Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Many people entered Qin City in the next 2 days. A train of carriages formed a long line as they entered the city.

Whether it was in the morning, afternoon, or night, they went into the city without being stopped by guards stationed near the gate. The citizens, who were busy with their day-to-day life, were anxious because many martial artists were coming in and out of the city.

Subsidiary clans and Sects allied with Tang Clan gathered in the city to form an army under Tang Jiaofu’s command. A few of them entered the city together with Tang Clan’s warriors and they wore Tang Clan’s emblems proudly as they marched through the street.

Just outside the city wall, amidst the long line of carriage, a strange sound everyone not familiar with rang.

Vroom! Vroom!

The sound was similar to an angry beast roaring. But it was too mechanical to be one. Everyone’s attention suddenly turned around. A cloud of dust billowed from the horizon and rushed towards the city at lightning speed.

"What is that?"

"Demonic beast?! I swear that’s a demonic beast!"

"Is that Death Cart? Those filthy lovers of the dead!"

Everyone was surprised and scared of the foreign object rushing towards them. The guards on the walls hurriedly put their bows up, ready to fire at the incoming threat.

However, they were stopped by someone before they could release their arrows.

"Hold on! That’s not a demonic beast! It’s just a transport vehicle that I own."

A man dressed strangely spoke in a voice that could be heard by everyone. He walked out of the gate. The black suit made him look unique as it stood out amongst the crowd, causing people to lower their guard against him. They recognized him.

"Thunder God..."

"It’s Thunder God."

"I heard he fought Wandering Sword Saint equally."

"You’re kidding."

Leo smiled slightly at the murmurs around him as he walked calmly towards the approaching vehicle. He quickly recognized it from the shining black surface and the sound alone. It was his beloved bike. The design looked similar to the one in his past life, a Panigale V4.

He immediately saw his companion riding it with a confident smile on her face. She had tied her hair into a ponytail. On top of her usual tight business suit, Jessica wore a black leather jacket. The jacket and hair fluttered as the wind blew by her body. Her pink-tinted glasses glistened under the sunlight as she spotted him. She waved her hand and immediately stopped in front of him.

The guards’ eyes widened in surprise as they saw the vehicle coming to a halt with the slightest movement of the handle.

"Good morning, Leader. I came here as fast as I could." She asked him while smiling warmly with her hair swaying gently in the air. "I brought what you asked me to bring."

She pulled a small capsule from her pocket and handed it to Leo. He took it and looked at the capsule.

[Plasma Railgun]

Reading the words written on it, Leo smiled in satisfaction and nodded his head. If someone like Wandering Sword Saint appeared again, he would use this to create a hole in their head. Surely they wouldn’t come out unscratched, right?

He threw the capsule into the air before catching it again.

"Good work, Jessica. Let me tell you what we’re going to do today." He said to her while stroking the bike he hadn’t ridden for a long time, "It’s been a long time since I ride this. How about we talk while riding? Based on the map I found, there is a beautiful cliff near this city."

"That would be wonderful, Leader."

Jessica hopped onto the back to allow Leo to drive it. Her chest was pressing against his back while her hands snaked around his waist, making Leo sigh at her obvious action. But he didn’t push her away as he enjoyed it.

"Put on a helmet."

With a voice command, his bodysuit reconfigured into a black helmet and a tinted visor covered his face. He took a deep breath as he savored the feeling of riding the beast again after so long. He looked up and gazed into the sky, allowing a strong feeling to fill his heart before letting it go in a flash.

"Let’s go."

As if on cue, he activated the engine and rode off in the same way as Jessica did earlier, leaving a cloud of dust behind them. Many people gasped at the speed the black object moved, disappearing in the matter of seconds even on a slightly uneven dirt road.

"A phantom stead!" Someone exclaimed in shock when he saw Leo and Jessica drive away. The others also gasped in surprise at his reaction. "That’s the Thunder God’s phantom stead."

"How fast..."

"Hey, quickly. Report it to the Sect."

"Young Master Tang Yao needs to know this."

People from various backgrounds hurriedly ran toward their leaders to report what happened. They seemed excited by what they saw.

Meanwhile, Leo laughed as he went full throttle, accelerating even faster and reaching the maximum speed the bike could achieve in short bursts of 1 second each before slowing down to 100 km/h, then back up to full throttle.

"It’s fun." He smiled as he drove toward the cliff that could be seen in the distance. "I will explain it now, so listen well."

"Yes."

Leo began to explain the job he received from Tang Yao, the problem, and the possibility of how it would end.

Jessica listened quietly while noting everything in her mind.

Time passed quickly. Before long, they reached their destination.

A valley that separated Sichuan and Shaanxi province was located here, not far from Qin City. Leo drove up the cliff, leaving a long line of dust behind them as they raced towards it. At the peak of the cliff, Leo finally slowed down his bike before stopping it completely. He parked it and controlled his bodysuit, making the helmet recede.

"We’ve arrived, Jessica." He turned around only to see her face close to his. She kissed him on his lips when their eyes met, stealing a quick peck.

"Sorry, Leader. I missed you so much." She apologized as her face reddened slightly after she got off the bike. Her gaze lingered on his face.

Smiling softly, Leo shook his head as he caressed her cheek before moving forward to kiss her again, "You should have told me. I also missed home. There are many things happening in Qin City, so... Will you share your warmth a little bit?"

Hearing that, Jessica smiled and leaned forward.

"Gladly. Anything for you."
