Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 619: Thousand-Faced Fox

(6)

He certainly can't be considered a good man, but he never lets anyone down.

Some say it is a disease.

A sick person will never learn to say no.

——Reject others’ likes and reject others’ dislikes.

He looked like a selfish person, because he had committed many crimes, but in the end he was always doing things for others, for his brothers, friends, and lovers.

"got used to……"

He had been loved and hated by many people, but even so, he had never refused anyone's request.

"When did you get used to it?"

Su Qing picked up a token and raised it above his head. He squinted and looked at it, muttering, "After obtaining almost endless wealth? No, it should be earlier."

The Shi family's token slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. He picked up the wine jar again and poured wine into his mouth until the wine poured back and vomited all over his body.

"I dare not refuse, I cannot refuse!" Su Qing said in a daze: "Things like that must never happen again!"

——But he still refused.

"Xiang Chuchu! I obviously still love you, why did you force me to make that decision!" Su Qing yelled, and the words were unclear except for these three words: "Murong Yan!"

Murong Yan came out of the tent upon hearing the news and replied, "Master Su, you woke up very early today!"

"It was you who asked me to reject Xiang Chuchu that day!" Su Qing said shamelessly, "We obviously love each other so much, why did you persuade us to break up?!"

Murong Yan said, "Who advised you to separate? Could it be that Mr. Su has the ability to stay with Madam Xiang? If you can't do it, you shouldn't continue to pester her."

"I can do it!" Su Qing covered his head and sat on a tree stump: "I can do it..."

Murong Yan sighed and said, "You can't do it, and you don't want to face this matter at all. Madam Xiang knows this, so she chose to leave quietly last time. This time, you should at least have a decent farewell. Don't act like a child again. You are the oldest brother among us!"

"Just go..." Su Qing seemed very impatient, but he didn't want to vent his anger on Murong Yan: "Leave me alone."

Murong Yan left tactfully and went to fetch water somewhere else with Bai Feng.

Su Qing was in a daze, and thought of an old memory: "Will she be bewitched by the Taiping Dao again? Just like my sister in the past, because of my willfulness and recklessness..."

There wasn't much wine left in the jar, just enough to reflect Su Qing's current appearance.

Depressed and confused, the two mustaches that usually stood on both sides were no longer impressive. Su Qing, who always considered himself to be free and easy, had to accept the reality that he was the least free and easy person in the world.

Can't let go of brothers, can't let go of lovers, can't let go of the past.

God once gave him the opportunity to make a choice, but he chose to give up making a decision.

"Then, they left me one by one."

"Who am I?"

"I'd better go. Please don't come into my dream again. This dream has been long enough..."

After saying that, he kicked over the wine jar and stood up, just as he was about to leave. Unexpectedly, a familiar figure appeared in the woods within his sight. "Xiang Chuchu!" Su Qing walked slowly over: "Is this a dream?"

The shadow left footprints, and he continued to follow...

Bai Feng and Murong Yan had only been away from the camp for half a day when everyone here disappeared. The two built a bonfire and sat side by side until nightfall, but still could not see any trace of their companions.

Bai Feng asserted: "They should have all fallen into the hands of the enemy. We only have each other left, Yan'er."

Murong Yan said: "I can feel that they are nearby."

Bai Feng said: "Yan'er, we only have two choices, abandon them and go to Beizhen alone, or find Hua Ruyi and Ao Yin and kill them, and finally rescue them and go to Beizhen together."

Murong Yan said, "It's late, why don't we spend the night peacefully first. Brother Feng, please don't leave my side."

Bai Feng, holding his sword, stood guard at the camp gate and replied, "Of course."

A shrill whistle suddenly sounded from far away.

"I'm coming." Murong Yan stepped over Bai Feng's guards and came outside, and continued: "Put out the fire!"

Bai Feng did as he was told, put out the campfire, and extinguished all the flames of light. The camp became dark in an instant.

"Yan'er, our eyesight at night is not as good as that of the strange beasts after all. Wouldn't it be like cutting off an arm if we do this?" Bai Feng drew his sword, feeling a little hesitant.

Murong Yan leaned against Bai Feng's back, also took out a dagger, and replied: "Let me be your eyes, Brother Feng."

Then, there was a sound as if of a strong wind blowing through the forest, and fallen leaves were rustling in the wind. In the darkness, four ghostly-fire-like things appeared, hanging in the air. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were two pairs of eyes belonging to strange beasts.

"Don't act rashly!" Murong Yan whispered.

As expected, the strange beast had no intention of attacking. It just stopped there waiting for orders.

Bai Feng asked: "Perhaps, we should carry the flint with us? At night, no one can see us, and the Taiping Daoists can only drive the strange beasts to capture people, but we don't really need to stay in this situation all the time."

"You don't have to tell me that!" Murong Yan joked, "I always carry it with me, don't worry."

Bai Feng was surprised and said, "As expected of you, Yan'er! Always keep the battle situation in your own hands. This is also my principle. It seems that you have mastered a lot of tricks of the 'Spirit Snake Sword Style'."

Not long after he finished speaking, Hua Ruyi's wild laughter rang into his ears.

"Hahaha... you're still flirting at this hour!" She said, "You guys all have unfulfilled wishes, yet you've managed to travel together for such a long time? Some don't know whether to leave or stay, and just force themselves to not forget their gratitude; some fail to achieve their goals, and indulge in the past, becoming increasingly displaced; and some are even worse, lost in love, hate, and vengeance."

Bai Feng said: "How pathetic! How pathetic! How can a few words of mere words make us surrender?"

"Of course, the most puzzling one is you!" Hua Ruyi's confidence and mockery turned into hatred: "You finally escaped from the Taiping Tower, and then took advantage of the trouble in Beizhen to go into exile for many years. Now you are abandoning your peaceful life and choose to return to Beizhen? Since you are tired of living, I don't mind sending you to hell personally!"

Bai Feng said: "Come over here!"

Murong Yan said, "Ruyi, you can't make the same mistake over and over again! Leave Taiping Road and go home, okay?"

"Put away your boring hypocrisy!" Hua Ruyi said, "Among so many people, the only one I want to kill is you, Murong Yan!"

The whistle sounded again, this time becoming even sharper and more shrill, and the strange beast hiding in the darkness was ready to move.
