Chapter 573: Chapter 574 Night Talk_1

"Have you really let it go?"

Feng Yuan, sprawled out on Xiao Ji, glanced at the middle-aged man and said calmly, after scanning him, the middle-aged man said with a hint of amusement,

"What do I have to let go of? You say the most interesting things."

"You know what those mountain bandits are after. Although you seem unconcerned... the insignia on your amulet is exclusive to the Nanyu Royal Court, you know."

Without even looking at the man, Feng Yuan continued to lie on Xiao Ji and said that the insignia was brought up previously by Wei Dingwu, who had mentioned that the patterns on Nanyu Kingdom’s jade ornaments had specific regulations, and the Royal Court’s insignia was the most special, not to be used by ordinary people at their discretion.

"Cough cough, why are you all looking at it so closely?"

"What do those mountain bandits have to do with me? If the sky falls, there are tall ones to hold it up. Why should I worry?"

"Let’s go."

Feng Yuan patted Xiao Ji’s back lightly and said. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji slowly got up, shook its body carefully, and looked towards Mo Li. Liu Wenli sized up the middle-aged man thoughtfully, and after a moment, she asked,

"Do you want to come with us?"

"Yo~ you’re quite the interesting kid, inviting everyone you meet to join you?"

Liu Wenli gave a slight smile without explaining; she knew the other party must have guessed her intentions. Feng Yuan, still on Xiao Ji’s back, said discontentedly,

"Have you really taken a liking to me?"

"Because you are the greatest hope I can see."

"I thought you would make some excuse."

"Do you think excuses would help with you?"

Feng Yuan said smugly,

"You’re right~ they wouldn’t~"

"Isn’t that the end of it then?"

The middle-aged man teased,

"Little kid, are you falling for him and want to chase after him?"

"Not at the moment."

"Tch, as if I’d fall for you."

Liu Wenli glanced at Feng Yuan and said seriously,

"Whether you look down on me is your concern, whether I like you is mine."

"Aren’t you leaving?"

Guo Huai turned back and saw Liu Wenli still standing there and couldn’t help but ask aloud. Feng Yuan buried his head in Xiao Ji’s feathers, looking ready to rest. Liu Wenli glanced at the middle-aged man and, without saying more, followed the departing Xiao Ji. As he watched the others leave, the middle-aged man smiled and said,

"Youth is nice. Watching them as if the world revolves around their will makes me envious~"

The white monkey gently patted the middle-aged man’s back, as if to comfort him. Laughing, the man stood up, pulled out his halberd, looked at the devastated battlefield, and muttered quietly,

"I don’t even know when I gave up. Is there really still hope..."

"What are you doing?"

Observing the black fragments floating near the wooden camp, Guo Huai asked with some puzzlement. Those small pieces of the Black Wolf God Greatsword floated in the air, emanating a daunting pressure, slowly circling around the camp. Everyone knew better than to underestimate those fragments. During the day when they battled the mountain bandits, those fragments had turned into black streams of destruction, ravaging a large portion of the battlefield.

No matter how the mountain bandits defended, they couldn’t stop the terrifying black destruction stream. The broken Black Wolf God Greatsword, with only the hilt remaining, also floated above the campsite, with black energy forming the blade exuding a dark glow in the night that should not be visible but was perceptible.

"Guarding against those mountain bandits?"

Whether it was Liu Wenli or Hua Yiyou, they could guess Feng Yuan’s intention. As for the White Wolf Deity? Not to mention that it almost never intervenes, and even if it did, the appearance of Divine Beasts in Nanyu Kingdom is not a good sign. In desperate times, who knows what might happen. Mo Li and the others had no ties to Nanyu Kingdom; they didn’t need to add to their risks. Although Liu Wenli might have other ideas, she was not aware of the White Wolf Deity’s power.

"Isn’t that obvious?"

Feng Yuan said and glanced at the three Vine Turtles beside Hua Yiyou. Perhaps because of thorough research, Hua Yiyou easily got the two Vine Turtles to like him with just some food. Because of the food, the first Vine Turtle even seemed jealous, constantly looking at Hua Yiyou with aggrieved eyes.

Xiao Ji looked mysteriously at the competing Vine Turtles. At this moment, it remembered the Dreaming Dragon Baby and wondered how it was doing. Xiao Ji, reverted to its true form, wandered leisurely outside the cabin and looked at the sky, which was now obscured by clouds, seeing nothing.

Sitting in a chair and popping a sweet cake into his mouth, Feng Yuan looked puzzledly at Xiao Ji and thought for a moment before deciding not to approach. Mo Ling curiously watched Liu Wenli and Amon adeptly making desserts while Yao Yin prepared food and said,

"You’re not planning on replacing dinner with sweets, are you?"

Looking at the busy guards, Liu Wenli stirred the sauce and said,

"They don’t need my help over there. Making some desserts is just right."

"Don’t you need to rest?"

"No need."

"That person named Liu Wenli, what exactly does she want to do?"

In Feng Yuan’s room, Yao Yin asked quietly, teasing the flock of small messenger birds, while Feng Yuan absentmindedly said

"She wants me to help her save Nanyu."

"Save Nanyu? You couldn’t possibly agree, right?"

"Of course, doing so would have too great an impact on history."

Thinking of Yuehu Town, Yao Yin silently said after a moment,

"Really, we can’t intervene?"

"What about it?"

"Many people will die, right..."

"So what? If every time I see someone pitiable I need to lend a hand, I might as well do nothing at all."

Yao Yin laughed and said,

"What will become of Yuehu Town?"

After thinking, Feng Yuan said,

"If they don’t resist, it will probably still survive, after all, what they want is a territory to rule, not a wasteland."

"Then why..."

Feng Yuan lifted his head to glance at Yao Yin, and upon realizing she truly did not understand, he stroked Xiao Ji who had fluttered over, and Feng Yuan said with a smile,

"Even if they are commoners, you can’t just suppress them with force, especially since the king of Nanyu hasn’t done anything wrong."

"Weakness is not his true desire, it’s just how the world is, and no one can change anything."

"Don’t forget, the tribes of Great Yan had already joined Great Yan, yet they encountered such an incident."

Yao Yin said disappointedly,

"So you mean, in the end, it can’t be avoided..."

"Probably, whether to resist or not, there’s no wrong choice, the world is like this..."

"Then she must be quite disappointed, right?"

"Maybe, although I don’t understand why she insists on saving Nanyu, but this isn’t like playing family games in Tian Fang, matters between nations can sometimes be even more cruel..."

"If he helps, maybe more people could be saved..."

"That bastard, even though he had already planned to evacuate by sea, he still refuses to take more people with him."

In the room, Liu Wenli poured out her dissatisfaction to Amon, and as she softly patted Liu Wenli, Amon listened patiently to her complaints, his bear-like face always adorning a simple smile.

"Do you need me to send a few more guards to help?"

Watching the Vine Turtles chasing around Hua Yiyou, Mo Li said somewhat amused. Aside from the Lantern Bugs following him, all the Spirit Beasts that had joined the team along the way were taken care of by Hua Yiyou. The number of small cats was already substantial, and plus the three frolicsome Vine Turtles, Hua Yiyou seemed a bit flustered.

"No, more people doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be taken care of better."

"I have taught them for so long, yet they still can’t handle even a small matter."

Hua Yiyou said with a smile, while the guard clumsily trying to calm down the small cats blushed. Hua Yiyou had patiently explained to them how to take good care of the small cats, but they still couldn’t manage such minor tasks. Mo Li laughed and said,

"After all, not everyone can be like you, capable of easily bonding with them."

"Speaking of bonding with Spirit Beasts, perhaps Feng Yuan is truly formidable..."

"Him? Better not to compare, that’s just asking for trouble."

Mo Li’s smile gradually faded, staring at Hua Yiyou he began,

"Speaking of which, what do you think about those Mountain Bandits?"

"They are probably about to make a move, I wonder how many people of Nanyu will remain after this battle..."

Mo Li sighed and remained silent. He too had guessed that possibility, but he had no way to deal with it. Not to mention that only they were present, even if the Yongning Army were here, facing a coalition of multiple countries, he could not think of any strategy to break the stalemate, and moreover...
