Interstellar Businesswoman Tycoon
The direction the Gluttony monkey leader gave was near a place with rocky mountains. As soon as Sylvia and the others arrived at the location, they were stunned by the scenery before them. A waterfall! It wasn't just that, the amount of natural energy encasing the whole place was very dense. This is definitely a treasure trove. “Wow,” Atlas exclaimed out loud. He could see the surrounding natural energy trying to seep into the pores of his skin. Just by breathing in the air, he felt his body becoming stronger by the second. “I don't believe those monkeys would give up this treasure place. I suspect that there must be a guardian beast nearby, protecting this place.” “I also think so, too.” Tyron agreed with Atlas's words. He didn't believe that the Gluttony monkey leader would easily reveal the location of this place to them without any hidden danger nearby. “Let's search around the place first. If there's any abnormality, we can retreat right away.” Everyone began to inspect the area. As the seconds went by, Tyron's eyes kept getting brighter and brighter. They've looked around the entire place, yet not a single beast can be found. Not even a bird. Tyron was too dumbfounded right now. How can a treasure trove like this not have a beast protecting it? This was too good to be true. “Let's find a place to camp and meditate. The energy here would be very beneficial to our body.” “Yes.” No one refused Tyron's decision. A flat ground area was soon located among the rocky mountains, and they set up their tents. At this time, Miley came to Sylvia's side. “Sylvia, I found that there is a private hot spring cave nearby. Do you want to take a bath together?” Sylvia thought about it for a moment and nodded. She has been wandering around the wilds for a long time without taking a proper bath. So she was starting to feel irritated. Though it's quite usual for mercenaries to go unwashed for a long time, since the survival situation in the wilds doesn't bring the opportunity to take a clean bath. Sylvia and the others were just lucky to come across this mountain spring due to the goodwill of the Gluttony monkeys. Or was it actually goodwill? [Host, there's a second energy mixed with the natural energy in this place. If much of it is absorbed into the body, it will cause the energy inside the body to turn chaotic, which will eventually lead to an explosion. Wow, that Gluttony Monkey leader is so cruel to wants to give you all a quick death sentence.] Hearing Susu's words, Sylvia's expression became pale. Why? That's because she has already absorbed some energy into her body. Even if she wants to stop her actions, the energy continues to seep into her body. Perhaps detecting her fear, Susu's next word came. [Don't worry, host. I've already absorbed the chaotic energy in the air. Although it's deadly for both humans and beasts, it's all nutrients for me. Isn't that great?] 'Yes, it is.' Sylvia let out a sigh of relief and praised the system.If it weren't for him, all of them would have lost their lives unknowingly. The wild is so dangerous that one shouldn't let down their guard for any moment. And the most crucial lesson is to never trust any intelligent beasts out there. Sylvia looked up at Tyron, who was still rejoicing about discovering this place. She shook her head in dismay. He definitely had no idea that he had almost crossed a path with death. “What's wrong?” Miley, who saw the change in Sylvia's expression, asked. “Nothing.” Sylvia shook her head. Once she was done setting up her tent, she followed Miley to the private hot spring she had found. There were two hot spring caves, precisely. One was in the open ground while the other was in a well-secluded corner. Sylvia followed Miley towards the secluded cave. “Who would have thought that there's such a big waterfall hot spring mountain inside the wilds,” Miley said while glancing at the weeds growing around the cave. A sorry expression soon emerged on her beautiful face. “It's such a pity that there aren't any herbs growing inside the cave. Now that I think of it, don't you think it's quite strange that no treasure has been born in this place despite the abundance of natural energy here? It's very strange, indeed.” Miley held her chin in a thoughtful look. However, no matter how much she racked her brain to find an answer, she couldn't arrive at any. “Well, let's just forget it and enjoy our bath.” Eager to jump into the hot spring, Miley began to remove her dress. 'Ah!' The loud scream caused Sylvia to cover her ears in pain.Inside her subconsciousness, a certain system was muttering. [I didn't see anything. I really didn't see anything.] Susu covered his non-existent eyes and continued to mumble to himself. Sylvia felt like giving someone a smack on the head. Can't you at least give me a heads-up before you scream inside my head? Thankfully, Miley's back was facing Sylvia, so she didn't notice the latter's actions. 'Splash.' Water splashed across the air, hitting the ground below Sylvia's foot. Miley's head emerged from the water, and she swept her wet hair backward. “Wow, this is so refreshing. Come on, jump in.” She gestured at Sylvia. “It's so good to be inside the water.” “Okay.” Sylvia also began to take off her dress and jumped into the water smoothly. Just as Miley says, being inside the water was truly refreshing. Her already starving pores opened and began to swallow the natural energy around her greedily. Sylvia couldn't help but close her eyes in content while enjoying the feeling. But at instant, they were suddenly flipped open. Before her was Miley, who was staring intently at her. “You. What are you doing?” Sylvia hurriedly wrapped her arms around her chest. Although she didn't understand why, she felt a chill when she saw Miley staring at her like that. “Your skin is so smooth. What skincare do you use to make them this good? Take a look at mine, it's so rough and dark.” Miley stretches her hands forward, comparing her skin with Sylvia's. Sylvia's body finally relaxed when she saw that Miley was only asking about her skincare routine. Unfortunately, she wasn't a beauty fanatic and barely used any skincare products.“Tell this sister your secret product.” Miley stared at Sylvia with eagerness. “That… I don't think I have any secret routine. I just make use of the all-body wash every day. Likewise, I think the reason why your skin is different from mine is because you've spent a lot of time outside the wilderness than I do.” Sylvia was telling the truth. The environment inside the wilds was very harsh and not suitable for the human body. So the more a mercenary spends outside, the greater the burden on their body. Take Tyron, Walker, and the others for example, their skin was also dark and rough. “You are right about that.” Miley seems to realize this and then switched the topic to something else. Basically, she was the one speaking while Sylvia would only chip in for a bit.
