Night fell, and Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao rested on the balcony of the second floor of the wooden cabin, while Qiao Ying and Yue Yan strolled nearby, occasionally stopping to gaze at the starry sky with a hint of contemplation.
As Ye Feng had frequently conjured the wooden cabin for overnight stays or rest stops during their journey, Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, and Yue Yan had transformed it into a two-story dwelling.
"Big Brother, you're listening to Xiu Xiao Man's songs too~"
At that moment, Xiao Xiao sidled over, having heard a familiar female voice.
"Mm!"
Ye Feng nodded. "Xiao Xiao, you listen too?"
"Mhm! Her songs are beautiful~ They have a very special feeling… makes one very relaxed…" kanδん
Xiao Xiao blinked and sent Xiu Xiao Man a reward of a braised chicken leg.
"Indeed~"
Ye Feng murmured, sending 100 Arcane Yuan Coins to Xiu Xiao Man.
His system's survival coins had reached their maximum, preventing him from absorbing more. This left him with a large hoard of Arcane Yuan Coins that were now useless…
"Ding dong~"
Before Xiu Xiao Man's pleasant thank you message had even faded, a notification chimed in Ye Feng's [Private Chat Channel].
He clicked it open and saw it was Ying. "Zhang San, do you have any medicine for burns… I sleepwalked… Alice is injured and bleeding…"
Ying's message was somewhat jumbled, indicating her agitation.
"Don't rush, tell me what happened, slowly!"
Ye Feng quickly replied.
"Before…"
It took quite some time before Ye Feng finally understood the situation.
It turned out that Ying, likely the same Ying he had met at Second Realm Town, had encountered a powerful enemy. Alice had been gravely wounded protecting Ying, and Ying herself had apparently sleepwalked, ending up in a strange place in a daze.
Lacking medicine for burns, Alice was now in critical condition.
"Big Brother, this person named Ying… the enemy she described sounds a bit like Apollo, who you drove away before…"
Xiao Xiao frowned after reading Ying's message.
"Indeed… Ying's description… the attacker really does resemble Apollo…"
A look of clear surprise crossed Ye Feng's face.
He then leaned over and called out, "Yue Yan, come here for a moment!~"
"Okay!~"
Before Yue Yan's voice had faded, she appeared on the second-floor balcony of the wooden cabin, dressed in a sky-blue dress.
"Yue Yan, do you have anything to treat burns from Apollo's divine fire?"
Meeting Yue Yan's puzzled gaze, Ye Feng spoke quickly.
He hadn't directly offered Ying burn medicine because, if his suspicion was correct and Alice was injured by Apollo's divine fire, ordinary medicine would be ineffective.
Yue Yan, however, likely had a solution. After all, during their previous battle with Apollo, Yue Yan's icy blue light had managed to block Apollo's divine fire attacks.
"This… I do… but why do you need it?"
Yue Yan replied, looking slightly taken aback.
"Here, this…"
Saying this, Ye Feng pointed the screen at Yue Yan.
"Whoa… that person from before… got injured by Apollo?"
After reading the chat log between Ye Feng and Ying, Yue Yan reached the same conclusion as Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao.
"Ye Feng… are you sure you want to save this person, Luo Ying?"
Yue Yan turned her head, looking at Ye Feng with a serious expression. "Ye Feng, I sensed extremely pure divine power from this woman, Luo Ying, before. I suspect she is likely an Emissary of the gods, or perhaps even one of the awakening gods…"
"This…"
Hearing this, Ye Feng also became hesitant. After all, the so-called twelve main gods like Ares and Apollo…
"That… are the twelve main gods all like Ares and Apollo?"
After a moment's thought, Ye Feng asked with a frown.
"I… I haven't really interacted with many of the twelve main gods. Truly interacted… only Ares and Apollo…"
"But based on the information I have… this Luo Ying… might… ultimately be an enemy…"
"To be honest, back in Second Realm Town, when I sensed the frighteningly pure divine power within Luo Ying, I considered killing her…"
Yue Yan spread her hands helplessly.
"However, I heard from that old woman Yue Fei Xue that not all gods wish to exterminate humanity… but it's complicated…"
She paused before speaking again.
With that, she turned to look at Qiao Ying, who had just arrived. Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao also turned their gazes to Qiao Ying.
"We angels have been fighting demons for a long time… so we don't know much about the gods…"
"I can only say that the gods, emissaries, and servants I know of are not good people…"
"But I don't think Luo Ying… has done anything harmful so far… and she seems quite beloved by the villagers of Second Realm Town…"
Qiao Ying pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
Hearing this, Ye Feng fell into deep thought. Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, and Yue Yan remained silent, quietly watching Ye Feng, clearly awaiting his decision.
"Let's help her… If she turns out to be an enemy, we'll deal with her then!"
With that, Ye Feng looked inquiringly at the three women. They all nodded in unison.
Immediately, Yue Yan's hand flashed, and a mass of icy blue light appeared. The icy blue light spun and condensed, finally forming a spherical droplet of icy blue water.
"Based on Luo Ying's description just now, this single drop should be enough!"
Saying this, Yue Yan handed the crystal-clear icy blue droplet to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng nodded, spoke to Luo Ying in the [Private Chat Channel], and then they completed the transaction in the [Trading Channel].
"Yue Yan, why are you so happy? Did you find money?"
Ye Feng looked at Yue Yan with some bewilderment.
He noticed that Yue Yan, for some reason, seemed to be in a suddenly good mood, a clear smile on her face.
"Ask this little angel, she's also very happy~"
Yue Yan glanced at Qiao Ying beside her, humming an unknown tune, and jumped off the second-floor balcony.
"What's going on?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng turned to look at Qiao Ying, confused. He saw that, like Yue Yan, she also seemed to be in a good mood, as if something good had happened. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
"The King's… the King's actions… feel very right…"
Qiao Ying uttered a nonsensical sentence, then, like Yue Yan, jumped off the second-floor balcony to go for a stroll.
"What the heck?"
Ye Feng scratched his head, feeling puzzled.
"Ding dong!~"
At this moment, Ye Feng's [Private Chat Channel] chimed again. This time, it wasn't Ying, but Zi Ying Suo, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time.
"Zhang San, do you have any firearms for sale?"
