Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Will our lives be completely different from what they are now?

In the Evil Prison headquarters, Xiao Yan, who had just seen Yunying off, came into the room. Xiao Yixian's body was lying quietly on the bed, with only Xiao Mei guarding her.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, you're back?"

Xiao Yan chuckled and nodded.

"Where are Sister Xiao Yu and the others?"

"They are all busy with their own affairs. The Evil Prison has just unified the Black Horn Region, and the Little Medical Fairy has become like this. Almost all the pressure is on Sister Xiao Yu." Xiao Mei shrugged helplessly, then remembered something and hurriedly said: "Oh, cousin Xiao Yan, there is a clue about the one called Bodhi!"

"Bodhi? Bodhi's incarnation saliva?!"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Mei nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the name! Xiao Ning said he found a clue these days, and Teacher Han Feng went with him."

After getting Xiao Mei's confirmation, Xiao Yan was overjoyed, but he quickly calmed down and gave Xiao Mei instructions in a serious voice.

"Mei'er, I'll leave this matter and the Black Horn Territory to you. I have to go back to the Gama Empire in the next few days."

"Return to the Gama Empire?" Xiao Mei was stunned for a moment, and then a look of realization appeared in her eyes, "The three-year agreement is about to expire?"

"Not only this reason, I just received news that things are not going well around the Jia Ma Empire recently, and a war may break out soon."

"War breaks out?!" Xiao Mei panicked and said quickly, "Cousin Xiao Yan! Let's go back together! Besides, there are still so many fighters in the Black Horn Region, they will definitely be able to help!"

“Mei’er, calm down first.” Xiao Yan patted Xiao Mei’s head gently and said soothingly, “It’s just a possibility. A war may not really break out. Moreover, the Black Horn Region has just stabilized. If we withdraw all the combat forces from the Black Horn Region at this point in time, the Black Horn Region may return to its previous state without anyone to watch over it. Then all our efforts in the past two years will be wasted.”

"This"

Xiao Mei's face showed bitterness. Xiao Yan smiled and handed a token to Xiao Mei.

This was made by Xiao Yan imitating Zi Yun, and some remaining strange fire aura was injected into the token.

"If anything happens in the Black Horn Region, you can crush the token. If the token breaks suddenly, it means that I need help. It won't be too late for you to call for help then."

".ok, I get it."

Xiao Mei nodded and put the token away. Then Xiao Yan took out the coffin and carefully placed the body of Xiao Yixian on the bed into the coffin.

When Xiao Mei saw the coffin, she was extremely shocked.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, is this a coffin???"

Whose coffin is so luxurious? In general, can such a luxurious coffin really be sold?

"Haha. This is a friend of mine whose family happens to be doing a related business. I guess this is the first time their family has started a business, so they don't know much about this aspect."

Xiao Yan smiled, closed the coffin lid, and a black chain appeared in his hand to lock the coffin tightly. He picked it up and moved it slightly.

Well, it’s okay. It’s much heavier than the Xuanzhong ruler, but it’s acceptable.

At least with such a sturdy coffin, even if he really encountered any emergency, he would not have to worry about Xiao Yixian's body being injured.

(Hey! Xiao Yan! Be gentle! Don’t hurt my body!)

(Don't worry, the inside of this coffin is very soft, it's okay.)

Xiao Yan responded with a smile in his heart, put the coffin on his back and waved to Xiao Mei.

"Then Mei'er, please go talk to the others. I'm leaving now."

"Cousin Xiao Yan."

Xiao Mei stretched out her hand and was about to say something, but Xiao Yan had already left with the coffin on his back, causing a hint of bitterness in Xiao Mei's eyes. She then let out a long sigh and muttered to herself.

"Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei, you have grown up. Don't cling to cousin Xiao Yan like before."

After saying this, Xiao Mei turned around and looked out the window. After a long time, she spread her arms, stretched, turned around and left the room.

"Well, I should go back to the orphanage. Those kids haven't seen me these past few days. They must miss me a lot."

Jia Ma Empire, a border fortress, an old man stood on the city wall, looking at the endless desert.

Nalan Jie, the lion-hearted marshal of the Jiama Empire.

His current strength is that of a five-star Douhuang.

Just yesterday, he received a letter from Yun Yun, the leader of the Yunlan Sect, in which he was told that his granddaughter had safely come out of the Gate of Life and Death, which made him very happy.

However, the joy did not last long and was overshadowed by deep sorrow.

Now that the war is about to break out, he has no time to waste too much time on his granddaughter.

As the commander-in-chief of the Gama Empire's border defense, he must always focus on resisting invasion.

By the way, Yanran, do you know about that?

Nalan Jie was worried, when a heroic voice came from behind him.

"General Nalan, it's time to eat, why are you still standing here?"

Nalan Jie turned around and saw a heroic and majestic short-haired woman climbing up the city wall.

Xiao Li, the younger sister of the imperial teacher Xiao Ji, has grown into a new general of the empire in two years. Her skin has become a little darker, and her hair, which was not long to begin with, has been cut even shorter. At first glance, she looks like a handsome young man.

According to Xiao Li, long hair is a hindrance.

Because of this, the women in the army initially misunderstood her gender and secretly regarded Xiao Li as an object of admiration. When they learned her real gender, many women were quite disappointed, but many women still admired her even more.

There are also many men in the army who secretly have a crush on Xiao Li, who is a woman but more generous and magnanimous than men.

In short, this person is popular with both men and women in the army, although he has no idea how popular he is.

His current strength is that of a one-star Dou Wang.

This time, the power to guard the border is in the hands of Nalan Jie, while Xiao Li is responsible for commanding the snake people who come to the border to help guard it.

The Snake People have just joined the Gama Empire for two years, and some of them must still have some grudges against the Gama Empire. Xiao Li serves as their superior and acts as a buffer zone.

After all, Xiao Li has been leading the Snake People to rebuild Chisha City in the past two years. The Snake People feel much better about her than about the Gama Empire. Although Xiao Li is a general of the Gama Empire, they feel much better about obeying Xiao Li's orders than directly obeying the orders of the Gama Empire.

Hearing Xiao Li's words, Nalan Jie did not respond, and his gaze turned again to the endless desert outside the city wall. Xiao Li also knew what he was worried about, and said carelessly.

"Don't worry, those three countries don't have the guts to invade. Even if they do come, we have enough people to deal with them. We can easily beat them until they cry!"

"."

Xiao Li's bold words did not put Nalan Jie at ease at all, and he felt quite helpless.

When it comes to fighting and leading troops, Xiao Li can be said to be impeccable, but the fact that he does things without considering the consequences is fatal. Nalan Jie knows very well how many messes Xiao Yu has helped Xiao Li to clean up in the past two years.

It can be said that if Xiao Ji had not helped her to clean up the mess, Xiao Li would not have been able to reach the position of general no matter how many military achievements she had made. This child has no knowledge of the ways of the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Xiao Li had half the brains of Xiao Ji, Nalan Jie would immediately hand over the marshal position to Xiao Li and announce his retirement to return to the Holy City of Gama to retire.

But given Xiao Li's completely reckless personality, Nalan Jie really couldn't give her the position of marshal.

Xiao Li's personality makes him suitable for being a general, but he is far from being able to be a marshal. With this personality, being a marshal would be a death sentence for the army.

Nalan Jie couldn't understand. Xiao Li was obviously Xiao Ji's sister, so why was there such a big difference in their intelligence?

Chapter 438 Manliness

"General Nalan, why are you sighing?"

Looking at Nalan Jie who was sighing deeply, Xiao Li asked with a puzzled look on her face. Nalan Jie glanced at her lightly but did not answer, and looked into the distance again.

"Xiao Li, we are soldiers. We have countless civilians who depend on us to protect us. We must not be so careless and underestimate the enemy. We must be fully alert." Nalan Jie's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, when the time comes, all you will experience is useless regret."

"General Hanalan, even you like to preach. I've heard enough of my elder sister's preaching."

Xiao Li covered her forehead with her hands with a slightly uncomfortable expression. Xiao Wei had nagged her a lot in the past two years, causing her to instinctively feel a headache whenever she thought of Xiao Wei.

However, even though Xiao Yu had preached to Xiao Li so many times, judging from Xiao Li's reaction, it was obvious that he didn't listen much.

(It seems like there is still a long time before I retire.)

Nalan Jie glanced at Xiao Li lightly. At this moment, Xiao Li suddenly thought of something and slammed his hand hard.

"Ah! I totally forgot! I promised last time to bring Xiaoxiao some fun things back!" Xiao Li scratched his hair with a headache, "This is terrible, I can't get away from here at all."

"."

Nalan Jie was stunned for a moment and asked in a deep voice.

"Xiao Li, what do you think of Xiao Xiao?"

"Ah? What do you think? He just seems like a very cute child." Xiao Li was a little surprised by Nalan Jie's question. He crossed his arms and nodded nostalgically. "Speaking of which, Xiaoxiao is such a naughty child. It reminds me of my brother when he was a child. He was exactly the same as Xiao Yanzi before their mother passed away. He always led the Xiao family's brothers and sisters to jump up and down, and he did every bad thing a child could do."

Although Xiao Yan is mature and steady now, before the death of the mother of the three siblings, Xiao Yan was definitely the wildest one in the family. Not only was he wild, but he also brought his brothers and sisters to be wild together. Those guys had caused chaos in the Xiao family and no matter how they taught them a lesson, it was useless.

However, when his mother passed away, Xiao Yan was depressed for a while, as if he had suddenly grown up. He knew how to help the Xiao family and learned to take care of his brothers and sisters. Although this made the adults in the Xiao family quite pleased, the fact that Xiao Yan's character could change so much in an instant was enough to prove that he suffered multiple blows when his mother passed away.

It's a good thing for a child to be sensible, but if he suddenly becomes too sensible, that's really heartbreaking.

When Nalan Jie heard Xiao Li's words, dark lines appeared in his eyes.

Oh my goodness, the source is here. He has always wondered, with Yun Yun’s personality and Xiao Yan’s personality, how could Yun Xiao be so wild?

Now, I finally got the answer. I can only say that genes are really powerful.

"Speaking of which, Sect Master Yun is really unexpected. She gave birth to a child without saying anything, and we still don't even know who the father of the child is." Xiao Li said, pinching his chin in confusion. "But it's really strange. Every time I see Xiaoxiao, I feel close to her. I often see the shadow of my brother when he was a child in her. Why is that?"

"."

Nalan Jie was speechless.

Who is Yun Xiao's father? You have told the answer yourself. Did you really not realize it?

(Given this girl's slowness, it would be hard for her to be a general.)

Nalan Jie pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache. Xiao Li would be one of the pillars of the Jia Ma Empire after he retired in the future. Would this really work?

But most people really can't think of it.

Nalan Jie looked up at the sky. Anyone in the empire who is slightly familiar with Xiao Yan and Yun Yun should know about it. At present, only Xiao Li was completely unaware.

But it’s okay if Xiao Li doesn’t know.

Based on Nalan Jie's understanding of her, if Xiao Li really knew that Yun Xiao was Xiao Yan's child, she would definitely drop everything and rush to the Black Horn Region to pull Xiao Yan back. Xiao Yu probably didn't tell her clearly because he was afraid of this.

"Xiao Li!"

Suddenly, a startled roar came from under the city wall. Xiao Li turned around and looked down at Mobas standing below and asked loudly.

"What's wrong?!"

"The spies from the Snake Tribe sent back a message that there was a large number of noisy footsteps ahead. Judging from the noise, it should be the human army!"

"Um?!"

Xiao Li's expression suddenly became solemn. Nalan Jie also tensed up immediately. He spread his wings of fighting spirit behind him and flew into the air. He squinted his eyes and looked at the desert thousands of miles away.

Nalan Jie's sight passed through the yellow sand and he vaguely saw countless figures gradually approaching here. He no longer hesitated and his roar instantly spread throughout the fortress.

"All alert!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the human and snake soldiers who were originally packing up to eat immediately dropped everything in their hands, put on their helmets and armor, and held their weapons tightly. In just a few breaths, they lined up neatly, stepped out of the fortress gate in an orderly manner, lined up in a row, and stared solemnly straight ahead.

Xiao Li also jumped down from the city wall and stood in the forefront of the army. A spear appeared in his hand and a murderous look was revealed on his face. He was not as casual as before.

The soldiers standing behind him suddenly felt extremely relieved, as if as long as they followed the female general in front of them, any enemy would be easily torn to pieces.

And in the sky behind Xiao Li, three snakemen leaders were hovering in the air.

Mobas, Yanci, and Heidu, all three have broken through to the Douhuang realm in the past two years!

However, even though the three of them were Dou Huangs, which were much higher in rank than Xiao Li, who was a one-star Dou Wang, on this battlefield, they and their snakemen soldiers would absolutely obey Xiao Li's orders.

First, they believe in Xiao Li, and second, Xiao Li is stronger than them!

“Here we come!” Nalan Jie stood on the city wall and shouted, “Hold your weapons tightly! Defend our country!!!”

The atmosphere at the border was extremely solemn.

As time went by, the marching shadows got closer and closer, and the hearts of the Gama Empire soldiers became more and more nervous.

Finally, after marching across the yellow sand, the black-armored soldiers, which were in stark contrast to the silver-white armor of the Gama Empire, were exposed to their sight.

Nalan Jie, who was standing on the city wall, made a rough calculation and found that the number was more than hundreds of thousands! It was dozens of times the number of border soldiers!

And no single country, whether it is Izumo, Rakugan or Mulan, can provide such a number of soldiers!

(Sure enough, is it true that the three countries joined forces to investigate the intelligence?!)
