Chapter 432 Ning Anrou's Astounding Words
Ning Anrou didn't know if she hadn't noticed Bai Mianmian's distraction.

With a smile on her face, she continued, "Actually, if Mianmian doesn't want to be the wife of the mercenary group leader, she can directly become the leader of the mercenary group."

The strength Bai Mianmian displayed today, coupled with their support, is enough for her to secure her position as the leader of their Crimson Rose Mercenary Group.

Bai Mianmian and Jiang Ci are legally married, and judging from the harmonious atmosphere between them, handing over the position of leader of the Crimson Rose Mercenary Group to her is equivalent to handing it over to Jiang Ci.

So there's nothing wrong with that.

"?!" Bai Mianmian was immediately brought back to her senses by her words.

How did this topic end up here?

Jiang Ci glanced at Ning Anrou and realized that she wasn't joking. His eyes darkened and he said in a serious voice, "Ning Anrou, don't make jokes like that."

"My uncle is the current leader of the mercenary group, and he will always be my uncle, or you may take over in the future. I will not join the Crimson Rose Mercenary Group."

Ning Anrou's smile faded, and she pouted unhappily, clearly disliking what she was hearing.

She didn't want to sit in the office every day, endlessly dealing with those boring documents.

Her burning gaze fell upon Bai Mianmian; she hoped to hear a word of agreement.

Noticing her gaze, Bai Mianmian immediately shook her head and said, "Cousin Anrou, I will not become the leader of the Crimson Rose Mercenary Group."

Although she knew she would be rejected, Ning Anrou's expression visibly lowered, but her slightly drooping eyes were fixed on Bai Mianmian's expression.

It seemed as if he was always ready to find an opportunity to continue persuading Bai Mianmian.

“It’s getting late, we should go back for dinner.” Bai Mianmian stood up decisively and turned to look at Jiang Ci.

I was originally thinking of inviting Ning Anrou home for a meal, but now it seems I should pass.

I don't want to be forced to unlock a new identity after just one meal.

“Okay.” Jiang Ci also stood up.

The person was safely returned, and he had learned what he wanted to know, so there was no need for him to stay any longer.

"Hey~!" Ning Anrou realized what was happening and tried to stop them, but then she saw the two of them quicken their pace as they walked away.

Just as Ning Anrou was about to say something, her terminal connection beeped with a notification that a new message had arrived.

The person who sent her the message was the one she wanted to keep. For a moment, she couldn't care less about keeping him and immediately activated the terminal screen to look at it.

The first message was from Jiang Ci. It read, "Count the number of mutated spiders you've killed. The spider cores will be returned soon."

Ning Anrou breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought Jiang Ci was unhappy because of what I just said, but he didn't want to say anything to Bai Mianmian, so he sent her a message.

Thankfully, it wasn't what she thought. Whew!
After reading the message from Jiang Ci, Ning Anrou felt relieved and immediately replied.

'The crystal cores don't need to be returned. Consider them payment for Mianmian and the others saving us. Remember, give Mianmian a larger share of the crystal cores.'

After Jiang Ci appeared in the forest, she knew that the people who called Bai Mianmian "sister-in-law" were from the Second Legion.

Therefore, there will be absolutely no problem for Jiang Ci to distribute the crystal cores that were taken by the Second Legion.

After sending the message, Ning Anrou immediately began to mentally estimate how many B-grade or higher mutated spiders they had killed.

Are those crystal cores enough as payment?
Lost in thought, he didn't hesitate to open the message from Bai Mianmian. "I'll go to the forest to collect sunflower seeds again tomorrow. I'll share some with you after I've processed them in a few days."

Bai Mianmian: So, I'll be very busy these next few days. You should also keep busy and don't come looking for me.

Ning Anrou, who had been looking down at the terminal screen, suddenly looked up and saw Bai Mianmian and Jiang Ci's figures disappearing through the doorway.

Bai Mianmian hadn't gone far when she received a reply from Ning Anrou: "Okay."

She breathed a sigh of relief. She had been really worried that Ning Anrou would come looking for her and continue to talk about making her the leader of the Crimson Rose Mercenary Group.

Whether those words were serious or a joke, she didn't want to listen anymore.

It wasn't that she was afraid of being unable to resist the temptation of controlling a mercenary group; she simply didn't want to get involved with someone else's power, and well, she wouldn't.

She always took care of herself.

Mind your own business?
No!
She's quite adept at making others afraid of her and avoid her when they see her from afar.

Bai Mianmian, who was very self-aware, originally thought she wouldn't see Ning Anrou again in the next few days.

Unexpectedly, the next day, as soon as she flew out of the Second Legion's base, she saw Ning Anrou standing alone in the distance.

Bai Mianmian: "..."

"Sister-in-law Mianmian~" Ning Anrou waved and greeted her with a bright smile.

"Sister-in-law, wait for us!" At this moment, Luo Ziyu, Zhang Weitao, and a large group of people flew out of the exit and chased after Bai Mianmian.

"Cousin Anrou, what brings you here? Aren't you busy today?" Bai Mianmian flew up to Ning Anrou and stopped, asking directly.

Didn't a lot of their people die yesterday?

Is it really alright for Ning Anrou, the team leader, to be here at this time?

As Bai Mianmian stopped to talk to Ning Anrou, Luo Ziyu and the others also stopped behind her, looking at Ning Anrou with curiosity in their eyes.

This is my sister-in-law's cousin!
Seemingly understanding what Bai Mianmian was asking, Ning Anrou's smile faded slightly. She said, "It's nothing, I took care of everything after I got back yesterday."

Perhaps fearing Bai Mianmian would think she was cold-blooded, Ning Anrou offered a brief explanation, saying:

"Casualties are common during missions. We have provided ample compensation and arrangements for the deceased team members, and their families will also receive preferential treatment in job placement."

As for her, she was sad, but not overly so. After all, she had experienced so much that it was difficult for her to feel sadness.

Bai Mianmian showed little emotion towards Ning Anrou's explanations, and continued, "So, what's Anrou doing today...?"

You don't mean you want to go with them to harvest sunflower seeds, do you?

Going together is fine, as long as she doesn't bring up yesterday's topic again.

Ning Anrou's smile returned, and she said, "I heard that the Second Legion people like to eat insectoids. I have a thousand catties of octopus insectoids here. I wonder if you want them?"

Luo Ziyu and the others' eyes lit up instantly, and someone couldn't help but say, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhang Weitao quickly asked with a smile, "How do you want to sell it? Do you want crystal cores? Or star coins? Or something else?"

Ning Anrou smiled and shook her head at him, saying, "No need, it's a gift for you, as a way to thank you for your help yesterday."

Yesterday, she recalled that they hadn't killed many B-level spiders, and the crystal cores weren't enough as a reward. So, one of the reasons she came today was to deliver the reward.
