Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 29: A Sleepless Night in Yonghui City
Unexpectedly, after listening to Wei Xingying's description of what everyone had experienced in the past few days, Mu Feng agreed to Wei Xingying's request very generously. He patted Wei Xingying's shoulder and said proudly: "Brother, you really suit my temper! A good man's ambition is to fight on the battlefield! Even if he returns with his iron armor torn to pieces and his body wrapped in a shroud, he will never live in disgrace!"
These words made Ping Lili's blood boil, thinking that he had made the right choice this time. However, he did not expect that Mu Feng would change the subject and look at Ping Lili with a strange look: "But, brother, it is natural for you to follow me into battle and kill the enemy, but these few..."
His eyes swept over Pinglili, Qingluan and Zeze one by one: "War is not a joke, it's a life-and-death fight. I can't agree to your request."
After hearing this, Ying Lili naturally refused to accept it. Why should Wei Xingying get a share while she should be discriminated against?
"General, I don't like what you said. What do you mean by child's play? Do you think our strength is not enough to satisfy you?"
Once the little girl got angry, she would not let anyone off the hook. She almost jumped in front of Mu Feng, raised her head and glared at him, her golden brown eyes seemed to be spitting fire. But because the other person was too tall, she could only stand on tiptoe to barely meet his gaze.
Mu Feng was speechless after being rebuked like this. In fact, he just had good intentions. Everyone knew the identity of the woman in front of him, but it was not easy to expose it at this time. Wei Xingying had mentioned before that His Highness had gone to great lengths to send them away in order to protect her. Wei Xingying was fine. In Mu Feng's mind, Wei Xingying was his brother. If he didn't fulfill his wish, he would feel uneasy. Therefore, even though he knew that he would be punished by His Highness afterwards, he accepted it. This was what it meant to stick your neck out for your brother.
But the woman from the Shamo tribe in front of him was different. He had resisted the urge to report her whereabouts to His Highness, which was the best he could do. Perhaps subconsciously, he didn't want to do anything that would make her hate him. However, even if he had a hundred guts, he didn't have the courage to assign her any tasks, not to mention the other people of unknown origin. This was a time when everyone was on the alert, and he didn't want to plant some potential threats for himself.
But Ping Lili had no idea of what was going on in his mind. She just thought that the general named Mu Feng looked down on her because she was a girl. She was already furious. She saw her small body standing with her feet on her hips and her head raised, looking like a female demon. She insisted that Mu Feng give her a reasonable explanation!
"Hey, I, I didn't mean that, girl, you misunderstood..." Mu Feng seemed to be intimidated by the aura of the woman in front of him, and he even stuttered when he spoke.
"Oh? Misunderstanding? Then tell me, why can Wei Xingying go into battle and kill the enemy, but we can't?" Being ruthless is something that Gong Lili is good at.
"Eh...this..." Although Mu Feng was heroic and strong, he was not good at dealing with women, especially women who were unreasonable. His face turned red and he wanted to explain, but he didn't know how. He couldn't just tell her directly that because you are the prince's woman, I dare not assign you any tasks, right?
When he was feeling embarrassed, he suddenly caught sight of Wei Xingying who was snickering beside him. As if he had seen a savior, he quickly glanced at Wei Xingying with a pleading look.
Wei Xingying naturally saw Mu Feng's hopeful eyes. According to his style, he would definitely want to create chaos in the world, and he was naturally very clear about the strength of his own people. He was also a little unhappy with Mu Feng's previous rejection, so he had been allowing Ping Lili to be so presumptuous. However, since Mu Feng had already asked him for help, and Mu Feng had just done him a favor, it would be very unrighteous if he stood by and watched.
Wei Xingying quickly stepped forward and pulled Ping Lili away, then quickly whispered a few words in her ear. Ping Lili looked up at him doubtfully: "Are you serious?"
"When have I ever lied to you? Just let General Mu go." Wei Xingying quickly pulled the young lady away, and gave Mu Feng a look that said, "Everything is up to me." Mu Feng heaved a sigh of relief at this time. Although he also doubted what Wei Xingying had promised the girl, he changed his mind and thought that no matter what Wei Xingying had promised her, as long as he held on, there would be no loss. Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.
He noticed the unwilling look in the eyes of the Shamo woman and suddenly felt like laughing. This woman really couldn't hide her emotions.
After giving a few words to Wei Xingying, Mu Feng hurried back to the camp of the Dragon Wing Army. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back at Gong Lili, thinking of the mission assigned to him by His Highness. Perhaps, this time, he would return with his body shrouded in iron armor. All along, he didn't have much affection for Yonghui City and its people. He really felt that their fate had little to do with him, so he didn't understand why His Highness asked him to defend Yonghui City to the death.
Today's fight to the death is only for the thousands of Ruoye brothers and His Highness in this city. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that there might be something in Yonghui City worth protecting!
It's night
The night was long and the breeze was cool. It was rare to have such a peaceful night on the eve of such a big battle. Unfortunately, for Ping Lili, this was destined to be a sleepless night.
Before, General Mu Feng said a few words to Wei Xingying and left in a hurry, leaving everyone here. The reason why Ying Lili managed to control her temper and didn't lose her temper was because Wei Xingying told her not to worry and said he had another good plan.
Although the guy looked confident, Pinglili didn't dare to believe him easily, because no matter how Pinglili asked, he just smiled and kept silent, saying that he would know it tomorrow morning. Such a vague answer naturally could not satisfy Pinglili.
However, Wei Xingying was very tight-lipped and insisted that there would be a way tomorrow. He was unwilling to reveal anything to Ying Lili in advance. That was why Ying Lili was so nervous at this moment and couldn't fall asleep at all.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, I recalled the days and nights I had spent in this virtual world. I lived in fear every day, with my life hanging on the edge of a knife. I had not had a single night of good sleep. Oh, maybe there was one, and it was the night at Mirror Lake.
However, Ping Lili knew that no matter how good that man was, he was not her lover. No matter how wonderful Yonghui City was, it was not her home after all. After the danger in Yonghui City was resolved, she would have to go to Shamo City again. She always felt that Shamo City seemed to hide too many secrets. Although there was Yao Ji's soul there, which Ping Lili was unwilling to touch, she knew that she could not escape.
Although she seemed to have adapted to life in the Netherworld these days, and even felt more at home than in the real world, she knew in her heart that this was not her hometown after all, and it was not her final resting place. She had her own life, her own family, and her own friends, and all of these were in the real world, so she had to go back.
Moreover, even now, she still hasn't figured out how to face Yao Ji, and how to deal with the Kaneyi in her body. It would be great if she could find Mo Yi. Perhaps, with Mo Yi around, she would have more confidence to move forward on the unknown road ahead.
Since when, Mo Yi, just the name makes Ping Lili feel at ease.
Suddenly, while she was daydreaming, Ping Lili felt some movement outside the door. The door next door was gently opened. Although the other party's movements were very gentle and the sound was almost inaudible, with Ping Lili's cultivation level at that time, the slightest movement several feet away could not escape her ears, let alone it was just outside the door.
Without making any noise, Ping Lili quickly took out the short black iron blade, held it tightly in his hand, and with a pinch of the Life Skill with his left hand, he confirmed the other party's identity.
He quietly put away the short black iron blade in his hand, but was muttering in his heart, what does Wei Xingying want to do by sneaking out in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
There was a hint of curiosity in Pinglili's golden brown eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he quietly slipped out of bed and followed him out.
She was extremely cautious and kept a distance from Wei Xingying. Anyway, with the Life-Spirit Technique in hand, every move of Wei Xingying could not escape her eyes, so she was not afraid of losing him at all.
What surprised her was that after Wei Xingying sneaked out of the courtyard, he disappeared over the roof like an arrow, and his figure quickly sank into the darkness.
What was he in such a hurry to do? Was he going to meet someone? This guy was obviously hiding something from her. Suddenly, she remembered that everything he said during the day would be revealed tomorrow, and Ping Lili became even more curious. Seeing Wei Xingying's figure disappear into the darkness, she quickly followed without thinking too much.
On this side, Ying Lili just chased out and disappeared into the darkness. She was pinching the Life Secret and suddenly found that after she left, another door behind her opened gently , and in the blink of an eye, it closed gently again!
As if nothing happened!
No! Ping Lili's keen sixth sense told her that someone must have gone out just now! But why couldn't she see anyone?
Could this be the legendary invisibility technique?
Ping Lili felt that this matter was even more strange. She closed her golden-brown eyes slightly and muttered a few spells silently. Suddenly, a figure flew out from the courtyard and went in the opposite direction of them!
Ping Lili thought, since I can't see it anyway, I might as well leave it to that person to deal with it!
It seems that this night is destined to be not peaceful!
Ping Lili followed Wei Xingying unnoticed, climbing walls and flying over rooftops in the dark night, heading north. His doubts grew even stronger. This direction was clearly the location of the Ruoye Tribe's palace. Ping Lili could even vaguely see the bright lights in the palace. Why was this?
Could it be that he was just walking into a trap and running to see Long Yu? Ying Lili shook his head, shaking off this ridiculous idea. No matter how stupid Wei Xingying was, he would not make such a plan. Besides, the general named Mu Feng had already promised to give him a good job, so he should not make a fool of himself at this time.
So, what exactly is he going to do?
