Chapter 36 - Entering The Secret Realm

Shirley did not know what Roy was doing, nor did she know that Roy and Pan Liang had already fought once.

Upon noticing Roy's glare, she glared back without hesitation.

Roy thought to himself, 'You can be arrogant now. When we get to the secret realm, you'll suffer.'

Although he did not dare to openly provoke Shirley, someone was brave enough to do so.

A sturdily-built, middle-aged man walked to Shirley's carriage.

With a smile, he said, "Little girl, if you get off your carriage and have fun with me, I'll protect you when we get to the secret realm. Otherwise...."

Shirley snorted coldly. "With your looks, how dare you provoke me. Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror first?"

She had the audacity to speak harshly to the man in front of her because she sensed that his magic power was very weak. She felt that he was no match for her.

However, she might have forgotten that not everyone in this world learned magic. There were also some people who practiced body refinement and swordsmanship...

The middle-aged man laughed sinisterly. "This is the first time in my life that I've met a girl like you who doesn't respect me. I like your character. It's only fun to be with sassy girls like you."

Roy was a little anxious when he saw this. He thought that Third Brother Wolf was also coming for the magic staff in Shirley's hand.

He quickly said to the expert beside him, "Do you want to make a move now? Someone has already gone to cause trouble for Princess Shirley."

The expert asked with a smile, "Do you think that Princess Shirley or Third Brother Wolf is easier to deal with?

"Let them deal with each other. It'll be better if Third Brother Wolf could do away with Princess Shirley. In that case, it'll be more convenient for us to snatch things from Third Brother Wolf."

Seeing Shirley's disrespectful attitude toward him, Third Brother Wolf immediately pulled out the sword on his back to attack her.

It was too late for Shirley to take out her magic staff to conjure a spell at this moment. However, Pan Liang, who was in the carriage, received a notification from the system.

[Ding! Your contract owner has been detected to be under attack. Please assist your contract owner immediately.]

Being forcefully awakened by the system, he instantly opened his eyes.

His perceptive ability instantly enveloped the entire scene. With a thought, the grass sword energy burst out from under Third Brother Wolf's feet and pierced through the soles of his feet at once.

Third Brother Wolf felt pain under his feet and lost control of the sword in his hand.

As soon as the sword fell to the ground, he hugged his feet, wailing in pain.

Shirley took the opportunity to take out her staff and cast a spell without hesitation. More than ten icicles surrounded Third Brother Wolf. If Third Brother Wolf planned to attack her, she would not hesitate to shoot the icicles at him.

The boss next to Roy saw the situation and chuckled. "Roy, did you see that? An SSS-rank character is not so easy to deal with. When we get to the secret realm, we might have to resort to sneak attacks to take down Princess Shirley."

After getting ready for the attack, Shirley glowered at Third Brother Wolf, who was under the carriage. "What are you trying to do? Hurry up and leave."

Third Brother Wolf knew that someone was helping Shirley, so he left the place and went to find someone to heal his feet.

He still needed to conserve his strength to look for treasures in the secret realm.

Just as Third Brother Wolf turned around, a channel of strong magic power came from the entrance of the secret realm.

This was the sign that the gate of the secret realm was about to open. The mercenary union set the exact timing. When it was noon, the gate of the secret realm was ready to open.

At the sight of the scene, Shirley hurriedly went into the carriage and shouted to Pan Liang, "Quickly get up. The gate of the secret realm is about to open. We have to go in quickly."

Deep down, Pan Liang sneered. Given that the secret realm was so easy to enter, there must be a trap at the gate. He should not enter first, but he could not be the last to enter either.

He decided to stall on the carriage for a while to watch the situation inside before making a decision.

Nevertheless, Shirley was not aware of it. All she thought was that Pan Liang was lazy to get up from the carriage again.

Hence, she carried him on her back and entered the secret realm. At this time, many people had already rushed in. Those people were treated as cannon fodder.

The real bigwigs were all watching outside.

Shirley, who was carrying Pan Liang, could not walk fast. Therefore, she did not go in too early. She just got in slightly faster than those who were watching.

Of course, Roy was watching from behind. He would definitely wait for Shirley to go in before he did.

"Boss, Shirley went in. Should we go in now?"

The boss rolled his eyes. "Let's go in too. Shirley took out her magic staff just now. There must be a lot of people who saw the staff and are eyeing it. Let's go in and grab the staff. Then, we'll leave this place immediately."

Roy was a little hesitant. "Boss, what about the things in the secret realm? Should we search for treasures inside?"

The boss looked disappointed. "Why do you only care about treasures? Will you be able to find any treasures worth 100,000 gold coins?

"Aren't 100,000 gold coins enough? Those gold coins are more than enough for you to live your whole life."

Roy muttered in his heart. In fact, he did not see eye to eye with the boss. He had already planned to ambush the boss to steal the magic staff.

Inside the secret realm, Shirley was stunned by the scene in front of her eyes.

Half of the people who had entered earlier had turned into corpses. Indeed, those people had helped the rest to explore the way by triggering all the traps at the entrance.

At this moment, Shirley felt a lingering fear. "Fortunately, I wasn't the first to enter. So many people died in this trap. If I was the first to enter, I might not have survived. Could Pan Liang have a foresight?"

Then, she turned around and saw Pan Liang who was sleeping soundly. She shook her head. "This guy is still sleeping like a log. He definitely doesn't know what's going on inside. Forget it. I'll just continue moving forward."

Shirley did not bring Little Liang in, thinking that it was merely an ordinary puppy.

Pan Liang was now sleeping on Shirley's back. In fact, his consciousness had begun to exist in the little poodle's mind.

He controlled the poodle to come in to find that mysterious woman.

He knew that the woman must have come in as well. The trap at the entrance was absolutely no threat to that woman.

Shirley continued to carry Pan Liang on her back. Soon, she arrived at a fork in the road and had no idea where to go.

"Pan Liang, hurry up and help me see which road I should take. There can't be a trap here, right?"

Pan Liang was speechless when he heard this. How would he know what was going on here? He would just choose any road.
