Chapter 95: Honor
Xiao Jiu flashed into the cave, holding a sheepskin bag filled with water in her hand.
In the corner of the cave, Yan Fangfei leaned weakly against the cave wall, her hair scattered and covered in sweat. Xiao Jiu had brought enough food, but she had not brought any water yet.
Normally, in the Savage Wastelands, there would be snow everywhere, so there would be no need to bring water. But here, under the cliff, it was extremely hot, and there was not a speck of snow to be found. Not only was there no snow, but even water was hard to come by, which made the seriously injured Yan Fangfei unable to bear it. She had been running a high fever for two days.
Originally, Xiao Jiu had wanted to use wind magic to fly Yan Fangfei directly up the cliff, but she found that when she flew to a certain height, a huge pressure would push her back down. Even if she used her earth escape technique to go up the cliff, it would be the same.
This place was one where they could only go down, but not up.
Stuck here, Yan Fangfei grew weaker and weaker due to the lack of water. Seeing that she could not hold on much longer, Xiao Jiu had to take the risk of going out to look for a water source.
Xiao Jiu pinched open Yan Fangfeis mouth and poured the water into her throat.
Cough cough Yan Fangfei coughed twice and opened her eyes.
Cant you be a little gentler? Yan Fangfei complained weakly.
Xiao Jiu ignored her and walked to the side, taking out some medicine powder and applying it to her right arm. Then she tied a strip of cloth tightly around it.
At this moment, Yan Fangfei noticed that Xiao Jius right arm was bleeding, and her whole body was covered with a lingering aura of violence. She couldnt help feeling a strange feeling in her heart, and spoke up, Thank you.
Xiao Jiu sat cross-legged and closed her eyes without responding.
Hey, are you mute? Didnt I hear you speak in front of your Master last time? Yan Fangfei asked. Since Xiao Jiu had followed her to the Savage Wastelands, she had not spoken again.
Is it that your Master doesnt allow you to speak in front of others? Hes too cruel.
I wont ask you about your secrets. Can you tell me your name? You cant just be called Xiao Jiu, right?
How old are you?
Are you so ugly that you have to wrap yourself up in your robe all day?
In the distance, Qi Bei watched the Orc army hastily retreat, revealing a smile. This time, the great crisis of West Spirit City had finally been safely overcome.
Soon after, the warning from the Golden Leaf Empire would be sent to all Orc tribes. After all, West Spirit City was nominally part of the Golden Leaf Empires territory. Being besieged twice by the Orc army was a blatant provocation, and Qi Bei believed that there would not be a third time.
Return to the city, Qi Bei waved his hand triumphantly.
On the city wall, there was a wave of cheers.
Qi Bei rode into the city on the Golden Lion King, accepting the respectful and adoring cheers of his people.
What seemed impossible had been done so simply.
As they listened to the cheers and saw the respectful gazes, Fire Wolf, Water Wolf, and the four Star Generals felt an unprecedented feeling in their hearts: honor.
Surrounded by this feeling, they felt their blood boiling.
Many of the people in the city also felt a great change in their mindset. Previously, in the chaotic West Spirit City, they had no sense of security, let alone a sense of belonging. They were just living their lives.
But now, many people felt a kind of cohesion in the city, a kind of unity. They were protected by a powerful lord, and as their lives improved, they naturally gained a sense of security and belonging.
Young master, you are a hero, Huan Ying whispered.
Even heroes need a beautiful lady by their side. Without you, my heroism would be useless, Qi Bei joked.
I am just the young masters little maid. Where is your beauty? Huan Ying pointed to Murong Xingchen, who was sitting in a wheelchair far from the crowd. Behind her stood Ru Feng and Piao Xue.
Murong Xingchen!
Qi Bei looked over, remembering the silver hair in the spatial ring. He couldnt help but feel strange in his heart. Did it mean that she had given her soul to him?
Murong Xingchens beautiful eyes met Qi Beis gaze from afar, then she turned away and disappeared from his sight.
Star Master, why dont we go over there? Piao Xue asked.
Because I cant go, Mu Rong Xingchen replied softly.
Cant go? Why cant she go? Ru Feng and Piao Xue wondered about this question with doubt.
