The atmosphere was extremely weird for a while.

Yuxi thought, "Do they really all want me to stay?"

So I asked, “Are you really so short of people here?”

Hua Mulan confessed: "We are really short of people. I wish I could split one person in half."

She looked out over the winding Great Wall and added, "The wall is so vast that we can hardly gather enough troops to stand guard."

Yuxi comforted him, "Don't worry, I believe Chang'an will send more troops to garrison here soon, and then you will have some free time."

Hua Mulan asked curiously, "How do you know?"

Yuxi explained: "I have been in Chang'an these days, and I also met Di Renjie and explained the situation here to him."

Hua Mulan asked in surprise: "Do you really know Di Renjie?"

Kai interrupted, "Who is Di Renjie?"

Su Lie explained: "Di Renjie is an important official of the empress, and is a third-rank official in the Dali Temple."

Jia Luo also added: "I have also read his biography in books. I heard that he is a god at solving cases and is impartial and just."

Yuxi smiled slightly: "Really? But...he is not as perfect as the legend says."

He thought to himself: "In fact, he is a stingy person who never pays his subordinates..."

He paused, then continued, "When I went to Chang'an, I didn't have a pass token, so the soldiers guarding the city took me to Di Renjie. He also detained me because I was dressed strangely, and that's how we got to know each other."

Hua Mulan asked curiously: "Will he tell you that Chang'an will send troops to garrison there just by doing this?"

Yuxi nodded: "Well...some things happened later, and we can be said to have a life-long friendship."

Kai seemed to want to say something at this time, but he didn't say it.

Yuxi then added: "He also invited me to serve in the court and recommended me to be the deputy minister of the Dali Temple."

Su Lie explained: "The deputy minister of the Dali Temple is a fourth-rank official position."

Curiously asked, "He plans to make you his right-hand man?"

Yuxi nodded in confirmation.

Hua Mulan couldn't help but ask: "Then do you agree?"

Yuxi asked back: "Why did you agree?"

He shrugged, "What's so good about being an official?"

I muttered to myself: "Who knows if he will deduct my salary like he did to Yuan Fang..."

Yuxi said leisurely: "My dream is to travel around the world."

After hearing this, Hua Mulan remained silent.

Yuxi added in her mind: "Now they should give up."

"I don't even care about being an official, so how can I join the Guards? Are you kidding me..."

Suddenly, a cat's meow was heard in the distance.

Shen Mengxi shouted loudly: "Meow! Look, there is a cow flying in the sky!"

"Hahahaha"

Yuxi laughed: "You don't believe it? But everything I said is true."

Shen Mengxi sneered: "That cat has even met Her Majesty the Empress!"

Shen Mengxi smiled proudly and said, "Her Majesty the Empress once touched my head and made me a general!"

Yuxi was slightly stunned, then teased: "Letting you be a general... the happiest person will probably be your opponent."

Shen Mengxi didn't take it seriously and continued, "Lord Li Xin said that when the imperial court sends troops, they will first issue an imperial decree and send them here at full speed."

Yuxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe it won't be that soon."

Shen Mengxi said mysteriously: "I heard that the imperial edict of Her Majesty the Empress is changing rapidly."

Yuxi was slightly surprised: "So fast?"

Yuxi thought to herself, "According to Di Renjie's efficiency, the imperial edict should have been delivered in three days..."

Shen Mengxi suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Look! The cow fell to its death!"

Yuxi and everyone else looked at each other in bewilderment, while Shen Mengxi looked smug after having exposed Yuxi's lies.

At this time Kai glanced at Shen Mengxi inadvertently, and Shen Mengxi's expression froze instantly. Shen Mengxi was stunned, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.

Kai gently withdrew his gaze and said to Yuxi softly, "Let's eat first, the food is getting cold."

"Ah."

Yuxi responded softly and started eating.

When he was halfway through eating, he handed the remaining beef to the crying monster next to him.

After dinner, the two quickly left the fort.

Then the two of them waited quietly by the city wall for time to pass.

Yuxi secretly calculated the time in her mind, waiting for the cooldown of [Teleport] to end.

Kai seemed to notice Yuxi's silence and asked softly, "Are you angry?"

Yuxi responded somewhat bewilderedly: "What are you angry about?"

Kai continued, "You said Chang'an would send troops, and I believe you."

After hearing this, Yuxi said with emotion: "Brother, you always seem to believe in me unconditionally."

Kai smiled and replied: "No matter what you say, I will believe it."

Yuxi secretly complained in her heart: "Brother, you look a little silly... You are obviously a smart person..."

However, before he could finish complaining in his heart, Kai gently put his arm around his shoulders and brought him to the foot of the city wall.

Yuxi asked doubtfully, "Where are you going?"

Kai smiled and replied: "I'll take you to see the scenery."

Yuxi looked around and saw nothing but a desert. She couldn't help wondering, "It's all desert here. What scenery is there to see?"

Kai smiled mysteriously and said, "Follow me."

After saying this, his figure disappeared from the spot, and then instantly reappeared in the distance, motioning Yuxi to follow.

Yuxi asked in surprise: "How come you can still use light escape?"

Kai didn't know, so he asked, "What is light escape?"

Yuxi explained: "You just disappeared and then appeared in another place."

Kai smiled and shook his head, and replied: "I ran here."

Although Yuxi found it a little unbelievable, she still resigned herself to catching up with Kai.

Along the way, I couldn't help but sigh: "He can't use magic after losing his memory, but his physical fitness is still very abnormal."

I don't know how long I walked, but the sky gradually darkened.

The surrounding environment changed from desert to forest green land.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

The surrounding environment also changed from desert to lush forest green land.

As soon as she stepped into the forest, Yuxi couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Am I asking for trouble?"

"I was so bored that I followed him so far to see the forest..."

Yuxi pointed at the forest and asked in confusion: Brother, is this the scenery you were talking about?

Kai nodded: "Yes, this is the edge of Yucheng."

"When night falls, strange beasts will appear."

"Exotic beast?"

"follow me."

As we followed Kai for a while further into the night, it became increasingly darker.

The surrounding vegetation began to shimmer, schools of fish with dazzling wings darted through the grass, and butterflies danced in the interweaving of light and shadow.

The dreamlike beauty brought Yuxi back to his senses, and he saw Kai looking at him with a smile.

Kai smiled and asked, "Isn't it beautiful?"

Yuxi agreed: "It is indeed beautiful..."

An inexplicable emotion surged in my heart: "But why does it feel so awkward..."

Yuxi glanced at Kai, who was sitting quietly on the grass, surrounded by blue butterflies.

Yuxi couldn't help but sigh: "If there was a fairy-like girl sitting here... I would definitely think this is the home of elves."

Kai explained: "I discovered this by chance when I was exterminating the nearby demons."

“These creatures are found only in this place.”

"There are also some small monsters."

Yuxi was curious: "Small monster?"

Kai pointed in a direction: "Look over there."

Kai pointed to a branch in the distance. Yuxi looked closely and saw a white owl perched there.

Ding——Cuckoo Chicken

[A rare species of owl, it hides during the day and wanders at night. It tastes salty and sour, is neutral in nature, and can be used as medicine to soothe the stomach and relieve the mind. It likes to laugh, can be tamed, and is edible.]

Level: 30. (Can be killed with punishment.)

Yuxi couldn't help but sigh: "Even these mutant creatures are so cute..."

Cuckoo Chicken: “Cuckoo…”

Yingying monster: "Squeak..."

A ball of lightning came out of its mouth and shot straight towards the Cuckoo Chicken.

The cuckoo chicken was hit by the lightning and fell weakly on the grass, but Kai picked it up gently.

Yuxi looked at all this in confusion and couldn't help asking, "What is this for?"

Kai smiled and replied: "This is for Yingying Monster to eat. It especially likes this kind of little monster."

"Hey~"

The Yingying monster cried out in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Yuxi was speechless and could only observe it all silently.

When the Yingying monster jumped off Yuxi's shoulder and bit the Cuckoo Chicken, Yuxi couldn't bear to watch it and turned her head away.

He sighed inwardly, "Really? It turns out that eating cute things makes people feel guilty."

At this time, Kai sat next to him and handed him a furry creature.

"Take it and play with it." Kai said softly.

Yuxi took it curiously and asked, "What is this?"

"This is Yuzai." Kai replied, "A small creature that carries jade around Jade City. It's harmless and won't hurt anyone."

Yuxi frowned and said, "So you caught him to entertain me?"

He seemed a little dissatisfied: "What's the point of this?"

Kai explained patiently: "I thought you would like these little gadgets."

Yuxi couldn't help but ask back: "Why do you think so?"

Kai smiled slightly and changed the subject: "Why don't you go and watch the Yingying monster eat?"

Yuxi shook her head and said, "Yingying monster, eating is too ugly..."

Kai joked: "But it also eats beef like this, don't you think it's actually very special?"

Yuxi admitted: "Okay, I admit that I am obsessed with looks. I just think that Yingying monsters look more unpleasant."

Kai laughed: "Hahaha..."

The Yingying monster shouted happily: "Ying..."

Yuxi rubbed the furry little Yuzai all over and threw him to Kai.

Yuxi estimated in her mind at this time: "The cooling time of the transmission should be up."

So he called out to the Yingying monster: "Yingying monster, come to my side."

Yingying monster: “Squeaky, squeaky~”.

Yuxi then turned to Kai and said, "Brother, you should go back first."

He smiled and said, "Have a good rest tonight."

A trace of doubt flashed in Kai's eyes, and his voice was low: "Aren't you going back?"

Yuxi shook her head gently, with a somewhat carefree tone: "Why should I go back?"

"I'm not a guard."

A trace of sadness flashed in Kai's eyes: "Do you want to leave quietly again?"

Yuxi shook her head and her eyes met Kai's: "Isn't that what I'm telling you now?"

"Just ask you to tell them."

Kai frowned, seeming a little unwilling: "Then tell me, where are you going?"

Yuxi looked into the distance and slowly uttered two words: "Jixia."

A hint of determination flashed in Kai's eyes: "Then I'll go with you."

Yuxi was a little surprised and looked at Kai sideways: "Why do you want to go with me?"

Kai smiled faintly: "It just so happens that I am free now and want to go out for a walk."

Yuxi thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and held out her hand: "In that case, come here, I'll see if I can take you with me."

Kai was stunned for a moment, then held Yuxi's hand tightly.

"Is this okay?"

Yuxi smiled lightly, with some confidence in her eyes: "It should be no problem."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to take the Yingying monster away."

Yuxi whispered: "System, open the map."

A map bar is displayed, showing their current location.

He took a deep breath and ordered, "Use teleportation, set the destination to Jixia."

叮——地图栏开始倒数:10, 9, 8, 7, 6…

Kai locked his eyes with Yuxi: "Don't lie to me."

The countdown ended and the scene before my eyes changed instantly.
