Chapter 997: Lion’s Appetite!

“Waiting is not enough. If the Sacks are so desperate that they throw all care out the window and just come at us, do we just sit back and wait to die?” Ye Qingcheng immediately voiced her doubt.

“No, but that’s not something I need to consider. As I already said, commanding the main troops is your responsibility,” Bai Xiaofei replied nonchalantly.

Looking at his face that was asking for a beating, Ye Qingcheng suddenly regretted having wasted so much effort to enlighten him.

“Very well! I’ll remember this!” She gritted her teeth, her glare vicious. If looks could kill, Bai Xiaofei would have been dead a thousand times over.

“Don’t be so angry, you’ll get wrinkles. If the Sacks are giving you a headache, I can always give you some advice.” Bai Xiaofei cleared his throat and rubbed his fingers.

“Don’t forget that your little girl’s life is hanging on only because of me!” Ye Qingcheng decisively used her killer move.

“It’s Ye Xi who is helping to preserve Qing’er’s life at the moment. And moreover, you agreed to help in exchange for the Thunderstorm Bandits’ labor. However, if you want to be an emperor who goes back on her word, I don’t mind helping you make it known to the whole world,” Bai Xiaofei chortled as he completely triumphed over the argument.

“Very good! Consider yourself formidable! Just say what you want then!” Ye Qingcheng said coldly, trying to intimidate him from going too far.

“Status and titles!” immediately replied Bai Xiaofei.

Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng paused briefly before a look of obvious contempt appeared on her face.

“So that’s it, huh? In the end, you’re no different,” Ye Qingcheng commented as her contempt turned into disappointment. From just a few words, her view of Bai Xiaofei plummeted.

“It’s not for me, it’s for those who returned with me. Such things have no meaning to me, but they are what those people have pursued their whole life,” Bai Xiaofei elaborated.

Ye Qingcheng once again paused as her disappointment became disbelief.

“Are you dreaming?! How do you want me to explain to others about giving status and titles to over 600 people at once?! Even if you guys did create a miracle…”

“That’s right! It is exactly because we have created a miracle that no one in the entire Moonlight could, a miracle that helped you stabilize the morale of your army. I’m only responsible for presenting our demands. Implementing them is your business, not mine,” said Bai Xiaofei flatly.

Ye Qingcheng didn’t know what to say to this. In the end, she clenched her jaw and said, “I want to hear your so-called advice before I make a decision.”

“Station troops close to each other, press the enemy slowly, lock down all routes, eliminate all possible troubles!”

Ye Qingcheng was ready to listen to a long speech, but Bai Xiaofei only gave her these words.

“That’s it?!” she asked with a glare.

Bai Xiaofei didn’t answer and only looked at her quietly.

Ye Qingcheng calmed down and carefully thought about those words. As she did, the expression on her face changed again and again. At first glance, Bai Xiaofei’s answer seemed perfunctory, but when looking into it closer, the meaning behind it was quite deep.
