C66 (1/2)

The Far Sea was in front, with Xiu'er in the middle, far bright, and Yuan Zhi divided into two sides. Three monks escorted the Xiu'er out of the Fire Phoenix Army camp like they were escorting them from both sides, and then walked towards the Moqiu Army array.

They seemed to be escorting him, but in reality, they were protecting him. When they stepped into the Moqiu Army Army Formation, Xiu'er could almost feel the eyes of the soldiers piercing onto him. If not for the few monks accompanying them, these soldiers could have easily torn him apart just by looking at them. But now, one by one, they lowered their heads, making way for the monks. No matter how much she hated Xiu'er, she would only hastily raise his head and stare at Xiu'er viciously before quickly lowering his head.

Monks have a high status. They don't produce, they don't know martial arts, they don't kill people, they don't even curse people. But they were the most pious believers of the Beast God, and the most reliable servants of the Lord Messenger of God. If in the hearts of the soldiers, the Beast God held the highest position, and their families, friends, honor, etc., held the other places, then in the hearts of the monks, there was nothing else but the Beast God. No one could be compared to this level of devotion.

As Yuanhai was walking at the front, every time he reached, the soldiers couldn't help but open up a path for him. There was a trace of deep admiration on Yuanhai's smiling face. His admiration for the Xiu'er.

These were the most elite troops under the Ninth Tiger King. Last night's humiliation had caused their fighting spirit to soar to the sky. Although they had cleared the path, their murderous gazes were still there, and the hatred in their hearts was still there. Far Sea could clearly feel the murderous intent in the soldiers' eyes. Although they were restraining themselves, no one could resist the momentum of tens of thousands of soldiers gathered together.

But the Lord Xiu behind him could.

Other than the commander of the Fire Phoenix Army, Yuanhai didn't know anything else about this Lord Xiu. However, when he was about to leave, the Lord Messenger of God had clearly stated that she wanted to ”bring this Lord Xiu to the Beast God Temple safely and with perfect etiquette”.

Lord Messenger of God was a cultured and polite person, so he often used the word ”please”, but adding two prefixes to the word ”please” was almost never done. Far away, he would only do it. When he truly brought back Lord Xiu, the performance of this little girl who didn't even look to be twenty behind him was far beyond his expectations.

She passed through the crowd of soldiers without a single glance. She didn't show any signs of fear on her face. The trace of a smile on her face was not an act, but more of a self-confidence.

They successfully passed through the soldiers' formation and arrived in front of a large tent. Yuanhai apologetically saluted to Xiu'er, saying that he wanted to report to him. Xiu'er politely returned the greeting, telling Yuanhai Master to take care of his work first. The politeness between the two of them seemed to have coincidentally met in the most elegant teahouse. It was completely at odds with the somber atmosphere around them.

A moment later, Yuanhai came back and indicated that he had already informed Fourth Tiger King that not only would he not launch an attack at Fire Phoenix Army in the next few days, he would even provide him with all the necessary food in full capacity.

Xiu'er expressed her thanks to Yuanhai, and asked him about how binding Lord Messenger of God's orders were.

Yuan Hai smiled faintly, indicating that the reason why Ninth Tiger King and Tenth Tiger King stayed in Mo Qiu didn't participate in the Phoenix City Pass was probably because they had other plans. But there was only one reason why Fourth Tiger King stayed in the Moqiu State, and that was loyalty.

The Fire Phoenix Army was not far from Mo Qiu, so after they left the Fourth Tiger King's camp, they boarded three horse carriages. The horses were so fast that the wheels were rumbling, and they arrived at the foot of Mo Qiu in less than four hours. Xiu'er followed Yuanhai and the others up the stone steps. As she stood at the entrance of the Moqiu City, he turned his head and looked back, taking a panoramic view of the ten thousand kilometers of prairie. A red sun had already set on the horizon, drawing a golden-red line of light in front of him. Be it during the battles before, or escaping for their lives, Xiu'er had never seen the setting sun in detail before, nor did she have such a view. Now, when she suddenly turned his head, he discovered that the setting sun of Mo Qiu was a little less gentle and beautiful than the setting sun of Fire Phoenix Empire, a little less desolate and desolate than the setting sun of Wulian Mountain Range, and a little less desolate and somber than the setting sun of Phoenix City Pass. Thinking about it, Xiu'er suddenly thought of Kong Sheng, how long had it been since they last watched the sunset together?

Xiu'er looked at the setting sun in a daze. Yuanhai did not urge her, and just quietly stood at the side with her head lowered. After a long while, Xiu'er finally turned around and smiled apologetically at Yuanhai. Hai Yang smiled back at him, then extended her hand in the direction of the city gate, gesturing for him to come over.

At first glance, Moqiu City could not even compare to a slightly larger town called Fire Phoenix Empire. All the buildings were made of stone, and there was nothing special about them. There were no decorations either. The streets were also made of a stone and were narrow. Some parts of the streets had even been polished off, so he believed that if he walked there after the rain, it would be a particularly wonderful feeling.

The people from Moqiu City were also as indifferent as the city was. They smiled and waved, bowed, and greeted the crowd, politely letting the monks and the guests go first. A fat aunt even pulled Yuan Zhi back, saying that she had learned a new type of dessert and would definitely let him bring her back to Lord Messenger of God to taste it. The fat auntie said while handing over a small basket to Yuan Zhi. Yuan Zhi did not decline and thanked the fat aunt with a smile, saying that he would definitely deliver it to the Lord Messenger of God.

Their lives were so dull and their pace was so slow that even Xiu'er found it difficult to adapt to it. However, all of their smiles came from the bottom of their hearts and it hung on their faces.

Xiu'er asked Yuanhai in a soft voice. ”Yuanhai Master, could it be that they didn't know what happened last night ~ ~”

Yuanhai smiled and nodded, ”They know, they know.”

The Xiu'er was curious, ”How can she be so calm?”

The corners of Yuanhai's mouth curled up, ”Because they believe in Beast God, and believe in Lord Messenger of God.” Since Beast God and Lord Messenger of God can take care of everything, what is there to worry about? ”

”Then what if ~ ~ if ~ ~ I'm saying if something happens?” Xiu'er was unwilling to let him go.

The curve on the corner of Yuanhai's mouth became even more obvious, ”What if ~ ~ If I can't even deal with Beast God, then there won't be any help for me if I have to frown.”

Hearing this answer, Xiu'er also laughed, this seemingly unreasonable answer was actually very reasonable.

The entire structure of the Moqiu City was built outwards in a radiating manner, and the highest building in the center of the city was also the Beast God Pagoda. The most grand building under the Beast God Pagoda was the Beast God Temple.
