Chapter 1 Strange Dream

"Lingxuan".

A gentle, clear voice sounded in my ear, "Clearly you like it too."

The next moment, I felt a moist sensation on my lips.

A faint scent of pine filled the air as she watched those large, calloused hands gently caress her cheek.

There was an indescribable tenderness in his dark eyes.

This gentleness was like water, as if it would drown Bai Lingxuan in it at any moment.

"May I?"

……

"No."

Bai Lingxuan suddenly opened her eyes, her fair face showing fear.

How could she have such an absurd dream!
Thinking of the scene in her dream, Bai Lingxuan's face immediately turned red.

Why was this dream so real, so real that she remembered every detail of it?
The feeling of those rough fingers tracing her cheek was so real!

And those affectionate eyes... The more Bai Lingxuan thought about it, the faster her heart beat.

"impossible!"

Bai Lingxuan muttered to herself, "I don't even have anyone I like, so why would I have such a dream?"

As the saying goes, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night, but she didn't have that thought, so she shouldn't have had this bizarre dream.

"I can't think about it!"

Bai Lingxuan's face turned as red as an apple, and her heart was pounding so fast that her breathing became unsteady.

"Lingxuan, are you awake? The guild leader has accepted a King-level mission, we're about to set off."

A soft, gentle female voice sounded from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lingxuan said, "Okay, I understand. Pack your things and I'll be there soon."

Bai Lingxuan got up, threw most of the clothes in the wardrobe into her spatial ring, and then opened the door and went out.

Bai Lingxuan arrived at the lobby on the first floor with a sullen face.

They were in a two-story villa, with a large balcony on the second floor that was over thirty square meters in size.

Bai Lingxuan's demon-hunting team is the King-level No. 3 demon-hunting team.

Their team consists of six people.

Their leader is Yu Yan, an eighth-tier, fifth-level guardian knight.

The deputy leader is Cong Xuan, an eighth-tier, level four berserker.

The mage is Lan Tingnan, a seventh-tier Grand Magister from the renowned Lan family of the Magic Temple.

The summoner is Yun Xianglu, a peak seventh-tier plant-type summoner.

The assassin is Qu Wu from the famous Qu family, a renowned family of assassins within the Assassin Temple. She is the pride of the Assassin Temple.

As for Bai Lingxuan herself, she comes from the famous Bai family of the Priest Temple and is the pride of the Priest Temple.

She reached the 8th Order, 3rd Rank before she was thirty years old, and was a cardinal priest of the temple.

Bai Lingxuan saw the five of them sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor.

"You came."

Yu Yan is a man with black hair and black eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he rarely smiles.

He is the oldest of the six, at 38 years and 3 months old.

The person one month younger than him is Lan Tingnan, who is thirty-eight years and two months old.

"I accepted five killing missions and one exploration mission."

Yu Yan slowly said, "The killing missions are to kill ten Golden Bird Demons, two Lord Jacques, three Demon Commanders with cultivation levels of Rank 8 or above, fifteen Bloodthirsty Berserkers of Rank 7, and three hundred Beta Flying Demons of Rank 5 or above."

Killing missions, as the name suggests, are missions primarily focused on killing, and their targets are mostly powerful individuals.

"The exploration mission is an anomaly within the province of Garo, and the merit value is 200,000."

With the addition of 300,000 merit points from five killing missions, their team can be upgraded to an Emperor-level Demon Hunter Team upon completing this mission.

Their team has been together for over ten years, and the members have a very close relationship.

Upgrading to an Emperor-level Demon Hunter Team requires ten million merit points.

They are just 500,000 merit points away from becoming an Emperor-level Demon Hunter Team.

They are determined to become the third titled demon hunter team in the alliance!
They have been working towards this goal for years. "This journey involves the three major provinces of the Demon Clan: Narik Province, Garo Province, and Yak Province. We will depart from the Demon-Exorcising Mountain Range of Exorcism Pass, passing through the Demon Clan city of Demon Forest along the way."

Molin City is a city in the province of Garo, located in the northern part of the province.

The province of Garo is the territory of the Leopard Demon Clan of Ose, whose demon god tribe is the Leopard Demon Clan.

"Because the mission spans a long period, we need to prepare a year's worth of food. The purchasing work is entrusted to you, Lingxuan."

His gaze fell on Bai Lingxuan.

Bai Lingxuan, who comes from a priestly background, is a thoughtful and meticulous person.

She was in charge of managing all the team's internal procurement and other expenses.

Even the merit points were controlled by Bai Lingxuan.

"Okay, Captain."

Bai Lingxuan readily agreed, her bright eyes filled with a smile.

"Qu Wu, Ting Nan, please assist Ling Xuan. We will depart in three days."

"Yes."

They agreed in unison.

After a quick breakfast, Bai Lingxuan led Qu Wu and Lan Tingnan toward the market in the Holy City.

The three of them purchased a total of 3,000 jin of fresh meat, 3 tons of fresh water, and 3,000 jin of fresh vegetables. They stored the food in their spatial rings to ensure it wouldn't expire.

Their team's equipment is all of the highest quality.

To enhance the team's combat effectiveness, all six of them used legendary-grade weapons.

After Bai Lingxuan finished shopping, she returned to their residence, a two-story villa.

Yu Yan stood in the lobby on the first floor, his gaze fixed on them.

"You're back so soon."

Yu Yan's voice is magnetic, like the tinkling sound of a spring.

"Yes, Captain."

Bai Lingxuan responded with a relaxed smile on her face.

"Get some rest, we'll be leaving tomorrow."

Yu Yan glanced at them, then looked away.

They still have a lot to do.

"Lingxuan, come here quickly."

Yun Xianglu smiled and spoke gently to Bai Lingxuan.

Yun Xianglu is a fair-skinned, beautiful blonde with slightly wavy hair and a pair of deep, beautiful blue eyes.

She wore a blue robe covered with heavy runes.

Yun Xianglu has a cheerful personality, like the sun embracing everyone, and is the team's confidante.

She is eight years older than Bai Lingxuan.

"What's wrong, Sister Yun?"

Bai Lingxuan asked with a puzzled look, her bright black eyes filled with surprise.

Because Bai Lingxuan is the youngest member of the team, everyone treats her like a younger sister.

"I heard the Bai family is worried about your marriage."

Yun Xianglu touched her lips, a mischievous glint in her blue eyes, "I just wonder which outstanding young man will catch your eye~"

She was just teasing Bai Lingxuan.

Bai Lingxuan is only twenty-nine years old this year, which is very young among the geniuses of the human race.

As wars between humans and demons became more frequent, some exceptionally talented individuals would leave offspring before entering the battlefield in order to ensure the future of humanity.

In their early twenties, most people are old enough to be parents.

As a result, Bai Lingxuan could not escape being pressured by her parents to get married.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lingxuan shook her head and said softly, "Sister Yun, please stop teasing me."

"I don't have that idea at the moment."

"I'm still young, I should focus on my career."
