Chapter 134

Jiang Xiao told the two girls stories all night, and after clearing out the Calamity Shadow Ruins again, he walked out and set off back to the Little Bemu Manor.

When Jiang Xiao came out, the sky in the east was turning white. Only then did he realize that he had actually been telling them stories all night.

Alas, time always flies by so fast when he's with Xiao Jiangxue...

In the morning, Jiang Xiao returned to the Little Bemu Manor.

And Jiang Xiao's way of returning was very unrestrained! He teleported all the way back!

The Kingdom of Westa wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either.

Especially since the location where they went to sea was in the southwest of the Kingdom of Westa, while the Little Bemu Manor was right in the center of the country.

So, Jiang Xiao almost crossed most of the territory of the Kingdom of Westa to return to his destination.

And Jiang Xiao's teleportation hadn't reached the level of a single Flash Back, so during Jiang Xiao's flashing, it inevitably attracted the attention of people in certain towns, causing some impact.

But Jiang Xiao didn't care ~ Anyway, this was the Kingdom of Westa, not his home. If he didn't have fun now, when would he?

After Jiang Xiao took the map and teleported his way back to the Little Bemu Manor, his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment!

I'm such a genius!

The Sea Burial King siblings were indeed not at home. They should have been left at the royal manor. Under the enthusiastic (frightened) hospitality of the servants, Jiang Xiao returned to his guest room, took a comfortable bath, and washed away all his fatigue.

How could I, the dignified Jiu Xing Du Nai, be salty and astringent? I should be fragrant and sweet...

"What shape is the hope in the eyes of children, is there a swing in the yard, are there candies in their pockets..." Jiang Xiao hummed a song, came to the coffee table in the living room, picked up his phone, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

It was only charged to 66%, which was so sad to see.

While Jiang Xiao turned on his phone, he continued to hum: "The light of the bayonet is brightened by hatred in the distant wilderness, but she smiles and doesn't know to panic..."

Jiang Xiao's singing stopped slightly. As soon as he turned on his phone, he saw a bunch of messages and missed call records.

Not bad! Jiang Xiao, who said you had no friends?

Jiang Xiao felt the buzzing vibration of his phone, ignored the messages, but saw the familiar name in the call records.

Jiang Xiao directly opened WeChat, video, and pinged her!

To Jiang Xiao's surprise, the busy person actually answered after only 2 or 3 seconds of ringing.

"Good morning," Jiang Xiao waved his hand.

But in the video, Er Wei's complexion wasn't good.

Jiang Xiao's palm stiffened slightly, and he cautiously asked, "What's wrong?"

Er Wei raised her eyes to look ahead, as if she was looking at someone. Jiang Xiao also closed his mouth in a timely manner.

Er Wei still looked in the direction outside the camera and said, "Your last mission was well done. Come over anytime. The team wants to give you some encouragement."

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up. He had spent more than a thousand skill points on the Black and White Candle Fire panel the day before yesterday, and today the sponsorship was coming?

Would it be a Third-Class Crescent Moon Medal? Or a Second-Class Crescent Moon Medal?

Of course, the First-Class Full Moon Medal was completely out of the question...

Jiang Xiao thought about it carefully. According to the difficulty of that mission and the impact of the mission target on the entire Kang Ke Jin De, giving himself a Crescent Moon Medal should be more than enough.

Don't look at how simple that mission was for Jiang Xiao. That was only because Jiang Xiao played it fancy and made the most of everything. The difficulty of this mission target, which had troubled the Night Watch Army for so long, was beyond doubt.

Jiang Xiao repeatedly said, "Okay, I'll stay here for two more days. After I get the reward, I'll go to you right away."

Er Wei's gaze finally fell, looking at the phone screen, and said, "Come now, I have something to talk to you about."

Jiang Xiao was shocked and cautiously asked, "I asked you for leave to come to the Kingdom of Westa..."

Before Jiang Xiao could finish speaking, Er Wei interrupted, "Minoia City, notify me before you come, and I'll send someone to pick you up."

With that, Er Wei hung up the communication.

Ugh...

Jiang Xiao clicked his tongue with a distressed expression. He hated people who only said half of what they were going to say the most. People who cut off stories should... live a long life!

Jiang Xiao put on his clothes, walked out of the room, and found a servant, "Find a way to notify Prince Bino as soon as possible. I have to return immediately. Tell him to contact me as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir," the servant nodded and quickly left.

A few minutes later, Prince Bino's call came.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly answered.

"What? Can't stay put? You're leaving?" Prince Bino immediately asked three questions.

"Ah," Jiang Xiao scratched his head. "I have something urgent."

"You don't want the reward?" Prince Bino asked the fourth question.

Jiang Xiao said, "I believe in the strength and character of the Westa royal family. It's the same whether I get it sooner or later. When Sophia prepares the commission, let her notify me. I have to go now."

Hearing that Jiang Xiao was so determined, Prince Bino realized that he really couldn't keep this little Jiu Xing Du Nai.

Anyone who was about to get three space-type Star Beads would probably be willing to wait here, right?

Prince Bino hesitated for a moment and said, "Well... then I'll arrange a plane for you. I can't get away for the time being. You can tell the housekeeper any requests you have. Someone will come to you later. He's fully responsible for your return trip."

"Okay," Jiang Xiao responded crisply.

"Then... thank you for your help this time?" Prince Bino said with a smile, "Next time we go play in the sea, remember to answer my call!"

"Okay," Jiang Xiao muttered, "Answer the phone, definitely answer..."

Although he said that, answering the phone was really just "fate" for Jiang Xiao.

It was fine when he was in school, but whenever Jiang Xiao entered an other-dimensional space, entered the Calamity Shadow Ruins, or went out on a mission, he was basically out of touch with the phone.

Prince Bino: "Oh, right, recently our software has been connected to your country's Weibo. Follow me."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Prince Bino: "Set me as a special follower, so your phone will vibrate when I send a message."

The corner of Jiang Xiao's mouth twitched, "I thought you were being scolded at home, but you're playing on your phone?"

Prince Bino snorted and said, "I'm playing on my phone while being scolded. If I wasn't being scolded, I wouldn't have time to play on my phone..."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Prince Bino continued, "Remember, you have to interact with everything I post, so that people all over the world can see the friendship between the two of us."

Jiang Xiao: "Aren't you especially proud to be friends with a world champion?"

Prince Bino was immediately unhappy and said, "It's your luck and glory to be friends with the Third Prince of Westa!"

Jiang Xiao: "Tch~ who cares about this glory? How about this, I'll follow your sister, and you can have her DM me if anything happens. I don't open DMs from strangers."

Prince Bino: "..."

The phone hung up. A few minutes later, the so-called housekeeper Prince Bino spoke of arrived.

The old man carefully arranged various matters for Jiang Xiao. However, when Jiang Xiao said that his destination was Kang Ke Jin De, a problem arose.

Applying for flight routes for private planes was much more troublesome than Jiang Xiao had imagined. If it were Europe, or even expanding the scope to "ordinary countries," it might not be difficult, but when the destination was Kang Ke Jin De, everything became troublesome.

When Jiang Xiao heard the old housekeeper say that it might take a few weeks to communicate, he was mentally broken.

A few weeks?

Then he might as well return to China directly and then transfer to a military plane to Kang Ke Jin De!

Jiang Xiao had to contact Er Wei again.

After a phone call, the "few weeks" of communication became an accurate message "two hours later."

And an hour and a half later, Jiang Xiao had already obtained permission and boarded Prince Bino's private plane, heading to Kang Ke Jin De.

The steel pipe was still there, but the girl was nowhere to be found.

Jiang Xiao took up his old job and played video games. Fortunately, the save file for "No Man's Sky 4" was still there...

During the 5 or 6-hour journey, Jiang Xiao continued to play from his last save file and still couldn't beat the game. It was embarrassing. He had already played to the end, and the plane slowly landed at a civil airport in the suburbs of Minoia City.

When Jiang Xiao frantically saved the game and looked out the window, he saw a familiar figure: Fu Hei.

Jiang Xiao hadn't fought with Fu Hei before. His understanding of him was limited to other people's descriptions. It was said that this guy was a captain-level figure, who condescended to come to Er Wei's side as a small soldier, not even a small captain. The work he did was really fruitful.

Jiang Xiao politely said goodbye to the attendants on the plane, and with a Flash, he came directly to the side of the military vehicle.

"Nice cloak," Fu Hei glanced at Jiang Xiao, turned around and jumped into the open-top green military vehicle. "Let's go."

Jiang Xiao asked, "Do you know why she called me here? So urgently?"

Fu Hei fiddled with his braids. The braids were very short, and he didn't know how he tied them.

He rested one hand on the door frame, and a few strands of hair on his forehead danced back and forth with the roar of the military vehicle, looking extremely unrestrained. "Ask her, I won't say."

"Oh, is there something even our Captain Fu doesn't dare to say?" Jiang Xiao also rested one hand on the door frame, turning his head to look at Fu Hei.

Fu Hei smiled instead and said, "Being sarcastic?"

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Fu Hei smiled and said, "Changing orders on the battlefield would at most get me a punishment, demoting me to a small soldier. In this critical period, if I dare to offend her, I'll be kicked out of the team, and the Night Watch Army probably won't accept me anymore. Do you want me to defect to the Wasteland Army? Those reckless fools only know how to charge headfirst. The missions they carry out are too simple."

Jiang Xiao: "Watch your words."

"Haha," Fu Hei laughed and said, "I almost forgot, you're also from the Wasteland Army. Tell me, are the goals of your Wasteland Army's missions all particularly clear? You don't have to think, just do it?"

Jiang Xiao looked at Fu Hei with a gloomy gaze and said, "I'm from the Feather Tail Team, strictly speaking, I'm also your superior. Even if I can't be a political commissar, I can still get a vice-team leader position."

Fu Hei pursed his lips and said, "Oh my! Team Leader Jiang, look at this mess. The Wasteland Army is the top team in the country. You, as a Night Watcher, were actually able to infiltrate the Wasteland Army. You've really done your job to the fullest in the soldier industry."

Jiang Xiao always felt that he wasn't saying something good, but there was no evidence...

Jiang Xiao: "Tell me, what's wrong with her?"

Finding that Jiang Xiao was determined to seek an answer, Fu Hei's expression became solemn, and his casual attitude completely changed. He was silent for a long time before opening his mouth, "She locked herself in her room for two full days. The day before yesterday, she just came out of the room.

Everyone could feel that she was trying her best to restrain her emotions. I even think that if she wasn't the Feather Tail Team Leader, she would have done many, many outrageous things by now."

Jiang Xiao: "Hmm?"

Fu Hei said in a deep voice, "The problem is very serious, very, very serious for her personally."

Jiang Xiao frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Fu Hei: "One Tail, you must have heard of him, the Team Leader's old teammate."

Jiang Xiao: "Of course, Xu Li, the old captain of the Feather Tail Team. In fact, I met him not long ago and had a drink together."

Hearing this, Fu Hei's expression became even stiffer.

Jiang Xiao frowned and said, "Speak. That's an order."

Fu Hei didn't expect Jiang Xiao to have a private relationship with One Tail at all.

After all, the members of the Feather Tail Team had died, fled, or gone their separate ways. By the time Jiang Xiao joined the Feather Tail Team, the team was already dead in name.

Fu Hei hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "One Tail is dead."

Jiang Xiao: "Ah!?"

Fu Hei opened his mouth, seemingly preparing his words, spoke several times, but in the end didn't say anything.

Jiang Xiao: "How did he die? Where?"

Fu Hei sighed softly and said, "He died during a mission. You should talk to Er Wei about the specific details."

Jiang Xiao's heart sank. The man who had been drinking and chatting with him at the round table by the sea was gone just like that?
