Demon Lord 3

Zhang Qi nodded and said that this matter could indeed be understood in this way, but after he finished speaking, he became depressed again and said that he did not have much time to make these little gadgets by himself, and he might do something else. I asked him what he did, and he said that he might have to plant crops and grow flowers or something like that. I smiled and said that he should work hard now and not do those trivial things. When the war is truly won, I will build him a big house and he can plant as many flowers and farm as much land as he wants. After I finished speaking, he nodded contentedly. In this way, we have added another general. On the way back, the fellow was also smiling, because a monster was arranged to guard his house. We also told everyone that as long as they can provide us with some difficult and complicated problems, we can go there to visit, and if the visit is successful, we can give them a monster. Zhang Qi is also very willing to follow us. In fact, in the evening, I specially called him to the stone bench. After sitting down, he asked me what was the matter. I poured two glasses of wine, filled them up, and then asked him if he could do it? He nodded, and then said he would drink first as a toast. I drank it too, and asked him if he was willing to stay with me, or if he was willing to continue staying in this world. He didn't understand what I meant. I roughly told him about the situation of our team from the beginning, and then talked about the later period to the present. He had mixed feelings after listening to it. He said that after all, this was where he had lived all his life, and he was homesick and didn't want to leave. I told him that it didn't matter, I respected his choice, and if he was willing to stay here, he should follow Wen Qihua and work hard. He shook his head and said that he didn't think so, he had other ideas, and he was willing to follow me. In fact, he wanted to see the outside world. He had no idea after his master died. He'd been out again, absorbed in studying those things, feeling suffocated. His master had praised him for his talent, but he didn't know the full extent of his abilities. He wanted to see the outside world and see if he was truly capable. I'd clearly told him he was very capable, but he didn't believe it. He believed it was all illusory and that only true strength could be truly realized. I asked him how far he wanted to cultivate, and he said, "Just follow us, wherever we go, we'll see." This was his only wish in life. While cradling his master's body, he told him he would travel the world, seeing it on his behalf. With the silent onset of war, he hadn't dared to venture out even for a single day. This time, he wanted to travel not only this world but also other worlds. He wanted to see the difference between this one and others. He wanted to see where his master had gone after his death. I asked him if he would ever tire of the world if he truly knew its true nature. He said he might have seen the truth of the world and no longer felt anything. After all, living through these days of war, he felt that every step forward would be easy, every step forward would be joyful. People generally don't appreciate the blessings they have. Only after experiencing war can one truly appreciate everything that comes afterward. Although war is cruel, it also brings hope. Without cruel oppression, one wouldn't imagine the sweetness that lies ahead. Zhang Qi suddenly had an idea. Afraid I wouldn't accept it, he said to me, "You've been saying you'd follow my advice, but I didn't ask for your opinion. Sister Yue, what do you think? Are you willing to take me with you? If not, I'll stay back home and farm. It doesn't matter. I'm not picky." Seeing his nervousness, I chuckled and told him it wasn't that big of a deal. I just wanted him to stay. I respected his choice. I was worried he'd have to leave home, so I was willing to live here. But since he had no family left, why not go out with me and try his luck? He could come back halfway, or stay with me until the end. It didn't matter. As long as I was here, he could always be by my side. Every young man should try his luck. Why not try it at such a young age? Are you just waiting to die alone? Perhaps you'll find yourself in the big world, starting a family and making a difference in your life. Embrace a bright future with your current situation. That's how people are. If you don't try, how can you know the immensity of the world?
