Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 618: Thousand-Faced Fox

"Ako! Ako!"

"Where on earth did this kid go?"

"Did Miss A Ke meet with an accident?"

Bai Feng, Murong Yan, and Yu Wenxuan looked at each other and walked as close together as possible. Although the forest was barren and the leaves were withered, with almost no shelter, they were still very cautious and searched around Murong Yan.

Yu Wenxuan asked, "Is it really okay to leave Brother Su Qing alone in the camp? He has been drunk ever since he said goodbye to Madam Xiang that day. It's really worrying."

Bai Feng said: "Since Brother Su doesn't want to come with us, then let him do as he pleases. Anyway, with his skills, he won't fall into the hands of the Taiping Dao easily."

The ordinary official road winds forward in the wilderness of Cangzhou. Here is the intersection of grassland and plain. You can often see grass slopes and plains reflecting each other and rising and falling.

The dead leaves that fall on it turn into nutrients for new life, attracting all kinds of attention. For example, there are a few sparrows flying around there now. They are picking up ripe hazelnuts on the ground to eat, and they don't stop when they see humans disturbing them.

"Come here." Murong Yan reached out to catch a few birds that responded to her call, whispered to them, and continued, "Go, go!"

Yu Wenxuan asked in confusion: "Miss Murong, what are you doing?"

"Let's ask the birds to help us find A Ke!" Although Murong Yan was still worried, she would always be filled with joy when she came into contact with small animals, with a flawless smile like a young girl: "Don't worry, they have reported to me that they are safe. The child is safe now."

Yu Wenxuan asked suspiciously: "Is that so? Unbelievable..."

Bai Feng said: "Focus on the road. If you don't want to believe, you don't have to believe it."

After a moment, Murong Yan suddenly stopped, let the sparrow in the air land on her shoulder, and said, "The little guys are back! They are talking about... that direction!"

Where Murong Yan pointed, a tiny figure slowly appeared on the horizon. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes had several holes in them, and half of her body was wet, as if she had just crawled out of a puddle.

"Ake..." Bai Feng went to greet him. Yu Ke also walked up to Bai Feng and knelt down to greet him: "Brother, I was fighting with the gangsters last night and accidentally fell into a puddle. I got bruises all over my body. I just came back now. Please punish me, brother!"

Bai Feng said: "Go back and bandage your wound first, and we can talk about other matters later."

Yuwenxuan led the way back to the camp first. Murong Yan remained silent. She just made some eye contact with A Ke, and then immediately looked away uneasily.

Inside the camp, Su Qing was still drunk, Murong Yan was busy bandaging Yu Ke's wounds, and Bai Feng was discussing with Yu Wenxuan which route to take next. Everything seemed normal.

"Why...are you still not leaving?" Su Qing's drunken words woke the man up from his sleep: "It's already this late, what are you still doing here!"

After saying this, he turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

Bai Feng said to Yu Wenxuan, "Yan'er's intuition is always accurate. We were forced to stay here for a day. I think it must be Hua Ruyi and Ao Yin who are at work. Do you think Hua Ruyi has disguised herself as one of us and has infiltrated us?"

"Brother Bai, you look at me like this, do you not believe me?" Yu Wenxuan said: "In any case, we can only keep moving forward."

Bai Feng said: "This is the only way... Let's see how serious A Ke's injuries are. According to the current situation, if Hua Ruyi wants to pretend to be someone, A Ke, who has been missing for a night, is the most likely candidate."

Yu Wenxuan agreed, "Injuries can't be faked. It's not surprising that your muscles and bones are bruised after falling from a height."

The two nodded affirmatively to each other.

Soon, Murong Yan walked out of the tent, and Bai Feng and Yuwen Xuan rushed to ask.

"Yan'er, how is A Ke's injury?"

"Is there anything strange about Miss Ake? For example, why did she suddenly become a little strange?"

Murong Yan hesitated for a moment, then replied reluctantly: "Ake's left arm was dislocated, her right foot was broken, and there were many scratches on her body. I think if it was Hua Ruyi, she wouldn't hurt herself like this... But, I can't tell what's wrong. She is Ake, I have no reason not to believe her!"

Bai Feng asked: "Have you ever tried to tear off her 'human skin mask'?"

"How can I do such a thing... I can't do it." Murong Yan replied: "If she is not, then how can I face A Ke? When Brother Feng was not around, I was able to survive thanks to A Ke. How can I hurt her? Otherwise, you guys go and do this..."

Yu Wenxuan was dazed and said, "How can we do this?! However, Brother Su Qing should be able to do it!" He looked back at the drunkard and said helplessly, "It's a pity that he is not conscious now." Bai Feng said, "Then let's take a day off and continue our journey tomorrow."

After seeing the two people traveling with him nod one after another, Bai Feng returned to the edge of the camp to keep watch with a serious expression on his face.

Even if you choose to believe temporarily, the grudge in your heart still lingers.

Yu Wenxuan knew that Murong Yan and Bai Feng, two of A Ke's closest relatives, were unwilling to question A Ke's identity, so he planned to try it himself. However, this was not a glorious thing to do: taking advantage of a little girl when she was seriously injured was not a gentleman's behavior no matter who did it.

Therefore, Yu Wenxuan did not want to let any third person know and could only act secretly.

When Murong Yan and Bai Feng were not near the tent, Yu Wenxuan sneaked in, and Yu Ke's graceful back appeared in front of him.

The woman quickly put on her clothes and asked, "Yu Wenxuan, what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"

"Miss Ake..." Although Yu Wenxuan was scolded, he felt inexplicably relieved in his heart: "Seeing that you still have so much strength to speak, I feel relieved."

"Open the camp gate and turn around." The woman said, "I want to go out and get some fresh air."

Yu Wenxuan asked with concern: "Do you need me to accompany you?"

"Whatever you want!" The woman pounded the ground with her crutch. She passed by Yu Wenxuan, leaving a scent of medicine.

Yu Wenxuan was worried, so he followed behind silently.

The two men were only three feet apart, one in front and one behind, and were getting closer and closer. It was not because Yu Wenxuan was walking fast, but because Yu Ke, who was injured, could not walk anymore.

Suddenly, he stumbled, and Yu Wenxuan felt a fragrant body falling into his arms.

"Miss Ake, are you okay?"

"fine……"

"Let's sit over there for a while."

"Help me up, I can walk by myself."

The simple wooden crutches were very inconvenient, but Yu Ke still insisted on walking to the place and sitting down by herself. She asked, "Yu Wenxuan, why do you care about me so much?"

"I'm not particularly concerned, but because of Hua Ruyi's matter, I have to pay more attention." Yu Wenxuan immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and said in a panic: "No offense, I'm not questioning Miss A Ke!"

She said, "I thought you had always liked me. It seems that I was overthinking it. That's right. How could an ordinary person like me, with no dreams, no status, and no stunning beauty, be liked by His Royal Highness?"

"Miss A Ke, there is no need to belittle yourself like that. I... I may not be that kind to you... But, Miss A Ke is indeed the woman with the strongest will and the most superb martial arts that I have ever seen! Ever since Da Dian was defeated by Miss A Ke five years ago, I have always believed this, and it has not changed to this day!"

She tried her best to stand up, but before she could gain a firm foothold, Yu Wenxuan immediately supported her waist muscles.

She said, "So, you like me?"

Yu Wenxuan didn’t know if he had ever thought about letting go, but facing Yu Ke’s passionate hug and kiss, he leaned forward unconsciously.

——A familiar smell.

--here we go again.

--Ok!

Yu Wenxuan suddenly opened his eyes, and found himself unable to move, while the injured "Yu Ke" was alive and kicking. He asked, "Hua Ruyi! Aren't your bones broken? How come your injuries are completely healed?"

The woman smiled flatteringly and said, "I forgot to tell you that my 'bone shrinking skill' can also fake bone injuries. A group of people who think they are kind still can't resist the desires in their hearts!"

"You lost."

After the woman finished speaking, two mastiffs appeared and patrolled around Yu Wenxuan. Then he was hit by a heavy punch and fainted completely.
