Looking at Yue Yu's gradually receding back, Jiang Mo sighed softly, then held Fei Xiao's hand, slowly leaned against the pillar supporting the military tent, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Before Feixiao wakes up... let's rest for a while..."
Jiang Mo thought so.
......
As time passed, the sounds outside the military tent changed from the previous silence to a little...noisy, as if the Cloud Cavalry Army was temporarily free to move around.
Amidst the noisy sounds, Jiang Mo slowly opened his eyes, then subconsciously turned his head to look at Feixiao who was lying on a simple sleeping bag beside him. The girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly at this moment, as if she was about to wake up.
Seeing this, Jiang Mo tightened his grip on Feixiao's hand a little, as if intending to use this method to let Feixiao feel his presence first after waking up.
"Well..."
Accompanied by a faint moan, Fei Xiao slowly opened his eyes. His emerald eyes looked around tiredly, and then he asked in a low voice:
"We...won?"
"Well, thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't have won so easily."
Jiang Mo squeezed her hand gently, as if to comfort her, but also as if to prepare her for what might happen next.
Hearing Jiang Mo's words, Fei Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, then gently raised his head and looked at the pair of black eyes that were staring at him intently.
"...I don't know why this happened. After I saw that blood moon, a certain power in my blood began to stir. Anger took over my heart, and then I..."
"Then you protected a number of Cloud Riders who were nearly killed by the enhanced Buli Werewolf."
Jiang Mo's words made Fei Xiao silent for a moment, and then he smiled self-deprecatingly.
"...You are quite good at comforting people." The girl lowered her eyebrows. She remembered the gazes she felt before she fell into a coma, and the expression on her face gradually became solemn.
She knew that even if a few people looked at her with a little joy in their eyes, that joy would soon be assimilated into fear as time went by.
Who would be willing to fight alongside a ticking time bomb that could go out of control at any moment?
Thinking of this, Feixiao slowly closed her eyes. Just when she was about to say something... a vague voice floated into her ears from outside the military tent.
"Don't you see she has no tail? That's a bit too..."
"It's natural, right? So pitiful... Maybe he's acting so aggressively just to prove that not having a tail doesn't really matter?"
"Don't you know? She used to be Bu Liren's war slave, so of course she's fierce when she gets angry!"
"No wonder... After all, I've been abused by Bu Liren. If it were me, I'd be just as aggressive."
"No? Don't you know it's Moon Maniac?! What does this have to do with past experiences? This is clearly a bloodline issue!"
"I was almost scared to death at the time, afraid that she would suddenly disown everyone and kill us and Bu Liren together..."
"But if it weren't for her, we probably wouldn't have won so easily this time, right? Jiang Xiaowei couldn't have protected all of us. Those Bu Li people who had been strengthened by the vision were really..."
Suddenly, the sounds outside the military tent became more hazy, and a warm touch came from Feixiao's ears.
She raised her head slightly, and sure enough, Jiang Mo covered her ears again, as if he was worried that she would be affected by the noise.
However, Feixiao is no longer the little girl who once stood in front of the Pingrong stage, feeling at a loss because of some people's strange looks.
When she woke up, she was ready to face reality. She knew very well that these voices would accompany her throughout her life, and even when her life came to an end, these voices would still haunt her.
But compared to these, Feixiao cares more about the attitudes of the people around him.
'He's still the same as before...that's enough.'
Feeling the slight electric shock coming from the tip of his ear, Feixiao pursed his lips and couldn't help but think so in his heart.
"Don't worry about what they say, Feixiao." The young man who covered her ears said so, and his fingertips gently brushed the girl's silver hair along her earlobe.
"Nothing in this world is certain. Just because you have Moon Mania doesn't mean you'll lose your mind and turn into a beast that can't distinguish friend from foe."
"According to the Ten Kings Division and the Alchemy Division, although my power comes from the Lord of Joy, its nature is still similar to that of Moon Madness. However, even in the previous battle at the Industrial Division and the recent war, I was able to distinguish between friend and foe."
Jiang Mo lowered his head slightly as he spoke, looking quietly into those emerald eyes, and said softly:
"Whether it's the power of joy or the power of 'Moon Madness,' in essence...power is merely a tool to help people achieve their goals."
“Only humans determine the purpose and nature of their tools; tools never determine humans.”
"Time and victory after victory will show them that even the feared Moon Madman can, in the right hands, become a strong shield to protect his comrades."
The black hair hanging down in front of Jiang Mo's forehead swept across Fei Xiao's cheek, which was slightly pale due to exhaustion. The white shirt stained with dark purple blood was entangled with the girl's blood-stained silver hair. The noise outside the tent receded like a tide, and only the warmth of the palm of his hand penetrated the tip of his ear and reached his heart.
"Don't worry too much about your past, because the past is gone. Don't let things that don't matter hold you back. This is what it means to be free from worry."
“Don’t regret every decision you make or every punch you throw, because regretting it is useless. Only by moving forward with determination can you become stronger. This is what it means to be free from worry.”
"And once you achieve 'no worries' and 'no worries'... you'll realize that the enemy we face is actually only ourselves from beginning to end."
"As long as we are better than we were yesterday, we will always be on the road to victory and will always be invincible."
"Better than...yesterday's self?"
Looking at the pair of black eyes that seemed to be always as calm as water, Feixiao couldn't help but repeat in a low voice.
At the same time, an indescribable feeling slowly emerged from her heart, and in a trance, she seemed to have come to the scarlet wasteland again.
But this time, what appeared before her eyes was not the blood moon, but... "herself" with a playful smile on his face.
Just when Feixiao was about to say something, a heroic female voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"Hey! You know that without her, our victory wouldn't be so easy, right? Do you have to stand at the door of someone's resting tent to gossip about others?"
"If you have time, go help out at the medical tent! Don't talk nonsense here."
"Okay, okay!"
The next moment, the curtain of the military tent was suddenly lifted, and Yukong, with long dark green hair, slowly walked in from outside the tent.
"Hey, Jiang Mo, what's going on here? You're not even shying away from gossiping about other people. Even getting so close to someone's face wouldn't be that serious...right?"
Looking at the backs of the cloud riders going away, Yukong shook his head, and as he spoke, he looked into the military tent, and then...
Yukong's brain went into a state of shutdown.
Because of the perspective and the fact that Jiang Mo was still covering Feixiao's ears, it looked to Yukong like... Jiang Mo was pressing on Feixiao's head, as if he was going to kiss him.
Seeing this scene, Yukong's mouth twitched slightly, and then he hurriedly lowered the curtain of the military tent and fled from the "crime scene".
"I didn't see anything! You two keep going! I'll tell Ningli to come back later!!"
Listening to Yukong's voice that was gradually becoming blurred, Jiang Mo and Feixiao showed a look of surprise on their faces.
"Did Stewardess Yu... misunderstand something?"
“I think so…right?”

Looking at the door curtain that was shaking slightly because of Yukong's rapid rush, Jiang Mo's mouth trembled slightly, and then he sighed helplessly.
Forget it, let it be a misunderstanding. Anyway, the relationship has come to this point...there is no such thing as a misunderstanding or not.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mo subconsciously pinched Feixiao's fox ears, feeling the slight vibration from his fingertips, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"At least judging by Feixiao's reaction now, she wasn't too affected by what these people said...which is a good thing."
"But we still have to keep a close eye on things from now on. Don't let it get out of hand like last time in front of the Pingrong stage. That would have been a big deal..."
"Hey..."
A very low moan sounded in his ears, interrupting Jiang Mo's thoughts on future possibilities.
He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at Feixiao, who was lying on the simple sleeping bag with a flushed face and a hint of anger. He blinked slightly, and then suddenly realized something. He immediately took away his hand that was unconsciously rubbing the girl's fox ears and laughed dryly twice.
“It feels good, I couldn’t help but rub it more…”
Looking at Jiang Mo's embarrassed expression, Fei Xiao curled her lips, as if she didn't believe his nonsense at all. However... she didn't say anything, but just asked softly:
"How many days will we stay here? When will we return to Yaoqing?"
"According to General Yue Yu and Grand Diviner Jing Tian, it may take about two or three days. The main thing is to check this place to see if there are any traces of the longevity plague deliberately left by Bu Liren."
"That's it..."
Fei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, but soon as if he had thought of something, he raised his head to meet the pair of black eyes that seemed to be forever silent, and asked in a low voice:
"Jiang Mo... after you announced to the Ten Kings Division that you possessed the power of Changle Tianjun... you also heard a sound similar to the one just now, right? Otherwise, how could you be so proficient..."
"Yes," Jiang Mo nodded noncommittally, "I did hear it, but to me... their voices are not important, because I will use facts to prove that 'I am harmless'."
"Believe in yourself and the judgment of those around you. There is nothing that cannot be overcome. If there is no precedent, then make it a precedent. It's that simple."
Jiang Mo's slender fingers gently brushed Fei Xiao's cheek, and his expression was extremely gentle, as if he was remembering the scene of his "identification" at the Dan Ding Division.
"What you need to do now is just like what I did back then. Believe in yourself, trust my judgment, take a good rest, and then..."
"When you wake up, we'll talk about what you saw when you were caught in the 'Moon Madness', and then I'll teach you how to resist that 'madness'."
Looking at Jiang Mo with a confident smile in front of her, Fei Xiao felt a warmth surge in her heart, slowly spreading to every part of her body, warming her cold hands once again.
"it is good."
She didn't express her gratitude too much, but just closed her eyes obediently, and slowly fell into the dreamland under the lingering comforting breath of Jiang Mo.
Just as Feixiao closed his eyes and his breathing returned to normal, a red light curtain suddenly popped up in front of Jiang Mo's eyes.
The fox girl took your words as a golden rule, and her trust in you deepened. Training progress +10%.

......
Perhaps it was because Jiang Mo, the top-level container that could contain blood, energy, and madness, had reached its limit, or perhaps it was because once "Moon Madness" was activated, it could never be stopped.
After falling asleep, Feixiao once again came to the scarlet wasteland.
Standing on the scarlet wasteland and looking around, corpses were everywhere - the corpses of the Cloud Riders, the corpses of the Buli people, and even the corpses of the Wing Makers who were hunted to near extinction by the Antimatter Legion.
Under the reflection of the blood-red sky, everything in front of me was coated with a layer of heart-pounding scarlet blood light.
Looking at the horrifying scene in front of him, Feixiao's face did not show the slightest panic.
When she just woke up, she connected the "Moon Madness" in her body with the nightmares that had appeared frequently since she left Buli Camp.
So... several months later, when she came to this scarlet wasteland again, there was not a trace of surprise on her face.
"Sure enough...is it here again?"
She murmured softly as she looked at the pile of corpses and the fallen Cloud Cavalry flag on the ground.
"Hey? You've been away for so long and you're back? Did you finally feel your strength wasn't enough?"
Just as she was wondering why there was no roar from Bu Liren here, a familiar, slightly frivolous female voice came into her ears.
She subconsciously raised her head and looked towards "herself" who had appeared nearby at some point in the sound, a look of realization appearing on her face.
"So... is this how the phrase 'our only enemy is ourselves' is understood? Did Jiang Mo already know all this? Or has he experienced it himself?"
Fei Xiao blinked lightly, and after a brief thought, he quickly shook his head. He then looked at himself, whose eyes were red, arms folded across his chest, and who looked so arrogant, and said softly:
“I never felt like I didn’t have enough strength.”
"Really? But you didn't think so in Luo Yuxing's camp, on the battlefield again and again."
The frivolous tone in Feixiao's words became stronger and stronger, and even the smile on her face became... somewhat disdainful.
"Do you need me to help you recall? In Luo Yuxing's Buli Camp, you felt that you were too weak to lead all your compatriots to escape from that devil's lair, so you had to let Jiang Mo take over the responsibility."
"On the battlefield in the wilderness, you were frustrated that you could only scout Jiang Mo's territory because you wanted to help him more, but you couldn't."
"Before this battle, you were sad that you couldn't charge with Jiang Mo... Do I need to say these words again?"
Feixiao crossed his arms over his chest, carelessly kicked away the corpses on the ground, and walked towards Feixiao slowly while saying:
"It's just that I helped you this time, didn't I?"
