it but none dared to speak out. Since the mysterious young man had not offered explicitly, they could only watch, swallowing their saliva, while tasting their own coarse dry food, bitter one mouthful after another.
Such was the difference between people.
After a satisfying meal of bear meat, everyone from Xiafeng Academy relished the lingering taste, enjoying a feast of bear meat they would never forget for a lifetime.
Similarly, without a word, Ye Chen quietly packed up all his tools and turned to leave. At that moment, a pleasant fragrance approached him; it was Vivian.
She moved gracefully closer to Ye Chen, her beautiful hair fluttering in the wind, "Sir, are you leaving now?"
Ye Chen nodded in affirmation.
Vivian was silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "Sir, may I ask for your esteemed name?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "There’s no need for you to know that. We are merely passersby to each other. What my name is does not matter, and we may never meet again."
Ye Chen’s refusal caught Vivian off guard, and for some unknown reason, a hint of sadness flashed in the depths of her eyes.
Finally, at the moment of farewell, Ye Chen suddenly asked, "Are you planning to stay in the Demon Beast Mountain Range?"
Vivian, hearing Ye Chen speak up, immediately smiled, a different kind of charm radiating from her, "We’ve obtained the body of an Innate Demonic Beast, we don’t plan to stay long. We’ll pick a few Spiritual Medicines and will leave in a few days."
Ye Chen advised, "It’s best to leave the Demon Beast Mountain Range as soon as possible, otherwise it’ll be troublesome when you try to retreat later."
Vivian’s expression changed, "Why?"
"Because the most terrifying Demon Beast chaos is about to occur, by then no one knows how many lives will be devastated, so I advise you to leave early."
Everyone’s faces turned pale!
In history, every occurrence of Demon Beast chaos represented a massive disaster, affecting countless people, causing horrific devastation.
During the chaos, countless Demon Beasts from the Demon Beast Mountain Range will madly rush towards human towns, wreaking havoc and destruction, leading to Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea, a disaster of natural calamity proportions.
Each occurrence was a massive loss. Even though Xiafeng Country had hundreds of thousands of heavily armed troops stationed there all year round to suppress and resist the Demon Beast chaos, there were still extremely severe casualties. This is no exaggeration.
It is safe to say that this is one of the most dreaded events throughout Xiafeng Country.
Whether it was the elites from Xiafeng Academy or members of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, their faces turned ashen upon hearing this, some were even frightened pale.
Vivian, seeing that Ye Chen seemed genuine, couldn’t help but ask, "Young master, how did you know this?"
Ye Chen replied, "You don’t need to know this. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
Although people did not want to believe it, Ye Chen, being a respected figure, did not seem to be lying or having any reason to deceive them, because there was no necessity.
However, just by thinking of the words "Demon Beast chaos," many couldn’t help but tremble in terror, as if they had already foreseen the horrific Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea.
"I’ve given my advice, whether you stay or leave is up to you." After dropping that remark, Ye Chen strode away until his figure completely disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Others couldn’t help but ask Vivian, who was the leader of the group from Xiafeng Academy and had hired the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group. At this moment, they all awaited her command.
Vivian said, "Given the situation, it’s best to leave the Demon Beast Mountain Range quickly. This mysterious young master is probably not lying, and there’s no reason for him to. Besides, there’s no need to stay. We’ve already obtained the Innate Demonic Beast’s body, so we can head back to Academy to report the completion of the mission."
This decision was unanimously agreed upon by everyone, perhaps ultimately because of Ye Chen’s words.
The impact of the Demon Beast chaos was too great for them, and many of them couldn’t wait to leave the Demon Beast Mountain Range immediately, fearing that the chaos might descend upon them at any moment.
"We should not delay, let’s leave as soon as possible!"
Vivian commanded and immediately led the group, carrying the body of the Innate Giant Crocodile, quickly moving outside the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
From a tall tree far away, Ye Chen silently stood at the tip, watching Vivian and her group leaving, remaining silent for a long time...
