Wei Yanwu was speechless at the Rat King's words.
Then he shook his head:
"It seems the Rat King still has a lot of grievances against me."
There's no way he could believe that.
"If you'd like to have a bowl of Zhajiangmian with me tonight, I'd be happy to."
Wei Yanwu shook his head after hearing this:
"I'd better not. If I eat anything random at night, Wen Yue will scold me."
"You're still so afraid of your wife," the Rat King couldn't help but chuckle.
"Same here, aren't you the same?"
Unfortunately, both of the leaders of Longmen, one in the open and one in the shadows, are somewhat afraid of their wives, which is quite a well-known fact within their small circle.
……
"That kid Bai Ye did a good job. I think that guest from Syracuse might have wanted to make some more requests, but in the end he didn't say them," the Rat King said suddenly while eating his noodles.
Clearly, even the Rat King could guess that Bai Ye had personally warned the female envoy from Syracuse, as per their prior agreement. Bai Ye almost never broke his promises; he was a man of extremely high integrity, always keeping his word.
Because of Bai Ye, the special envoy dared not utter another word.
"Sigh—" Wei Yanwu's expression did not show much joy.
He shook his head:
“When did Longmen need young people like him to decorate its facade? ... Letting the younger generation do these things is something we should be responsible for.”
“After all, we’re all getting old.” The Rat King looked out the window. “Back in the day, we stopped the subsonic Originium Bugs outside Lungmen City, and we also stopped the strange underground army.”
"Yes, time really flies..."
"If the next generation of Longmen is as outstanding as him, I will be at ease."
There are talented young people, but not many, and compared to Bai Ye, they are indeed pale in comparison.
As for the Great Yan, there are indeed many outstanding young people, but none of them can compare to Bai Ye. He is a heavyweight, and comparing him with others feels like bullying him.
"That girl, Xiao Chen, is quite good. She's my daughter too, and she's not bad either. Don't worry so much about the children; they'll grow up. As for the sick tiger's granddaughter, she's a capable woman as well," the Rat King comforted him.
"I hope so. If we're gone someday, I hope they can take over our responsibilities." Wei Yanwu said meaningfully.
"Don't worry, old friend. Although we've been a bit annoyed with you lately, when the time comes, we old guys will definitely stand behind you."
-------------------------------------
Unbeknownst to Bai Ye, the noise from his occasional takeoff once again stunned Cardedoux.
However, he didn't care about the Syracusan.
Bai Ye's destination is the core city.
Every time he returned to the core city, he felt an immense sense of familiarity.
Windmills are everywhere here, their blades turning slowly, making his power even more active.
You can call this place Wind City.
Bypassing the air defenses and avoiding the revelers, Bai Ye arrived at the heart of the core city.
As he expected, most of the Reunification Movement's cadres did not sleep.
The core city may be a bit chaotic today. In order to prevent any unexpected situations, these cadres must stay awake so that they can deal with emergencies immediately.
Because it was a newly established city, its infrastructure and urban functions were not yet perfect, so it could only be built little by little. Then, the cadres of the integration movement personally filled the gaps.
……
At this moment, everyone is keeping watch and chatting in the council hall.
The dome here is high enough, and it's also suitable for Big Dad Bochokasti.
“If Bai Ye were here…” Yelena couldn’t help but say.
She yawned softly.
Talulah nodded after hearing this.
There she was, along with Little Deer, Yelena, and Patriot, but Bai Ye was missing. As for the other young cadres, she had sent them all back to sleep.
"Is Big Daddy asleep?" the little deer sitting next to Talulah asked softly.
The pureblood Wendigo sat quietly, making almost no sound and not speaking for a long time, looking as if he were asleep.
"not yet."
A deep voice echoed from a corner not far away.
Although Rhodes Island's treatment can help alleviate Big Daddy's condition, it cannot heal his already injured throat.
Then, he suddenly stood up and walked to the door.
The door opened, and Bai Ye's figure appeared outside.
"I heard someone misses me... Wow, Daddy, that scared me."
Bai Ye heard Yelena's voice as he approached, but the door suddenly opened by itself, and he saw the pureblood Wendigo standing behind it.
If the person on the other end were an enemy, this would already be quite frightening. The thought of a patriot hiding behind the door is terrifying.
Thankfully, my boss is a friendly unit; he only provides a sense of security...
"As expected... it's you." After confirming Bai Ye's identity, the eldest uncle led Bai Ye in.
"Bai Ye, what brings you here?" Talulah stood up from her chair with some surprise.
"Today is a special day, it's Requiem Night," Bai Ye replied with a smile. "I want to take you somewhere, but be quick and come back."
“But if I leave the core city…” Talulah hesitated, also curious about where Bai Ye would take her.
“You and him… go, there are still… us here.” The old man suddenly spoke up.
As a Sarkaz, he naturally knew what White Night meant by "Night of Requiem."
It's not a superficial celebration, but rather it carries the original meaning of this festival.
After being persuaded by everyone, Talulah nodded.
Her intuition told her she should go.
Chapter 118 Nameless Tomb
"Where are we going?"
Talulah looked somewhat agitated.
Or rather, I'm somewhat excited.
Although Talulah always presents herself as a reliable and composed leader in front of others, she is always a youthful and energetic girl in front of her companions in private.
She can always let go of her burdens in front of her friends, so her change in status does not make her old friends feel distant.
"You'll see when we get there." Bai Ye smiled and took out a cup of hot drink he had prepared for Talulah to drink.
Bai Ye's signature skill, which he built from scratch, is naturally potion making. Even though he no longer needs to rely on this skill to lure players, he has never neglected this craft. Now he is considered one of the top pharmacists in Rhodes Island's medical department.
However, Bai Ye regretted it the moment he handed over the medicine.
As expected, Talulah looked at the warm potion bottle in her hand with some suspicion.
She didn't quite understand why Bai Ye wanted her to drink this.
"I'm sorry, I was stupid. I forgot that you already have magic powers, you don't need to drink this."
This hot drink helps keep your body warm, because being carried high into the sky by the White Night is not a good thing; you'll freeze half to death.
Don't ask why Bai Ye knew about this, or which unlucky soul was the first to be taken to the sky by him.
However, Talulah possesses unique Originium Arts, so she doesn't need to worry about low temperatures at all. After all, her flames can rival Frostnova's magic.
Bai Ye was a little embarrassed and wanted to take back the potion, but Talulah smiled and drank it all first.
"It's even fruit-flavored?" Talulah blinked after finishing her drink. "It tastes really good. Yelena might like it."
Bai Ye took the empty bottle from Talulah, but hesitated to speak.
"what happened?"
"I didn't expect you to snatch it and drink it."
"After all, it was you who prepared this, so I don't want to let my friend down. But you actually forgot what Originium Arts are... that's really sad!"
Although she said she was angry, a smile lingered in Talulah's eyes.
"Well, by the way, I'd like to suggest that you change into a black outfit today." Bai Ye glanced at the military uniform the girl was wearing one last time and shook his head helplessly.
While Koschl is indeed repulsive, you have to admit his taste. At least, the clothes he chose when possessing Talulah's body were far more attractive than Talulah herself.
Talulah wears the same military uniform from start to finish, which does look quite stylish, but it gets boring after a while.
It's a pity that Koschke, that black snake, left us too soon, so we couldn't ask him for advice on clothing matching.
……
Talulah followed White Night's advice and returned to her residence to borrow a black dress from Alina the deer.
She then looked around curiously but didn't see any vehicles.
"How do we get there?" she asked Bai Ye.
"Of course...fly over."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind rose around Bai Ye, carrying him and Talulah towards Lungmen.
-------------------------------------
"Cough cough—that was a terrible experience."
Talulah landed on the ground from mid-air and stumbled. Bai Ye quickly reached out to support her.
Yes, such a flight would not be a pleasant experience for anyone.
Moreover, Bai Ye flew far too fast.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."
Bai Ye also tidied up her wind-blown hair and clothes.
"Where are we—Lungmen?" Fortunately, Talulah was no ordinary person, and she quickly recovered.
She looked around. This was the wilderness outside Lungmen, and the outline of a huge mobile city could be seen in the distance.
That is Longmen.
The city lights illuminated the sky, making it seem as if there was no difference between night and day.
The afterglow of Requiem Night had not yet faded, and the city remained bustling with activity.
However, none of this mattered to Bai Ye and Talulah. In the wilderness, they could not hear the noise of the city; all they could hear was the sound of the wind and the unique silence of the wilderness.
“This is the outskirts of Lungmen. I’ve been wanting to bring you here for a while now… Today I’ve finally found a good opportunity.”
Bai Ye took off her hat.
"This...is this?"
Talulah looked at the stone tablet in front of her with some hesitation.
Perhaps due to its age, the wind and sand of the wilderness have eroded the stone tablet, making it mottled and broken, but the stone tablet still stands.
"Here lies...your father, and your and Chen Huijie's mother."
“Wei Yanwu made these by hand. They are his sisters and his brothers who are not related by blood.”
Bai Ye said softly.
"This is their nameless grave."
Talulah stared in surprise at the stone tablet before her, her lips trembling slightly.
Bai Ye continued:
