Summoner: Recognize Kain as the big brother at the beginning

Chapter 68 Shen Mengxi

Mulan pondered anxiously, "There may be a shortage of food in the future... Could you ask your apprentice to bring some supplies?"

"I'll pay for the expenses, and there will be additional compensation."

Yuxi felt a little helpless: "I am just a delivery man, right? Besides, I am standing right here, why don't you ask me?"

He thought to himself, "I'm obviously not invisible, why am I only asking Kai for help?"

Kai said softly: "But this will make him very hard."

Turning to Hua Mulan, he said gently: "Captain Hua, your cooking skills are actually quite good."

Hua Mulan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I can't even eat it myself. Fighting against the demons has already consumed too much energy."

"These demons suddenly appeared from within, catching us off guard. We are already very few in number."

Yuxi asked curiously: "How many people do you have now?"

Hua Mulan and Kai looked at each other, and she finally spoke: "A month ago, we still had a thousand people. But two days ago, there were only about a hundred people left. Now, there may be less than fifty people."

Yuxi thought she had heard it wrong: "How much?"

Hua Mulan replied sadly: "Less than fifty."

She smiled bitterly: "It is their honor to sacrifice their lives for the country. We don't need to be overly sentimental. They are all great heroes."

Yuxi was confused: "Why don't they ask Chang'an for help?"

Hua Mulan shook her head: "No response. We can only rely on ourselves and hold on."

Yuxi was filled with doubts: "What on earth is going on? Why did Wu Zetian turn a deaf ear to it? The Great Wall is a border defense, why didn't she send troops to support it?"

Su Lie and Jia Luo supported each other and walked slowly. Behind them followed a dozen guards. Although they were in a mess, they were neat and orderly. Yu Xi turned her head inadvertently and witnessed this scene.

Hua Mulan asked anxiously, "Su Lie, what's the situation in the south?"

Su Lie replied calmly: "It is still stable. I used the wall pillars to drive most of the demons back from the city wall."

Garo added: "We killed some of them, but the remaining demons are lurking under the city wall, waiting for the opportunity."

Jialuo suddenly noticed Yuxi's presence and asked in surprise: "Yuxi, are you here too?"

Yuxi smiled awkwardly and responded, "Yes, I just happened to pass by."

Kai suddenly interrupted: "I asked him to come."

Jialuo suddenly understood and nodded. As the sky gradually darkened, Yuxi looked down at the city wall awkwardly.

Suddenly, a funny meow sound came from Yuxi.

Yuxi looked at the familiar cat-eared beastman and wondered, "Is this... a demon hybrid?"

Su Lie laughed and said, "Shen Mengxi has made great contributions, and his contribution is indispensable."

Shen Mengxi smiled proudly and said, "Meow, yes meow! I also used explosives to blow away many demons!"

Hua Mulan praised: "Well done."

"Where is Lord Li Xin? Where is he? Meow~"

Yuxi and Hua Mulan looked at each other and shook their heads.

Jia Luo guessed: "I haven't seen him for a long time, could it be that he has already..."

Shen Mengxi was furious: "Don't talk nonsense, meow! Master Li Xin is the strongest, meow!"

As soon as Shen Mengxi finished speaking, his emotions suddenly became intense, like a ignited beacon fire. His figure was as fast as the wind, shuttling quickly on the city wall.

At the same time, he shouted resolutely: "I want to go find Master Li Xin!"

Hua Mulan quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Where are you going to find it now?"

"It's getting late now. We can only keep watch here in case of any emergency."

Jia Luo also quickly advised: "It is true, it is too risky to act now."

However, Shen Mengxi couldn't hear anything: "I don't care! Meow."

At this critical moment, Yuxi stood up.

Yuxi said with a hint of joking: "Why do you always like to add the word 'meow' when you speak?"

"I don't need your help, meow!"

"Who are you? Meow."

"Who are you? Meow∽"

"Don't you dare imitate my cat's speech, meow!"

"Don't you dare imitate my cat's speech, meow~"

"You're still learning! Meow."

"You're still learning! Meow~."

"Meow meow meow!"

"Meow meow meow ∽"

Yuxi deliberately imitated Shen Mengxi's words, causing him to temporarily forget his mission to find Li Xin. The atmosphere on the Great Wall became relaxed as the two imitated each other's "meow" sounds.

Hua Mulan's laughter echoed in the night sky. She joked, "Hahaha, you two funny guys are really funny."

Shen Mengxi looked very angry, as if the anger in her chest was about to burst out: "Oh my... I'm going to explode!"

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Yuxi teased, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Can't you speak normally?"

Shen Mengxi responded angrily: "None of your business!"

Yuxi calmly analyzed: "Don't you see that everyone is exhausted? The enemy is lurking in the dark. If you go to find Li Xin alone, if something goes wrong, do you want everyone to risk saving you?"

Shen Mengxi retorted forcefully: "This has nothing to do with you!"

Yuxi smiled gently and teased, "Little sister, how old are you this year?"

Shen Mengxi was immediately furious and retorted: "You! Who did you call little sister?"

Yuxi still maintained a relaxed attitude and teased: "You are so cute, of course I call you that."

Shen Mengxi had a conflicted expression on her face, wanting to agree but also feeling angry.

"I'm a boy!"

"Oh, so you're a boy. But you're the cutest boy I've ever seen. You must be the most obedient guard, right?"

Shen Mengxi hurriedly defended herself, "I listen to Master Li Xin the most... I'm not a child! Don't talk to me like a child!"

Yuxi nodded and agreed: "Okay, I understand. If you want to look for Li Xin, you can wait until dawn. It's too dark now and it's inconvenient to move."

"But……"

Yuxi comforted and persuaded: "Didn't you say that Lord Li Xin is the strongest? Then he will be fine. Don't worry."

Shen Mengxi finally calmed down and nodded solemnly: "Oh..."

Everyone smiled at each other, and the atmosphere gradually eased. As the night deepened, several bonfires were lit on the Great Wall, and more than a dozen people sat around in a circle. Hua Mulan looked at Yuxi with sincere admiration in her eyes.

Hua Mulan sincerely exclaimed: "It's really amazing..."

"Shen Mengxi has never been willing to listen to us."

"If it weren't for you, he would have already broken through the city wall and disappeared."

Yuxi asked curiously, "He won't listen to you? Why?"

Jia Luo replied: "Because he belongs to Li Xin's team."

Su Lie added: "There are many teams on the Great Wall. When the leader is not around, the team members only obey their captains."

"I see."

After sitting by the campfire for a while, Yuxi felt extremely hungry.

Yuxi murmured to herself: "I seem to have not eaten for a whole day again."

Yuxi couldn't help but ask: "Do we have to stay here all night?"

Hua Mulan explained, "We will take turns keeping vigil until dawn."

Su Lie warned seriously: "The demons have not retreated yet, we can't let our guard down."
