This being the main reason that they wanted to become guards, they would never let something like this go. They gorged themselves and all the food on the table were gone in no time.

  After they were done eating, they saw their employers and elders in their nonchalant demeanors and everybody looked a little embarrassed; perhaps they have acted a little too wantonly.

  That being said, if the opportunity presented itself again, they would fight over the food all over again. After all, resources like this didn’t come by too easily. Right now, even though they had just finished the food, they would immediately felt the warm glow from their body and all their weariness seemed to have gone.

  Especially the few of them who were injured earlier; they felt as though they have already recovered half way. This was simply amazing. They were both surprised and happy and right now, they were more than will to be guards for Count for life.

  After dinner, Cheng Xiao Xiao asked Old Man Ying to set up a parameter around the courtyard as she didn’t want anyone to know what was going on in there.

  This would be the first time she tried to bring in a group of individuals into the dimension at the same time; Cheng Xiao Xiao had secretly asked for little Yuteng’s help, so that nothing would go sideways.

  “Collect!”


  The fifty guards had just lined up as they were told when they heard the shout from Cheng Xiao Xiao. Before they could even react, they have that their bodies had shifted and they were somewhere different than where they were just a moment ago.

  This place was surrounded by trees going as high as 300 meters, even the weeds were as tall as a person. Vines, the width of a baby’s arm twisted around everything like giant pythons.

  These individuals had no idea what was going on, but their instinct told them that this was a very dangerous place.

  Everybody was looking at this forest, stunned. Even with their level of cultivation, they still had no idea what had just happened. They were inside the inn just a minute ago, and now there were in the middle of a forest. It was like… magic.

  They finally recollected themselves after a long while.

  Luo Yizheng’s look had already became very respectful. He asked with hesitation, “Miss, this is…”


  “If you can stay alive in this forest for a day, you have passed the test. If you don’t, then oh well, there’s nothing else for me to say!”


  “Yes, Miss!”


  As much as they were surprised, but it had seemed to natural to follow her orders.

  “Remember, you cannot take a step outside of this forest. I will be back to collect you in a day!” Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at them one more time and couldn’t be happier.

  Yes, Miss!”


  Nodded at them, Cheng Xiao Xiao flashed out of the forest. That’s where they’d be trained.

  She returned to her mansion after she had left the guards behind. By now little Yuteng had already brought Mo Xuanzun and Old Man Ying into the dimension.

  Mo Xuanzun handed the seated Cheng Xiao Xiao a glass of iced tea, smiled and said, “Xiao Xiao, are they going to be okay inside the forest?”


  “Don’t worry, they will be fine!”


  Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and said to little Yuteng, “You keep an eye out on them. They are our people after all. Don’t let any of them get hurt.”


  “Hehe, Young Mistress, don’t worry. I am just going to send the smaller beast to scare them a little. We don’t want them getting too bored now!”


  It was little Yuteng’s idea to leave the guards in the forest. Part of the reasons was to test their bravery and the other part was to have them spend a minimum amount of time within the dimension, as that would most likely create a stronger contract.”


  Naturally, Cheng Xiao Xiao would not turn down such a suggestion, “Okay, it’s up to you, but go keep an eye out. Preferably don’t let the notice you either!”


  “Don’t worry, that will never happen!” said little Yuteng before she disappeared.
