Chapter 583: Chapter 584: The War is Imminent_1

"So when the time comes... Yao Yin and I will go first..."

Mo Ling hesitated, and Feng Yuan glanced at Mo Ling and said,

"It’s probably not a good idea to do that. Spreading out our strength might actually lead to problems, and besides, don’t you trust it?"

Seeing Feng Yuan look towards the White Wolf Deity, Liu Wenli said with some confusion,

"Is that big white dog really that powerful? Why do you all seem to have so much confidence in it?"

"Hehe, you guess~"

"Forget it, I’m not interested in playing guessing games with you."

Rolling her eyes at Feng Yuan, Liu Wenli spoke irritably. However, even though she was puzzled by everyone’s attitude towards the White Wolf Deity, she did not hold out much hope. In her mind, the White Wolf Deity’s strength at best was at the Legendary Level. Although it could protect everyone, it didn’t seem to be overwhelmingly strong.

In Nan Zhu Lake, the pavilions stood quietly by the lakeside and amid the lake. Aside from Feng Yuan’s group, there were only occasional patrolling soldiers. After checking Feng Yuan and the others’ identities, the soldiers quickly left. Hua Yiyou said with some puzzlement,

"Why did they believe our story so easily?"

"Because I was standing by."

"But why haven’t you hurried to leave yet?"

Watching Feng Yuan busy setting up the camp, Wei Dingwu said with a frown,

"Do you really plan to stay behind?"

Taking a deep breath, Wei Dingwu shook the greatsword in his hand and said,

"What else can I do? It takes strength to stay behind."

"There are many stronger than you."

"But they have more important things to do. Moreover, they will stay behind with me."

"Do you know what the outcome will be if you choose to stay behind?"

Smiling at Liu Wenli, Wei Dingwu said,

"Just death, I suppose. Although it’s a bit of a regret, but..."

"At least it will save a lot of people, right?"

"You should leave quickly too. Nan Yu is no longer a good place for travelling."

Feng Yuan, busy with setting up the camp and without turning his head, said,

"Their request? Or your own decision? If you don’t stay behind, no one will say anything about you, so why bother?"

"Dingfang has already gone with them, we can’t all hide in the rear! That would be a humiliation to my Wei Family!"

Seeing Wei Dingwu’s determined look, Liu Wenli said softly,

"Is it worth it?"

"For so-called family honor..."

Wei Dingwu revealed a bright smile and said,

"Why wouldn’t it be worth it?"

"If... if you successfully complete the mission and you’re lucky enough to survive, what will you do?"

"If I’m lucky enough to survive, huh..."

Putting his hands behind his back, Wei Dingwu turned around, kicked a pebble at his feet, and after thinking for a while, he said to Liu Wenli, who looked slightly anxious,

"I’ll probably choose to travel the world~"

"Travel the world?!"

Mo Li and the others were a bit surprised. Turning to see Liu Wenli’s shocked expression, Wei Dingwu said with a smile,

"Of course~ If I can successfully complete the mission, that means I’ve done everything I could. I think, from then on, I should live for myself~"

"Live for yourself?"

Mo Li was somewhat confused, and smiling, Wei Dingwu said,

"Yeah, from a young age, everyone expected me to be loyal to Nan Yu, to be the Guardian War Goddess of Nan Yu. I... I’m a bit tired of it."

"Maybe that’s why he chose to leave the Wei Family..."

"Whatever I do, I have to stick to strict rules, not overstep, not go against family expectations..."

As Wei Dingwu rambled on, Liu Wenli murmured,

"You dislike this lack of freedom, yet you’ve never considered how many others envy that unfree life of yours."

Looking at her own palm, Liu Wenli smiled slightly and said,

"Well, that’s in the past~"

"But that’s impossible, isn’t it."

Wei Dingwu suddenly laughed and said, while Mo Ling looked at Wei Dingwu, puzzled,

"Do you think you’re bound to die?"

"Although I really don’t want to... it’s the truth. I just don’t know if it can escape..."

Patting the Telekinetic Brown Bear beside him, Wei Dingwu looked somewhat dejected. The Telekinetic Brown Bear gently patted Wei Dingwu’s back with its large bear paw and showed a simple and honest smile. Yao Yin disdainfully said,

"If you’re unwilling, why bring it along to seek death?"

Glancing at Yao Yin, Wei Dingwu revealed a smile and said,

"No, we won’t take them to the battlefield."

"That’s not necessarily the case."

Feng Yuan, holding Xiao Ji, came over and said. He knew that Wei Dingwu and the others must have been thinking of using the pre-infused power to fight this final battle. The Telekinetic Brown Bears, on the other hand, were given a reason to leave, so that whether or not Wei Dingwu and his comrades died in battle, it wouldn’t harm them. It’s just...

Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji in his arms, who was curiously looking around, seemingly somewhat looking forward to the upcoming battle. He vigorously rubbed Xiao Ji’s head and, under Xiao Ji’s dissatisfied gaze, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Your idea is good, but accidents are omnipresent~"

Wei Dingwu smiled without retorting and, lifting his Greatsword, said to everyone,

"You should leave quickly; I need to continue patrolling."

Watching Wei Dingwu walk away, Guo Huai said in a low voice,

"Why does she not care about her own life... at such a time..."

Glancing at Guo Huai, Feng Yuan said irritably,

"What’s wrong with that, don’t forget that she is of the class you hate the most?"

"Not at all! If everyone were like her... how could that incident have happened!"

"What difference is there between what you hope for and what those people do?"

"I..."

Seeing Guo Huai at a loss after her retort, Feng Yuan turned to Mo Li and said,

"Let’s just wait here for the next few days."

"Do you think they can hold out that long?"

Looking over Mo Li, Feng Yuan said,

"I believe their divvying up of the spoils won’t be that quick; they even have to put on a fight first."

"Such a cruel reality..."

Liu Wenli said sarcastically. Suddenly, Amon wrapped his arms around Liu Wenli, comforting her. Liu Wenli was startled and said helplessly,

"Thank you, I’m really okay..."

"It’s surprising that so many people are willing to accompany the Royal Court of Nanyu in their exodus."

Looking at the refugees stationed around Nan Zhu Lake, Feng Yuan said in amazement. Liu Wenli sighed and said,

"It must have been triggered by the affairs of Great Yan. No one can guarantee that surrendering to them won’t lead to the same situation as in the northern Yan region."

"Is the problem with Great Yan alone enough to provoke change in Nanyu~"

While speaking, Feng Yuan watched Amon, who was happily playing in Nan Zhu Lake, and rubbed Xiao Ji’s head saying,

"Look at him, why don’t you like playing in the water~"

Xiao Ji glared resentfully at Feng Yuan. These past few days, Feng Yuan had been trying to find an excuse to get Xiao Ji into the water, making Xiao Ji now too scared to approach the lake edge, fearing that Feng Yuan might suddenly push it in. The Agunas phantom silently shook its tail and said,

"Why do you insist on making it get in the water?"

"Because it’s fun~"

"That’s really mean."

Seeing Amon flip over in the water to float on his back, putting a honey jar on his belly and occasionally reaching out a paw to scoop up some honey to eat, Feng Yuan puzzledly said,

"When did he take that thing over there?"

"Stop it~"

Hua Yiyou smiled as he picked up a small Flame Cat from a pile of kittens and put it in a basket nearby. There were already several clean kittens lying in the basket. The small Flame Cat, having just been bathed, seemed to have enjoyed the bath and, while Hua Yiyou was not looking, sneaked back to the to-be-washed area hoping to enjoy Hua Yiyou’s service once again.

Despite there being several small Flame Cats, even looking very similar, Hua Yiyou, who had taken care of them for some time, could still easily tell them apart. He noticed right away that there was one extra kitten and carefully identified the mischievous little one.

Seeing the small Flame Cat trying to sneak out of the basket, Hua Yiyou smiled and flipped it over to tickle its belly. The Flame Cat swayed its paws skyward, writhed a bit, and then lay comfortably on the soft padding of the basket, not moving.

"There’s no game today, we can only eat yesterday’s leftovers."

Mo Li said helplessly. With more and more people arriving, relying on hunting to supplement their food was becoming increasingly difficult. Even though most of the people had brought their own supplies, there were still many whose food was insufficient and who had to rely on hunting in the vicinity for food.

"It will be over soon..."

Feng Yuan sighed, looking into the distance. He knew that by now, Mingyu City had already fallen.
