Chapter 604: Ugly Women V.S. Pretty Women
Translator: Sissy That Walk
After asking others, they knew that the young man was one receptionist of the alliance, known as a Jack of all trades, Junior Li.
Different from others who showed contempt or tried to stay away when seeing the ugly look of Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er, Junior Li showed great professionalism. He warmly asked them to register and even inquired about their basic information in a patient manner.
“What are your names? What about your age and level of power? Do you have familiar mercenary groups here? Are you alchemists?”
Junior Li asked in a chummy manner.
“I am Lan Lan and this is my sister Black Moon. She is holding her spiritual beast Er Hei.” Lan Cai’er made up 3 names and only saw Little Squeak rolling its eyes.
“We all come from another place. My sister and I are warriors in the Dan Realm, but we are not alchemists. It is the first time for us to serve as mercenaries. We have come here since we heard that the City of Mercenaries is full of opportunities.” Lan Cai’er was the daughter of a military officer. No wonder her tone showed full boldness and forthrightness.
Seeing her casualness, Junior Li had no doubts and wrote down the information.
“Brother Li, we have just arrived. We want to join a mercenary group but don’t know which one has vacancy.” Ye Lingyue said randomly.
She heard that some short-handed mercenary groups would admit some independent soldiers from outside.
They had just arrived and hardly knew anything about the situation here. If some old mercenary groups could lead the way, it would be much more convenient.
“Mercenary groups have their organizations, especially large ones. Unless there is recommendation, they will not admit green hands. However, some small mercenary teams may be short of hands sometimes. I have several mercenary teams available and they are right trying to recruit new members. Please wait a moment. I will ask them whether they want to admit you.”
Junior Li said with a smile, but he knew clearly that there two female mercenary soldiers had a rare chance of being selected.
Female mercenaries accounted for only 20% to 30% of the total. Among the 20% or 30%, only several kinds of female soldiers were popular.
One was female alchemists who could make pills, produce weapons and cure wounds. They might be not so powerful but could help a lot. Hence, they would be soon selected when appearing in the Alliance of Mercenaries.
The second was female mercenaries with spiritual beasts. Those with powerful beasts were especially popular since they could match two in a fight. Black Moon with a pitch-black face also had a spiritual beast. But it seemed to have no ability other than eating. Thus, Black Moon did not belong to this category.
The final was young and beautiful female mercenaries.
When men saw beautiful women, whether they were mercenaries or not, they would be enchanted completely.
The job of mercenaries was in itself risky and dangerous. When they were trying to accomplish tasks, it would be better to get along with sexy beauties than to look at several ugly women all along.
That was why Junior Li asked whether they were female alchemists just now.
Since the answer was no, Lan Lan and Black Moon belonged to none of the three categories.
While Junior Li promised to help them, he knew deep inside that the two might have to wait long in the Alliance of Mercenaries before they were selected.
As Junior Li expected, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er kept waiting in the alliance. Some mercenary group leaders came and glimpsed at the two but found their look disgusting. Hence, the leaders did not bother to take a second look, let alone admitting the two.
Soon, there came some other female soldiers.
They were young, sexy and charming. One of them twisted her snake-like waist and moved forward to Junior Li.
“Junior Li, please help us register. We three sisters want to undertake tasks.” Junior Li answered yes but then continued, “Ms. Xia, but there are two girls Lan Lan and Black Moon waiting before you. According to the order, we will recommend them first if some mercenary teams ask for more hands.”
The three soldiers were surnamed Xia. They earned some fame due to their beauty. It was said that their father was a core follower of a certain sect.
Prominent status plus good appearance and high level of power made such female mercenaries quite popular wherever they went.
The speaker was Xia Meng and her two sisters were Xia Yin and Xia Qing. Xia Meng was a Seven Cauldron female alchemist while Xia Yin and Xia Qing were female warriors in the Dan realm. Considering their young age, they could be called talents.
They had been mercenary soldiers for 2 or 3 years and gained great popularity in the city. They had been members of a Level-1 mercenary group. Somehow, they withdrew recently and became independent soldiers.
“They two? Haha, you must be kidding, Junior Li. Only blind men will choose them.” Although she knew that Junior Li was following the right rules, Xia Meng felt offended. Why were she and her sisters placed behind those two ugly women?
“Ms. Xia, you had better follow the rules.” Junior Li explained with an apologetic smile.
Then the three female soldiers sat opposite Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er.
“Haha, they are called Lan Lan and Black Moon. I think it is better to call them Ugly Monster and Black Coal.” The three pretty female soldiers looked at Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er and burst out laughing.
Hearing these words, Lan Cai’er clenched her fist and flew into a rage. If Ye Lingyue had not tipped her a wink, reminding her to calm down, she would dash forward and teach the three a good lesson.
After a while, there came several mercenary teams looking for new members.
The team leaders were soon impressed by the appearance of the three sisters and moved forward to invite them in.
But the three sisters were as proud as peacocks and they simply disregarded the invitation of the teams.
Then the teams could not but move away.
“Sir, these two girls are also looking for suitable mercenary teams. Please take a look.” Junior Li grasped this opportunity to recommend Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er.
“They? Are you kidding? Seeing them will make me vomit.” One of the team leaders said impatiently. They left after selecting two male soldiers randomly.
The reaction of other mercenary teams was almost the same. After a long while, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er were still uncared for.
The three sisters glimpsed at Ye Lingyue sarcastically.
“Hey, ugly monsters. You’d better get out of here. People like you will never be admitted.” The three sisters laughed loudly.
